spooky invasion

Chapter 1535 Worried
Just as the Eagle Nation was preparing for retaliation and was still formulating a counterattack plan, the Earth Core Tribe actually took the initiative to attack again.

This time, they did not gather a large army to launch a large-scale attack, but broke up into small groups and spread out everywhere, carrying out harassment and raids throughout the Eagle Country.

The extent of the harassment is completely uncertain, depending on the target's level of preparation and ability to respond. If the target is not well prepared, the harassment will turn into an assault, a blow. But if the target is well prepared and can respond quickly, the Earth Core Tribe will not hesitate to fight and will turn around and leave after probing the target.

This widespread fighting style fully utilizes the fact that the Earth Core Tribe has many masters and rich skills.

Although the special medicine assimilated their blood genes, the efficacy of the special medicine itself did work. At least the erosion of the actions of these Earth Core Clan masters in the surface world was greatly reduced. The degree of influence was only one tenth of the past.

Over time, as they adapt to the surface world, the effects of this erosion will disappear completely.

However, for these masters of the Earth Core Clan, one-tenth of the erosion force no longer affects their activities in the surface world.

As long as they are not exposed for a long time, the erosion force can be ignored. This also provides great convenience for their actions.

The Taiyi Academy was obviously determined to get back at the Eagle Country, and sent a large number of experts into the Eagle Country to harass the various survivor bases, military strongholds, and large cities in dozens of states of the Eagle Country without getting tired of it.

Over the past few days, the entire Eagle Country has received at least hundreds of reports of harassment incidents. Among these harassment incidents, the minor ones only caused dozens of casualties, which was not a big problem. However, the most serious ones even caused hundreds or thousands of casualties, causing great chaos and panic.

For the Eagle Country, they can actually afford such casualties, and it can even be said to be just a drizzle.

The population of Eagle Country in the Sunshine Era was second only to that of Da Zhang Country, but it also had a population of 1 billion. In the Weird Era, Eagle Country has always been a martial country, and it is a daily state for everyone to be equipped with weapons. In the Weird Era, the proportion of survivors who survived was almost the highest in the entire surface world, reaching almost 20%.

What the Eagle Nation could not bear was actually the public opinion caused by these annoying harassment and attacks, which caused everyone in each survivor base to be insecure and a huge crisis of trust occurred.

Although the overall situation is still under control, the Eagle Country has always claimed to be the strongest country on earth.

Since the war between the two places broke out, the Earth Core Clan has not made any progress. In all battles, big and small, the Earth Core Clan has always been at a disadvantage.

Now the Earth Core Clan is trying to establish its authority over the Eagle Nation, and has repeatedly gained the upper hand over them. Doesn't this tell the entire surface world that the Eagle Nation is strong on the outside but weak on the inside? Not only has it failed to play a leading role in dealing with the Earth Core Clan, but it has also become a bit of a drag?
You can't even deal with the attacks from the Earth Core Tribe in your own country. It's like playing whack-a-mole. They keep popping up everywhere, and you're completely overwhelmed.

Then, how can the countries and forces on the surface world believe that you are capable of leading the surface world and leading the surface world to victory over the inner world?

Therefore, the Eagle Country is actually completely blocking these news, trying not to let these negative news spread. They are trying their best to cover up the wounds and make everyone ignore their current embarrassing situation.

Unfortunately, the Earth Core Tribe did not intend to give them this face, and the public opinion in the Eagle country could not be completely suppressed even if they wanted to, to the point where no sound could be heard.

The awakened ones in the Supervisory Bureau were also very busy. The number of awakened ones in the entire Eagle Country was obviously very impressive. In a head-on confrontation, they were definitely not afraid of the masters of the Earth Core Clan.

The problem is that the Earth Core Tribe's tactics are completely unconventional. Moreover, they also took advantage of the Eagle Nation's situation. This guerrilla blitzkrieg tactic can often hit the Eagle Nation's sore spot.

Don’t you like to argue? Don’t you all like to express your own opinions and stubbornly stick to your own ideas?

This is indeed the difference between the Eagle Kingdom and the Da Zhang Kingdom.

Even if the people of Dazhang Kingdom feel aggrieved, in the face of the overall situation and survival, they can still survive, put aside their differences, unite and try not to give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage.

