Chapter 139 If nothing unexpected happens, the Peacock Empire should also have super military equipment (5k)

【finally!】

They've been waiting for us!

Anyone with a modicum of strategic vision knows that for the past few months, all countries in the world have been caught in an awkward situation where they are being held hostage by the Red Heart Society's use of stealth super-weapons.

Unfortunately, there's no way to develop new technologies to counter superweapons at this stage of development in any country.

Even the United States, with its unparalleled technological prowess, was unable to develop it.

Even after reports linking the explosion of the Red Heart Society's super-weapon reached the United States military, the immediate reaction of United States special weapons researchers was that it was fake news!

[This is so fake!]

[The United States spent decades neutralizing the forbidden power from the related technologies of forbidden weapons, thus developing special weapons with the same power.]

[Just as the United States was making some progress, the Red Heart Society, a civilian organization that had just overthrown the Union, actually developed a super weapon?]

Look at this power, this explosive effect, this energy generated—this is hardly just some super military weapon!

[Clearly a special upgraded version of military weaponry!]

In other words, if the Red Heart Society truly created a super weapon, it means their technological level is at least thirty to fifty years ahead of the United States!

Such a terrifying gap in technological advancement is completely illogical!

Now, the Mauryan Empire also claims to have developed a super military weapon.

From the perspective of the United States' leadership, this wasn't a difference in technological level, but rather that the Red Heart Society had somehow acquired power they had never possessed.

This unknown channel most likely originates from the abyss!

[Aside from the help from the Abyss, they simply couldn't fathom how the Red Heart Society, a civilian organization, could possess armor that amplifies the entire body and terrifyingly explosive super military weaponry.]

In a sense, the Red Heart Society must have received help from otherworldly beings!

[The United States even boldly speculated that the Red Heart Society had captured a group of technologically advanced otherworldly beings in the Abyss, and then extracted this technological marvel far surpassing that of their contemporaries from them through torture or other forms of coercion and enticement.]

【right! 】

That's the only reason!

Otherwise, how could the Red Heart Society's technology have soared to such a level in just a few years?

[That damned Red Heart Society! They claim to stand up for the underprivileged, but look at what they've actually done!]

【rogue!】

[Bully!]

【bandit!】

Of course, if they had the chance, they would do things even more brutal than the Red Heart Society.

It now appears that the Mauryan Empire has also gleaned this advanced technology from the abyss.

[Thus, amidst the lively discussions among journalists and high-ranking officials from various countries, the spokesperson for the Mauryan Empire began to give a brief overview of the super weapon their nation had developed.]

The various parameter levels, the unexpected events that occurred during the research process, and even the efforts and sweat expended by the Peacock Empire's R&D department to overcome the bottlenecks in developing super military weapons were all recounted in detail by the spokesperson for the Peacock Empire.

When this news reached the Red Heart Society, Lin Xue and Deng Qi remarked that the spokesperson for the Peacock Empire had quite a talent for fabricating stories.

[With such talent, it's a shame she's not writing novels.]

They didn't believe a single word of what the Mauryan Empire said!

If the Peacock Empire had truly developed super military weaponry by this point in time, how could it have been destroyed by the Abyss Demon Tide in just two or three years?

[The speed of its demise was unparalleled among the world's major powers!]

Therefore, this is absolutely nonsense!

The Peacock Empire's outrageous actions around the world are numerous, sometimes making one wonder what they're thinking.

[They dare to make wild claims and wave grandiose banners when it comes to matters of national importance.]

[Most importantly, the Mauryan Empire often deceived its enemies, but it itself believed them first.]

In February of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society methodically constructed a super military launch platform in the Plateau Province, while openly broadcasting the status of the two launch platforms to the world.

In the same month, the Mauryan Empire's border troops gathered and advanced steadily towards the Plateau Province.

This behavior suggests a high degree of confidence, as if they are completely unconcerned about the threat posed by the Red Heart Society's super military might.

