Free Web NovelChapter 1085: Chapter 1045: Gathering the Generals
After all, in the eyes of the old man, this guy named Wu could completely replace him. At this moment, they didn’t use him, but himself, which really made it hard for him to figure it out for a while.
Could it be that the other party wants to buy him off? Could it be that the other party wants to use such means to make him submit?
But it was very clear that this was impossible. His family had always been loyal. Even if the other party wanted to kill him, even if they wanted to put a knife to his throat, he would never compromise.
Of course, while he wouldn’t compromise, this meant he wouldn’t rebel, or switch directly to the Third Prince’s side. This was the bottom line.
As for Lin Yi having him recruit people now, after thinking it over, he did not refuse.
After all, who would want to die if they could live?
Moreover, all he had to do was gather people, not directly betray anyone. It shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
As for what this guy was going to say at the meeting, whether he was recruiting people, this had nothing to do with him. If someone did rebel because of it, it wasn’t his responsibility.
After all, if people could be recruited by Lin Yi to rebel, it means they already had rebellious intentions.
Even if he didn’t hold this meeting, if they encountered the right opportunity, they would certainly rebel.
Because of this, the old man felt no burden at all. It could be said that he convinced himself. After convincing himself, he relaxed completely. When he looked at Lin Yi again, although his gaze was full of indignation, there was little resistance.
If truth be told, he was really afraid of death. Otherwise, he would have directly refused Lin Yi already.
And now, when he glanced at the guy named Wu, who was glaring at him with venomous hatred, he was even more certain of his thought. What did it matter if he stepped out?
Thus, he directly nodded to Lin Yi and walked out of the tent under everyone’s surprised eyes.
Regarding this, Lin Yi showed no surprise at all, nor did he stop the other’s actions.
As for whether the other party would honestly go out and call the generals, it didn’t matter much.
Even if the other party didn’t do it and simply ran away, it wouldn’t have a big impact on him.
Just to be safe, Lin Yi quickly flashed his body, raised a hand knife, and struck everyone in the room one by one. Instantly, everyone was chopped to the ground by Lin Yi’s palm.
At the same time, they all fell deeply unconscious. The commotion behind him made the old man pause and turn to look at Lin Yi, only to find that Lin Yi was the only one standing there now. As for his subordinates, they had already all fainted on the ground, lying crisscrossed with no chance to react.
This trick alone was enough to awe the old man. He truly realized Lin Yi’s terrifying capabilities.
He had originally thought that if he had more people on his side, there might be a slim chance. But now, thinking back, it was all so laughable. Just with this recent move, the other party could instantly take his life in the crowd.
With such capabilities, he could freely come and go within this camp.
This immediately shattered the last thread of hope he had.
After Lin Yi swiftly knocked down those guys, he quickly moved again. Before the old man could react, he stood beside him, giving him an innocent smile:
"Hehe, let’s go together."
That one sentence from Lin Yi made the old man’s body tremble.
He could only smile awkwardly at Lin Yi and continue walking outside.
At this moment, in his heart, he did not have any other fantasies, and he had completely resigned to fate. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Now, whatever Lin Yi wanted him to do, he would do it without a second thought or resistance.
This kind of Immortal figure, with such Immortal-like methods, was truly not something an ordinary man like him could deal with. freeweɓnovel.cøm
For this reason, in the ensuing time, he didn’t play any tricks and walked honestly out of the tent.
Looking at the guards outside with puzzled expressions, the old general straightened his face and spoke to them:
"Go, call all the generals here. Tell them that I have important matters to discuss."
It must be said that the old man still had considerable prestige, and his rank was also displayed here. Therefore, when mobilizing troops, he didn’t need the Tiger Talisman. Moreover, since he was personally giving the command this time, none of the guards dared to resist. They didn’t think much of it either, directly shouting out in response, turning to run in all directions.
This was the benefit of the old man’s personal presence. If it were that guy named Wu instead, it would never be so easy to gather people together.
He would not only need the Tiger Talisman but also have to run to every camp to personally convey the old man’s orders.
This was also because the current society was not equipped with advanced communication tools.
If otherwise, with just a raise of hand and a shout, everyone could hear the old man’s command, making things much easier.
But obviously, the current technological level couldn’t achieve that, so in this era, transport was basically by walking and communication by shouting.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yi was ever-present behind him, and that dagger occasionally poked against his waist, making the old man even more wary. He didn’t say anything unnecessary. After giving those orders, he turned back into the hall.
As for the commotion that happened earlier, could the guards outside really not hear it?
Of course, they could hear it, but without the General’s permission or summons, they absolutely wouldn’t dare enter.
This was because, inside, apart from the General, were deputy generals. In other words, everyone inside was a superior who contemplated military strategies. Even though they were guards, without a summons, they definitely couldn’t enter.
Otherwise, if they overheard any military combat plans due to some argument, the consequences awaiting these people wouldn’t be good at all.
This is why, despite the earlier uproar, they didn’t enter, and when the old man emerged, the soldiers’ faces were clearly filled with puzzled expressions.
