Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 932: With You Always (77)

"Your appointment is based on trust in you, Jun Li, don’t be ungrateful!"

"Alright then, since the Heavenly King holds us in such regard, whatever command he has, just give the order. Everything I do is not for any individual, but for the peace of the Heavenly World."

"The matter is that we learned the Netherworld is in the Demon World, and the Demon World won’t turn her over. Indeed, why would they? Handing her over would only confirm the Demon World’s culpability, wouldn’t it? The latest news has just arrived, the Demon World has already called up their armies, and they have declared that this matter was instigated by us in the Heavenly World, and that they plan to unite the Netherworld, Demon World, and Immortal Realm to attack our Heavenly World."

"Heavenly King, you know well the rules set during the Six Realms meeting. If the Demon World doesn’t hand over Ah Wun, we should retaliate in kind. Having the other Four Realms attack us, are you sending me to die? In my view, there is room for negotiation; if the Heavenly King initiates peace talks with the Demon World, it’s possible to quell the smoke of war."

The Heavenly King narrowed his eyes slightly, "I will not bow to them. If we concede this time, what will the other realms think of the Heavenly World? They would think us cowards, afraid to confront the Demon World. Though we strike first this time, it was still the Demon World that provoked us."

"But the other realms may not see it that way." Gu Lili looked at him. "You are the leader of the Heavenly World, and it’s up to you to decide. If you command an attack, we will fight, as long as you believe the Heavenly World can withstand the Four Realms."

"I have already sent a handwritten letter explaining the origin of this matter to the other Three Realms. They surely wouldn’t want to wade into troubled waters."

"Report!!!" A Heavenly Soldier swiftly rushed in from outside, "The Demon World’s army is already pressing close to our Heavenly World’s borders!"

"Only Demon World forces?"

"Yes."

The Heavenly King stood with a stern face, "Jun Li, heed the order!"

"I am here!" Gu Lili half-knelt in salute.

"I appoint you as Imperial Commander. Now lead the blue, yellow, and white elite troops to meet the Demon army." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I accept the command."

Though she knows they intend for her to die, she still must execute the order. If the Heavenly King knew it was she who instigated this, he might execute her on the spot?

Gu Lili withdrew and swiftly returned to Lizhi Garden to change into battle armor.

She had previously led troops into battle, possessing a set of white battle armor that added to her heroic aura.

She left Lizhi Garden and headed to the military camp.

To the soldiers, she was not unfamiliar.

Most were quite fearful of her.

When Gu Lili commanded the troops, she was more unsympathetic than any male General, which was known to all in the military.

What everyone didn’t know was that Gu Lili was already not the same as she was years ago. Now she has a child, and her heart has grown softer.

"The ruthlessness of war lies in leaving you no choice but to kill or be killed. This is a battle between life and death. I hope everyone will give their all, not just for the victory to protect the Heavenly World, but for eternal life. I will walk alongside you. The Demon army is closing in on us—shall we engage?!"

"Yes!!!" The deafening chorus rang in Gu Lili’s ears. Seeing everyone’s morale so high, she brandished the war flag and led them forward.

"Aunt!" Jun Xiangyi landed in front of her, speaking urgently, "Aunt, come with me, I have something to tell you, only need two minutes."

Gu Lili went with her aside, "What is it you want to say?"
