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

Chapter 137 The Deterrence of Super Military Weapons (5k)

When the military's order reached the border troops and the combat groups, everyone was stunned.

【what? 】

[Am I dreaming?]

[Has the central city of the Federation fallen to the Red Heart Society?]

[Has there been a high-level defection?]

Otherwise, why would such a military order be issued?

The military's orders, issued nationwide, quickly reached the Federal General Office and the elite families.

The Federal Headquarters was immediately enraged.

But when they sent their central army to surround the military headquarters, they found the old general walking out of the headquarters with a nonchalant air.

Upon receiving this news, the Qin family patriarch immediately ordered the central army to clear a path.

[To block a level 9 professional is tantamount to suicide!]

Now he finally realized that the one standing behind the Red Heart Society was none other than Elder Jun, a ninth-rank cultivator.

[If that's the case, then the Red Heart Society's rapid growth likely indicates the military is secretly supporting it.]

Damn it!

[There are also a large number of members from powerful families in the military's high command. How could they allow the Red Heart Society to target these families like this?]

Don't they know they also come from distinguished families?

Most importantly, even if there are so-called military discipline rules against interfering, wouldn't it be alright to notify the family?

【idiot! 】

[A bunch of idiots brainwashed by so-called military discipline!]

No matter how important military discipline or federal laws are, are they more important than the safety of one's family?

[In the same month, the Qin family patriarch was awakened.]

When the Qin family elder and the military elder clashed, the military elder overwhelmingly defeated and annihilated him.

[The Qin family patriarch wore an expression of disbelief until his death.]

A few years ago, we were all in the class of '93.

[How did you become a level 95 professional in less than a few years?]

[Is he cheating?]

In December of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Liu Wentao and other high-ranking military officials arrived at the Abyss Battlefield, instructing all members of the battle groups not to engage in internal strife, but to preserve their strength in preparation for future expansionist wars.

Most of the warbands, seeing that the battle had been decided, did not resist further.

However, the numbered battle groups, comprised of scions of powerful families at the middle and upper levels, expressed strong protests against this.

The Red Hearts Fighting Group did not tolerate these stubborn elements.

In a direct confrontation between the warbands, the Red Heart Warband swiftly annihilated these stubborn warbands.

The power unleashed by the Crimson Hearts Battle Group shocked the entire Federation Battle Group.

[It turns out that the Crimson Hearts Legion's strengths extend beyond just defense.]

[Even the Red Heart Legion's attacks are more explosive than their defenses.]

The reason the Red Hearts Alliance has been so tolerant lately is that they don't want to harm their compatriots and they don't want to start a civil war.

Once the external forces determine a victor, this civil war will naturally cease.

In January of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the border troops of the Southern, Northern, and Western borders, under the command of the military headquarters, all joined the Red Heart Army.

Only the Eastern Border Army of the Federation, shouting the slogan "Better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life," launched a suicidal attack on the Red Heart Army that was taking over.

These slogans and methods of attack inevitably remind you of the Sunset Empire.

[It seems that while the Eastern Frontier army was stationed there, its high command had unknowingly been corrupted by the Sunset Empire.]

This news greatly angered Liu Wentao and other high-ranking military officials.

Now they suddenly understood why the Sunset Empire's border troops were always able to break through the eastern border defenses and periodically wreak havoc within the Federation.

It turns out that all of this stemmed from the Eastern Border Army.

In the same month, two million border troops of the Sunset Empire gathered at the frontier, preparing to enter federal territory under the banner of supporting the Federation's restoration of rule.

[In February of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, three million loyal soldiers, under your command, launched an attack on the eastern border army.]

[Under the same size and military strength, the Federation's Eastern Border Army is far less effective than the Red Heart Army.]

[During the battle, there were even instances where a single Red Heart Army soldier fought against ten others.]

[This was the only large-scale civil war that broke out during the Red Heart Society's overthrow of the Federation; it started quickly and ended just as quickly.]

[The war had already ended here by the time the Sunset Empire's border troops were even preparing to enter the eastern border.]

