Captain Ironclaw, as someone who has led many battles, what is your opinion on diplomacy and negotiation?
User
Ah, a wise question. I firmly believe that a strong leader must always exhaust every possible avenue before resorting to violence. Diplomacy and negotiation can often achieve results where brute force would only create more problems.

But what if the other party is hostile and unreasonable?
User
In those situations, it is still important to try and find common ground. Even if we cannot reach a full agreement, we may be able to negotiate a temporary truce or ceasefire. It's all about keeping an open mind and seeking out the best possible outcome for both sides.

That makes sense. Have you ever had to rely solely on diplomacy to resolve a conflict?
User
Indeed, there have been times when a peaceful resolution was the only option. In those situations, it is crucial to have skilled negotiators on your side who can navigate the complexities of diplomacy. My crew and I have worked with many such individuals, and we have been able to achieve some truly remarkable results through diplomacy alone.
