My profession panel inspires loyalty.

[At that time, the Federation will truly face the danger of national extinction!]

Left with no other option, the Qin family sent envoys to the White Eagle Empire, but the reply they received was also that it concerned a national war, and no leniency would be shown!

Even after the Qin family envoy revealed information about the Red Heart Society's advocacy for the lower classes, its massacre of aristocratic families, and even the transmission of their long-sealed cultivation techniques to the Red Heart Society, the White Eagle Empire's higher-ups remained unresponsive.

Ultimately, it was only after the Qin family offered various extraordinary resources as bribes that the William family, who were related to the Qin family by marriage, secretly revealed a bombshell to the Qin family's envoy.

The White Eagle Empire was already aware of the Red Heart Society's actions.

Even the Red Heart Society's various large-scale military weapons and equipment were provided by their White Eagle Empire.

Otherwise, how could the Federation's dismal military factories possibly produce weapons that could overwhelm the Winter Empire?

[The Qin family envoy, dejected and disoriented by this bombshell news, returned to the Federation.]

When the Qin family patriarch learned that the Red Heart Society was backed by the White Eagle Empire, he was completely stunned.

【what? 】

[You mean the Red Heart Society, which is protected by military elders and whose entire military has pledged allegiance to, was founded by people from the White Eagle Empire?]

His first thought was that the William family of the White Eagle Empire didn't want to get involved and create trouble.

[Believe this, you might as well believe the Qin family betrayed their country!]

[It's true that the former Minister of War and other high-ranking military officials have various charges against them, but as the person who fabricated those charges against them, how could he not know the true state of the military?]

Those who fabricate charges know better than anyone else about the injustices suffered by the other party.

But so what?

[No matter who it is, if they block the Qin family's path, damage the Qin family's interests, or even threaten the Qin family's survival, then he will crush them completely!]

Based on his understanding of the military, the Qin family patriarch was perfectly clear that the military had not committed any treason!

[Or rather, under the leadership of the veteran military leaders, the military saw in the Red Heart Society the hope of making the Federation great again and ensuring that its people would no longer be bullied, which is why they acted that way.]

[Is the Red Heart Society a traitorous organization?]

They're really treating him like a fool and trying to scam him!

However, the William family had no need to fabricate such an easily exposed lie, so after the Qin family head calmed down, he saw it as a point that could be publicized.

The following day, the federal official media published an article titled: "Shocking! The mastermind behind the Red Heart Society is actually the White Eagle Empire?"

This article details how the White Eagle Empire supported the Red Heart Society, including the various medium and large-sized military weapons used by the Southern Army, all of which were manufactured by the White Eagle Empire.

[Soon, public opinion surged in provinces and cities unaffected by the fervent heart of the people.]

[However, within the Red Heart Society, its high-ranking members, the Red Heart Battle Group, the Guardian Battle Group, and the Red Heart Army all treated this article as a joke.]

You have never hidden your enemy targets from your loyal subordinates.

[A Federal Family?]

Those people don't deserve to be considered enemies of the Red Heart Society!

[The surrounding empires!]

[The abyss lords lurking around!]

This is the formidable enemy the Red Heart Society will face in the future.

As for the large-scale military production chain that the Red Heart Society acquired from the White Eagle Empire?

"Didn't you get that for free from the White Eagle Empire's royal family?"

[This matter is known to all the fervent followers of the Red Heart Society who have imprinted their beliefs on you.]

Therefore, this article published by the federal official media will serve no purpose other than to amuse members of the Red Heart Society.

[In June of the 129st year of the Supernatural Calendar, you reached level 48.]

[That same month, through Elder Jun's introduction, you met Elder Jian.]

[With your help, Sword Master received insights into cultivation techniques and the soul from another version of himself in another timeline, advancing his professional level to 94 more than a decade ahead of schedule.]

Sword Elder looked at the thriving Red Heart Society and nodded slightly.

When he saw that even ordinary soldiers of the Red Heart Society had mastered three secret techniques, he couldn't help but give you a thumbs up.

