I walk sideways in the game world

Inside the magnificent carriage, Prince Jin, dressed in gorgeous attire, slowly stepped down with a smile on his face. He warmly shook Ren Xiaoyao's hand and said gratefully, "Mr. Ren Xiaoyao, Ms. Xia Lin, it is thanks to you that we were able to prevent a huge disaster this time. I admire your bravery and wisdom so much."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Maintaining peace is everyone's responsibility." Ren Xiaoyao responded humbly, and Xia Lin nodded slightly in agreement.

"Please get in the car, we'll talk back at the palace." Prince Jin invited sideways.

The carriage was covered in soft velvet carpets, and the air was filled with a delicate fragrance. Prince Jin gestured for Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin to take a seat, then spoke directly, "This incident has made me realize that closing our doors to the outside world will only lead to further backwardness and greater vulnerability to external intrusion. I hope to establish a formal partnership with you for mutual development and win-win results."

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged a glance. They knew Prince Jin had completely trusted them, which was crucial for future cooperation. "We are very willing to cooperate with your country," Ren Xiaoyao said firmly. "We come from a technologically advanced world and possess many advanced technologies and concepts. We believe we can help your country achieve rapid development."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Prince Jin's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"We can help your country develop new resources, such as..." Xia Lin was about to continue, but Ren Xiaoyao stopped her with a gesture. He cast a deep gaze at Prince Jin, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "These cooperation plans are of great importance. We need more time and a more private environment to explain them in detail."

Prince Jin was slightly taken aback, then he understood what Ren Xiaoyao meant. He laughed heartily and said, "Alright! I will host a banquet in the palace tonight to entertain the two distinguished guests. Please be sure to come!"

As night fell, the palace was ablaze with lights, and fine wine and delicious food were already prepared. Led by a maid, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin entered the magnificent banquet hall...

In the magnificent banquet hall, soft exotic music flowed, and the air was filled with the aroma of fine wine and delicious food. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin, dressed in elegant gowns, chatted happily with Prince Jin.

"Your Highness, we have carefully analyzed your country's resources and current situation," Ren Xiaoyao said calmly, raising his glass. "We believe we can collaborate in three areas: agricultural technology, infrastructure development, and cultural exchange."

Xia Lin took over, elaborating on their plan. "We can introduce high-yield crops and advanced irrigation technology to help your country increase grain production. We can also help build infrastructure like roads and bridges to improve transportation and promote economic development. Furthermore, we can organize cultural exchange activities to enhance understanding and friendship between our two peoples."

Prince Jin listened with rapt attention, nodding in agreement from time to time. He knew full well that his country had long been isolated from the outside world, leading to slow development. The cooperation proposal proposed by Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin hit the nail on the head, opening a door to prosperity for him.

In the following months, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin kept their promise and actively promoted the implementation of the cooperative project. They brought in experienced agricultural experts to teach local farmers new planting techniques and invited engineering technicians to guide local people in building roads and bridges.

Over time, the fruits of their collaboration gradually emerged. The once barren land now produced abundant crops; the rugged mountain roads were transformed into smooth thoroughfares, connecting towns and villages. The living standards of the local residents improved significantly, and they were filled with gratitude and admiration for Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin.

"Mr. Xiaoyao, Ms. Xia Lin, you are truly our benefactors!" An old farmer excitedly shook Ren Xiaoyao's hand, tears in his eyes. "Since you came, our lives have been getting better and better. We no longer have to worry about going hungry or freezing."

Seeing the smiles on people's faces, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin felt a sense of accomplishment. They knew that everything they did was not only to complete the mission, but also to help the people of this land live a happier life.

However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a letter from afar shattered the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Prince Jin unfolded the letter with a solemn expression, his brow furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "How could this happen..."

The messenger's message reverberated like thunder in the magnificent palace. "The Black Iron Empire's cavalry has approached our border. They threaten to ravage our land and enslave us!" Prince Jin abruptly stood up and slammed the letter onto the table, his eyes burning with anger.

The air seemed to freeze, and the banquet hall was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of Prince Jin echoing. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged glances, each seeing shock and solemnity in the other's eyes. They knew full well that the Black Iron Empire was a powerful empire, its army well-equipped and well-trained, and renowned for its brutality and bloodlust.

"We must unite and resist the invasion of the Black Iron Empire!" Prince Jin clenched his fists and spoke firmly. "Mr. Xiaoyao, Ms. Xia Lin, I know you have extraordinary abilities. Please help us protect our homeland and our people!"

Ren Xiaoyao stood up, looked at Prince Jin with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please rest assured. We will fight alongside you and defend this land to the death!" Xia Lin also nodded in agreement, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The Black Iron Empire's cavalry advanced with heavy steps, step by step, and the dark clouds of war enveloped this beautiful land... Ren Xiaoyao drew the long sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the dark sky, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Prince Jin took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and turned to the guards behind him, "Pass the order down, summon the warriors from all over the country, and prepare to fight against the Black Iron Empire!" The guards took the order and left, their hurried footsteps echoing in the empty hall, knocking on everyone's heart.

"Your Highness," Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward, his expression stern. "The Black Iron Empire has a large and well-trained army, while your country has long focused on peaceful development and its military strength is relatively weak. We need to formulate a thorough strategy to resist their aggression."

Prince Jin nodded, knowing full well that what Ren Xiaoyao said was true. He looked at the brave warrior from another world, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Mr. Xiaoyao is resourceful and resourceful. He must have a way to help us overcome this difficult situation. Please speak!"

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged a quick glance. Xia Lin stepped forward, opened the map she carried with her, and laid it out before Prince Jin. "Your Highness, based on our recent understanding of your country's terrain, I believe we can utilize its natural defenses to gradually block the Black Iron Empire's forces and buy us time." She traced her slender fingers across the map, her fingertips gracing a precipitous mountain range. "We can use this mountain range as a natural barrier, establishing a first line of defense and delaying the enemy's attack."

"Alright!" Prince Jin's eyes flashed with appreciation. "Just as you said, we'll begin deployment immediately!"

Over the next few days, the entire royal city was mobilized. Citizens took up arms and rushed to the city walls, preparing for the coming war. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin also worked tirelessly, helping train soldiers, developing battle plans, and integrating the concepts of modern warfare into the fighting methods of this world.

However, a shadow still loomed over Prince Jin's heart. He was well aware of the Black Iron Empire's power and the cruelty of this war. He approached Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin and asked worriedly, "Mr. Xiaoyao, Ms. Xia Lin, do you know why the Black Iron Empire suddenly launched a war?"

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of solemnity in the other's eyes. They had also been pondering this question. The Black Iron Empire's sudden invasion seemed too sudden, and there seemed to be a deeper reason behind it.

"Your Highness," Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "We also find this matter suspicious. I'm afraid the Black Iron Empire's target isn't just your territory..." He wasn't finished when he was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. A soldier, covered in blood, stumbled in, his voice trembling, "Your Highness, this is bad! The Black Iron Empire's vanguard has already..."
