Under the near self-detrimental resource supply from the Dragon Group Territory, the empire's military gradually became enriched.
And the resources from the Land of Golden, exchanged with the neutral faction nobility, provided the empire with ample food reserves.
With sufficient exchange of interests, the nobility no longer hesitated to exchange resources.

They not only looted food and weapon resources rampantly but also drove many of the population to Marino Duchy's territory.
