King of Sangdao Country had little influence! Almost all of Sangdao's power was in the hands of the National Master, especially among the high-ranking cultivators. Over these years, the king has tried to "diligently govern" and even personally recruited potential talents, but so far, he only has two Sixth Great Realm experts by his side, far inferior to the National Master.
As for the garrison in the capital city and the royal palace, the total number is around four thousand, considered as a "large army" within Sangdao Country, yet before the Seventh Realm Supreme, these troops are almost useless.
