"Your Majesty, why are you suddenly saying these things..." After responding, Shen Ling suddenly realized that she might have been too blunt, and said with some embarrassment.
But I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.
I am exceptionally happy.
"I feel so embarrassed," Shen Ling said softly, burying her head in Gu Mu's arms.
"Of course... it's because Ling'er is so cute, so I couldn't help but confess my feelings," Gu Mu said with a smile.
This is certainly one of the reasons.
More importantly, it made Su Lin, who was not far away, give up on his dream.
He only needs Ling'er.
Nothing else is needed.
He recalled a past life from a fragment of his memory, where he lay in the arms of a girl who looked remarkably like Ling'er.
The single tear that fell gently from the girl's eye landed squarely on his face.
If... the girl shares the same thought as Shen Ling, that is, she is willing to live and die with Gu Mu,
After that, the girl became an enemy of the whole world, was imprisoned, and eventually sent to this female-oriented novel world...
She must be doing this to avenge herself.
He faces the world alone, all for the sake of avenging his deceased lover.
That must have been a truly desperate state of mind.
Gu Mu felt that his feelings for Shen Ling were not only love, but also responsibility.
Therefore, he will definitely protect Shen Ling and not let her suffer even the slightest harm.
That night, after the assassination attempt, all was well.
Gu Mu opened his eyes and found that Shen Ling had already woken up and was lying next to him, quietly staring at him.
Shen Ling's eyes were filled with contentment and happiness.
Even on the battlefield, as long as Gu Mu is by his side, that's enough.
Gu Mu patted her head: "Get up, we need to get ready to leave."
Gu Mu's expression was indifferent.
Shen Ling nodded firmly.
They knew that this journey was a matter of life and death.
Even if they survive, many soldiers will die.
War is always cruel.
But... only by using this war to deter other countries can the Southern Kingdom have time to continue its steady development.
Daylight broke.
The soldiers of the Southern Kingdom were fully prepared and pressed towards the territory of the Eagle Kingdom.
The South has always been in a position of being invaded.
This is the first time they have had the confidence to retaliate, and against a country stronger than themselves.
The people of the Eagle Kingdom had already built a wall on their border. To invade the Eagle Kingdom, one must first break through their border defenses.
The people of the Eagle Kingdom, standing atop the city walls, held a strategic geographical advantage, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"When they get close, fire the arrows!" said the general from the Eagle Kingdom.
"Yes!" The people of the Eagle Kingdom obeyed the order, then raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at the distance.
Gu Mu knew that if they forced their way through, many soldiers from the Southern Kingdom would be sacrificed.
Their soldiers were only half the number of those in the United States. If they made too many sacrifices here, the war would be much harder to fight. Besides, every life is precious.
"You all stop here for now. I'll go and make an opening, then you can push forward," Gu Mu ordered the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Does His Majesty mean he wants to go alone?
Even though they knew His Majesty was very strong, could one person face an army of thousands?
They could already see the enemy archers standing on the city wall from a distance.
If it weren't for the distance, those archers would have been wasting arrows by now, and they would probably be turned into hedgehogs by now.
Moreover, how could His Majesty possibly create an opening by himself?
"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. Let's attack together. We'll be able to break through their defenses and reach the city walls. Once we get to the walls, we'll have a significant advantage, as only a portion of the Eagle Kingdom's reinforcements have arrived." General Meng, who seemed carefree, was actually quite shrewd and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Gu Mu glanced back at the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom.
These are people who are willing to risk their lives for their country.
“However, if we all go together, many people will be sacrificed,” Gu Mu said coldly.
"But... Your Majesty, you are our pillar of strength. Even if we sacrifice ourselves, we don't want anything to happen to you!" General Meng continued to persuade him.
"That's right! Your Majesty, we would rather sacrifice ourselves than have anything happen to you!" Soon, the soldiers behind him all echoed.
"War will inevitably involve bloodshed and sacrifice, but I hope your sacrifices will not be in vain!" Gu Mu said coldly. "I will do my best to protect your safety."
Gu Mu patted General Meng on the shoulder: "Trust me."
"This..." General Meng wanted to persuade him further.
But Gu Mu is, after all, His Majesty.
No matter how worried he was about His Majesty's safety, he was ultimately just a subject.
"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, I humbly request to accompany Your Majesty!" General Meng said solemnly.
“If you go, I’ll have to protect you. Forget it.” Gu Mu gave General Meng a reassuring look, then jumped onto the excavator.
Behind her, Shen Ling clenched her fists tightly as she watched Gu Mu get into the excavator.
Although Gu Mu had already mentally prepared her for all of this.
but……
She could only try her best to restrain herself and not stop Gu Mu's actions.
Deep down, I'm still very worried.
"Your Majesty, you must come back alive." Shen Ling thought silently in her heart with red eyes: "Otherwise, I will commit suicide in front of your corpse... It would be to fulfill my wish to live and die with you."
As Gu Mu finally got into the excavator and was about to close the door, he turned around, gave Shen Ling a smile, and gave her a reassuring look.
