The Dragon Clan provides protection to the Ocean Race and can recruit soldiers voluntarily in the Ocean Race territory.
Wait a moment.
This is equivalent to granting the Ocean Race a 'political status' similar to all beings in the Desolate Era.
The third clause of the alliance pertains to military matters.
The naval forces trained by the Dragon Clan in the Four Seas must follow orders from the Heavenly Court, including marshals appointed within the Dragon Clan, who must also receive direct appointments from the Heavenly Court.
The naval forces of the Four Seas will enjoy the second-tier structure of Heavenly Soldiers, and their offerings will adhere to the unified standards of the Heavenly Court, but provided by the Dragon Clan.
If any Dragon Clan general defies the orders, the Dragon Clan must bring the general's head to the Heavenly Court for confession of guilt.
In this clause of the alliance, what slightly alarms the Dragon Clan is the charge of 'defying the orders'.
