Chapter 373: The Empire

As the Hutton Kingdom's army retreated, the Hiling Kingdom began a major reorganization!

The Hiling Kingdom had just been conquered, and its people were unsettled, so Meng Ying did not press forward.

Moreover, this was also Lin Yan's guidance.

The god of the Hutton Kingdom was considerably stronger than the god of the Hiling Kingdom and possessed far more methods.

But the god of the Hutton Kingdom resides in the Heavenly Realm; when it descends power, Lin Yan may not fear it.

Still, there was no need to rush forward for now, because Lin Yan was about to enter the Abyss.

Meng Ying's recent show of strength likely shocked the Hutton Kingdom's god, and soon enough, the Hutton Kingdom will find ways to send down more Holy Spirits.

These Holy Spirits are all excellent Supplements for magicians.

Combined with these factors, Lin Yan told Meng Ying and the others to proceed slowly.

Immediately after, the people of the Hiling Kingdom began clearing the battlefield.

Princess Luo Ying dispatched several units to garrison the southern highlands of the Hutton Kingdom—this highland region now belonged to the Hiling Kingdom.

This highland region produced little, and its military significance outweighed its economic value.

Warriors conscripted from the nobility were gradually disbanded.

These warriors had little combat effectiveness; keeping them would be a massive burden.

The royal army remained intact, still fiercely loyal to the king.

Next, the influence of the church was purged entirely throughout the Hiling Kingdom.

Some devout archbishops were purged; ordinary church members were all demoted to commoners, with their future treatment to be determined by their later devotion to the Flame Lord.

Then, Princess Luo Ying announced the relocation of the capital, selecting a flat region at the intersection of the eastern and central territories to build a new Wang Cheng.

This new Wang Cheng would be constructed according to the philosophy of the City of Divine Miracles!

The entire Hiling Kingdom had been utterly transformed by this battle.

New temples were being built everywhere, and new churches were forming—but these new churches were completely different from the old ones.

They were no longer bloated, and their operational efficiency was immeasurably higher!

The great army of Yan Kingdom still garrisoned the Border of the Spirit Kingdom.

The threat from the Hutton Kingdom had not been eliminated.

The Hiling Kingdom now needed them to hold the line!

Meng Ying was also waiting for the right moment to attack the Hutton Kingdom.

Inside a new temple in the Hiling Kingdom, Lin Yan's several Holy Maidens sat together.

"The northern part of the Hiling Kingdom, and part of its northwestern territories, belong to the Hutton Kingdom."

Princess Luo Ying pointed to a map.

Meng Ying nodded slightly, gazing at the map.

The map showed the surrounding situation of the Hiling Kingdom.

"The southern and southwestern parts of the Hiling Kingdom are the Hunhe Duchy."

Princess Luo Ying added.

From the map, the Hiling Kingdom was surrounded by the Hutton Kingdom, the Hunhe Duchy, and Yan Kingdom to the east!

"What lies farther west?"
