Leng Yu expressed her desire for Lin Yi to live with her in a new residence, which he reluctantly agreed to. She then questioned her promotion to Grand General, speculating that the Prince of You might be using her to lure Lin Yi to the Capital City, leading her to urge him to reconsider his journey there.

The imagined plot seems to have strayed significantly. How did it come to sound like King Yu is plotting against me?

If King Yu were not me, I would genuinely become suspicious, wouldn't I?

I might even feel anxious?

After all, as Leng Yu mentioned, everything does appear to be a bit unusual, and I underestimated the gravity of the situation.

I never anticipated this young lady would possess so many hidden thoughts initially.

Especially now, contemplating it makes things somewhat terrifying, leaving Lin Yi feeling both amused and helpless.

Had I foreseen this earlier, it would have been wiser to summon this girl to the Capital City first, and then directly bestow the reward upon Leng Yu in the presence of the assembled ministers. This approach would have made it easier for Leng Yu to accept.

But now, it is clearly too late to say anything; the situation has progressed to this point and cannot be altered.

Concurrently, Lin harbors no regrets; this is precisely the outcome he desired to witness.

Particularly after observing Leng Yu’s reaction and listening to her words, Lin Yi’s anticipation grows regarding her response when she finally learns the truth.

In a fleeting moment, he increases the helicopter's speed.

"Worry not. Let us set aside his true motives or whether his objective is indeed as you surmise, targeting me.

However, you must grasp one fundamental truth: what is my genuine identity?

Disregard a mere king like Yu; even if all the kings of the world united, do you imagine I would feel any fear?

Or, if all their combined military might were amassed, would I be apprehensive to confront them alone?

Haha, cease these overthinking tendencies. Simply concentrate on how to relish life once you assume your official duties."

With that statement, Lin Yi paused briefly, as if recalling something, then swiftly turned and addressed Leng Yu:

"Ah, yes, I nearly forgot to mention something crucial. I have had reports indicating that Yan Soldiers are causing disturbances in our Dayou Country's cities. Over twenty city strongholds have experienced unrest, and they are advancing on our cities from various directions.

Fortunately, our troop numbers are substantial, preventing them from making significant headway thus far. Nevertheless, this precarious situation cannot persist indefinitely, as the garrisons within the cities are limited to tens of thousands.

Under relentless enemy assaults, our soldiers will not receive adequate rest. If this continues, errors are bound to occur.

You should give this matter serious consideration; King Yu might inquire about it.

Furthermore, with your imminent appointment as Grand General, it is highly probable that this critical issue will fall under your jurisdiction."

Delivering so much information in a single breath left Leng Yu somewhat bewildered. As the Garrison General of the Border Army, she was completely unaware of these developments.

Her knowledge extended only to the Yan Soldiers being repelled from her own sector; any attacks on other city strongholds within Dayou Country were beyond her awareness.

Moreover, with her father's demise in battle and the subsequent dispersal of the Border Army, they lacked reliable messengers and scouts, rendering them oblivious to the broader military situation.

Hearing Lin Yi's current words, Leng Yu's brows drew together in concern.

Pondering his statement, she realized the distinct possibility of such a scenario. As the newly designated Grand General of Dayou Country, the responsibility of leading troops into battle would naturally fall upon her shoulders.

Her mind began strategizing; if the situation were indeed as Lin Yi described, with over ten city strongholds harassed by Yan Soldiers, what would be her immediate course of action?

The initial step would undoubtedly involve dispatching reinforcements, followed by the crucial objective of completely repelling the invaders.

While this sounds straightforward, it is in reality a profoundly challenging endeavor; otherwise, the Yan Soldiers would have been vanquished long ago.

Observing Leng Yu's brow furrowed in intense contemplation, Lin Yi refrained from further remarks, redirecting his focus entirely to piloting the helicopter.

Despite the helicopter's advanced computer control, which theoretically only requires destination input without extensive manual operation, one must not forget the context of this ancient era. In an age devoid of satellites, navigation presents a near-insurmountable obstacle unless Lin Yi were to deploy a short-range radio device.

Of course, it is not to say that launching a satellite into orbit is an impossibility under present conditions; within Lin Yi's System Space resides an extraordinarily advanced spacecraft, making interstellar travel a tangible reality with that Starship.

However, a critical point to consider is that even if a satellite were successfully placed in orbit, what about the necessary ground receiving stations?

How would one even begin to construct them?

It represents an insurmountable task for Lin alone, as the required technology is vastly beyond current capabilities; even if he fully grasped the underlying principles, imparting that knowledge to the populace today is nearly inconceivable.

This is especially true given the populace's limited educational background; basic literacy itself is a considerable hurdle, let alone the complexities of scientific understanding.

Establishing communication infrastructure without ground support stations presents immense challenges, rendering it nearly impossible. Launching a satellite into orbit without maintenance means it will eventually become useless space debris; practical application remains beyond reach. Such an undertaking is, at best, a multi-generational project.

Even with Lin Yi's supernatural assistance from the system, achieving this feat within a mere handful of years is unrealistic. Lin Yi estimates that cultivating the initial group of highly skilled individuals would necessitate at least two decades of focused effort.

This twenty-year timeframe is allocated for nurturing a cadre of elite talents from their formative years, rigorously training them until they possess the capability to handle any situation with complete self-reliance.

Such development is a gradual progression, devoid of any quick fixes or shortcuts.

After all, not everyone is blessed with a system like Lin Yi's.

Therefore, at present, the helicopter's operational capabilities are contingent upon the system integrated within the Iron Man Armor.

Actual piloting and control, however, still depend entirely on Lin Yi's direct manual input.
