"It's not that we don't want to help, it's that we simply don't have the manpower."
Master Chen's voice grew heavier, tinged with a helpless bitterness:
"The intel from our inside sources is clear. The 'Global Alliance Army against the Holy Empire' was never just targeting Tingfeng's Holy Empire."
"The moment they announced their alliance, they officially declared a 'Plane Invasion' against all Tier Three and Tier Four Lord Planes in our Hua Country territory, giving us no time to react."
He paused, his fingertip tracing over the coordinates of the three Lord Planes closest to the border on the screen. The "Locked" indicators there were already flashing red.
"Right now, every Lord Plane in the Hua Country territory has to muster its forces for defense. Forget sending elite players to support Tingfeng; we'll have to fight with everything we've got just to hold onto our own Lord's Halls and Lord Planes."
Hearing this, someone in the crowd cried out in alarm:
"What!?"
