it would make sense if Lukedonia and the Union are roughly equal in strength, so Clan leaders=Elders
also, they were kinda able to keep up with Franken, who is as strong as a clan leader
they were weaker, but could injure him quite a lotn (and those are supposedly only the weaker ones)
The way I see it, Franken gets always injured because he likes to play with his victim..
and Franken is not as strong as a clan leader, the only reason they had to be 2 to apprehend him is because they didn't want to kill him..
I really think Lukedonia >> Union (at least for the 4+ elders..)
it was explicitely stated that he's as strong as a clan leader, it doesn't contradict the fact that they had to use 2 CLs to capture him alive
it's possible Lukedonia would own the Union, I thought so too at first, but the elders -even if they're way too overconfident- seem to at least be able to put up a fight
well, they probably don't have anyone who could remotely match the Lord
