Chapter 1 General Mobilization (Part 1)
A notice is posted next to the four gates of the capital of the Kingdom of Glory, on the notice board in the square in front of the palace, and on every place used for publicity and notice in various countries and cities.
On the notice, a few lines of short words were written in common language and in the local official language.
[At the New Year, we will launch a final decisive battle against the orcs. At that time, heroes and heroes from all over the world, kings and lords of various countries, including human gods from various gods, will participate in the war. All warriors who are willing to participate in the battle and fight side by side with us will be recruited. All travel expenses, food and accommodation are included, all supplies, equipment, and rewards are generous. There are gods who are specifically responsible for soul guidance, as well as high pensions and complete funerals.]
Next to many announcements, there are special people responsible for publicity. The statements of these propaganda personnel are not just about the contents of the announcements, but about a variety of them.
For example, some people promote "If you defeat orcs, those who make great contributions can become lords, and those who make small contributions can become officials. Even if you don't have any contributions, you can only help you move things, and at least you can get a wealth that is enough for the whole family to eat and drink for several years."
Some people promote "War is indeed a death, but people are always going to die. It is worth it to risk their lives and fight for a bright future for their family members! People must leave something for their family members in their lifetime. The martyrs of this war will be taken care of by the Church of the Gods. Even if they die, they can ensure the stability of their family members for the rest of their lives!"
Someone promoted, "For so many years, orcs have always attacked and we defended. Now it's finally our turn to attack them! What else should I think? If the orcs have been defeated this time, I will no longer have to worry about orcs invading us!"
Some people promote "What are we most afraid of in our daily lives? It is not that we are afraid of death, but that we fall into the underworld and fall into hell after death. Although we all believe in gods, who is confident that we can go to the Kingdom of God after death? Now is the best opportunity. As long as we participate in this war, no matter whether we die in the battlefield or not, we will definitely be taken to the Kingdom of God after death! So what else can we hesitate? The opportunity to completely solve the problem in one go will never encounter it again in our life!"
At the same time, countless bards launched propaganda in taverns, squares and streets, either sang the careers of heroes who fought against orcs in the past, boasted of the lucky ones who gained wealth and status in the war with orcs, or accused the orcs of the orcs of the past invasion and attacks on humanity.
The various churches of the human gods also took action. The priests went to the believers and called on them to fight for the glory of gods, for the glory of mankind, and for their own glory. They encouraged them to muster up their courage, make up their minds, and set foot on the battlefield with their heads held high. And all churches made guarantees that in this battle, whether the king or the grand priest, the top leaders of human society would all be put into battle, and no one would hide in a safe rear.
Not only that, this time even the human gods will join the war without leaving any remaining power, doing their best, leaving no way out. Either they will win a big victory or lose miserably, and humans will not accept the third result!
All kinds of propaganda, reliable and unreliable, and unrealistic, just like the information bombing of later generations, filled all media and channels. Even in the "TV video show" in Void City, people spent a lot of money to buy advertisements... If it weren't for the timely development of the "Sleepless War God" who was responsible for the propaganda, they might have rented it out and made a big joke.
He was furious about this and scolded the people in the Propaganda Department. The most terrifying thing is that as a voter, he has the energy to never tire, and can be used to go around day and night, from morning to night, and then from night to night, without any problem. When he scolded this last time, even a hero with a brave bone and bronze skin must be both courageous and will never dare to commit it again in the future.
With such strong propaganda, the entire human society was quickly completely mobilized. Whether in the south or the north, the east or the west, everyone became busy.
Brave or pious people signed up for the army, among which the strong were armed and received military training, while those who were not strong were arranged to conduct military production, prepare weapons, consumables, and reserve food and grass.
The production of all territories is no longer freely circulated, but is distributed after research to produce at the highest efficiency and obtain the most benefits. The residents living in remote areas are collectively moved back to the prosperous hinterland and engaged in various production work. Those who originally had a large amount of wealth donated their property and purchased various things they needed.
The entire human society is gradually turning into a terrifying war machine.
Of course, there are exceptions. The areas where the gods believed in determine neutrality are exceptions.
For example, Garles City.
Leon Igor stood on the terrace at the highest point of the city lord's mansion, staring at the direction of the portal in the city.
Many humans and orcs were rushing through the portal. If there weren't guards maintaining order, I was afraid that the square where the portal was located would be in chaos.
Kalisa Riley, the nominal lord of Garles City, and his wife, came behind him.
"Since the release of the General *******, more and more people have rushed to the Kingdom of Glory." She said worriedly, "Would we just close the portal now? Do we not cause trouble..."
"The time when my Lord decides to close the portal is when both sides formally declare war. Until then, no matter how much pressure we are, we must continue to maintain the portal operation." Leon replied, "Besides, this chaos is nothing."
He smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Kalisa hugged him from behind, pressed her head against his back, listening to his slow and steady heartbeat.
Gradually, she was already worried and calmed down.
"The Queen of Fire (Goddess of Love) just sent a divine envoy and told me that the scale of this war will be very large, and both the human gods and the orc gods have been prepared to do their best. Both sides are frantically trying to win over allies, and it is likely that they will develop into a war of more than ten gods - a war that has never been seen in the history of this world."
"No matter how many gods join the war, it's all the same thing, there's nothing to worry about." Leon said with a smile, "I will protect you anyway."
Kalisa stopped saying anything, hugged him tightly and closed her eyes.
Although the war is coming, she is fearless.
He is her hero. They all survived such a huge crisis back then. No matter what happens from now on, there is nothing scary!
Leon looked into the distance, smiling calmly on his face, but his heart was filled with worry.
(Your Majesty of Void Masquerade insists on being neutral, but if both sides really get angry, can we really continue to maintain a neutral position when we are desperate?)
He sighed deeply, hid all his worries in his heart, and silently calculated what he would need to deal with in the future.
