Chapter 99: The End of the Red Heart Society (5k)

[In July of the 141st year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Winter Empire was destroyed, placing a heavy strain on the Red Heart Society's southern defenses.]

[Even the number of Abyss Lords attacking the southern border has surpassed the eastern border's defense line.]

After all, how could a massive demonic tide that destroyed the Winter Empire and forced the Winter Empire's royal family to flee overseas be so easy to deal with?

[Fortunately, the Abyss Titan did not reach the southern defense line, which gave the Red Heart Army a lot of breathing space.]

[Even so, the southern border defense line is still in danger.]

[After asking Elder Jun and Elder Jian to help defend the eastern border, you led the Red Heart Regiment to urgently support the southern border.]

[Thanks to your arrival, the morale of the Southern Guard and the Red Heart Army has been greatly boosted.]

[At the same time, with the support of the Dou Qi field, the southern border defense line remained in a relatively stable range.]

[Although your professional level has increased by one level, the strength of your body and soul, including the content of fighting spirit in your body, has also increased to a certain extent.]

[But under such long-term consumption, these improvements seem insignificant. ]

[Therefore, the continued expansion of the Dou Qi field still consumes your lifespan.]

[You didn't choose to deliberately conceal this matter.]

【no need!】

[The reduction in your lifespan will be directly reflected in your appearance. The change in your dark hair color and the formation of wrinkles on your face are all evidence of the rapid elapse of your lifespan.]

When everyone in the Red Heart Society learned about this, they felt like a huge rock was weighing down their hearts, and they were extremely depressed.

[For them, the leader was willing to burn his own life.]

[Throughout history, has anyone in a high position ever been able to do this?]

[The emperors of those empires regarded the leader as the ruler of the Red Heart Society, but the word "ruler" is clearly an insult to the leader!]

[If the leaders are like this, why should they care about their lives?]

[Thus, in the battle on the southern frontier, each Red Heart soldier burned their souls and destroyed their bodies, using this last bit of violent power to launch a final attack on the powerful abyss monsters.]

[Use flesh and blood to build a defense line! ]

【Use soul to blast the enemy! 】

[Anything that can be burned, used, or activated will unleash powerful force in the hands of the Red Heart Army.]

[And in the extreme tests of life and death, professionals constantly break through the limitations of their own skills, relying on the combined influence of the unknown to elevate their original skills to a level that should not be there.]

[Even worse, while burning their souls and bodies, they resonate with their own innate abilities.]

[At the final moment of the battle, relying on this final resonance power, without relying on various precious materials, his own talent was sublimated and reached a higher level.]

[The battlefield is extremely dangerous! ]

[Similarly, the battlefield is also a place full of miracles.]

[Any loyal warrior who can survive this endless tug-of-war is, without exception, the elite among the elite.]

[The extraordinary materials and various precious items dropped by the abyssal monsters after their death, as well as the military merits earned by the loyal warriors on the battlefield, are all processed in an orderly manner.]

[While you, the leader of the Red Heart Society, personally went to the battlefield and burned your life to defend, the Red Heart Society's top leaders, who were fanatically loyal to you, also followed your orders.]

Perhaps there is corruption at the grassroots and mid-level levels due to inadequate supervision.

[But among the top leaders of the Red Heart Society, whom you carefully selected, this kind of corruption absolutely does not exist.]

[The leader I admire most, the one I'm willing to sacrifice my life for and everything for, is fighting on the front lines. Who would want to hold the entire Red Heart Society back at this moment?]

【What goes around comes around! 】

【It has been like this since ancient times! 】

[Because of your absolute strictness in self-discipline and your complete rejection of personal enjoyment and entertainment, the top brass of the Red Heart Society also maintain a similarly simple demeanor.]

Even Lin Xue, known as the second-in-command of the Red Heart Society, matches you in every aspect, including three meals a day, clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

[According to the Chixin Society's management regulations, she can enjoy higher, better, and more perfect treatment.]

"But Lin Xue wants to challenge you. You, a leader, live such a simple life. What right do they have to enjoy it?"

【As for marriage and family? 】

[My ideal hasn't been realized yet, so how can I talk about personal matters?]

[That so-called love, in front of the extremely lofty ideal of the heart, is so insignificant that it is invisible! ]

Even before she met you, Lin Xue was a girl who loved buying all kinds of clothes and skirts, and loved makeup and skincare. She even imagined traveling to various places in the Federation once she became financially independent.