Apart from the well-trained soldiers of the Eagle Country, almost all of those who have survived to this day in the survivor base are troublemakers, and they all like to make a fuss.

When problems really arise, it is difficult to have strong leadership that can quickly unite everyone.

This gave the Earth Core Clan many opportunities to take advantage of.

The Eagle Nation's top brass obviously also knew this, and naturally they repeatedly ordered all the major awakened bases and settlements to unite as much as possible, put aside their differences, be less individualistic, replace quarrels with cooperation, and work together for survival.

But this is obviously not in line with the national character of Eagle Country. Asking them to give up their individuality? To compromise and shut up for the sake of survival? This is even more painful than killing them.

If one has to keep his mouth shut and obey in order to survive, then is this survival really necessary?

Yes, this logic seems normal in Dazhang Country, but it sounds so absurd in Laoying Country. For many people, they simply cannot accept it.

Of course, the attacks of the Earth Core Tribe were still scattered, and were just sporadic guerrilla warfare. Soon, the Eagle Nation also realized this.

The forces currently deployed by the Earth Core Clan in the Eagle Country are not capable of launching large-scale sneak attacks in all directions. These raids are everywhere, and their significance in disgusting the Eagle Country far exceeds its strategic significance.

I can't hurt you, but I can make you uneasy, make you always frightened, and make you lose face.

The Eagle Nation was planning to launch a large-scale counterattack, but it was held back by the Earth Core Tribe. The Supervisory Bureau had to send a large number of powerful awakened people to counterattack the Earth Core Tribe's elusive raiders and formulate various strategies to counter them.

These strategies naturally worked. With the careful planning of the Eagle Nation, some results were achieved. They predicted the strongholds that the Earth Core Tribe could attack in advance, and set up an ambush in advance, which dealt a heavy blow to the Earth Core Tribe and killed a group of Earth Core Tribe masters.

However, during the battle, the intelligence received by the Supervisory Bureau was also extremely shocking. Among the awakened ones of the same level, the masters of the Earth Core Clan were still stronger than their awakened ones. It was nothing else, they were just experienced in battle, and their fierce fighting style was almost instinctive in their blood.

Even the warlike Eagle Country is still a level behind.

After the Supervisory Bureau of the Eagle Country obtained this information, it couldn't help but become suspicious of the Da Zhang Country.

Didn't the Dazhang Kingdom claim that it had set up a trap, setting up a special medicine among the Earth Core Tribe, taking the entire Earth Core Tribe into account, and incorporating the genes of surface humans into the special medicine, thereby changing the genes of the Earth Core Tribe and causing the Earth Core Tribe to continue to assimilate into the surface humans?
According to the Great Chapter Kingdom, this assimilation will definitely weaken the fighting genes of the Earth Core Tribe, weaken their fighting power, and weaken their fighting will...

At least the Eagle Nation Supervisory Bureau did not see this in these Earth Core Clan masters.

Of course, some people also mentioned that the assimilation mentioned by the Great Zhang Kingdom would take several generations to complete. For the current generation of the Earth Core Clan, the impact of this assimilation would not be particularly obvious for the time being.

Through these battles, the Eagle Nation's Supervisory Bureau has gained a deeper understanding of the Earth Core Clan's strength.

Although the masters of the Earth Core Tribe are strong, they are not invincible. The various awakening skills of the surface awakeners are actually matched with the Earth Core Tribe. With the powerful weapons of surface technology, at least in the battlefield of the surface world, it is impossible for the Earth Core Tribe to make a huge breakthrough on the front battlefield.

This is also the reason why the Earth Core Tribe has not launched a large-scale attack on the Eagle Country. At least for now, their manpower and material resources are not enough to launch such a large-scale full-scale war.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Earth Core Tribe is not so easy to mobilize in the Earth Core World. Although the Earth Core Tribe has an absolute population advantage, its mobilization ability is obviously very poor. The cost of each soldier has increased significantly, and the contradictions within the Earth Core World are constantly intensifying.

The Eagle Country also has its own information channels to obtain this information.

Therefore, the Eagle Nation's counterattack and retaliation were ultimately just a lot of noise but little action. It was not that they did not want to launch a large-scale attack, but that the Earth Core Tribe hid in their strongholds and took advantage of the geographical advantages to not give the Eagle Nation a chance to confront them head-on.

