Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 263 Stability and Harmony

Speaking of which, when Dai Yaochen led his troops all the way to the border of the Tiandou Empire, he saw the Tiandou Empire's army ready for battle. He did have the idea of ​​using the same old trick again and asking the other side to surrender, but Dai Yaochen's idea fell through.

When he attacked those kingdoms and principalities before, although he swept across them all the way, the scale was so large after all, so it still took him nearly ten days.

With nearly ten days, even if the Spirit Hall was slow, it had fully reacted. They had enough time to figure out the reason for their defeat. It was the defection of the 100,000 Tiandou troops in the coalition forces that led to this result.

Now that they have figured out the reason, the Spirit Hall will definitely not let this happen again. They quickly placed checks and balances on the generals in the army of the Tiandou Empire to ensure that even if the generals have the idea of ​​defecting, they will never be able to carry it out successfully. The Spirit Hall even controls those generals. After this operation, Dai Yaochen and his men have no chance of defecting.

The Tiandou army was on high alert at the border, and Dai Yaochen and his men were unable to convince the other side to surrender, so they had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​attacking the Tiandou Empire.

Although the Xing Luo Empire is a martial nation and has become somewhat radical after this great victory, Dai Yaochen and his high-level colleagues are still sober.

The battle has actually reached this point. If we continue to attack blindly, we might even collapse. Now we should digest the territories of the kingdoms and principalities that have been swallowed up.

Dai Yaochen and his men successfully wiped out all the kingdoms and duchies on the eastern front this time, and he also received news that the western route was also a great success and all the kingdoms and duchies were conquered. Now, all twenty kingdoms and duchies on the entire Douluo Continent were incorporated into the Xingluo Empire.

In fact, a single kingdom or duchy is certainly very different from an empire, but adding all the kingdoms and duchies together is basically the same as an empire.

Strictly speaking, excluding the settlements of soul beasts, the two empires each occupied one-third of the continent, and the twenty kingdoms and principalities together occupied the remaining one-third. In other words, after the Xing Luo Empire annexed all these kingdoms and principalities, it occupied two-thirds of the continent with its own strength.

There is also the Star Dou Great Forest. If the Star Dou Great Forest was previously the dividing line between the two empires, then now with the expansion of the territory of the Star Luo Empire, the entire Star Dou Great Forest has completely become a soul beast gathering place within the Star Luo Empire.

The Xing Luo Empire can be said to be unprecedented in expanding its territory to such an unprecedented level.

Of course, as the empire's territory expanded, a series of problems naturally arose. After all, this war directly doubled the territory of the Star Luo Empire, and it was obviously inevitable that various problems would arise. However, the Star Luo Empire was militarily strong after all, and in the current situation, it was still able to directly implement military control over the newly occupied territories, so all these problems were temporarily suppressed.

However, martial law is a measure that cannot be implemented for a long time. It can indeed achieve good results in a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will only cause bigger problems. Therefore, what the Xing Luo Empire has to do is to restore stability in the newly occupied territories as soon as possible and let the people of this land get used to the fact that they have become glorious Xing Luo people.

This kind of thing is neither simple nor difficult, but it is not that difficult either.

All of this newly occupied land belonged to the original kingdoms and duchies, and half of these kingdoms and duchies were originally vassal states of the Star Luo Empire and were canonized by the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, the people of these kingdoms and duchies naturally had a certain sense of identity with the Star Luo Empire, and under a series of operations by the Star Luo Empire, they quickly accepted the fact that they had become Star Luo people.

As for the other half, which were originally kingdoms and principalities enfeoffed by the Tiandou Empire, the situation was indeed a little more complicated, but not too troublesome.

After all, they were just citizens of those kingdoms and principalities. Although they had a sense of belonging to their own country, it was not as strong as that of the citizens of the empire. After their territory was incorporated into the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire took a series of measures to reduce the burden on the people. They basically felt that being a Star Luo person seemed to be a good thing.

Dai Yaochen and his colleagues do not have to worry too much about the people's sense of belonging, as there is a group of civil servants to solve it. Facts have also proved that the methods of these civil servants are indeed quite good. As for Dai Yaochen and his colleagues, the focus is still on dealing with the various unstable forces in the newly occupied territory.

The unstable forces mentioned here mainly refer to the Spirit Hall and those large and small sects.

Because those kingdoms and principalities have been on the side of the Spirit Hall for a long time, the Spirit Hall has developed very well in many kingdoms and principalities over the years. Although most of the forces belonging to the Spirit Hall either died or fled in the previous attack of the Star Luo Empire, some of them remained lurking, and would jump out from time to time to cause trouble and destroy stability and harmony. Therefore, what Dai Yaochen and his team had to do was to catch these unstable elements and kill them all.

Apart from the few remaining men in the Spirit Hall, the many spirit master forces in the newly occupied territories also needed to be clearly identified and treated differently.

Some sects and academies are extremely close to the Spirit Hall. These soul master forces need to be completely eliminated, and the representative of them is the Elephant Armor Sect.

Speaking of which, when the Star Luo Empire was clearing out the lackeys of the Spirit Hall, only three of the four lower sects were destroyed, and only the Elephant Armor Sect escaped because its sect's clan territory was not in the Star Luo Empire. However, now that the Star Luo Empire has expanded and annexed all the kingdoms and principalities, the Elephant Armor Sect finally fell into the territory of the Star Luo Empire and could not escape the fate of ultimate destruction.

In addition to the lackeys of the Spirit Hall, there are also very independent spirit master forces in the newly occupied territories of the Star Luo Empire. These sects or academies do not have much relationship with the Spirit Hall, and have even suffered suppression from the Spirit Hall to a certain extent. These are the targets that Dai Yaochen and his team need to fight for, and the representative among them is the Dragon Snake Sect.
