My profession panel inspires loyalty.

The remaining two-thirds will be borne by the Red Heart Association.

[Luckily, we've received sufficient funds from several provincial families during this period. Otherwise, the Chixin Society wouldn't have been able to complete this transaction in one go.]

[In July of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Federation's Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of the military arrived in the Southern Territory and insisted on acting like a big shot, giving orders in front of a group of professionals.]

[A single mistake resulted in a significant breach in the Federation's southern border defenses.]

[The Winter Empire army achieved a strategic military victory by expanding this gap.]

After the Winter Empire's army broke through the defenses and entered the hinterland, the Federation General Office urgently called on the entire nation's military to support the southern border.

In August of the 135th year of the Supernormal Calendar, Lin Xue, the second-in-command of the Red Heart Society, publicly stated that the Red Heart Society was willing to support the Southern Territory.

[In the past, the Red Heart Society was able to repel the Winter Empire's army and defeat the Winter Empire's magic group. They can still do it now!]

[When this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.]

[However, the Federation General Office and the Federation Military chose to ignore this news.]

In September of the 135th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after the Frosty Winter Empire conquered the South Sea Province and the South Qing Province, the Crimson Heart Battle Group led thirty guard battle groups, in coordination with a million Crimson Heart soldiers, into the South Qing Province from the border of the North Lake Province.

[Due to the complex terrain of the mountains in Nanqing Province, the Red Heart Army, with the guidance of many locals within its ranks and following your instructions, has begun to use the challenging terrain as a base to launch comprehensive raids and harassment against the Winter Empire's army.]

Under these circumstances, the Winter Empire's army suffered heavy losses.

[Even a Wolf Rider Corps of the Winter Empire was annihilated by the Red Heart Regiment's surprise attack.]

[In November of the 135th year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Red Heart Army continued to accept the remnants of the Federation Army from the southern border during their advance, and provided them with humanitarian care under extremely generous conditions.]

Under the care of the Red Heart Army and influenced by the Red Heart Society's ideology, these federal troops quickly regrouped and joined the Red Heart Army.

[In January of the 136th year of the Transcendent Calendar, the Red Heart Army, a million strong, formed a siege and attack. Led by the Red Heart Regiment, they launched an attack from all sides against the Winter Empire's army.]

The Winter Empire's army looked at the endless, densely packed Red Heart Army around them, their minds gradually exploded.

[With the defeat of the Winter Empire's mage group, the 800,000-strong Winter Empire army began to disintegrate.]

[Until the very end, someone shouted, "The mages have all fled. What are we waiting for if we don't run?"]

[For a moment, the Winter Empire's army completely collapsed.]

[In February of the 136th year of the Supernormal Calendar, the Red Heart Society recaptured Nanqing Province.]

[In March of the 136th year of the Supernormal Calendar, the Red Heart Society recaptured the Nanhai Province.]

In May of the 136th year of the Supernormal Calendar, under the fearless attack of millions of Red Heart soldiers, the fortress at the southern border of the Federation, which had been captured by the Winter Empire, was recaptured by the Red Heart Society.

【When the news spread, the whole country rejoiced. 】

The Federation's incompetence and the Red Heart Society's strength formed a stark contrast at this moment.

[Not only the lower-class people and the middle class of the Federation, but even the aristocratic families of the Federation began to feel that the Federation was incompetent.]

How did the ferocious Winter Empire army become so weak in front of the Red Heart Army?

[The Winter Empire army that the Federation General Office has been promoting doesn't seem to be very strong, huh?]

[But why do the Federation Army always seem to be unable to defeat the Winter Empire Army?]

[Most importantly, after the remnants of the federal army were gathered by the Red Heart Society and dressed in Red Heart Army uniforms, why was it that they were able to suddenly burst out with astonishing combat power?]

[Does the Red Heart Society's system and ideology truly possess an absolute advantage over the Federation?]

[The Red Heart Society's victory in the national war was naturally accompanied by an unparalleled increase in prestige.]