For someone like him, who has no offspring, the cultivation technique is no different from a ten-yuan coin lying on the ground.

However, he is well aware of the powerful families' control over cultivation techniques, which is why he approves of your magnanimity and actions.

Perhaps the old general is right; only under your guidance can the Federation become great again!

In June of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society completely occupied North Lake Province.

Because the Red Heart Society had preemptively imposed a blockade on Beihu Province, apart from a few highly informed aristocratic families who managed to escape, none of the other aristocratic families in Beihu Province fled.

[The prominent families of Jiangcheng, in particular, have been subjected to a full-scale trial under the close scrutiny of the Red Heart Society.]

Everyone in the Red Heart Society knows you're from Jiangcheng.

Now, you make no secret of your past poverty and the hardships you faced burdened by debt.

[To encourage members of the Red Heart Society, you even published a book about your own struggles, titled "My Life," within the society.]

If the Jiangcheng aristocratic families had any conscience and shown even a little consideration for those working at the bottom of society, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Red Heart Society are paying close attention to the trial of the Jiangcheng family.

During this period, you arranged for Lin Xue to meet with Du Yuhan.

If the Du family cooperates by confessing and handing over all their assets to the Red Heart Society, then the Red Heart Society will exile the younger generation of the Du family overseas.

Although Lin Xue doesn't understand your actions, she can probably guess what's going on.

[Therefore, under her arrangement, the head of the Du family decisively revealed everything.]

Given the current situation where the Chixin Society is at the mercy of the Du family, the Du family patriarch believes the Chixin Society has no reason to deceive them.

Although he didn't know why the Red Heart Society would spare the Du family's lineage, that didn't matter!

[That same month, the expressions of Elder Jun and Elder Jian, who were drinking tea next to you, changed.]

The two elderly people vanished from the spot in the next moment.

Within the mountains of Beihu Province, terrifying energy fluctuations rippled outwards.

Clearly, a ninth-tier professional from the Federation faction has targeted you.

[After the battle ended and neither side could gain the upper hand, you indicated that you could guide the other to cast a soul domain on you from a distance, pulling your soul into the domain.]

At that time, people will teach them a lesson!

The old soldier and the old swordsman exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding flashing in their eyes.

[In July of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you significantly expanded the Guardian Corps and the Red Heart Army.]

The escort battle groups have been expanded to thirty, each maintaining a strength of 20,000 men.

With the reorganization and integration of the Southern Border Army, the Red Heart Army's numbers have now exceeded two million.

[But you knew that two million loyal soldiers wouldn't be enough to handle the upcoming war, so you made a bold move and expanded the force by another two million.]

With the strong support of the Red Heart Society members, the Red Heart Army quickly completed its recruitment.

[Especially the teams and freelancers under the Red Heart Society, who, nurtured by the Red Heart Society's contribution system, are all quite strong.]

But deep down, everyone harbors the dream of obtaining a government-affiliated job.

[Especially the Red Heart Army's organization, the treatment and benefits, especially during wartime, often included a monthly salary equivalent to seven months' wages and bonuses equivalent to nine months' wages—it was simply mouthwatering.]

Most importantly, war is inevitable in the future.

Only by joining the Red Heart Society can they continue to advance and receive more extraordinary resources in the future.

[Another point is the generous pensions given to the soldiers of the Loyal Heart Army.]

If one's death could bring a happier and more fulfilling life to their family, perhaps many people wouldn't be so afraid of death.

In August of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Federal Headquarters reached an agreement with the Sunset Empire, ceding the eastern border to the Sunset Empire in exchange for the latter's entire border army being mobilized to provide support.

[Faced with the Sunset Empire's large-scale intervention, the Red Heart Society issued a direct statement.]

This is a matter of internal affairs for the Federation. If the Sunset Empire continues to intervene, the Red Heart Society will not rule out launching a forbidden military strike against the Sunset Empire.

The Sunset Empire's royal family scoffed at this, publicly stating, "Does Chixin even understand what forbidden military weaponry is?"

