Zhou Bai listened, a bit surprised. She knew how proud Viscount Robin was, but hadn't expected him to bow his head as well.
"Did you beat them that badly?" Zhou Bai asked instinctively.
Only by crushing Barnes Village so thoroughly that they had no way to fight back would they be so disheartened as to make another choice.
"Not really! They'd already absorbed the Professionals from Qinghe Village, but those guys surrendered as soon as they got on the battlefield, which messed up their morale. We only managed one effective attack, and once we wrecked their rhythm, they couldn't pull together any defense. As for their trump cards, they had two—two High-level Magic Scrolls. One was for attack, the other was for defense. The attack one nearly killed me; the defense one, I drained its magic power with my attacks until it was useless. I survived because someone was helping me from behind the scenes." Jin Jingshan explained simply, "I made it out because someone had my back."
