After meeting with his staff to deal with more important orders for his local forces to act on, Minos focused on bringing his sect to his state.
Taking one of the most influential organizations out of one state and bringing it to another was not simple!
The Gray Clouds Sect was not just an organization that had decided to be in the Flaming Empire and could come and go as it pleased. No, this organization had once been free to do so. Still, at some point in its history, it had become a vassal of the Edwardstone family.
As a vassal, that organization had privileges, such as management of the large territory it was based in in the southeast of that state. But it also had obligations to the imperial family, such as paying fees, sending soldiers to war, etc.
Hence, it was not enough that the sect master decided to take that sect out of the Flaming Empire. That would be like taking a vital piece of a body without even asking its owner's permission!
