If it was in the Federation, such a situation would never happen. Even the second and third-tier troops would definitely not be in such a state.
From Chu Yunfan's point of view, the system of Grand Xia was problematic from the very beginning. Back then, the ten great sects had joined forces to assist the king in establishing Grand Xia. From then on, the ten sects began to infiltrate every aspect of Grand Xia.
In many places, the power of the ten sects was much greater than that of Grand Xia. Although the empire was still the largest power around, there were too many places in the world that it couldn't control.
Right now, Grand Xia seemed to be in a stable state. That was because the various major powers, including the Flying Celestials, needed such a power to unify the power of the humans. It would not allow the demons, barbarians, and Hus to take advantage of the situation.
