After the introduction, Wu Ming said excitedly, "...Little Deer, once things are settled here, I'll take you back to Fuxing City! If possible, I'll take you to meet the leader!"

"Our Chinese nation is now truly in dire need of rebuilding, and we are in dire need of all kinds of talents. Someone like you who can take charge on your own will definitely be highly valued by the leader!"

Lin Lu bit her lower lip and said softly, "But, Brother Wu Ming, all I want to do right now is stay by your side. I'm very strong now, so you don't need to worry about me getting into trouble."

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "I know, I will try my best to keep you in the First Army."

After a pause, Wu Ming said seriously, "Although I am the commander of the First Army and have the final say in military affairs, everything I have is given to me by the leader. I cannot do whatever I want, so I need to ask for instructions."

Lin Lu nodded heavily, "I know, Brother Wu Ming."

As she spoke, she gazed at Wu Ming and murmured, "Brother Wu Ming, can I kiss you?"

This time, Wu Ming didn't refuse. He lowered his head and kissed her.

Lin Lu was completely absorbed in her first kiss.

Meanwhile, in the council chamber, the managers of Deer Castle were still in a daze.

In the corner, a handsome man in black leather armor lowered his head, his face full of disappointment.

His name is Zhang Chen. He is the defense captain of Luming Fort and one of the earliest people to follow Lin Lu.

Lin Lu's most capable assistant.

More importantly, he had been secretly in love with Lin Lu for over a year.

The burly man next to him patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I know you really like Big Sister. There are many men in the fort who like her, and quite a few have confessed their feelings to her."

"However, the eldest sister said from the beginning that she had a man she deeply loved. Now that the man she loves has appeared, we should congratulate her."

Zhang Chen remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "I know. I'm just worried about the future of Deer Cry Fortress. Didn't you hear Big Sister call him 'Brother Wu Ming'?"

"The 'Ming' in Deer Cry Castle... that must be him, right? Maybe the Big Sister will directly hand over management of Deer Cry Castle to him. This Deer Cry Castle is the Big Sister's life's work..."

The burly man said seriously, "So what! Without Big Sister, there would be no Deer Cry Castle, and we wouldn't be where we are today. It's Big Sister's freedom to decide who to hand over Deer Cry Castle to."

"We've all survived this long thanks to our leader's protection and guidance. Now that she has found her own happiness, we should support her, not question her! Our leader can do whatever she wants, and we should support her!"

The people around nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, without our leader, we might be dead already!"

"I still remember being trapped in the cellar, almost dying of thirst and hunger, and it was the eldest sister who saved me! So I unconditionally support any decision she makes!"

"Same here! It was the eldest sister who gave me hope..."

......

As Wu Ming and Lin Lu prepared to return to the council hall.

Because Wu Ming had exceptional hearing, he happened to overhear the last few words spoken by everyone in the council chamber.

Wu Ming couldn't help but glance at Lin Lu beside him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This little sister who once followed behind him has now become the support of more than 5,000 people and has gained such unwavering loyalty.

This made it impossible for him to connect the woman in front of him with the girl in his memory.

Lin Lu's hearing was not as good as Wu Ming's, and she did not hear her subordinates' discussion clearly.

She simply held Wu Ming's arm happily, her eyes seemingly filled with honey, her gaze fixed on him, unwilling to leave him for even a moment.

The guards they encountered along the way were all dumbfounded when they saw Lin Lu in this state.

They had never seen the eldest sister show such a girlish expression!

As they entered the conference room, Lin Lu still clung tightly to Wu Ming's arm.

She didn't let go, and solemnly announced to all the managers present: "This is my husband, Wu Ming. From today onwards, all affairs of Luming Fort will be handled according to his arrangements."

Most people didn't see anything unusual about it.

Clearly, they were mentally prepared and accepted the decision.

But Zhang Chen stood up and said seriously, "Big Sister, all 5,465 people in Deer Cry Fortress depend on your leadership. A single order could determine the safety of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. Please think carefully."

These words immediately provoked dissatisfaction from others, who spoke out in rebuttal:

"Zhang Chen, what do you mean?!"

"Without the Big Sister, there would be no Deer Cry Castle! The Big Sister's decisions are the decisions of Deer Cry Castle!"

"Do you doubt the eldest sister's judgment?!"

Zhang Chen ignored the accusations around him and just stared intently at Lin Lu, waiting for her response.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Lu's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Wu Ming gently pulled her back.

Wu Ming stepped forward, facing Zhang Chen directly.

He sensed the dissatisfaction in the other person's words, but things were different now.

He is no longer the naive police academy student he once was.

Wu Ming revealed a composed smile and said proudly, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Ming, I am one of the councilors of the Supreme Command of the Huaxia Revival Army, and also the commander of the First Army of Revival, currently in charge of the war in southern Hunan and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions."

He surveyed everyone present, his tone calm yet powerful: "The First Army, with nearly 40,000 men, has entered the territory of Dongguang. The closest contingent is the First Brigade of the First Army, which has already recaptured Sanqing County, eight kilometers away."

As Wu Ming began to speak, the conference room gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
