Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Appearance
“Under no circumstances should you compromise your safety, you must come back to me alive.”
The Young Emperor burrowed into Lin Yi’s embrace, eyes brimming with worry,
and spoke these words in a faint voice.
However, the voice was so low that Lin Yi could barely hear it clearly.
“Your Majesty, what did you say?”
This wasn’t Lin Yi’s fault; his Armor rattled so loud from the friction of the Silver Armor that it drowned out the Young Emperor’s faint murmur.
When Lin Yi asked again, the Young Emperor didn’t respond, but stepped out of his embrace and looked at him with a serious expression:
“Go, and do not disappoint me.”
Seeing the solemn expression on his face, Lin Yi nodded gravely.
He then managed a relaxed smile, reached out and gently pinched the other’s smooth cheek:
“Don’t worry, in this world, there is no one born yet who can hurt me.”
After saying this, Lin Yi’s eyes fleetingly passed over Ying Yi beside him, his face also filled with a trace of concern.
Although he hid it well, the worry in his eyes was unmistakable and Lin Yi noticed it.
But since the Young Emperor was present, Lin Yi couldn’t act too freely.
After giving Ying Yi a reassuring look, he turned and left the Imperial Study Room.
With Lin Yi’s departure, the Young Emperor’s tense expression also filled with worry.
Seeing this, Ying Yi knew very well the Emperor was extremely concerned about Lin Yi.
However, there was no choice; there were so few people the Emperor could rely on now, and even fewer who could win battles against greater numbers.
All hopes were now pinned on Lin Yi.
Only if Lin Yi earns fame from this battle, can he truly secure his position at court.
And Lin Yi was aware of this.
As such, this battle was not only external but also internal.
“This scoundrel is becoming more presumptuous, even daring to pinch my cheek.
Hmph, after he finishes this battle, see how I will deal with him.
I will set up on the city tower, wanting to see this scoundrel rise myself!”
The Young Emperor took a deep breath and, without turning his head, said to Ying Yi beside him.
Upon hearing this, Ying Yi immediately nodded and left to arrange everything.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi, dressed in Bright Silver Armor, walked out of the Imperial Study Room, and the surrounding Soldiers stood up straight instantly, their spirits uplifted.
Previously he was always in official robes, already very dashing.
But now in Armor, he looked even more heroic, truly a born Divine General.
To every Soldier, Lin Yi seemed like a Heavenly God descended to earth.
Such an aura was not something ordinary people could possess.
Who would have thought this eunuch him bore such a presence.
Everyone felt a certain pity for Lin Yi in their hearts.
Such a heroic figure, yet a eunuch, unable to have his own descendants, which was indeed a sad matter.
Imagine, if he weren’t a eunuch, he would surely reach the position of a First Grade Great General.
Then, who could rival his glory?
But, no matter how regrettable, this matter could not be changed.
The parts cut off, couldn’t be reattached, could they?
Wearing the Bright Silver Armor walking on the main road of the Imperial Palace, Lin Yi felt exceptionally refreshed.
Unexpectedly, despite the Armor looking cumbersome, it felt different when worn.
At the very least, the inherent buff from it had qualitatively leaped his aura.
Even now, in this Armor, it boosted his confidence.
Although he knew the Armor was just for show, and could not truly withstand a Bullet from Firearms at close range.
But aside from Firearms, in the current battlefield, it was an absolute weapon.
Even the most powerful arrows would likely fail to penetrate such Armor.
Of course, that said nothing of a Crossbow, but for today’s small-scale skirmish, such things as Crossbows, even bows, were nonexistent.
Taking these barbarians as an example, although they brought a few bows and arrows, it was not their main weapon, but rather their Scimitars.
In today’s battle, they would definitely focus on Scimitars.
As for bows and arrows, they disdained using them.
After all, for the soldiers of You Country today, these barbarians were hardly worth considering.
Dealing with them was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Even now, every one of their faces was filled with excitement, eagerly shouting around the outskirts of the training ground.
Indeed, these barbarians had already reached the outskirts of the grounds, and in a not-so-far clearing, they had started cooking.
Of course, they weren’t cooking rice, but had set up bonfires, skewering goats they hunted, roasting them over charcoal.
This was why their physique was superior to those from You Country.
After all, their dietary habits were vastly different from those of the Central Plains; calling them barbaric was not an overstatement.
Currently, Agusi, chewing on a roasted lamb leg, scanned the surrounding city walls.
“Strange, it’s already this time, and we still don’t know which army they will send to compete with us.
Could it be they have some hidden forces?”
Hearing this, Sun Heng also furrowed his brows.
In his hands was not a lamb leg, but a bowl of plain rice porridge he had stewed separately.
Although he had grown up on the Grassland, he hadn’t changed the habits of the Central Plains people.
Thus, while the others roasted meat, he opted for something lighter.
“I don’t know what tricks these You Country people are playing.
But rest assured, no matter how powerful they are, they won’t be a match for our Grassland warriors.”
However, just as they were discussing, occasionally glancing toward the city wall, suddenly, the city gates swung open.
Following that, a group in strange attire marched out.
