Sensing Su Yu's hesitation, Mona stoked his interest further.
"Su Yu," Mona said as she strolled through the subspace, "the reason I'm making this suggestion is, like I mentioned earlier, because I don't want to face life and death on the battlefield as a mercenary.
But beyond that, there's actually another important reason."
"Another reason? What is it?" Su Yu looked at her curiously.
"It's because I want to preserve my strength," Mona said, turning to face Su Yu decisively. "Drac's invasion will likely occur sooner rather than later, and none of us can predict exactly when it will happen.
At times like these, not participating in war and not depleting one's own power are the best ways to increase the chances of survival in the future.
If I follow through with this agreement, I can justifiably stay out of the war.
What do you think of this reason?"
"Hmm... I think you make a good point," Su Yu said, nodding in agreement after a brief contemplation.
