The World Announcement came one after another, and the whole world was in an uproar. Ouyang Shuo and his Shanhai City had once again shocked the whole world in such a simple and violent way. The world's number one lord was truly worthy of his name.
…
In the China region.
The moment the global announcement rang out, the players in the Chinese server were first shocked and astonished. Then, they felt a sense of pride in their country, as if they were truly proud of their country.
The forums were filled with jubilation, as if it was a festival, and all the major media outlets were scrambling to report the good news. Some players were still not satisfied with the posts on the forums, and they spontaneously held celebrations in the various King Cities.
For a moment, all the taverns and teahouses were full, and everyone was talking about the glory of the national war.
It was truly a national event.
Ouyang Shuo's popularity among the players of the China region instantly exploded. Even the favorability of the players of Shanhai City skyrocketed. Because of this, the Bank of the Four Seas' true path to glory was opened.
As the saying went, love the house, love the crow.
As the link between Shanhai City and the players, the Bank of the Four Seas naturally welcomed another round of popularity. Depositing money in the Bank of the Four Seas became popular and correct.
On that day, the Bank of the Four Seas absorbed ten million gold coins, making everyone envious.
The Bank of the Four Seas' position as the number one bank in the China region was completely established. No matter what tricks the Huitong Bank played, they would be defeated in the face of such a great power.
It was like this: a flower planted intentionally does not bloom, but a willow planted unintentionally grows.
When the big shots of the country received the news, they all had different expressions. Bai Hua and the other members of the Shanhai Alliance were naturally overjoyed and enjoyed the feast of the national war together.
The leader of the Malevolent Blood Mercenary Group, Bloody Romance, submitted an application to the Shanhai Alliance on the same day. Bloody Romance maintained a neutral position within the country, but he was extremely passionate about the national war.
From the name of the mercenary group, one could see Bloody Romance's temperament.
The Shanhai Alliance had no reason to reject the Malevolent Blood Mercenary Group's application. As a result, the League of Mountains and Seas – Guild Alliance became a giant among the guilds in the China region, and no one could shake its position anymore.
Coupled with the few guilds that Ouyang Shuo recommended before he left Shanhai City, the Shanhai Alliance's tentacles were spread all over the Nine King Cities, and there were no so-called blind spots.
Some people were happy, while others were sad.
For Di Chen, the fact that Shanhai City had become famous overseas was definitely not good news. This young man, who had matured day by day, was full of melancholy. "This person really causes trouble wherever he goes!"
It had to be said that Di Chen's tenacity was admirable. He hadn't given up yet.
As for Lord Chunshen's jealousy, Kill Ripper's gnashing of teeth, and Wolf Warrior's fascination, these were all normal reactions. On the other hand, when the ambitious Xiong Ba received the news, he laughed out loud, "As expected of a kindred spirit!"
…
Annan District.
In the world, the players of the Annan District had the most complicated feelings. They didn't expect that Shanhai City would destroy Star Nation, which was also a member of ASEAN, with a feint in Annan Province.
Rejoice, panic, fear, and even a hint of humiliation and contempt.
If Ouyang Shuo was present, he would probably say lightly, "You're thinking too much!"
In any case, Annan's fear and vigilance towards Shanhai City were naturally even greater. The Lord of Haifang City, Ruan Tianque, took the initiative to pull the ASEAN members together to discuss.
The focus of the discussion was how to deal with Shanhai City together.
"Shanhai City must not be allowed to exist in ASEAN. It must be expelled," Ruan Tianque said.
Other ASEAN members responded positively to Ruan Tianque's proposal. After all, everyone knew that once Shanhai City stepped into the Strait of Malacca, it would definitely be an unpleasant thing for ASEAN.
Forming an alliance and jointly conquering Shanhai City had become the consensus of ASEAN countries.
Of course, the one who had the most say in the specific battle was not Annan, but Johor. Because when the army of Shanhai City attacked Lion City, the reinforcements of Johor had already crossed the Strait of Johor and entered the territory of Star Nation.
They just didn't expect that Star Nation would fall so quickly.
Now, 50,000 Johor reinforcements were staying at the northern border of Star Nation, waiting for further instructions from home.
Among the ASEAN countries, only Johor and Java were in a position to attack Star Nation. At most, Chenla was included. The other countries were too far away from Star Nation.
Just like Annan, he could only move his lips. With the performance of their domestic warships, it would take more than 20 days to reach Star Nation. This was under the condition that everything went smoothly on the sea and there was no big storm.
As for the Mud Nation, it was also very close, but its status was not as good as Star Nation. It was not worth mentioning.
In the end, the alliance agreed that Johor and Java would jointly send troops to attack and occupy Shanhai City of Star Nation. At the same time, Chenla, as a reserve force, was ready to go at any time.
