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.

In the end, the alliance decided for Johor and Java to send troops to attack Singapore. At the same time, Zhenla would act as reserve forces and get ready to set off.

The other countries would provide military funds to show that they were taking responsibility for this matter too.

To the various members, even if Shanhai City had managed to take down Singapore, they would have suffered heavy casualties. With an alliance army formed from Johor and Java troops, this was naturally going to be an easy matter to handle.

At the same time, Ruan Tianque represented Annan to take up the mission of stopping reinforcements from Beihai Bay. Along with the Annan Region was also Luzon, which was near the Spratly Islands.

To stop the rise of Shanhai City in the Malacca Straits, the ASEAN had to take them seriously. Unfortunately, they had little knowledge of country wars, and they had even strategically underestimated Shanhai City. Consequently, they were destined to fail.

……

The ones who truly paid attention to this country war was just China and ASEAN. As for the other Asian countries, they were only shocked.

At most, some of the players in Japan started to feel worried about the strength of Shanhai City. After all, it was only the 3rd year of Gaia, and there were very little people who could start a country war.

A country war was far from being normal in the wilderness.

As for America, Europe, and Africa, it was more so. Those who knew about Shanhai City were astonished, while those who did not just looked on for fun.

Many players could not even place Singapore on the map.

"Where is Singapore?" This question lingered in the minds of players.

Even if large-scale country wars explode in the future, cross continent wars would still be extremely rare. Hence, the Lords who manage to cross continents would not only achieve fame, they could also cooperate and work with others.

Of course, no matter what, Shanhai City had showed their strength to the world. Who knows whether this would be a good or bad thing for the voyage squadron.

After all, no country would be willing to work and cooperate with an invasive squadron.

……

Singapore, imperial palace.

Ouyang Shuo did not bother about the noise outside. Instead, he took the time to settle post war matters. A flurry of notifications sounded in his ears to guide him in completing the matters.

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for occupying Singapore, please choose the method of handling. Do you wish to destroy, occupy, or let go of control?"

"What is the meaning of destroy?"

Ouyang Shuo only knew that raider camps could be destroyed to take back some building resources and blueprints. However, this was a country, could it truly be destroyed?

"System Notification: When destroyed, a fallen country will become a lordless wilderness. The cities would disappear while raiders will roam, and residents will become refugees."

"...."

How much must one hate a country to choose the destroy option? It was a typical case of harming others without benefiting.

"I choose to occupy!"

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for occupying Singapore, Singapore is officially under Shanhai City’s rule. Player can rename Singapore, will you chose to do so?"

"Name it Xingzhou Prefecture."

Ouyang Shuo had planned to make Singapore a prefecture under his rule. The newly set up Xingzhou Prefecture would be the smallest in the territory, smaller than even a House. Even so, because of its special strategic location, the future Xingzhou Prefecture would play a crucial role.

"System Notification: Xingzhou Prefecture successfully renamed, will you rename Lion City and Fengshan County?"

"No!"

Changing the prefecture name was to draw a clear line with Singapore. As for the name of the city, to change it would be a needless act.

"System Notification: Xingzhou Prefecture planning completed, officially opening Lion City cross-country teleportation formation. Friendly Reminder: Lion City cross-country teleportation formation can only connect to teleportation formations within the territory and not to the imperial cities in China or other territories."

The restrictions on the cross-country teleportation formation was only to collect more teleportation fee. Of course, Shanhai City did not need to worry about this aspect.

When Ouyang Shuo heard this notification, he laughed. He was confident in stabilizing his rule of Xingzhou Prefecture because of this cross-country teleportation formation.

With this, be in the troops in Shanhai City or the adventure gamemode players of China, they could all teleport over from Shanhai City, Yashan City, or even Zhenhai City.

With that, Xingzhou Prefecture was completely safe. If not, how could the heavily injured voyage squad keep up against the ASEAN?

Singapore was the first country to be destroyed, so the other players would not be sure of the settings. They still thought that a country being occupied was the same as a territory being occupied; they thought that the teleportation formations would fail.

After opening this cross-country teleportation formation, Ouyang Shuo finally completed his occupation of Singapore. Right away, he spent seventy thousand gold to bring in the full-scaled Guards Legion Corps over.

The newly formed city protection legion was moved over to Stone City. The only power within Shanhai City was the Guards Legion Corps. As such, moving them to Lion City meant that Shanhai City would become a defenseless territory.

Even so, no one would dare to try anything funny on Shanhai City.
