Banner of the Evil God

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifice and war.

This is one of the famous quotes in the ancient Chinese classic Zuo Zhuan, which talks about the two most important things in governing a country, namely sacrifice and war. This record tells that around 572 BC, Duke Cheng of Lu, Duke Kang of Liu, and Duke Su of Cheng joined forces to help Duke Li of Jin attack the State of Qin. During the sacrifice, Duke Su of Cheng was not respectful enough, so Duke Kang of Liu criticized him for it.

In this record, "sacrifice" not only includes religious sacrifices, but also culture and education. Faith, culture, education, and war were indeed the most important things for a country in that era when agriculture was backward and industry was basically non-existent. Even in later generations, they are still extremely important matters.

Even in another world, it is the same.

By the way, Sui Xiong is not sure where this sentence came from. He remembered this sentence because in a certain game, there was a character with these eight words as decoration on his portrait background. The character was called Confucius, a kind and gentle educator, and he used the "physical" method to educate.

In fact, the design of this character is problematic, because the separation of education and religion is marked by Confucius...

Of course, Xiong Ge doesn't know this, he only remembers this sentence, and thinks it makes sense.

In this world, the distinction between education and religion is not obvious, there are not many scholars independent of religion, and even among the nobles there are many illiterate people. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole world is an educational desert.

It is precisely because of this that Sui Xiong's technical school and Woer's promotion of stationery have such a huge impact, so that Woer can rely on the achievements of promoting cultural education to enter the true god from legend in an instant, and in a short time, he has been promoted to medium divine power.

The people in this world are really eager for education, and they have been eager for too long.

As the country with the best education in the world, the Northwest Republic has basically eliminated illiteracy in the country. Even poor people who don't have time to study full-time will go to the literacy night school jointly run by the Void Church and the Knowledge Church to take free literacy classes at night. About a year of literacy learning is enough for them to recognize hundreds of simple words and write some simple sentences.

This level naturally belongs to the category of "low-educated people" in the Northwest Republic, but if they go to places like the Orc Empire, they are definitely intellectuals and can be treated with courtesy.

And in the army of the Northwest Republic, the education level is even higher. In fact, there are really many families who will send their children who have just grown up to serve as patrol soldiers for three to five years, mainly because they can learn skills by serving in the army - these skills naturally include culture.

The military system of the Northwest Republic is like this: the army is divided into two major parts, one is the patrol army and the other is the national defense army. Both are recruited from the public, but the former is temporary and the latter is long-term.

The patrol army is generally composed of young people recruited from the public. Their work mainly includes domestic road patrols, chasing thieves, maintaining public order, and helping with disaster relief. Because the public security in the Northwest Republic is very good and there are no natural disasters, in most cases, apart from daily patrols, they train and study.

The National Defense Army is different. Not only do they have a higher training intensity than the Patrol Army, but they will also take the initiative from time to time under the leadership of the Knights to eliminate the dangerous monsters in the territory.

The Northwest Republic is located in the northwest of the main plane continent. Its predecessor was the famous dangerous area "Ash Forest", where negative energy overflows, creatures are almost extinct, and monsters are rampant. Skeletons run around as soon as it gets dark, and all kinds of monsters emerge in an endless stream. If we use the terms in the game, the danger index is conservatively estimated to be five stars or more.

Although the purification array has been widely promoted after the establishment of the Northwest Republic, and the intrusion of undead monsters such as skeletons has been basically eliminated around the residential areas, there are still many monsters that are not affected by the purification array. Most of them are vicious and dangerous, and they need manpower to clear them out.

At first, the team to clear monsters was led by "Red Flame Dragon" Qiao Xiu himself, who traveled between various towns in the Republic every day to sweep away all the monsters they encountered. Later, as the Republic grew stronger, the army also became stronger. Now there are national defense forces stationed in every town. They usually train under the guidance of high-level warriors and mages. Once they know that there are more dangerous monsters nearby, they will go out to destroy them.

The entire Northwest Republic is covered with several large and small detection arrays. With the help of this array, people can find monsters when they are still far away from towns and villages. Moreover, there are many special devices that can mislead monsters on the periphery of each town and village, which are enough to buy a certain amount of time for the national defense army, so that they can form a team before the monsters cause harm to people.

Relying on various arrangements, and most importantly, relying on the bravery of the national defense army, the Northwest Republic has never had monsters wreaking havoc and destroying villages and towns for so many years. In fact, after the official establishment of the national defense army, no monsters have been able to break through their defenses and attack people's residential areas.

In this sense, the national defense army of the Northwest Republic is strong enough to fully meet the needs of the country and the people.

But even so, the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, Reinard, felt very unsatisfied. He believed that there was no end to progress and that an excellent army should be like an excellent warrior, never complacent, always pursuing progress and constantly climbing to higher heights.

So when he learned about the performance of the Northern Army of the Gold Coin Federation, he hurried there, witnessed the battle of the Northern Army, and secretly watched the training of the Northern Army.

Afterwards, he told the senior officials of the Republic about what he saw. The senior officials of the Republic were shocked. After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that the training of the National Defense Force should be strengthened to reach or even surpass the Northern Army of the Gold Coin Federation.

After all, the Northwest Republic has unique advantages and there is no reason to be inferior to others.

They have the world's most generous military expenditures, the world's best armaments, the world's most loyal, brave and highly educated soldiers, and the world's highest proportion of clergy. No matter from which aspect, the foundation of the National Defense Force is stronger than that of the Federal Northern Army. As long as the training is adjusted, it will definitely be able to catch up!

All they need is Sui Xiong's approval.

"I see..." After Leonard explained, Sui Xiong suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "So... your preparations have been done? No wonder today's meeting was so efficient..."

Leonard smiled: "Yes, everything is ready, just wait and see the result! You won't be kept waiting for a long time!"
