"war!"
"war!"
"war!"
The voices of people drowned out the downpour and suppressed the gale.
People brandished their weapons, thus beginning the operation.
They laid fortifications on the inner city walls, they set up crossfire in the markets, and they placed obstacles and traps in the harbor.
The massive ship, resembling a fortress, slowly moved to a more suitable firing position, raising its dark cannon muzzles and aiming at a location invisible in the rain.

Li Huaxing pushed open the door and said to her worried sister, "I'm going to fight."
