Chapter 90: Millions of Loyalists March North! (5k)

The leaders of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments remained silent for a moment before asking the Seventeenth Regiment's leader for his opinion.

The leader of the Seventeenth Regiment didn't directly answer the question, but instead asked the other party, "They were only released due to the desperate protection of the Red Heart Society, the riot of federal public opinion, and the massacre of Qingdong Province by the Red Heart Army."

[What do you think has been labeled as such by the Federation's top brass?]

[When this matter is over, not to mention the fate of the Red Heart Society, do you think our fate will be good? ]

[The Federation's first target may be the Red Heart Society, but when the Red Heart Society falls, we will definitely be liquidated!]

【Therefore, the Chixin Society must never fall! 】

[This is not only about saving the Red Heart Society, but also about saving ourselves.]

[Then, the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment began to explain his point of view.]

[Everyone can see the influence of the Red Heart Society on the entire federation in this matter.]

[The Red Heart Society now has nearly 60 million members.]

[Three hundred thousand Red Heart Army, this is not the limit of the Red Heart Society! ]

[The overall combat capability of the Red Heart Regiment has now reached the level of a numbered regiment.]

[The only thing the Chixin Society lacks now is high-end combat power.]

[As long as we gather high-end combat power, then under the coordinated power of the battle formation, even if the situation reaches the worst point in the future, we may not be able to confront the Federation!]

Although many of our brothers from the three regiments died in the battles on the front lines, the remaining brothers, if they join the Red Heart Society together, will be able to fill the gap in the Red Heart Society's high-end combat power.

[By then, with the terrifying number of members of the Red Heart Society, and with our joining, the Federation might not dare to take action against us!]

[Across from them, the leaders of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments fell silent again.]

They didn't think the Seventeenth Regiment's leader's words were bold, nor did they think their actions were a betrayal.

Anyone who fights desperately on the battlefield, only to be thrown into prison and have their supernatural powers sealed, or even tortured in prison, will experience a drastic change in their mentality.

[What they were considering was whether the Red Heart Society was really as good as the Seventeenth Regiment Leader said.]

But after a brief moment of reflection, they all understood that the only path left for them was the Red Heart Society.

【Only by uniting! 】

[We can then pose a direct threat to the Federal Headquarters in the future, preventing them from taking action against us at will.]

[Otherwise, you will end up being divided and eaten by others! ]

They don't want to die!

They want to live!

[Those politicians at the Federation Office backstabbed them, and the military brass abandoned them.]

[So when they walked out of the Central Prison, the suppressed anger in their hearts couldn't help but make them want to make changes!]

[Thus, after the top leaders of the three numbered regiments reached a consensus, they began to act in secret.]

[They are currently in the center of the Federation, and the regiment is not fully staffed, and they are also short of large military weapons and various equipment and weapons.]

Therefore, they need to be extremely cautious in this move.

In June of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, after the Ninth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Regiments had obtained sufficient equipment, weapons, and various supplies from the military headquarters, they used large-scale teleportation magic that night to directly reach the eastern defense zone of the Abyss Battlefield, where the Red Heart Society was located.

[You are very welcome to the arrival of these three numbered regiments.]

[But you also know that there must not be multiple voices in an army.]

Otherwise, if the army loses control on the battlefield, it will inevitably lead to a total collapse disaster.

So, you didn't directly intervene in the management of the three regiments, but instead stationed them on the front lines of the Abyssal Battlefield. After briefly assigning them tasks, a grand, heartfelt bonfire party began to unfold on the front lines of the Abyssal Battlefield.

[During the day, members of the three regiments went to various defense lines to defend.]

[At night, the members of the regiment who were relieved would join in this passionate, exciting, and pure personality worship party.]

[No matter what your identity or background, you are essentially a human being.]

Humans are social animals.

【As long as one is human, they will be directly affected by the surrounding atmosphere.】

[Especially with the Seventeenth Regiment members taking the lead in joining, members of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments also joined in.]

Not long after, members of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments discovered that members of the Seventeenth Regiment were sharing their cultivation experiences at the party, and were even commenting on the legendary cultivation techniques that were only practiced by children from aristocratic families.

[Obviously, all members of the Seventeenth Regiment have mastered the legendary technique.]

[Members of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments were also very enthusiastic about this and asked them where they got the technique.]

