The arrival of foreigners to the Desert Kingdom was both a coincidence and an inevitability.
"The times have changed..."
Without the Desert Kingdom, there would be the Ocean Kingdom. When you open your country's gates, the presence of outsiders is inevitable.
In this new era of all-out competition, lagging behind may lead to losing everything. Powers and regions without powerful warriors may not even get a chance to come to the forefront.
For Lu Ping'an, this is both the best and the worst of times.
His current Decree-level combat power, unfathomable potential, and academic specialties all contribute to an image of a talent with limitless potential... What's more important is that he is still quite "loyal," with his "weakness" being held by the local officials.
In this new era, the benefits of having someone like Lu Ping'an outweigh the costs.
"During the war era, as one who guards order, incompetence and weakness are the greatest original sins."
