My profession panel inspires loyalty.

[It's obvious!]

No!

Therefore, they are willing to give everything for you and for your pure heart.

To die for you might be their highest honor!

The fact that the Winter Army fought so bravely, even breaking through the White Eagle Empire's defenses as a surprise force, greatly surprised the enemy.

[This appearance...it's definitely the main ethnic group of the Winter Empire, right?]

How did these soldiers from the Winter Empire end up in the Red Heart Society's camp?

Moreover, both their combat strength and fighting spirit remain as fierce as ever.

Even within the Winter Empire, they would be among the most elite soldiers.

But the Winter Army would not answer their questions; they would only wield their weapons and swords, adding to their own glory with their blood.

In May of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the third Crimson Heart Armor was successfully produced.

With the help of the Black Armor Research Team, the production efficiency of the Crimson Heart Armor has increased by fifty percent.

[That same month, based on the structure of the Crimson Heart Armor, the former headmaster suggested that it could be simplified and widely applied to the Crimson Heart Army.]

[Don't be too demanding; you could call it a simplified or even a weaker version of the Crimson Heart Armor.]

[If the Red Heart Army soldiers can increase their combat power and defense by more than 10 levels after wearing these items, then it will be considered a great success.]

[This plan received your high praise as soon as it was proposed.]

The research on the Crimson Heart Armor has reached a bottleneck. At this critical juncture, if a simplified or mass-market version of the Crimson Heart Armor could be developed, it would undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of the Crimson Heart Army.

In July of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the ninth-rank professionals from the Winter Empire and the Sunset Empire attacked simultaneously. Even with the intervention of the Elder Military Officer and the Elder Swordsman, they still inflicted heavy losses on the Crimson Heart Army.

However, the Sunset Empire paid the price of losing a ninth-tier professional due to the elder's fury.

[After the war, the veteran remarked with some emotion that if you hadn't promoted him ahead of schedule, he probably wouldn't have achieved such results.]

In August of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Sunset Empire, in retaliation against the Crimson Heart Society, mobilized two million troops and thirty top-tier battle groups from the Abyss Battlefield.

The deaths of ordinary people in the Sunset Empire are usually ignored; the Empire might chant slogans or express anger to stir up public opinion, and that's about it.

Although the forbidden military force landed in the Sunset Capital, most of those who died were ordinary people and descendants of common noble families.

But now, a ninth-level professional has died!

Those are the cornerstones of the nation, the true pillars of strength!

This must be retaliated against!

[It wouldn't be unreasonable to even suspend the development of the Abyss Battlefield in order to engage in the war.]

Under the impact of this terrifying force, Deng Qi's Red Heart Army began a strategic retreat.

Finally, two eighth-tier professionals clad in Crimson Heart Armor joined the battle, finally stabilizing the constantly retreating fighting situation.

In retaliation against the Red Heart Society, the Sunset Empire resorted to various despicable tactics during the war, including curses and viruses.

Furthermore, if there are any ordinary people near the Sunset Empire's garrison, they will arrest and kill them all.

[All of this was simply to exact revenge on the Red Heart Society.]

Even though most of those killed were people under federal rule, not members of the Red Heart Society.

After learning about this, the Federal Headquarters chose to play dumb.

After all, they didn't want to offend the enraged Sunset Empire because of a group of lowly commoners.

[But Chi Xin felt an unparalleled rage upon witnessing the massacre of his compatriots.]

[Especially Liu Wentao, a soldier who grew up on the eastern border defense line, had witnessed the atrocities of the Sunset Empire on numerous occasions.]

The current massacres by the Sunset Empire have triggered painful memories of his past.

Therefore, in order to resist the massacre by the Sunset Empire and to erase his painful past memories, he directly cultivated the Life-Burning Secret Technique, which involved burning his life force to enhance his strength.

Even with his long lifespan and powerful soul, an eighth-level professional like him only had three years left to live under the extreme burning effect of the Life-Burning Secret Technique.

Even so, he had no regrets!

Three years it is!

Three years is more than enough time for him to wipe out those beasts from the Sunset Empire!

Now, clad in the Crimson Heart Armor and wielding the Life-Burning Secret Technique, Liu Wentao is the number one person below the Ninth Revolution.

In this era where those who have undergone the Nine Revolutions cannot act rashly, he will kill anyone who dares to challenge him!

[A number of high-ranking military professionals have chosen to follow this former military minister's decision.]

[Thus, with a large number of high-level professionals practicing the Life-Burning Secret Technique, the Red Heart Society's combat strength in the Eastern Territory rose to an extremely terrifying level.]

These high-level professionals are all conservatives, the kind who think the radicals are too conservative.

Once one's abilities meet the required standard, worldly opinions become irrelevant.

Thus began a massive massacre of the Sunset Empire in the ensuing battle.

[It's true that a super-large military matrix can kill an eighth-tier professional, but under the protection of the Crimson Heart Armor, it's no different from an ordinary person getting slapped.]

Although it hurts a little, it won't harm your body at all.

[As long as you don't mind the pain of being attacked, you can charge in and wreak havoc, just like in Musou mode.]

First, destroy the massive military equipment, then wipe out those technicians!

Finally, eliminate all the professionals who stand in your way.

[Even under your orders, high-level professionals, represented by Liu Wentao, under the cover of the Red Heart Army, directly broke through the eastern border defenses and entered the Sunset Empire to carry out a massacre.]

When the Sunset Empire slaughtered the Federation citizens, they threw their morals aside.

Morality is meant to be shown to others, not to be seen by that damned, declining empire!

[One word!]

