Time flies; almost a month has passed since Li Xingkong successfully crafted the Space Bag.
Li Xingkong hasn't been idle this past month either. After he indicated that he could make a few more Space Bag, the entire nuclear power plant Heavenly Capital, just to provide Li Xingkong with enough energy so that he can create more space-related equipment.
Besides the first Space Bag used for storage, Li Xingkong specially crafted a small metal ball the size of a longan to serve as a carrier for the External Core.
Then he tried to forge a large teleportation device, which looked like a ring. When it was unfolded, it could open up a space entrance of nearly 50 square meters around it. This thing was prepared by Li Xingkong for Divine Land, specifically for the purpose of long-range deployment of troops.
Over the course of this month, the overall situation on Earth Star gradually became clear, and in just a few days, the entire world's landscape changed dramatically.
Basically, all the weak and small countries have found their allies, and everyone has formed alliances. The world order has become more stable, as if everyone has taken a break from their busy schedules and secretly caught a breath.
With Divine Land's support, Stick Country was defeated by Chao Country in just a few days. However, after the Stick Country, internal conflicts broke out in Chao Country. Due to its constitution and strict foreign embargo, this was the first time the Chao Country people had seen such a decadent lifestyle Stick Country South Korea, and they were like people who had just entered the city and were captivated by it.
As for the Mongol Yuan, that place is too remote, and besides, taking it back would mean antagonizing the Russia. Divine Land doesn't plan to start a war with the Russia right now, after all, the north is mostly permafrost, sparsely populated, Russia population is also small, so frankly, it's not very valuable.
Even the Russia themselves are scrambling to develop in Europe; they themselves are unwilling to live in this harsh, cold land.
While it's true that befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones is a traditional and effective strategy for foreign conquest, given the current situation, Russia and Divine Land could potentially work together to take down the United Eagle Country first.
Just when Divine Land thought the current situation had stabilized somewhat and that it could begin initial infrastructure construction on the newly acquired territory, a new situation arose.
Besides Russia, Divine Land has another neighboring country: India.
India is indeed a rather outrageous country, so outrageous that just mentioning it evokes no positive image in people's minds.
At this moment, it was the India who suddenly started the trouble.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it a challenge; it would just be that he was a bit slow to react.
While other countries are rushing to form alliances, India is still secretly competing with Divine Land.
Many small countries have come to Divine Land to pledge allegiance, but India, instead of seeking an ally, assumes that its international standing will remain unshaken and that all countries will flock to it.
While quietly waiting for neighboring small countries to beg him to join, he also began to boast about his own strength on the international stage.
However, the problem is that Divine Land's courage is something it has truly earned through battle. Since the founding of Divine Land, it has fought against every powerful nation on Earth Star and won against them all, which has laid the foundation for Divine Land's current status.
Although India has developed quite well, its military record is terrible; it has barely won any foreign wars. Under these circumstances, why would anyone choose it...?
While everyone else was actively seeking survival, it stood there like an idiot, only starting to India when it realized that almost all countries had already booked tours.
It would be so embarrassing if no one came to join it; it would have to find at least one small country to come to.
So just a few days after Divine Land started its infrastructure construction plan, India suddenly began its advance into Nepal, which is now a new province of Divine Land, without consulting Divine Land at all. It seemed that Nepal intended to directly send troops to occupy the area.
This is outrageous! It's Divine Land's territory for one day, and it will be Divine Land's territory for all eternity.
It is naturally intolerable for territory to be occupied by another country. Although Divine Land has not yet sent anyone to take over this place, it has already been incorporated into Divine Land. The people who were originally Nepal are now citizens of Divine Land.
Faced with such provocation, Divine Land naturally could not tolerate it. The space carrier that was originally patrolling the southeast coast immediately moved towards India, and several military regions throughout Divine Land also began to mobilize. A large number of cultivators and new firepower were transferred to Nepal via Southeast Asia and rushed to the front line.
Is India's fighting strength strong or weak? To say it's weak would be a joke. Even in the current world order, which has been consolidated into several major powers, India's fighting strength is still not at the bottom, after all, it also has a very well-developed basic industrial base.
But to call it strong would be a bit of an exaggeration. If Earth Star were a comedy setting, it would probably be the strongest, since it does indeed look like a comedic character living in modern times.
When the first batch of troops from Divine Land arrived at the front lines and began setting up defenses and conducting reconnaissance, they discovered that the India were still using ancient tactics, like not sheathing their weapons for three days after entering a city. Although these tactics were slightly more civilized, targeting only property and most women, they were still Dao of Humanity in modern times.
Moreover, these guys haven't even reached any of the so-called major cities yet; they've only occupied a few small towns along the border, and they've already started this kind of behavior. It's no joke that the crime rate on the India side is so high.
Faced with the India army looting the town, the vanguard of the Divine Land did not hesitate at all. What were they waiting for? Wasn't this the best time to attack?
They immediately deployed their heavy firepower to block the India army's retreat, and then the cultivators and infantry from the Divine Land began to enter the fray.
After all, there are still many civilians in the towns. India doesn't care, but Divine Land can't afford to be indifferent. These are reserve citizens of Divine Land, and at this critical juncture, many small countries that have recently joined Divine Land are watching. Naturally, this matter must be handled properly.
Although infantrymen fear urban warfare the most, given its inherent complexity and difficulty, it's not a problem for cultivators.
