Knowing that not only the God of the Internet, but also the Goddess of Waves and the God of Fear were watching over the army made the soldiers even more excited and boosted their morale even more.
The power and effect that each god had compared to mortals was already something that motivated mortals, and knowing that there was not just one god watching them, but three gods made their confidence soar even higher.
So they began to march into enemy territory with confidence.
The big difference between this and a real war is that our goal now wasn't to try to dominate the kingdom at all costs.
Thinking about war and the MMORPG games I played in my previous world, I even had an idea that I decided to implement in order to gain as much advantage as possible...
- Arthur's POV -
Controlling the army via the Internet was much easier... heck, passing information to the soldiers to start gathering their things so we could start marching to each person directly instead of telling my subordinates to pass this information on the command line was completely different.
Instead of spending the normal 40 minutes organizing the army to move, with the direct command to all the soldiers, everyone was in shape and ready to march in just 15 minutes.
With each command being so efficient, the confidence of the captains and myself grew.
Surprisingly, after an hour of marching, a strange message appeared in everyone's army internet book.
I quickly grabbed my book and saw a message as a window, similar to every time the Internet received an update.
[Mission of the Internet God:
- As members of the Internet Empire, it is your duty to help people who do not yet have access to the magnificent Internet, people who are still living in ignorance, unaware of the incredible opportunities and how their lives could be better with Internet access.
To help these people, when you meet someone who doesn't know about the Internet, you should tell them about the Internet and convince them to become Internet users.
Of course, no effort to help people goes unnoticed by the God of the Internet, so any Internet Coin you receive during this time of war, both from logging in daily and from inviting people who are not yet on the Internet, will be tripled!
Another way to earn Internet Coins is by killing demons! Each demon killed is worth 30 Internet Coins to the person who killed it!
In addition to tripling these rewards, a new store will be opened exclusively for you!
[War Store]
Enjoy!]
After reading this message, I was shocked, just for being a soldier under the God of the Internet during the war, all the Internet Coins we would receive would be tripled!
In other words, instead of the 28 Internet Coins we would receive for logging onto the Internet every day, we would receive a total of 84 Internet Coins every week!
Not to mention that when we invite someone, instead of receiving the normal 100 Internet Coins, we would receive 300 Internet Coins!
Even though the Internet Coins didn't have much use these days, except for betting on [Card Masters] or buying books in the [Library], it was still great to see the number of Internet Coins in our account increasing every day, so much so that even I was proud of the 472 Internet Coins I had in my account.
However, when I saw that a shop had appeared where we could spend our Internet Coins, I was curious and quickly opened it.

Looking at the long list of blessings I could buy, I realized that I was very close to being able to buy the 50% Martial Arts Learning Blessing!
Even though a 50% increase in the efficiency of my training wouldn't directly change my strength that much, I was more curious about the 50% Blessing of Creativity in this area, which could bring unexpected results.
If that creativity helped me find a better way to train, or develop a new skill, or whatever, it might make me even stronger, increasing my chances of survival and victory in my future battles.
"Woah, I can buy a 100% blessing in martial arts!" I heard a surprised cry from one of the soldiers.
"What?! Really?! I can't even buy a 50% blessing..." Another soldier beside the first one said.
"I can buy the 200% Blessing with magic!" A mage said excitedly.
With an army of 60,000, it was obvious that there were people who had invited a few dozen people and had a few thousand Internet coins stashed away, so it wasn't so surprising that there were people with more coins than me, but what I didn't expect was to hear a shocked cry from a young soldier.
"I can buy a 4000% Blessing!" He shouted in shock.
At the sound of his cry, all the soldiers who heard it fell silent and looked at him intently.
All of them had been curious about the most expensive blessings and had looked up their prices, so they all knew that the price of a four thousand percent blessing was more than 30,000 Internet Coins!
"How did you get so many Internet Coins?" A soldier near the boy asked in shock as he looked at the screen of his Internet Book.
Excited, the boy answered honestly. "I discovered the Internet in the Duke's town, and when I returned to my hometown, I invited all the villagers to the Internet, which earned me a lot of Internet Coins!"
When I heard that, even I was jealous of that boy.
With a 4,000 percent increase in his learning, whether in magic or martial arts, this boy would achieve a breakthrough equivalent to 280 days of training in just one week of training!
And that's not even the most important thing, but imagine what it must be like to be 40 times more creative when training or practicing in a particular area?
This kid could have an epiphany in practice and instead of improving the equivalent of 280 days in one week, he could have a breakthrough the equivalent of several years in that single week!
This increase in strength in such a short period of time would be very good not only for his future, but also for the present, since he would receive better pay and benefits in the army, have more opportunities to rise in rank more easily compared to people weaker than him, as well as various other benefits.
When I saw the envy of the other soldiers, I knew that they were thinking the same thing as I was, so within a few minutes, everyone's expression changed from envy for the boy to determination to do well in this war, kill many demons, and invite as many people as possible to the Internet, only then could we receive blessings as powerful as this boy had.
As the Internet spread throughout the army, in no time the 60,000 soldiers knew about the boy who could buy a 4000% blessing.
This only served to further excite the soldiers and change their mood from excitement and seeking glory to determination and seeking personal gain.
Knowing that they could receive such good benefits for killing demons and inviting believers to the Internet God really excited everyone.
Even the soldiers who weren't called to this army and stayed in the cities of our kingdoms became jealous when they saw the soldiers' posts on the [Carrier Pigeon] about the [War Store].
Just by doing this, the God of the Internet won the hearts and greed of the soldiers.
I feel sorry for the demons who meet our army...
