What combat power could such a military, infiltrated in every aspect by the noble interest classes, possibly have left? Can it protect the Frandy Royal City?
Few held any hope for this.
Yet now, the situation is that this Imperial Guard is the strongest military force within the Royal City.
Many nobles present remained silent.
This situation was precisely crafted by their own hands. The strength of the Imperial Guard had been severely eroded by them, but this was an unspoken rule from ancient times— if you don't do it, others will.
To ensure their own interests weren't compromised, they had no choice but to join this grand feast.
As a result, the Imperial Guard, tasked with defending the Royal City, continued to deteriorate.
"Listen to the rumors from the South, any city broken by external armies has seen many noble families within it eliminated. These Beastmen from the Blue Dragon Kingdom seem unwilling to allow any original noble power to exist in their territory."
