Take troop types, for example. In the outer regions, first-tier soldiers were now basically the main force, with second-tier troops as support. Third-tier soldiers were already rare, while those with fourth-tier strength were basically generals.
Although the Guti Domain was merely a remote frontier domain within the Apocalypse World, its strength was certainly far greater than that of your novice world. There was no doubt about that.
The nations of the inner region basically used second-tier troops as their main force and third-tier troops as support. There were also quite a few fourth-tier troops, and one needed fifth-tier cultivation just to become a minor commander. The strength gap between first-tier and second-tier soldiers was seven or eightfold; if the two sides fought, there was no need to say what the outcome would be.
Moreover, the longer a faction had existed, the deeper its foundation and the more methods it possessed. It could be said that the inner region's factions were far stronger than those of the outer worlds, because their levels of strength were simply different.
Zhao Fu was somewhat alarmed as well. When it came to the true strength of the inner region, even against nations of the same rank, Great Qin would find it difficult to win if they truly fought. And the Guti Domain was only a remote frontier domain—how powerful, then, must the Heavenly Domain at the center of the Apocalypse World be?
