Clearing out trolls was a long-term process; after all, trolls had been inhabiting this vast region for who knows how long. The forest environment was far more complex than the desert.
Even now, Fang Jie hadn't fully eradicated opponents like the Desert Snake-men from the desert.
In the end, Li Mingshu and the others took the initiative to take over this task. "Let us handle this place, it'll be good training for the new recruits, and we can make use of those trolls."
Fang Jie gave it some thought and then agreed, "Fine, this place is yours, I'll be heading back first."
Leaving a large force in the place, Fang Jie only reclaimed some of it; after all, the headquarters needed a consistent influx of rush troops since upgrading the city would definitely trigger a massive war.
Fang Jie planned to wait a while, until the crops in the fields were harvested, and then he would pause for a bit.
