You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 124 Since they are mortal enemies, then kill them! (5k)

Upon receiving the message, you acted without hesitation, immediately leading the Crimson Heart Legion to the front lines of the Abyss Battlefield.

As your direct subordinate battle group, the current Red Heart Battle Group, with its 30,000 members, can be said to have gathered the most elite professionals in the Red Heart Society.

They are full of fighting spirit!

Their fighting spirit is unwavering!

They obeyed orders!

They forged ahead bravely!

Even the weakest class in the Crimson Heart Clan is now at the fifth job advancement.

[The Red Heart Society collected the reserves of all the noble families in the Federation, reaped the millennia-long savings of the Winter Empire's royal family, and even obtained a large amount of extraordinary resources from the White Eagle Empire and the United States, crafting epic sets of armor for each member of this super warband that matched their level and profession.]

Especially in recent years, with the Abyss's rampages and the constant invasions of Abyss armies into the Abyss battlefield and borders, mountains of high-quality extraordinary materials have accumulated.

Under these circumstances, even the lowest-ranking members of the Red Heart Battle Group were wearing elite-level accessories that could be considered top-tier.

The core members of each combat team within the warband were equipped with epic-tier accessories and gear.

With the added bonus of Divine Crystal Refining effects from accessories and equipment, the increased refining speed from the Crimson Heart Refining Method's burning of lifespan, and the World Blessing of the War Provinces, the Crimson Heart Legion's strength undergoes dramatic changes every so often.

Even so, you're not sure if the Crimson Hearts Chapter can stop the Abyss Titan leader.

[If the other side gives you more time, until the basic version of the Crimson Heart Armor is researched and all members of the Crimson Heart Legion are equipped with this incredibly defensive armor, then perhaps the two sides can put up a fight.]

【But time waits for no one! 】

Now that the leader of the Abyss Titans has begun his actions, you must lead your troops to stop him.

If all else fails, then we will have to use all the sealing magic stones within the Red Heart Society to temporarily seal off the Abyss Battlefield.

However, you're not sure how long this method will hold off the Abyss Titan leader.

But ultimately, we need to give it a try.

When the Crimson Hearts Legion unleashed its full power, its overwhelming, sky-covering phantom image blocking the path of the Abyss Titan leader, this Titan, comparable in size to a mountain, slowly halted.

The next moment, a sound as powerful as thunder came from ahead.

【people!】

I can sense an extremely powerful protective force within your soul.

I have no intention of being your enemy!

Don't stop me, and I won't hurt you.

All I want is my daughter!

You paused slightly, taken aback by what the other person said.

【daughter?】

[You didn't dwell on it too much afterward. For you, unless the Abyss Titan itself has a mark, it's very difficult to distinguish its appearance.]

You stated that you have no intention of being enemies with the Titans; you simply want to protect your homeland.

If the other party is willing to trust you, then you can have a win-win solution.

[The southern border, where the other party's daughter resides, contains numerous abyssal demon caves.]

If the other party can give you a token, you can send their daughter into the Abyss of Demons, thus reuniting the family.

[But the Abyss Titan Lord fell silent after hearing your words.]

Just when you thought the situation was gradually improving, the other side suddenly flew into a rage, seemingly after hearing some news.

【people!】

It really was you!

How dare you imprison my daughter!

How dare you torture my daughter!

【You deserve to die! 】

Even if it means we both perish, I will avenge my daughter!

[Along with this thunderous rage, over a dozen powerful Abyss Titans simultaneously attacked the Crimsonheart Chapter.]

Although you were completely bewildered by the situation before you, you immediately activated your battle aura domain, unleashing your full power to engage your opponent in a fierce battle.

[Backstage, a level 9 professional player, working with the second Demon Sealing Team, took down several Abyss Titans for you.]

[However, the Abyss Titan leader grew increasingly enraged as the fight progressed. He seemed furious about your act of concealing your soul energy, believing you showed him no respect whatsoever.]

The scales of victory have begun to tip in favor of the Abyss Titan.

[In August of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the United States began urging you to repay your debt.]

They stated that if you refuse to repay your debt, they will send a ninth-tier professional to take over the Crimson Heart Battle Group.

You didn't say anything, but simply sent the other party a video of fighting the Abyss Titan leader.

[A caption reads: If you find the Nine-Turn Profession useful, then come over!]

The United States fell silent after watching the video.

