Lan Qing said in a low voice, "If my guess is right, the predators' motive is very simple. They don't wish for the humans to go all out to deal with them. Our Bastions have the advantage, which means that we have a chance of defeating them. Similarly, the Eastern and the Northern Alliance have also seen hope in us and have high hopes for us. Under such circumstances, will they send more troops to assist us? No, they won't. That's because both alliances have to be wary and stay on guard against the predators' doing a sudden spatial jump and appearing in their territory. That's especially the case for the Northern Alliance, which is still quite powerful. As long as the predators continue to drag out this war and not destroy us, then the humans' sense of crisis won't be so strong. There's no need to go all out. As long as the war wastes enough time, their goal has been achieved."