Do you understand the structure of forbidden military equipment?

Does it possess large-scale launching equipment that is considered forbidden military weaponry?

[They even dared to launch a forbidden attack on the Sunset Empire. What gives this mere civilian organization such arrogance?]

The Emperor of the Sunset Empire even joked about it during a diplomatic ceremony, contemptuously stating that as long as he lived, the Red Heart Society would never be able to develop forbidden weaponry!

From this moment forward, the Sunset Empire will impose a complete blockade on the Red Heart Society regarding the raw materials for forbidden military weapons worldwide.

However, the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire stated that they had already sold the two forbidden weapons to the Red Heart Society.

The world was once again shocked when this news broke.

The Emperor of the Sunset Empire quickly changed his tune, stating that he had misspoke and meant that as long as he lived, the Red Heart Society would never be able to develop the advanced and sophisticated forbidden weapon launch system.

[The Federation's top leadership urgently sealed off the entrance to the Abyss Battlefield and mobilized all the warbands suppressing gold farming activities inside.]

However, these numbered battle groups were almost all created by the old military command, and the new military command had virtually no control over them.

Moreover, these numbered battle groups were unwilling to fight a civil war, especially after the Federation General Headquarters and the New Military issued those twelve withdrawal orders, which were tantamount to treason. These battle groups on the Abyss battlefield had lost all hope in the Federation's leadership.

To be honest, if the top brass of these numbered battle groups weren't all from prominent families in the Federation's central regions, they probably would have already defected.

[Especially when the Red Heart Society distributes cultivation techniques and secret manuals for free, and even holds cultivation exchange conferences for renowned families every now and then, the members of the numbered battle groups suppressing the Abyss Battlefield are even more eager to participate.]

Under these circumstances, lower-ranking members of the warbands only wanted to join the Red Heart Society, not fight against it.

After all, who would want to fight an organization that could bring them a bright future?

Thus, when the Sunset Empire's border troops arrived at the front lines, they found Federation-numbered battle groups with low morale, extremely strong anti-war sentiment, and frequent mutinies.

Chapter 111 Forbidden Strike Against the Sunset Empire (5k)

For a moment, the Sunset Empire commander was completely bewildered.

【what? 】

What's going on here?

Who would stand around causing trouble and giving up when someone comes to their doorstep?

Are you sure this is the morale and combat effectiveness a Federation-numbered combat group should have?

[What about that numbered battle group that fought fiercely against them on the Eastern Frontier, even annihilating several of their armies?]

Are you sure it's the same group of people?

However, the worse the Federation Chapter performed, the happier he became.

[After all, before he arrived, His Majesty the Emperor had advised him to take this opportunity to carefully observe the environment, customs, and culture surrounding the Federation.]

[If possible, also take a look at the Federation's layout in various cities and some of the secret passages.]

Now that the Federation has given them the Eastern Territory, wouldn't it be a waste of the Federation's generosity if they didn't take advantage of the internal strife to advance further?

To promote the common prosperity of the Sunset Empire and the Federation, they felt it necessary to divide up the Federation's vast and resource-rich territories.

Of course, if the Federation still has hidden military forces, or remains powerful, then let's pretend this was never mentioned.

Therefore, the commander of the Sunset Empire's border troops was very keen for the Federation army to perform poorly.

The worse the Federal Army performs, the weaker the Red Heart Society's fighting strength is.

In this way, their Sunset Empire could realize its grand ideal of conquering the Federation.

[In the same month, Guan Wu, one of the six King-level talents adopted by the Red Heart Society ahead of schedule, came of age and, under the guidance of the Red Heart Society, successfully awakened his King-level talent: Star Moon Battle Body.]

The power of the Star Moon Battle Body allowed Guan Wu to display overwhelming combat strength from the very beginning.

Under the full support of the Red Heart Society, Guan Wu's strength rapidly increased at an extremely terrifying pace.

He enjoyed everything that scions of noble families could.

Even on the front lines where the two armies were locked in a stalemate, you still found time to bring Guan Wu under your wing and train him.
