Gu Mu marched straight in and finally reached the royal palace of the Eagle Kingdom.
It's as if history is repeating itself.
This time, however, it is the Eagle Kingdom that is on the verge of extinction.
Last time, Gu Mu saved the South by relying on endless hybrid rice and borrowing soldiers from other countries.
This time, however, no country was willing to support the United States.
Back when Gu Mu was about to reach the Eagle Kingdom's palace, the Eagle Kingdom's monarch sent someone to ask Jianghu for help.
After all, a martial arts master is worth a hundred soldiers.
However, the martial arts figures from the Eagle Kingdom smiled and refused his request, saying, "The Eagle Kingdom has been destroyed. What does that have to do with us? Oh, no, it does have something to do with us. After all, the Eagle Kingdom has been destroyed, so we've become Southerners. In the future, when we go to the Hidden City, we won't be stopped at the gate!"
Not stabbing someone in the back is already the greatest mercy a person in the martial arts world of the United States could show.
Looking at the 1000 points he had quickly accumulated in this battle, Gu Mu smiled happily.
He dismounted and walked towards the main hall of the Eagle Kingdom.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom knew that the situation was hopeless.
He lingered on the throne in the main hall, reluctant to leave.
It seems he wanted to hold onto his last bit of glory and take it with him to the underworld.
Of those officials, some were dead, some had surrendered, and now only a handful remained, protecting him.
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom shouted in a fit of rage as Gu Mu approached step by step.
Not all emperors possessed Gu Mu's exceptional skills.
The few remaining officials all stood in front of the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom, shouting, "Your Majesty, escape! We'll buy you time!"
Even if the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom is not good, those officials have been educated from childhood to be loyal to their country.
At this moment, they displayed their extraordinary awareness, willing to die rather than abandon the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom.
But the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom remained seated on his throne, refusing to descend. Suddenly, he choked up and said, "Escape? Where can I escape to? The people of the Southern Kingdom are all around me! How can you be so useless? My great Eagle Kingdom cannot even stop a mere little Southern Kingdom?"
"Useless! You are all useless!" the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom cried out in despair.
The officials all lowered their heads, their faces filled with shame.
Gu Mu slowly approached, and only stopped after they were a certain distance apart.
He looked at the terrified expressions on the faces of the people in front of him as he approached.
Gu Mu then revealed a nonchalant smile: "It's your incompetence in governing the country that's causing this; why shift the blame to others?"
"As an emperor, one should take responsibility for making everyone's life better, instead of swaggering around and being arrogant."
Blood was dripping from Gu Mu's spear.
The soldiers behind him, however, couldn't tell from Gu Mu's words that he was just putting on a show, trying to see if he could win over the people.
To the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom, His Majesty's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Because Your Majesty thinks this way, you will be at the forefront in war, and in the construction of the country, the lives of the people of the Southern Kingdom will improve day by day after Your Majesty ascends the throne!
The loyal ministers of the Eagle Kingdom also suddenly raised their eyes and looked at Gu Mu with an expression of amazement.
It was as if Gu Mu's words had unlocked their potential.
They never imagined that the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom could make any mistakes.
The education they received... was that the emperor's words were the will of Heaven, and the emperor was always right.
These words, coming from the mouth of the Southern Emperor, could not help but astonish them.
However, decades of brainwashing cannot be reversed with just a few words from Gu Mu.
They remained steadfast in their loyalty to the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom, serving the Eagle Kingdom in life and in death.
Therefore, Gu Mu did not increase his political achievements as he had expected.
—Anyway, the performance score will increase, but it'll probably only be a little bit of points.
It would be better to kill someone.
"Since you won't step aside, it means you're unwilling to serve my Southern Kingdom." Gu Mu said coldly, "Although I admire your courage in the face of death, you've chosen the wrong side."
Gu Mu raised his spear and pierced the throat of one of the men.
Gu Mu was willing to let those he admired die a quick and painless death, killing them with a single blow.
The others fell to Gu Mu's hands almost instantly.
In the end, only the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom remained, sitting alone on his throne, with several corpses at his feet.
"You...you stay away..." The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom shrank back behind his throne.
"Even if I die on this throne, even if I go to the underworld, I will still be the emperor!" The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom looked at the spear in Gu Mu's hand with fear and trepidation.
As if seeking psychological comfort before death, he clung tightly to the handle of the throne.
But this attempt at psychological comfort seems utterly ridiculous.
In Gu Mu's view, it was like a comical, drenched chicken flapping its wings—which couldn't possibly take flight—right under the wolf's nose.
“If you kill me now… once I descend to the underworld and become emperor, accumulating power, you will die sooner or later. After you die, you will be in the underworld with me, and I will not let you have an easy time.”
"Really?" Gu Mu couldn't help but laugh as he watched the Eagle Kingdom's emperor's comical performance.
He raised the hand holding the spear.
Then they saw the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom shudder instantly, and an unknown liquid flowed from his crotch.
A foul odor instantly filled the hall.
A dignified emperor was so frightened that he wet his pants.
Immediately, the Southern soldiers behind Gu Mu showed disdain—their Southern Emperor was much better. Even when charging at the forefront to kill the enemy, he showed no fear whatsoever. In fact, when they wanted to protect His Majesty, His Majesty firmly refused.
