Doulong Emerges

If it had only top-tier combat power, it would not have been enough to make the major factions wary.

But Doulong Technology, with its top experts, complete industrial chain, and vast resources, instantly stirred greed in countless factions.

Shrek had suffered a setback and had no time to look beyond itself. A newly risen top faction held endless profits in its hands. With such a juicy prize laid before them, many long-dormant old powers and extraterritorial factions were tempted, giving rise to desperate schemes.

Batch after batch of spies, assassins, and raiding parties quietly infiltrated East Sea, attempting to steal Doulong Technology's industrial secrets, seize resource strongholds, and even forcibly annex its peripheral industries to get a share of the spoils.
