Banner of the Evil God

The atmosphere of impending storm did not have a great impact on the civilians of the Northwest Republic.

In this world, in most cases, war is a matter of a few people. A few knights leading hundreds of soldiers are enough to determine the ownership of a barony; a dozen knights leading three or four hundred people can influence the direction of several viscounties; hundreds of knights and four-digit soldiers are mobilized, which is enough to shake a country and attract the attention of all countries in the main plane continent.

Super wars like "The Day the Sun Goes Out" are rare in the history of the entire main plane civilization. In fact, once the total number of people on both sides of the war reaches five digits, it is enough to shake all countries and leave a strong mark in history.

The Northwest Republic is located in the border area. Except for the Rye Valley in the south leading to the Gold Coin Federation, there is no decent main road-you said the valleys that cross the barren mountains in the east? Hey! Crossing the valley is also a desert! Except for the desperate smugglers, who dares to cross the desert to do business? How can the scale of such a business be large?

Because of the geographical location, no matter what those guys who are hostile to the Northwest Republic think, they are unlikely to mobilize a large army to attack.

Even if their army can fly, please fly over the Desolate Mountains, the Great Desert, the Orc Empire, and the Gold Coin Federation first.

Blitzkrieg is fine, but such a long-distance raid, do you really think that the war gods who submit to His Majesty the Void Mask are just for show?

All acts of war will never escape the detection of the gods of war. If the enemy really foolishly flies over thousands of mountains and rivers to attack, when they fly to the place, they will most likely find that the Void Mask Church and its allies have formed a mighty army, waiting to give them a head-on blow.

Even... it is possible that they fly hard, fly through clouds, and finally fly into the mouth of a giant jellyfish with its mouth wide open.

So according to Leon and his team's estimation, the enemy is most likely to send a group of elite troops at the level of professional adventurers, led by top masters, to attack the Void City directly.

In this case, this war will most likely become a fight between a few strong men, and will not have much to do with ordinary civilians.

Or... in this war, ordinary civilians and soldiers are not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

Let them know too much, except that it will make them panic, what else is there to use?

Therefore, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided not to disclose the news to the outside world, but just hold a few risk avoidance exercises to prevent the people who have gradually become too comfortable in recent years from being paralyzed and losing their vigilance.

The real preparations for war are still carried out by the strong men representing high-end military forces. And their imaginary enemies are also strong men at this level.

The strategic department led by the evil god Reynard made a detailed deduction and estimated that the incoming enemies should have multiple legendary strong men, and it would not be surprising to have dozens of them. Maybe there will be strong men at the peak of legend or even demigod level to take action. When the time comes, they will most likely directly use means of mass destruction, regardless of whether it works or not, they will first cause a large number of casualties - this is actually what the Northwest Republic fears the most.

According to Sui Xiong's original intention, he has nothing to fear as long as he is guarding it. If the battlefield is limited to the main plane, the believers of the gods in the Pantheon will form a team, and even pull all the strong men from the entire World Ring over, and he has the confidence to defeat them all in one go. But Leon and the others do not agree with this approach. After all, the gods have their own rules. Even if Sui Xiong is strong enough to ignore these rules, he will sooner or later be deified, and sooner or later he will have to leave the main plane - at that time, I am afraid that the final account will be settled.

In order to avoid being settled by the gods together at that time, it is better not to be so arrogant now.

What they said made sense. Although Sui Xiong felt that it was meaningless to think about such a long-term thing, he was still persuaded by them and promised that unless the situation was particularly urgent, he would not take action in person. At most, he would learn from other gods and send a clone.

In this way, the long-term threat was gone, but the immediate danger was greater.

On the Northwest Republic side, the high-end military force below the gods was still quite strong. Led by Leon, who was at the peak of the legend, they could gather the combat power of about 20 legendary strongmen, including warriors, knights, and mages, and the combination was quite perfect.

But the problem was that they lacked higher-level demigods, and at the same time, their combat power was insufficient at the middle and high levels.

There was nothing that could be done about it. It had been less than 50 years since the establishment of the Void Mask Amusement Park. How many talents could be accumulated in such a short time?

If it hadn't attracted many outstanding strongmen through the two world's first martial arts competitions, the situation in the Northwest Republic would have been even worse.

Whenever thinking of this, Leon, who served as the commander of this operation, felt a little stomachache.

To be honest, he would rather the enemy jumped out and fought him with real weapons. If that happened, he was confident that he would not lose even if he faced a demigod.

But... the enemy obviously would not do what he thought.

So he had to intensify the military training while worrying.

Leonard, who was in charge of the military training, didn't take the upcoming war to heart at all. He felt that it was simply not a big deal - the enemy came over, and the two sides had a ping-pong fight, and a lot of people died. Isn't this very big? Is it normal? What's there to worry about? There's no one who won't die in a war!

From a certain perspective, what he said is probably right. There is no one who is immortal in a war. After a battle, it is not uncommon for blood to flow and corpses to litter the fields. On the contrary, a city like Void City has experienced many wars, and in the end not even a single person died, which is truly an unbelievable rarity.

However, Sui Xiong didn't want anyone in his family to die, nor did Leon, nor did the senior leaders of the Northwest Republic and the Void Mask Church.

This new country, located on the northwest border of the main plane, far away from the civilized world, is the sustenance of their ideals. They hope to make this place peaceful and peaceful, so that the residents here can live and work in peace and contentment. No matter how absurd or naive they are, they don't want ordinary residents to die in this war.

"In this case, you should bow to them." Leonard said.

Sui Xiong smiled bitterly and remained silent.

Leonard's idea was good, but there were some things that he didn't understand.

There is a fundamental contradiction between the republic and the feudal system, and this contradiction is completely irreconcilable. Even if he wants to give in, others will not agree.

This skeleton labor incident, at first glance, seemed to be caused by his insistence on speeding up construction, which caused such trouble. But behind this dispute is the unanimous hostility of almost all countries and almost all rulers in the continent towards the Northwest Republic.

The current Northwest Republic is actually like a tiger standing among wolves. As long as you show even a little bit of weakness, you are likely to be surrounded by a group of people.

Therefore, even though Sui Xiong knew that the crisis could be temporarily resolved as long as he stopped using skeleton labor, he was absolutely unwilling to do so.

Because he cannot bow his head, neither can the Northwest Republic.

The new order they symbolize cannot be bowed down!

Only by fighting again and again, blinding those eyes that peered into the Republic, interrupting those black hands that wanted to reach out to the Republic, and beating to death all those who were malicious to the Republic, could he relax, and the Republic Only then can you relax.

Peace cannot come from compromise, but from struggle!

The green jellyfish was lying on the conference table with its eyes closed, as if it was fast asleep, but there was an extremely vicious sneer hanging on the corner of its mouth.

Zhang Channian, an avid reader, fell ill. The doctor diagnosed him with diabetes and he would be hospitalized for a month. He was very panicked and came to me to ask for blessings.

Now, is diabetes a big deal? My mother has had diabetes for almost 20 years, and she is still in high spirits. He was so panicked!

Fortunately, he looks like the fat tiger in Doraemon... How can he be so cowardly!

It's fine!
