The Ma experts felt that they couldn't advance or retreat. For a while, they didn't know what to do. But the problem was that they didn't have much time to think of a solution. The soldiers outside were already making a ruckus. Their provisions were all burned. Even their next meal was a problem, not to mention anything else.
It can be said that Zhao Hai didn't give them any time to think about how to deal with this situation. In the eyes of the ordinary Ma soldiers, these experts were the culprits that made them fall into this situation. If these people didn't appear, then they would've already returned home to live a good life. But these people appeared and didn't let them surrender. Moreover, they wanted them to die with them. Most importantly, they didn't even have anything to eat.
In the eyes of the ordinary soldiers, if these flying fellows really couldn't survive, then they would just pat their butts and leave them here to die. Wasn't this just cheating them? Even if they were Ma people, they still couldn't cheat them like this. They were even more hateful than the Dragon Race.
It was precisely because of this idea, coupled with the fact that there was no water or food in the camp, that the entire camp was in despair. And in this mood of despair, the previous idea was infinitely magnified. The entire camp was now in complete chaos.
In the end, the experts discovered that they had no way to suppress the ordinary soldiers. They could only take a risk and rush out. The result was just as they had expected. Under the pursuit of those large mystic tools, rushing out was no different from courting death. Not to mention that there were only a few Breaking River Tier experts among them. The rest were all Sky Dance Tier experts.
Just as the minds of the experts in the camp were shaken, some people suddenly came to the camp. This time, the Ma experts who surrendered to Zhao Hai in the Ant Kingdom didn't come to persuade them to surrender. Persuasion was the main point. But these Ma experts weren't persuading them to surrender. Instead, they came to deliver a message. The Ma experts delivered a message that if they didn't surrender, then after today, they wouldn't accept any more surrenders. In other words, after today, even if they wanted to surrender, they wouldn't be able to do so.
Although these words were said impolitely, but it was also the last straw that broke the camel's back. Those experts saw that there was no hope to escape, and there was no hope to counterattack. In the end, they could only surrender.
As soon as these experts surrendered, their cultivations were immediately sealed and sent to Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai didn't immediately turn them into his slaves. Instead, he directly locked them up.
As for the ordinary soldiers, they naturally surrendered as well. Without the experts suppressing them, they wouldn't fight to the death. Speaking of which, in the Alien Continent, there were a lot of cases of countries being destroyed. But even if a country was destroyed, there would still be a place left to keep its name. And since Zhao Hai and the others said that they would become people of the Dragon Nation after surrendering, they wouldn't be considered inferior. Naturally, these people didn't feel any psychological burden when they surrendered.
In the past, when Zhao Hai was a country, these people would have resisted. But now, it seems that they didn't. This was also thanks to his identity as the Dragon Nation's ruler. This identity made it easier for the people here to accept him.
In fact, there was another reason why the Malaysians surrendered so smoothly. After all, Zhao Hai and the others were Human, not destroyers. If they were destroyers, then these people would certainly go all out. But they wouldn't do the same for a Human. Destroyers wanted to kill everyone, but Humans wouldn't kill everyone. Even if they were inferior, they would still be able to live. As long as they could live, many people were willing to live.
After the surrender of the barracks, all the soldiers in the barracks were reorganized. If they wanted to stay, then they would become soldiers of the Dragon Nation. If they didn't want to stay, then they would be sent back home. Moreover, they would also be given some severance pay.
On the other hand, there were a lot of Malaysians who stayed. These people were people who wanted to make a name for themselves. Moreover, they also saw that the Dragon Nation's soldiers were living a good life. They had big ships to sit on, and even if they didn't have big ships, they still had small boats to sit on. In the future, they wouldn't need to charge at the frontlines. Such a good thing was hard to find. Therefore, they might as well stay as soldiers. Maybe in the future, they would be able to get some military merit and become a small official.
The barracks outside the Galloping Horse Nation was just a small part of the Ma Nation's barracks. Zhao Hai used this method to make the barracks surrender in a short time.
