Chapter 829 - Karma Coming Too Quick Like a Tornado

Di Chen and the others did not stay in King City for long before they returned to their own territories.

The changes in Minnan Province had caught Di Chen and the others off guard. The Yanhuang Alliance was originally having a turn for the good with the help of a Silver Hand, but now they were shaky once more.

Their future was dim.

After seizing Minnan Province, Shanhai City's land area was the same as the entire Yanhuang Alliance, and they were terrifyingly strong.

Compared to the European states, Shanhai City was three to four of them.

No matter how Silver Hand continued to fund them, Di Chen and the others could not see a way for them to win against Shanhai City on their own. As for making foreign members attack Shanhai City, such a move was impossible at the moment.

Not to mention the long distance, a cross country war would have many the technological difficulties. The academic faction that had not struck out was also a worry for Silver Hand.

This was only the 4th year of Gaia and the academic faction would not allow Silver Hand to break the game ecosystem. If Silver Hand messed around like that, how would they be able to fight future country wars?

Apart from that, Silver Hand needed to consider the reactions of the gra.s.sroots Lords. If they helped the Yanhuang Alliance so openly, what would the domestic players think?

Moreover, they might not succeed in attacking Shanhai City while their bases might get attacked.

Hence, within a short time, Silver Hand would not face off against Shanhai City. If they were to fight, it would be against Shanhai City's overseas bases and not their Chinese territory.

Taking a step back, even if they had overseas allies come over to aid them, what would happen to the Yanhuang Alliance? Not to mention how they would not be able to raise their heads in Silver Hand, but they would also be named as traitors.

Using the country war rules, Shanhai Alliance could use the powers within the country to fight against the invaders. They could force Yanhuang Alliance into a corner and down their own graves.

Even if Silver Hand was able to deal a blow to Shanhai City, both sides would suffer immense losses.

Putting it another way, Silver Hand was unable to threaten Shanhai City in China while Shanhai City was unable to threaten members of Silver Hand outside of China.

The two of them were still in a balance.

Hence, no matter what, be it Silver Hand or Di Chen, they would not want to take that step. The higher ups of Silver Hand were worried that the academic faction might blow this matter up.

If that happened, they would be in big trouble.

Silver Hand had always been on guard against the academic faction. A tiger that was able to hide was a scary tiger. In comparison, Shanhai City was just an anomaly.

At such a time, Di Chen and the others had to be calm and think about how to react to this sudden change.

As for the awkward situation that King City was facing, Di Chen and the others had no power to help.

'You asked for it!' Di Chen gloated in his heart. When he successfully made Xunlong Dianxue betray Shanhai City, Xiong Ba was so delighted, and the way he spoke in the alliance also grew more arrogant.

"Now that's great, karma has arrived." 
 ...
Di Chen and the others just left casually while Xiong Ba was left raging.

Apart from cursing, he was terrified.

He alone managed to make Xunlong Dianxue betray them, digging away at a cornerstone of Shanhai City. Who knows whether or not Qiyue Wuyi, that mad man, would use this as an excuse to take revenge on King City?

Qiyue Wuyi was such a person.

If that happened, Jiangnan Province would never see peace.

All of a sudden, a tremendous pressure pressed down onto Xiong Ba, making it hard for him to breathe.

Thinking about this, Xiong Ba greatly regretted his decision.

"I was in over my head, why did I go provoke that old fox?"

To make matters worse, the cornerstone was not only dug up, but Qiyue Wuyi's strength grew instead, taking down an entire province.

"What happened!"

Xiong Ba grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he also started to suspect whether or not Qiyue Wuyi noticed the displeasure of Xunlong Dianxue. He purposely used his hand to remove this hidden problem.

Pus.h.i.+ng the blame onto others was the act of a through leader.

Xiong Ba's face grew even darker. However, scolding was just scolding, and there were things that he had to do.

Helplessly, Xiong Ba ordered Wuqi to lead troops to form defenses at the border to get ready for an attack from Shanhai City. He also sent a letter to Zhan Lang to discuss a closer alliance between the two.

Only Zhan Lang that was similarly in the south could help King City get out of this mess. Luckily, their relations.h.i.+p was good all along, and they had the basis for a closer cooperation.

After writing the letter, Xiong Ba's expression was not relaxed as depending on others did not solve the root of the problem.

He had to strengthen himself.

Thinking about that, Xiong Ba got up and went to the window, looking out at the northwest.

There was a chaotic Xiangnan Province.

