Caroline asks how the flower kingdom can be defeated when it has such a poor defense. The flower kingdom has a poem called the "frontier poem", which is about the frontier. Caroline explains that the general leads the troops west at dawn, and the sound of the trumpets is heard from the west. The drums of war echo throughout the countryside, and many heroes are left in the history of the kingdom. The narrator concludes that Caroline understands the meaning of the poem, and that the kingdom's history proves that there is always someone who can solve a problem.
