Chapter 279: Convincing Him Chapter 279: Convincing Him Now, he had no choice.

“But just know, this is not some adventure.

“It is a second rate kingdom, remember?

I beat warriors from first rate kingdoms after just weeks of training.” “You barely beat them,” Abuchi said quickly.

“You had to outthink them, find their weaknesses, and take advantage.

If they come at you together… if they have got outside help like we suspect… then they will be way stronger than we expect.” Nnenna paused, her face finally losing a bit of its confidence as she considered it.

“I know,” Nnenna replied, her voice calm but firm.

“And just like you said, I took advantage of their weaknesses before… I can do it again.” Her eyes gleamed with quiet confidence, and she lifted her chin.

I have actually been looking for a way to improve my skills.

“You think this is a game?

All of us who’ve been planning this, my friends, we’re only doing this because we have hope.

The hope that we’ll all come back alive.

If even one of them dies… it changes everything for me.” Her eyes widened.

That was when it hit her, they had already been planning this.

That meant this wasn’t some crazy idea he had just cooked up on the spot.
