Notification after notification sounded, causing an uproar around the world. Ouyang Shuo and his Shanhai City had once again used a simple and violent method to shock the world. The world's best Lord was truly worthy of his name.
...
China region.
The moment the world notification sounded, the China players were first filled with shock and astonishment, followed by a sense of pride.
The forums were sent into overdrive, like it was the lunar new year, as media groups fought to report this good news. Writing on the forums was not enough, and some even paraded and celebrated on the streets.
All of a sudden, hotels, restaurants, and tea houses, became filled, and everyone talked about the glory of the country war.
It was truly a massive occasion for the country.
Ouyang Shuo's popularity in China instantly boomed, which also increased the good feeling the players felt toward Shanhai City. Hence, this truly opened the path to glory for the Four Seas Bank.
As they say, if you love someone, you would love everything about and related to them.
The Four Seas Bank was something that connected Shanhai City to the players. Naturally, there was a new wave of people that decided to store their money in the bank, starting a sort of a trend.
That day, the Four Seas Bank attracted ten million in savings, drawing the envious eyes of everyone around.
The position of the Four Seas Bank as the biggest bank in China was completely solidified. No matter what the Huitong Bank tried to do, whatever schemes they tried, they would face defeat in the face of such overwhelming power.
It was the case of the flower not blooming when you paid attention to it, but blooming when you did not care.
The old people within the country all had various expressions. Bai Hua and the other members of the Shanhai Alliance were naturally delighted, and they enjoyed the celebrations of this country war.
On the same day, the guild leader of the Blood Evil Mercenary Guild, Blood Romance, sent an ally request. Although Blood Romance wanted to maintain neutral within the country, he was extremely passionate toward the country wars.
From the name of his mercenary guild, one could see his passion.
Naturally, the Shanhai Alliance had no reason to reject the addition of the Blood Evil Mercenary Guild. With that, the Shanhai Alliance-Guild Alliance had completely transformed into a powerhouse amongst the guild alliances in the China region, reaching an unassailable position.
Along with the few guilds that Ouyang Shuo had recommended before he left, Shanhai Alliance's influence had spread throughout the nine imperial cities, and there were no more dead corners.
Some people were happy, while others felt worried.
To Di Chen, Shanhai City spreading its reach overseas could not be considered a good matter. This aristocrat, who was maturing by the day, felt extremely depressed, This guy, he really can cause problems everywhere he goes!
One had to say, Di Chen's determination truly deserved admiration, as he still had not given up.
As for Chun Shenjun's jealousy, Sha Pojun's gritting his teeth, and Zhan Lang feeling charmed, these were all normal reactions. However, when Xiong Ba received the news, he laughed and said, ”As expected from a guy in the same field!”
...
Annan Region.
In the entire world, the ones currently with the most complicated emotions were naturally the Annan Region players. They had never expected Shanhai City to play around them. In the end, Shanhai City even destroyed Singapore, which also belonged to the ASEAN.
Fortune, fear, anxiousness, and even a sense of humiliation from being looked down on.
No matter what, Annan had grown more fearful and warier of Shanhai City. The Lord of Haiphong City, Ruan Tianque, proactively pulled strings to drag the other members of the ASEAN for a meeting.
The main point of the meeting was naturally how to deal with Shanhai City.
”The ASEAN region definitely cannot allow Shanhai City to exist. We must just chase them out.”
The other members of the ASEAN also supported Ruan Tianque's suggestion. After all, everyone was clear that the moment Shanhai City took control of the Malacca Straits, it would be bad news for all of them.
Building an alliance army, with attacking Shanhai City as their goal.
Of course, the one who held the most power in ASEAN was not Annan but Johor. That was because when Shanhai City took down Lion City, the Johor reinforcements had just passed the Johor Straits and entered Singapore territory.
They did not expect Singapore to fall so fast.
Now, the fifty thousand Johor troops waited north of Singapore, as they awaited further orders.
Amongst the ASEAN, only Johor and Java had the ability to attack Singapore. The other countries were too far away.
Like Annan, they could only open their mouths. With their warships, they would take more than twenty days to reach Singapore. This was also under the condition that the sea was smooth, and they did not meet any storms.
As for Brunei, it was near, but its position could not be compared to Singapore, so it did not need to be mentioned.
