Chapter 891: Reactions from all sides
No one would have thought that after the Demon Hunter Knights declared war on the Orc Empire, only half a month later, this war, which many people thought would be a protracted war, would be over!
The Demon Hunter Knights also changed their norm and announced the occupation of the entire Orc Empire!
This news instantly spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent, causing all the countries in the Eastern Continent to fall into shock!
A knightly organization without any state support against a powerful empire that dominated a large area of land in the north of the Eastern Continent ended in a month. And it ended in a crushing defeat for the Orc Empire!
The Puppet King Lacey was killed in battle, the Great Wall of the Divine Claw Capital fell, the remnants of the Abyss Empire were wiped out, and the Beast Legion suffered heavy casualties......
All kinds of glorious victories have declared the powerful combat effectiveness of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the majority of the people of the Orc Empire accept the rule of the Demon Hunter Knights, which makes many countries even more vigilant.
Yes, vigilance. Whether it was Okasre, who had a good relationship with the Knights, or the countries further south, the first reaction to hearing the news was astonishment, and then vigilance.
Originally, the reason why they ignored the Demon Hunter Knights was that although this organization was powerful, it did not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, which made people feel like a mercenary group.
And now, the Demon Hunter Knights have openly announced the occupation of the entire territory of the Orc Empire, and somehow quickly pacified the people of the Orc Empire!
This gives the leaders of the nations the sense that a powerful nation is on the rise and has to be wary of them.
After the Demon Hunter Knights occupied the Divine Claw Capital, the countries immediately sent envoys to the Free City, ostensibly to celebrate, but in fact to find out the reality of the Demon Hunter Knights.
And they also got a promise from the regiment leader Edward: they will not expand their territory on the Eastern Continent, and at the same time prepare to march westward!
Expedition to the West?
When the nations got the news, they all closed their mouths in shock. The territory of the Orc Empire spans the entire northern part of the Eastern Continent, and to the west of them is an endless sea, without any country. Where are they going to conquer in their so-called westward crusade?
There is only one answer - the Western Continent!
For a long time, the Western Continent has been a mysterious region for the people of the Eastern Continent. With the navigation technology of various countries, it is a dream to cross the Zell Middle Sea.
Now, how could they not be shocked that an organization that had just risen and had just conquered the Orc Empire had declared that it was going west to conquer the Western Continent?
Shocked and relieved, the minds of the nations began to come alive, if the Demon Hunter Knights really wanted to go west, would they be able to get a piece of this unprecedented war?
Once the sea routes between the eastern and western continents are opened, will there be endless business opportunities and large tracts of land waiting for them to occupy?
But there is no leader of a country who is not eager to expand his territory. There are already many countries on the eastern continent, and now there is an Ozrem squeezed in, and there is no borderland for them to occupy, so what about the western continent?
At the thought of this tempting future, the countries of the Eastern Continent were a little unable to sit still, and instead of recalling the envoys, they left them in the Free City, waiting for the response of the Demon Hunter Knights.
............
At this time, Edward was in the Ranger camp in Free City, watching the rangers of various races pat the long line with Sid, stretching their necks and waiting to receive their new equipment.
It's been about a week since the end of the Northern Expedition, and their crossing day is approaching, and Sid plans to change the costumes of some of the elite rangers before crossing over.
Sid did a great job. During the Demon Hunter Knights' attack on the Orc Empire, he stayed in Free City to build the Wizard Factory.
After more than half a month of construction, with the efforts of some of the old rookie mages who turned into magic guide workers, the first phase of the magic factory has been built.
Sid and his magician workers tried the assembly line of the first phase of the factory and found a lot of problems, but they also rushed to produce a batch of new equipment for the rangers. Today is the day of the costume change, and Edward and Sid plan to let the rangers from the Legion of Crossing on the Demon Chester change their clothes first.
"Commander, General Sid, can't you get new equipment yet?" asked, Commander Aite of the Crossing Legion, at the front of the line, as he impatiently looked at the backpacks that were being transported down behind the two.
"What are you in a hurry! I need to ship all the products out before I can start distributing them. Sid looked at Aite, who had almost transformed into a giraffe, and said, "Take a good look at the manual in your hand, don't make jokes when the time comes, you are an enviable commander." ”
"I've seen it for a long time!" Aite touched his head and smirked.
The reason why Sid said that he was enviable was that Aite had a beautiful wife from the other world after experiencing the last otherworld, and it was the brave journalist Saya - since Saya was just an ordinary person, it didn't take much to bring her to the native plane, and Edward did Aether's wish. Now, Saya lives in the residential area of the Demon Hunter and has a property in Liberty City.
"That...... Captain, am I making a bad start by doing this?" said Aite a little awkwardly, "With my precedent, do the soldiers want to ......"
"That's better. Edward smiled, "You are the warriors who follow us, and it is also one of our responsibilities to let you have a good and happy life, and I am glad to see that you have made such a start, and if other people have a crush on them, as long as they are good and have the consent of the other party, they can be extradited." ”
As soon as Edward finished speaking, the rangers in the line behind him let out a burst of cheers, and several Harpy rangers jokingly asked if there would be Harpies in the next Otherworld......
"Alright, now get in line! We're starting to hand out new gear. At this time, Sid clapped his hands and announced, "Anyone who receives new equipment will be equipped as soon as possible, and if there is any problem, it will be raised in person." ”
"If there is no problem, then this set of equipment belongs to you, and our logistics staff will register the serial numbers of each equipment. There are also maintenance methods for new equipment in the manual, and you are responsible for maintaining the equipment yourself. ”
After Sid finished speaking, he handed the first backpack to Aite in a burst of applause.
Aite carefully took the backpack and came to the side, ignoring the many people looking at the scene, he directly took off the ranger equipment, and began to change his clothes shirtless and wearing a pair of pants.
