My profession panel inspires loyalty.

And so, millions of loyal soldiers rushed to the front lines in the dead of winter.

Almost immediately after the Red Heart Army's large-scale mobilization, the Winter Empire began a full-scale withdrawal of its forces, even abandoning more than a dozen cities near the Winter Defense Line and deploying its entire army to the first defensive stronghold: Lonna Fortress.

Meanwhile, high-ranking mages of the Winter Empire began using icy magic, causing fierce winds to sweep across the entire empire and temperatures to plummet.

The people of the Winter Empire have lived in this extremely cold environment since childhood, and have developed a very high resistance to low temperatures and cold.

However, the members of the Red Heart Society live within the Federation's territory, where the seasons vary greatly. Once they venture deeper, the advantages afforded by that environment will make the Winter Empire's fighting strength even stronger.

High-level professionals can ignore changes in their surroundings, but what about ordinary Red Heart Army soldiers?

Can we just ignore it?

[Minus fifty degrees Celsius can be ignored, but what about minus eighty degrees Celsius?]

Even if it means half the population of the Winter Empire freezes to death this year, the Winter Empire will keep the Red Heart Society's invasion at bay.

However, the Red Heart Society's actions surprised the Winter Empire. After leaving the Winter Defense Line, the Red Heart Army merely took over the forests, lakes, ports, and cities abandoned by the Winter Empire.

[After entering the border cities of the Winter Empire, the Red Heart Society distributed cold-weather supplies and various living resources to the lower classes of the cities.]

After all, those who remained here after the motherland's defeat in the war, those who didn't evacuate, were all from the lowest rungs of society!

The true aristocratic families have long since fled.

[Even in an effort to reduce resistance among the lower ranks of the Winter Empire, the Winter Army under the Red Heart Society began to be deployed.]

As they watched their compatriots distributing supplies, these people at the bottom of society in the city felt a surge of emotion.

The most ironic thing also happened in this cold December.

The cities with the fewest deaths from freezing within the entire Winter Empire are surprisingly the dozen or so cities occupied by the Red Heart Society.

This enormous irony enraged the Emperor of the Winter Empire!

What the hell is that damned Red Heart Society up to?

Do they really think they can win over the hearts and minds of people within the empire with these things?

The people of the Empire have absolute loyalty to the Empire!

It is utterly impossible for someone to be grateful for the fervor shown to invade their motherland simply because of some cheap winter gear, low-priced heating equipment, and worthless resources!

[It's laughable that you, the founder of the Red Heart Society, would use such low-level tactics to win people's hearts!]

[In January of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society began offering free career awakening services to all Winterborn citizens in these dozen or so cities.]

When the former citizens of the Winter Empire, now members of the Red Heart Society's Winter Clan, learned of this, they were all stunned and stood there, at a loss for what to do.

[Soon, they realized what was happening and began calling out to their friends, roaring excitedly, urging everyone to hurry to the professional awakening location to awaken their extraordinary powers.]

Oh my god!

[The professional awakening qualification, which originally required paying millions of Winter Coins to a noble lord and signing a ten-year loyalty contract, was now being offered free of charge by the Red Heart Society.]

[If at the beginning some people harbored the most malicious thoughts about the Red Heart Society, believing that it wanted them to betray their country, recruit them into the army, and turn against their own compatriots.]

【But now!】

They don't think that way anymore!

Good heavens, this is absolutely the best organization in the world!

[As long as it awakens their professional consciousness and propels them onto the path of the extraordinary, they would dare to attack their own people, let alone the emperor.]

[When they completed their professional awakening, and the Red Heart distributed two basic Divine Gift Crystals to them each month, a large number of Winterborn people immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.]

Two basic Divine Crystals are enough to buy a property in a border city of the Winter Empire!

In other words, the Red Heart Society not only gives them awakened professions for free, but also provides them with divine crystals every month, equivalent to the value of a house.

If the legendary gods truly exist, then Chang Chixin would certainly be like this!

So they began spontaneously heading to the Winter Army's base, inquiring whether they could join the Winter Army.

The soldiers of the Winter Army are also very happy about the changes in their comrades.

However, they still refused their compatriots' request, since the Red Heart Society had very strict requirements for military assessment and vetting; those who did not meet the standards were simply not qualified to become soldiers.

