"Wouldn't it be safer if you come along with us?" Long Tao never backed down from a challenge, but the enemy this time was a monarch level power. It was better to have as many powerful allies near to you as possible.
"I understand where it is coming from. But now that the enemy has gotten wind about our stay in these regions, we need to stay behind to hold them off, at least until you and Su Menqi successfully escape. Our power has recovered quite a bit since the injury."
"But the enemy has a monarch level power. You wouldn't be able to hold your ground against such a force. We need to escape together."
"The enemy we have faced until now is quite cautious. He wouldn't make a move out of pure whim. He would first gauge our strength. The fact remains that he himself attacks and injured us. Hence he would send a relatively low force to try and subdue us."
