Coming events often cast their shadows before them. However, it didn’t have a great impact on the civilians of the Republic of Northwest.

In this world, and in most cases, war was related to the minority. A few knights with hundreds of soldiers could determine the ownership of a baronet. A dozen knights with 300 or 400 soldiers could control several viscount territories. Hundreds of knights with thousands of soldiers could shake a country. They could cause a big war that could attract the attention of all the countries in the mainland of the entire Main Plane.

Super wars, such as the battle of Sun’s Death Day, were few in the civilization history of the Main Plane. In fact, once the total number of people on both sides of the war reached more than 10,000, it would shake all the countries and leave a strong title in history.

The Republic of Northwest was located in the border area. Apart from the Rye Valley in the south which led to the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, there was no decent main road. The valleys in the east that traveled through the Mountains of Barrenness? Hey! Going through those valleys also meant going through the desert! Except for the smuggling merchants who didn’t care about their lives, no one dared to go through the desert to do business. How could the scale of such businesses grow that way?

No matter what the guys who were hostile to the Republic of Northwest thought, they were unlikely to find a way to assemble an army to attack it because of its geographical location.

Even if their army could fly, they had to fly over the Mountains of Barrenness, the desert, the Orc Empire, and the Commonwealth of Gold Coins first.

It would be okay if they launched a blitz. If they launched a long-range raid, they couldn’t hide from the War God System that had surrendered to the Void Mask.

All wars couldn’t escape from the search of the war gods. If the enemies were really stupid enough to fly such a long distance to attack, they would be exhausted. When they got here, they would find that the Church of the Void Mask and his allies with a mighty army, waiting to give them a head-on blow.

Moreover, it was also possible that they would finally fly into the big open mouth of the giant jellyfish after flying through the clouds.

Therefore, according to the estimation of Leon, it was most probable that the enemies would send elite troops at the level of professional adventurers. They would be led by top masters, and they would attack Void City directly.

In this case, the war would become a war between the few powerful people. It wouldn’t have much to do with ordinary civilians.

In other words, in this war, ordinary civilians and soldiers wouldn’t be eligible for being cannon fodder.

If they knew too much about it, they would only panic. What would be the use of that?

Therefore, after a discussion, everyone unanimously agreed not to disclose the news. They would only hold a few risk-avoiding exercises. The civilians had been too secure gradually over these years. Those exercises would be enough to warn them not to be careless and not to lose their vigilance.

The real preparations for the war were still carried out by the powerful masters who represented the high-end force. Their imaginary enemies were also strong masters at the same level.

The strategy department led by Devil Leonard made a detailed deduction. They estimated that the attacking enemies would consist of many Legendary Masters. It wasn’t surprising that there would be tens of them. There might be some Legendary Peaks or even demigods. When they fought, most of them would directly launch mass-destruction attacks. Whether it was useful or not, they would cause a lot of death and injuries first. That was the most horrible thing for the Republic of Northwest.

According to Sui Xiong’s original intention, nothing was horrible because he would stand guard here personally. If the battlefield was limited to the Main Plane, he had the confidence to defeat all the enemies. Even if the believers of the gods of the Pantheon temple formed a team and all the strong masters of the entire Ring of the World came, he still had the confidence. However, Leon and the others disagreed with him. After all, the gods had their own rules. Although Sui Xiong was strong enough to ignore the rules, sooner or later he would become a god, and he would leave the Main Plane. At that time, he would have to pay for his behavior.

In order to not be attacked by all the gods at that time, he shouldn’t be so arrogant.