At this moment, the people of Winter's worldview collapsed.

【what? 】

[Don't you need to give something in return?]

Is it really all free?

This is so dreamlike!

Harboring such unrealistic thoughts, they returned home.

[Then, they began to worship you, the founder of the Red Heart Society, in their homes, according to the traditional cultural customs of the Winter Empire.]

They hoped that Chixin would grow stronger and stronger, and that Chixin would conquer the Winter Empire in the shortest possible time.

In this way, their relatives and friends in other cities can also enjoy the benefits.

What are the benefits of becoming a professional?

What I want is for family and friends to be together, to hunt abyssal monsters together in the future, and to live a happy and fulfilling life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In February of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the abyss gate before the Eastern Territory of the Crimson Heart Society began to tremble violently, as if affected by something.

The next moment, from the four directions—the Sunset Empire, the Winter Empire, the United States, and the Peacock Empire—a massive pillar of demonic energy shot through the sky.

[Under the impact of these four pillars of demonic energy, a crisp shattering sound seemed to emanate from the sky.]

Immediately afterwards, eerie, mournful cries began to emanate from within the abyss portal before the eastern defense line.

[Everyone who saw this had a thought that involuntarily arose in their mind.]

[Abyss Invasion!]

【here we go! 】

Chapter 120 Emergency Rescue of the Sunset Empire Using Special Military Weapons (5k)

Terrifying demonic energy erupted from the four pillars of demonic light, sweeping across the entire world at an unstoppable speed.

The abyss lords of the demonic lair, the abyss monsters roaming the wilderness, have become even more powerful and ferocious under the baptism of such dense abyssal demonic energy.

Furthermore, a large number of abyssal monsters, due to the exponential increase in abyssal demonic energy, resonated with the abyssal power within them, forcibly evolving into powerful abyssal lords.

[In an instant, the world suffered heavy losses.]

Meanwhile, from the abyssal portals leading to the eastern border defenses, a steady stream of abyssal monsters level 60 and above began to emerge, including a large number of abyssal lords.

However, the pillars of abyss light within the Sunset Empire clearly hold a special attraction for these abyss lords.

Thus, these massive numbers of abyssal monsters began their rampage towards the heart of the Sunset Empire.

Accompanied by a powerful figure emerging from the pillar of light in the abyss, a nation-destroying abyssal demonic tide formed within the Sunset Empire.

Upon receiving the news, you personally went to the eastern front.

Looking at this tide of abyssal demons that surpassed the previous era from the very beginning, you couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

[It's one thing for the Peacock Empire and the Sunset Empire to be researching abyssal experiments, but it's understandable that the Winter Empire, due to its large army returning to defend its territory, wants to conduct abyssal experiments to expand its military strength.]

What is the United States doing?

Can this war here affect the United States, which is located just across the ocean?

Even the United States made a fortune selling weapons during this multinational war.

[Now that you have money, you've started conducting abyss experiments, right?]

Sure enough, having a useless teammate, especially one who comes up with a brilliant idea, can be incredibly frustrating.

Your only consolation is that the White Eagle Empire didn't secretly conduct abyssal experiments.

Soon, a private message from the White Eagle Emperor arrived, revealing why the White Eagle Empire hadn't conducted any research.

[Within the White Eagle Empire, there are also ideas for conducting Abyss Experiments and developing an Abyss Army.]

[However, considering your ability to accurately harvest wealth from around the world, and the suspicious fact that you inexplicably knew about his private communications from the beginning, the White Eagle Emperor suspects that you may possess the ability to predict the future or some kind of secret technique or tool.]

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, he felt he should believe it just once.

Ultimately, after so many years of leading the White Eagle Emperor to conquer the world, the White Eagle Empire now boasts a powerful military and no irreconcilable economic conflicts within its borders.

Given this thriving national situation, the boost provided by the so-called Abyss Army becomes less important.

Since the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, why bother with the research?

[In March of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you broke the seal on the Abyss Battlefield, leading the Crimson Heart Legion and three million Crimson Heart soldiers into the Abyss.]

The Abyss invasion is currently in its early stages, and the resulting Abyss Lords are not yet powerful enough.

