System vs Rebirth

"Hmm, I still don't quite understand what you mean." Paul frowned.

"Then, I'll turn it into a question. If you are in his position and you lose enough people to make it look like you're going to fail and have your enemies prepare more traps for you, it means you're being pushed into the corner, right?"

Paul thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah. I would become desperate at that time."

"Then, what would you do?"

"Hmm… If I reach that situation, I might retreat."

"Exactly. People always teach you that you can't corner your enemies too much because their desperation will cause a lot of problems. While I agree with a part of it, I still think there is one more possibility. "

And that kind of mind could only be achieved by learning from the master, Luke Ardagan.
