Warlords (武将, Bushō) are leaders able to exercise military, economic, and/or political control over a subnational territory within a sovereign state from mobilized, loyal armed forces.[4]
Long ago, the Eight Reaper Legions were warlords and agents of Death dedicated to preserving world order on behest of the Grim Reaper. They were the predecessors of the Death Scythes of Death Weapon Meister Academy.[1][5]