[With your terrifying prestige, coupled with the Red Heart Society's emphasis on public opinion and publicity, admirers and followers flocked to you from all over the place.]

[Some people even looked towards the Red Heart Society before they died.]

【That is faith! 】

[It is also the last ray of light that those who fall into darkness see before they die!]

[Their desires, their beliefs, and their lifelong pursuits all seem to resonate with the Red Heart Society.]

[Under these circumstances, in some nearby areas, at the explicit instruction of members of the Red Heart Society branch, garrison troops and warbands spontaneously launched uprisings.]

If the federal officials in these areas cooperate, everyone will be happy.

[If they don't cooperate, they'll all be killed.]

[In a sense, finding a subtle common ground is difficult, but the person who proposes the solution is simple.]

[In June of the 136th year of the Transcendent Calendar, the Federation General Office and the aristocratic families decided that this situation could not continue.]

[Your prestige throughout the country has reached a level unprecedented and unparalleled.]

[So, they mobilize their own networks and begin frantically searching for negative information about you, hoping to tarnish your image.]

[However, no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find any negative information about you.]

[And all your monstrous earnings from stock trading were invested in the development of the Red Heart Society.]

[The vast majority of the remaining time is spent honing your golden fighting spirit.]

[Even when they look at the survey report in front of them, they doubt whether you have any personal desires?]

[That's true. There's not a single piece of negative information to be found.]

[If there really is one, it's probably because you overestimated your abilities and wasted years honing your golden fighting spirit.]

[Of course, there is another point, and that is that you have no offspring.]

[But isn't it ridiculous to publicize this kind of thing? ]

[In September of the 136th year of the Transcendent Calendar, with Nanyun Province as the starting point, Nanhe Province as the core, and the southern provinces as the end point, almost half of the provinces in the entire federation fell into the control of the Red Heart Society.]

[When the Red Heart Army takes over a province, the Red Heart Society will begin to fully develop there.]

After receiving official recognition, the Red Heart Society's influence began to explode at a terrifying speed.

[Almost every family has members of the Red Heart Society.]

In the vast majority of cases, everyone from adults to children can join the Red Heart Club by completing its assessment criteria.

[The Red Heart Society has reached an unprecedented peak of prosperity.]

[In the same month, the Red Heart Society introduced the "National Awakening Act."]

This bill is completely opposed to the federal bill, and is significantly different from the awakening bills enacted by other countries around the world.

[In other countries, even the so-called most democratic United States, professionals still need to pay to obtain their awakening qualifications.]

[After all, the Awakening Light Orb requires the consumption of strategic energy crystals for energy replenishment. How expensive is an energy crystal?]

[We can’t let the country spend money for nothing, right?]

[Furthermore, even if the United States agrees, the various financial and monopoly families at the top of the United States will not agree.]

[They have all awakened and mastered extraordinary powers. What if they form a violent group and rebel? ]

Especially after the Red Heart Society took over half of the Federation and nearly overthrew it, the rulers of various countries felt that their restrictions on the Extraordinary Law were so wise and powerful.

If the Federation had been stricter in guarding the Awakening Orb, how could the Red Heart have developed so rapidly?

If any organization or individual who secretly awakens others is considered treasonous, then how can the Red Heart Society's military be formed?

[Therefore, the number of awakening places must be more strictly restricted! ]

Otherwise, their ruling status will be overthrown by the untouchables who make up the vast majority.

[In October of the 136th year of the Supernatural Calendar, during the continued standoff between the Red Heart Army and the Winter Empire's army, you launched a trial against all the aristocratic families within the territory.]

[Operation codename: Bright!]

[Before the Chixin Society came, the children of aristocratic families relied on their background and abilities to wantonly oppress the common people, leaving the lower classes with no way to suffer.]

[Even worse, they don't take the lives of the lower classes seriously at all.]

[Every time they call him a pariah, every time they call him a troublemaker.]

But now, when this force converges, it has plunged the powerful families into panic.

[After all, I still have some idea of ​​what they have done.]

That evening, all the noble families still within the federally governed areas gathered at the federal center to discuss the matter.

