Ma Lin said, "Lord Sam, our strength is much greater than you can imagine. We presently do not wish to engage in battle with you."

Ma Lin said, "Legal or not, isn't that up to you to dictate? Anyway, your Soldiers surely won't be able to defeat mine. My visit here is only to minimize your losses."
Lord Sam rattled on at length, expressing how many reinforcements he had, how many advantages he possessed, and striving to prove that he was bound to emerge victorious.
