Although imperial power was paramount in Yun Nation, the position of warlord was inherited. It was passed down from generation to generation and power was consolidated in a region by the family.
Over the centuries, these warlords became more like local tyrants.
That so-called imperial power was only a nominal title.
It was almost identical to Zhou Tianzi and the dukes as mentioned in the history of China.
In the case here, the dukes were replaced by the warlords.
The warlords were divided into different factions, and the relationships among them were extremely complex. Even if the emperor of the Yun Nation had the intention of changing the structure, it was hard to intervene.
However, the tyrannical days of these warlords were over, and they weren't having a good time now.
This was especially so for those cities facing the frontline of the Dayao army. Most of these city chiefs didn't even know where their skeletons were thrown to.
