My profession panel inspires loyalty.

【I am responsible for their future! 】

If I pass on this technique to them, and they can survive the brutal wars of the future, then I believe the value of this technique surpasses everything else!

[In your heart, are the thousands of soldiers who have entrusted their lives to you less important than the broken technique in your head?]

If you truly can't bear to part with them, or if you believe the lives of your soldiers are less valuable than the so-called clan rules, I have a way to satisfy both parties.

[You ask the soldiers of the Seventeenth Regiment to change their identities and join my Red Heart Regiment.]

[I will pass on the skills to them! ]

[You don't care about their lives, but I do! ]

I absolutely don't want to see my comrades, who were happily chatting together just a few days ago, die tragically at the hands of abyssal monsters or other professionals two days later because they lack the amplification of their skills.

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment was shocked by your words. He stared blankly ahead, his mind in a state of confusion.

Your words shattered his entire worldview.

[Isn't the education given to all scions of noble families from childhood to keep such precious information, which benefits future generations, hidden?]

【People can die! 】

【But the technique must not be leaked! 】

【Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of the family! 】

If you don't pass on the skills to your soldiers, they will think you are fooling them and that you are not a good person.

[But you did this, and then you scolded him from a higher perspective.]

He had nothing to say about this.

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment remained silent for a moment, then said he needed to calm down.

[Three days later, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment led a thousand-man team to the Red Heart Regiment's base.]

[This thousand-man team consists of at least three-level professionals, with hundreds of fourth-level professionals as well.]

[Among them, there are two fifth-level professionals.]

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment was filled with guilt. After thinking for a long time, he concluded that what you said made a lot of sense.

[The technique can indeed enhance the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield.]

Although he couldn't do this, he could send these most loyal soldiers to the Red Heart Regiment.

[They all work for the Federation, so there's no need to make such a clear distinction.]

[He assured you that he would take care of your transfer to the military.]

[He even promised to arrange ten large energy beam cannons for you. Even a sixth-rank professional would be seriously injured if fired from this one.]

[Ten energy beam cannons fired simultaneously. Even a rank seven professional couldn't withstand it for long.]

[You silently chose to accept the gift from the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment.]

[Since these members of the Seventeenth Regiment have come to the Red Heart Regiment, you are not going to let them go.]

[In the near future, the Seventeenth Regiment will go out to fight against the White Eagle Empire and suffer heavy losses.]

[In a sense, you have saved the lives of these members of the regiment.]

[In October of the 130th year of the Supernatural Calendar, you reorganized the members of these seventeen regiments and arranged them into the various formations of the Red Heart Regiment.]

[As for the two fifth-level professionals, you will assign them honorary positions and place them on standby.]

[After all, they haven't pledged their loyalty to you, so you can't just give them command.]

After thoroughly understanding all aspects of these members, you fulfilled your promise and selected appropriate techniques for these Seventeenth Regiment members to practice.

[Such a precious technique, just give it to them.]

[This deeply touched the hearts of the Seventeenth Regiment members, coupled with your recent speeches and promises.]

[Most members of the Seventeenth Regiment pledge their loyalty to you.]

[In November of the 130th year of the Supernatural Calendar, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment gave you a level 40 epic accessory: the Sky Crystal Necklace.]

[Blessing ①: Ignore 10% of the target's physical defense.]

[Blessing ②: Ignore 8% of the target's energy defense.]

[Blessing ③: Increases your own Dou Qi damage by 15%.]

[Blessing ④: Increases the refining speed of God-Granted Crystals by 20%.]

[When you saw the four attributes of the Sky Crystal Necklace, your eyes widened.]

[Level 40 accessories, with four entries.]

[And the four items of the Sky Crystal Necklace are truly the best of the best!]

[As long as it's a percentage of neglect or enhancement, it's all top-notch.]

[Not to mention the three percentage-based blessings in the Sky Crystal Necklace, all of which are perfectly suited to the Warrior class's attribute blessings.]

[The last one increases the speed of refining the God-given crystals, which is even more amazing.]

[Honestly, this is the first time you've seen such perfect jewelry attributes. Even the jewelry on the front page of the military and the Administration's logistics department pales in comparison to the Sky Crystal Necklace.]

If such a treasure were put up for auction, it would probably make people outside beat their brains out.

【But now, the other party just gave it to you like this. 】

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment smiled faintly. "I have no use for this Sky Crystal Necklace anymore. It's just gathering dust in my hands."

【Since this is the case, it would be better to give him to someone in need. 】

He didn't emphasize the preciousness of the Sky Crystal Necklace, nor did he mention how much he and his family had spent to acquire it.

【For truly intelligent people, a brief mention is enough. 】

【As for gathering dust? 】

[This exquisite necklace is extremely useful.]

You feel the other person's sincerity and understand what they mean.

[The thousand-man team he sent over could be said to be the most loyal to him among the Seventeenth Regiment, a pure force of his own.]

So he wants you to treat this loyal unit better, at least not deliberately suppress or target it, or even deliberately send it to its doom on a future battlefield.

[This kind of thing happened too often on the battlefield, so he had to prepare for it.]

【But it's obvious that he still doesn't know you well enough. 】

[The moment this thousand-man team arrived, you had no intention of letting them go.]

[From the moment this team pledges their loyalty to you, you have already regarded them as your true family.]

[Of course, since they've already given me the gift, there's no reason to refuse it.]

