Even if these attacks don't involve anyone from the Legendary Realm, we could easily fend them off once, twice, or three times, but what if it's ten times, twenty times, thirty times?"
When it comes to attrition, living beings absolutely cannot outlast monsters.
"Moreover, once they have thoroughly scouted the situation, the Fang of the Jackal Wolf might also ally with other Overlord Powers to launch an invasion against us, which we cannot afford to overlook."
