Free Web NovelChapter 1096: Chapter 1056: Welcome to the Rescue
Of course, if they had any personal agenda, their fate would be no different from those around them.
Don’t you see they’re all lying on the ground, unable to move?
Once the Centurion left, Lin Yi’s gaze once again swept over the crowd present as he pointed at the guys he had knocked out and said:
"Try to wake them all up, but be careful not to let them shout randomly."
After saying this, Lin Yi seemed afraid they might misunderstand, so he added:
"It’s not that I’m worried their shouting might stir up unnecessary trouble; it’s just that I don’t like noise.
Do you understand what I mean? If you make too much noise, I’ll choose to make you shut your mouths."
This sentence carried quite a bit of intimidation, and everyone naturally understood the implications, but at this moment, they had no chance to resist. Upon hearing this, they nodded vigorously.
In agreement, the people tied near the Deputy General began to take action, though their methods were somewhat rough.
Currently, their entire bodies were bound, with only their feet free to move. Thus, the way they chose to wake the others was quite peculiar.
They couldn’t fetch water to splash on the unconscious ones, so they simply started spitting to wake them up.
And believe it or not, a group effort achieved the desired effect, as these guys actually woke up.
As for their current state, Lin Yi couldn’t bear to look directly; to sum it up, they looked somewhat disgusting.
So, Lin Yi abruptly turned around and started walking out of the great hall.
Just as he was about to exit the hall, he uttered a faint voice that reached everyone’s ears:
"Line up now, follow me. Head towards the parade ground. Don’t harbor any sneaky ideas; if I catch on, your fate will be just like theirs. I’ll say this just once."
With that, Lin Yi ignored the crowd, strutting out towards the vast parade ground outside, while the Generals behind him dared not defy Lin Yi’s words.
The man’s tactics were too terrifying; they didn’t even dare entertain the thought of resistance. As for what the guards outside might do to Lin Yi when they step out of the hall, they held no hope anymore.
As long as they don’t cause trouble for themselves, and as long as they keep their lives.
However, the situation turned out just as they imagined. Once everyone made their way outside, the guards were dumbstruck, seeing their own Generals bound up like dumplings. Everyone froze and couldn’t react, staring in dazed silence.
These individuals were indifferent, merely hoping to survive now, having a "watch if you want" attitude towards the outside perception.
As for Lin Yi, he continued walking in the front, never pausing, while those behind him followed, heading towards the parade ground.
This scene attracted numerous soldiers’ attention; seeing this moment left everyone dumbfounded, speechless, until they snapped back and realized they were now at the parade ground, surrounded by thousands.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Everyone, quickly rescue the Generals."
This shout startled everyone, but Lin Yi at the front didn’t pay it any mind.
The Generals, upon seeing so many of their own gathering and the considerable distance still ahead, felt their hearts skip a beat.
They suddenly became proactive, imagining that surrounding themselves with this many people might actually lead to their rescue.
Or even if they couldn’t be rescued, mixing into such a crowded mass might make it difficult for that guy to easily eliminate them.
At that moment, they might even find a chance to escape.
With such thoughts, their eyes glimmered with sudden hope.
This scene didn’t escape Lin Yi, who saw the crowd rushing towards him; there were about three to four thousand people.
Lin Yi maintained composure, calmly raised his hand, and a burst of flame appeared on his palm.
In the next moment, a loud noise ensued, resounding in everyone’s ears.
The soldiers charging towards them froze in place after the loud noise, their steps halted. As they looked ahead again, a thud sounded, and a General collapsed to the ground.
This General was of quite a high rank, specifically their Deputy General.
This rank was only second to that old man.
Now, because of their charge, after the loud sound, this guy had perished.
Instantly, that group of Generals felt their hearts skip a beat.
Their hope was crushed again.
Right then, Lin Yi’s voice rang out clearly in everyone’s ears:
"Well done, you’ve done well. You can rush forward and try to rescue them, give it a shot. But I can’t promise who will be the next to fall."
Saying this, his gaze shifted to the old man and those high-ranking Generals, his mouth curled into a sneakily sinister smile:
"Of course, it won’t be them; it’ll be one among you.
Who it will be, well, you may try to find out."
Seeing Lin Yi’s smile and the situation, all the Generals were gripped with fear.
The old man was the first to bellow:
"Everyone, retreat, no one is allowed to approach."
This bellow was frantic and clear to all, causing the soldiers preparing to rescue to fall into a dilemma.
Do they want to go forward to rescue?
[To be continued....]
