Its not embarrassing to ask for help. If our allies with weaker upper tiers were hit, we would jump in to defend them just like this. Sheer size doesn't mean anything here, its all about where it is located. Your mid and lower tiers are not tough, in fact they lack war chests for the most part (though I'm sure some fight very well). Also, didn't you just ask us for peace all of 6 hours ago, which is why you were sent that message?
If you want to discuss the end of this war, then come talk to me.
