Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

The third edition’s headline read that His Excellency Divine Master Wayne Gaiate of The Great Forest Land was assassinated by unidentified armed personnel in front of the hotel owned by the Gaiate Group where he was staying, while mediating between the increasingly tense relations of the Southern Pact Group and the Northern Holy Group in the Northern Kingdom. The assailant used militarily controlled demon-slaying bullets, striking His Excellency Wayne with seven bullets, resulting in immediate death on the spot.

The Kingdoms of Sydney and Farole expressed the utmost condemnation for such barbaric acts and extended their most sincere condolences to Mr. Devil Gaiate, the offspring of His Excellency Gaiate. It is understood that the Orc Union of The Great Forest Land has already notified the Northern Kingdom, stating if the murderer is not delivered within a week, the Orc Union of The Great Forest Land will join the Southern Pact Group.

The Eastern Kingdom strongly condemned this assassination, expressing the same view that if the murderer is not handed over, the Eastern Kingdom will also join the Southern Pact Group.

Malin fell silent for a good while, before eventually lifting his chin with his hand.

It truly is the eve of war.

Having spent money on a map—Sydney, Farole, no problem, the Great Wilderness and The Great Forest Land have now also become independent nations, while the northern territories of the Eastern Kingdom have turned into a kingdom called Ronis, and the South has split into three parts. The one close to the Great Wilderness is still called the Eastern Kingdom, but the other two are separately named the Holy Ronis Kingdom and the Free Territory of Ronis.

The Kingdom of Engma has been restored, but now it too is split into two smaller nations, with the South still called the Kingdom of Engma, and the North called the Engma Union.

The Northern Kingdom completed its unification, and its territory had shifted northward.

Wait, the territory moved northward?
