Things had been manageable when Li Xiang was around, acting as a one-man emergency response team and rushing to the rescue all over the world. But during his absence, while Jiang Cai'Er was more than capable of defending their own city, she lacked the power to aid others.
They had dispatched over a hundred sorties of Profound Bird-3 Fighters, which were equipped with small-scale Ion Cannons capable of killing weaker Saint Tier Exotic Beasts. However, the operation was aborted after they lost more than a dozen fighters.
Training a pilot for a Profound Bird-3 is incredibly difficult, and the fighters themselves are also extremely expensive.
In fact, if they could restore the satellites in Earth's orbit or build enough ground-based stations, Jiang Cai'Er could have converted the Profound Bird-3s into drones. But as things stood, the necessary resources were simply unavailable.