[Could it be that the leader of the Seventeenth Regiment taught them this after his imprisonment?]

【But the results obtained surprised everyone. 】

[As long as you apply to join the Red Heart Society, greet people with a hand raise, and shout "Red Heart, Victory" during large ceremonies or holidays, and complete a number of simple Red Heart tasks, you can redeem a technique to practice.]

[The cost of acquiring the technique was so low that it was hard for these members of the group to believe.]

【Brave people enjoy life first. 】

[Soon, someone joined the Red Heart Society and received the cultivation method.]

[Our leader has already said that their entire regiment has joined the Red Heart Society.]

[If that's the case, then why can't they join the Red Heart Society as individuals and become members of the Red Heart Society?]

[After all, this is a legendary technique, one that can only be practiced by those of noble family bloodline!]

[Could it be that the leader himself doesn't teach them, and doesn't allow the Red Heart Society to teach them?]

[After practicing, they suddenly felt that the world was completely different.]

[Thus, they were absolutely certain that this was the true cultivation method.]

[After the top brass of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments learned of this, they simply looked at each other in bewilderment.]

If this is a trick the Red Heart Society uses to win over people, then they might overthink it, and even think the Red Heart Society wants to transfer their members away.

However, through their investigation, they discovered that the Red Heart Regiment, the Guard Regiment, and even all members of the Red Heart Army were practicing the technique.

[It is obvious that the Red Heart Society has already started doing this.]

This is perhaps the fundamental reason why the combat power of the 300,000 Red Heart Army far surpasses that of the Federation's regular army. As practitioners, they are well aware of the benefits that martial arts can bring to professionals.

[Most importantly, the Chixin Society teaches martial arts techniques to enhance everyone's combat power.]

[The Seventeenth Regiment has all practiced, what are they afraid of?]

[And so, with the tacit approval of the regiment's top brass, all the lower-ranking soldiers of the 9th and 12th regiments joined the Red Heart Society as private individuals. Every day, when they met, ate, drank tea, or even chatted on defense, they would greet each other with a raised hand.]

The Red Heart Society's ideology and system are slowly influencing everyone at a speed that is barely noticeable.

[At first, everyone thought the Red Heart Society's hand-raising salute was interesting.]

But gradually, when the hand-raising gesture becomes a habit, people will think it is a normal greeting etiquette.

Especially in the Eastern Defense Zone, where everyone is devoted to the cause, the thoughts of the numbered regiment members are gradually changing.

They thought the Chixin Society's ideology was excellent, considering the lower-class professionals and everyone.

【yes! 】

If they had encountered the Red Heart Society ten years ago, their professional level would probably be higher now, right?

[The food and benefits of the Red Heart Regiment are really good! ]

[The benefits are even better than those of the First Federation Regiment! ]

[During the Red Heart Day festival, the Red Heart Association even gave everyone corresponding levels of body-hardening potions and magic potions to drink.]

[How can there be such a perfect organization in this world? ]

【Why haven’t I heard of this before? 】

[In July of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Red Heart Army returned to the Abyss Battlefield, and everything in the Federation began to get back on track.]

If the southern border defenses hadn't collapsed, and the Winter Empire was currently attempting to break through the southern border checkpoints, the Federation would probably still be in a peaceful and prosperous era!

[In the same month, the Federal Military Department ordered the complete withdrawal of all troops from the Abyss Battlefield.]

The Federation has abandoned its years of hard work in the Abyssal Battlefield and will deploy all its troops to counter the attacks of the Winter Empire and the White Eagle Empire.

[Originally, you had prepared a reason to refuse the military's transfer order, but the military seemed to have forgotten about the Red Heart Society and no transfer order came.]

The military also seemed to have selectively forgotten about the Ninth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Regiments' arrival at the Red Heart Society's headquarters.

[However, all the top leaders of the Red Heart Society know that this kind of calm is often a sign of the coming storm.]

[So, you took advantage of the White Eagle Empire's prolonged failure to capture the Federation's northern border, and the resulting economic turmoil within the empire, and once again reached out and reaped the benefits.]

[Nowadays, it's a time of war. I don't know when the White Eagle Empire will stop foreign capital from entering.]

So, while there's still room for harvest, let's make a killing.

