"Your Majesty! It is my incompetence that is the fault of this subject..."
Hai Jingming was about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness!
But before he could finish speaking, he was rebuffed!
"You are indeed incompetent! How come you can't fight a war without Prince Shun?"
"Then what use are you to me?"
"Or do you also think I would abandon the city and flee?"
This is the second time.
"The first rumor was controlled by me personally! The second time, I deliberately wanted to see how you would deal with it, but I didn't expect your solution to be that you had no solution at all."
"What! Are you standing up for your daughter!?"
Hai Jingming choked on his words! His face was filled with shame!
Lin Ru looked at his expression but did not stop talking!
Using her inner strength, she shouted, "Does that mean none of you can fight without me?"
"You've been utterly routed just because of a few divisive words from the enemy. It's truly an eye-opener for me."
"It seems that sparing your lives was the worst decision I ever made."
"I might as well go to the underworld with Prince Shun and keep him company!"
Some words, accompanied by that powerful inner strength, reached everyone's ears!
The soldiers lowered their heads in shame!
"Now you know shame!"
"Then hurry up and kill him! What are you all standing around for?!"
"Open the city gates for me!"
"I want to go out myself!"
Hai Jingming quickly intervened, saying, "Your Majesty! The Marquis of Zhennan's forces far surpass ours!"
"You'd better not go out rashly."
"Don't worry, with us here, we will absolutely not let them breach the city gates..."
Lin Ru gave him a cold look and said, "Shut up!"
She was already annoyed by the voices in her mind that were increasing her hatred level!
Don't listen to these people's meaningless ramblings; they'll only annoy you!
And at that very moment, there were still those who weren't afraid of death who dared to provoke us!
"You must be that little brat who abandoned the city, fled halfway, and then came back."
"He actually calls himself '朕' (the imperial "I")!?"
"That's absolutely hilarious!"
"You little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you dare to fight me?!"
"I advise you to obediently open the door and let me in. Perhaps, considering your good looks, I might even appoint you as a beauty!"
"But I never expected that the famous Smiling Buddha would be reduced to living under the thumb of a little girl, being scolded mercilessly, and not daring to utter a word. It's truly laughable!"
"After I conquer this city, I will spread your cowardly reputation far and wide!"
"Let all the lords take a look!"
"Hai Jingming! General Hai, what a pathetic sight you've become!"
Lin Ru's words were amplified using her internal energy, so they were also heard by the Marquis of Zhennan!
"Little girl! You don't look very old."
"You'd better hurry home and drink your milk."
"Haha! Yes, hurry home and drink your milk."
"You men actually appointed a woman as empress! And a mere little girl at that! It's absolutely hilarious."
"He was scolded like a little punk, not daring to utter a sound, standing there like a grandson!"
"I'm not afraid of losing face if this gets out..."
All sorts of provocative and mocking voices reached their ears!
Lin Ru looked at her men, her fists clenched in anger, wishing she could go down and fight them to the death right now!
She pulled a crossbow bolt from her sleeve with a cold smile!
Then he shot it at the person who was laughing the loudest!
The man fell to the ground with his mouth wide open, as if laughing, when he was shot!
Next comes the second arrow, and then the third arrow!
Every arrow hits its mark!
The laughter below subsided amidst the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the air!
Marquis Zhennan never expected that this young girl would actually have some skills!
The smile on his face instantly faded!
He raised his hand and loudly gave orders to the people behind him!
"All of you, charge!"
"Whoever can kill this young girl will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."
"seal up……"
Whoosh~
A crossbow bolt struck him squarely between the eyebrows. The bolt had been coated with a deadly poison that would kill on contact with blood, so before he could finish speaking, he collapsed in disbelief and never came to life again!
The entire battlefield was silent for a moment, and then it erupted with screams of agony!
"My lord! My lord!"
"The Marquis is dead!"
"My lord!"
This arrow not only threw the enemy troops below into disarray, but also boosted the morale of the soldiers behind Lin Ru!
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"Heavens! What is that thing His Majesty is holding? Why is it so powerful?"
"My goodness, Her Majesty the Queen is amazing."
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
No one present expected that the situation on the entire battlefield would be completely changed because of a little girl, who was the source of mockery on one side just a moment ago!
The emotions and morale of both sides on the field underwent a dramatic change!
After a brief period of chaos, the soldiers on the other side rallied their morale and pointed their swords directly at Lin Ru!
"Kill Lin Ru! Avenge the Marquis!"
"Avenge the Marquis!"
Meanwhile, the soldiers on Lin Ru's side were in high spirits!
"Kill! Protect His Majesty!"
After saying this, their gazes all fell on the slender back of the woman on the city wall!
Quietly waiting for their own emperor to give orders!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Ru calmly stuffed the crossbow into her sleeve, and then took out a black tubular unidentified object from her other sleeve!
Wu Ling immediately recognized it! Wasn't this the divine artifact that all the feudal lords were vying for?
Thinking about how His Majesty always feels extremely uncomfortable after using this divine artifact!
He quickly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, it's not time for that yet!"
"There's no need to use the divine artifact."
"I'll lead my men out of the city gate right now, and we'll definitely take the city back!"
"You'd better not use this!"
"Every time you..."
Lin Ru didn't listen to him!
Before he could finish speaking, he pointed the spirit cannon in his hand at the people below!
Then there was a loud bang!
The clamor below, which had been clamoring for revenge for the Marquis, vanished without a trace in an instant!
This time, Lin Ru used a spirit cannon with a relatively short range to avoid going berserk due to excessive increase in hatred points!
Even so, she was still overwhelmed by the surge of hatred in her mind, which gave her a splitting headache!
But as she killed more and more people, the system's reports became increasingly detailed!
She really wanted to tell the whole story of the people she killed!
