God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The cotton quilt on and under her body revealed something about her, something that shouldn't be there under normal circumstances.

After all, the yard isn't a bed, so how could there possibly be such a thing there?
Thinking about the number of people in the yard, Arvind instantly realized where all those quilts came from.
If his perception and consciousness are not the problem, then currently, besides him, there is only Liu Xiu left in this courtyard.

The thought that the quilts on and under his body were brought out by Liu Xiu filled Awende with a sense of guilt.

He shook his head and saw Liu Xiu sitting on a stone bench to the side, looking somewhat drowsy.

It was obvious that Liu Xiu had fallen asleep while waiting for him. This was indeed his mistake; he had wanted to end the war dream exercise quickly, but he hadn't expected to waste so much time in the end.

The enemy was indeed more troublesome and difficult to deal with than he had imagined, completely different from the previous dream simulation. He didn't know how the standards were set.

Gently lifting the quilt from her body, she carefully got up from the ground, holding the quilt in her hand. She glanced at Liu Xiu, who was sitting on the stone bench, half asleep, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to put the quilt on Liu Xiu.

If they didn't let him in, they were afraid that Liu Xiu would catch a cold if he sat there for too long, and that it wouldn't be good if he got sick.

But if he were to place it on Liu Xiu, it would feel like a desecration, as it was a quilt he had used.

Just as he was hesitating and struggling to make a decision, Liu Xiu seemed to sense the hesitation and struggle around him. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the ground and the bed where no one was, paused briefly, and then instantly came to his senses. He looked to his left and right and saw Awende standing to the side, holding a quilt and struggling with his dilemma.

Realizing Arvind's hesitation and struggle, Liu Xiu chuckled lightly, without any teasing or mockery, but rather with a kind smile.

"I'm sorry for taking up so much time, Your Highness, please forgive me..." Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, seeing Liu Xiu like this, Awende took the blame first.

It's impossible to say that the problem of the dream simulation war not ending in a short time is Liu Xiu's fault.

If he had been more capable and made more decisive judgments, wouldn't the matter have ended sooner?

So, in essence, he is the one who is truly at fault.

"How much time has passed? Is the sun about to set?" Liu Xiu looked up at the sky. The sun, which was originally setting in the west, was now already showing signs of sunset.

It seems that quite a bit of time has passed; even in autumn, more than an hour has gone by.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu felt much happier and became even more certain of Awende.

Even though Arvind wasted a lot of time waiting for her to wake up, the time he wasted in the dream simulation was definitely not small.

Considering that even Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, who were hailed as geniuses, could only last for less than an hour in the dream simulation, Awende's ability to last longer demonstrates a certain level of military talent.

Even if he's not as good as Lu Xun, he probably won't be too bad. At least he should be more than qualified to be an excellent legion commander.

In this way, the subsequent road construction and political development could be carried out legitimately. "I'm sorry, it really took too long. If there's a next time, I can definitely..." Arvind didn't understand the other layer of meaning in Liu Xiu's words. He just thought that he had taken too long and hadn't met the standard Liu Xiu had mentioned.

In reality, half an hour to an hour is considered half an hour, but the time he spent, in reality, is almost an hour and a half. In terms of results, there is indeed a significant difference.

As for whether Liu Xiu's demands were too high, Awende didn't think there was a problem with the demands at all; on the contrary, he felt that his abilities were insufficient.

The other party was a princess of the Han Empire, and a true eldest princess at that. She was one of the most powerful figures in the vast Han Empire. Without such a request, Arvind himself would not feel at ease.

You could even say that if you put out this request, Arvind would probably have his own grandfather come running over and completing it within the allotted time.

Without that level of ability, facing the Han Empire's eldest princess was simply out of the question.

As for having that level of ability, facing the Han Empire's eldest princess, it was merely fulfilling her conditions; whether or not he gave her a chance was not up to him.

"It's alright, it's alright, this ability is more than enough." Liu Xiu didn't wait for Awende to say that the next time would be even shorter, but was very satisfied with the current time.

Being able to hold out for an hour and a half before failing is a rare feat in Chang'an. With such command and military strength, one can be considered to be able to guarantee safety.

As for victory, Liu Xiu never thought of it, nor did he have any such awareness.

According to previous intelligence, there is no such thing as victory in dream simulations; it's just a matter of how long you can last. Liu Xiu firmly believed this information.

Although she didn't understand military affairs, she knew what others were saying. If everyone was saying the same thing, then it meant that the theory was correct.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Seeing that Liu Xiu was willing to be magnanimous in this regard, Awende felt even more grateful, and his words and actions were filled with excitement.

However, he was carrying a quilt, which looked a bit strange, but Liu Xiu didn't care about that. Instead, he watched the sunset gradually disappear.

"This is troublesome; it's far too late." After confirming that the sun would set soon, Liu Xiu frowned slightly and stated the current time.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, there's not much of a problem.

But if night falls and a man and a woman are alone together, and something really happens, it seems she won't even have a chance to stop it. She doesn't know if His Majesty is still watching.

If a dangerous situation arises, is there any way to rescue her?
Going back through the tunnel would be significantly riskier.

Inside the courtyard, you can still shout a couple of times, but inside the tunnel, you're completely helpless...

"Your Highness, do not panic. I will ensure your safety!" Completely unaware that he himself was the greatest danger, Arvind expressed his determination without hesitation.

To protect the princess, even at the cost of our lives, we must accomplish this goal and prevent her from suffering any harm. (End of Chapter)
