Although Tianwei Province had a formidable army of a hundred thousand, they did not dare to make a move against Ma Lin.
They feared defeat.
King Peng Peng was now extraordinarily anxious and had long lost his patience.
When the generals are incompetent, the entire army suffers.
With King Peng Peng as such a ruler, the combat effectiveness of these Southern forces was truly pitiable—they could only defend and dared not launch an offensive.
In fact, they had sent small units to attack the towns of Tianwei Province several times, only to encounter the problem of a 'people's war.'
A general had personally led his troops to hijack Ma Lin's food supplies, only to be roundly defeated by the militia, becoming a laughingstock. After that, their courage shriveled even further.
Thus, Ma Lin was able to develop his base with great care.
This situation was something no one in Feiche Country had anticipated.
