184, Organize the Army and Join the Battle_3

"I think it's best not to participate. Tongling now has only twenty percent of its population remaining. The war between the two states is extremely fierce. Once involved, it would be difficult to retreat unscathed. Although the war is currently confined to Wanyang County, if it expands, our small number of people will not be effective. We could very likely be used as cannon fodder by the Holy Church!"

"I also believe we should not fight. Right now, Tongling is in dire need of revival, urgently needing more martial artists to assist in rebuilding the city. We also need to attract populations from the unaffected Zhaoyang and Yulin counties. We are severely short of manpower. Rashly going to war would not only delay the rebuilding of the city but also result in more casualties. I hope the Family Head will consider this carefully."