Faced with a confrontation between two superpowers possessing overwhelming military might, the White Eagle Emperor asked you in the dead of night, "Do you truly wish to wage a world-ending war against the Peacock Empire?"

[Given the explosive power of such super-military weapons, if a conflict were to break out, it would absolutely be the end of the world.]

You smiled wryly at this.

[You're the emperor of the White Eagle Empire, after all. Are you really going to be fooled by the idiotic pronouncements of the Peacock Empire?]

You don't really think the Peacock Empire, with its drastically different technological level, has suddenly mastered super military weaponry, do you?

After a moment of silence, the White Eagle Emperor sighed softly.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't want to believe it.

After all, the technological level of my White Eagle Empire is almost an entire era ahead of the Peacock Empire.

The various military systems of the Mauryan Empire were unsystematic, pieced together haphazardly, and utterly incapable of forming an effective, unified, and compact fighting force on the actual battlefield.

[But there's nothing we can do. With your 'Red Heart Society' setting a precedent, who dares not believe the Peacock Empire's public announcement of this matter?]

[While it's absurd that the Peacock Empire could develop a super weapon, isn't it equally absurd that your Red Heart Society, a makeshift organization that just overthrew the Federation, could develop a revolutionary super weapon?]

If the Peacock Empire's development of a super military weapon is an inconceivable feat, then your Red Heart Society is practically dancing on the brink of world collapse.

【world!】

This is insane!

[It was so crazy that he couldn't even imagine how this perfectly good technology competition had developed into this.]

Listening to the White Eagle Emperor's helplessness, you also fell silent.

The reason why countries around the world believed in the Mauryan Empire was mainly due to the Red Heart Society.

This is truly unexpected.

[In March of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society's launch pad in the Plateau Province was assembled, and the super military weapon officially entered the preparation and deployment phase.]

[In the same month, the Mauryan Empire released footage related to the explosion of a super weapon.]

[In the scene, in the Yanlun Desert outside the Mauryan Empire, an unparalleled explosion begins to erupt.]

This overwhelming power is exactly the same as the super military weapon announced by the Red Heart Society.

[However, the Red Heart Society only releases the complete process of the super military weapon, from loading to launching and then detonating.]

[The Peacock Empire only released the final explosion effect.]

The extent of the discrepancy is likely only understood by those in the Chixin Society who know the truth.

Seeing this, other countries truly believed that the Mauryan Empire possessed a super military force comparable to the Red Heart Society.

[In a short time, major powers around the world, including the Sunset Empire, the Winter Empire, and the United States, sent envoys with large sums of money to the Peacock Empire.]

They waved their cash and resources, hoping to use readily available market equivalents to bring home that coveted advanced military technology.

Only in this way can we counter the Red Heart Society, which will continue its rogue behavior to the very end, in the future world situation.

Of these, only the White Eagle Empire, upon your reminder, did not send an envoy.

The Mauryan Empire accepted all the money offered by its surrounding countries without question.

However, when discussing the technology related to super military weapons, the Peacock Empire hesitated and only tried to stall for time.

Despite some doubts among the envoys, they reasoned that no one would risk their country's security, and thus began to wonder if the Mauryan Empire wanted more.

Thus, intense, high-level military negotiations began in the Mauryan Empire.

This time, even though the stench of the Mauryan Empire was overwhelming, not a single envoy from any of the other countries mentioned leaving.

If you're out and about and the sight of excrement and urine is so offensive, you might as well stay home!

If many foods are toxic, then eat food from your own country.

In short, we must overcome any difficulties and, even if it means pushing our luck, reclaim this advanced military technology.

In April of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society issued an ultimatum to the Peacock Empire and the Winter Empire.

Regardless of how other countries act as peacemakers, the Red Heart Society's stance remains unchanged.

