Free Web NovelChapter 1131: Chapter 1077: The Eldest Prince Taken Down with One Shot
After all, if he really did nothing, then anyone could replace him in his position, and it’s believed that anyone could do well in this position.
This is also why he broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly started to think, but of course, the more anxious he was in his heart, the less he could think of a solution; at the time, he truly felt as agitated as an ant on a hot pan.
Seeing this, Lin Yi shook his head quite helplessly, thinking that over these days, he had been too aggressive and had relaxed them too much.
To the point that they didn’t even know how to fight a battle, and even General didn’t know how to formulate strategies. This was something he absolutely would not allow.
He wanted to establish a rigorous scientific atmosphere, only in this way could later generations continue to delve deep into these matters. Otherwise, when he himself fell, everything would likely collapse instantly, and human struggles might be even more brutal.
Of course, these are talks for another time, let’s not mention them for now, but speak of this moment on the field. Looking at those densely packed bed crossbows on the distant city wall, Lin Yi’s lips slightly curved upward, he glanced at the old man and casually said.
So, he did not interrupt the other, just quietly watched the old man, waiting for his thoughts, waiting for his solution.
He believed this old fellow must have his own set of ideas. After all, being able to sit in his current position indicated he wasn’t a fool.
Surely, in terms of military strength, he must have unique insights.
And, just as expected, after letting the old man think for a moment, he finally spoke out a strategy that could be implemented.
However, upon hearing this strategy, Lin Yi did not agree with it.
Even though the old man’s arrangement might minimize personnel casualties and have a definite chance of success.
Lin Yi nevertheless didn’t agree.
The reason he wanted the old man to think was simply to give him a warning and remind him of his identity.
As for the strategy that the old man came up with, Lin Yi naturally did not plan to truly implement it.
He still wanted to make headway all the way, after all, time waits for no man. His time seemed long, decades even, but don’t forget how significant his mission was; he was carrying the development process of all humanity.
Compared to the history of human development, a person’s life is merely a drop in the ocean. He needed to create a sufficiently powerful dynasty in his lifetime, to establish a rigorous scientific atmosphere so that later generations wouldn’t take detours.
Otherwise, once he truly fell, future generations would likely collapse instantly, and even if he built an enormous dynasty, it would collapse in an instant, something he absolutely would not allow.
Of course, these are matters for another time; for now, let’s talk about the current situation. Through the telescope, looking at the city wall with rows of densely packed bed crossbows, Lin Yi’s lips slightly curved upward, then he spoke to the old man beside him:
"Your method is admittedly a good one now, but there is one thing I don’t quite agree with.
That is, your method sacrifices some soldiers; you could say you are using some soldiers’ lives to exchange for this city, which I don’t want to see."
After pausing briefly, Lin Yi continued to speak:
"So I hope that when you think about issues in the future, the first thing you need to consider is how to minimize casualties among our personnel. If there can be no casualties, then definitely not one more life should be given; this is my only requirement for you.
Of course, if things cannot be done, then there’s no need to force it.
But take a look, those bed crossbows are ready over there; if our Vanguard Camp charges up, they will surely be shot and toppled over.
It’s fair to say the power of those bed crossbows is enormous, and in an instant can take thousands of our lives.
Of course, when they reload for the second time, our troops could also reach under their city wall, but how many will we lose in this round of volley? Have you thought about that?"
There’s no denying it, Lin Yi’s words were correct, and the old man’s statements were also correct. After all, standing from different perspectives leads to different outlooks on problems.
After all, Lin Yi was standing on the shoulders of giants, viewing things from a 21st-century perspective, and he had various types of heavy thermal weapons in hand. If there were no thermal weapons, the old man’s plan would undoubtedly be the best solution.
Of course, now saying these things is useless, since you have those items.
Having said that, he didn’t bother the old man but continued to take out the sniper rifle, then skillfully loaded it, aimed, and fired.
With a bang after the shot, the fellow originally swaggering on the city wall immediately tumbled down with a thud.
Indeed, with Lin Yi’s shot, he directly killed the Eldest Prince, because the power of this sniper rifle was not something ordinary firearms could compare to.
