Ittosai and Mikami are both dead, and lin-wutian asks them if they even have the energy to fight him now that he's defeated an expert like him. Mikami says that they're going to have to kill the commander if they return, and it's not clear whether they'll make it back alive or not. They're both willing to lead their men and pledge their allegiances to Milord. Milord says that in the future, they can find a way to kill him. He curses Mikami for harboring traitorous thoughts, and he hopes that Milord will keep his word.
