The position of War Leader is one of real authority, but this power cannot be wielded at any time or place.
Normally, it's just a title, and only during wartime does it become substantial.
The Black Sail hasn't had major operations in recent years, allowing him to continue with his own affairs without being tied to this role.
"Thank you, Lord Swain, Duke is willing to accept," Duke said respectfully.
Swain nodded, taking out a palm-sized alchemy board from the drawer and placing it on the table.
"Give me your badge."
Duke removed the Black Sail Badge from his chest and handed it over.
Swain placed the badge on the alchemy board, tapping it a few times with his fingers.
The alchemy board emitted a faint blue glow, scanning the badge, and after a moment, the light subsided. Swain then pushed the badge back to Duke.
