Free Web NovelChapter 1105: Chapter 1064: I’ll Carry You to Victory
The old man’s words were indeed correct; the distance from here to the Capital City is quite far.
If you travel by carriage, it will certainly take more than ten days, because the speed at which carriages travel cannot be fast. It’s no exaggeration to say that even if you ride on a fast warhorse, it would still take at least five or six days.
This is also why the troops have not yet fully assembled despite such a long time.
It’s important to note that mobilizing soldiers from various places to this location has already taken more than a month, and during this time, only seventy thousand troops have arrived in total.
This clearly shows how underdeveloped the current transportation level is, especially since many roads simply do not exist and can be described as wilderness and mountains.
Especially now in summer, this place is overgrown with vegetation.
Traveling is very inconvenient, not to mention for people; even moving by carriage is more inconvenient, only by riding warhorses can one move a bit faster, as horses navigate through the forest quite swiftly.
It is for this reason that, upon hearing those words, the old man was so shocked.
If he really traveled by carriage, who knows what kind of changes might occur by the time he arrives there?
This situation is something he absolutely does not want to see.
Perhaps after such a long time, the seventy thousand troops may no longer belong to him.
At that time, he would have nothing to rely on.
Without these seventy thousand troops, he is simply nothing.
It’s no exaggeration to say, without soldiers, would Lin Yi still employ him?
Certainly not, he would undoubtedly remove him.
However, regarding this, Lin Yi utterly ignored the old man’s expression and walked towards an open space on his own.
This made the old man even more bewildered, and simultaneously, those three thousand elite soldiers also turned their gaze this way, awaiting the old man’s command.
They want to know what exactly is to be done.
This guy wants them to disband; is it true?
Although the old man has already submitted to Lin Yi, the soldiers are not aware of this.
The generals are all under Lin Yi’s rule, but the soldiers remain unaware.
It is for this reason that when Lin Yi said those words, they were puzzled.
They also want to know what the old man will ask them to do next.
When Lin Yi arrived at a mining site and looked back, he realized that the old man was still standing there stunned, and moreover, showed no intention of disbanding the crowd, causing Lin Yi to furrow his brow.
Looking at the old man, his tone was filled with coldness as he spoke:
"What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear what I said? Or was I not clear enough? Or do you have other thoughts?"
This statement caused the old man to tremble all over, instantly recalling all of Lin Yi’s previous tactics in his mind.
It must be said that the fear is engraved in his heart.
So much so that a mere word from Lin Yi makes him scared out of his wits.
Upon hearing these words, the old man instinctively shivered, quickly stepped forward, hurriedly waved to signal the three thousand to leave, and smiled at Lin Yi as he spoke:
"No, no, it’s just that I didn’t react for a moment; it was my oversight. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
At this moment, the old man feels indescribable, even knowing that Lin Yi’s words are perhaps useless, and also knowing there is no choice, because Lin Yi’s identity is evident.
His strength is obvious.
If he dares to utter a word, the next moment he’d likely end up like his subordinates, lying on the ground.
Therefore, the old man follows Lin Yi’s orders and hurriedly disperses the crowd.
His gaze is also filled with flattery.
In addition, he jogs to Lin Yi’s side, standing humbly.
Without Lin Yi’s instructions, he doesn’t know what to do.
It means if Lin Yi doesn’t instruct him on the carriage, he doesn’t dare to arrange it.
Because of this, Lin Yi nods in satisfaction and, with a wave of his hand, suddenly, all at once, his entire body begins to be surrounded by a layer of metal armor.
The old man had seen such a scene before, but never so intricately, and it directly stunned him.
Looking at Lin Yi who suddenly had armor appear on him, he truly didn’t know how to describe it.
Especially at this moment, the refinement of the armor and its futuristic technological appearance left the old man wondering what was going through his mind.
Forget about the current society; even putting this Iron Man armor in the 21st century would still be full of technological flair.
Even in the 21st century, no one could ignore it.
Therefore, witnessing such armor in this era is akin to seeing a UFO in the 21st century.