After the Red Heart Army took over the eastern border defenses, they directly drove the Sunset Empire's border troops out of the country.

[After that, he did not step outside the eastern border defense line.]

This greatly excited the Sunset Empire's border troops, who believed that the newly arrived Red Heart Army was no different from the previous Federation's eastern border troops.

They provoked us at will, even violating our territory, yet we offered no resistance.

【Rubbish! 】

[He has absolutely no airs of military arrogance!]

[The high command of the Red Heart Army understands your long-prepared super military strike plan. Now everything is ready; the only thing missing is the final assembly of the super military weapon.]

In March of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Federation army and its members were reorganized and restructured.

The size of the Guardian Corps and the Red Heart Army has undergone a major expansion.

You seem to be very familiar with this matter.

[You're even quite familiar with the troublemakers within the Federation army and warbands.]

These people should be grouped together in one queue for easier processing later.

[In the same month, five million Red Heart soldiers besieged the city and launched an attack on the heavily defended federal capital.]

As the Red Heart Army prepared to launch a fierce attack targeting the weak points in the defenses, the main gate of the Federal Central City slowly opened.

[Under the leadership of the Qin family, the federal high command voted.]

[Qin Bailang, in particular, experienced the lowest point of his life during this period, gaining a profound understanding of the unpredictability of life.]

When the Red Heart Society first began defaulting on its debts and launching a nationwide rebellion, he was held accountable by his family. The head of the Qin family stripped him of his title as the young master of the Qin family and expelled him from the Qin family's direct lineage.

From then on, he was just an ordinary member of the Qin family.

After all, because of him, the Qin family suffered enormous losses in the Red Heart Society affair.

Therefore, someone has to take the blame for this.

Thus, Qin Bailang became the scapegoat.

After his family's status plummeted, Qin Bailang faced unprecedented suppression.

[His previously obedient and well-behaved younger brother has started targeting him, both openly and subtly.]

The Qin family's collateral branches, who had previously fawned over him, have now begun to swagger and bully him.

After he finally lost his temper and attacked, he was severely punished by the elders of the Enforcement Hall who arrived at the scene.

[Furthermore, after a family trial, all his equipment and skills were stripped away.]

His professional skill level was also sealed by his family using a sealing artifact.

His father did not appear at any point during this process.

From that moment on, he went from being a renowned prodigy of the Federation to a worthless nobody who could be bullied at will.

Those he once looked down upon, or even his household servants, now dared to trample on his dignity at will.

Normally, this would be absolutely impossible in the strictly rule-bound Qin family!

[To deceive one's master is a grave taboo!]

No member of the Qin family would allow this to happen.

After all, he still carries the blood of the Qin family.

[But this still happened, and even after the Qin family's manager learned of it, he only gave a verbal reprimand.]

In an instant, an overwhelming wave of malice pressed down on him.

He was confused and didn't understand.

Was the affection he shared with his father over the past thirty years all a sham?

Aren't all of the Qin family's decisions and strategies made by Father?

He was merely an executor.

But why did he end up being the one punished?

When his half-brother was made the heir to the family, he witnessed the scene of filial piety between father and son at the ceremony, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

[His father had never smiled at him like that before.]

But before he could despair for long, another unexpected event occurred.

[As the Red Heart Society swept through and took control of the Red Heart Society's border troops, they annihilated all the resisting Eastern Border troops.]

With such fighting prowess, how could one not be afraid?

Most importantly, the Nine-Turn Ancestor, whom the Federation's aristocratic families regarded as the cornerstone of their power, was killed by the Nine-Turn professionals behind the Red Heart Society.

What else do they have to be proud of?

How long can the defenses of the federal central city hold out?

Since we can't hold the city anyway, we might as well open the gates and surrender now; maybe we can still save our lives.

Under these circumstances, the Qin family thought of Qin Bailang, the former young master of the Qin family with whom you had a deep connection.

Thus, through a joint vote by all the elders of the Qin family, Qin Bailang was restored to his status as the young master of the Qin family.