The other countries provided a sizable amount of military expenses for the conquests to show that they shared the responsibility.
In the view of the members, even if Shanhai City's ocean fleet attacked Star Nation, it would suffer heavy casualties. The coalition forces composed of Johor and Java were naturally easy to capture.
At the same time, Ruan Tianque also represented Annan and took the initiative to accept the task of intercepting the reinforcement fleet of Shanhai City in the North Bay. Luzon, near the Spratly Islands, also acted together with Annan District.
In order to contain the rise of Shanhai City in the Strait of Malacca, the ASEAN countries couldn't be said to not pay attention. Unfortunately, they knew little about the setting of the war, so they underestimated Shanhai City strategically and were destined to fail.
…
Only China and the ASEAN countries paid close attention to this war. The other Asian countries only expressed surprise when they heard the news.
At most, some of the ambitious people in Japan would be more eager in the face of Shanhai City's pressure. After all, it was only the third year of Gaia, and there were very few who could take the initiative to provoke a war.
The war was far from the mainstream in the wilderness.
As for the Americas, Europe, and Africa, it was even more so. Those who knew about Shanhai City were just amazed. Those who didn't know would just watch the show.
In fact, many players couldn't even connect Star Nation with the geography of the real world.
"Where is Star Nation?" This was the question in the minds of some players.
Even if a large-scale war broke out in the future, it would be extremely rare to see a war that crossed continents. Therefore, there was a possibility of cooperation between the lords of different continents, in addition to fighting for some reputation.
Of course, no matter what, Shanhai City could be considered to have made a big appearance on a global scale. It was unknown whether it was good or bad for Shanhai City's ocean fleet.
After all, no country wanted to deal with a fleet that was too aggressive.
…
Star Nation, palace.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to care about the clamor of the outside world. He seized the time to deal with the post-war affairs. A series of system notifications rang in his ears, guiding him to complete the post-war arrangements.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Nothing to Wear for leading troops to conquer Star Nation. Please choose how to deal with Star Nation. Destroy, occupy, or transfer?"
"What do you mean by destroy?"
Ouyang Shuo only knew that the bandit camps could be destroyed to recover building materials and blueprints. The problem was, this was a country. Could it be destroyed?
"System notification: Once a fallen country is destroyed, it will become a wilderness without a master. The cities in the country will disappear, the bandits will run rampant, and the people will become refugees again. It will become a lawless zone. "
"…"
Ouyang Shuo sweated. How much hatred did one have for a country to choose the option [Destroy]? It was a classic case of harming others without benefiting oneself.
"I choose to occupy!"
"System notification: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Nothing to Wear for occupying Star Nation. Star Nation is officially under the rule of Shanhai Territory. Player can replan Star Nation. Do you want to rename it? "
"Name it Star State County."
Ouyang Shuo had long made up his mind to turn Star Nation into a county under his territory. The newly established Star State County was the smallest among all the counties in the territory. It wasn't even comparable to a prefecture. Even so, due to its unique strategic location, Star State County would play an extremely important role in the territory in the future.
"System notification: Star State County has been successfully named. Do you want to rename Lion City and Fengshan County?"
"No!"
Changing the county's name was only to facilitate the territory's management. It was also a way to draw a clear line with Star Nation. As for the cities' names, they could continue to be used. Changing it with great fanfare would make them seem petty.
"System notification: Star State County's planning is complete. The main city, Lion City, will be officially opened with the international teleportation array. Friendly reminder: Lion City's international teleportation array can only be connected to the teleportation array in the territory. It cannot be directly connected to the teleportation array in the Royal City of China or other territories. "
The only use of the international teleportation array was probably to charge an additional teleportation fee. Of course, for the people in Shanhai City, there was no such concern.
Ouyang Shuo smiled when he heard this. He had the confidence to completely conquer Star State County. His biggest trump card was Gaia's setting of the international teleportation array.
With this teleportation array, be it the army of Shanhai City or the adventurer players of the China region, they could directly teleport to Star State County through the teleportation array in Shanhai City, Cliff State City, or even Zhenhai City.
With this, Star State County could be as stable as Mount Tai. Otherwise, how could they deal with the provocations of the ASEAN countries with their crippled fleet?!
Star Nation was the first country to be destroyed. The other players didn't know this setting at all. They still thought that the occupation of Star Nation was like an occupied territory, and the teleportation array would be rendered useless.
Only by opening the international teleportation array could Ouyang Shuo truly complete the occupation of Star Nation. He immediately used the teleportation array and spent 70,000 gold coins to transfer the fully staffed Imperial Guard Corps to Lion City.
The newly formed city guard corps had already been transferred to Hardstone City. The only military force in Shanhai City was the Imperial Guard Corps. When the Imperial Guard Corps arrived at Lion City, Shanhai City became a defenseless city.
Even so, no one dared to attack Shanhai City.
