Ma Lin's "three-pronged strategy" was particularly effective against lower-tier demons, hitting them right where it hurt, but it lacked appeal for higher-tier demons and even provoked their disdain.
However, consider this: Catfish City and the northeastern region of the Flying Vehicles Nation were now Ma Lin's territory, where the population of lower-tier demons was extremely dense.
Moreover, the Flying Vehicles Nation was plagued by regional discrimination, with the higher-tier demons in the south and west always ridiculing the residents of the northeastern region and the northern border as underclass.
Thus, Ma Lin's policies were especially effective in maintaining his rule.
He frequently used his "three-pronged strategy" to reform the occupied territories, and many residents who originally had some loyalty to the Flying Vehicles Nation's royal family were now beginning to lean toward Ma Lin.
