Leng Yu, naturally, would not be in a hurry to depart at this juncture, for the following day held profound significance. That very day, Lin Yi was slated to officially assume the mantle of Emperor for the Dayou Country. Even for Lin Yi, who had experienced two lifetimes, a surge of excitement was palpable when contemplating this pivotal event. After all, what man does not harbor an emperor’s ambition? Yet, his heart now ached with an intense longing for his wife and children. If only Xiao Zihan and Xiaoluo Ning could be present, it would truly mark the dawn of a man's ultimate dream. Xiao Zihan, undoubtedly, would reign as Empress, while Xiaoluo Ning would be bestowed the title of Eldest Princess, the cherished firstborn of the Dayou Country. Such a scenario would represent unparalleled bliss. However, fate does not always align with personal wishes. With everyone else departed, Lin Yi remained, leaning against the dragon throne. Closing his eyes, he delved into profound introspection. Simultaneously, a silent plea escaped his lips: that upon his ascension tomorrow, his system would miraculously reset and regain its lost vitality. This prolonged period of deprivation was, frankly, unbearable for Lin Yi. The excruciating pangs of yearning had pushed him to the brink of collapse. Were it not for the manifold responsibilities that occupied his time, preventing him from succumbing to constant reflection, he might not have persevered. Indeed, such longing is almost unfathomable, especially considering Xiaoluo Ning's tender youth. As tomorrow heralded the enthronement ceremony and Leng Yu had already reached the Capital City today, he would not be returning to the Border Army Camp tonight. Instead, Lin Yi intended to escort Leng Yu back on the morrow. Naturally, this escort served a strategic purpose: to initiate preliminary preparations at the camp. In truth, Lin Yi had omitted a crucial detail from his ministers and had also kept it from Leng Yu moments ago. This detail concerned the logistics of troop deployment. While transporting soldiers in smaller contingents might circumvent many watchful eyes, it could not guarantee complete secrecy from all covetous gazes. Maintaining discretion would prove challenging under such circumstances. Therefore, Lin Yi considered employing advanced, high-technology methods for this operation. For instance, regarding the transport of these troops, he had just clearly outlined the plan to Leng Yu. Once the Border Army Camp was suitably prepared, a compact spaceship would be summoned. Subsequently, this small spaceship would be utilized for clandestine troop movements. Despite its compact size, each transport via this spaceship could undoubtedly accommodate over a thousand soldiers. A thousand individuals per trip, multiplied by ten, would equate to ten thousand. Consequently, the entire army of 200,000 would require a mere 200 trips for complete relocation. While two hundred trips might initially seem substantial, the actual operation would see each journey completed in approximately one hour, assuming time was allocated for boarding and disembarking procedures. If solely considering flight time, each trip would certainly take less than five minutes. Although the Iron Man Armor possessed remarkable speed, the spaceship's velocity was equally impressive. After all, this spaceship was a component disassembled from a larger vessel. Even though his system was currently inaccessible, the System Space itself remained fully functional. Had Lin Yi not been concerned about the colossal size of the main spaceship causing undue alarm, he would have deployed it directly. A single deployment from that behemoth could transport ten thousand soldiers. The current situation differed from their prior lunar expedition; at that time, ample supplies were a necessity. Now, however, Lin Yi could situate all the spaceship's provisions within the System Space. This would allow for the complete clearing of the spaceship's interior, maximizing capacity for personnel in every available area. Of course, Lin Yi was merely contemplating this hypothetical scenario and had no concrete plans to utilize the main spaceship for troop transport. The technology it housed was far too advanced, and many of its functionalities were best concealed from the current populace. Furthermore, the objective extended beyond merely relocating troops to the Border Army Camp. Lin Yi also intended to leverage the small spaceship for subsequent maneuvers. With its deployment, troop insertion could be executed directly into the heartland of the Zhao Country. Landing two thousand soldiers right in the Zhao Kingdom's capital would undoubtedly send shockwaves through their ranks. Precisely, this was Lin Yi's calculated strategy. The 200,000-strong army would march forth from Shanhaiguan, positioning themselves directly beneath the cities of the Zhao Country, initiating overt provocations. Faced with such a blatant challenge, the forces marshaled within the Zhao Country would inevitably respond. At that critical juncture, as the two armies engaged in confrontation, the rear of the Zhao forces would naturally become exposed. This vulnerability would extend not only to the Zhao Country's defenses but also to the seemingly secure Capital City of Dayou Country. However, with all our troops committed to the front lines, no one would be able to divert attention to the rear, thus ensuring its perceived safety. It was during this window of perceived security that Lin Yi planned to lead the cavalry deep into the enemy's rear, ensuring a swift and devastating surprise attack, leaving them utterly incapable of mounting a defense.
It's quite possible that the enemy king was apprehended during the clash of the two large forces.
Because this method was so straightforward, Lin Yi had never truly concerned himself with such matters.
Neither the Zhao Country nor the Yan Country were considered significant threats or even targets in his eyes; his ambitions encompassed the entire world.
As previously stated, tackling any single nation would have been a remarkably simple undertaking for him.
A swift flyover in an armed helicopter, unleashing a barrage of fire and a few air-to-ground missiles upon their city, would have been enough to conquer it effortlessly.
He could even confront and defeat tens of thousands of enemy soldiers single-handedly.
Consider this: what could an army of tens of thousands, grounded below, possibly do against a helicopter soaring through the sky?
The most advanced weaponry they possessed were spears and short swords; how could these possibly reach an aircraft?
Even formidable crossbows have their limitations in range.
Firing towards the sky, a few hundred meters would be an impressive maximum altitude.
However, helicopters operate at altitudes of thousands of meters. At such heights, what kind of crossbow bolt could possibly pose a threat?
Setting aside standard crossbows, even the mighty ballistae mounted on city walls have a limited vertical range.
To even attempt to strike a helicopter with such a weapon would be utter foolishness.
This was the very foundation of Lin Yi's unwavering confidence.