They were being driven back by the Lava Demon's minions, but now it seems the Redhearts are fighting an even more terrifying Abyss Lord.

In October of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the leader of the Abyss Titans, for reasons unknown, once again went berserk.

[He was enveloped in a crimson light, and the moment other Abyss Titans came into contact with this light, they became extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty.]

Despite the Abyss Titan leader's desperate attempts to stop them, over a dozen berserk Abyss Titans broke through the defenses, throwing the Red Heart Society's well-prepared battle line and fortress into chaos. Hundreds of thousands of Red Heart soldiers perished in the ensuing turmoil.

The five guard regiments, in their desperate defense, were broken up and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing the situation worsening, you activated the Four Symbols Guardians of the Crimson Heart Chapter, pushing back all the Abyss Titans that had charged into the defensive line.

[Afterwards, you ordered everyone to withdraw from the Abyss Battlefield.]

As the entire army completed its withdrawal, the moment the Crimson Heart Legion withdrew from the Abyss Battlefield, the surrounding defenders, timing their actions perfectly, immediately used sealing magic stones to seal off the entire entrance to the Abyss Battlefield.

[Bang bang bang! 】

The Abyss Titan leader slammed its hammer down on the seal, shattering several layers with each strike.

However, the Red Heart Society began preparing for this retreat strategy several years ago.

So, there aren't many other things, but there are a lot of sealed magic stones.

[Given the sheer force of the Abyss Titan leader's hammer blows, coupled with the continuous stream of Sealing Magic Stones produced from the border battlefield, locking down the Abyss battlefield for at least a year and a half should be no problem.]

[In November of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you led the Crimson Heart Battle Group to the Southern Border Defense Line. Together with Elder Jun and Elder Jian, you unleashed your full power and utterly annihilated the Abyss Titan on the Southern Border Defense Line, reducing it to ashes and destroying its soul.]

The reason we didn't go all out against them earlier was to appease the Abyss Titan leader on the Abyss Battlefield.

[Currently, the enemy has caused the deaths of nearly one million members of the Red Heart Society, and injured millions more Red Heart warriors.]

With such losses, it would be a disservice to these soldiers fighting on the front lines not to utterly destroy the enemy!

Since they're mortal enemies, there's no need to worry about so much.

One word: Kill!

[In the same month, the leader of the Abyss Titans seemed to sense the fading of its bloodline and began an even more frenzied attack on the barrier at the entrance to the Abyss Battlefield.]

[In February of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, through numerous battles utilizing human will, you gained a deeper understanding of it.]

Finally, you can mobilize the dormant will within your body on a small scale to suppress surrounding enemies on a large scale.

After testing, you discovered that with Human Will Suppression, the defense of a level 98 Super Abyss Lord is significantly reduced.

That makes it much easier to kill them.

In a short time, you led the Crimson Heart Battle Group across multiple locations, annihilating all the level 98 super abyss lords surrounding the Crimson Heart faction.

[During this process, you obtained two Inspiration Fruits.]

[One of your contributions to the Red Heart Society platform will serve as a reward to incentivize Nine-Turn Profession players.]

[You secretly gave the other one to Elder Jian.]

As an angel investor in the Red Heart Society, Jian Lao deserves this precious gift.

[In March of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the assistance of the suppression of human will, you ventured into the ruins of the Winter Empire to launch a decapitation strike against the Super Abyss Lord.]

[And as you killed the eleventh, you felt a sharp pain in your head.]

[Soon after, you discover that the headaches aren't just happening to you; the 30,000 members of the Red Heart Warband around you are also experiencing migraines.]

This makes you realize that such a large-scale depletion of human resources may have uncontrollable drawbacks.

Therefore, it's best to save the methods that drain public support for a future crisis.

The most important thing at this stage is to improve the combat strength of all members of the Red Heart Battle Group and the Demon Sealing Battle Group.

[In May of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Era, Sword Elder advanced to level 95.]

[That same month, Elder Jun and Elder Jian approached you, summarizing their deeper insights into the realm of the soul in a written document, and handed it to you.]

You don't need to say anything, you don't need to ask anything.

Everything is understood without words.

In June of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, thanks to the joint efforts of numerous researchers in the Red Heart Society's Research Department, a new generation of intelligent brain, far surpassing the computing capabilities of the Federation's Intelligent Network, was born.