[In August of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, with the Federation's full withdrawal from the Abyss battlefield, pressure on the eastern defense zone increased significantly.]

[However, with the full integration of the three numbered regiments, the power of the Red Heart regiment has reached an unprecedented height.]

Thanks to the combined efforts of all members of the Red Heart Society, the three Abyss Lords were defeated, temporarily repelling the increasingly violent demonic tide. Afterwards, you gave an impassioned speech on this matter.

Because of the existence of the 9th, 12th, and 17th Legions, you are speaking from the perspective of the legions being betrayed, and from the perspective of resisting injustice and the tyranny of the Federation.

[Those who can become members of a numbered regiment must at least be from the middle class.]

[Faced with members of different backgrounds, situations, and experiences, you need to use their unique speaking style to psychologically conquer them!]

[The current federation has long been controlled by bizarre and corrupt politicians! ]

【To make the Federation great again! 】

[To make our glory bloom again in the Federation! ]

We should unite as one and move forward courageously.

【Let all enemies standing before us tremble! 】

[When the Red Heart Society shines brightly in the world, all the ghosts floating around the Federation will tremble in fear!]

[The glory of the Federation belongs to the sincere heart!]

【And the glory of the heart belongs to everyone! 】

【The future is the pure heart! 】

【The future is victory! 】

【Red——Heart——】

[Ten thousand! Wins——]

[The moment you finished speaking, all the members of the Red Heart Society around you raised their right hands and cheered in response.]

The fervent and boiling pure faith at the scene instantly ignited the passion within the members of the group.

They gazed at you with burning eyes, imitating the salute gestures of the surrounding Red Heart Society core members, and chanted "Victory to the Red Heart."

[Under these sincere cries of victory, their hearts seemed to be purified!]

When everyone around you shares the same ideals and goals, and the organization can provide a bright future for everyone, the cohesiveness that emerges from this organization will shock the world.

In the rear, the leaders of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments watched their subordinates shouting excitedly, as if witnessing the excitement of their leaders, and felt a slight chill.

They always feel that the situation is developing in a direction beyond their control.

But seeing the captain of the Seventeenth Regiment clapping his hands in agreement, they wondered if they were overthinking it.

[In September of the 132nd year of the Supernormal Calendar, at your command, the Red Heart Army began a large-scale expansion.]

[With the Red Heart Society as a solid foundation, a large number of people who are given special care by the Red Heart Society have been selected and joined the Red Heart Army.]

[You selected a large number of soldiers with meritorious service from the former Red Heart Army, and promoted them in the process of training new recruits.]

[This rapid promotion speed has aroused the envy of the members of the Ninth and Seventeenth Regiments.]

[Getting promoted to a higher level in a few months, who wouldn't envy this kind of promotion speed? ]

【Oh, the members of the Red Heart Group are not envious. 】

[Because the benefits and treatment of the members of the Red Heart Group are the best and most outstanding in the entire Red Heart Society.]

[With such treatment, they all wanted to participate in the selection of members of the Red Heart Battle Group.]

In October of the 132nd year of the Transcendental Calendar, the Winter Empire broke through the last major checkpoint in the southern border of the Federation. A half-million-strong army was stationed there, awaiting the good news that the White Eagle Empire had broken through the northern border defenses.

According to the two countries' military departments, once the Federation's northern and southern defense lines are breached, the combined forces of both sides will leave them powerless to resist.

[By then, they can demand whatever war reparations they want.]

[In the same month, a piece of news shocked the world.]

[The White Eagle Empire has withdrawn.]

[When this news came out, not only the Winter Empire was stunned, but even the Federation was stunned.]

Almost immediately upon receiving this news, the Winter Empire's military directly questioned the White Eagle Empire, using highly suggestive terms to greet the other side's ancestors.

[Soon, the White Eagle Empire responded.]

They launched a war against the Federation to distract from the economic crisis and ethnic and demographic conflicts caused by the recent collapse of the supernatural market due to the inexplicable withdrawal of large amounts of funds.

[At the beginning of the war, thanks to large-scale military orders and the consumption of various extraordinary products, the White Eagle Empire did stabilize its declining unemployment rate.]

[But as the war progressed, the White Eagle Empire's improving economy would inexplicably deteriorate after a while.]

[Behind the White Eagle Empire's economic market, it seems as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything.]

