I have millions of wage earners

Hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers say they are strong, right?

If they got together, they would be easily defeated by the Empire.

But these barbarians attacked in different directions, at different times, and through different routes.

Soon, the empire's borders were in panic everywhere.

These barbarians who invaded at the same time were not deadly, but they were annoying enough.

Flynn also specifically instructed the barbarians around the empire to focus their attacks on the properties of those nobles - the plantations of Lord XX, the pastures of XX palace nobles, the ancestral homes of XX senators in the countryside, and so on.

Because of these people, they have energy and can have a voice in the empire's decision-making.

After such an operation, there were voices within the empire calling for not to start a full-scale war with the Iron Qiu Kingdom for the time being.

Then he gained the upper hand again.

After all, the Empire and the others don’t want to start wars in all directions at the same time.

Especially to deal with the Iron Qiu Kingdom, it is necessary to concentrate all the empire's full strength.

The empire is very clear that the brave men of the Iron Hill Kingdom are very powerful, and the empire must concentrate its superior forces to deal with them.

If we divide our forces, we might not be able to defeat the Iron Hill Kingdom!

In addition to militarily, it threatens the empire in all directions.

Flynn's more important means was to achieve a comprehensive diplomatic victory.

According to Lena's previous commitment to help contact Central Church.

Flynn went out of his way to carefully select and give away many treasures.

The church is not short of money, but it values ​​all kinds of treasures.

Especially those long-lost ancient holy relics collected by players through adventures outside the demon world, dungeons, and other human worlds.

It even makes many church leaders jealous.

Flynn selected some of the cultural relics that were related to the Holy Religion and packed them up and sent them to the Pope.

The Central Church's treasure storage has grown by a large amount.

At the same time, the news that the Kingdom of Iron Hill was about to set out to conquer the demon world and challenge the powerful disaster god Alecto on behalf of the human world spread throughout the entire continent at the speed of light through Flynn's propaganda.

Now if you go to the empire and ask, even a three-year-old child will know that the brave men of the Iron Hill Kingdom, under the leadership of King Flynn, are going to fight the damn demons and conquer the demon world!

…

There can be a secular king who organizes an army to take the initiative to attack the demon world.

The church has always been very supportive of things like this that can suppress demons.

Plus Flynn sent so many gifts.

As well as the entire continent, full public opinion propaganda.

Flynn's military operations against the demon god Alecto gradually became inviolable and inviolable.

Tie Qiu has gone to fight the Demon God, but your empire is going to stab the devil at this time?

what?

You want to betray humanity and the Holy Religion, right?

During the publicity process, many volunteers came to Super City one after another.

A large number of fanatical believers, as well as adventurers who hoped to make a name for themselves in the war with the devil, joined Flynn's army one after another.

There are also some fanatical religious people among them.

The influx of a large number of volunteers even led Flynn to specially open two volunteer regiments to stuff in all these miscellaneous friendly troops.

The influx of a large number of external volunteers, including fanatics from within the Holy Church, further increased the influence of Flynn's war against the demon world.

Soon, an announcement came from the Central Church.

The Pope, his old man, declared Flynn's ongoing war against the devil a holy war.

Jihad has a lofty status in the religious system of the Holy Cult.

A war declared as a holy war can not only boost the morale of believers in the army - you must know that the vast majority of indigenous soldiers in this world are believers.

Jihad also gave Flynn's war unparalleled prestige and legitimacy.

After Flynn's war was officially declared a holy war, it was actually difficult for the empire to continue attacking Flynn's Iron Hill Kingdom.

Because although there is no express provision, other countries that believe in holy religions are not allowed to attack countries that are engaged in holy war.

But the lack of explicit regulations does not mean that the empire can do this.

If the empire insists on going its own way and continues to attack Iron Qiu, it will ignore the authority of the church and disappoint all believers in the world.

You know, there are quite a few fanatical believers within the empire!

Obviously, the Central Church's announcement that Flynn was waging a jihad made the empire very unhappy.

However, the conflict between imperial power and religious power has continued for a long time.

The church, stumbling upon the empire at this time, was originally considered by the empire.

In addition, the empire originally had its own difficulties.

Now that the Iron Hill Kingdom has been declared a country in the Holy War, it just gives the already hesitant empire an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, after encountering a large number of barbarian invasions on the border, Iron Qiu was declared a country in the Holy War.

Within the empire, the peace faction finally had the absolute upper hand.

The emperor also decisively canceled the original military operation.

It would have taken some time for him to be able to organize a large-scale attack again, so he took this opportunity to recuperate.

In the empire, many people still looked to the Iron Hill Kingdom, but they suffered heavy losses in the war to attack the Demon God without overestimating their capabilities.

By that time, they will come to pick peaches again!

Many people in the empire's top ranks are not optimistic about Flynn's holy war against the devil.

From the empire's point of view, there is only one person on this continent who is qualified to confront the Demon God, and that is their empire.

That damned Tie Qiu who overestimated his capabilities had better be taught a lesson by the devil and lose his troops.

It would be even better if the Demon God could find a way to crack the hero's resurrection method and let the empire learn from it.

The Empire will continue to pay attention to this battle - their spies have also infiltrated the Flynn Volunteer Corps under the banner of volunteers, preparing to convey first-hand intelligence to the Empire's top brass.

…

On Flynn's side, after he was officially recognized as the country that initiated the holy war, he was basically certain that the empire would not attack him again.

Much subsequent information also confirmed this.

Therefore, before the empire gradually withdraws the assembled troops.

Flynn was gradually preparing for the Northern Expedition.

The empire doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore, it’s going to attack the Demon God in the north with all its strength!

This time the Northern Expedition was different from the previous Battle of the Maginot Line.

In the early stage, there is no need to use all the heroes.

This is an expedition, which requires first opening up the communication lines, then organizing a large army to suppress the situation, and also fighting the Demon God Hard Steel.

This war will probably take a long time, and several waves may need to be organized.

Flynn, let most players do what they want.

Just with the major guilds as the core, a group of Northern Expedition Jihad armies were formed.