As long as he took it down, King City could strengthen themselves while also obtaining a strategic way out. He would not be under the threat of Shanhai City at every moment.

However, Xiangnan Province was scattered with aristocratic families and taking it down was not an easy matter.

Xiong Ba had learned his lesson and thought even further. If Shanhai City attacked Jiangnan Province when they were attacking Xiangnan Province, what would happen?

Just thinking about it made him feel a chill in his heart.

"It's difficult!" Xiong Ba let out a long sigh, and he muttered, "Why is there a Qiyue Wuyi in Nanjiang when there is already me?"

Xiong Ba's ambitions could not come to fruition and he was facing problems. Currently, his heart was filled with many thoughts. 
 ...
3rd month, 19th day, Minnan Province.

In just four days, the 3rd Tiger Legion led by Fan Lihua had cleared out the hidden threats in Longyan Prefecture and was heading toward Tingzhou Prefecture with more than one hundred thousand troops.

A day ago, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry led by Ma Chao had entered Shaowu Prefecture.

The Battle of Minnan had officially come to an end.

The unexpected silence of the Yanhuang Alliance made the few Lords that were still stubbornly resisting feel exceedingly dejected. If they fought on, they would only get wiped out.

The Lords were not fools, so all of them surrendered to reduce their losses to a minimal.

Hence, the Minnan battlefield situation was settled.

All that remained was to accept the territories, organize the troops, and plan for the entire province. At the same time, they needed to clear out all unstable elements to wait for the Nanjiang Governor-General House to take over.

The 16 Lords, under the protection of their Personal Guards, brought their families and their a.s.sets and headed for Shanhai City. With that, the last obstacle to Shanhai City taking over the four prefectures was cleared out.

The moment the news went public, the entire wilderness was shocked. No one expected Shanhai City to make such a move.

As time went on, more news was revealed to the public.

Xunlong Dianxue had betrayed Shanhai City and allied with Yanhuang Alliance. However, Shanhai City found out and dealt them a fatal blow.

No one would sympathize with Xunlong Dianxue.

Yanhuang Alliance failing in their acts caused many people to mock them.

On the other hand, the hidden chess pieces that Shanhai City had planted in Minnan Province shocked the people. The matter of 10 Lords surrendering at the same time definitely was not achieved in a day.

If it were not for this war, who would have known that Minnan Province had belonged to Shanhai City all along? If one thought to Jiangnan Province, one would feel a chill run down their spine.

There were rumors that the moment Xunlong City was destroyed, Black Lion City Lord Gong Chengs.h.i.+ went to Shanhai City to meet Qiyue Wuyi.

As for what the two discussed, no outsider knew.

What kind of role would the future Jiangnan Province play in the entire wilderness?

The day Gong Chengs.h.i.+ returned to his territory, he announced some stunning news: Poyang Lake in Jiangnan Province would be opened to the Nanjiang Squadron, and the troops would be allowed to train there.

Some people even linked all the things that happened since the Chinese New Year and came to a terrifying conclusion: Shanhai City and Yanhuang Alliance had three battles in recent times.

Yanhuang Alliance was leading two to one and seemed to hold an advantage.

However, it was obvious that Yanhuang Alliance attacked the outer ring but what they lost was their core.

They seemed like they held the advantage, but they were suffered greatly from this strike by Shanhai City.

Along with Xunlong Dianxue reincarnating in Quanzhou, he released the news about how Yanhuang Alliance had betrayed him, slapping them in the face.

The tragic outcome of Xunlong Dianxue made clear one fact: anyone who worked with Yanhuang Alliance would end up being abandoned.

It was that way from the start, from the Lords in Lianzhou Basin, Lingnan City-State, Yunnan City-State, and then Xunlong City.

This fact caused an uproar among the guilds that had just changed camps.

The guild leaders betrayed Shanhai City and went to join the notorious Yanhuang Alliance. Why did they do that? Was there some sort of unspeakable deal?

The normal members were emotional, and even the higher ups did not understand.

All of a sudden, the guilds shook.

 At this very moment, a small piece of news was revealed; it said that these guild leaders were the lackeys of the aristocratic families. In reality, they worked for the aristocratic families and obtained their support. Naturally, they would not care about the normal members.

Jun Yilao's ident.i.ty as the illegitimate son of an aristocratic family was also revealed.

The moment the news went out, the players raged and scolded their own guild leaders.

"Traitor!"

Two of the mid-sized guilds removed their guild leaders on the spot.

Jianqi Leiyin and the rest were filled with regret, 'Karma came a little too quickly.'
