The real limit came under Emperor Wuzo Camelot, when Camelot faced annihilation. For twelve grueling years, they fought four top-tier nations, peaking at 1.5 million troops. The cost? Nationwide mourning, as the war bled the nation dry and crushed all four enemies.
Camelot could win such wars—but at a price. Kenji knew repeating that would drain Camelot's strength for years.
After Wuzo's reign, it took two emperors to recover from that war's toll. Kenji had no desire to relive that.
