Don't you at least have to have conquered a fortress if you claim to control Reshanta?
At your level, you're still a long way off, of course.
Did you ever play the game "Heaven and Hell" as a child?
Sometimes the battle for the Abyss Fortress reminds me of it.
For a commander or brigade general, of course, it's a battle on a world map.
Just like with "Heaven and Hell".
And it's also the same for the legions who get paid in advance.
