After swiftly conquering five nations, Zhao Fu entered a defensive phase. In truth, Lelai Kingdom alone did not have the strength to control such a vast area spanning five nations, so it had to assume a defensive posture to prevent other nations from eyeing it greedily.
However, it was impossible to reclaim the territories that the surrounding nations had seized in the chaos. Zhao Fu could not possibly start a war with them over this, so he could only let them gain a little advantage.
At the same time, Zhao Fu helped Wolf Cang Kingdom restore its nation. Wolf Cang Kingdom was a half-werewolf nation; if it governed the three half-werewolf nations, the resistance would be much weaker, and the surrounding nations would find it difficult to do anything. If Green Shade Kingdom occupied the three half-werewolf nations instead, the situation would be rather dangerous.
Lelai Kingdom had also annexed two Greenfield People nations, directly expanding its strength by more than twofold. As for the neighboring Green Shade Kingdom, it could only be left alone for now. Once the situation stabilized, they would find a good opportunity to strike and destroy it.
Zhao Fu remained there for over another month, until the situation had completely stabilized. To his pleasant surprise, both nations had advanced to Level 1 Marquis Kingdoms.
Because they were national territories, they did not need to be cleared like wilderness regions; they only needed to be occupied directly.
Wolf Cang Kingdom had a total of 1,020 regions, 3,100 City Lords, a population of 1.4 billion, and somewhat insufficient military strength. The three half-werewolf nations had suffered severe losses during their war, leaving them with only over 30 million soldiers, and they were now urgently recruiting more.
Lelai Kingdom had a total of 1,080 regions, 3,230 City Lords,
