Chapter 1534: Eagle Country’s Response
On the surface, this attack on this infantry brigade can be seen as a retaliation from the inner world, or it can be seen as a declaration and a signal from the Taiyi Academy and the Baoshu Clan to the inner world.

In strategic terms, it is obviously more than that.

Especially the infantry brigade that launched the attack this time. Its garrison was actually at least several hundred miles away from the Taiyi Academy stronghold. It was not a critical location and did not even pose any threat.

From a tactical perspective, this attack was somewhat unreasonable in terms of both target selection and troop deployment.

But the Earth Core Tribe did just that.

According to normal people, maybe the Earth Core Tribe never played by the rules, or maybe they just wanted to pick on the weak. But for Jiang Yue, who knew the Earth Core world very well, it was not that simple.

The Earth Core Tribe must have other reasons, other calculations.

Jiang Yue speculated that in addition to retaliation, this move was mostly to divert the Eagle Country's attention and make the Eagle Country misjudge that they were about to launch a full-scale attack, but in fact it was to cover up the construction of a teleportation array port for them.

Jiang Yue can basically be sure of this.

However, there was one thing Jiang Yue couldn't understand. If the purpose was just to divert the Eagle Nation's attention, why would they choose this location and attack the garrison there?

You know, this base is not a throat fortress, and judging from the surface environment, it is by no means an important stronghold of the Eagle Country.

However, Jiang Yue soon discovered some clues.

Through his reconnaissance back and forth underground, he was surprised to find that there was a spiritual vein running through the deep underground of this area.

This spiritual vein is hidden in a very deep place and is wrapped in layers of stone. If Jiang Yue had not gone deep enough, he would probably not have been able to find this spiritual vein.

Got it, everything is understood.

Such a hidden spiritual vein must have been carefully selected by the Earth Core Clan, who planned to connect this spiritual vein to the port of the teleportation formation to maximize the use of this spiritual vein.

This infantry brigade is located right above this spiritual vein. If the spiritual vein is activated, even the slightest movement may be detected by the garrison.

However, for now, the Eagle Country has obviously not discovered this problem.

Of course, in addition to Jiang Yue's own strong reconnaissance ability, he also has an advantage, that is, he has the support of Tongye University Scholar. From Tongye University Scholar, Jiang Yue had long learned that Taiyi Academy was planning to build a teleportation array port in the Eagle Country stronghold.

Without this preconceived clue, Jiang Yue might not have investigated so deeply and quickly found the underlying reasons.

Of course, Jiang Yue has another advantage, that is, he has detected the spirit veins many times in the inner world and is very familiar with the fluctuations and composition characteristics of the spirit veins.

This spiritual vein in the surface world is actually similar to the spiritual vein in the inner world, and there is not much difference. Therefore, Jiang Yue sensed the familiar characteristics of this spiritual vein after a little deeper exploration. After further exploration, he saw the secret inside.

Otherwise, why do people say that actual combat is the best way to train people? Jiang Yue has participated in countless actual combats in the Earth's Core World, and his understanding of the Earth's Core Clan and the Earth's Core World is actually the best on the surface. Even old man Yunhe, who has been lurking in the Earth's Core World for many years, is probably inferior to him.

After Jiang Yue finished his reconnaissance, he returned to the ground and was about to call his teammates to leave.

However, he found that several of his teammates were confronting several awakened people from the Eagle Country in the distance, and the atmosphere between the two sides did not seem to be very friendly.

If the people here hadn't been rational, a fight would have already broken out.

Jiang Yue had been concentrating on scouting the underground situation and had not paid attention to the surface situation. In his opinion, the teammates he brought with him were guarding the ground, so there was no need to worry about any crisis.

Seeing Jiang Yue appear, the faces of the awakened people from Eagle Country became even uglier.

One of them, a guy with a slicked-back hair, who seemed to be the leader of the group, stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Jiang, my general asked me to tell you that as guests, what you have done has crossed the line. If you want to be a guest in Eagle Country, we have no objection. But if you act on your own and wander around our territory without permission, don't blame us for being rude."

