The Northern Continent Empire dispatched envoys to conduct daily brainwashing in the occupied territories, using classic fascist methods to control the population, win over the former weak and grant them power and influence, while targeting the former powerful figures in major cities of the Southern Continent to win over the hearts of the people. The conquered territories were transformed into incubators for soldiers, thereby expanding military aid and increasing logistical territory.
Such behavior may appear noble and righteous, but it has actually teetered on the edge of madness.
Those with insight in the conquered cities and other parts of the Southern Continent all voiced their condemnation.
This move, aimed directly at the Gothic Empire in the Northern Continent, is akin to unleashing a wave of human destruction—a final, desperate act before annihilation!
Unfortunately, all such insightful individuals were arrested in the conquered territories, sentenced to cholera punishment, and beheaded on an execution platform for speaking out against injustice.
Those who made such statements in major cities across the Southern Continent were all labeled 'traitors to humanity' by the Gothic Empire, which continuously dispatched assassins to kill them, thus demonstrating the royal family's punishment!
For a moment, both the North and South fell silent, and no one dared to speak out of turn.
Ordinary people, lacking knowledge and experience, were swept up in it, their minds wandering and their spontaneous desires leading them to degenerate into this system in the Northern Continent.
The Southern Continent also had a considerable number of rebels who believed that the Gothic Empire's actions represented true civilization in human society. Furthermore, a large number of frustrated individuals, driven by the pursuit of wealth and status, either brought their families or abandoned their children to the conquered territories of the Northern Continent, hoping to join them and share in their fleeting glory.
Fascism is the most extreme and insane synthesis of human ideology, characterized by its powerful brainwashing and cohesive effects. It exploits people's xenophobia and herd mentality to control the entire group.
Humans are inherently social beings, and a powerful and exclusive group is an irresistible temptation for an individual, especially when that group is using lofty pretexts to carry out the feat of resistance, which is even more captivating.
Just like Hitler in the past, after his death, countless people followed suit with suicide or suicide attacks, in order to follow the Führer to that endless Hell.
Such a seemingly perfect community, characterized by internal mutual assistance, harmony, and love, and united against a common enemy, is bound to be captivating.
More importantly, the ruler of this group was the last emperor left over from the feudal era, a great emperor who regarded resisting the tyranny of the Pale God as his lifelong belief from beginning to end, which made this group more attractive and exclusive.
This xenophobia makes them exceptionally united, and this allure makes them frantically attract followers, even more so than the Holy Church of the past!
Not to mention their policy of providing meager support but generous compensation; as long as one sacrifices their life for this trusted and relied-upon group, their family can enjoy three generations of peace and security. This spirit of sacrificing one's own happiness for the sake of the whole family is so strong that it eventually leads to madness!
If the ruler of the Southern Continent at this time were not that Pale God, but a real human being, perhaps the people of the Southern Continent would still have an even stronger desire to resist.
After all, they could live peacefully; who would want to die alongside these lunatics?
Unfortunately, their ruler was not human, but a true tyrant who was like a venomous snake and could strike at any moment to kill!
A mad god who is so lawless that he treats the entire Southern Continent as his own personal fiefdom!
This means that the higher up people are in the Southern Continent, the greater the pressure they face.
Just as only Abraham could perceive the pressure of His Majesty, only those members at the top of the social hierarchy could truly experience the terrifying oppression of that Pale God.
All their past struggles and accumulated power could crumble at the mere word of that Pale God.
The feeling of striving to the top only to still be firmly controlled by others is truly despairing for them.
And it wasn't just them who felt despair; even the lowest-ranking people of the Southern Continent were in utter despair.
They are all members who have experienced the past policy of universal slavery and the current policy of openness. Their past lives were changed at the whim of that Pale God, and the world was turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Such terrifying oppression and such arbitrary and reckless behavior put them under tremendous pressure.
Those in the upper echelons may have a strong foundation, so even if they are suddenly severely weakened, they won't necessarily die a violent death. But those at the bottom have to do whatever they're told. If things were to change drastically overnight, if it weren't for the fact that our Pale God still has a shred of humanity, they would truly starve to death.
This caused everyone in the Southern Continent, from the upper classes to the lower classes, to truly lose their way in this frenzied trend.
The right wing has always been a united front. All the efforts made by the Northern Continent now have turned this frenzied trend into the final tidal wave of human extinction Northern Continent.
Since the fall of Kaier City, the Northern Continent's army has been continuously expanding outwards.
They adopted a combined political and military approach, with the army also equipped with brainwashing agents who followed the army in indoctrination efforts, thereby enabling their rampant expansion.
They also maintained strong control over the rear lines, quickly assimilating any conquered territory to make it their logistical base.
In this way, the Northern Continent completely gained a foothold in the Southern Continent and began to expand wildly.
Compared to it, the Southern Continent appears far too weak.
The leader of the Southern Continent, Pale God Norton, secluded himself at home, spouting nonsense every day; he was practically an idiot.
The second leader Abraham, has also been missing for some reason recently. Even when he occasionally appears, he is always serving the Pale God. Even when he comes forward to finalize strategies, he sighs and seems to be daydreaming.
As for the third leader, Elizabeth, she was even more useless. She always served that Pale God, and she had neither the insight of Abraham nor the ability to solve problems for His Majesty. She was like someone who had already started to board the train and set off, while she was still squatting in the toilet.
But regardless, that Pale God remains the spiritual leader of the Holy Empire, and also the spiritual belief of the Holy Empire's only patriots!
