However, watching these people’s excited expressions and their ghostly wails, Lin Yi in the corner furrowed his brows, his face terrifyingly sullen.

Initially, he had planned to recruit them, to use them for his own plans, but based on their recent behavior, not one of these people can be spared.

Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand, and instantly, a small camera appeared in his palm, and he started the scanning and photographing function to capture the faces of these individuals.

Then, after the war, they would face appropriate punishment, none of them could escape.

After all, the words these people spoke today, the actions they took, and the behavior they exhibited, had already sealed their fate.

Lin Yi would absolutely not allow such people to exist; he needed officials who were honest and upright and a military that cherished and protected the people like their children.

What good intentions could the ones thinking of plundering have? What good character?

Clearly, this is impossible, and for this reason, these individuals have already at this moment sealed their fate; they are destined not to meet a good end.

After a burst of laughter, everyone seemed as if they were on steroids. Those who were originally lacking in fighting spirit were now full of vigor, leaving cheerfully one by one.

After they left, Lin Yi naturally followed the crowd and walked out as well.

This time, he heard many plans, many of their intentions, and also verified many suspicions, which made him even more prepared for his upcoming plans.

After leaving, Lin Yi did not linger; he found a deserted corner, donned the Iron Man armor, and headed towards the next city.

He had already probed the inside story here, now he needed to go to another city and check out the situation there as well.

Thus, a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Yi had basically grasped the situation here, having a clear idea of about eighty to ninety percent of it.

He also now knew what this group of people was planning, and after finding this out, Lin Yi returned and convened a meeting.

However, unlike the meetings of those people, Lin Yi’s meeting was evidently much more formal.

Moreover, everyone’s expressions were very solemn, lacking the playful and frivolous faces seen in the Zhao Country military camp before.

This group’s mindset was also different; they were not thinking about invading Zhao Country’s people to seize their provisions and women, but only of protecting their own homeland peacefully.

The reason for this result was that Leng Yu had previously conducted a cleanup, removing those without character from the ranks.

Of course, this did not guarantee 100% that these individuals had no selfish motives or wouldn’t falter in the face of temptation, but at the very least, they had not shown any such behavior, which was already enough. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

What Lin Yi needed to do was to observe in the future to see what each person’s true nature was.

Whether they were suitable for the upcoming tasks, and if not, Lin Yi would consider gradually replacing them.

After the content of the meeting concluded, Lin Yi directly ordered the gathering of troops.

The troop organization Lin Yi needed was not to gather everyone together but to organize them into units of 500 people.

Those 500 soldiers would gather together, ready with various weapons and armor, waiting in an open area.

The reason for this approach was obvious.

Lin Yi wanted to transport them as units of 500 using aircraft, as a small aircraft could transport a maximum of only 500 individuals at one time.

He planned to deploy his forces unexpectedly, delivering them undetected outside of Suiyang City.

Then, catching the enemy off guard with a sudden strike, surrounding them completely, ensuring the intimidation effect would be maximized.

After clarifying these details, Lin Yi began moving again, arriving outside Shuiyang City, and started searching for a deployment point.

To conquer the opponent’s 50,000 troops in one strike, our side needed at least an equal or greater number of troops, more than 50,000, meaning finding a space large enough to accommodate 50,000 soldiers was essential.

Fortunately, during this era, society was not as developed as it would be, and there weren’t too many buildings.

It could be said, that outside Suiyang City lay vast primeval forests, and these places were perfect for ambushing troops.

Even more importantly, there weren’t many scouts here, meaning Zhao Country’s spies hadn’t arranged many in this location.

After all, between Suiyang City and Shanhai Pass, there was still a considerable distance, and along this distance were mostly steep mountains and ridges.

Even if the opponent indeed sent scouts here, they would not discover anything, or gain any valuable information, as their troops were all within the city.

As for what if the enemy dispatched a large army here? That was clearly unrealistic, and if a large army did approach, they would certainly detect it immediately.

After selecting this location, Lin Yi returned and summoned the small spacecraft, beginning to arrange for personnel boarding the craft.

Thus, he started transporting troops to the open space outside the city, one batch at a time, concealed in the dense forests which provided ample cover for their movements.

Additionally, perhaps due to the sudden influx of tens of thousands of troops into the city, the birds and beasts in this forested area had scattered without a trace.

This provided even greater convenience for concealing our forces.

Transporting 500 at a time, it took ten trips to move 5000 troops, requiring over a hundred round trips to bring all the troops over.

This extensive transport operation took a whole night, only concluding by the following day’s dawn.

As for how the troops would handle food supplies, provisions were already made before departure; each soldier carried enough dry rations for at least five days.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about provisions.

Regarding rest and sleep, there was even less concern; they could rest anywhere with ease, as it was midsummer at the time.
