Adventurers are essentially immortals as they can infinitely respawn, so they won't die of starvation even without food. However the quality of life would drastically drop if they could no longer eat.
Eins has no authority over the adventurers and subjugating immortal beings is going to be extremely difficult even if he had a huge army. However Akiba is already full of people of the land and they already recognize him as the de facto authority, and not only them, all the surrounding area do so as well.
So if Eins proclaims himself ruler of Akiba, the remaining adventurers would need to openly challenge him, and it could escalate into a civil war where every people of the land would side with Eins. Even if the free adventurers won, the people of the land would still turn their back on them. And since their comfortable life fully depends on the people of the land, well, that's why Eins holds all the cards in his hand and everyone else is screwed.
I wonder what Shiroe is going to do about this whole situation. Will he manage to stop Eins' plans, or will he end up supporting the creation of a government? Even so, he'll probably change the situation to his advantage.
