Superpower Mechanic: I Have Unlimited Ammo!-Chapter 40 Speculations about the Freedom Federation

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Speculations about the Freedom Federation

The next day, the East Dragon Empire, like a slumbering lion, suddenly awoke.

All the Imperial Guard Army units of the Dragon Group were mobilized, camping and fortifying at the easily accessible border areas of the East Dragon Empire, strictly prohibiting any entry or exit.

Meanwhile, the other major guilds, under the leadership and command of Nuclear Peace Elites and Glory of the Dead, began to thoroughly eradicate all foreign professionals within the Empire’s borders, expelling them entirely.

At the same time, the East Dragon Empire’s royal family issued a public announcement to all countries worldwide:

Effective immediately, the entire East Dragon Empire is under lockdown, and anyone who illegally crosses the borders will be considered to have provoked the East Dragon Empire and will face the consequences!

This public notice instantly created a huge uproar on the international stage.

Countries around the world began to speculate on the deeper meaning behind the East Dragon Empire’s actions.

Connecting this with the international war instance a month later, everyone began to suspect: Was the East Dragon Empire planning some major move?

Freedom Federation, National Conference Room.

Unlike the three major guilds of the East Dragon Empire, the Freedom Federation had consolidated all national guilds, forming the strongest guild — the Yuan God!

The Yuan God Guild not only served as the Freedom Federation’s top military force, but also managed nationwide administration, akin to a national parliament.

The various branches of the guild were spread across the country, with each branch responsible for managing a state.

In the event of a major issue, all branch leaders were required to respond to the head guild’s call and support the nation.

Like, for instance, right now.

The head guild master of the Yuan God Guild, Parker Williams, solemnly scanned everyone below him with a stern gaze: "You all must have heard by now about the East Dragon Empire’s enforcement of the lockdown order. So far, aside from their own professionals, all nationals from other countries have been forcibly expelled."

"Let’s discuss. Have your people gathered any information on this?"

All the branch masters exchanged glances, and low discussions filled the conference room.

But moments later, the bewilderment on their faces showed that none of them knew why the East Dragon Empire had suddenly enforced a lockdown order.

The Gotham Branch Master, James Gordon, hesitated before speaking: "Master, could it be related to the international war instance happening in a month? Is the East Dragon Empire secretly planning something?"

Upon hearing James’s comments, the other branch masters slightly nodded, clearly having the same suspicions.

Because at this stage, aside from the looming international war instance, nothing else seemed significant enough for the East Dragon Empire to implement a closure order.

Moreover, according to those who were expelled from the East Dragon Empire, nothing unusual had happened there recently, and everything appeared normal.

Parker Williams wore a pensive look, his eyes gleaming with thoughts.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head, speaking in a deep voice: "No, it doesn’t seem related to the international war instance."

"Mr. Li isn’t a fool. If they really had secret plans concerning the international war instance, they shouldn’t be acting so brazenly."

"Implementing a lockdown order at such a time would be tantamount to blatantly telling everyone that they’re preparing a secret weapon to deal with the upcoming international war instance. That doesn’t make sense."

The Huadu Branch Master, Bruno Collins, furrowed his brow: "But if it’s not the international war instance, what else could warrant the East Dragon Empire enforcing a closure order?"

"Could it be that some powerful world boss appeared in the East Dragon Empire, and they don’t want people from other countries to intervene?"

"Or perhaps they acquired some especially powerful Legendary Epic, some kind of game-changing effect, and they want to keep it secret?"

"Could it be that Mr. Li suddenly kicked the bucket? And they’re afraid we’ll find out and wage war?"

"You must be joking! Can’t you think a bit? Mr. Li is an 88-Level Creator, ranked first on the leaderboard, stronger than even the head guild master, he wouldn’t just drop dead for no reason!"

"What the hell! Whose side are you on? Are you looking for a fight?"

"You, idiot! I’m just telling you to learn to use your brain, not just think with your lower head!"

All kinds of disorderly guesses erupted in the conference room, with various noisy arguments rising and falling.

Parker Williams watched the suddenly chaotic conference room with a headache and loudly yelled: "Quiet down! What are you doing!"

Seeing the head guild master angry, the various disputes and debates finally gradually subsided.

Parker Williams glowered at everyone, thought for a moment, then fixed his gaze on James Gordon.

"James, inform Sakura Country to find a way to infiltrate the East Dragon Empire and uncover the real reason behind the lockdown order. I have a feeling that old wolf Mr. Li is plotting something unsavory again."

"Master Guild Master, why do we need Sakura Country to send people? Isn’t it more direct for us to send our own people?" a branch master immediately questioned.

Parker Williams shot him a glance: "Fool! People from the Freedom Federation look so different from those in the East Dragon Empire. How on earth could we infiltrate?"

"Uh..." That branch master was immediately at a loss.

James nodded: "I understand, Master Guild Master."

Parker nodded slightly, waving a hand: "Alright, let’s leave it at that. Until we have concrete information, monitor every move of the East Dragon Empire closely."

"Yes, Master Guild Master!" everyone shouted.

Sakura Country, Heavenly Light Guild Headquarters.

The highly revered guild master in Sakura Country, Kobe Kenjin, was bowing lowly before the big screen.

"Kobe Kenjin, you’re already aware of the East Dragon Empire’s lockdown order."

"In recent years, though we have consistently suppressed the East Dragon Empire, their overall strength remains formidable."

"Your Sakura Country is adjacent to the East Dragon Empire. If they are indeed preparing some major move, given your history with them, you’d be the first to suffer."

"Head Guild Master Parker has instructed me to tell you to find a way to send people into the East Dragon Empire as quickly as possible and uncover the true reason behind their lockdown order!"

Kobe Kenjin looked troubled but dared not show any disrespect before James.

After all, without the backing of the Freedom Federation, a small island country like Sakura Country would have long been annexed by the East Dragon Empire across the sea.

Any request from their benefactor would have to be complied with.

"Yes!" Kobe Kenjin bowed in response.

"Alright, that’s it. Please act quickly." James nodded with satisfaction and closed the video communication.

As the big screen went black, Kobe Kenjin, who had just been groveling, immediately straightened his posture with a proud and noble stance.

He thought for a moment, then ordered sternly: "Come in."

"Yes, Guild Master!" A subordinate respectfully rushed in.

"Notify Ichiro to come; I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes!"
