Chapter 205 Beacon Fire



Su Linle sighed and quietly went around to the other side of the garden.

Liking someone is both sweet and bittersweet.

...

The day to wage war against the Eagle Nation has finally arrived.

Gu Mu also realized his long-held dream—to carry the Queen on an excavator.

In any case, having two big machines, excavators and bulldozers, can actually be put to unexpected use in wartime.

For example, when the opposing team gathers together to prepare for defense, Gu Mu can simply drive his excavator over and crush several of them.

The assassin followed behind Gu Mu alone in his bulldozer.

"Your Majesty, this machine is so tall..." Shen Ling sat in the passenger seat of the excavator, looking down curiously out the window.

The excavator was much taller than the carriage, and it was the first time Chen Ling had ever sat so high up and watched the moving scenery, so she couldn't help but feel excited.

The higher you go, the better the view seems to be.

In the past, when you rode in a horse-drawn carriage, all you could see from the window were tree trunks.

But now, I can see the flowers on the trees by the roadside.

This was also because the trade routes in the south had been repaired, and the excavators were able to move freely along the way, with smooth roads and easy passage.

Only by sitting inside can one better appreciate the scenery.

"Your Majesty, what are you holding in your hands?" Shen Ling asked curiously, looking at Gu Mu as he manipulated the steering wheel.

In Gu Mu's previous life, even children wouldn't ask such a question, because it was commonplace for them.

But for people of this era, it was the first time they had seen something so strange, so it was natural to be curious.

Gu Mu smiled. It was rare to see Shen Ling so bewildered; she was simply too adorable.

He explained, "This is called a steering wheel. We control which direction our car goes by manipulating this steering wheel."

As he spoke, Gu Mu gave a demonstration.

The next second, he saw a look of amazement, "So that's how it is," in Shen Ling's eyes.

"Ling'er, would you like to try driving the car?" Gu Mu asked.

He saw the look of curiosity and a desire to study in Shen Ling's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I... am I alright?" This was the first time Gu Mu had seen a look of insecurity on Shen Ling's face.

Shen Ling hesitated and said, "It's too big. I'm afraid it won't listen to me."

"You'll see once you try it; it will definitely listen to you."

"Then... I'll give it a try..."

Suppressing her excitement, Shen Ling spoke softly.

But now, one of them is sitting in the driver's seat and the other is sitting in the passenger seat.

Moreover, the interior space of the car is only so big.

Although it doesn't feel crowded with two people sitting there.

However, it is definitely not a space where two people can easily switch places.

At that moment, neither of them considered opening the door and going around to the outside.

Gu Mu unbuckled his seatbelt, placed one hand on Shen Ling's other waist, and turned slightly.

The two of them were in a somewhat ambiguous position at that moment.

"I'm going now," Gu Mu said softly.

Shen Ling blushed and nodded gently.

Then Gu Mu moved his body closer to Chen Ling again.

Because of the confined space, Gu Mu's current position was essentially lying on top of Shen Ling.

Shen Ling's earlobes immediately turned red.

"Your Majesty...I...may I go over there?" Shen Ling asked softly.

"Mm." Gu Mu nodded.

Shen Ling then carefully moved her body to the other side.

During this time, she inevitably had a lot of intimate physical contact with Gu Mu.

Both of them were blushing and their hearts were pounding.

With great difficulty, Shen Ling finally moved to the driver's seat and gripped the steering wheel.

Shen Ling is very intelligent. After Gu Mu taught her a little, she understood how to use the excavator.

An excavator and a bulldozer were clearing the way ahead.

Behind them followed countless carriages and thousands of troops.

They marched in a grand procession toward the United States, washing away the shame of the past.

eagle country,

frontier.

The guards of the Eagle Kingdom responsible for protecting the border watched as the Southern Kingdom soldiers marched in a grand procession towards the Eagle Kingdom.

His expression changed drastically: "Quickly, light the signal fires!"

One of the soldiers' expressions changed drastically: "What are those two enormous things in front of them?"

Because of the great distance, they could only see two enormous creatures leading the way.

They knew that the Hidden City in the South had protected them and that they had obtained many treasures there; it seemed that these treasures also came from the Hidden City.

"They're quite far from us now, it'll probably take another day and night for them to arrive!" Their sentry post is situated at a high vantage point, giving them a wide field of vision. "In the meantime, our reinforcements will arrive and can hold out for a while, but first, let's send a message to His Majesty by carrier pigeon!"

Meanwhile, the people of the South and their soldiers, who were on their way, were all marching with high spirits and great courage.

They have never forgotten the humiliation of the past, and they have been waiting for this day for a long time.

They have a ruler who could be revered as a god of war, and who has never been defeated in so many wars.

With such a spiritual pillar paving the way, the morale of the South was exceptionally high.

......

At this very moment, the monarch of the Eagle Kingdom is in a state of utter distress.

"Have you made contact with the Lord of Hidden City?" the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom asked the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom.

The Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom shook his head: "I used a lot of money to bribe experts from other countries to inquire about the location of the City Lord of Hidden City. However, the City Lord of Hidden City has not appeared since the last time he appeared in Hidden City."

With a sigh, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom continued, "It's a pity our people can't enter the Hidden City, which makes our operations much more difficult. Fortunately, I'm willing to use money to pave the way, and now the news that our Eagle Kingdom wants to sue for peace with the Hidden City has spread throughout the city..."

"However...however..." The Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom seemed to find it difficult to speak at this point.

"Continue!" the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom said coldly.

"Although the news has spread, it's mostly been met with ridicule. If Hidden City has a hierarchy, then we Eagles are among the lowest-ranking people there..." The Eagle Prime Minister said with a worried expression, "In this situation, in my humble opinion, the hope of making peace is slim."

"We need to prepare well for the war in the Southern Kingdom, since no one knows to what extent the Hidden City Lord will help the Southern Kingdom." The Eagle Kingdom Emperor's voice suddenly sounded much older.

At this moment, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom made another suggestion: "Although the Lord of Hidden City has a lot of opinions about our Eagle Kingdom, it is very likely that this is related to our previous war against the Southern Kingdom. You should know that the interests of the Lord of Hidden City are tied to the Southern Kingdom and the life of the Southern Kingdom's Emperor. Unless the Lord of Hidden City kills Gu Mu with his own hands, this link of interests will not disappear."

The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You mean, this war is actually an opportunity for us? An opportunity to capture the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom alive?"

The Prime Minister and Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom exchanged a glance and both smiled: "As long as we capture the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom alive and let the Lord of Hidden City kill him with his own hands, then we will have done a favor for the Lord of Hidden City. Why would we be afraid that the Lord of Hidden City will not support our Eagle Kingdom in the future?"
