The floodwaters gradually subsided, and the strength of Tang Country quickly began to recover. The troops that had been delayed and scattered across the regions were gradually being drawn out and reinforced in various directions.
The speed of this troop redeployment increased as roads were being repaired, and it became faster and faster: Great Tang was already the country with the best and most conscientious infrastructure in the world, and these facilities were now exerting their formidable power.
With extensive railway mileage and numerous well-maintained highways, the mobilization of Tang Country's troops was exceedingly convenient, and their assembly was all the more unexpected.
While assembling six divisions surreptitiously, Tang Country also sent two additional divisions to the plains of Chu Country, controlled by Strauss, and increased the troop strength by four divisions in the direction of Hidden Sword Gorge.
