Superpower Mechanic: I Have Unlimited Ammo! novel Chapter 40

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?"
