Elder Julia explained her plan on how to handle the newly obtained territories.
The Hive could only send around twenty rank 4 cultivators in the new continent but, for what concerned those in the fifth rank, Elder Austin and Elder Julia had to be enough.
The Hive only had a handful of rank 5 cultivators, and having two of them in the piece of Immortal Lands was already its limit.
One elder at that level was needed to control the copying technique, and another one had to defend the conquered nation in the area of influence of the Empire.
The remaining one had to remain in the Coral archipelago too, in case something happened to the elder managing the copying formation.
Dividing its power between those three areas wasn't something that the Hive would do during normal circumstances.
Still, the pact sealed by the rulers of the four nations gave it some insurance, it would be up to Chasing Demon to decide how to handle the situation once he returned.
