Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1026 - 986: On the Flagpole

As for who made those sounds, there’s no need to think much about it; of course, it was the group of children who haven’t grown up yet muffling their cries.

That night was extremely difficult for them. After making it through the night, as dawn arrived, their cries rang out again,

even though the soldiers tried their best to suppress them, it was futile.

Because Lin Yi had already given orders that they should not be too harsh with this group of children.

Due to this, the soldiers had no way to deal with them, even if they feared disturbing Lin Yi’s rest, they had to watch them stubbornly.

Even some soldiers threatened them, which only made the children cry louder,

making the soldiers very troubled instantly.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Yi pushed open the tent and walked out.

Upon seeing the situation outside, he did not blame the soldiers at all,

Instead, after stretching lazily, he began to order the soldiers to work, instructing them to spread the news of his arrival everywhere,

and to propagate everything happening here.

Once the soldiers received the orders, they dared not delay at all, immediately splitting into countless small teams and heading out in every direction.

In a matter of moments, nearly half of the soldiers in the camp had left.

Of course, the reason for leaving half behind was Lin Yi’s request for them to guard the prisoners.

After all, the number of those guys was quite large, and without enough personnel to guard them, trouble could easily arise.

Lin Yi did not want this!

He wants to ensure no mistakes occur; he wants to ensure that his demonstration of power is compelling enough to bring about a sweeping change.

As expected, when the number of people decreased, someone immediately started having sneaky thoughts.

One by one, they began looking around slyly.

Lin Yi naturally noticed these individuals’ behavior.

But he said nothing since the others hadn’t acted yet; he wouldn’t bother about it.

He wants to wait, wait until these individuals make some wrongful moves, and then directly make an example of them.

Perhaps seeing that only half of the soldiers had left, with a full 5000 still guarding, made those initially scheming people quietly dispel their intentions.

There’s no way; even if they fought with all their might, they couldn’t escape from those people, considering their numbers were overwhelming. Even with two people guarding one, there were still extras.

As time passed bit by bit, with half an hour gone by, several squads began returning.

Behind them followed a large group of commoners.

They had all been notified by the soldiers and arrived here one by one.

Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone had grievances; they came to see the spectacle.

After all, watching spectacles has been a beloved tradition for people since ancient times.

If there’s a spectacle here, how could they miss out?

Lin Yi said nothing about this because seeing the spectacle was precisely what he wanted.

Only when everyone knows can the situation spread faster; only when the matter of shooting arrows spreads quickly can those worms within Zhe Da Youguo retract their contemptuous faces quickly.

Only when they behave for a while can Lin Yi have a chance to breathe, a chance to cultivate talents.

After waiting for nearly another hour, the scene now was tightly surrounded by people on all sides; glancing roughly, Lin Yi found that there were more than thirty thousand people gathered.

And this number was about half of the population of East County City.

Indeed, the total number of people in the East County City was only seventy or eighty thousand.

After all, we are currently in ancient society, unlike later generations where even a third-tier city has several million people now.

Currently, a city with ten thousand people already counts as a considerably large city.

After all, the total population number now is vast, not many can be distributed inside each city.

Yet this East County City, with over seventy thousand people, counts as a very sizable city, plus the surrounding populace which hints at roughly eighty to ninety thousand, all thanks to its proximity to the Capital City, borrowing its glow, you could say.

If it were a more remote city, having even one or two thousand people would already be considered good.

Seeing the people gathering, Lin Yi directly stood on the hastily built podium, with an extra item in his hand.

If someone familiar with him saw it, they would be shocked to find that it was indeed a loudspeaker.

Indeed, this thing was a loudspeaker,

In the past, when Lin Yi stood on the city walls of Shanhaiguan facing the cavalry of the Yan Country, he also used such a device.

At the time, he used it to shout at the soldiers of the Yan army; the effect was evident, leaving everyone incredibly shaken.

Now, Lin Yi took it out, and clearly, it will also leave all the commoners incredibly shaken.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the dense crowd below, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

After all, this time was different from all previous times.

In the past, besides facing his employees, he faced soldiers or enemy troops.

This time he was facing his subjects, and in essence, he was now the master of all these people.

Climbing down in this posture, facing everyone with this mindset, inevitably makes him quite excited.

But soon, Lin Yi adjusted his feelings and concisely narrated the events happening here to everyone, while also introducing his identity.

When everyone learned that the person in front of them was indeed the current Emperor, everyone froze instantly.

At once, they couldn’t help but fall to their knees, starting to greet the Emperor.

After all, in their eyes, in the hearts of the common folk, the Emperor is always a lofty figure. They never imagined that one day they could see the Emperor with their own eyes, even hear the Emperor’s voice,

this was something incredibly unbelievable to them, and after hearing Lin Yi narrate the day’s events, everyone was even more stunned.

Especially when looking at the figure tied to the flagpole,
