After conquering Xiahao City, Xiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With this city, he could let the Divine Strategy Army resupply and recuperate.
He stayed in Xiahao City with his army.
He stationed fifty thousand troops inside the city and another two hundred thousand outside it.
Xiao Mo first gave the Divine Strategy Army time to rest and replenish its supplies.
After spending three days getting the troops back into shape, Xiao Mo held off on any other plans for the time being.
This was his first time gazing at the moon in a foreign land.
Although Xiao Mo had occupied Heaven's God Pass and Xiahao City,
the people of this exclave did not dare launch a campaign against him.
For a while, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Xiao Mo summoned the deputy commander of the Divine Strategy Army to discuss their next move.
"Our goal is to take complete control of this exclave."
"And make it our base of operations."
Xiao Mo said this to the deputy commander of the Divine Strategy Army.
"Your Majesty, King of Chu, there is essentially nothing wrong with your strategy."
"But if we want to take control of this exclave, we must occupy the other five key cities."
The deputy commander then pointed out the locations of five important, heavily populated cities on the map.
"Only by taking all five cities will we have a chance of controlling this exclave."
Xiahao City, where Xiao Mo currently stood, lay beyond Heaven's God Pass.
Xiao Mo would also develop this place into his base of operations.
This exclave sustained a population of over sixty million. If Xiao Mo could truly take control of it,
then he would no longer have to settle for merely being the King of Chu.
"What is your name?"
