The remaining masked assassins looked at each other, all with expressions of surprise.
They had heard news of His Majesty the Southern Kingdom.
Even when he was still a prince, he wasn't favored and was somewhat mentally unstable.
But suddenly he became regent, and then rightfully sat on the throne of emperor.
In their view, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom was skilled in political maneuvering, but... they had never heard of him having such good fighting skills.
As for His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom, he once led troops into battle and killed countless enemies atop the tower in the capital.
But they didn't witness these things themselves, and only regarded them as rumors.
After all, the victor is justice, and Gu Mu won that battle, so naturally countless people praised him.
"Could it be that the rumors are true, and His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom... is really that powerful?"
"So when he was a prince... he was hiding his true strength all along!"
"Brothers, don't let your guard down, split up and run!"
In an instant, the masked assassins realized the seriousness of the situation.
They... were now surrounded by Gu Mu alone!
After witnessing Gu Mu's skills, the masked assassins began to scatter and run in other directions.
However... they were nowhere near as fast as Gu Mu.
Gu Mu took out his spear.
one,
two,
Three...
When the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom arrived, they discovered that His Majesty had not only caught up with the assassin, but had also killed several people at his hands.
"Don't let them get away," Gu Mu commanded coldly.
"Yes!" Those who can go to the battlefield should have this much insight.
The moment Gu Mu spoke, the soldiers surrounded the assassins from all directions.
Although the assassins were highly skilled, they were outnumbered.
Moreover, among these people are martial arts masters from various countries, elite soldiers who have studied the Sunflower Manual... and the Southern Kingdom's Emperor, who strikes fear into their hearts.
"We must escape, even if it's just one person! Escape and send a message to His Majesty. His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom is no fool at all!" one of the masked assassins shouted to his fellow assassins before he died.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
No one was able to escape.
An assassin, under the cover of his companions, had already broken through the encirclement. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a message was about to be relayed to His Majesty the Eagle Kingdom, warning him not to let his guard down.
I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and then warm liquid flowed out.
Turning around,
His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom stood indifferently behind him.
A long spear pierced his chest.
"No...no..." The assassin could only utter a few syllables in despair before finally closing his eyes in resentment.
This emperor of the Southern Kingdom is simply too powerful!
It is very likely that no one in the world can surpass him!
He relied on... more than just the lord of the Hidden City...
They've been overlooking one thing: how could someone capable of restraining the Hidden City Lord and negotiating deals with him be a simple character?
Unfortunately, they had no way of telling His Majesty the Eagle Kingdom this news.
In the eyes of His Majesty the Eagle Kingdom and his ministers, His Majesty the Southern Kingdom was always a lucky guy who relied on the Lord of Hidden City, an incompetent person who suddenly gained power.
They... were still thinking of capturing Gu Mu alive.
How is that possible?
"Only now do I realize that the City Lord of Hidden City possesses extraordinary abilities, which explains why he hasn't killed His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom yet..."
"After all... if the Southern Emperor were truly an incompetent fool, he would have died at the hands of the Hidden City Lord long ago..."
In his dying moments, the masked assassin felt as if he understood everything.
Gu Mu sheathed his spear, the blood-stained spear dripping continuously with bright red blood.
A chilling aura appeared on Gu Mu's cold face.
Before you know it, after living in this cruel world for a long time, killing someone becomes as simple as eating and drinking.
At this moment, Gu Mu's heart remained completely unmoved.
If I had to describe any emotion, it would probably be joy.
After all, he can gain points by killing someone.
"I've earned another 10 points." Looking at the system panel showing 76 points, Gu Mu smiled with satisfaction.
This battle will likely earn him a lot of points.
For Gu Mu, washing away the shame of the South was not the most important thing.
Most importantly, we can farm points by relying on the United States!
Gu Mu's improvement in strength is closely related to his points.
"His Majesty……"
Suddenly, a clear, melodious voice rang out from behind.
Gu Mu turned around and found Shen Ling standing right behind him.
She was dressed in simple white clothes, but this did not diminish her beauty at all; under the moonlight, she looked ethereal.
Shen Ling's face showed some tension: "I was awakened by the noise of the other soldiers outside the tent. When I woke up, I found that Your Majesty was no longer by my side..."
"Your Majesty...I'm so worried about you..." Shen Ling said, her voice trembling.
If Gu Mu had suddenly left while they were in the palace, Shen Ling wouldn't have felt so afraid.
But……
Now is a time of great crisis, and no one knows what methods the enemy will use.
Gu Mu, in particular, was a key target of the enemy.
Gu Mu's sudden disappearance was worrying, even though Shen Ling knew he was very strong. After all, he was just a human being, someone who would grow old, get sick, and die.
"Don't worry!" Gu Mu saw Shen Ling's fear and pulled her into his arms. "It's windy at night, go back to your tent and rest early."
Shen Ling lowered her head and saw the enemy lying dead beside her.
