Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Refugees Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Refugees After seizing the West Sea Prefecture, Wang Chen did not pursue further territorial expansion, seemingly content with the holdings of two prefectures.

He began to invest effort and resources in managing the West Sea Prefecture.

The West Sea Prefecture, as the largest of Great Liang, boasted vast territories, abundant resources, and a population several times that of Hanhai Prefecture, with a much better natural environment, lush with fertile lands.

However, limited by the population size and the vision of decision-makers, the true potential of this prefecture had never been fully tapped.

Now, Wang Chen considered the West Sea Prefecture as the foundation of his empire!

Due to Great Yan’s major setback at Hanhai Pass, there was no longer a possibility of their invading this formidable pass, so Wang Chen transferred 30,000 troops of the Hanhai Army into the West Sea.

Princess Qingyun’s carriage also returned to the prefectural city of the West Sea Prefecture.

As for the newly-formed Firearm guards, Wang Chen left only 3,000 troops in Hanhai City to aid the Hanhai Army in guarding the pass.

Also left behind were fifty City Defense Cannons.

As for Shangguan Wuji, Wang Chen had him temporarily stay at Hanhai Pass to prevent any sudden emergencies.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen himself prepared to fully exert his influence in the West Sea Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, an old acquaintance suddenly visited, disrupting his plans.

“Minister Wang, it’s been a long time.”
