Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1148 - 1085: Yansai City (Part 2)

And what he needed to do was to have this old man take him to find the personnel over there, identify who exactly the Grand General from the Yan Country was this time, and then subdue him just like this old man, and then have him lead the way to slay all the way over there.

With their Grand General leading the way, they would surely be unstoppable, sweeping through to the capital of the Yan Country, capturing their Royal Capital just like they did with this Zhao Country.

Of course, the old man did not plan to take too many people, as taking too many would be just a burden.

So he sent Leng Yu back to the You Country, and then set off with the old man.

The reason for not leaving Leng Yu within the Zhao Country was that he didn’t feel secure leaving Leng Yu there; it simply wasn’t as safe as You Country originally was.

For Lin Yi, he would rather lose a country than lose Leng Yu, nor would he want Leng Yu to be in the slightest danger.

After handling everything on this side, Lin Yi took the old man directly towards the Yan Country.

And the old man once again experienced the sensation of flying.

This feeling made the old man ecstatic, and he, already used to flying, no longer resisted it in the slightest, no longer being timid and afraid as before.

Especially after Lin Yi provided him with a set of attire meant specifically for flying, this guy became even more excited.

Even if Lin Yi wanted to get on a helicopter, he would never agree; he would shamelessly beg Lin Yi to take him flying in Iron Man’s armor, after all, that feeling was the most real.

Sometimes the old man even wondered if he could get his hands on a pair of wings or something similar and attach it to his back, would he then be like a bird?

The flight attire Lin Yi provided for the old man was officially a wingsuit, a specialized garment for flying, enabling the arms to extend out forming an effective wing-like structure, allowing the old man to thoroughly enjoy himself, floating up, down, left, and right within the bounds of the rope.

He even begged Lin Yi to extend the rope much longer, allowing him a greater range of motion.

To all this, Lin Yi was rather helpless yet amused.

After providing this guy a 30-meter long rope, he was having the time of his life.

Lin Yi flew in the front, and this guy chased from behind.

Occasionally, he would be above Lin Yi’s head, occasionally below him.

Of course, trying to surpass Lin Yi was unrealistic since he had no source of power, so he could only be guided by Lin Yi, relying on the flying angle to adjust his flying posture.

The flight headed directly towards the outermost city of the Yan Country, which is Yansai City at the very edge with the Zhao Country.

According to the old man, for the Yan country’s army to set out, they must gather here first.

As for whether there were people here now, according to the old man, that was a certainty.

The commotion on this side was so great, the other side couldn’t possibly be unaware, and once they were aware, they would surely redeploy all the forces within Zhao Country’s territory.

The Yan Army originally intending to join the Zhao Army, fearing, may have been pulled back by now, right?

This fact is corroborated not only from the old man’s analysis but also from what Lin Yi learned from Leng Yu, that all troops outside the dozens of cities confronting the You Country have already retreated.

This further suggests that they were evidently aware of the turmoil happening in Zhao Country. However, whether they knew it was Lin Yi’s doing, that remains unknown.

In any event, they must know that there was a change within Zhao Country’s Royal Family, possibly thinking it was internal conflict.

It was clear though that they were also aware the You Country Emperor was replaced, and the You Country’s army had changed, becoming totally different from before.

Moreover, without the cooperation of the Zhao Country Army, wanting to take over You Country with their power alone had become an unrealistic goal.

It’s quite likely that King Yan was there cursing angrily, probably already cursing King Zhao thoroughly.

And this assumption was not far from the truth, as King Yan had indeed cursed the Zhao Family ancestors up to eight generations.

That kind of conduct had never been seen before, the army had already set out and was in a difficult position, yet the opponent chose to withdraw, and even brought the troops back to Zhao Country’s Imperial City, such events were unheard of!

This time, it was heard that the person sent to lead the army was their Eldest Prince.

In the current situation, according to King Yan’s speculation, the Eldest Prince was preparing to rebel, trying to use military power to seize the throne.

This also made him wary of his own sons.

His sons fought fiercely for position on a normal day, now, after the precedent Zhao Country set, it would only encourage them to hatch similar ideas, something he could not allow!

The throne had not yet exhausted his interest, and he would not hand it over to those sons of his.

As long as he breathed, he would not relinquish the throne.

Because of this, he was already considering whether to revoke all the military power held by his sons.

At that moment, just as he drew back the troops to Yansai City, Lin Yi along with Lu were already arriving outside Yansai City.

Looking at the towering and sturdy Yansai City, Lin Yi couldn’t help lamenting that indeed the strength of the Yan Country was not weak, even if they had fewer cities than You Country.

But definitely wealthier, just by looking at the grand size of this city; it was built nearly twice as tall as You Country’s cities.

A city with such expense was indeed an astronomical figure.

Because of this, Lin Yi could observe that Yan Country was likely developing rapidly at present, with a population growing considerably, indicating too much density within the UK’s original territory.

Hence, their urge to invade the You Country.

Conquering You Country, they could then channel their population, alleviating their own population pressure.

However, the population issue plaguing the Yan Country was, for Lin Yi, a happy matter.

Since once having conquered the Yan Country, this population would become his, allowing for complete redistribution.

Redistributing this entire population would swiftly make the originally sparse countries come alive.

Standing outside Yansai City, one could hear the battle cries and horse whinnies from within.

This instantly confirmed for Lin Yi that there was indeed a huge number of people inside; clearly the large army had retreated here, and upon raising into the sky to view inside, Lin Yi verified this.

The city was not only grandly built outside but also extraordinarily spacious inside, accommodating nearly 50,000 troops.

Not just that, inside, these 50,000 troops didn’t even look cramped; if it were You Country or Zhao Country, it would have been impossible for these 50,000 troops to station inside the city. They would have camped outside, for the city couldn’t house so many.

Moreover, Lin Yi began pondering if an army sought to attack such a city, no matter how many came, it would be futile; stationed were 50,000 troops, wouldn’t it take several times that to breach?

Especially given the towering city, with a height of fifteen to sixteen meters, compared to cities under ten meters high in You Country, it was much harder to attack.