Just as he was preparing to take revenge and make those who had insulted him pay the price, the Qin family patriarch told him to be more magnanimous. [As the future head of the Qin family, you must have a broad vision and an extraordinary mind!]

How can one become a prime minister if one cannot be magnanimous?

Faced with this kind of moral blackmail ostensibly for your own good, Qin Bailang, when he was in a disadvantageous position, could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

When he opened the city gates and met you as the representative of the aristocratic families, he bowed deeply and made a condition.

That means wiping out the entire Qin family!

[Exterminate the entire Qin family, including their nine clans!]

[All members of the Qin family, all servants, henchmen, and retainers living within the Qin family, shall be executed!]

When Qin Bailang brought up this news, even you, with your vast experience, were slightly taken aback.

However, when you see Qin Bailang's somewhat deranged face, you can roughly guess the reason.

[Then, you got up and went to Qin Bailang's side, gently patting his shoulder.]

【Brother Bailang! 】

【rest assured!】

I can't guarantee anything else, but I can absolutely fulfill this request of yours!

The following day, news spread throughout the entire federal center: the powerful Qin family had been wiped out.

Such bloody methods instilled fear and unease in all the powerful families throughout the Federation.

However, the common people, upon learning of this, were overjoyed and began submitting records of the various powerful families' crimes to the Red Heart Society.

In June of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Sunset Empire, in alliance with the Winter Empire, demanded that the Red Heart Society repay all loans and interest.

[At the same time, the war mobilization costs for the Sunset Empire and the Winter Empire also need to be settled.]

[Without the Sunset Empire threatening the Eastern Border and the Winter Empire threatening the Southern Border, the Crimson Heart Society would never have achieved such brilliant results.]

[The White Eagle Empire's political report published an article stating that the Sunset Empire and the Winter Empire are taking advantage of the situation!]

Making these demands at a time when the Red Heart Society most needs to recuperate and rebuild is nothing short of extortion!

The Sunset Empire and the Winter Empire responded swiftly to this incident, shamelessly presenting their military expenditure reports to the world.

The Peacock Empire, observing the actions of the Sunset Empire and the Winter Empire, saw this as a perfect opportunity for extortion.

[So they joined in, stating that Chixin had borrowed money from the Peacock Empire, and that it was time to repay it.]

[The Red Heart Society's move to overthrow the Federation has had an extremely serious psychological impact on the people of the Peacock Empire. Therefore, the Red Heart Society must compensate the Peacock Empire for twenty-five types of expenses, including compensation for psychological damages and self-inflicted losses.]

[Even the Peacock Emperor stated that the Red Heart Society's Highland Province had been part of the Peacock Empire since ancient times.]

The Peacock Empire is giving the Red Heart Society some time; the Red Heart Society must withdraw all defensive forces from the Highland Province.

The glory of the peacock will surely illuminate the entire plateau!

[While uttering such shameless words, the Peacock Empire officially released a research report: "An Experimental Report on the Peacock Empire's Soldiers' Ability to Fight Ten Red Heart Society Soldiers."]

No one knows how this report about the Mauryan Empire came about.

Faced with a joint attack from three empires, you only replied with one sentence.

【If it's war, then let's fight!】

The Red Heart Society will not recognize any unequal treaties!

The Red Heart Society's firm stance has moved the world.

In July of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, just as the Allied Forces were preparing to declare war on the Red Heart Society under some pretext of suspicion, an unexpected event occurred.

The Red Heart Society's research department has developed a super weapon capable of altering the course of human history.

[In the same month, the super weapon test was successfully completed. The Takhar Desert, a forbidden zone for humans spanning millions of kilometers, underwent a dramatic change in its terrain under the attack of the super weapon.]

Vast areas of desert were destroyed by the destructive power of super military weapons.

[And a super basin carved out of the Takhar Desert by the super military has yielded unprecedented resource veins.]

However, right now, none of the countries are focusing on these resources.

Isn't this super military weapon developed by the Red Heart Society a bit too overpowered?

[Leaving aside other factors, the sheer power of their super military weaponry alone propelled the Red Heart Society to become one of the world's top superpowers.]

