Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1024 - 984: I Swear to Follow You Unto Death!

It’s not that Lin Yi intentionally tried to win people’s hearts; rather, he genuinely wanted to do something for these individuals,

in his heart, there was no thought of rank or status,

after all, he was from the 21st century, and in his heart, everyone was equal,

everyone is born of their parents, and everyone has their own rights,

no one is born to serve anyone else,

they are just pursuing their dreams.

Because of this, Lin Yi never viewed them as slaves,

instead, he treated them as brothers.

Lin Yi believed that if he treated these individuals sincerely, they would certainly treat him sincerely in return,

and because of this, he took the actions mentioned above,

and sure enough, his action touched a soft spot in the soldiers’ hearts,

when each of them looked at Lin Yi, it was with a gaze as if looking at their own father.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that if someone dared to stand up and go against Lin Yi’s wishes at this time, these people would immediately rise and tear that person to pieces,

without even needing Lin Yi to speak, if anyone dared to oppose Lin Yi, they would unhesitatingly charge forward.

It was precisely because of this that they instantly found a sense of belonging,

they believed Lin Yi was the best leader of their lives, the one they wanted to follow for life.

Indeed, these individuals had very low demands; as long as someone treated them a little better, they would unconditionally entrust their lives to the other party,

this is also a common situation in society today.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that if only Lord Liu had treated these soldiers a bit better daily, and been kinder to their families, then when Lin Yi came along, he might not have faced the situation he encountered,

perhaps he would have met with numerous resistances instead.

If Lord Liu’s subordinates hadn’t been so harsh with them, they might not have been tied up so quickly.

All of this has a cycle of cause and effect, and it’s because they did evil things every day that they’ve ended up in this predicament,

and because of their daily arrogance, no one stands up to defend them now.

"What are you all staring for? Each one of you, acting like this, like women—such cowardly soldiers, I don’t like them.

I want a majestic army, a fierce army.

My sons, henceforth we must eat our fill every day, train madly; only then can we defeat the enemy on the battlefield, only then can we strive to survive on the battlefield.

I have only one request for you, and that is to do everything in your power to preserve your own life on the battlefield.

Only by remaining alive does one have the possibility to keep fighting, only by surviving is there a chance to continue safeguarding my empire.

Furthermore, let me tell you this, the empire of Dayou is not mine alone!

The empire of Dayou belongs to everyone here, to each and every one of you!

Upon your shoulders lies responsibility; what you are guarding is not just my empire, it is the empire of all of you.

Only when our Dayou is stable will there be no external threats.

Only when our Dayou is strong, and you are strong, can our families, relatives, and friends live better lives."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax, and no one knew who led the charge, but someone shouted, "Kill!"

Suddenly, over ten thousand soldiers on the scene shouted in unison!

In a moment, a chorus of battle cries echoed over East County City in the Dayou empire.

It can be said that along with the tempting aroma of meat, a wave of uniform battle cries rang out.

Just this sound alone, if placed on the battlefield, would surely terrify the enemy.

Of course, even within East County City, this sound also startled the sleeping residents awake from their dreams.

One by one, they listened to the deafening cries outside, shivering with fear.

They didn’t know what had happened, they didn’t know what was happening outside,

but there was one thing they did know: no one dared to move; no one dared to go out to check. After all, if there were indeed turmoil, those who ventured out would surely be the first to get caught in it.

That night, many were destined to be sleepless,

and that night, this group of people was destined to be excited.

Of course, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel helpless towards this clamor of battle cries and slogans shouted by the crowd.

He had agreed not to disturb the common people, but now it seemed that it was no longer possible.

Yet when he smelled the strong aroma of meat, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile,

for the aroma of meat had already spread across East County City, reaching the homes of the common people, and perhaps many had already woken up drawn by the aroma.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.

The common people were indeed suffering, and thus, he directly issued an order that during the trial of these individuals tomorrow, food rations would be distributed simultaneously.

As long as they were residents of East County City, everyone would receive a certain amount of food; he wanted to open up the granaries of East County City to provide for the people here.

Perhaps speaking of providing relief seemed somewhat illogical, as the common people here, while struggling to fill their stomachs, hadn’t yet become like disaster victims.

But this barely enabled them to survive; wanting to eat well was clearly impossible.

Because of this, Lin Yi decided to give these common people a good meat meal.

Of course, transforming the common people’s life completely isn’t something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

This is Lin Yi’s firm resolution, his ambition to complete within three years.

Given three years, he not only planned to unify the three nations but also wanted to ensure that the people under his governance could all have ample food and clothing, no longer desperately striving just to fill their stomachs.

Although the thunderous battle cries also filled his heart with a fervor, Lin Yi hurriedly waved to stop everyone’s shouts, for after all, in the middle of the night, disturbing the people constantly might make everyone anxious.

Thus, as Lin Yi lifted the ladle for the first time, placing a large bowl of meat in a soldier’s bowl, the soldier quickly lifted the bowl filled with meat above his head, knelt to the ground with a thud, and shouted loudly to Lin Yi:
