Ves agreed to intercede in this matter.
The Phase Lord Department should have been a powerful contributor to red humanity's defense. Its phalanxes were expensive and time-consuming to set up, but could put up a mean fight against alien phase lords once they deployed on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, many people seemed to have forgotten about human phase lords as their appearance on the battlefield petered out shortly after they appeared.
While they enjoyed a modestly positive track record in the initial months, the secret personality changes that overcame them when their body cultivation advanced past a certain threshold caused them to care much less about their military obligations.
They had retreated to their bases and remained isolated from the rest of red humanity!
The other members of the Red Collective initially did not find this strange. Human phase lords were a very new phenomenon, and who knew what problems or bugs these pioneering humans encountered.
