The natural disaster is over; all that remains is some cleanup work.
After resting for a while, Tang Cheng's Magic Power recovered considerably. He quickly cast several healing spells on himself to restore his physical condition.
They did manage to avert the natural disaster, but the cost was extremely high. Those who were just fighting alongside them were now buried at sea.
However, now is not the time to think. Although the natural disaster is over, there is still a lot of mess to deal with, and there is still a lot of cleanup work to be done. He cannot rest now.
Moreover, they also planned to take this opportunity to completely complete the Nation-Protecting Grand Formation.
The tsunami is just the first and most obvious natural disaster. After the eruption of Mount Fuji, the massive volcanic clouds and heat emitted will also affect the climate of the entire Earth Star, causing abnormal weather this year.
Abnormal climate conditions would severely impact the production of various crops and could even affect the way of life for all Earth Star People. To keep these effects out of Divine Land, the completion of the Nation-Protecting Grand Formation is imperative.
While they were busy with the aftermath, assisting in the construction of the grand formation, and collecting the remains of the cultivators who perished in the natural disaster, a massive aerospace mothership slowly flew over from the inland of Divine Land, heading towards the direction of Cherry Blossom Country.
Although the speed of the space carrier is not slow, it is still somewhat insufficient compared to the speed of the cultivators. Otherwise, if the entire space carrier were simply blocked along the coast, there would be no need for the cultivators. No matter how big the tsunami is, it would not be able to affect a space carrier of such a size.
The space carrier flew over Tang Cheng and his group. If you looked up and looked closely, you could see squads of soldiers standing ready on the entire space carrier.
In addition to disaster relief, they had another mission during this operation.
That means going to garrison troops in Cherry Blossom Country and, incidentally, to use force to suppress some illegal and criminal activities.
As a defeated nation in the previous World War, Cherry Blossom Country was not permitted to have its own domestically organized armed forces. Previously, it was the Eagle Country that stationed troops on its territory. However, according to the treaties signed after the defeat, all victorious parties in World War II were entitled to station troops on the island, including Divine Land Russia.
However, for various reasons at the time, we did not show up.
The troops stationed on Cherry Blossom Country Island have long since been transferred along with the high-ranking officials of Cherry Blossom Country, leaving only an empty military base as a mere formality.
Since the Eagle Country withdrew from the agreement, as a party to the agreement, we naturally have the right to accept the military deployment of the entire Cherry Blossom Country. This is a completely reasonable and legal action.
This space carrier expedition carried nearly two army groups, various modern heavy firepower, and the latest technology and Dharma Aspect- based hovering armored vehicles, etc., for no other reason than to completely take over the entire Cherry Blossom Country Island.
The space carrier traversed the entire sea area, approaching Cherry Blossom Country Island from the direction of the Yellow Sea. From Cherry Blossom Country's side, both radar and the naked eye could clearly see a giant floating island slowly moving towards them.
However, at this moment, the resistance forces that could be organized on Cherry Blossom Country Island were extremely limited, almost non-existent.
Firstly, the garrison from the Eagle Country deserted, taking a large amount of weaponry with them. Secondly, even the distant Divine Land mainland suffered such severe damage from the tsunami; one can only imagine what happened to the Cherry Blossom Country itself.
The drastic geological changes were too much for even earthquake-resistant buildings like those in Cherry Blossom Country to withstand. At this time, most of Cherry Blossom Country was in a state of post-disaster, and many people had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside the island.
Even if aliens were to descend upon us right now, no one would pay much attention. After all, for those who are alive, their family and friends are the most important thing; everything else is secondary.
The space carrier sailed to the skies above Cherry Blossom Country Island in a grand manner, without any warning or interception from any fighter jets.
Not only civilian buildings, but also these military buildings were severely damaged. It can only be said that they were powerless to stop them.
Moreover, after such a devastating disaster, most of the communication equipment in Cherry Blossom Country was cut off. Even if the high-ranking officials of Cherry Blossom Country were overseas, they would have no way to issue orders. Apart from telegrams, there was no way for Cherry Blossom Country to obtain information from the outside world at this time.
To restore communications, we'll probably have to wait until the next round of infrastructure construction is completed.
However, at this stage, given the intensity of this geological change, other countries are only taking a wait-and-see approach and have not immediately organized rescue efforts.
Who knows if this geological change is just the beginning? After all, earthquakes are always followed by aftershocks of varying magnitudes before and after the main quake. The rescue teams will absolutely not risk coming until this situation has completely subsided.
From the moment the space carrier entered the skies above Cherry Blossom Country Island, the military aboard began its operation. According to the pre-departure plan, each group carried varying amounts of heavy firepower and was directly airdropped from the space carrier, beginning its advance towards the planned urban and rural areas.
Equipping them with weapons is also to defend against attacks from criminals. After a disaster, many people often take the opportunity to do illegal things, which is unavoidable. What's wrong with equipping rescue workers with some weapons for their safety?
Their objectives were relatively simple: first, to search for and rescue the Divine Land People still remaining on Cherry Blossom Country Island; and second, to take over the planned cities by force.
It's important to understand that the number of Divine Land People on Earth Star is vast, far exceeding the 1.6 billion people on the Divine Land mainland. According to statistics, one in every seven people on Earth Star today is from Divine Land People. They may not be citizens of Divine Land, but they still have Divine Land People blood flowing in their veins.
It's obviously unrealistic to bring so many Divine Land People back to Divine Land to start their cultivation. Even if Divine Land wanted to do that, there wouldn't be enough places to accommodate them all.
Moreover, after living away from home for a long time, some people even have trouble making a living after returning to Divine Land. Different countries have different national conditions. If you are used to living in a certain place, you will only feel extremely uncomfortable if you suddenly change your environment.
Everyone likes to live in their own comfort zone; this is a universal truth.
Therefore, even though cultivation has now begun in Divine Land, news of this cultivation has not been deliberately blocked from the outside world, but there are still many people who have not returned for various reasons.
The same applies to Cherry Blossom Country, where there are many Divine Land People. In fact, in the past, it didn't matter if you didn't speak Japanese when you traveled to Cherry Blossom Country; you could speak Divine Land anywhere.
Many of the restaurants, eateries, takeout, and delivery services here are handled by Divine Land People.