[Go to the mountaintop to breathe, go to the beach to play in the waves, go to the grassland to stroll, go to the woods to relax]

[But all these ideas, all the dreams that once existed, need to stand aside in the face of true naked ideals! ]

If her simple life could keep the Chixin Society peaceful and prosperous, then even if it meant just steamed buns and pickles every day, she wouldn't be reluctant at all!

[Of course, power is also a person's best beauty agent. ]

Although everything she did was for the development of the Red Heart Society, in the process, she experienced feelings she had never imagined.

[At least she could overthrow the Federation with one kick, something she had never thought of.]

[You are like this, Lin Xue is like this, Deng Qi, Wang Meng and others are like this as well. Even if the other members of the Red Heart Society have their own little thoughts, they will maintain their integrity under this trend.]

When corruption rarely occurs in an organization, it is destined to grow rapidly.

[The same is true in the military.]

Even though the Red Heart Army and the Guards suffered heavy casualties due to the impact on the Eastern and Southern Frontiers, with the Red Heart Army's over a billion reserve troops, these losses were quickly replaced.

[Even in this high-intensity war, the average level of the Red Heart Army is constantly climbing.]

[The situation is also slowly developing in a positive direction.]

[In September of the 141st year of the Transcendent Calendar, the summoned beast obtained by the White Eagle Empire through sacrificing the royal family of the Sunset Empire was torn to pieces on the spot by a giant winged demon.]

Although the two-winged demon was killed on the spot by the bombardment of various super-large energy weapons and the collective attack of several ninth-level professionals, the fall of the summoned beast meant that the White Eagle Empire had lost a top-tier combat force.

[In today's increasingly tense war situation, this is undoubtedly fatal.]

[So, the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire contacted you again.]

[Now the Abyss World is invading on a large scale, and the threat of destruction is imminent.]

[If you want to survive, if you want to continue, the only way is to unite! ]

Only by gathering all the fighting power of both sides and putting all their strength into the fight against the abyss can both sides have a chance of survival.

【According to the rules that have been in place since ancient times, the weak obey the strong.】

[Although the Red Heart Society has more military personnel than the White Eagle Empire, its military's combat effectiveness is also stronger than that of the White Eagle Empire.]

[However, the White Eagle Empire has more rank-9 professionals, and the quality and quantity of their large and super-large military weapons far surpass those of the Red Heart Society.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society should gather all its strength and relocate to the White Eagle Empire.

[According to the relevant regulations of the White Eagle Empire, if the Red Heart Society is willing to come, you can be appointed as the Speaker of the Senate, and you will also be given thirty seats in the Senate and fifty seats in the House of Commons.]

[The White Eagle Empire Emperor's ridiculous conditions made you not want to bother with him at all.]

[This is treating the Chixin Society as traitors! ]

[What kind of good person would start a cooperation discussion like this?]

[The lion's mouth is wide open, isn't it?]

You will too!

[So you directly demanded that all combatants of the White Eagle Empire be incorporated into the Red Heart Society.]

[Before coming here, the White Eagle Empire's royal family and top professionals must sign a rule contract pledging eternal loyalty to the Red Heart Society, and also a soul contract pledging not to harm any Red Heart Society members.]

As expected, after hearing this, the White Eagle Empire Emperor angrily declared that you were humiliating the White Eagle Empire.

[You don't shy away from this at all.]

[Why didn't you seem so excited when you said the conditions to humiliate the Red Heart Society?]

"I just slightly modified your conditions, and you can't stand it?"

[Such a character still needs to be honed! ]

[After saying this, you unilaterally hung up the call with the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire.]

[The White Eagle Empire's cooperation was completely devoid of any sincerity.]

[The other party might even just want to see how the Red Heart Society is doing, and if that doesn't work out, see if they can take them down in one fell swoop and develop themselves.]

[After the integration, will he let himself be the Speaker of the House of Lords? ]

What do you think?

[The power of the House of Lords is far less than that of the House of Commons, and in the White Eagle Empire it is more like a puppet mascot.]

【Why did you go there? 】

[He was imprisoned in the past, and then he found the right opportunity to kill him?]

[In the end, it was still the case of eight bullets in the back, and it was diagnosed as suicide.]

[As expected, the White Eagle Empire is a regime jointly governed by aristocratic families and the royal family. It is just as arrogant and contemptuous as the aristocratic families of the Federation.]

Even though his life was extremely unhappy, and even though the White Eagle Empire was on the verge of collapse, he still acted high and mighty, as if his cooperation with the Red Heart Society was a reward to them.

