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

Chapter 42 This is just self-rescue

[That night, you were held accountable by the Chapter Administration.]

[According to the federal "Transcendent Awakening Law," anyone who awakens to become a professional must pay awakening fees to the federal treasury.]

【This is national policy! 】

[You are awakening the residents of Ningcheng for free. If someone reports you to the military court, you will definitely be investigated!]

You didn't say much, but simply sent the long-prepared report on the development of the Ningcheng Demon Cave and the recent casualties.

[The Ningcheng Demon Cave is still expanding to the surrounding areas! ]

[The medium-sized Demon Cave is not the end of the Ningcheng Demon Cave's development!]

[As a newly promoted Class C regiment, the Red Heart Regiment is absolutely incapable of defending Ningcheng.]

[But the Chapter Administration has issued an order, and you are willing to share the Federation's worries and sacrifice your life for it.]

[Therefore, even if it means a fight to the death, they are unwilling to evacuate the group's defense point.]

[Most importantly, the Chapter Administration had previously issued a document urging the Red Heart Chapter to do its utmost to resist the demonic tide, while also granting them the authority to act according to circumstances.]

[Awaken Ningcheng residents for free, allowing them to join the front lines and help resist the demonic tide!]

【this!】

[This is the self-rescue strategy you came up with after many days of discussion with the Red Heart Group's management.]

If the residents of Ningcheng hadn't joined the war and risked their lives fighting outside, Ningcheng's defenses would have collapsed long ago.

[With this statement, there is no need for the Chapter Administration to continue its accountability.]

The main point is that you can provide legitimate evidence to support your actions during this period.

[First of all, you are not messing around on your own; you are completely following the orders issued by the Chapter Administration.]

[Secondly, you are here to defend Ningcheng, a crucial pass, and protect Shangdu, the Federation's granary, in the rear.]

[Finally, and most importantly, your Red Heart Regiment has indeed succeeded.]

[Amidst the surging demonic tide triggered by a medium-sized demonic cave, you held the defenses of Ningcheng, preventing any abyssal monsters from breaking through the defense line.]

【This is the most important point! 】

[In the matter of war, no matter what great deeds you did during the war, as long as you win in the end, you are innocent.]

[On the contrary, even if you fulfill your duties conscientiously, at the last moment of failure, you see that you are powerless to turn the tide and run away with your men.]

【Then you are a sinner! 】

[If you fail in the war and don't sacrifice your life for your country, that would be a sin!]

[He will definitely be tried by a federal military court! ]

[But now that you've won, you'll naturally put everything aside.]

[As long as you achieve victory and the truth is on your side, the Administration will not interfere too much.]

[For this reason, the Chapter Administration did not pursue further charges. Instead, they awarded you 5,000 merit points for this battle.]

[Speaking of which, how could the Administration Bureau overseeing the war group not know about the little tricks you've been doing in Ningcheng?]

[It’s just that they don’t want to care, and there’s no need to care.]

[Just tens of thousands of newly awakened low-level professionals, what's the big deal?]

[As long as we can complete the defense mission assigned by the Administration, it doesn't matter if there are tens of thousands of awakened people, even hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands.]

If this matter hadn't been exposed and attracted the attention of the higher-ups, they wouldn't have bothered to deal with such a trivial matter. Compared to other warbands who frequently take empty salaries, exploit soldiers' blood, and even buy and sell high-level inscribed equipment at low prices, what you're doing is simply child's play!

[As for the idea that these tens of thousands of extra professionals will cause social unrest? ]

Listen to those politicians' nonsense!

If these low-ranking, low-level professionals dared to cause unrest, even a high-level professional team wouldn't need to take action.

[In short, you offered the fruits of victory in exchange. Seeing your righteous words and solid evidence, the Administration naturally turned a blind eye.]

[After all, at their level, who hasn't violated federal laws?]

Compared to the vicious incidents of slaughtering entire clans and smuggling strategic materials, this is a minor issue!

[After all, the Administration is the Chapter's superior organization. As long as it's not a major betrayal of the Federation, under normal circumstances the Administration will stand on the Chapter's side and speak for it.]

[Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Administration will run away faster than anyone else, and the morale of the regiments under their command will be almost gone.]

[If the Administration needs help in the future, which chapter will lend a hand?]

[However, the Administration would like to remind you that this matter ends here and should not be continued.]

[Otherwise, if the matter becomes serious, the management bureau will be unable to explain itself to anyone, whether above or below.]

[You agreed with this and promised that you would not do it again.]

[Then you'll instruct Lin Xue to change the Red Heart Society's free awakening ceremony from open to covert, to be more restrained and not to hold it openly anymore.]

Lin Xue took your concerns into consideration, and also considered the impact on the War Group Administration, and began adjusting the Red Heart Society's strategies.

[Previously, members of the Red Heart Society were xenophobic due to certain ideologies and the influence of shared team values ​​like the hand-raising ceremony.]

[Now, Lin Xue is going to fully stimulate this xenophobia!]

She wanted to plant the idea within the Red Heart Society, in the minds of all Red Heart Society members, that those who are not members of our Society must have different hearts!

[Only in this way can the Red Heart Society continue to develop steadily.]

[At the same time, she will also use all means to uncover spies from other organizations within the Red Heart Society to ensure the continued implementation of the Awakening Plan.]

[On the other side, you watched as the five thousand merit points arrived and grinned.]

[As the leader of the Red Heart Regiment, you can log in to the Management Bureau's Logistics section through the Smart Network and exchange your Merits for what the Red Heart Regiment needs.]

[Five thousand merits, this is no small number! ]

[In the logistics section of the Administration, there are many things that cannot be bought with money outside.]

[For example, A-level skill cards, advanced battle formations, perfect-level inscriptions, and various high-level props so precious that they only exist in rumors.]

[Especially, you can see that there is a talent upgrade star stone item on the homepage of the Administration's Logistics Department.]

[No need for introduction, just looking at the name you will know the true purpose of this prop. ]

[Perhaps in the future, you can use this item to upgrade your own Black Iron-level talent.]

In October of the 131st year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Federation and the White Eagle Empire suffered successive defeats in the war along the northern border. With the demise of the Federation's Second and Third Regiments, the war briefly came to an end.

[The Federation General Office decided to sign the infamous "Northern Treaty" with representatives of the White Eagle Empire.]

From now on, the Federation's northern trade checkpoints will be controlled by the White Eagle Empire. The Federation will also be required to pay the White Eagle Empire a large amount of extraordinary resources, and the Federation's Ninth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Regiments will be handed over to the White Eagle Empire for trial.

[As soon as this news came out, federal public opinion exploded.]
