Ji Chaoyang's words stirred up a huge wave of shock in everyone's heart.
Xu Ying trembled slightly and bit her lips.
"Tomorrow?!" Li Wenxi exclaimed, "How can it be so soon? Tomorrow?"
Doesn’t the other party need to prepare?
Isn’t the other party still in internal chaos?
Xu Xin touched his chin and sighed, "I knew this day would come soon, but I didn't expect it to be this soon."
At this time, Ji Chaoyang shared the details in the [Explorers] group.
The sky was filled with overwhelming aircraft, covering the entire sky, and there were even extremely huge warships flying in the air.
On the ground, there were endless mutant creatures, as densely packed as an ant colony.
According to Ji Chaoyang, the scene was so eye-catching that it made people feel dizzy and a sense of despair rose from deep within their hearts.
The enemy's army was so huge that it made it difficult for people to even think of resisting.
Of course, these were what Xu Xin and the others had anticipated, but this day had arrived a little too early.
After Ji Chaoyang finished speaking, no one in the group responded for a long time.
"Why...why?" Li Wenxi was puzzled. "Why did they come so quickly? Don't they look down on us? How could they act so quickly...in just one day!"
"...Those who maintain order are sentinels." Xu Xin looked up at Li Wenxi and said, "Don't forget one thing."
"What's the matter?" Li Wenxi and Xu Ying both looked at him.
"Internal conflicts among the alien invaders." Xu Xin said in a deep voice.
"...Internal conflict?" Xu Ying frowned, then a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes. "Oh... Is that why they're so eager to attack..."
"What do you mean?" Li Wenxi was still a little confused. "Are you talking about their current internal chaos? Shouldn't this internal conflict make it even more difficult for them to act?"
"That's what I thought at first," Xu Xin said, glancing out the window and towards the direction the monster was in. "But then I asked the monster in detail, and it said that the military power over there is still completely controlled by its 'father.'"
In other words, the other side's military power was not dispersed at all.
Similar to...warlord rule.
The power of this ruling class is more based on force. If the force is not dispersed, then at most the ordinary individuals on the other side will be dissatisfied with the status quo, but they will have no way to deal with the ruling class.
But it is not without impact.
The earth is a huge mine for them.
If the individuals below are dissatisfied and start to slack off, it will not be a good thing for the people above.
They either have to appease the masses or enforce mining labor. Otherwise, the individuals below will secretly disobey, the Earth's mineral resources will decline, and they will not be able to account to their home planet.
Xu Xin also asked the monster in detail about this, and the other party did not implement any forced mining labor.
After all, each individual alien invader will hold certain weapons in his hands. Although they are not strong and are far from enough to compete with the army, they can easily cause chaos.
Besides, the "source of life" of each of them is controlled by the warlords. The people below cannot make any big waves, so there is no need to implement high pressure, otherwise it will be more likely to cause trouble, and it may give birth to some real separatist organizations.
But the result of leaving it alone is that the people below are dissatisfied, and the group of alien invaders is becoming less and less cohesive and turbulent.
"Ah... I get it. Divert the conflict!" Li Wenxi's eyes widened. "Use the external crisis on our side to suppress the internal conflicts first!"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
In this situation, what can make them temporarily work together and unite?
Create an imaginary enemy, then unite against the outside world and divert internal conflicts.
Xu Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he was not a politician, this situation was very common thousands of years ago.
Especially a country with an army spread all over the world, has mastered this trick to perfection.
Very similar to the current situation with alien invaders.
"Since you've already thought of it, why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Wenxi punched him lightly.
"What's the point of saying it earlier?" Xu Xin spread his hands. "I'm not entirely sure either. This kind of uncertain news will do nothing but create panic. Besides, according to my deduction, even if they're quick, it'll take them three or four days. Three or four days is a year in the World Tree. What's there to worry about?"
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi pursed her lips.
"Ah!" Xu Ying suddenly screamed, picked up Coco who was napping beside her and started to stroke her violently.
“…Hmm?! Hmm?!”
Coco was awakened, her little face full of fear and confusion.
"This is too fast! I... I always thought that I could spend at least another year in the World Tree!" Xu Ying sat back in her seat holding Coco, with a look of despair on her face.
"Tomorrow... tomorrow... today is already halfway over!"
Xu Ying counted the time on her fingers and said, "So, there are only a little over two months left?"
Two months is actually plenty of time for explorers who have already prepared.
But for Xu Ying...
These may be the last two months of her life.
"No... don't worry too much! As long as we don't use the high-end weapons you brought back from another time and space, you will be fine, right?" Li Wenxi hurriedly comforted.