【kill! 】

[Isn't the Sunset Empire seeking revenge against the Red Heart Society and this place?]

[If the Sunset Empire kills one person, they'll rush in and kill ten thousand!]

[We will slaughter them until the Sunset Empire no longer dares to harbor thoughts of revenge against the Red Heart Society or the residents of the Federation!]

Perhaps their actions will be attacked by some hypocrites who see them as butchers and morally corrupt, but when they are seeking revenge and venting their hatred for the Sunset Empire, they no longer care about such things.

[So much so that they are somewhat grateful to the Red Heart Society, and even more grateful to you, the founder of the Red Heart Society.]

[If it weren't for your help, these hawks probably would never have experienced the feeling of entering the Sunset Empire and wreaking havoc.]

Although this would cause their natural lifespan to decline rapidly, none of that mattered in the face of national and personal vendettas!

[Other empires are irrelevant!]

The Sunset Empire must die!

If possible, they would prefer to... trample the capital of the Sunset Empire and slaughter the entire Sunset Royal Family in the future!

After noticing the Red Heart Society's widespread slaughter of the Sunset Empire, the Winter Empire quietly withdrew its planned Nine Revolutions Massacre.

If the Red Heart Society is truly provoked, and given that the opposing Ninth-Rank cultivator is keeping an eye on the Winter Empire's Ninth-Rank cultivators, these few mad butchers working together could probably crush the Winter Empire's army.

[After being utterly defeated by the Crimson Armor, the Sunset Empire began to campaign globally, proposing a treaty to ban this irregular and dangerous weapon.]

However, his calls for support did not garner any support from major powers; instead, he received continuous support from smaller countries.

[During the World Congress, after the Sunset Empire proposed this motion, the White Eagle Empire did not hesitate and immediately rejected it.]

[Next came the United States.]

They paid a heavy price to finally acquire all the technology for the Red Heart Armor from the Red Heart Society.

[We've invested a huge amount of resources, and the finished product is almost ready. You're telling me you're going to ban the Crimson Heart Armor?]

Who gave you the audacity?

[If anything must be banned, then research on the Crimson Heart Armor should be prohibited!]

How can we ban its use?

The Crimson Heart Armor's impressive performance on the battlefield, especially Liu Wentao's total massacre of the Sunset Empire's army, had long been admired by the high-ranking officials of both countries.

Once the research is complete, shouldn't it be put to practical use on the battlefield?

So this is what you're going to do?

However, it wasn't without the support of major powers; at least the Peacock Empire and the Winter Empire were very supportive of the Sunset Empire's proposal.

However, the rejection by the White Eagle Empire and the United States means that this proposal has no chance of passing!

Even if it passes, it can't be implemented!

Chapter 116 Within Sunset Territory, the Sword Will Never Be Sheathed! (5k)

In October of the 132nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society recaptured the eastern border defense line in a major victory against the Sunset Empire.

However, before leaving, the Sunset Empire destroyed all the array formations and enhancement runes along the eastern border defense line, leaving not even a single complete inscription. They even destroyed all the large buildings within the eastern territory they occupied.

Even residents of several provinces in the eastern border of the Federation suffered an unprecedented massacre before the Sunset Empire withdrew.

This act of destroying everything and killing everyone fills you with immense anger.

Although the Red Heart Society has strong infrastructure capabilities, with sufficient manpower, resources, and finances, rebuilding the Eastern Border defense line is only a matter of time.

[The Eastern Border defense line rebuilt by the Red Heart Society is even stronger than the original Eastern Border defense line built under the supervision of the Federation.]

[But the people massacred by the Sunset Empire in several eastern provinces, and the prospective members of the Red Heart Society killed by the Sunset Empire, will never return.]

At this moment, you suddenly understood the resentment that Liu Wentao and his group of high-ranking military officials harbored towards the Sunset Empire!

The Sunset Empire, with its perverse culture, committed acts that are utterly outrageous and despicable!

Therefore, you gave Deng Qi the order not to shelve his sword.

[From today onwards, the Red Heart Army need not sheath their weapons in any Sunset Empire territory conquered by the Red Heart Society.]

Regardless of gender, age, status, or profession, wherever the Sunset Empire is located, kill them all!

Not a single one will be left behind!

[Extinction of the race!]

[Starting today!]

This brutal order to massacre was met with opposition from some high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society.

They believed that civilians were innocent in the war between the two countries.

The Red Heart Society's sword should not be used against ordinary people.

However, these ideas from the higher-ups were directly rejected by Lin Xue. When the Sunset Empire extended its sword to the eastern provinces, did it not foresee this day would come?

Are we only allowed to allow the setting sun empire to slaughter our compatriots, but not to retaliate?

【Why? 】

There's no such logic in this world.

Just because we are kind, because we are sincere and friendly, does that mean we should be humiliated like this?

If that's the case, then it's better not to be a good person!

During the national war, Lin Xue consistently advocated for an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Since the Sunset Empire dared to slaughter my people, then when the Red Heart Society's army besieges the Sunset Empire's capital in the future, we will ensure that not a single person in the entire Sunset Empire is spared.

[But Lin Xue still has some objections to the order you issued. Mainly, she feels that as the founder of the Red Heart Society, you shouldn't have issued such a negative order.]

You should be surrounded by light and magnificence.

The only sun should not have any blemishes on it!

Even if this stain is seen by everyone as a satisfying act of revenge, something everyone has been hoping for, it still won't work.

People in our time might not say anything, but if we extend the timeline to three or five hundred years from now, when future generations write history and evaluate you, then perhaps historians will label you a tyrant.
