During their travel to the northern sub-continents where the Sovereign of Decay was located, the five of them had leveled up quite a lot. Since two centuries have now passed, they have peaked a bit for their levels since it's harder to gain experience as they level up.
Leonor was now level 399, Daphynia was level 431, and the three were around level 300+ to 350+. The five of them were also escorted by some high-ranking adventurers who are ranked B to A plus party rankings and a lot of military men.
Back then, the highest-ranking adventurer party was still in the Rank S but since these parties were also busy dealing with other stuff, and were considered high in demand, it was hard to recruit every one of them.
And so, the nation opted to have its own military, a small group of mages and archers from the elven nation, and lower-ranking guild parties.