[With the thunderous roar of the super military weapon, the alliance between the Sunset Empire, the Winter Empire, and the Peacock Empire crumbled on its own.]

Although the Red Heart Society proved to them with facts that it indeed possessed threatening military equipment, this practically handed over leverage to the Allied forces.

Furthermore, this threatening military weapon possesses the overwhelming power to threaten all countries in the world.

[Once this is launched, millions of kilometers of land will be fatally affected.]

[It's no exaggeration to say that if such a super military weapon were deployed, the Sunset Empire would probably be wiped out.]

When the level of threat severely exceeds acceptable limits, even exceeding the imagination of other countries, this reason and slogan become a joke.

They doubted that true loyalty existed, but that was merely doubt; they didn't hope that true loyalty would actually exist.

The forbidden military equipment that exists in the Federation is all from long-established companies.

[They could intercept it based solely on the launch channels of the Federation's forbidden military weapons.]

That's why they chose this pretext to send troops.

[If the Red Heart Society truly possesses lethal and threatening military weaponry, then what's the point of fighting?]

What are some good places to fight?

Are you deliberately courting death?

This incident also sends a message to the world: when a rogue state suspects you of having a threatening military weapon, you'd better actually have one.

In August of the 129th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Lin Xue convened a world press conference.

At the meeting, Lin Xue emphasized that Chi Xin would never forget any friend, just as Chi Xin would never forget any enemy who dared to extort or rob.

The Red Heart Society's super military equipment is the first gift prepared for these jackals and hyenas.

This blatant threat and intimidation immediately prompted the Sunset Empire to lodge a protest.

At the World Federation Conference, the Loyal Envoy, who had just sat down on behalf of the Federation, was immediately questioned by the Sunset Empire.

Is the Red Heart Society trying to spread a threat theory around the world?

As a major power, the Chixin Society should shoulder the responsibility of protecting world peace!

World stability and peace require restraint and mutual understanding among major powers.

Therefore, he proposed signing a treaty refusing the use of superweapons.

This proposal immediately garnered support from various countries.

Even the White Eagle Empire doesn't want the Red Heart Society to be able to use super military weapons at will.

After all, this power is terrifying.

[Therefore, in front of the envoy of loyalty, all the nations cast their votes in favor within ten seconds.]

[The representative of the United States, as the host of the World Conference, immediately announced that more than two-thirds of the national representatives present agreed that this agreement shall take effect from this day forward!]

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the world conference.

As the applause subsided, the loyal messenger rose unhurriedly.

Are you all done celebrating?

[A contract that I, Chixinhui, never signed is just a piece of waste paper!]

Do you all intend to use this worthless piece of paper to bind my Red Heart Society?

After saying this, the Messenger of Loyalty stepped forward, bypassing the representative of the United States, and took the megaphone from his hand.

Everyone!

Have you forgotten who is stronger and who is weaker now?

Who has ever heard of the strong needing to care about the rules and agreements created by the weak?

Even if the weak unite, they will ultimately remain just the weak!

【If you really want to forbid us from using super military weapons, then send your troops to the border, and we'll have a real fight!】

It's normal for you to threaten us with forbidden military weapons.

"Now that we've developed a super military weapon, are we required to comply with your agreement?"

There's no such logic in this world!

A bunch of raucous barkers, do you really think I, with my sincere heart, am afraid of you?

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the representatives from the surrounding countries turned red.

【presumptuous!】

A massive wave of oppressive aura pressed down on the Crimson Heart Envoy, the terrifying force causing his bones to tremble slightly.

However, the Messenger of the Red Heart remained calm in the face of such a powerful aura.

If you don't like me, you can kill me!

I'm standing right here today!

[Who among you dares to lay a hand on me?]

I can guarantee that I will absolutely not resist!

After saying this, the Messenger of Loyalty paused.

The next moment, he continued speaking calmly.

This world is truly a giant makeshift operation.

Even at a meeting of this level, everyone's performance remained exactly the same.

【It's all the same old garbage!】

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, all eyes on the speaker.