[The computing power of Chixin is thousands of times that of the Intelligent Network, and it far surpasses the Intelligent Network's computing capabilities in building skill coordination models, cultivation method deepening models, and scientific research assistance.]

With Chi Xin's involvement, the computing power problem that had plagued various departments of the research department was easily solved.

[In particular, the Chixin Society's Kung Fu Research Department has greatly improved its efficiency in various calculation methods and the construction of analytical models.]

[Even the Redheart AI can discover research bugs overlooked by researchers and provide suggestions on how to address these issues.]

[In July of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, based on the data related to your refinement of Starlight Battle Qi, the Crimson Heart Cultivation Research Department, with the cooperation of the Crimson Heart AI, has created a cultivation chamber for you with higher refinement efficiency.]

[In the same month, a cultivation method more suitable for refining Starlight Battle Qi was presented to you.] [According to the Red Heart Society's cultivation method research department, the quality of Starlight Battle Qi is too high; while your current refining method is effective, it is too inefficient.]

[Star Crystals and Moon Fragments, which can only be obtained from level 90 Abyss Lords, can be combined with Stardust Powder, Light Cloud Grass, and Pure Spirit Flower to create a Starlight Bath, which can increase the efficiency of refining Starlight Battle Aura by three times.]

[And so, at your command, the vast Red Heart will instantly begin to operate.]

The Red Heart Army and the Guardian Legion, located on the border, are particularly interested in killing the Abyss Lord.

【Star Crystallization!】

[Fragments of the Bright Moon!]

This is exactly the material you, the pioneer, need!

For you, for the Red Heart Society, they died without regret!

[Upon noticing the fanatical and reckless advances at the border, you, acting on orders from the Red Heart Society headquarters, urgently issued a document to the border prohibiting those whose combat strength was insufficient from hunting Abyss Lords.]

The Crimson Heart Battle Group, the Demon Sealing Battle Group, and even some top-ranked Guardian Battle Groups are qualified to hunt down level 90 Abyss Lords.

[But for other warbands, even the Red Heart Army, hunting high-level Abyss Lords is tantamount to suicide!]

Even more alarming, what were a group of militia members, now at the second level of military service, planning to do by crossing the border?

Want to see if you can overwhelm the Abyss Lord?

[In October of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the United States sent you another message requesting repayment. This time, you directly stated that you had no money, but you would send troops to the United States to provide support.]

However, do you think the United States would not agree to this idea?

After all, if millions of loyal soldiers were to march into the United States, it would be uncertain who would be in charge there.

[You can probably guess why the United States is demanding a loan from you based on your understanding of the way established families in that country operate.]

[A powerful family comprised of lunatics, gamblers, and criminals—there's nothing they wouldn't dare to touch.]

[In other words, with the Abyss invasion, almost all the world's nations have been wiped out.]

Otherwise, given the United States' character, the world would already be abuzz with accusations that the Red Heart Society wouldn't repay its loans.

However, you're wrong this time. The reason the United States keeps asking you for money isn't because they're actually short of cash, but because their domestic situation is terrible.

The lava demons on the United States' borders are so cunning.

Each time it senses the traces of a special military weapon being launched, the Lava Demon, accompanied by its elite forces, rushes into the abyss portal at top speed.

Although the special military weapon possessed extremely high explosive power, the invisible fluctuations contained within the Abyss Portal could directly offset the force of this solar explosion.

So far, the United States has launched no fewer than a hundred special weapons, yet they haven't even managed to knock off a single small rock from the Lava Demon.

The Lava Demon's minions and followers seemed to multiply with each explosion.

Wherever the opponent passed, a single call was enough to send the surrounding abyssal monster hordes charging excitedly in their wake.

Therefore, the United States leadership was excited when they received news that the Red Heart Society was willing to send troops to support them.

But after the excitement comes worry.

[With the Red Heart Society being so powerful, will they stay in the United States after coming here?]

However, a United States family produced the Red Heart Society's loan agreement, stating that the Red Heart Society had already defaulted according to the agreed-upon terms.

In a sense, they have gained direct control over the Red Hearts Chapter.

The Crimson Hearts Legion is one of the most elite super legions in the world.

[If they can control the Red Heart Battle Group, what else do they need to worry about?]

Although this proposal might seem absurd to shrewd and rational politicians, in a life-or-death situation, even with only a one in ten thousand chance, it's worth the United States' powerful families taking a gamble.

Since its establishment, the Red Heart Society seems to have had no instances of breaching its promises, right?

