Chapter 1011: Chapter 971: Lin Yi Makes His Move

Even if Yan Country and Zhao Country joined forces to attack, it would be nothing but a fool’s dream.

After all, the terrain at the Shanhai Pass is extremely steep, almost reaching a situation where one man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

With the support of the tall walls and the stationing of 100,000 troops, if the opponent truly wanted to forcefully attack, it would be absolutely impossible without an army of 500,000.

And although the combined total military strength of Yan and Zhao definitely exceeds 500,000, they do not dare to attempt such a move.

If they truly committed all their forces to this side, then for them, their rear would become an undefended territory.

If any party harbors disloyalty at this time, then the other side would be in danger.

Although they covet Dayou’s land, they certainly cannot achieve a unified stance, and they absolutely would not risk losing their own territory to invade Dayou.

Because of this, Lin Yi did not believe the words he heard.

He also did not believe that this person would truly dare to oppose him, truly lead over 10,000 troops in open rebellion, as he’s not a fool.

If 10,000 troops did indeed rebel, they would likely be devoured without a trace in an instant,

not to mention that even if he truly defected to Zhao Country or Yan Country, they would not treat him well either.

For such a defeated general, for such a defector, they wouldn’t value them either. The likely outcome would be to slowly dismantle his forces and then eliminate him.

This kind of situation has a 100% chance of happening.

After all, no king would allow disloyalty among his subordinates,

which means that if Lord Liu has the heart to betray Dayou, he would also have the heart to betray Zhao Country.

Rather than keeping this time bomb at one’s side, it’s better to deal with it swiftly.

Or perhaps use him as a stepping stone, seizing Dayou first, then turning against and eliminating him.

At this moment, however, Lord Liu was naïvely thinking that by controlling heavy troops and strategic positions, he could hold sway over the three forces.

Little did he know that none of these three forces actually took him seriously.

Especially since each of these forces has armies exceeding several hundred thousand.

Once Lin Yi heard enough, he had also come to understand the situation.

Eventually, they talked about that ten-person squad, and confirmed Lin Yi’s suspicions.

As expected, all ten had been eliminated to keep them silent.

As for those afraid to come forward afterwards, they had already been imprisoned,

and Lin Yi was furious about this,

After listening for a while, he determined that this person was being held in a certain dungeon, heavily guarded, not easy to access,

but for Lin Yi, this was not an issue.

As long as these people didn’t issue any orders, then the substitute wouldn’t be in any danger, which was sufficient.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea flash through his mind, that was, to eliminate these people completely, and do so openly and audaciously.

With that, he leapt down, shattering the tiles below, and fell along with the debris.

Of course, although he descended rapidly, his landing was not awkward; instead, it was extraordinarily valiant.

This action immediately captured everyone’s attention in the room.

The sound burst out with such a bang that it startled everyone, causing them to shudder, and the wine cups in their hands dropped to the floor.

When they looked toward the source of the sound, they saw a figure standing in the open space.

Not only was there a large hole on the roof, but now there was also a living person standing before them.

This person seemed unfamiliar, someone they didn’t recognize at all.

At this, Lord Liu immediately frowned, his gaze cold as he spoke with an icy tone:

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my residence? Utterly reckless. Do you know where you are? Do you know who I am?"

A string of questions was enough to show this person’s arrogant and domineering character, sufficient to show how he lorded over this place.

It could be said that here, he considered no one worth noticing, treated no one as a matter of importance, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he disregarded everyone here without care.

Even with Lin Yi, who came with ill intentions, in his eyes, was nothing more than a petty rogue,

just waiting to be slaughtered like a fish on a chopping block.

Of course, his confidence and arrogant attitude stemmed entirely from the fact that he had over 10,000 soldiers under his command.

Moreover, the residence was heavily guarded, he believed that with just a shout, countless soldiers would arrive.

Not to mention, before he could even shout, the huge commotion probably already alarmed the surrounding guards.

It wouldn’t take long before they arrived.

And faced with his armed guards, even if this guy had some skill, it would be useless.

As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, much less against soldiers armed with machetes.

Because of this, when he looked at Lin Yi, there was a trace of deathly coldness in his gaze.

And this gaze successfully infuriated Lin Yi, though at this moment, despite Lin Yi being extremely angry inside, he didn’t show it on his face; instead, he remained calm, with a slight upward curl at his lips.

Anyone familiar with him, seeing this scene, would know that at this moment, Lin Yi was truly enraged, signaling that Lin Yi was about to kill.

Whatever Lord Liu could think of, Lin Yi had naturally already considered, the reason for not entering through the door and instead falling from mid-air was entirely to create a large commotion.

Lord Liu wanted his subordinates to come over, or perhaps control the situation,

yet Lin Yi equally wanted his subordinates to rush over and do some work.

Of course, seeing this, some might wonder, in this place fortified like an iron barrel by Lord Liu, how could his soldiers possibly listen to Lin Yi?

Hehe, to that, Lin Yi could only say, a wise man has his ways.
