"Have you heard? Another war is breaking out!"
The declaration of war was published in the newspapers and distributed to every citizen. The news of the conflict between the Church of Truth and the Heavenly Revelation God System spread far and wide, and the recruitment notices posted everywhere confirmed it.
Before the Ancient God invasion, the Romanov Kingdom's standing army was consistently maintained at around one million. During wartime, retired veterans could be urgently recruited overnight to form an army of three million. Katerina, deeply aware of the value of soldiers, began to train young people of suitable age in three-year cycles after ascending the throne.
During the years of war with the Demons, the Romanov Kingdom's standing army reached three million soldiers. These were just the active servicemen, with countless trained recruits outside the official ranks providing a steady stream of manpower.
