Although the Glittergold Trade Union was just a commercial organization, it had 5,000 Warriors, all of whom had strength of level-10 or higher. They could all be considered elites in the Felan Kingdom. In addition, there was also a Magic Legion of more than 300 mages who were above level-15. They could be considered no different from the mages of the Alanna Magic Council.
The two powerful groups of guards were guarding the massive wealth of the Glittergold Trade Union, as well as Lafalia City, maintaining the order of this commercial center. It was tantamount to providing some protection to the various trade unions that had gathered there. Hence, those trade unions needed not hire their own guards or worry about being robbed by bandits.
