The Southwest State is adjacent to the sea!
Although it's located in a corner bordering the Beast Mountains, its overall area is massive, even larger than Dawu, and due to its coastal location, it can gather many resources that are not found on the mainland.
Therefore, there are many powerful figures here.
Through Zhao Jing's words, Chu Yuan learned that the Southwest State has a population of about one billion, which is incredibly large.
"No need to retreat for now. The Southwest State has a large population and is rich in resources. It's an area that other imperial dynasties have not developed much yet. If our empire conquers it, not only will our territory and population greatly expand, but we will also obtain a vast and resource-rich land," said Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan ordered, "Loyal and Brave Marquis, go in my name and summon all the clans here to see me."
