88 High morale (2/2)
It had nothing do with everyone being cruel humans who loved to see bloodshed, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions lose their lives.
No.
All it had to do with, was the greed that everyone felt.
What would happen when one kingdom conquered another kingdom?
Other than the obvious growth in the winning Kingdom's size, strength, and influence, it was the people who would benefit the most after the royal family, and the nobles.
Living in a stronger kingdom, brought not just the benefit of a higher income, but also increased the availability of rare and precious cultivation resources which were sought by everyone.

Rolling her eyes and tapping her nose, Linxin said, ”More like smelled him. I could see your nose twitching from a mile away.”
Showing Linxin her tongue, as if saying bite me, Zhenya pointed towards a certain spot, and asked Bai Long with glittering eyes.
”What does that array do, Master? I can sense a lot of Yin Qi surrounding it!”
