Wanting to rush forward, but afraid that their reckless actions might lead to the demise of all those officers.
If that’s the case, as long as the opponent gets a chance to turn the tables, they themselves will be in dire straits.
But now, they can only watch helplessly as those officers are suppressed by that guy, heading towards the mustering platform over there.
Not only that, their own officers are hoarsely shouting at them not to advance, making it even harder to blame them.
Consequently, this group of people began retreating backward in succession.
Including the soldiers who arrived later, upon witnessing such a situation, they began to inquire as well. After learning about this, it also shocked everyone immensely.
They all looked at the guy in the forefront with fear in their eyes. What kind of person was this?
Someone who could single-handedly suppress them, making tens of thousands of them dare not move an inch.
He was truly an Immortal figure!
Of course, while thinking this way, their steps did not stop either.
And so, under Lin Yi’s lead, they followed step by step towards the center, and soon reached the central position, while many Generals were also led by Lin Yi to the central mustering platform.
At this moment, soldiers already surrounded the area, and roughly estimating, there were at least twenty thousand around.
It can be said that large troops were already rushing over here.
As for the Centurion sent out earlier, although Lin Yi hadn’t seen where he was now, it was evident that he was no longer needed.
This situation quickly spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, soon reaching the ears of every soldier, and by then, even without Lin Yi calling, they would voluntarily come over.
And seeing everything happening right now, a slight smile appeared on Lin Yi’s lips, this was precisely what he hoped to see — these people all gathering here.
Not only that, but another thought suddenly arose in his mind, which was not only to recall these soldiers for use, not only to incorporate them, but even to use them to complete a very interesting task.
"Your Majesty King You, came in accordance with your instructions. Do you think you could release us now?"
Standing on the platform, looking at the growing number of soldiers below, some Generals actually began to beg for mercy, but Lin Yi responded with a brilliant smile.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh in his heart, truly wondering where this guy got the audacity to ask such a thing, releasing them, what were they thinking?
In the current situation, if he released them, what awaited him? There was no need to think, it must be tens of thousands of arrows sent from the opponent.
He wasn’t like those small live streamers who could dance for joy after launching a single arrow.
As for the old General? At this moment, he had long come to terms, his face was full of calmness, as long as the soldiers below didn’t stir up trouble, didn’t rush over here, his comfort would presumably be guaranteed.
Yet, at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly appeared beside him, looking at this old man with a slight smile, which made the old man’s hair stand on end.
The smile that Lin Yi displayed, he had seen before, and every time nothing good happened.
It made him curse inwardly, Lin Yi this devil, who knows what scheme he’s plotting again.
Indeed, Lin Yi’s smile didn’t mean anything good, at least for these Generals, it was a very bad omen.
Each time Lin Yi showed them such a smile, it was time for them to suffer misfortune.
Because of this, upon seeing this smile, all of their hearts skipped a beat.
And at this moment, Lin Yi’s voice sounded beside the old man, deliberately lowered, speaking in a tone that only he could hear:
"Old General, now I have a little idea, and I wonder if you could agree?"
Upon hearing this, the old man indeed had a sinking feeling, while also understanding it all too well.
Sure enough, this guy wanted to get him to do something, as for whether he could agree or wanted to agree, wasn’t that a joke?
I am the fish, and he is the knife, why ask me at this point?
So, the old man directly snorted, and spoke:
"Hmph, Your Majesty King You. Considering our current situation, why ask me? Whatever you wish to do, just do it quickly, as long as you spare my life, I will not resist you."
This sentence also revealed the helplessness and grievance in the old man’s heart. Right now, he truly had no intention of opposing Lin Yi, not even a trace.
At present, he only hopes to survive, to return home to retire, and as for not being the Grand General anymore, what does it matter?
However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi laughed and shook his head, then spoke:
"Old General, what kind of words are these? After all, your position here is still the highest, so naturally we need your opinion. We can’t just step over you to proceed, it’s a bit disrespectful to the elderly."
Heh heh, especially for someone like me, who is still particular about seniority. So this matter requires your consent to proceed."
His words made the old man’s eyes roll, good heavens, these words are so shameless.
If you were truly asking for my opinion, then release me, now that you have me tied up, what opinion can I have? Isn’t this forcing me? Is this what you want?
Although he thought this way, he couldn’t say it out loud.
After hearing Lin Yi’s words, the old man could only bitterly smile and shake his head, then speak:
"Since Your Majesty King You has said so, this is barely giving me some face, then I naturally won’t be uncomprehending.
Whatever Your Majesty orders, as long as I can do it, I won’t delay."
Although he said this, in his heart he had already cursed Lin Yi thoroughly.
However, Lin Yi was evidently satisfied with this answer, nodded and then spoke to the old man:
[To be continued....]
