Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Ban on the Country Order!
"Yes, teacher!" Wang Qingfeng and Ling Xuehan replied excitedly.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Nuclear Peace Elite conference room.
Wang Qingfeng opened the projection and took his seat.
As the distorted light began to change, the scene before their eyes started to ripple like water.
Marshal Li’s expression remained calm, watching the scene change before him.
Once the ripples subsided, the three were no longer in the Nuclear Peace Elite conference room but had arrived in a much larger conference room.
In the center of the conference room was a massive long table, with two rows of people seated on either side.
Wang Qingfeng and Ling Xuehan sat in the foremost two positions on Marshal Li’s right.
On Marshal Li’s left, at the head of the table, was an elderly man with a stern expression and finely dressed.
He was Zhou Tianshou, the president of the Glory of the Dead Guild.
At the same time, he was also the president of the Clan Elders Council of the East Dragon Empire.
Below Zhou Tianshou was Yun Zhenhai, the vice president of the Glory of the Dead Guild.
Further below were the heads of various major guilds of the East Dragon Empire.
"Hey, do you know why the Hundred Guild Council is being convened today?"
"Not sure, I also just got the notice last minute. I heard it was initiated by Marshal Li."
"Strange, hasn’t there been anything major happening lately?"
"Could it be because of the international war instance a month from now?"
"Probably not, in recent years, Marshal Li has always been behind the scenes. Even for the international war instance, Wang Qingfeng and Ling Xuehan represented us."
The heads of the various guilds were still discussing when suddenly, Marshal Li’s figure appeared in the conference room.
Everyone’s expressions became solemn, and they quickly fell silent, sitting up straight.
Marshal Li glanced around at everyone, briefly pausing on Zhou Tianshou and Yun Zhenhai to his left, then stood up first and respectfully turned to look at the large screen.
The originally pitch-black screen flickered slightly, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in an elegant black and gold robe.
Marshal Li slightly bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"
"Welcome, Your Majesty!" everyone said in unison, bowing to the man on the screen.
The middle-aged man, wearing a purple-gold crown, had a faint smile on his face: "Presidents, no need for such formalities. Since everyone is here, Marshal Li, please preside over the meeting."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Li nodded. freewёbnoνel.com
Since the emergence of various monsters and professionals, the military power of all nations has been significantly weakened, with professionals gradually becoming the sole measure of a nation’s strength.
The imperial system of the East Dragon Empire continued, but the Emperor’s power had been greatly diminished, mostly responsible for administrative management, representing a status of prestige.
As for military power, it was entirely in the hands of the major guilds, with the three major guilds of the East Dragon Empire at the forefront.
Marshal Li stood up, glanced around the room, his gaze slightly narrowing, his voice turning solemn: "I heard from Qingfeng that in the previous Slaughter Dungeons, our East Dragon Empire was continually ambushed by Sakura Country and the Freedom Federation, suffering significant losses?"
At these words, Zhou Tianshou, president of the Glory of the Dead Guild to Marshal Li’s left, slightly furrowed his brow.
His vice president, Yun Zhenhai, also had a flash in his eyes.
The expressions of the other guild presidents also became peculiar, secretly exchanging glances, confusion evident in their eyes.
This... is it?
Marshal Li had not interfered in the affairs of the major guilds for years, suddenly calling for the Hundred Guild Council just for such a minor matter?
Ever since Marshal Li led the rise of the East Dragon Empire, it had always been secretly targeted by countries led by the Freedom Federation. Being ambushed by these countries was not very unusual, was it?
Not to mention the Slaughter Dungeon, even in the Abyss Dungeon, Camp Battle Dungeon, and large raids, whenever those countries gathered, wasn’t the East Dragon Empire always ambushed or targeted? Was this worth calling the Hundred Guild Council for?
But, after all, Marshal Li was the foremost figure in the East Dragon Empire.
Even though his prestige was damaged by a past assassination incident, due to his contributions to the East Dragon Empire, as long as he remained Marshal Li and the president of Nuclear Peace Elite and the Dragon Group, his status would never waver.
Faced with Marshal Li’s inquiry, although the guild presidents were puzzled, they could only respond respectfully.
"Indeed, that’s the case."
"Especially the Freedom Federation and Sakura Country, one could even say it’s blatant, even Korea Country hasn’t been as respectful as before in recent years."
"Last time in the Abyss Dungeon, several young professionals from our guild encountered Kobe Ichiro from Sakura Country, and were cruelly killed by him."
Listening to the responses below, Marshal Li’s expression remained unchanged, nodding slightly.
"According to Qingfeng’s report, the reason our East Dragon Empire’s professionals are frequently ambushed in various instances is likely because the other side’s spies obtained our action plans before the instance even opened. How is your spy investigation going?"
The guild presidents exchanged a glance, somewhat perplexed, shaking their heads.
Spies were an entity present in every country.
The East Dragon Empire was vast and populous, with an open national policy and complex personnel. It’s not easy to root out those spies.
Zhou Tianshou, president of the Glory of the Dead Guild, furrowed his brow slightly, speaking slowly: "President Li, the spy investigation has always been a long-term and complex task, and all presidents have been working on it. But in the short term, it’s difficult to achieve significant results, as you should know."
Zhou Tianshou was not only the president of the Glory of the Dead, but also the president of the Clan Elders Council.
In the East Dragon Empire, his status was equivalent to a state’s prime minister, virtually on par with Marshal Li.
Therefore, he was the only one who did not need to address him as "Marshal Li," and simply called him President.
Marshal Li glanced at him faintly, then turned his gaze towards everyone, his eyes instantly becoming sharp: "In recent years, our East Dragon Empire’s younger professionals are already at a disadvantage. If they get killed a few more times by the Freedom Federation and others, won’t there’s no future talents left?"
"Since you can’t root out the spies they have planted, simply stop trying."
"I propose, in my capacity as the Marshal of the East Dragon Empire, that starting today, we implement a Closed Border Order, sealing the entire realm from foreign professionals, simultaneously closing the international Teleportation Array."
"As for the foreign professionals still within the borders of the East Dragon Empire, you are allotted one day to expel them all!"
As these words fell, the entire conference room was initially silent, then it erupted into uproar.
Except for Wang Qingfeng and Ling Xuehan who were prepared, their expressions unchanged.
All other guild presidents displayed expressions of astonishment.
Even the emperor attending the meeting was amazed, looking at Marshal Li.
Closed Border Order?
This is a significant move!
With this order, the East Dragon Empire is practically closing itself off from the world and with its current status internationally, it’s bound to stir up an uproar, prompting speculation and discussions from countries worldwide!
