A favor was a favor.
After all, this concerned the survival of their races.
They had been lying low for countless years, after all.
They couldn't risk their warriors and people's lives just because of a few words from the Human Race.

If they suffered heavy casualties in the end, even if they and the Human Race defeated the Witch and Monster Races,

There was no denying that Kirin King was a remarkably shrewd fellow.
If they didn't reassure these people in advance,
they might well start entertaining
