"Bear Emperor, sending people to retaliate against the enemy isn't impossible. The problem is that it takes time!
We don't have a Giant Dragon as a mount to transport people anywhere in the shortest time.
It would take months to draft elites from various clans to form a Suicide Team, not to mention infiltrating the Empire to retaliate.
By the time we're ready, it'll all be too late!"
The Lionman King hastily vetoed.
In the 300 years of confrontation with the Alpha Kingdom, sending people deep into enemy territory for sabotage wasn't something new to our ancestors.
At the beginning, it indeed yielded significant military achievements, but the end results were often tragic.
The teams sent out almost always suffered heavy losses. The deeper they went behind enemy lines, the lower the probability of returning alive.
Without the high mobility provided by the dragons in Hudson's led stealth attack, the few hundred troops would never have been able to retreat safely.