Jiang Yue naturally noticed the other party's impoliteness, but he didn't argue with him. He smiled and said, "This place has just been attacked by the Earth Core Tribe. It's reasonable for me to take a look, right? The Earth Core Tribe is our common enemy. I also want to know how the Earth Core Tribe launched an attack on a team of several thousand people, and did it so carefully."

The man with the slicked back hair was displeased: "I must warn you, this is our Eagle Country's business. At no time do you need people from your Dazhang Country to intervene."

Jiang Yue didn't intend to argue with the other party, and asked calmly: "I have no intention of interfering, but I still have the obligation to learn a thing or two about the tactics of the Earth Core Tribe. Since you don't allow reconnaissance, can you please share the gains and losses of this battle?"

The other party said unhappily: "Our post-war summary has not yet reached a clear conclusion, I can't give it."

"Haha, then I can remind you for free..."

Before Jiang Yue could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by the other party: "Jiang, if you don't know how to behave, I will formally warn you on behalf of the Eagle Country. If you act without authorization again, we will have the power to expel you from the country!"

Han Jingjing behind him was unhappy: "This is really a joke. We came all the way here to help you and kindly reminded you of the intelligence of the decapitation plan, and this is your attitude? Is this the only tolerance of the Eagle Country?"

"Although your intelligence came earlier, ours came later. Therefore, your so-called sharing of intelligence is just a favor and does not provide any substantial help to our Eagle Country. Moreover, the so-called decapitation plan has not been implemented and cannot be implemented."

"That's because their decapitation plan was exposed in the inner world."

The other party obviously had no intention of reasoning with them: "Okay, everyone, I've got your message. If you act on your own again next time, you will definitely be expelled. Unless you want to go against the Eagle Country, that will be considered a hostile act, and you know the consequences."

Han Jingjing and Jiang Ying were both quite angry, but Jiang Yue waved his hand and said, "No problem. Since you don't need us to intervene, we will just treat it as a normal visit. The Eagle Country won't even drive away guests, right?"

"If you behave yourself, we will not expel you." The slicked-back hair said coldly, "But if you say one thing in public and another in private, we in the Eagle Country will never sit idly by."

The two sides separated again in this unpleasant atmosphere.

Back at the base, the Star City team was very angry about the Eagle Nation's attitude. It was already this late, but the Eagle Nation still had the same confrontational mentality as before the weird era.

It is said that the people in the center of the earth are not united, but in fact, the surface world has passed the initial dangerous period, and the so-called unity has shown signs of loosening.
Of course, Jiang Yue had a good attitude and said with a smile: "The Eagle Country is so confident. Let's see if they are really capable or just blindly confident."

"So what? Are we going to just sit there and watch the Earth Core Tribe build the portal of the teleportation array? If they really succeed, we'll be in big trouble."

Jiang Yue said calmly: "It's nothing but a teleportation array. It's not like we haven't seen it before. We have dealt with teleportation arrays so many times in recent days. Others may not know it, but don't we know it ourselves?"

When it comes to familiarity with teleportation arrays, no one in the surface world can compare to them, not even close to them.

Even so, many people were still unhappy. Some even suggested that since the Eagle Country was so ungrateful, they should just return to the Great Zhang Country, or even to the Earth's core.

This proposal was echoed by many people.

When operating in the surface world, they feel more constrained. They have to consider the overall situation and politics when doing things, and it is difficult for them to do whatever they want.

Just like what happened just now, if they had not considered the cooperative relationship between the two countries and the overall situation of the surface world, they would have taught the other party a lesson long ago.

In this world, is there any truth more convincing than a fist?
You don't accept? You don't listen? I'll beat you until you accept. I'll beat you until you listen.

If this happened in the inner world, they would probably just go for it and not say anything more. With the looks on their faces, a good beating would be the least of their worries.

At this time, the Poison Insect Guardian also came over and said, "There is a group of Eagle Country scouts hanging around outside the base like ghosts. Master Yue, do you want to teach them a lesson?"

Jiang Yue thought about it and nodded, "We can teach them a lesson, but try not to let them know that it was us who did it."

The poisonous insect guardian grinned and said, "I understand. I just want them to be defeated. There is no evidence that it was us who did it."

That’s what I mean. The poisonous insect guardian understands it completely.