It will be difficult for the Eagle Country’s military to fully leverage its advantages.

The Supervisory Bureau alone cannot launch a large-scale war with the Earth Core Tribe. After all, it is just a confrontation between awakened people. Even if the Eagle Country has abundant capital, it is reluctant to spend so much.

Your Eagle Nation has a large population and many awakened people, but can it be larger than the Earth Core Tribe's population? Even if the casualty ratio is one to one, the Earth Core Tribe can accept it, but can the Eagle Nation accept it?

Besides, according to previous actual combat judgment, the awakened people of the Eagle Country cannot achieve such a one-to-one combat loss ratio. To kill a master of the Earth Core Clan, at least two or three masters of the same level must be paid.

This is undoubtedly a very bad deal.

Of course, it’s not completely without good news. These awakened people in the Eagle Nation’s Supervisory Bureau are making rapid progress and their experience is constantly increasing in repeated battles with the Earth Core Tribe.

Especially the reconnaissance work that had not been able to make a breakthrough before. As the lives of the awakened people continued to be added, the intelligence on the reconnaissance of the Earth Core Clan's stronghold became more and more detailed.

It can be said that the reason why the Earth Core Clan can stay in their stronghold is because of the underground fortifications that stretch for hundreds of miles beneath the stronghold.

The complex terrain made the military's weapons of mass destruction useless. The only option was to rely on the Awakened to charge forward.

In the area controlled by the Earth Core Tribe, if you are an ordinary awakener, you will basically be killed if you go there to scout. Even if there are those awakeners with powerful means who are lucky enough to come back alive, they can only wander around the outer areas. Once you go deep into the core area, almost no one can return safely.

In such a huge Eagle Country, isn't there any truly top-level awakener?

Naturally there is.

The Da Zhang Kingdom has immortal figures like the Yunhe Elder, and the Old Eagle Kingdom naturally has them too. They also have that kind of ancient existence.

The Eagle Country is also not short of young talents.

But the geniuses of the Eagle Country are more like the geniuses of the Earth Tribe in their personalities. They have a very high opinion of themselves and ordinary people cannot control them.

Unlike Jiang Yue and the others, it is not easy to get them to take action unless they are willing to do so, no matter how you coax or deceive them.

The Supervisory Bureau also used many of its connections to invite several top experts, but received no positive response.

There were two young geniuses who showed some interest and said they would go to the core of the Earth Clan's stronghold for reconnaissance, but they also put forward many requirements.

However, these requirements cannot be met by the Supervisory Bureau alone. Therefore, various wrangling and various rulings are needed, and only after every department involved is satisfied can a decision be made on whether these requirements can be met.

Right now, the process is still going on.

As for the young geniuses themselves, they were not in a hurry. Before the results came out, they naturally could not go to the Supervisory Bureau in advance to wait.

A genius has a genius' stature. He came here in advance to wait for news before he was sure whether he could meet the requirements? This was too cheap in the eyes of a genius.

Jiang Yue and his friends naturally had no idea about the strange things happening within the Eagle Country.

But this does not prevent them from seeing some problems as bystanders.

It seems that every department is very busy and has its own responsibilities, but it seems that most of the time, their energy is spent on internal friction.

When they deal with problems, they never seem to get to the heart of the matter.

Take the matter of the Earth Core Tribe building a teleportation array port for example. Many days have passed, and the Eagle Nation still hasn't discovered any clues.

Is it really that difficult to find? It is indeed a bit difficult. But as long as you send a top expert to conduct a careful investigation, with a little experience, you can definitely find the abnormality.

But there are actually quite a few top masters in the Eagle Country, but no one has been dispatched so far.

On the other hand, the Supervisory Bureau kept sending people to negotiate with Jiang Yue and his team, to supervise them, and to tell them that it would be best for them to leave Eagle Country as soon as possible.

Jiang Yue and his companions naturally wouldn't leave so easily, but on the surface they didn't seem to be causing any trouble and stayed well-behaved under the eyes of their observers.

If there is any action to be taken, it will be done in secret. With Jiang Yue and his team's current abilities, it is not difficult to avoid these mediocre spies.

In this way, Jiang Yue and his men became a bit of a deadbeat. However, the Eagle Country was in a state of panic, so it was naturally impossible for them to use force and expel them.
