"We have only three hundred warriors, so we're outnumbered. And when it comes to top-tier fighters, we have no one."
Qiao Rui analyzed the situation calmly. "If we fight them head-on, our chances are slim. Shu Yi, the others, and I can't help much right now. The burden of defending the territory will fall mainly on your shoulders."
