No, compared to the Ten Great Demon Lords of your era, the calibers of the current Octagram are a bit extraordinary.
Take Leon for example, even when heâs hiding his true strength he still has the battle prowess of a magic knight corps.
Even Mirim who was famous for having no subordinates has taken in Karion and Frey, two old demon lord class individuals as her subordinates.
Thereâs also the demon lord whoâs been gathering territory, and is now the ruler of the Great Jura Forest.
Then of course thereâs Guy whoâs the strongest, alongside Dagruel and Ruminas dubbed the largest faction alongside their own forces.
Arenât the only weak ones Ramiris and Dino?

If thereâs one question present, there should have been some strong veterans with a certain degree of strength somewhere amidst the armored corps, why didnât they play an active roll is inexplicable.

However, things have sure gotten interesting.
Currently, the Imperial army has also started the two-front war against Luminas.
Calgurioâs defeat still hasnât been transmitted, and Gladimâs demonic beast corps and
Airships
are moving to the north.
The defense of the capital is left to the hybrid corps
In other words, if I will it, I can grasp the heart of the empire in my hands.
If we donât need to be vigilant about the armored corpsâ return, letâs start our military operation with some swagger.

Yuuki was well aware of that. He will result in profit no matter what the scenario.
