After whittling down the Qi Kingdom's soldiers, the Southern Kingdom's soldiers chose to take the initiative and launch an attack.
To catch the thief, first catch the king; Gu Mu understood this principle very well.
He killed several henchmen who blocked his way and marched straight towards the general of Qi.
The general of Qi was somewhat arrogant, and when he saw Gu Mu coming over, his face lit up with joy.
If we capture His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom, wouldn't that be...?
So the general of Qi State went to greet him without any hesitation.
But... his spear clashed with Gu Mu's spear.
His spear, due to the force of the blow, split in two.
The Qi State General's hand was also numb from the shock, and he froze for a moment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Mu pierced his throat with his spear.
Gu Mu's speed is too fast.
The Qi Kingdom's general couldn't keep up with the movement with his eyes and body, and had no way to dodge.
No one could have imagined that the dignified General of Qi would only last one move against Gu Mu.
"His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom... he actually... he actually..."
"That's amazing!"
The soldiers of Qi were all dumbfounded.
But Gu Mu didn't wait for them to be stunned. After killing the Qi State's general, he turned his attention to attacking the others.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Gu Mu said coldly, his voice infused with internal force.
And at this very moment.
A huge uproar was also stirred up in the hidden city.
They all looked at the taskbar; on the third line, against a gold background, there was an extra line of text.
[Slay a member of the Qi Kingdom royal family! Reward! The closer your relationship with the emperor, the higher the reward. Anyone who succeeds in the kill will receive a treasure from the wooden crate in front of them, as well as 100 contribution points from the Hidden City.]
At the same time, another wooden box appeared in front of the taskbar.
Everyone knew that the reward from the Hidden City Lord contained in this wooden box must be extraordinary.
What's more, there are also 100 contribution points!
It's just killing someone.
In an instant, all the martial arts practitioners in the hidden city were in an uproar.
One by one, they all flocked to the State of Qi.
In addition to martial arts practitioners from the Southern Kingdom, people from many other countries have also gathered in the Hidden City as its fame has grown, including those from the Qi Kingdom.
Several martial arts figures from the Qi Kingdom had maintained good relations with the imperial court.
He frowned upon seeing this task.
Everyone knows that the Lord of Hidden City has a connection with the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. Currently, the Qi Kingdom is at war with the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, and an order to kill the Qi Kingdom's royal family has appeared on Hidden City's mission board.
This is intended to completely eliminate the royal family of Qi, leaving no one to inherit the throne and causing internal strife.
Once internal strife erupts, coupled with the covetous gaze of the southern kingdoms...
It seems that it won't take much effort for the Southern Kingdom to take over the Qi Kingdom.
Those martial arts practitioners from Qi Kingdom quickly left the hidden city—they needed to inform the Qi Kingdom monarch of this news as soon as possible!
Because it was not attacked from both sides.
Gu Mu is currently in a more advantageous geographical position.
Even though the soldiers of Qi State came with great force, they were already leaderless.
When the moon is high in the sky
The battle is over.
Gu Mu used a cloth stained with blood to wipe the spear.
In the past few days, he has killed countless people.
All that is known is that his points have increased to 5000.
Among them are political achievements points for the people of the Fox Kingdom welcoming their arrival, and villainous points for Gu Mu's killings.
After cleaning his spear, he used 3000 points to refine two dragon scales.
One grew on his abdomen, and the other on his face.
It covered his entire face.
Now, his head, neck, heart, and abdomen are all protected by dragon scales.
Basically, it is not afraid of any physical attack.
Because as long as no one can kill him instantly, he can stand up again with the help of the Resurrection Pill.
Gu Mu walked into the wounded soldiers' camp.
Looking at General Meng and Shen Ci lying on the hospital bed.
These two didn't have the protagonist's halo after all. When the Eagle Kingdom attacked the Southern Kingdom, they almost lost their lives and were saved by the parchment scroll.
Now, because the war is so intense, many have been injured.
"How are the two generals?" Gu Mu asked.
He walked to Shen Ci's bedside and looked down.
A large gash appeared in Shen Ci's abdomen, with his intestines spilling out. However, he was still holding on thanks to his strong willpower and had not died.
"It's like this after we brought it back. I just checked, and I'm afraid... it won't last more than two days," Su Linle said, head down.
She knew that Shen Ci was Shen Ling's brother.
But at the same time, he should first and foremost be a soldier of the Southern Kingdom.
Therefore, Su Linle would not have any selfish motives in this matter.
Because if she had any selfish motives and ruined a capable general of the Southern Kingdom, His Majesty would definitely despise her.
She looked at Gu Mu sincerely and said, "I can't save either General Meng or General Shen. Their injuries are just too serious."
Gu Mu turned to look at General Meng on the other side; his condition was no worse than Shen Ci's.
Upon hearing Su Linle's words, all the other soldiers in the wounded soldiers' camp turned their heads away in unbearable sorrow.
If His Majesty hadn't been there, they probably would have burst into tears.
"These two generals are great heroes of the Southern Kingdom," Gu Mu said calmly. "They accompanied me in defending the Southern Kingdom and prevented the Eagle Kingdom from conquering its cities."
"Secondly, they accompanied me on the battlefield, conquering the Eagle Kingdom and the Fox Kingdom, and repelling the attack of the Qi Kingdom."
“Every time, they accompanied me at the forefront, offering strategic advice and possessing irreplaceable wisdom.”
"These two generals deserve great credit."
As Gu Mu spoke, the soldiers in the wounded soldiers' camp could no longer hold back their sobs.
But life and death are predestined.
These two generals made outstanding military achievements.
At this moment,
They could only leave this world with their glory intact.
The soldiers felt particularly reluctant to leave when they thought about it.
They looked at the two generals, wanting to remember their faces one last time, to etch them in their hearts, to take them as role models, and to become His Majesty's right-hand men.
But they saw His Majesty stuff a pill into each of their mouths.
"Because they have made invaluable contributions and are irreplaceable, I have decided to reward each of them with a Resurrection Pill." Gu Mu remained expressionless. Only now did he realize how powerful the Resurrection Pill was. It could not only save his life but also spare him from the pain of separation and death. "I hope that you two can continue to accompany me on the battlefield."
At this point, Gu Mu's voice became somewhat hoarse.
He wasn't unsad.
Besides these two generals, a large number of soldiers from the Southern Kingdom also died.
However, his points are limited, and he can't necessarily save everyone.
Those soldiers can only be buried as martyrs, and their families will be treated with great respect.
I only hope that those who died for the Southern Kingdom can rest in peace in the afterlife.