Therefore, for the Red Heart Society today, the benefits of confronting the Abyss invasion far outweigh the risks.

As for the five defense zones established by the Federation?

You've already experienced that kind of shoddy construction once.

Therefore, this time, you will be responsible for both fighting off the invasion of the Abyss Demon Tide and organizing the Red Heart Society members to build defensive lines and fortresses in the rear.

[In your plans, you even intend to form a matrix link between the defensive line and the fortress, utilizing the Red Heart Society's latest matrix linkage technology to launch a ferocious attack on the Abyssal Demon Tide while maintaining integrated offense and defense.]

[That same month, after receiving your approval, Lin Xue abandoned the dozen or so cities outside the Winter Defense Line and relocated the millions of Winterfolk who had joined the Red Heart Society to the newly built fortress behind the Winter Fortress.]

Based on the fact that the Winter Empire was conducting abyssal experiments and attracting the pillars of abyssal light, she knew that the Winter Empire wouldn't last long.

The defenses of those dozen or so border towns were practically negligible when facing a high-level Abyss Lord.

Moreover, the winter defense line is not far away, so under the current circumstances of the abyss invasion, these dozen or so border towns have no need for defense at all.

This winter migration went surprisingly smoothly.

[Before the Red Heart Society even started chanting their slogans, the Winter Soldiers had already packed their bags.]

After all, the pillar of demonic energy piercing the heavens and earth in the Winter Capital was so conspicuous, and coupled with the Red Heart Society's emergency mobilization order and relocation activities, everyone wasn't stupid.

This is absolutely terrible!

[Compared to staying and waiting to die, they would rather live happily with the Red Heart Society than go there to survive.]

[In May of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you frowned as you looked at the army casualty report submitted by the Red Heart Society.]

The number of Red Heart Army soldiers killed or wounded on the Abyss Battlefield far exceeds the number of Red Heart Army soldiers stationed in various locations.

Even though the Red Heart Army soldiers possessed cultivation techniques and were far stronger than soldiers from other countries, the sheer power of their formation was severely suppressed by the overwhelming onslaught of the high-level abyssal demon tide, due to the absolute level difference.

Therefore, you changed your strategy, withdrawing the Red Heart Army from the Abyss Battlefield and transferring the Guardian Corps guarding the outside world into the Abyss Battlefield.

[During this process, you deeply felt the scarcity of the escorting forces.]

Therefore, you continued to expand your escort force.

[You could even, based on your understanding of the future high-end battlefield, draw high-level combat power from all the escort battle groups to form another super battle group, weaker than the Red Heart Battle Group, capable of completely overwhelming the escort battle groups.]

[You name this super battle group the Demon-Sealing Battle Group.]

The demonic energy in the abyss is surging ever stronger, and you have extremely high expectations for the Demon-Sealing Warband.

In June of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the capital of the Sunset Empire was besieged. Even though they used forbidden weapons to fight back, the mutated Abyss Lords that emerged afterward possessed even greater power.

[The enraged members of the warband then destroyed all the forbidden weapon launch pads.]

[Even during this process, members of the combat group stormed the home of the official who formulated the forbidden military strike plan and wiped out his entire family.]

In this situation, the Sunset Emperor urgently appealed to the world for help.

[As a world-renowned philanthropist, and the Red Heart Society, a world-famous benevolent organization, after unanimous deliberation at the highest levels, you have decided to support the Sunset Empire.]

Most importantly, the Sunset Empire's forbidden military interception system was destroyed by the surging abyssal demonic tide.

In such a time of crisis, the Red Heart Society, being fellow human beings, must provide strong support.

Soon, two special military weapons, personally inscribed with three super array patterns—breaking seal, explosive enhancement, and seal breaking—by the array master Jun Lao, arrived with the mission of supporting Sunset, bringing justice from the heavens and successfully reducing the demonic tide near Sunset's capital by more than half.

Of course, special military weapons are extremely powerful, and will inevitably cause some kind of ripple effect.

Unfortunately, the Sunset Royal Family is within the affected area.

Even though the Sunset Emperor activated the protective barrier in time, the powerful array, enhanced by the Nine Revolutions, crumbled instantly under the attack of the special military weapon, as if it were made of paper.
