Golden Crocodile Douluo saw that no one was speaking. Forcing down his anger, he asked, "And after that? Did they continue expanding their territory?"
"Not for now. They may also need time to reorganize. Their clash with our army definitely won't have left them without losses.
With Canghai City as it is now, and given the surrounding environment, all kinds of supplies are extremely scarce now that trade has been cut off.
If they want to march out, with only their current resources, even maintaining the army's expenses will be a problem."
The subordinate who had hit the key point made Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes light up.
He immediately announced, "Listen to my order. Immediately relay this to every city near the occupied area: completely sever and block all connections with the occupied area.
All surrounding armies are to remember to fortify their walls and clear the fields. Before our reinforcements arrive, hold your cities and do not leave without authorization."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's order was swiftly passed to every town and city in the western region.
Of course, to avoid stirring panic among the lower ranks, the messengers all kept the secret that more than half the province had fallen.
At the same time, Spirit City directly dispatched two heavyweight High Priests, Titled Douluo, and sent troops to the western province to take charge of the overall situation.
And those two were none other than Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.
Each of them was already astonishingly powerful on their own, but when they worked together, their strength was something even the strongest, Golden Crocodile Douluo, could not easily contend with.
With the situation still unclear, the two of them—who had already been in charge of the intelligence forces and handled unsavory affairs—became the best choices to guard the area and investigate.
