Gu Mu knew that Su Linle hadn't gone far and could still hear his conversation with Shen Ling inside the tent, so he reached out and stroked Shen Ling's hair, smiling as he said, "Although I allow you to go to the battlefield, you are not allowed to get hurt, understand? Even if there are a hundred enemies, in my eyes, none of them are as important as your life."
Shen Ling smiled and nodded.
What I was thinking was—Your Majesty underestimates me.
Su Linle, who was leaving the tent, heard Gu Mu's words and her face immediately darkened—if only His Majesty had said these words to her.
Gu Mu had a bit of a headache—right now he just wanted to have a peaceful relationship with Shen Ling. After all, female characters in female-oriented novels weren't as easy to manage as male-oriented novels, where male characters could have multiple wives and concubines.
Even though they were forced by the ancient system to allow their husbands to have multiple wives and concubines on the surface, they would secretly sabotage them, such as poisoning their husbands' children with other women...
He and Su Linle are currently only in a ruler-subject relationship, yet Su Linle has already colluded with Shen Chao in order to get him.
It's hard to guarantee that Su Linle won't develop any unwarranted hopes and take even more outrageous actions.
Gu Mu is keeping Su Linle around because her medical skills are truly outstanding, unmatched in the entire Southern Kingdom. Back when Gu Mu only received penicillin from the system, Su Linle's medical expertise and talent were enough to drive the development of medicine in the entire Southern Kingdom.
Since Su Linle is a capable person, keeping her alive is more valuable than killing her.
Gu Mu wanted to nip her in the bud and prevent her from having any inappropriate thoughts.
Su Linle returned to the tent.
Although she was just stabbed by the person she deeply loved,
But her eyes were still bright and sparkling—she had endured so many years, and now, at least she had some more interaction with His Majesty.
Therefore, all the patience and effort are worthwhile.
You'll see how good I am, won't you, Your Majesty?
Su Linle asked softly in her heart.
...
The battlefield on the second day,
Shen Ling and Gu Mu rode side by side on their horses, heading straight for the front lines of the battlefield.
There was no fear in her eyes.
With her ethereal beauty, she appeared even more heroic as she rode on horseback.
At this time, the walls of the Eagle Kingdom had already been breached.
The soldiers from the south marched straight in.
Gu Mu rode on horseback, holding a long spear.
His unparalleled marksmanship was his greatest weapon on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, you and the Empress are the foundation of the nation. Let us be at the forefront!"
"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous ahead. Please let us lead the way and clear a bloody path for you!"
A soldier watched Gu Mu and Shen Ling, who were both charging at the forefront, which was also the most dangerous place, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Being at the very front undoubtedly drew the most enemy fire.
They had never seen a monarch ever lead the charge...
At the very least, shouldn't it be these soldiers, who are destined to become cannon fodder on the battlefield, who go first?
But Gu Mu raised his spear, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Now that I am on this battlefield, what do I have to fear about life and death?!"
"drive!"
Gu Mu steered his horse at full speed and continued charging forward.
Although it was just a short sentence, the soldiers behind him were deeply moved.
[Performance score +1]
Although his performance score only increased by a little, it was a small step for him, but a giant leap for him.
Although Gu Mu's eyes were resolute, and he appeared righteous and awe-inspiring—
What I really thought was that being at the very front made it easier to collect points.
With more points, he can exchange them for the Resurrection Pill.
Therefore, what seems dangerous often presents greater opportunities.
Furthermore, Gu Mu's move was very effective in winning over the hearts of the people. As their support gradually accumulated, Gu Mu eventually became the undisputed faith of the Southern Kingdom.
At that time, no matter what measures he introduces or what new policies he advocates, he will encounter much less resistance.
...
They stormed into a relatively large city in the Eagle Kingdom.
At this moment,
The soldiers from the South, led by Gu Mu, have already breached the city walls.
They were like the Grim Reaper, riding their horses through the streets in the trembling eyes of the people of the Eagle Nation.
An old woman covered her child's eyes, and she herself lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the southern soldiers.
Although the South is fighting for justice and to wash away past humiliations.
Ultimately, these people are innocent.
To the innocent civilians, the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom were like death gods who could arbitrarily control their lives and deaths.
They were fearful, trembling...
But their soldiers were defeated. They had no guns and no martial arts skills, so they were like lambs to the slaughter.
If soldiers from the South raise their swords, they may very well be separated from their loved ones by death or reunited in the underworld.
"Mother... I'm scared..." the child, whose eyes were covered by the old woman, said in a tearful voice.
The old woman was also very scared, but she suppressed her fear and whispered to the child, "Little Bao, don't cry, don't attract their attention..."
“We’ll wait and then, when they’re not paying attention to us, we’ll sneak home…” the old woman comforted her.
"Mother...can we still go home? They'll definitely kill us..." Xiao Bao tried hard not to cry out, but his voice was clearly filled with fear: "I heard that it was our Eagle Kingdom soldiers who attacked the Southern Kingdom first. At that time, our Eagle Kingdom soldiers killed many people from the Southern Kingdom. They've come for revenge, and they definitely won't let us go..."
At this moment, soldiers from the south raised their guns and plunged them into the city, striking the chests of the last few soldiers who were putting up a stubborn resistance.
Watching the blood splatter from the once-living soldier's body, and then the soldier falling to the ground with his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.
"Your Majesty, their main force retreated when they realized they couldn't win. They should have rejoined the reinforcements later, but the Eagle Kingdom's main force left them behind to hold off our soldiers. Now they've all been killed. What should we do with these civilians?"
General Meng asked from the side.
He glanced at the trembling people.
There was no extra emotion in his eyes.
Not long ago, he experienced the invasion of the Southern Kingdom by the Eagle Kingdom.
At that time, the people of the South were just as helpless and panicked.
However, the soldiers of the Eagle Kingdom, in order to demonstrate their strength and victory, also carried out a large-scale massacre of innocent civilians.
This is one of the reasons why the people of the Southern Kingdom responded so enthusiastically when Gu Mu wanted to fight back.
For revenge.
Gu Mu took a deep look at the soldiers.
They had nowhere to run, but they could still tell which was faster, a two-legged horse or a four-legged horse.
Even if they ran home, the soldiers from the South would still kill them, and they still wouldn't be able to escape.
Now, the soldiers from the South are telling them not to move, because if they dare to move, they'll probably be the first to die.
When Gu Mu looked at them, they all looked at him with helpless eyes.
