"The problem with that line of logic is that Martial Sages can only stabilize the situation of human civilization for as long as they are here," the Britannian Prime Minister declared. "The moment they leave to destroy the Beast That Roared, we will be back to square one."
"We can prepare solutions with the reprieve we get from their protection," Chairman Bradt retorted. "We can ensure that we build ourselves in the time that we are protected by them."
"And just what solutions can you erect with their presence that you could without their presence?" The Britannian Prime Minister raised an eyebrow. "They cannot directly improve our power to cope without their absence. If anything, we will likely grow psychologically dependent on them and not proliferate any solution we develop as fast as we would without their presence."
