Banner of the Evil God

Apart from territorial expansion, not much happened in the Northwest Republic in recent years.

This is not surprising. The Northwest Republic is located on the border, has a strong national power, and its own system is also quite stable. For such a powerful country, not to mention ten years, even twenty or thirty years, nothing big may happen.

In this world, wars often occur between countries, but no matter what kind of army, they can't even think of crossing the long distance to attack the Northwest Republic.

As for the country adjacent to it - on the east side of the Northwestern Republic are steep and barren mountains, which are almost impassable and can only be crossed through a few gorges. Even after passing through the canyon, the opposite side is either the vast Gobi desert or the snowy fields, which are not suitable places for marching.

Moreover, further east in the Gobi and snowfields is the "Western Wilderness" of the Orc Empire. That is the province with the weakest ruling power of the Orc Empire. If others don't look for trouble with them, the Governor of the Western Wasteland will be thankful. How could he come back to bring trouble to the Northwest Republic?

As for the north and west of the Northwest Republic, there is a vast sea, and there are civilizations in the sea, such as mermaids in the far sea and murlocs in the near sea. However, His Majesty the Mask of the Void, the boss behind the Northwest Republic, is the guide of the goddess of the sea, which is roughly the same. With the status of master or adoptive father, the marine race would never dare to cause trouble to the Northwest Republic unless there was water in their heads.

Of course, it's not easy to find it, because they don't have a seaside city at all. Even if you start from Void City, which is closest to the ocean, and walk in a straight line towards the nearest coast, it is still about 1,300 miles away. Such a long distance is really an insurmountable chasm for the Hai Clan.

The only "close border" with the Northwestern Republic is the Gold Coin Federation in the south. However, the Gold Coin Federation itself is not a powerful country. The merchant faction bordering the Northwest Republic is a relatively weak one in the Gold Coin Federation. In addition, the relationship with the disaster relief... ...Currently, many cities in the northern part of the Gold Coin Federation are discussing whether to join the Northwest Republic, and even in the entire merchant faction's Great Council, someone has proposed this more than once. If you want to say that this country will cause trouble for the Northwest Republic, those who think so should definitely take a basic political class first - strengthen their memory of political common sense by having the teacher hit their palms hard with a wooden board.

Since the surrounding countries will not be harmful to the Northwest Republic, and the Northwest Republic itself is very safe, of course nothing particularly worth mentioning will happen.

As for the Ten World No. 1 Martial Arts Competition and the Founding Celebration, they are all routine official business, nothing special worth mentioning.

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and asked: "Who is the champion of this world's best martial arts tournament?"

Wall immediately named a veteran strongman. Sui Xiong was surprised when he heard this and asked: "I remember that he had already participated in the first World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, right?"

"Yes, but he was still young at the time and his grades were average." Wall replied, "Later, he participated in every World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, and his scores continued to rise, and finally won the World No. 1 Martial Arts Competition this time. one."

"...This man is really inspiring."

"Yes, he has been canonized in his hometown and became a baron. I think as long as he can put his perseverance and enthusiasm for martial arts into the construction of his territory, maybe his territory will develop into a world-class one."

Speaking of this, Wall suddenly remembered something and said with interest: "By the way, there is also a dark horse in this martial arts tournament!"

"Dark horse? Who?"

"Fela Kenji." Wall was afraid that Sui Xiong didn't know this person, so he explained, "He is a native of our Northwest Republic, a first-generation immigrant, and a half-orc from the pig tribe. He was originally a chef, but it turned out Later, when I joined the joint exploration team and helped the Gold Coin Federation explore a silver mine, I accidentally picked up a magic ring that was a relic of an ancient adventurer while helping to transport things. "

"Ring?" Sui Xiong was a little curious and subconsciously thought of some novels he had read before traveling through time. "Is there the soul of an ancient legendary mage hidden in that ring?"

"Eh?! Your Majesty, you know."

"...No, I don't know." Sui Xiong's mouth twitched and he replied calmly, "Go on."

Wall looked at Sui Xiong's changing face with some curiosity and continued: "There is an ancient legendary mage in the ring who has been dead for many years. He is trying to steal his body by teaching him magic so that he can be resurrected."

"Failed?" Sui Xiong asked.

"Well, it failed." Wall said, "Fela's friend Hopps Wilder saw through the ancient mage's conspiracy, but instead used the power of modern magic to let Fela swallow the soul of the ancient mage. . So Fela was reborn and quickly grew into an excellent mage. He has been focusing on integrating the concepts of magic and 'eating', and got the help of 'Gourmet' Milomon and 'Health Practitioner' Mado Kong. In the end, he created a special magic system named 'Blue Magic' - this magic system learns the magic abilities of the monsters by eating certain monsters, which is very wonderful."

"In other words, he achieved outstanding results in the world's best martial arts tournament by relying on his wonderful magic and unexpected victory?"

"Yes, with his true strength, to be honest, it is not easy to enter the top four of the world's number one martial arts competition." Wall nodded, "But for him, whether he can enter the top four is not important. The reason why he went to participate in the world's number one martial arts competition is actually to seek revenge."

"Revenge?"

"Yes, he has a grudge against Ruby Sliu, the instructor of the exploration team of the Ministry of Mines. He suffered a lot in those days and has never forgotten it. Ruby Sliu also participated in this year's world's number one martial arts competition and said that he He will definitely get good results. After Fela learned about it, he rushed to register and succeeded almost one minute before the registration deadline. "

Wol paused and said: "Fela's luck is not very good. In order to play against Ruby, he had to play until the quarterfinals. He had a hard time in every game later, but the last game against Ruby was quite easy. After defeating Ruby and entering the semifinals, he actually gave up..."

Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing: "This is also an interesting person!"

Wish everyone a happy Year of the Rooster and all the best!
