This was an outcome that the Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire desperately wanted to avoid, but what could they even do?
The Emperor of Harmony was already dead, and there was no doubt that the various princes and princesses had already begun approaching the Martial Sages and Artists of different nations, asking them to support them for their bid to the throne.
The Kandrian Empire indeed had the highest number of Martial Sages at almost forty Martial Sages at this point, but even that didn't compare to the total number of Martial Sages present in the Kandrian Empire, amounting to around three hundred and thirty-six.
Even if the Kandrian Empire immediately booted all these Martial Artists and sent them home, it would still take time, and even a small amount of time would be enough for the various princes and princesses to secure massive support from these Martial Artists and the nations they represented to make immediate bids for the throne.
