Trillions of Population

Three months passed.

In the castle, Maximus was reviewing reports on the progress of conquering the Sun Sea region.

With the ongoing sea beast tide, various places in the Sun Sea region should be devastated.

However, with Johnson's strategy and the use of puppets, they saved these places like a ray of light.

This tactic won people effortlessly, leading them to swear loyalty to the Moonlight Empire without a word of complaint.

Swearing allegiance to the Moonlight Empire was the most crucial part.

Swearing willingly led to a pure amalgamation of will, while swearing under oppression bred a corrupt amalgamation of will.

Thus, emperors rarely conquered territory by force.

Usually, it was through enticement and benefits.

By now, more than half of the Sun Sea region had become Maximus's territory.

The Moonlight Empire already had trillions of people in its midst.
