Before and during the middle stages of the Civilization War, Saine's grandmentor, Cuilisi, had independently overseen a war zone spanning an entire Medium Star Region.
Because magicians generally held a status half a rank above knights, even knights were often wholeheartedly willing to accept magicians' commands.
Thus, it was common for Level-6 Knights to accept assignments from Level-6 Magicians.
During the Divine Descendant World War, hadn't that Level-6 Female Knight, Beipeng, also habitually followed Saine's orders?
(—So long as magicians displayed strength and wisdom that earned the knights' recognition.)
In the future Civilization War, Saine might also lead a vast force of knights and Magician Legions, independently taking responsibility for the fighting in a certain local war zone.
In fact, given Saine's current strength and the forces under his command, he could already do that.
Within the Wizard World, medium-sized powers were often led by Level-6 Creatures.
Examples included the "Gate of Elements" organization founded by Cuilisi, as well as the "Dawn Conclave" organization on the South Coast.
As for the number of powerhouses above Level 4 in the Land of Ashes, it was no longer far from the point where Saine could establish a power led by himself.
It was believed that as Saine firmly established himself at Level 6, and as the name of his Ash Holy Tower grew ever more renowned, more and more newly risen powerhouses of the Wizard World would be willing to establish their own Holy Towers and Knights' Halls in the Land of Ashes.
Speaking of which, Saine's Land of Ashes actually covered quite a vast territory.
Previously, because it had been an ungoverned region, its territorial borders had not been strictly demarcated, leaving it with enormous flexibility and room to expand.
Moreover, the landmass of the Land of Ashes was constantly expanding.
