Chapter 244



The advance party that carried out the night operation retreated to the camp to rest.

The second echelon, having rested all night and now full of energy, had already donned their armor, equipped themselves with weapons, and were ready to go.

News from the front lines had already been sent back.

The people in the camp heard that the first echelon's nighttime operation had been a great success.

Having already breached the walls of the Fox Kingdom, all they need to do now is advance unimpeded, conquering city after city until they reach the Fox Kingdom's capital.

The soldiers in the South are now in extremely high spirits.

Upon seeing Gu Mu return, he immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty! I heard that you single-handedly charged into the enemy ranks, fighting your way in and out seven times, not only opening the city gates wide but also killing the Fox Kingdom's general with a single spear thrust! With such a Your Majesty, how can we not enhance our nation's prestige!"

"Uphold our national prestige!"

"Uphold our national prestige!"

After hearing this, the soldiers in the Southern Camp shouted excitedly.

"Are you afraid of death?" Gu Mu asked in a deep voice.

"We're not afraid! What we fear is that our country will suffer humiliation and our loved ones will not be able to live a good life!" a soldier immediately replied.

Their faces shone with determination.

Some of these soldiers were originally from the Eagle Kingdom, who were recruited by Gu Mu after surrendering.

After they surrendered to the Southern Kingdom, their relatives also became subjects of the Southern Kingdom.

They now have the authority to purchase the magical loom.

From then on, the women in the family began to make a living by producing cloth.

Because the cloth produced by the magical loom was better than ordinary cloth, they had no trouble selling it. They sold the cloth to their own merchants, who then used trade routes to transport it to other countries.

With an additional means of making a living, the living standards of every household began to improve in a short period of time.

The amazing loom is easy to operate, even elderly women can operate it. Originally, those elderly people could no longer go out to do farm work, and they still had to feed more people. Not only that, they also caught colds from time to time and needed to go to the pharmacy to get medicine.

But now, even the elderly can easily produce cloth at home. Thanks to the efficiency of the magical loom, they can produce hundreds of times more cloth in a day than an ordinary loom.

In this way, what was originally a burden on the family becomes a source of productivity for the family.

Those former British soldiers, who were returning home from the military camp to visit their families, were not immediately aware of what was happening.

The original thatched house, which was bare and dilapidated, was renovated and rebuilt into a stone house at some point.

We've added some new furniture to the house.

The children in the family are also wearing clean new clothes, no longer the ill-fitting, ripped clothes.

It turns out that every winter, the children's faces would turn red from the cold, and their little hands would be covered in chilblains.

Despite this, she still had to busy herself with farm work at home.

However, when they returned home, they saw that although it was winter, the children were returning from the private school with their little schoolbags on their backs.

They never imagined that one day their children would be able to go to school.

Furthermore, the children, dressed in thick clothes, looked more energetic than before, and began to quote ancient poems when they spoke, making them sound quite knowledgeable.

Even the elderly in the family don't always have the money to buy medicine when they get sick. Sometimes, they can only tough it out. But the elderly are not in good health to begin with, and they may spend the whole winter coughing.

However, at this very moment, a bitter medicinal soup was simmering in the kitchen all night.

When the herbal medicine is served, a piece of candy can be added to it.

Perhaps this winter, sitting by the fireplace, the elderly person's clothes are warmer, and they actually look healthier.

If we say that those soldiers before,

There will also be some psychological burden of treason.

But seeing all these changes in my home, and all these changes in my neighborhood.

Those burdens disappeared as well.

Didn't they fight for the Eagle Kingdom before for the sake of the common people of the world?

They feared that after the country fell, these ordinary people would be displaced and become servants or laborers, bought and sold everywhere.

But now, these people are living better lives.

Even more subtly, a sense of destiny arose in the hearts of those soldiers: "Perhaps this world should have belonged to Gu Mu, because only under the rule of His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom can the people of this world live better and better lives."

It was not His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom who conquered their original country.

Instead, His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom chose to allow the original people of their country to live better lives.

Thinking of those scenes, the soldiers in the camp looked at His Majesty with unwavering loyalty: "Even if we die in battle, we will have no regrets! If our deaths can bring a better life to the people of the world, we are willing to accept it without regret!"

Gu Mu then revealed a satisfied smile.

There is a modern principle called the "leader effect".

How a leader acts often influences those below to follow suit.

The more valiant and fearless Gu Mu appeared, the higher the morale of his soldiers became.

Soldiers with high morale are more courageous on the battlefield and more likely to win battles.

The more victories a soldier wins, the more confident he becomes, creating a positive cycle in morale.

"Don't give the Fox Kingdom a chance to breathe. I'll be waiting for your return," Gu Mu said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Shen Ci led his soldiers toward the Fox Kingdom.

The relentless night battles meant that even when the soldiers of Qi realized they had been tricked and sent troops to support Hu, it was too late.

By the time the soldiers of Qi Kingdom arrive in Hu Kingdom, the soldiers of Nan Kingdom will probably have already reached the capital of Hu Kingdom.

This battle must be won quickly.

Just as the first wave of troops attacking the city at night was about to sit down and rest,

The logistics staff then came over carrying large buckets of medicine.

It turned out that while the first wave of soldiers were attacking the city, these logistics personnel did not rest. Instead, under Su Linle's instructions, they brewed these large barrels of medicine.

The camp doctors would apply the medicine from the buckets to the wounds before preparing to bandage them.

The soldiers were confused. Based on past experience, and given that it was the middle of summer, these wounds would definitely need to be disinfected with alcohol.

They took out a bucket of wine and were about to pour it onto the wound.

Because alcohol is very stimulating, they instinctively closed their eyes when they were about to pour it out.

Unexpectedly, the doctors stopped him from doing so.

"Don't you want to disinfect?" the soldier asked, puzzled.

"It's healed completely," the doctors said with a smile. "This was developed by Doctor Su based on a prescription given by His Majesty. It can replace alcohol for disinfection, and its effect is similar, but it's much gentler, thus promoting wound healing."

The soldiers were just beginning to feel the medicine that had been applied to their wounds.

If it were alcohol poured on them, they'd probably be grimacing in pain right now.

But now, I don't feel anything special at all.
