As each major team offered various incentives, Stragos, the leader of the Azure Heaven Alliance, could only do his best to match them.
Compared to other races, they really didn't have any advantage.
Their unity wasn't as close as the mechanical race, while their wealth and freedom weren't better than those of the Void Mercenary and Business Commerce alliances. They also didn't have the strength comparable to the ancient race, nor a symbiotic bond like the elementals.
In short, they were average in all kinds of ways; it was a miracle they even made it to one of the seven major powers.
If not for Stragos's talent and strategic vision, their position really wouldn't be eligible to stand side by side with these major powers.
Still, being average had its benefits. In exchange for control and autonomy, Stragos was willing to share the world with everyone.