[Look at the national bonds that the Red Heart Society issued to the people of the whole country a few years ago; weren't they settled immediately upon maturity?]

Where was there even the slightest delay?

[Although, according to the United States' investigation, given the Red Heart Society's financial deficit at the time, the Red Heart Society headquarters ordered the Red Heart Bank to assume this national debt.]

Regardless, the Red Heart Society implemented this policy.

[If that's the case, then the loan documents they possess are crucial evidence for taking over the Red Heart Battle Group.]

In November of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the United States opened a large-scale teleportation array to the Red Heart Society.

When you received this message, your mind went blank.

[The lighthouse across the ocean, the most suitable habitat for human civilization, has actually granted teleportation access to the Red Heart Society?]

【it is good! 】

This is wonderful!

In this era of universal mobilization within the Red Heart Society, you desperately crave such a vast, resource-rich new continent, isolated from the main battlefield.

With just a little modification, this land occupied by the United States could become the cradle for the Red Heart Society to survive in the future.

Of course, now that the Red Heart Society has arrived, the forbidden and special military weapons of the United States are no longer necessary or valuable.

[At your command, millions of troops assembled and, via a massive teleportation array, marched towards the United States across the ocean.]

Objective: Recapture lost territory!

According to historical records, this area has been occupied by the founders of the Red Heart Society since ancient times.

When the Red Heart Society's banner first flew over the land of the United States, the Lava Demon on the other side shuddered, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

The Lava Demon trusted his whims and intuition far too much.

So He began to observe His surroundings.

Not long after, He discovered the banner of the Loyal Heart Society.

This gave Him a headache. He had already traversed oceans and continents to reach the other side of this world; how could the Red Heart Society possibly catch up?

[Is it a quack remedy?]

【OK! 】

You're ruthless!

You're awesome!

Since you're here, I'll leave.

The world is so big, isn't there a place for me, a lava being?

However, just as the Lava Demon was preparing to pack up and run away, the old man's voice rang in the other's mind.

[The gist is that we, the Red Heart Society, didn't come here to fight you, so you don't need to run.]

Of course, the Red Heart Society needs your cooperation in putting on a show.

If you act well, the Red Heart Society can act as your henchman, helping you deal with a deep-seated opponent you are unable or unwilling to confront.

Surely you have enemies in the abyss?

A flicker of confusion crossed the lava demon's eyes, which were as large as small mountains.

Humans are actually making a deal with Him, the lord of the abyss?

[This isn't to say it's impossible; the main issue is that the Abyss Will that has extended this time is merely a projection, and its oversight isn't very strong, so it's not entirely unacceptable.]

【play!】

[I have to act!]

[Isn't it just a performance to cooperate with the Red Heart Society?]

[If the Red Heart Society can help Him eliminate His competitors, then such a thing is entirely possible.]

As the wise have taught, those who understand the times are the heroes.

Although humans and Abyss Lords are, in essence, mortal enemies.

But if the benefits are sufficient, cooperation is possible!

[Minor issue!]

Since He is a demon, He has neither face nor conscience. As long as a sincere heart approves, then He has no problem with it.

Thinking of this, the lava demon's enormous old face instantly broke into a strange smile, like a chrysanthemum blooming deep within a mountain range.

In December of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society, at the request of the United States, moved into the border defense line to begin resisting the Lava Demon's servant army.

[In this first step, under Lin Xue's command, the Red Heart Army advanced and established their positions in a very orderly manner.]

However, during this process, it was common for members of the lower classes of the United States to kneel down and lodge complaints along the Red Heart Army's advance.

They knew that the Red Heart Society was specifically there to stand up for the underprivileged!

Therefore, upon learning of the arrival of the Red Heart Army, the most powerful force under the Red Heart Society, they came here one by one to lodge their complaints.

Regarding these matters, Lin Xue simply had the complainants brought to the military camp, without taking any immediate action.

At the request of the Red Heart Society, the United States army began a full-scale withdrawal.

Of course, all types of military equipment along the border need to be retained.

After all, even when the Red Heart Army attacks the Abyss Army, they still need military equipment as auxiliary weapons.

After everything was prepared, the old soldier unleashed a terrifying aura and soared into the air.

On the other side, as the massive lava demon turned around, a flame flickered deep within its pupils.

This is their agreed-upon code!

【bring it on! 】

I'm ready!
