Across the entire continent, the Mountain Domain was yet weak. It was even less powerful compared to the intermediate aristocracy within the Kingdom.
Those with only a dozen or so knights and several thousand irregular soldiers, considered weakest among the intermediate aristocracy.
Faced with those, even some strong minor nobles could confront them defiantly. Other than a respectable title, their actual influence was almost null.
The real intermediate aristocracies not only possess vast landed estates but also have their elite teachers. The best among them even possess the ability to confront major nobles.
Undoubtedly, the Mountain Domain has not developed to that extent. Though the paper strength of the Koslow clan, including other branches, was not weak - what was hollow was always hollow.
In ordinary times, boasting about it was not a big deal, but if they were to take it seriously, they were fooling themselves.