[He's really used to being a big shot, and he thinks the world revolves around his will.]

Even without mentioning these, joining the White Eagle Empire contradicts the Red Heart Society's political aspirations.

If the Red Heart Society can be incorporated into the White Eagle Empire, why overthrow the Federation?

Do you really think that social change and overall innovation are just a dinner party between relatives?

In October of the 141st year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Red Heart Society spent a huge amount of money, mobilizing a massive amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build a super-large fortress in the southern rear of the Federation based on the existing fortresses.

[Each piece of the fortress is cast from black iron.] [And during the casting process, each piece of black iron is engraved with magic array patterns.]

[Luckily, the demonic tide is surging now, and the number of abyssal monsters is too great to be slain.]

[Otherwise, with just the reserves in the Red Heart Society's treasury, it might not be possible to build such a massive fortress.]

[The Southern Border has been breached. This is the consensus of almost all the top leaders of the Red Heart Society.]

[After all, the southern border defense line has been breached five times recently, with small-scale collapses occurring three times.]

If it weren't for the bravery of the Red Heart Army soldiers, who risked their lives to recapture the defense line, the southern border defense line would have collapsed long ago.

[The defense system built by the federal inspector uses the best materials to build the worst defense lines and magic arrays.]

[If the Federation doesn't fall, who will?]

Therefore, the Chixin Society wisely built a fortress in the rear to resist the Abyss Army in this critical moment.

[This fortress is named——Red Heart Fortress.]

In December of the 141st year of the Transcendent Calendar, with the full efforts of the Red Heart Society and the 12-hour continuous supply of tens of millions of Transcendents, a miracle in construction history was born: the Red Heart Fortress.

[And in the past few months, in order to resist the surging demonic tide and allow the Red Heart Battle Group to perform their most skilled decapitation operations, your fighting spirit field has been activated almost all the time.]

During this process, Chi Xin will bring you various precious items that replenish your life span, such as Holy Water of Life, Original Liquid of Life, Leaves of Life, and Crystals of Life, allowing you to absorb and refine them to restore your depleted body.

[At first, these extraordinary things that replenished life loss were very effective.]

[But gradually, as you take it more frequently, the effects of these extraordinary things become less and less effective.]

[Even if you finish drinking a bottle of Holy Water of Life, it can only add two years of lifespan.]

[Fortunately, you finally managed to see the completion of Red Heart Fortress.]

[So, at your command, the Red Heart Army began to gradually retreat, retreating to the Red Heart Fortress.]

[As the Red Heart Fortress was operating at full capacity, dozens of super-amplification formations lit up around it.]

[The latest research results from the Red Heart Society's Formation Research Laboratory have enabled these super-amplification formations to amplify large-scale military weapons, thereby inflicting even more terrifying damage to attacking Abyss Lords.]

Finally, under the full force of the Red Heart Fortress, the terrifying Abyss Army was brought to a halt.

All the Red Heart Society fighters gathered on the eastern frontier can now breathe a sigh of relief.

[In January of the 142nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, while the situation at Red Heart Fortress improved, the eastern defense line was breached by the Abyss Army under the attack of ten winged demons.]

Millions of loyal soldiers were brutally massacred.

【Jun Lao died on the spot.】

[Old Jian was seriously injured and fled to the Red Heart Fortress.]

The Abyssal Army that breached the eastern defenses seemed to have a commander. Instead of mindlessly slaughtering the Red Heart Society members inland, they turned around and charged towards the Red Heart Fortress.

[Under attack from both sides, even the most magnificent building ever built by mankind would probably not last long.]

[In the same month, you reached level 42.]

[In February of the 142nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, in the provinces between the East and South, even though the Red Heart Society had relocated most of the population, several cities were still massacred by the Abyss Lords before they could be relocated.]

[The Red Heart Society is also about to meet its end.]

[At this moment, the United States across the ocean contacted you through unknown channels.]

The United States claims to possess the most advanced military weapons in human history, and even possesses special weapons that rival forbidden weapons. They possess the same lethality, but lack the forbidden radiation power.

[With the help of this special military weapon, the United States frequently took the initiative in the invasion of the Abyss World.]

[When other countries are perishing, only the United States can become the world's beacon and bring the last hope to human civilization.]

[Most importantly, the continent where the United States is located is far away on the other side of the ocean.]

Even if the raging abyssal army wanted to reach the United States by sea, they would be blocked by a large number of sea beasts.

