The nobles of the Northern Border were not naturally honest, but were consistently beaten by the Orcs, so they couldn't hide their true strength.
In contrast, the major nobles in the south were different. In all the wars, they played the role of reinforcements, and the deeper they hid their strength, the more beneficial it was for their family.
Simply calculating the apparent military strength, the power of the Dalton Family was only one-third of the weakest among the Five Great Houses of the North, and the Flowing Wind Family had only half the strength of the weakest family.
However, looking at the performances of these two families, they clearly had more power than this.
After the apparent loss of their armies, they were able to reorganize immediately. Even if their combat power had declined, it was enough to prove their strong foundations.
From the perspective of the kingdom, the robust strength of the domestic major nobles was undoubtedly a good thing.
