Because of the presence of excavators and bulldozers
In addition, the Southern Kingdom was a small country with a narrow territory.
The trade route was constructed smoothly.
When the trade route was completed, Gu Mu also obtained 200 political achievements points as he wished.
Looking at the extra 200 points, he now has a total of 266 points, which is definitely not enough to consume Chaos Essence.
During this period, the soldiers had basically completed their basic and advanced training and were ready to be deployed to the battlefield.
War is imminent.
Gu Mu's current strength is already quite formidable.
They are not afraid even when facing the battlefield.
That would be better than using 200 points to try and draw a firearm, and then using the remaining 66 points to exchange for two Resurrection Pills, just in case on the battlefield.
Gu Mu chose the weapons category.
I spent 100 points.
Unfortunately, there's no option for "firearms," so now it's all down to luck.
After all, if it's firearms, whatever you draw will obviously be quite useful in this era, and the system clearly understands this as well, hence the weapon option.
[Congratulations, host, for drawing a spear.]
Gu Mu looked at his inventory and saw a spear that could be found anywhere.
I took it out of my inventory, held it in my hand for a moment, and came to a conclusion—
This spear not only looks ordinary, but it is actually quite ordinary.
Spend 100 points to get an ordinary spear.
We've lost a fortune.
However, Gu Mu was not giving up. After all, he had already spent 100 points, so he didn't mind spending another 100 points.
-100 points.
[Congratulations, host, you have drawn a hand grenade]
Gu Mu looked at the grenade with a surprised expression.
Actually, I was quite lucky; I actually drew a firearm.
If we disregard the spear, I used about 200 points to draw a grenade.
Gu Mu suddenly felt that he hadn't lost out so much.
With firearms, Gu Mu felt more confident about this war.
Furthermore, martial arts practitioners from not only the Southern Kingdom but also other countries joined in to earn contribution points for the Hidden City, accepting the second mission.
After all, the martial arts world and the imperial court have always been separate entities. Only someone like Gu Mu, who possesses a hidden city, can manipulate people in the martial arts world through temptation.
No other country's court has this power.
The conflicts between nations are something the martial arts world simply doesn't want to get involved in.
Their assistance to the Southern Kingdom in attacking the Eagle Kingdom only represents their own stance.
Besides martial arts practitioners from other countries, there were also some wealthy and powerful individuals who kept recruiting people into the Hidden City to become temporary residents. In exchange, they could only receive 100 contribution points upon completion of the mission, and all the tokens they obtained from the people they killed had to be handed over.
Using this method, the number of temporary residents in the hidden city suddenly surged.
The number of people available to take on the mission reached a staggering 50,000.
This is equivalent to half of the Southern Kingdom's military strength.
Meanwhile, half of the soldiers in the southern army camps were selected and made to learn the Sunflower Manual.
As for their partners, their reasons for enlisting were not only to serve their country, but also for their own selfish interests.
While Gu Mu doesn't deny their attitude of sacrificing themselves for the country, it's clear that such people would likely choose to betray the secret manual if faced with other interests.
Out of caution, Gu Mu did not choose to let them learn the Sunflower Manual.
However, during battles, Gu Mu would arrange them in the back row to prevent them from charging into battle, since everyone's life is precious.
As for the 50,000 people who learned the Sunflower Manual, Gu Mu tested their strength. On average, each of them could fight three people at once. In addition, there were powerful martial arts practitioners. In terms of military strength, although the Southern Kingdom was smaller, it was not inferior to the Eagle Kingdom.
Gu Mu was confident that he could use a mere 150,000 men to attack the 300,000-strong army of the Eagle Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I wish to accompany you." As time passed, Shen Ling knew that the day Gu Mu would wage war against the Eagle Kingdom was drawing ever closer.
Although she was very reluctant for Gu Mu to take the risk, she fully supported his decision.
After all, when the Eagle Kingdom attacked the Southern Kingdom before, many people in the Southern Kingdom were separated from their families.
If the Lord of Hidden City hadn't brought in reinforcements, the Southern Kingdom would probably no longer exist.
No one with any sense of decency could tolerate such humiliation!
"Your Majesty's safety is a concern, and I wish to stay with you to take care of you!" Shen Ling said anxiously. She didn't want to stay in the palace waiting for Gu Mu's good news... or news that she didn't want to face.
This kind of waiting must be unbearable every second; it's better to live and die with His Majesty!
Gu Mu stroked Chen Ling's hair: "I am going to war this time, and I may not be able to protect your safety. I also hope that you can be safe and sound. The battlefield is never safe."
Gu Mu really wanted Shen Ling to stay in the capital, in the inner palace, so that he could feel at ease.
However, he would not force Shen Ling.
Because he knew that Shen Ling was an independent individual, just like himself, with things she would risk everything for and things worth taking risks for.
Therefore, if Shen Ling insists on going, he will respect Shen Ling's decision.
Sure enough, Shen Ling looked at Gu Mu seriously and said softly, "Your Majesty, I will not hold you back! Although my martial arts skills are not the best, they are enough to rank me among the masters. Moreover, I am most skilled in some extraordinary techniques, which can play an important role at crucial moments!"
Shen Ling was telling the truth.
She's not the kind of silly, all-around good-looking girl who only holds others back.
