"In addition to the defense forces stationed in each city, I've made several key appointments within the broader military structure," Huang Xinyi began.
She started with the Imperial Guard, the elite unit tasked with protecting her and the city where she would reside outside Jingzhong City.
"Commander Xu Feng leads the Imperial Guard. He has proven himself time and again, not just in battle but also through his loyalty to the empire. His unit is one of the best-trained in the empire, and I trust him completely to protect our most valuable assets."
Though Huang Xinyi is powerful enough not to need personal protection, the Imperial Guard serves as a symbol of status. Beyond that, the soldiers in the Imperial Guard are skilled in espionage, making them a valuable tool when necessary.
Next, she discussed the Border Patrol, responsible for monitoring the empire's vast and sometimes dangerous borders.
