Because the residents of Jiutian City kept causing trouble in the great alliance, some of their behaviors were appalling, and now with the internet so developed, everyone has a magic card, able to see the related news, the general public was filled with anger towards Jiutian City, and the sentiment of hatred was noticeably growing.
However, Ma Lin knew that the most important thing at the moment was development. To strengthen oneself first before taking on the adversary.
Now that a certain number of residents had become collaborateurs, Ma Lin didn't bother with them. These collaborateurs became a buffer zone between Jiutian City and the great alliance, allowing the latter to better understand and influence Jiutian City.
If the collaborateurs committed crimes, our side would certainly punish them severely. Thus, the collaborateurs had also started conspiring with the opposition within the great alliance.