These scouts sent by the Eagle Country to follow us must be either incompetent or have some skills. Otherwise, they would not be able to do this job of following us.

But if you ask them if they have any great abilities, they definitely don't. How could someone with great abilities do such a thing?

At the very least, for people of their level, the weakest member of the Star City team must be several times stronger than them.

In other words, in front of the Star City team, these people are actually no different from child's play. It's just that the Eagle Country still lacks understanding of the true strength of the Star City team, and does not know that this team represents the highest level of the Great Chapter Country, or even the highest level of the entire surface world.

If the Eagle Country knew about this, it would never send reconnaissance personnel of this level to follow us.

Of course, the Eagle State is actually a bit overwhelmed now. Unlike the Great Zhang State, the power structure of the Eagle State has more or less continued the characteristics of the Sunshine Era.

Once something goes wrong, disputes are inevitable.

The Eagle Country is now caught in a dispute. Regarding the sneak attack by the Earth Core Tribe, some people believe that it was just an accident, and that the Earth Core Tribe dispatched a large number of elite troops, which was simply like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes. This was completely irrational behavior and could not be used as a long-term reference.

But more people believe that the Earth Core Tribe has tasted the sweetness, and if there is a first time, there will soon be a second time.

If the Eagle Nation fails to respond and retaliates, it will definitely be looked down upon by the Earth Core Tribe, and will become even more aggressive.

The majority of people still advocate tit-for-tat and launching fierce revenge against the Earth Core Tribe.

The military is the main force among them.

Of course, the Eagle Country also has an institution that is specifically responsible for managing the awakened ones. Although this department is a new department, it has become one of the most popular departments. Even if it cannot compete with the military, it has a 30% to 70% say.

Even the Investigation Bureau and Intelligence Bureau of the Sunshine Era were integrated to form this Supervisory Bureau.

The so-called supervisory bureau is responsible for all major internal and external affairs, including the management of awakened people. Its director is one of the five giants in the power structure of Eagle Country.

To fight against the Earth Core Tribe, the enthusiasm of the military alone is not enough, the Supervisory Bureau must give the nod.

Even without the cooperation of the Supervisory Bureau, it would be difficult for the military to carry out this matter alone. The military is good at large-scale firepower output.

The Supervisory Bureau, on its part, provides detailed and technical outputs.

Without the joining of powerful awakeners, the quality and level of awakeners that the military already has are obviously insufficient.

Among the Eagle Country’s top awakeners, the military accounts for only 20% to 30% at most, and most of the real top masters are still under the leadership of the Supervisory Bureau.

Of course, those who are scattered among the people and have not joined official organizations are another matter.

Whether in terms of quantity or quality, the top awakeners of the Supervisory Bureau clearly have unique advantages.

After two or three days of intense wrangling among all parties, a preliminary consensus was finally reached.

In order to launch a retaliation against the Earth Core Tribe, we must first be able to locate the Earth Core Tribe.

The Earth Core Tribe has a base on the Koro Plateau, and the Eagle Nation has actually investigated it. However, the Eagle Nation still lacks specific data on how big the base is and how many Earth Core Tribe members are hiding there.

The military had proposed attack plans, but they were all rejected. The reason for the rejection was simple: even if the military used the strongest firepower, it would be difficult to hit the core area of ​​the Earth Core Tribe's stronghold.

No matter how powerful your firepower is, you can't turn a plateau into a plain, can you? You can't turn a high cliff into a shallow beach, can you?
To deal with the Earth Core Tribe, we have to lure them out and then fight them.

At this time, the awakened people in charge of the investigation were called over to report the situation. Only by summarizing and analyzing the intelligence could a corresponding strike plan be formulated.

Naturally, someone mentioned the group of people from Dazhang Kingdom, and the man with the slicked-back hair even exaggerated the complaint, saying that those guys from Dazhang Kingdom were lawless and did not take the Eagle Kingdom seriously at all.

They were sneaking around and scouting everywhere, and it was unclear whether they were investigating the Earth Core Tribe or trying to find out the bottom of the Eagle Country.

In short, the group of people from Dazhang Kingdom are a disturbing factor and must be persuaded to return. They must not be allowed to participate in it.