Not only did the Ma Nation's soldiers surrender, the Ma Nation's King was also found. This King wasn't a tough bone, he actually ran out and surrendered. He even sold the families of the Ma Nation's high-ranking officials who had been hiding.
At this time, some of the Ma Nation's high-ranking officials who wanted to resist immediately gave up and surrendered. The entire Dragon Nation had been pacified.
Although the time was short, it wasn't short at all. When Zhao Hai pacified the Ma Nation, it took him six months, almost half a year.
Normally, conquering a nation in half a year wasn't slow. However, compared to conquering the Ant Nation, it was a lot slower. However, the result was still satisfactory.
After conquering the Ma Nation, Zhao Hai didn't immediately attack other nations. Instead, he began to manage the territory. First of all, Zhao Hai still appointed the Ma Nation's King as the Ma State's Governor. There was also a parliament and councilors under him. Naturally, the Ma Nation's military power must be handed over.
This result was completely unexpected to the Ma Nation's King. He thought that after surrendering, he would be able to keep his life and ensure the safety of his family. At most, he would be able to become a rich man. He didn't expect that Zhao Hai would still let him govern the Ma Nation. Although his current power had shrunk a lot compared to before, this made the Ma Nation's King very happy. He didn't expect that Zhao Hai would actually keep his word and let him govern the Ma Nation.
What made the Ma Nation's King the happiest was that not only could he govern the Ma Nation, but he could also inherit the position. This was what the Ma Nation's King valued the most. As for the Ma Nation's King who rebelled against Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai didn't blame them. Instead, he comforted them and even gave them some positions in the parliament.
If it could be said that everyone was happy, then the carriages calmed down in the shortest time possible. Then, the Ma Nation's King naturally didn't have any objections. He was very clear that he had already surrendered. Naturally, he would have to follow Zhao Hai's rules. He couldn't raise any objections just because Zhao Hai didn't blame them. Otherwise, he would be asking for trouble.
It wasn't just the Ma Nation, the Dragon Nation and the Ant Nation had also begun to undergo reforms. The places that were difficult to change before were all changed this time.
This time, the reforms had been carried out for about six months. The three nations were roughly on the right track. Although there were still many places that were different from the Lost Soul Empire, Zhao Hai was also very clear that it was impossible for the Alien Continent to be the same as the Lost Soul Empire. After all, the situation in each place was different. Therefore, it was reasonable for the Ma Nation to have some special situations.
Zhao Hai even gave the states the right to have some laws that were different from the other states. This depended on the state's situation.
In this way, the state's independence was greater. But no matter how independent the states were, the army was still under Zhao Hai's control. Although the Dragon Nation, the Ant Nation, and the Ma Nation had some generals in the army, their status in the army wasn't very high. Moreover, the armies of the three nations were all in chaos and were being reorganized. Therefore, the military power had always been in Zhao Hai's hands. Although the power of the Governors wasn't small, they still had to obey Zhao Hai's leadership. Otherwise, it would be considered treason.
Zhao Hai certainly knew that it was impossible for him to give these people complete independence. Not to mention whether they would betray him or not, he was afraid that they would be scared.
These people all surrendered to Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai gave them too much power, then they would have doubts. They would think that Zhao Hai wanted to deal with them. This would be detrimental to winning the hearts of the people.
Zhao Hai wanted to delegate his authority, but he also needed to look at the right time. If he were to delegate his authority to these people before they fully accepted the Lost Soul Empire's governance, then the three countries would fall into chaos.
At this time, the situation of the three nations was basically stable. Zhao Hai and the others have been in the Stranger Continent for more than a year. During this time, Zhao Hai also received a letter from Xia Yu. The letter explained the situation of the Sword Spirit Realm. The Sword Spirit Realm was very stable. There were no major conflicts between the various sects. Although there were some minor conflicts, they were all under control. In other words, the Evil Spirit Sect would be fine.
