It was only a matter of days before the legal forces of the archipelago completely abandoned the islands, carrying their belongings and part of their resources with them.
The reinforcements from the continent had suffered many losses, the ships on the peripheral islands that had survived the attacks of the rank 5 creature were enough to carry all the cultivators to their respective nations.
As a place mostly filled by cultivators, the archipelago had many rank 1 cultivators who had been born on those islands and didn't join any organization during their lives, they remained in their birthplace since the ships from the continent didn't have enough room for them.
The underground organizations gladly took them in, what they needed the most other than time was to refill their human assets, they couldn't waste all those citizens now that they could rule out in the open.