[After all, in our world, the ocean occupies the mainstream. ]

[The sea beasts are so terrifying and powerful that they are definitely enough to give the Abyss Lords a hard time.]

【From this we can see that the United States is the destiny. 】

[However, the United States has limited living space and is definitely unable to support the influx of over a billion members of the Red Heart Society.]

So if you want to come here, want to join the United States, and fight for the hope of mankind and for freedom in the future, then you can only bring the top leaders of the Red Heart Society, the Red Heart Regiment, and the Guard Regiment with you.

[As for the Red Heart Army, the United States needs professionals with rank 4 or above.]

[After the fourth turn, forget it! ]

[Of course, he can also give you 10,000 bring-in quotas, so you can bring your family and friends along.]

[You told the Red Heart Regiment, the Guard Regiment, and everyone in the Red Heart Army about the United States.]

【As you guessed, everyone will refuse. 】

[Not to mention others, just the members of the Red Heart Group, they all have parents, relatives, and children.]

If the United States supports the entire Red Heart Society's collective relocation, then in this desperate situation, I don't think anyone would object.

[But they can go despite these restrictions, but what about their relatives and children?]

[What about the millions of Red Heart Army brothers below the fourth level?]

【Are you all giving up? 】

[But what you didn't expect was that after a moment of silence, the top fighter of the Red Heart Regiment seriously suggested that you seek refuge in the United States.]

"Leader, you once taught us that a spark of fire is far more important than a fallen monument!"

[In the face of major events, those who live for their ideals are more important than martyrs who sacrificed their lives.]

[Since the United States has invited you, then go! ]

【Go to a safe place! 】

You changed our destiny, you changed the order of the Federation that oppressed everyone. You let us see the sunshine, you let us see hope!

【You are our sun! 】

Even if we die in battle, if we remember that you are still alive and the sun is still shining, we will die without regrets.

【We are all mortal.】

[But you, the one who changed everything, cannot die! ]

[After saying this, the other party paused, and then his tone became more solemn.]

【leader!】

[For the sake of your ideals and everyone's happiness, you hold yourself to the strictest standards ever.]

[Until now, you have no wife, let alone a bloodline.]

If you're tired, you can go to the United States, relax a little, and live a peaceful and happy life.

You have given us all the life we ​​dream of, yet you still live by the highest standards for yourself.

Please leave the battlefield!

【You have given so much for us! 】

【Just as you hope that we can live a happy and fulfilling life, we also hope that you can have a happy and fulfilling life. 】

[The flag of sincerity will always be by your side.]

【No matter what, it will never fade! 】

[As soon as the words fell, the Red Heart Regiment's deputy leader's eyes flushed red as he raised his hand towards you in a standard salute.]

[Red Heart————]

【10,000! Wins!!】

The next moment, all the Red Heart warriors around them raised their hands in unison and saluted. The slogan of "Red Heart, Victory" echoed throughout the sky, centered in the fortress.

The loyal soldiers all turned their eyes to you. As the deputy commander said, you have given so much for them, and you have given up so much for them.

[It's obvious that with your talent and ability, you can have a very carefree life.]

[People's expectations for happiness are playing with friends, falling in love, getting married, and having children.]

Everything that the public desires, you cut out and throw aside.

[As long as you want, these happy lives will open the door for you, and you can quickly walk into them and enjoy them to the fullest. ]

[Yet you chose to speak for all those at the bottom of society, founded the Red Heart Society, formed the Red Heart Army, expelled the aristocratic families, broke up the Federation, and threw all happiness and contentment to all those at the bottom of society!]

They are expressing their agreement with the deputy leader's words with the raised hand salute and the slogan of "Sincerely Victorious." Regardless of the time and place, you, the leader, need to take a good rest.

[For the general public, the invasion of the Abyss Army is a tragic crisis that could wipe out entire families.]

[But all the loyal warriors put themselves in your shoes. Perhaps you can take this opportunity to take a good rest.]

You glanced around and raised your hand, causing everyone to stop shouting.

[The soldiers love you so much, how could you abandon them and leave alone?]

So, you looked down and spoke with a smile.

[Soldiers, the abyss is now invading, and danger is lurking everywhere.]

[Where you are, where the Red Heart Regiment, the Guard Regiment, and the millions of Red Heart Soldiers are, is the safest place in the world for me.]

【I am a person who is afraid of death! 】

【So I want to stay here, in this safest place! 】

[As soon as the words fell, the surroundings instantly fell silent.]