For Zhao Hai and the others, this wasn't good news. The Evil Ghost Sect didn't have any enemies in the Sword Spirit Realm. Then would they make a move against the Lost Soul Empire? And if they did, then what would the situation be? This made Zhao Hai somewhat worried.
However, Zhao Hai also thought about it. With their current strength, even if the Evil Spirit Sect went to the Spirit Weapon Realm, their strength would still be suppressed. As long as the Nine Cauldron Great Formation was guarding the Spirit Weapon Realm, there wouldn't be any problems. Now that the Spirit Weapon Realm had the support of the Secret Realm, there wouldn't be any problems.
In the past, the Nine Cauldron Continent was enough to block the Evil Spirit Sect's attack. Now that they have the support of the Secret Realm's twelve formations, there wouldn't be any problems.
Zhao Hai used formations to connect the twelve formations of the Secret Realm with the nine formations of the Spirit Weapon Realm. When the formations of the Spirit Weapon Realm are attacked, they can attack the formations and transfer part of the attack to the twelve formations of the Secret Realm. At the same time, the energy of the twelve formations can also be transferred to the nine formations. In this way, Zhao Hai was using the power of 21 formations to support the nine formations. Naturally, the power of the nine formations would be even more formidable. It wouldn't be easy for the Evil Spirit Sect to attack these formations.
What gave Zhao Hai a headache was what to do about the Alien Continent. Zhao Hai wanted to make similar changes to the Alien Continent. This way, when the Destroyers arrive, the Alien Continent would be safe. Zhao Hai's plan was to make similar changes to the Alien Continent.
Zhao Hai knew that when the Destroyers appear, they would use the power of destruction. And if they don't use formations, then ordinary people wouldn't be able to block it. In this case, the best way to reduce the casualties of ordinary people was to use formations.
The situation of the Expert Continent was different from the Spirit Weapon Realm. Although there were occasional wars in the Expert Continent, the scale of these wars wasn't very big. Moreover, it wasn't like the Spirit Weapon Realm, where there were years of war. This caused the population of the Expert Continent to be much higher than the Spirit Weapon Realm.
With more people, if they want to build a mountain city, they would need to build it bigger. Moreover, the people of the Expert Continent had a special attachment to their land. If they were forced to move and live a life of collectivism, then they wouldn't be able to get used to it. At that time, it would be very troublesome.
However, there was no need to be too anxious about this matter. It wouldn't be too late to worry about it after they unify the Expert Continent. If they really can't do it, then they can only build formations in the cities. However, this would consume a lot of resources.
A year and two months after Zhao Hai and the others arrived in the Expert Continent, Zhao Hai finally decided to send troops to the outside world. The reason why he felt that the time was right was because the Spirit Weapon Realm had finished building a new batch of large artifacts. At the same time, Zhao Hai also transferred 5000 large artifacts from the Lost Soul Empire to the Expert Continent. Now, the number of large artifacts in their hands had reached 10,000.
In addition to the large artifacts, the army that Zhao Hai and the others had trained in the Alien Continent had also been completed. In the Alien Continent alone, there were now several million soldiers. These people can now drive large artifacts as well as use the weapons and equipment of the Lost Soul Empire. They can now officially enter the battlefield.
In addition to the bountiful harvest in the three continents, Zhao Hai can be said to have a strong army. He has people, weapons, and provisions. In this case, if he didn't send troops to the other countries, then it would be because he was lazy. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He immediately began to prepare for the attack.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't hide the situation from the other countries. He was telling them that he was ready to make a move. If they don't surrender, then he wouldn't be polite. While Zhao Hai was preparing for the war, he also sent troops to the other countries to persuade them to surrender. He wanted them to surrender unconditionally.
The other countries were very polite to the people Zhao Hai sent to persuade them to surrender. Although they didn't surrender, they didn't try to kill them either.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't deceived by their tricks. Although the Monarchs of the other countries were very polite to the people they sent, they still didn't surrender. Moreover, the other countries were truly united this time. All kinds of materials were prepared, their armies were also ready for war.
