The Empire was highly vigilant and strictly restrictive regarding the nobles possessing supernatural power.
As a seventh-ranked noble of the Empire, Baron Philedrica was entitled to the protection of eight knights. At the onset of the war, he sent six of them to accompany the Duke into battle in the Southern Seraph Territory. Later, during a covert attack on Southern Seraph, the remaining two extraordinary knights died alongside Baron Philedrica on the battlefield.
Thus, Silver Pigeon Fort became nearly powerless.
Although Baron Philedrica possessed immense wealth, he never considered hiring outsiders, confident in his eight extraordinary knights.
In the Eastern Great Nation on Earth, due to long-lasting peace, many young people do not grasp that hiring someone for labor and hiring someone to risk their life are never priced the same.
