Chapter 285 A Strange "War"

At first, not many people took this "coalition" of countries that didn't even have a decent army seriously.

No one thought that such an army could have any impact on Wakanda.

After all, Wakanda has been certified by the Alliance and the Earth Alliance and has been labeled as a "superpower".

Admittedly, many people have doubts about whether this little-known country truly possesses such formidable strength.

But the vast majority of people still believe it.

However, some people are quite pleased with the emergence of this "African coalition".

These people are from intelligence agencies around the world.

Although Tony has held a press conference and presented strong evidence.

However, it's impossible for various national powers to completely believe it, especially their intelligence agencies, which are very interested in learning more about the true situation in Wakanda.

Of course, what interests me most is the vast vibranium reserves in Wakanda that Tony mentioned.

Even the five major merchants didn't talk about it.

So their intelligence agents set off the moment Tony provided them with information about Wakanda.

However, this was precisely the purpose of the alliance releasing information about Wakanda.

Just as Tony had told them, Wakanda's outer defenses were extremely tight, and there was also an energy barrier covering it. Not only could they not get in, but they also lost a lot of manpower.

This is even with the fact that the agents of these countries are now all equipped with the top-notch technology and equipment possessed by the original Earth Alliance.

If it's still the same old equipment... tsk...

However, this also initially confirms Wakanda's extraordinary nature.

However, how to conduct further investigations has become a problem for these intelligence agencies.

The emergence of this "African coalition" provided them with an opportunity to further observe the Wakanda army.

Although they had clashed with the Wakandas before, it's important to understand that small-scale skirmishes between intelligence personnel are completely different from large-scale battles between armies.

Admittedly, this "African coalition" lacked equipment and discipline, but its sheer numbers made up for it.

Tens of thousands of people!
Wherever this army went, chaos ensued, and they committed all sorts of atrocities.

However, apart from the locals, not many people take this kind of thing seriously.

After all, similar things happen almost every day in Africa.

The difference this time is that all the countries and regions that suffered along the way blamed Wakanda for the disaster.

So when this army arrived around Wakanda, an extremely shocking situation arose.

That means the army, which originally numbered only 30,000, grew to over 100,000...

Of course, most of them were not soldiers in the true sense, but women and children.

There was no other way. Having lost their homes, property, and food, and with their own country refusing to help, they had no choice but to follow this "army."

This is basically similar to how rebel armies in ancient times coerced the people into joining their ranks.

Therefore, once this army was formed, not only were intelligence personnel from various countries around the world stunned.

The Wakandas were also stunned.

Faced with such an army, should we start fighting or not?
Fight? It's actually very easy. The air force can launch a carpet bombing and wipe them out completely.

The problem is that most of them are elderly, weak, women and children.

If that were to happen, Wakanda, already ostracized by the world, would have no chance of gaining international recognition.

Moreover, Wakanda itself must be facing major internal problems—despite Wakanda's long-standing policy of seclusion.

But in fact, there has always been a desire within the organization to connect with the world and help our African "compatriots".

After all, Wakanda wasn't really poor, so its people were mostly highly educated.

Since one receives higher education, one is inevitably influenced by external ideas.

So Wakanda has always had a "worldly faction," but it has been suppressed for a long time.

A prime example is Nakia, the future fiancée of the young Black Panther T'Challa.

He has always remained outside of Wakanda, helping his "fellow countrymen".

Therefore, when faced with this special "invader," conflict undoubtedly broke out within Wakanda.

Then an even stranger situation arose. A disorganized army, accompanied by a group of elderly, weak, women, and children, swaggered around outside Wakanda's defensive barriers every day.

Wakanda, however, chose to bury its head in the sand... hoping that this magical army would retreat on its own due to logistical constraints.

However, this situation did not last long.

The commander of the "coalition" saw that the Wakandans were too scared to come out because of their "army". How could that be allowed?

If this continues, the food they brought won't last more than a few days.

So this "army" began to disperse and attack the border regions of Wakanda.

Although Wakanda's main territory was shrouded in an energy shield.

But in reality, there are still quite a few people who live in the outlying areas.

Despite the impact of the previous situation, people from these regions have entered the heart of Wakanda at the call of the royal family.

However, wealth such as land cannot be taken with you.

So, under the commander's arrangement, the people who had been coerced into coming here occupied these lands and began to cultivate and hunt.

They seem to be preparing to settle permanently on the outskirts of Wakanda.

This made the Wakandas restless.

They immediately dispatched troops from the border tribes to wage war against this army.

Although Wakanda's population is not large, the armies of its frontier tribes are far more numerous than the few shown in the movie.

There are still tens of thousands of people.

Of course, such a large-scale operation is not necessary to deal with this "African coalition" which does not have much heavy firepower.

A single cavalry force of about a thousand men utterly routed this "African coalition".

Faced with the formidable Wakanda warriors, the coalition soldiers offered little resistance and surrendered.

But the war did not end there.

Defeating this coalition was easy, but dealing with them was a major problem.

Lock them up? That's a waste of your own food.

Kill him? Definitely not.

As labor? What a joke! Wakanda's heavy labor force is mostly fully automated. Using these people would not only require supporting them, but would also unnecessarily reduce work efficiency.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that releasing them was the best option.

So, after all their weapons were confiscated, the coalition forces were released.

The problem is, this "coalition" has tasted success.

Although they were only detained for a few days, they were well-fed during that time.

In their original hometown, however, having enough to eat was not an issue.

Then the Wakandas discovered that things were getting worse.

These "compatriots" refused to leave.

Even if they are forcibly driven away, these people will return to the outskirts of Wakanda once the Wakanda people leave.

They simply refused to leave Wakanda and became "refugees".

And they cried their hearts out.

In this situation, it's natural that some compassionate Wakandas would want to help them.

Over time, some people made contact with the Wakan people.

Some refugee girls, in particular, are eager to hook up with a Wakanda man.

For a time, the situation seemed to be trending towards peace.

However, many people overlook the fact that while most of these "refugees" are women and children who have been coerced, some of them are not to be trifled with.

Even saying that a significant portion of them have humanity is an understatement.

And so, the terrible incident occurred.
