Chapter 461: Hardcore! Flight Ship Production Line!

Houdun Kingdom's stabilization was faster than Meng Ying had imagined.

As soon as the second land-reclamation decree was issued, the commoners of Houdun Kingdom went wild—even when they saw the orc armies, they lined the roads to welcome them!

The nobles were also stabilized at the fastest possible speed.

These nobles, as long as their own interests weren't harmed, didn't care which god they worshipped.

Of course, the main reason they settled down so quickly was that Houdun Kingdom had lost the ability to fight any further.

Their god had been defeated, their million-man army had surrendered; now they couldn't even arm a few hundred men.

Armor isn't infinite.

The armor for these noble-led armies had all been prepared long ago; each suit was extremely expensive, and even great nobles didn't stockpile many.

Even if they did arm them, what good would it do?

Strength is always the hard truth.

But there was still a great deal of work ahead.

First, rebuild the church!

The entire upper echelon of the original church had been purged clean.

The lower ranks of the church would be treated the same way: demoted to commoners, eligible for land reclamation.

The new church drew large numbers of personnel from Xiling Kingdom; the garrison now stationed in Houdun Kingdom was also transferred from Xiling Kingdom.

Two hundred thousand orc warriors were stationed within Houdun Kingdom's borders and would not leave until Houdun Kingdom was fully stabilized.

Before Houdun Kingdom was fully stabilized, it would have no army of its own.

This was inevitable; Houdun Kingdom was not like Xiling Kingdom, so its treatment naturally differed.

Second, Houdun Kingdom's royal family no longer existed, so Houdun Kingdom would be annexed into Xiling Kingdom, with Luo Ying serving as queen of both kingdoms.

This was a temporary measure.

Soon after, when Hunhe Duchy was captured, the two would unite into a small empire!

In short, work needed to be done on every front.
