Chapter 1: The General Mobilization (I)
A proclamation was posted next to the four gates of the capital of the Radiant Kingdom, on the notice board in the square in front of the royal palace, and in every place used for propaganda and notice in every country and city. Vertices M. updates the fastest
On the notice, a few short lines were written in the lingua franca and the official language of the locality.
[On the occasion of the New Year, the final battle against the orcs will be launched, when heroes and heroes from all over the world, princes and lords of various countries, including human gods from various god systems will participate in the war.] We are now recruiting all the warriors who are willing to participate in the battle and fight alongside us. All travel expenses, food and lodging, supply of equipment, rich rewards, and a god who is responsible for soul connection, as well as high pensions and perfect aftermath. 】
Next to many notices, there are also special people responsible for publicity. The statements of these propagandists are not just the contents of the notices, but are varied.
For example, some people advertise that "if you defeat the orcs, you can become a lord if you make great achievements, and you can become an official if you make small achievements, even if you don't have any merit, just help carry things, at least you can get a wealth that is enough for the whole family to eat and drink for several years." ”
Some people propagandize, "It is true that fighting a war will kill people, but people always have to die." It is worth risking one's life to fight for a glorious future for one's family! The martyrs of this war will be cared for by the Church of the Gods, and even if they die, they will be able to ensure the safety of their families for the rest of their lives!"
Some people propagandized, "For so many years, the orcs have always attacked, and we defended, but now it's finally our turn to attack them! What else do you want to think about? After defeating the orcs this time, we will never have to worry about the orcs invading us in the future!"
Some people propagandize, "What are we most afraid of? It's not that we're afraid of death, it's that we're afraid of falling into the underworld and hell after we die." Although we all believe in God, who can be sure that we will be able to go to the kingdom of God after we die? Now is the best opportunity, as long as we participate in this war, whether we die on the battlefield or not, we will definitely be able to be led to the kingdom of God after death! So what is there to hesitate about? The opportunity to solve the problem completely at once will never be encountered again in this life!"
At the same time, countless bards launched propaganda in taverns, squares, and streets, either singing the praises of the heroes who fought against the orcs, or boasting about the lucky ones who had gained wealth and status in the war with the orcs, or complaining about the past invasions and attacks by the orcs against humanity.
The churches of the gods of mankind also took action, and the clergy went out among the faithful and called them to fight for the glory of God, for the glory of humanity, for their own glory. Encourage them to summon up courage, make up their minds, and step onto the battlefield with their heads held high. And all the churches have promised that in this battle, whether it is the king or the high priest, the top of human society will all be thrown into battle, and not a single one will be cowered in the rear.
Not only that, but this time even the human gods will enter the war one by one, doing their best, at all costs, leaving no retreat. Win or lose, humanity does not accept the third outcome!
All kinds of propaganda, reliable and unreliable, like words and unwords, like the information bombardment of later generations, filled all the media and channels, and even in the "TV video program" of Void City, some people spent a lot of money to buy advertisements...... If it weren't for the "God of War Who Doesn't Sleep" Xiuge, who was in charge of the propaganda, found out in time, maybe he would really rent it out and make a big joke.
For this reason, Xiuge was furious and scolded the group of people in the Propaganda Department. The most terrifying thing is that as a voter, he has the energy to never get tired, and he can go around day and night, scolding from morning to night and from night to morning, and there is no problem at all. was scolded by him like this once, even if he was a good man with iron bones and copper skin and leopard guts, he would be terrified, and he would never dare to commit it again in the future.
With such powerful propaganda, the entire human society was soon completely mobilized. Whether it's the South or the North, the East or the West, everyone is busy.
Brave or pious people signed up to join the army, and the stronger ones were armed and trained in the military, while the less strong were sent to military production, preparing weapons, consumables, and stockpiling food and grass.
The production of all the territories is no longer free to circulate, but is distributed after research in order to produce the most efficiently and profitably. Those living in remote areas were collectively relocated back to the prosperous hinterland to engage in various productive jobs. And those who originally had a lot of wealth donated their possessions to buy all kinds of things they needed.
The entire human society is gradually turning into a terrifying war machine.
Of course, there are exceptions. The exception is those in which the gods believe in the neutral region.
Let's say, Garth City.
Leon Igor stood on the terrace at the top of the City Lord's Mansion, watching in the direction of the portal in the city.
Many humans and orcs were hurrying through the portal, and if it weren't for the guards to maintain order, the square where the portal was located would have been in chaos.
Kalisa Riley, the titular lord of Garth City, his wife, came behind him.
"Since the general mobilization order was issued, more and more people have rushed to the Shining Kingdom. She said worriedly, "Shall we just close the portal now, lest we get into trouble......
"My lord's decision to close the portal is when the two sides officially declare war, and until then, no matter how much pressure there is, we will continue to keep the portal running. Leon replied, "Besides, this little confusion is nothing. ”
He smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
Kalisa hugged him from behind and pressed her head to the back of his heart, listening to his slow, steady heartbeat.
Gradually, she was originally full of worries and settled down.
"The Flame Queen (Goddess of Love) has just sent an emissary to tell me that the scale of this war will be very large, and that both the human gods and the orc gods are ready to do their best. Both sides are frantically trying to woo allies, and it is likely to eventually develop into a war of more than ten god systems, a major war that has never been seen in the history of this world. ”
"No matter how many gods participate in the war, it's all about horizontal and vertical, there's nothing to worry about. Leon smiled and said, "No matter what, I'll protect you." ”
Carissa said no more, hugged him tightly and closed her eyes.
Although war was coming, she was undaunted.
He was her hero, and they all survived such a huge crisis back then, and no matter what happened after that, there was nothing to be afraid of!
Leon stared into the distance, a smile on his face, but his heart was full of worry.
(His Majesty Masquerade Void insists on neutrality, but if the two sides really kill each other, can we really continue to maintain a neutral stance when the time comes to desperation?)
He sighed deeply, hiding all his worries in his heart, silently thinking about the things that needed to be dealt with for a while in the future.
The more dangerous and difficult it is, the more calm it is to calm down. Your Majesty is a jellyfish and never cares what others think, but as the leader of the Garth people and the high priest of the Void Mask Church, he must let everyone see a calm and calm self, so that he can stabilize the morale of the army! )
