Their duties were the protection of the King in vicinity and they were professional member of protective system.
On the contrary, central military man were normally protected the royal palaces, but when the King come and go they accompanied and protected the King in safety zone. But just in case they did a job as a member of capital protection military affairs. A question of finance was the reason why there had been dual protection system. The government had to limit the number of private military man of protection system due to financial matter. If it increased number of man it would pay much money, therefore central military man who has no relevance to national finance were supplied as members of military affairs for the protection of King.
