My profession panel inspires loyalty.

That seemingly intimidating battle formation, with its almost non-disorganized ranks, crumbled at the first touch.

The world was utterly baffled by the Mauryan Empire's actions.

During a high-level meeting of the allied forces to discuss issues related to the Mauryan Empire, they exchanged bewildered glances and remained silent.

Is the Peacock Empire trying to be funny?

With such strength, they couldn't even withstand a single charge from the Red Heart Army, and a thousand soldiers were captured by a single company under the Red Heart Army's command.

How can someone have the nerve to brag to the world under such circumstances?

Is it that they're genuinely not worried about being attacked by other countries, or do they have other advantages?

[Or perhaps, this million-strong expeditionary force was merely a pie in the sky offered by the Peacock Empire to the Red Heart Society, but the Peacock Empire didn't expect the Red Heart Society to fall for it so easily!]

Regardless, the defeat of the Mauryan Empire was inevitable.

This event greatly boosted the morale of the Red Heart Society, but also dealt a significant blow to the morale of the Allied Forces.

The Emperor of the White Eagle Empire, keenly aware of the Peacock Empire's weakness from this incident, urgently convened Parliament and decided to mobilize domestic military forces to launch a war against the Peacock Empire.

The Red Heart Society is too inflexible!

Instead of wasting time fighting the Red Heart Society, why not fight the Peacock Empire?

Faced with their emperor's words, the aristocratic families of the White Eagle Empire all fell silent.

Chapter 115 Sunset Empire's Revenge? Then Kill them until they dare not retaliate! (5k)

【yes! 】

Isn't their main purpose in coming here to reap huge profits and benefits?

So why are they still staying here, given that the Peacock Empire is such an easy target?

[Their sincerity is too hard; if they keep gnawing at it, they're worried they'll break their own teeth.]

The Federation's aristocratic families panicked upon discovering that the White Eagle Empire's high command was planning to evacuate.

The Winter Empire's defenses have been seized by the Red Heart Society, and the Sunset Empire is currently engaged in a war of attrition with the Red Heart Society.

[Only on the frontal battlefield, where the advantage may seem small, is the greatest advantage in reality.]

[However, if the White Eagle Empire's army withdraws, even with the help of the various extraordinary teams from the Winter Empire, the Federation Center will only suffer a crushing defeat.]

Therefore, in order to keep the White Eagle Empire in the country, the Federation's aristocratic families, after consultation, made a decision that went against the Allied Forces.

[Before the White Eagle Empire's army had issued a formal order to retreat, they marked the locations of the direct descendants of the White Eagle Empire's aristocratic families with highly flashing signals.]

[During the outbreak of the war, a malfunction in the signal jammer led to the Allied forces being bombed by the Red Heart Army.]

The direct descendants of powerful families in the White Eagle Empire were almost entirely wiped out.

The top families of the White Eagle Empire were instantly enraged.

Even if they suspected the Federation was behind it, there was no direct evidence to prove it, and the heirs of the White Eagle Empire's powerful families did indeed die in the Red Heart Society's bombing raids.

Therefore, they must take revenge!

[Thus, letters requesting to fight were sent to the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire, declaring that they would never return home until the Red Heart Society was eradicated!]

The blood of the Empire's soldiers must not be wasted.

The gains made by the Imperial soldiers, who sacrificed their lives, must not be abandoned like this.

The Emperor of the White Eagle Empire looked at the letter of request for battle before him, his eyes flashing.

To be honest, he really wanted to take advantage of the Red Heart Society to consolidate imperial power within the country.

However, the weakness of the Peacock Empire's military made him realize the vast resources available on that expansive land thousands of miles away.

[Especially the Blazing Gold Oil, which is known as the lifeblood of the extraordinary era; the Peacock Empire has over a dozen large Blazing Gold Oil fields.]

Most importantly, the Abyss Battlefield, which is linked to the Peacock Empire, also possesses an excellent strategic position.

Although there aren't any particularly rare extraordinary resources, there's plenty of Blazing Gold Oil!

This alone is enough to move the White Eagle Empire.

After all, the numerous research projects and large-scale military equipment deployed by the White Eagle Empire all require the activation of Blazing Gold Oil.

However, the powerful families of the White Eagle Empire were unwilling to return, and he had no way to forcibly recall them.

Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!

The Emperor of the White Eagle Empire sat on his throne, remaining silent for a long time before a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.

In the short term, eliminating these powerful families within the Empire will cause the Empire's military strength to decline to some extent.

[It could eliminate discordant voices within the empire and consolidate imperial power, which would definitely benefit one's rule and strengthen one's control over the country.]

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, this operation targeting the powerful families is absolutely worthwhile.

Now we just hope that the Red Heart Society can step in and do something.

[In October of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Sunset Empire reinforced its troops by one million, aiming to completely crush the Crimson Heart Society.]

[In December of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you reached level 50 and began refining your Starlight Battle Aura.]

[In the same month, amidst the prolonged war, the Red Heart Society's military products experienced a comprehensive boom.]

With the vast majority of production capacity devoted to military industry, various daily necessities needed by the civilian population naturally became scarce.

Although the Red Heart Society wiped out all the powerful families in more than a dozen provinces and amassed a great deal of wealth in the process, war is ultimately about money.

[In such a long war, the daily expenses represent an immense financial burden.]

[Especially given the high welfare and benefits offered by the Red Heart Society, this figure would be double that of other countries.]

Thus, the Red Heart Society inevitably entered into a fiscal deficit.

However, you and Lin Xue had anticipated this situation.

[As early as six months ago, you began stirring up trouble in the United States, attempting to disrupt its product market.]

