Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

However, before Lin Mo could recover from his joy...

The map of mountains and rivers in his mind suddenly changed drastically, almost making him faint.

[Ding! The fog in the North has dissipated, and full map visibility is now unlocked!]

[Ding! Mountains, rivers, cities, passes... all details of the territory have been loaded!]

A series of notification sounds, accompanied by a massive flood of information, seemed to rush into his mind all at once.

The previously blurry map of the North instantly became incredibly clear.

The desert west of Zhenbei City, which has always been shrouded in mist...

At this moment, every detail is clearly visible, and you can even see a sizable bandit hideout in a secluded valley.

Further afield, snow-capped mountains, dense forests, and unheard-of passes...

A complete and unreserved North lay laid bare before him.

This feeling...

It's like having a full-map cheat in a game!

Cool!

On the other side...

Meng Hu was still standing there, stunned.

His eyes were fixed on the head that had rolled to his feet.

Yuwen Biao's unclosed eyes were staring at him, filled with endless terror and bewilderment.

died.

The enemy they hated so much was... dead.

My mind went completely blank.

A good ten seconds passed before Meng Hu's towering body suddenly trembled.

then.

"thump!"

This tough man, who shed blood but not tears on the battlefield, suddenly buckled at the knees and slammed them hard into the ground.

He looked up at the gray sky.

Two streams of hot tears, which he could no longer hold back, gushed out from his bloodshot eyes.

The grief, hatred, humiliation, and resentment that had been suppressed for too long erupted at this moment like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Old General—!!!"

A mournful cry, heart-wrenching and devastating.

"Young General—!!!"

Another cry rang out, heartbreaking.

"Our brothers in the Mountain-Shaking Army... who died unjustly—!!!"

He pounded the hard ground with his fists, not caring that blood was seeping from between his knuckles.

He pointed at the filthy head on the ground and let out a hoarse, beast-like roar.

"Did you...see that!?"

"Yuwen Biao! That scoundrel Yuwen Biao! He's dead!!"

"His head! It's right here!!"

"You... can rest in peace now—!!!"

A mournful roar echoed before the empty city gate, carrying with it endless desolation and a sense of liberation.

On the city wall, three thousand veterans kept peeking out.

At the moment they saw Yuwen Biao's head fall to the ground, they all fell into a deathly silence.

Meng Hu's roar was like a fuse, instantly igniting the powder keg that had been suppressed in their hearts for countless days and nights.

"thump!"

"Thump! Thump!"

The clanging of armor echoed as veterans knelt one after another on the cold city wall.

They took off their helmets, revealing gray hair and weathered faces.

They too faced the sky, many of them already weeping uncontrollably.

An elderly captain wiped his face haphazardly with his sleeve, and let out a hoarse shout.

"Brothers!"

Rest in peace!

"The great revenge has been taken!"

"The great revenge has been taken!!"

The shouts of three thousand people converged into a deafening roar that soared into the sky.

The mournful cry echoed back to Meng Hu, causing the entire town of Zhenbei to buzz.

Qin Ruxue looked at the tragic and solemn scene before her.

His gaze swept over the group of people kneeling on the city wall, and then landed on Meng Hu, who was crying like a child on the ground.

Finally, she looked at the man who had caused all of this.

Lin Mo, with his hands tucked in his pockets, stared intently at the air in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.

He was examining the new map in his mind with great interest, muttering to himself.

"Oh, there's a hot spring here?"

"Not bad, not bad. I'll take Yao Yao and the ladies out for a soak later..."

Until the soft flesh around my waist was pinched hard.

"hiss--!"

Lin Mo winced in pain and suddenly came to his senses.

He turned to look at Qin Ruxue, his face full of confusion.

"Why are you pinching me! Are you trying to murder me...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ruxue gave him a look and gestured with her chin toward the people kneeling on the ground.

Lin Mo followed her gaze.

Good guy.

A sea of ​​people knelt down, their cries shaking the heavens.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of large cult gathering.

He then realized what was happening.

Oh wow.

Time to show off!

He's a master at winning people's hearts.

Lin Mo understood Qin Ruxue's intentions very well.

So he coughed twice to clear his throat.

The originally noisy crying and sobbing miraculously quieted down because of his slight movement.

All eyes, whether on the ground or on the old soldier on the city wall, were focused on him.

There was sadness, gratitude, and confusion.

Lin Mo took a few steps forward and stood in front of Meng Hu.

He didn't rush to help the person, nor did he rush to speak.

Instead, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Yuwen Biao's round head hard!

"Bang!"

That head, its eyes wide open in death, was kicked flying more than ten meters away like a ball.

It rolled on the ground, covered in dust.

This action was brutal, direct, and even somewhat humiliating.

But in the eyes of all the veterans of the Shaking Mountain Army, it was more satisfying than any words!

happy!

Lin Mo then spoke, his voice carrying clearly throughout the city gates.

"I, Lin Mo, have never had the honor of witnessing the charisma of General Chu in person."

"But the loyalty and bravery of the Mountain-Shaking Army, and the renowned reputation of General Chu for his service to the country and its people, are already widely known!"

"Some people are alive, but they are already dead."

"Some people are dead, but they still live on!"

"Although General Chu has passed away, his loyal spirit will live on forever!"

"And Yuwen Biao, such a despicable scoundrel, betrayed his promise and harmed loyal and virtuous people!"

Even if they were alive, they would be nothing more than walking corpses, a pile of mud!

He pointed to the dirty head in the distance.

"Today, his head is here! It is to comfort the spirits of General Chu and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Army in heaven!"

"From this day forward, Yuwen Biao will never exist again. He will be nailed to the pillar of shame, his infamy lasting for eternity!"

His words were spoken with force and conviction.

Every word struck a chord with Meng Hu and all the veterans of the Hanshan Army.

Meng Hu stopped crying.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Mo with his bloodshot eyes, his expression complex.

Even if Lin Mo didn't engage in these superficial things...

He was already filled with admiration for Yuwen Biao's swift and decisive decapitation.

What's more, he's the young lady's man.

From a moral and rational perspective, and from a public and private standpoint...

Meng Hu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, and in the end, all his emotions were transformed into a resolute action.

He suddenly bent down and slammed his forehead heavily on the ground in front of Lin Mo!

"Thump!"

The voice was deep and resolute.

"Meng Hu, on behalf of the 3,672 brothers of the Shaking Mountain Army, thanks Young Master Lin for his great kindness!"

He raised his head again, his eyes no longer showing any hesitation.

"From this day forward, my life, Meng Hu's life, belongs to you, young master!"

"I am willing to follow your lead, young master, even unto death!"

On the city wall, all the veterans of the Shaking Mountain Army, seeing this, followed Meng Hu and kowtowed heavily in the direction of Lin Mo.

The weapons in their hands were neatly placed in front of them.

"We are willing to die for our lord!"

"I am willing to die for Young Master Lin!!"

The voices of three thousand people, when combined, were no longer cries of sorrow, but a thunderous vow.

The sound struck the city wall, and even the bricks and stones beneath their feet trembled slightly.

Lin Mo looked at the dark mass of people kneeling before him and listened to the system notification in his ear.

[Ding! You have gained the absolute loyalty of the Mountain Shakers, and your reputation with the North has greatly increased!]

Oh wow.

An unexpected gain?
