“Unfilial baffoons!”
Harry, Cora, and the others growled angrily.
Those elderlies may be cruel and unreasonable at times, but they stood their ground when it mattered and were
honorable.
Abandoning the country they were born and raised in… Becoming a traitor that everyone would hate and insult…
They couldn’t bring themselves to do something that shameful.
“Those unfilial monsters transferred most of our assets overseas and also diverted most of the wealth Wildefield
gave us. Gah! I am so angry. This is so embarrassing.”
The older generation felt ashamed of their young, but Henry and the others didn’t care about it at all. In fact, they
were proud of what they did.
It didn’t take long before Henry and his gang reached Zarain.
They enjoyed Zarain’s warm welcome, and at that moment, all of them were rich with abundant assets.
Hence, they were given VIP treatment.
Zarain even rewarded them with a manor of their own and featured them in the nation’s newspaper.
All that was thanks to the fact that Melanie’s boyfriend was a foreigner.

They were having a blast in Zarain and told other members of the Lopez and Black families all about their lives
there.
The boys wanted to convince everyone to head over.
Their stories made it so that more and more citizens were leaving the country.
The Dragonites were too busy to do anything.
The situation suggested that Erudia would fall soon, and the other countries were obviously taking advantage of the
situation.
They were killing two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, they absorbed all of Erudia’s rich and powerful.
On the other, they messed Erudia’s citizens up and got them on edge.
There were times when rumors and debates were more powerful than weapons of mass destruction. That was one
of those times.
Crushing the citizen’s mental defense was the most effective attack on Erudia.
They got Erudians to stop believing in their country; they made the people think they were all doomed.
The psychological distortion would make it so that Erudia would truly fall.
The Ruling Union crushed the wars at the three main warzones, and the country’s fourth layer of defense seemed
like it would fall soon.
It was only a matter of time before the fifth defense barrier fell as well.
The Ruling Union had even announced its plans globally. They would break through the fifth layer of defense in one
week and would pillage all of Erudia.
Terror rained down all across Erudia as soon as the news was shared.
The citizens started living in a hellhole of hopelessness.
At first, everyone had faith in the country and thought that Erudia would never fall.
The continual loss of wars, however, cast a shadow in everybody’s heart.
Things had turned even worse after their enemy set a timeline.
The announcement was no different than telling everyone how much time they had left to live.
Death was not scary.
Knowing that your days were numbered — the anxiety that came from that knowledge was the true killer.
The invisible torture and pressure spread all over the citizen’s hearts and infected the warriors’ spirits as well.
The soldiers of Erudia started losing hope, and the country fell into a deeper ditch.
That was the impact of a psychological attack, and their enemy had undoubtedly maximized the damage done.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDoom and gloom showered across all of Erudia.
Add that grief to the way the traitors were constantly urging everyone to leave…
Erudia’s situation became a huge contrast against the lives of the people living overseas.
It felt like anywhere outside the border was heaven, and anywhere within the border was hell.
That got the people in Erudia on the verge of breaking down.
In one of the training bases in Erudia.
The man in a windbreaker, Bruce, was with the council members of the Ruling Union.
“Erudia’s major defenses are all down.”
“Anger is abundant within the country, and lives are miserable there.”
“Their citizens are in pain, and the country is Hell on Earth now.”
“It’s only a matter of time before we take Erudia down!”
They grinned happily, proud of their accomplishments.
That was when Bruce chuckled and pointed out, “That won’t suffice. We need to make things worse and crush the
nation’s faith entirely.”
“Oh? I’m guessing you already have a plan, Bruce?”
Everyone turned to the guy.
“Of course I do!”
