The Northern Expedition is approaching, and the entire Auckland Empire has set its eyes on the Northern Expedition, and many of them have been keenly aware of the abnormalities, and the Northern Expedition may just be an appetizer before the real world is turned upside down.

Perhaps after this Northern Expedition, even more crazy things will befall the Auckland Empire and even the entire European and German continents, and the entire continent will be in turmoil at that time.

After receiving the news from Wen Sa, Rhodes immediately gathered a group of high-level officials to discuss the Northern Expedition, and after learning about the turmoil on the border of the empire, everyone was shocked, and then angry, extremely dissatisfied with the Dragon Overlord Empire and the Dragon God Sect hidden behind the Eight Kingdoms.

Of course, everyone just vented, and did not become uncalm because of this, and no one chose to avoid this matter, when the war involved religion, Taoism could not be left alone.

Therefore, everyone actively discussed the countermeasures, and various measures were put forward one by one, and most of them were feasible methods, which shows that the senior management has gone through so many things and has grown into top talents.

However, after all, the development of Taoism still lacks the accumulation of time, and everyone's strategic vision is still a little worse, and when thinking about many problems, they will be bound by their vision, and they lack the overall situation.

"Okay, that's the general strategic direction. ”

Rod knocked on the table in front of him, looked at the people around him who were slightly nervous, and said with a smile in his mouth,

"Don't worry so much, although our Auckland Empire is weak, not everyone can be bullied, and you also underestimate our Majesty Wen Sa, these things have already been seen by him a long time ago, the reason why the Northern Expedition was launched in advance, in addition to the turmoil of the Eight Kingdoms, is also because he saw an opportunity, so that the Auckland Empire can obtain an equal or even stronger hegemony with the other three empires in just a few years. ”

After a pause, Rod's face changed slightly, and his eyes became deep and sharp.

"This Northern Expedition may become the fuse, now the European continent has been peaceful for a long time, and there is never a shortage of careerists in the human race, when the balance is broken, those careerists will jump out, and when the time comes, the real war chaos should appear. ”

After listening to Rod's words, everyone couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts, and then fell into deep thought.

At the end of the meeting, Rhodes once again announced a major decision to everyone, that is, he would personally go to carry out the mission of preaching and stabilizing people's hearts after the Northern Expedition!

In this regard, everyone was taken aback and wanted to go instead of Rod, but soon they all reacted, this time only Rod's mission was going, and it could only be Rod's going.

Just like Wen Sa personally led the Northern Expedition, now is a period of opportunities and crises, and many things need to be done by these top levels, although it will be dangerous for Rhodes to go to the north in person, but it can also stabilize the post-war North as soon as possible, so that he can be free before the outbreak of a new war.

Knowing this, the people did not try to persuade them again, but respectfully obeyed the order, and began to run the entire vast system of Taoism, making a lot of preparations for war.

For a while, Taoism, which had just been at ease, was busy again.

At this time, the Northern Expedition had also spread throughout most of the empire, and the major provinces loyal to the empire and believed in Taoism had already known that the country was about to go to war.

After all, although Wen Sa led the four major legions, a full 200,000 army, once the war started, a steady stream of troops must be needed to support the front line.

Although the Empire's army is large, the legions stationed on the major borders cannot be easily mobilized, which requires the full support of the Empire's people.

Of course, these are the warm-blooded and belligerent sides, while those who fear the war and are greedy for life and death silently pray that the scourge of war will not spread, especially in the northern provinces, where a large number of people have begun to migrate to the southern provinces.

As for those who wanted to make money from the war, they began to hoard goods, preparing to make a lot of money during the war, of course, they did not know that the materials they collected would eventually belong to Taoism and the empire.

Because this kind of pests who disregard the interests of the empire and the state religion are not allowed to exist in the eyes of Rhodes and Wen Sa, and allowing them to move for the time being is just to reduce the pressure on their war readiness.

War, an immortal proposition that accompanies the development of human history and civilization, where there are people, there is struggle, and where there are people, there is war!

Under the influence of the atmosphere of war, people's hearts fluctuated.

At this time, Taoist Pope Rhodes announced that he would form a missionary team of 5,000 people in addition to the 30,000 Guardian Legions, and go to the north with the Guardian Legions, and would shoulder the noble mission of appeasing people's hearts and spreading the glory of Taoist ancestors after the war.

Those who performed well during the war even had the opportunity to get bishops and other high positions!

Mission, honor, interests.

Any one of these three is enough to make many people crazy, and when the three are combined, it immediately stimulates the enthusiasm of the entire Taoism, and countless people take the initiative to sign up for a trip to the Northland.

You must know that under the training of the Guardian Center, the Gospel Institute and other departments, as well as Huaqing College, the basic talents of Taoism are extremely rich, and a large number of people have signed up.

Such a high-profile act naturally caused the matter to spread quickly among the empire.

The rest of the religions in the empire were shocked at first, then envious and jealous, and finally helpless.

Taoism is the state religion of the empire, so such a huge and amazing move has naturally been negotiated with the empire, and the big cake in the north will presumably be divided between Taoism and the empire.

Not only that, but perhaps in the future, the newly laid territory of the Auckland Empire will be handed over to Taoism to preach.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in history, especially for the state religion, since Taoism is already the state religion of the Auckland Empire, it is reasonable to advance and retreat with the empire.

It's just that the previous Lother Divine Sect was far less powerful and domineering than Taoism, and its strength was extremely terrifying, so their development space was not small.

Now that Taoism is the state religion, sweeping the major sects in the empire, they can only watch what is in front of them even if they are red-eyed, if they dare to stretch out their hands, the consequences can be imagined.

As a result, the Northern Expedition of the Empire and the northward march of Taoism were prepared in an orderly manner.

Ten days later, the 200,000 troops of the four major armies quickly assembled under Wen Sa's order and marched to the Northlands with great momentum, and the urgency before the war hung over the northern provinces of the Oakland Empire.

Twelve days later, the 30,000 guardian legions and 5,000 missionary teams of Taoism have also assembled on the Keelung Mountains!