[Regardless of how the Mauryan Empire proclaims its fearlessness in the face of any challenge, the Super Military Council will protect the great Mauryan Empire, and the Red Heart Society will remain calm and composed, making a world-ending war seem quite possible.]

At this point, the Winter Empire began to panic.

[Because according to information from their country's unique intelligence agency, they found a large quantity of fragments of high-purity super-powerful bombs within the experimental area of ​​the Peacock Empire's super-weapon explosion.]

Although they didn't know if the super weaponry was assembled from super-powered bombs, this incident dealt a heavy blow to the Winter Empire. [Is the Peacock Empire deceiving the whole world?]

The instant this thought arose, the Winter Emperor felt a chill run through him.

Is there really such a fool in this world?

But having come this far, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue the charade.

Just as the Peacock Empire fooled the whole world, he now prays that the Red Heart Society will also be fooled.

[In the same month, with the cooperation of millions of Red Heart soldiers, the Red Heart Battle Group expanded the gathering area of ​​the Abyss Battlefield by 500 kilometers.]

All the Abyss Lords and Abyss races along the way were annihilated by the overwhelming power of the Red Heart Warband and its millions of Red Heart soldiers.

The boundless human potential began to emerge at this time.

In May of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society began constructing fortified cities in newly opened areas and erecting towering fortifications at key nodes in various abyssal mountain ranges.

The Red Heart Society's defenses are extremely high, far exceeding those of any other fortress or pass in the world.

Even the master architects within the Red Heart Society had strong objections to this matter.

They didn't understand that the Red Heart Fortress's defensive capabilities far surpassed all the defenses constructed by the Federation.

Why increase the intensity further on this basis?

Is it necessary to further strengthen the Crimson Heart Fortress, which even a level 90 high-ranking Abyss Lord cannot shake?

[Besides consuming manpower, material resources, and financial resources, what other purpose does continued reinforcement serve?]

Of course, they could see that this was to counter super abyss lords of level 95 and above.

However, the number of Super Abyss Lords is extremely small; according to Federation records, only a little over a hundred have been seen in a century.

On average, there is only one Super Abyss Lord per year.

[Given the Redheart Legion's formidable strength, spending such funds on this one Super Abyss Lord is simply not worthwhile!]

But their protests, under the combined will of you, Lin Xue, and Deng Qi, didn't even make a ripple.

They are unaware of the despair that lies ahead, but the three of you are very aware of it.

[If current technology weren't insufficient for reinforcement, you could build a defensive line that even a level 99 super-powerful Abyss Lord couldn't destroy.]

[After all, in the future, Abyss Lords below level 90 will be nothing more than cannon fodder, utterly unworthy of being called Lords.]

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much fiscal revenue it represents, we must inscribe it with a high-strength defense and top-level formation support at all costs.

In short, don't worry about money or resources; we'll handle everything!

[Under your supreme command, the era of large-scale construction in the Abyss Battlefield has entered its second phase of full-scale implementation.]

In August of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, negotiations between the other nations and the Mauryan Empire entered their final stage. Faced with an overwhelming influx of resources and funds, the Mauryan Empire's representatives finally relented.

Just as the Peacock Empire was basking in its glory, believing their decision to be brilliant and ingenious, a private message from Lin Xue broke through all the Peacock Emperor's firewalls and barriers, precisely reaching his private communications.

We, the Red Hearts, know that the Peacock Empire lacks super military weaponry.

Now, hand over to us the resources you've swindled from countries around the world during this time, along with all the reserves in your national treasury.

Otherwise, the day after tomorrow will be the day when super military weapons descend upon your Peacock Empire!

[Accompanying this event was the launch schedule for a super military weapon issued by the Red Heart Society headquarters.]

This is a blatant threat!

[If they hadn't known that the Mauryan Empire was swindling money and resources from countries around the world and deceiving various super-organizations and major powers, the Red Heart Society probably would have already taken action against the Mauryan Empire.]

