Chapter 318, Heijian Star Strategy_2
But even at this stage, it was only a matter of repelling one attack from the enemy, far from enough to make those kings submit.
They didn't have the guts to reassemble their troops and launch another large-scale attack on the Luman Kingdom, so they could only opt for an economic blockade and minor border harassments to continue their hostilities.
Of course, they certainly wouldn't be paying any Imperial Taxes to the Luman Kingdom now.
This was somewhat tricky for Gu Hang, but it was also within his expectations. With Nes Luman insisting on not giving up the governorship of Heijian Star, the reactions of the other nations there were predictable.
This matter was bound to end in war.
Gu Hang harbored aspirations to annex the entire Heijian Star, and the other kingdoms, not made of mud, would naturally resist.
This situation was less an accident than a result fostered by Gu Hang himself.
He had long been prepared for a war.
