As Shizu in charge of Min-Cho and thus as in charge of the defense of the Cities of Intuition we will take any action we deem necessary to defend and fulfill our duty, while we ask permission from the Guild of Cho to arm defenses in Zora itself, we DO NOT think as those being required to arm and deploy the rest of the defense duties assigned to us by our circles.
Thus we feel we can exchange soldiers and units with the empire without permissions of any kind from the theocracy if we so chose it (or to make any kind of military arrangements regarding ANY defense on the areas subject to our care)
we know this may be frowned upon by the theocracy, but we min-cho people while respecting the theocracy, like to act swift and effectively upon threats.