The reason we haven't taken action yet is that we're waiting for the Mauryan Empire to be well-fed and clothed.

After all, there's a difference between extorting one country and extorting all the countries in the world.

Chi Xin's ideal is to help all the exploited underprivileged people in the world stand up!

Therefore, the future red ideology must expand throughout the world.

[You're going to let every country in the world experience the grandeur of the Kingdom of Farah from the previous timeline.]

Faced with a massive invasion from the abyss, and such an overwhelming defeat, only by uniting the strength of everyone in the world can we go further in the future.

The fate of all humanity is interconnected!

A community that shares weal and woe needs to be built!

But you know very well that the rulers of all countries in the world will not stand idly by and watch their power be violated or their vested interests be taken away.

Therefore, they will inevitably rebel.

Therefore, no one with a pure heart possesses the power to crush everything, achieving their ultimate goal through absolute force and armed means.

In this situation, having the peculiar Mauryan Empire act as a proxy might be a good choice.

[However, the Peacock Empire, upon receiving this message, interpreted it as a threat and intimidation from the Red Heart Society.]

Suddenly, the Peacock Emperor changed his communication IP address and launched a barrage of disgusting attacks against Lin Xue.

Lin Xue's silence convinced the Peacock Emperor that his guess was absolutely correct.

The following day, the Red Heart Society's super military weapon, located in the Plateau Province, officially entered the launch countdown after completion of assembly and retrieval.

This news reached the ears of high-ranking officials around the world in the shortest possible time.

[Such momentous news would urgently summon high-ranking officials to handle this major event concerning the lives of everyone in the world, even if they were sleeping, resting, or in seclusion.]

Upon receiving this news, the Peacock Emperor was absolutely furious.

【what? 】

[Direct launch?]

[This is a matter of utmost importance concerning the fate of all humanity, a super event that could potentially restart human civilization if things go wrong, and the Red Heart Society came to a decision in just one day?]

[Aren't you worried? Does the Peacock Empire also have super military weapons?]

Aren't you really worried that the Super Military Society will be blown up near the Red Heart Society's location?

Why would the Red Heart Society believe that the Peacock Empire is spreading rumors?

Putting himself in the emperor's shoes, without concrete confirmation, he couldn't be sure an emperor would gamble with the future of his country!

【This...】

For a moment, the Peacock Emperor was completely panicked.

At this moment, the Prime Minister of the Peacock Empire stated that this was absolutely the Red Heart Society's final intimidation tactic, and they wanted to gauge the true situation through the Peacock Empire's reaction.

【His Majesty! 】

Don't be afraid!

[According to our plan, we'll pretend to play along and act out a scene!]

I simply don't believe the other side isn't afraid of a super military weapon exploding in their territory.

[It is precisely because the Red Heart Society researched and developed the super military weapon that the Red Heart Society should be even more aware of its power.]

The Peacock Emperor was persuaded.

The Peacock Empire has responded forcefully to the Red Heart Society's deployment of a super military force.

The great Peacock Empire fears no external threat!

Throughout history, all forces that have threatened the Peacock Empire have either fled or been annihilated!

The Peacock Empire hopes that the Crimson Heart Society can effectively control its emotions and prevent emotional fluctuations from triggering a world-ending war.

The Peacock Empire, considering the interests of all humanity, does not wish for such a war to occur!

However, if the Red Heart Society continues to press forward, the Peacock Empire is not hesitant to use its military might to teach them a lesson.

The Mauryan Empire's strong response has drawn attention from countries around the world.

Even the White Eagle Emperor, who believed in the Red Heart Society, began to waver once again.

After all, the Mauryan Empire has remained as resolute as ever.

Without absolute means of survival, who would dare to do such a thing?

[Has the other person lost their mind?]

Faced with this situation, Chixin only replied with two sentences.

Don't make a mistake for yourself!

Don't say you weren't warned!