Even if the White Eagle Empire's national team were to leave the field, it would only delay the situation, but it would not be able to stop this economic giant from reaping wealth.

Therefore, the economic environment in the White Eagle Empire has become even worse in the past two months. A large number of factories and companies have closed down, and a large number of unemployed people have caused social unrest.

Even with the Demon Cave and the Abyssal Battlefield continuously producing extraordinary resources, the hole facing the White Eagle Empire is getting bigger and bigger.

[So much so that military spending has plummeted.]

【So no more fighting! 】

They need to go back and rest up.

[Faced with this outrageous explanation, the Winter Empire remained silent.]

[Could it be the Federation's doing? ]

[The White Eagle Empire's AI computing power is among the strongest in the world.]

[Under such circumstances, can the Federation still reap the White Eagle Empire?]

[This damn federation, is there something hidden inside that they don't know about? ]

How come the spy the Winter Empire had sent to the Federation's headquarters at such a high price hadn't even gotten out such important news?

【Damn! 】

[When these spies return, they must be court-martialed!]

In November of the 132nd year of the Supernatural Calendar, the Federation transferred a large number of troops from the northern border to the southern border checkpoints, and began a war of attrition with the Winter Empire.

[In December of the 132nd year of the Supernatural Calendar, the Winter Empire sent a signal for negotiation. As long as the Federation recognized the lands conquered by the Winter Empire, the Winter Empire would end the war.]

[Regarding this, the Federation simply chose to ignore it.]

If there had been pressure from the White Eagle Empire in the north, they might have actually agreed.

[But now, because of the troublemaker Winter Empire, the Federation is in such a mess.]

How could it stop like this?

【Must fight! 】

[The Federation must take back the land occupied by the Winter Empire! ]

Otherwise, the Federation's reputation and prestige will be completely destroyed.

[In February of the 133rd year of the Supernormal Calendar, thanks to your massive investment and support over the years, the Red Heart Society's Crucible Battle Formation Research Team has finally upgraded the core of the Crucible Battle Formation.]

[To suit the occasion, the research team renamed the latest version of the battle formation core to the Red Heart Battle Formation.]

[The Red Heart Battle Formation can gather the strength of 15,000 people into one, launching indiscriminate attacks on surrounding targets.]

[However, the Red Heart Battle Formation has just been released, so it still has some drawbacks.]

For example, with the rapid expansion of the number of people, the upper limit of the energy level has been exceeded, causing the power unleashed by the Red Heart Battle Formation to become somewhat rigid in terms of efficient operation and control.

[However, compared to the overall breakthrough of the Red Heart Battle Formation, this is just a minor issue.]

[In the same month, you expanded the number of escort regiments to thirty.]

[In order to more quickly strengthen the Guards, you draw soldiers who are loyal to you from the Ninth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Regiments.]

[Your actions have made the leaders of the Ninth and Twelfth Regiments feel somewhat uncomfortable.]

[But you mobilized the largest number of troops from the Seventeenth Regiment, and the captains of the Seventeenth Regiment had no objections, and they were too embarrassed to express their objections.]

[In March of the 133rd year of the Transcendent Calendar, the million-strong Red Heart Army completed their training. All equipment, weapons, and professional levels have reached the standards you set.]

[With your command, all military forces under the Red Heart Society will be mobilized.]

[Under the cover of a million loyal soldiers, they marched towards the northern defense zone, which is closest to the eastern defense zone.]

The massive deployment of the Red Heart Army on the Abyssal Battlefield instantly sent the entire Federation's leadership into a frenzy.

[In just a few months, the Red Heart Army grew to a million members.]

If we give them another year or two, wouldn't we have three million soldiers?

The Winter Empire was acutely aware of the concerns of the Federation's top brass, so they dispatched a high-ranking Imperial space mage to the Federation Center to negotiate face-to-face with the top brass.

[As long as the Federation recognizes that the southern border belongs to the Winter Empire, the Winter Empire will send an army of 200,000 soldiers and three imperial mage regiments to support the Federation.]

[All this is just to completely wipe out the Chixin Society, which is currently in a highly developed state!]

If the Red Heart Society is not eliminated now, it is uncertain who will be in charge of the Federation in the future.

[As soon as these words were spoken, all the senior members of the Federation fell into silence.]