[The actions of the Red Heart Society are not giving them a way to survive, they are forcing them to death! ]

[Since that's the case, don't blame them for being ruthless! ]

Since internal forces cannot provide them with assistance, they should seek the intervention of external forces!

Chapter 94: Threatening the Winter Empire: The Home Exchange Policy (5k)

In January of the 137th year of the Transcendent Calendar, the Qin family of the Federation sent three envoys to the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire, carrying the requests of the Federation's aristocratic families.

[The Winter Empire has already started a war with the Red Heart Society in the southern border, so the Winter Empire does not need to worry about it.]

After meeting with the leaders of the two empires, the envoy stated that as long as the two empires were willing to send troops, the Federation would be willing to give up half of the profits from the Federation's border crossings over the next ten years.

[For a country as large as the Federation, the customs and taxes imposed on both the internal and external borders are extremely horrific.]

[However, purely economic issues are still not enough to shake the strategic policies of the two empires.]

[Initially, the top leaders of the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire disagreed.]

[After all, the two sides have been fighting for so long, and the real fire has already been raging.]

[Cooperate with the other party and send troops together to wipe out the Red Heart Society?]

【How can it be? 】

[When a national war is imminent, it is still necessary to prioritize gathering troops and destroying all the enemy's living forces.]

【Only in this way can one gain sufficient benefits for one's country. 】

[This benefit is much greater than the so-called border benefits of the Federation.]

However, as the Qin family's envoys began to roam among the upper echelons of the two empires, their main targets were the aristocratic families of the White Eagle Empire and the Sunset Empire.

They took the scale of the Red Heart Society's development and combined it with the Red Heart Society's slogans.

Especially when the aristocratic families were judged, all their wealth was stripped away, and all the resources accumulated by the aristocratic families over the years were distributed to the lower classes, the aristocratic families of the two empires were also moved.

As powerful figures in charge of a region, they naturally possess political foresight beyond the ordinary.

They immediately saw the Red Heart Society's appeal to the lower classes, and their ability to disrupt the Federation to such an extent that they even forced the Federation to seek aid from the two empires also revealed the Red Heart Society's war potential.

If such an organization, which speaks for the lower classes and judges the aristocratic families and deprives them of all their wealth, were allowed to develop, it would surely bring hope to the lower classes of their own country.

[The current Red Heart Society has not yet gained federal power, nor has it achieved victory in the war.]

Therefore, they don’t pay much attention to the struggles in the international community.

[But once the Red Heart Society takes power, it will inevitably turn its attention to other countries in order to expand its influence and become more powerful.]

[By then, a so-called Red Heart Society branch will inevitably be born in their country.]

[This is something they cannot allow! ]

If the Red Heart Society is weak, they can provide them with weapons and resources, allowing them to wreak havoc within the Federation.

[But now the Red Heart Society has grown to the point where it can rival the Winter Empire, and this is only when it controls half of the Federation.]

If the Red Heart Society completely controls the Federation, a true dragon will emerge from their ranks!

[In any case, this is something they don't want to see.]

[Of course, there is a deeper reason.]

[The aristocratic families of the Federation all have marriage ties with aristocratic families of other empires to varying degrees.]

[In other words, they are all relatives.]

[My relatives have all come to me for help and have offered me sufficient incentives, so I should help if I can.]

If relatives fight on the battlefield, the loser can simply pay a ransom to the other party. Under normal circumstances, there is no danger to their lives.

[But if the Red Heart Society, a cult organization, were to gain power, they wouldn't dare to imagine how the war would develop in the future!]

[Thus, with the Qin family of the Federation acting as a middleman, and the Federation willing to raise the stakes again by dividing parts of the northern and eastern borders between the two empires, the White Eagle Empire and Sunset Empire's top brass reached a secret agreement that evening.]

The two empires are engaged in a border conflict, maintaining a superficial situation to mislead the Red Heart Society.

[The truly elite regiments and armies will utilize the power of the large-scale teleportation array to gather at the Federation Center first.]
