Junero's departure did not have much of an impact on Sui Xiong.
Although this "scholarly emperor" had not been the Orc Emperor for a long time, he had accumulated a lot of prestige. In addition, he did not die, but it was equivalent to the so-called "ascension". After he left, not only did the tea not cool down, but his prestige was even higher.
Under such circumstances, the next Orc Emperor, "Iron Teeth" Ilo, who succeeded him, completely followed Junero's various policies, with a strong sense of following the rules. As for those ambitious people hidden in the center of the Orc Empire, for the time being, they behaved themselves and did not want to stand out.
Everyone knew that this situation would not last for long. Emperor Ilo had his own understanding of governing a country, and would also have his own set of strategies. But no matter what, there was nothing bad about maintaining the present situation for the time being. Even if he wanted to stir up trouble, he should at least wait and see. After a period of time, he would probe the attitude of this new emperor.
The reactions of the surrounding countries were more or less the same, and they all temporarily quietened down.
Everyone knew that the Orcs were a warlike race, and the new emperor needed to use war and victory to establish his own authority. The current Orc Empire was like a steel plate covered with spikes. Whoever foolishly bumped into it would definitely have a problem with his head!
Although there was never a shortage of smart people and fools in this world, it was obviously impossible for a king to be a fool. Even Woods Igor, who had been ridiculed by Leon as a fool — his talent was mediocre, and he succeeded in usurping the throne with the help of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, and then the Church of the God of Aristocracy had to evacuate. He actually did not even find out why they helped him and why they left — in fact, at least he could be considered a moderate person, and at least he would not make such a retarded mistake.
However, the border of the Orc Empire was quiet, but it did not mean that all the countries on the Main Plane were really completely quiet.
Just a few days later, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs began to mobilize an army and issued an order to once again open up the Broken Cloud Mountains and seize rich mineral resources from the barbaric dwarfs.
Compared to Earth, the level of civilization in this world was indeed slightly worse. For example, when countries issued orders, they were often not as genteel as on Earth, and they were not as cunning. This order from the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs clearly stated that they wanted to seize silver, gold, and other precious mineral resources from the dwarfs. They did not have any intention of hiding it.
"Pioneering and forging ahead is the foundation of our Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. It is our basic national policy. All this time, we have been tirelessly marching into the forests and mountains, seizing the riches so that our country can grow and our people can live in peace and prosperity. Now, it was time to march towards the mountains! From today onwards, recruit warriors who are willing to join the expeditionary army and participate in the exploration of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range. They will be treated well! "
Sui Xiongsi slowly finished reading the notice. He sneered and said, "This is too blatant. Is the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs always so overbearing?"
"As a powerful country that constantly invades, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs has always been like this." "Whether it's the Kingdom of Eagle in the north, and now the Duchy of Griffon, the Kingdom of Blue Moon in the east, or the elves of the Ancient Forest in the southwest, they're all targets of their invasion. The Dwarf Kingdom in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range is the weakest of the surrounding forces, so of course they would target the Dwarf Kingdom. "
"You may not believe it, but the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs once planned to use the large-scale transmission array as a springboard to attack the Mifata Federation. Moreover, this wasn't just a plan. It was a real setup. If it weren't for the spies of the Mifata Federation who discovered this and sent the news back to the country, I'm afraid they would really invade the Federation through the transmission array … "
The higher-ups of the Republic of Northwest were stunned and could not believe their ears.
"Why don't I have any impression of this?" Leon asked curiously. "When did this happen?"
"Probably not long after the Void Mask amusement park was built," Eastbourne said. "At that time, His Majesty was laying transmission arrays all over the world. The Kingdom of Thousands of Springs got inspiration from this and came up with this plan."
Leon nodded slightly. "Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed their style."
"But how do you know?" Gerrard asked curiously. "If you can't say it, then forget it. I don't mean to get to the bottom of it."
Eastbourne smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't explain the reason. Anyway, this is indeed a secret. Even the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs and the Mifata Federation don't know about it. The reason why I know about this … is a secret. "
Sui Xiong looked at everyone's curious faces, but because of politeness, they did not dare to ask. He could not help but secretly laugh.
Eastbourne, of course, knew about this because the spy who sent the information back to the Mifata Federation was him.
This was the battle that made the ace spy, Wood, famous, and also the key turning point in the first half of his life, from prosperity to decline. This incident gave him great honor, but it also made his superiors very jealous of him. So not long after he recovered from his injuries, he was sent to the Republic of Northwest as an undercover agent, lurking for a long time.
At that time, even the Republic of Northwest had not been established yet …
Eastbourne probably also remembered these past events, and his mood was a little down. Although he hid it very well, in front of Leon, who was at the peak of the legendary level, this kind of hiding was meaningless. And Leon secretly hinted to everyone, so next, everyone simply talked about some funny things, trying to make him feel better.
Eastbourne was a very sharp person, and of course, he saw through everyone's thoughts at once. He looked at a group of big shots who could shake a region by stomping their feet and talking to each other, as if they were performing a comedy show, and could not help but laugh.
It was only at this moment that he deeply felt that his choice back then was not wrong. Compared to the Mifata Federation, the Republic of Northwest was more suitable as his home.
At the very least, there was more human touch here, and it made him feel more comfortable.
Just when everyone was almost chatting, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
"I can hear laughter coming from inside from afar. What happy things are you talking about?"
The person who walked in with the voice was a mage wearing magic glasses and a silver-white robe. His hair was already slightly white, but there was not a trace of wrinkle on his face. He looked like a mage in his twenties, but also like a mage in his forties or fifties.
Seeing him appear, the chief captain of the patrol team, Nice Parne, reacted the fastest. She jumped up at once and shouted happily, "Teacher?! You've come out of seclusion? "
This person was naturally Nice's teacher, the first president of the Wizards Guild in the Republic of Northwest, the chief mage of the Church of the Void Mask, and the former head of the mage team, Mage Satan.
