Imperial Palace Council Hall

Pippin and Gaia, who were stationed at the Western Borders, had also arrived at the palace hall.
"How is the progress on the empire's conscription?" Aurek inquired.
Winston stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, all provinces have registered and conscripted one hundred million soldiers, including forty million apprentice-level Awakener and over ten million apprentice rank Awakener."
"Further registration is still ongoing, but the military expenses and resource consumption are becoming unsustainable in the long term."
The scale of the conscription across Crossbridge Empire was simply overwhelming.
Not to mention other factors, just the activation of long-distance teleportation arrays to mobilize the troops alone required an astronomical amount of Energy Stones!
Let alone daily training, equipment provisioning like standard armor and weapons…
