The Grand Templar Sect was sent into an uproar. Who dared to challenge their prestige in the 74th quadrant? Even the two Emperor God Clans wouldn't dare to do something like this for fear of being frozen out of the tower. Although the sect wouldn't take its punishment too far for fear of a joint attack by both clans, it wouldn't remain quite either.

Yet, someone had destroyed their gate? Stalking into their prestigious sect without a care for their face? This was no less atrocious than spitting on the corpses of their ancestors.

Despite such an event being completely unprecedented, it didn't mean that there weren't counter measures in place.

The Grand Templar Sect followed an odd culture of Kings and Vassals, where Vassals were the name given to disciples, while King referred to the current head of the sect which happened to be of Bors' Cromwell family.

Disciple rankings, or rather, vassal rankings, decided the number of disciples one could have under their direct control along with the amount of land they harbored. According to the system, higher ranking vassals were given more prosperous lands nearer to the central sect while weaker vassals were given lands further outward. This system suffused all 29 universes the Grand Templar Sect controlled.

In line with this system, vassals not only manned a portion of the fighting power of the sect, but also had an obligation, according to sect rules, to provide said fighting power in the case that the sect required their services. Thus, it was no surprise that vassal rankings fell in line with title rankings of the tower.

The lowest ranking vassal allowed to own land and command fighting powers of the sect were Viscounts, with untitled individuals not having earned this right. However, in line with their low ranking, Viscounts were placed in the outskirts of the sect's territories, manning the very edges of their conquered universes.

Further inward, Earls began to appear, solidifying the middle regions of the sect's territories. However, the backbone of the sect's power were Marquises who manned the middle-central portions.

That said, the power houses of the sect were without a doubt their Dukes, with their Kings then ruling over them all.

The gate that was destroyed was one leading to the very center sect, a place where only Dukes, Kings and their family members could enter. Unless you were a high-profile guest, entering such a region was completely unheard of.

While the Grand Templar Sect only had three kings, they had fifty-seven Dukes. Sixteen of whom were saints, while forty-one of them were celestials!

This may seem odd. After all, it would make more sense for there to be weaker dukes as opposed to stronger dukes. However, this didn't take into account the culture of weaker quadrants.

Unlike Dyon and his demon generals, most weren't confident enough to enter the hardest trial they could immediately. In weaker quadrants, only the best of geniuses would immediately enter Duke level trials, making those who became Dukes while they were still saints more talented than others.

Usually, one wouldn't enter a Duke level trial until they first tested themselves in a lower level trial. After gauging their limits appropriately, they would then enter a higher-level trial, which resulted in many Dukes of the 74th quadrant coming from those who hadn't attempted the trial until they broke through and became a celestial first.

Knowing this truth, the rank of Duke was divided into three subcategories, each more prestigious than the last. First tier Dukes, those who only became a Duke after entering the celestial realm. Second tier Dukes, those who became Dukes as a saint. And third tier Dukes, those who became Dukes as saints, but had now broken into the celestial realm.

The gate the intruder shattered led him directly into the territory of the first tier Dukes…

At that moment, the bells sounded throughout Planet Templar, alerting all Dukes of an invasion. Mere seconds passed before this invasion warning was sent throughout Universe Templar, altering all 37 inhabited planets.

Those who were visiting the 74th quadrant, whether it be for p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e or business, looked up in confusion. Did they accidentally stumble upon a war?

Some were caught between running away and staying. If they ran now, they could still make it to the gate before the Grand Templar Sect shut down teleportation in order to trap their enemies. They'd also be safe from whatever destruction might occur. But, at the same time, wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on such a show? Such large scale battles outside of the gates were rare.

Plus, such a large event would definitely fetch them a hefty sum from the Sapientia News Network. They could be missing out on a massive pay day.

Thinking to this, most decided to stay, eager to see if they could capture the action. The Grand Templar Sect rarely let anyone into their central region, this could be a good chance to catch a glimpse of what they were hiding. It could give them an edge in the coming ranking tournament too.

At that moment, the 74th quadrant was sent into an uproar. Yet, the two clans who one might assume would gain the most from this remained absolutely silent. The Camelot and Montfort Emperor God Clans, two staunch rivals of the Grand Templar Sect fell into an eerie calm as though none of this had anything to do with them at all.