[Through financial exploitation, the United States has created a market where supply far exceeds demand.]

Therefore, the United States is now on the verge of an economic crisis.

Therefore, when the Red Heart Society's product demand was relayed to the United States, various families and corporations in the United States immediately traveled to the Red Heart Society via teleportation arrays.

As their family assets steadily declined, they paid no heed to the fact that a war was raging in the region.

[They'd sell anything, even a sword that could chop off their own head, as long as the profit margin is high enough.]

[Thus, the Red Heart Society signed a large order with the United States for a wide variety of products, covering all aspects of the market.]

Because the United States wanted to get rid of the stockpiled products as quickly as possible, they all accepted the Red Heart Society's decision to buy on credit and pay later.

There's nothing we can do if they don't accept it. They can't expect all the other families to sell their products while they don't, can they?

[Wouldn't they be swallowed up by other families if things continued like this?]

In January of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Empire sent envoys to negotiate, hoping to pay a certain price in exchange for the Red Heart Army's withdrawal from the Winter Defense Line.

However, Lin Xue rejected this suggestion outright after consulting with you.

Given the current situation of the allied forces' campaign against the Red Heart Society, how could they possibly give away such a powerful trump card?

As for resources?

[Once we conquer the Winter Empire, what resources won't we have?]

In February of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Empire, seeing that it could not retake the Frostfire Defense Line, proposed to exchange some resources for hundreds of thousands of prisoners.

The soldiers of the Winter Empire, accustomed to their comfortable lives in the Red Heart Society prisoner-of-war camp, were furious upon hearing this. They elected representatives to plead with Lin Xue, hoping she wouldn't hand them over.

They are willing to fight for their loyalty!

Lin Xue was puzzled by this. "That's clearly your homeland, why don't you want to go back?"

The soldier from the Winter Empire swallowed hard and began to explain to Lin Xue.

It turns out that the military discipline of the Winter Empire is arguably the strictest in the world.

[All soldiers captured by the enemy are considered by military discipline to have been misled by the enemy and their thinking has been changed.]

In other words, even if these prisoners return, they will be tried as spies in a military court.

The crime is treason!

The strongest evidence is their living existence.

[He was captured by the enemy, yet he didn't immediately commit suicide?]

This crime constitutes disloyalty to the Winter Empire!

Disloyal soldiers, even if the enemy doesn't kill them, the Winter Empire will!

[Another important reason is that they were captured by the Red Heart Society, and the area they once stationed in was occupied by the Red Heart Society, which means that the Winter Empire likely thought they were dead.]

In this situation, their families are considered the families of martyrs.

But if they go back, that family will go from being the family of heroes to the family of traitors.

Therefore, whether for their own sake or for their family's, they don't want to go back.

As long as they are not allowed to attack their motherland, they are willing to give everything for the Chixin Society.

After Lin Xue discussed this matter with you, she, at your instruction, sent the group of Winter Empire soldiers to the front lines of the battlefield.

As long as these soldiers are willing to fight for the Red Heart Society, then they will meet the other side's demands.

Therefore, Lin Xue refused the Winter Empire's offer to ransom the prisoners.

[In April of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after your speech, your concern, and your complex feelings towards the Red Heart Society as a prisoner, you simply treated them a little better, made some promises about the future, and painted a rosy picture, and you won their loyalty.]

[Having sensed the other party's loyalty, you bestowed the basic physique enhancement technique upon former soldiers of the Winter Empire, now soldiers of the Winter Army under the Red Heart Society.]

[Baptized by their unwavering ideals, empowered by their cultivation techniques, and driven by their yearning for a better life, the soldiers of the Winter Army unleashed unparalleled fighting prowess.]

[Especially their explosive actions—risking their lives to drag the enemy down with them—left a psychological scar on the Federal Central Army and the White Eagle Empire's forces.]

Even when facing the extraordinary knights of the Winter Empire, the soldiers of the Winter Army showed no mercy.

After joining the Red Heart Society, they had no way out!

The Red Heart Society showed them unprecedented respect and bestowed upon them a cultivation technique they had never encountered before in their lives.

[Especially you, the founder of the Red Heart Society, who leads such a vast organization and possesses some of the world's most advanced military forces.]

[Under normal circumstances, one should be high and mighty, regarding all those at the bottom as ants, arrogant enough to disregard everything.]

[Yet you actually led a team to inspect the Winter Army camp, and gently asked them how they were eating, and if they missed home. You even told them that if their families needed anything, they could inform the Red Heart Military Control Committee.]

The Red Heart Society has some connections within the Winter Empire; perhaps they can help them bring their families out after martial law is lifted.

It would be best to leave a keepsake so your family knows you're here.

This is beyond their imagination.

As lowly prisoners, they are already extremely grateful to receive your attention, yet you actually teach them to raise their hands in a gesture of respect when they see you.

Most importantly, you also distributed books to them and signed them after the speech.

Their adoration for you reaches its peak the moment your name appears in their books.

When they first came into contact with the Red Heart Society, they thought that the Society's propaganda about you was exaggerated.

After all, who can compare to the sun and light?

【But now!】

They believed it!

They even felt that the Red Heart Society's propaganda work was quite inadequate; how could the sun and light compare to you?

Even if some of them were once loyal to the Winter Empire, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor who sat high on the throne.

[But under the subtle and pervasive influence of your gentle, nurturing mindset, they will ultimately succumb to your charm.]

Will the Emperor of the Winter Empire show them any concern or care?

Would the Emperor of the Winter Empire care about their happiness?

Will the Emperor of the Winter Empire impart his skills to them, granting them a stronger future and a brighter tomorrow?
