None of the people who went out to scout the situation returned, which made the members of Congress who were staying in the Congress uneasy. Putting aside everything else, even if there were troublemakers outside who rebelled and broke in, at least there would be some commotion, right?
Many more people couldn't resist the urge to go out and take a look, but like the people before them, they all went out without making a sound, as if they had simply disappeared the moment they stepped out the door.
Just as the remaining people sensed something was wrong and were preparing to flee, the cultivators from Divine Land appeared.
At the speed of the monks, it would only take them a blink of an eye to rush into the hall where the parliament was located. In other words, to the members of parliament, it would only take them a moment to be distracted, and the entire hall would be surrounded by soldiers with weapons pointed at them.
They were very familiar with the soldiers' makeup and uniforms.
Although they had never seen them in person before, they had seen plenty of photos of these people when the military came to swindle funding every year.
Isn't that the army from Divine Land? How did they get to the Capitol?
They haven't received any battle reports from the front!
Several high-ranking military officials present were even skeptical, checking their phones to confirm that no one had reported this situation to them. The previous message was even a report from the front lines, saying that all the nuclear missiles intended to Head Strike had been intercepted.
It all felt like a dream; these people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Smack!"
Some people, not believing in superstition, slapped the person standing next to them, making that person cover their face and burst into tears.
"Fuck, are you crazy?"
The man who had been slapped was furious, but with a gun pointed at him, he couldn't do anything about it.
"I just wanted to see if this was a dream, but it seems it isn't. My hand is even a little sore from all the pulling."
The man shook his hand; it was clear that the slap had been delivered with considerable force.
So what do we do now?
"So what? We're already surrounded, what more do you want?"
Just as they were surrounded by the Divine Land cultivators and crowded together inside the parliament, several people entered from the doorway whose clothing was clearly different from that of ordinary soldiers.
"Hey, that's pretty lucky, they took them all in one go."
The group that entered was the old general and his entourage. After the cultivators took control of the entire parliament and the surrounding area, the few in the command center were getting restless. This was the Eagle Country, after all; if they came to arrest people, they had to come and take a look around the scene.
So after taking control of everyone in Congress, many personnel in the space carrier command excitedly passed through the portal and arrived at the lair of their former greatest enemy.
"Perfect, let's find a file to check and see if anyone is missing."
After entering the parliament, the old general first coldly surveyed the surrounded crowd, then spoke to a cultivator standing nearby.
"Okay, I'll go compare them right away."
The cultivator immediately took a few people, turned around, and left.
After giving a few words of advice, the old general then looked at the high-ranking officials of the Eagle Country present.
Pushing through the layers of people, he immediately spotted the current president of the Eagle Country in the crowd. He bore only a slight resemblance to the man the old general remembered. If the old general hadn't also seen him when he was young, he really wouldn't have recognized him.
"Wow, you've become young again?"
The old general took a few steps forward, and the people who had been blocking his way from the president of the Eagle Country quickly moved aside, revealing the president to the public.
"How did you manage to break in!"
The president of the Eagle Country spoke, his face full of confusion.
You'll find out soon enough.
The old general walked right up to him, only two steps away.
"I smell blood on you. You've paid a heavy price for this."
Although the old general still looks old, his cultivation level has not declined. You should know that at their age, they are basically national treasures of Divine Land. If they hadn't achieved success in their cultivation, they would never have been allowed to take up their posts.
As for appearance, everyone has different habits. Some people like to pursue the physique of their youth, while others prefer the weathered look of their old age.
The old general's nose was naturally very sensitive. The Eagle Country had no Spiritual Qi or traces of cultivation, yet he could still rejuvenate and look like he was in his twenties or thirties. He must have used something special.
Judging from the faint smell of blood emanating from him, this guy probably feeds on human blood.
"What's the price? What price? It's just spending a little more money."
The president of the Eagle Country smiled. In the Eagle Country, anything that can be obtained with money is not a problem.
"Your actions have indeed surprised me somewhat. It seems you've won this time after all."
He did possess some of the charisma of a warlord, and at this moment he showed no sign of being a prisoner.
"From ancient times to the present, we don't remember how many times Divine Land has won, but we remember exactly how many times it has lost."
"I knew it. You talk about peace, but deep down you hold grudges; it's become second nature. You shouldn't have..."
"The victor is king, the loser is villain; heroes don't dwell on past glories. Things have already progressed to this point, what's the point of speculating further?"
The old general smiled; the winner takes all—that's the smile of a victor.
"Please come, welcome to Divine Land."
He stepped aside slightly, making way for him.
"We haven't lost yet. The Eagle Country still has a large army on the front lines. Once they receive the news, the outcome will be uncertain."
Although the president of the Eagle Country said it, his body was very obedient, and he followed the path left by the cultivators from the Divine Land.
He was right. Although Divine Land had taken down the entire high command of the Eagle Country with a lightning-fast attack, the Eagle Country still had a considerable number of troops stationed on its territory. Moreover, the military and the government of the Eagle Country had always been at odds. Even though they had taken down everyone in the parliament, there were still many military figures. But given the current situation, there was a high probability that the entire Eagle Country military would become independent or even continue fighting.
However, judging from the current situation, these armies probably don't have the resources to deal with them right now.
Firstly, Divine Land's operation this time was extremely swift, a classic decapitation strike tactic. The speed of the operation was so fast that it left the Eagle Country with virtually no time to notify them. Secondly, most of the roads in the Eagle Country are currently paralyzed, especially on the outskirts of cities, making it difficult for even the military to enter for the time being.
Even if an air force were to break through from the air, their well-prepared air defenses would be no joke.
Moreover, apart from the capital, all other cities in the Eagle Country have been hit by nuclear weapons to varying degrees. The Eagle Country ' army is also made up of people, and people have families, parents, brothers, relatives and friends.
Under such circumstances, upon hearing that their hometown had been attacked by a nuclear bomb, most individuals would naturally prepare to go back to rescue their families or check on their relatives. To be honest, the cohesion within the entire military would be quite good if it were only 30%.
In short, the Eagle Country is currently in a mess, and people are needed to clean it up everywhere.