If I refuse, I'm sure the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment won't be able to sleep well after returning.

[But generally speaking, the more you interact with him, the more you feel that the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment is a good person!]

[Send soldiers first, then weapons, and then the best treasures.]

[It's been a long time since I've met such a nice person. ]

So you hinted subtly that if the White Eagle Empire invades in the future, it would be best to stay on this side of the Abyss.

【Don't get involved in wars between nations.】

[Regarding your hint, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment waved his hand, not caring at all.]

【A real man should do something while he is alive! 】

If I can expand the Federation's territory and leave my name in history during my lifetime, then my life will be worth it!

[In December of the 130th year of the Supernormal Calendar, thanks to your dedicated efforts, the First and Second Guard Regiments of the Red Heart Society have become Class A combat groups.]

[According to your test, the current Red Heart Regiment is already able to defeat the bottom of the numbered regiments.]

[However, before the national war breaks out, it's best not to be too conspicuous.]

[In Cloud City, you continued to expand the Red Heart Army and purchased fifteen different military formation cores through high-level channels within the Seventeenth Regiment.]

[In the same month, you reached level 40 and began to devote yourself to the process of honing your golden fighting spirit.]

After receiving this news, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment hastened to advise you not to cultivate your Golden Dou Qi.

[Even with the assistance of cultivation techniques and the acceleration of the Cloud Slash Crystal, even if Dou Qi reaches the Gold Rank, it is still a long-term project.]

[There was an old veteran in the military who was originally a gifted young man, but because of his high aspirations, he decided to hone his golden fighting spirit in order to have a more perfect future.]

[As a result, after ten years of fighting, the battle was still not complete.]

[Finally, under the persuasion of the family elders, I reluctantly gave up on honing my Golden Dou Qi, wasting ten years in vain. It was truly a pity.]

[You ignored the advice of the Seventeenth Regiment's leader.]

[You want to see how much effort it takes to polish this golden fighting spirit?]

[In January of the 131st year of the Transcendental Calendar, when the Red Heart Regiment pushed the Thirty-Second Front 180 kilometers outward, preparing to destroy the Silver Monster's lair 220 kilometers away and seize the Mithril mine beneath it, something unexpected happened.]

In the early hours of the morning, the White Eagle Empire declared war on the Federation, alleging that the Federation had plundered its property.

[When this news reached your ears, you were slightly stunned.]

【Isn’t this something that will happen next year? 】

[Such a major national war, will the White Eagle Empire also start it early? ]

【In this situation, you are the only variable.】

So you can't help but wonder, could it be that because the Chixin Society was short of money and you went to the White Eagle Empire to harvest, this national war broke out prematurely?

[Compared to the vast size of the White Eagle Empire, you haven't harvested much, have you?]

[According to your plan, if I give you another six months, both the Red Heart Society and the Red Heart Battle Group will surely flourish.]

[By then, you will have greater power to gain advantages in the upcoming melee.]

[As a result, the White Eagle Empire's sudden declaration of war completely disrupted your plans.]

Chapter 88: 300,000 Loyalists Arrive, Shaking the World (5k)

[The White Eagle Empire's declaration of war also disrupted the Federation's deployment.]

The Federal Military Department urgently issued an order to transfer half of the Class A regiments and one-third of the numbered regiments from the four major defense zones of the Abyss Battlefield to the Northern Frontier.

[The development of the Abyss Battlefield can be put on hold for now.]

[But if the White Eagle Empire breaks through the defense, the Federation Center will be in danger.]

[However, before the transfer order was issued, the principal of the War College, acting as the Deputy Minister of the Military Department, called you to ask if the Red Heart Regiment could hold the defense line where the Seventeenth Regiment was located.]

[The defense line guarded by the Seventeenth Regiment is a key node in the eastern defense zone and one of the core points of the eastern defense formation.]

[Directly behind this line of defense is a large magic crystal mine. The output of this magic crystal mine accounts for one-thirtieth of the federal military expenditure.]

[It is for this reason that the Federation dispatched seventeen regiments to suppress and defend.]

[The military knows the Red Heart Society's wealth, and they also know how much resources you can leverage to support the defense.]

The War College's president is aware of your ambitions and has learned from various military intelligence sources that the Red Heart Society has been developing its military capabilities.

[Although the sincerity may be hidden very deeply, there is never a shortage of smart people in the world.]

[From just a few clues, they were able to analyze the truth behind many things.]

If it weren't for your status as a War College student, and the fact that the military has observed the ethnic, class, transcendental, revolutionary, and ideological conflicts within the White Eagle Empire, fueled by these multiple conflicts, and believing that a war between the Federation and the White Eagle Empire was inevitable, the military would have already taken action against the Red Heart Society.

It was because of the military pressure from the White Eagle Empire and the Winter Empire, and the survival difficulties brought about by the repeated defeats on the Abyssal Front, that the military repeatedly tolerated the existence of the Red Heart Society.

[The bottom line for you from the military leaders is that the troops under your command must be kept hidden and not exposed to the public.]

【Since ancient times, it has been said that if the people do not sue, the officials will not be held accountable! 】

Although the military doesn't know the exact military power the Red Heart Society possesses, they can at least guess what it is.

[That's why the War College president asked this question.]

[I don't ask you to attack, as long as you can rely on major military equipment and prevent the Abyss Giants from breaking through the defense, then you will be considered a meritorious service!]
