They were the military of Beigao Country, and their nature, well, was the same as the Southern Plains Kingdom.
Neither country had what you would call a professional army, and maintaining public security depended purely on whether the people in charge were willing.
Some cities in Southern Plains Kingdom had their own guards, while some fiefdoms in Beigao Country had inspectors specifically appointed to maintain local peace and order.
Different from Southern Plains Kingdom, Beigao Country had no major Sects, only a multitude of smaller ones.
This was also known to mortals.
The 'surrendered' commander in question belonged to the fief of the Warrior Clan.
This nation had no royal family; instead, it was governed by a Sect Alliance, with all major and minor matters decided by them, though naturally, no one made decisions on normal days.
Villages and towns were self-sufficient, each with their own set of rules and practices.
And each city was a Sect's station.
