Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 781 - 736: Accepting the Challenge
I have to say, the momentum from these people shouting in unison is indeed quite significant, Lin Yi only feels his ears buzzing from the shouts.
However, despite the constant buzzing in his ears, Lin Yi is genuinely moved.
These people, strangers to him, are willing to entrust all their lives to him because of just one word he said.
This is not something that can be achieved merely by words; what kind of trust, what kind of belief in oneself this is.
Looking at it from another perspective, if this situation were reversed upon myself, would I entrust my life into someone else's hands?
The answer is no, I definitely wouldn't do that. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Yet at this very moment, those behind me have done it.
All nearly 70 of them have done it.
At this moment, each of their eyes reveals a resolute expression.
Moreover, Lin Yi can feel that if he really failed, these people would indisputably jump off the city wall with him.
Even if jumping off meant facing death.
Not only is Lin Yi shocked, beneath him, Wu Gui's face unconsciously reveals a look of surprise as well.
He hadn't expected such cohesion within this Border Army unit, willing to risk death for the General's words.
Of course, while he admires them, he will not show mercy.
Faced with their repeated challenges of "Dog thieves dare to fight?", Wu Gui is overwhelmed with anger, his expression turning grim.
Looking at the young man in strange clothing on the tower, his gaze grows even colder as he shouts aloud:
"Ignorance is fearless, truly a fool who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If you wish to die so much, I shall fulfill your desire."
Though the words say this, suggesting he is accommodating them due to their request,
but actually, he is quite willing to see the current situation unfold.
After all, what stands before him now is a towering Great Wall.
Such walls, with merely these 100 cavalrymen, are obviously impossible to conquer.
Even if the opposition consists only of dozens of defeated soldiers without heavy weapons, it still isn't something these 100 cavalrymen can conquer.
If he couldn't conquer it, when the main force arrives and captures the wall, the credit in hand would vanish without a trace.
As for those few rounds of arrow rain, whether they can take out the opposition entirely - LOL, what a joke, the city wall also has defenses.
If those guys all hide behind the defenses, then he can't do anything to them.
As for climbing the wall, without the help of Cloud Ladders, how can these soldiers climb?
Originally, he had resolved that if he couldn't conquer, he would have to reluctantly abandon the credit and wait for the subsequent troops to arrive.
Of course, during this period, he also considered that when someone exposed themselves, he could kill one to gain one.
But never would he have thought that at this moment, under such circumstances, this young man in strange clothes would step forward, speak such words, and make a wager with him.
It's simply like being sleepy and someone offering a pillow.
If such an opportunity is not seized, then he would truly be a fool.
Of course, Wu Gui also has confidence in his success, hence agreeing.
It can be said without exaggeration, his combat power is indeed formidable.
Not to mention catching a Feathered Arrow with bare hands at a distance of 250 paces, even 200 paces would be no problem.
Moreover, Lin Yi's recent catch greatly boosted his confidence.
If even an arrow shot by such a Divine Archer could be caught, then why couldn't he?
Besides, upon observing, although the opposing young man is tall and handsome, his arms aren't as sturdy as his own.
This clearly shows his force strength is definitely inferior.
Moreover, it can be confirmed that he certainly isn't a Divine Archer.
The opponent's arrow may be incredibly accurate, but regarding force, Wu Gui is 100% sure it is inferior.
And in fact, it's just as Wu Gui predicted, Lin Yi's strength may be substantial, but not more than a modicum stronger than Wu Gui, yet he doesn't believe his accuracy is impeccable.
Such cold weapon bows and arrows cannot be mastered in a day; only through thousands of refinements one can become a Divine Archer.
He has never even touched such bows and arrows before.
Not even those Compound Crossbows in modern shooting ranges have he used before.
Precisely because of this, if asked to grab a bow and shoot an arrow toward the opponent, the arrow wouldn't need to be caught; it would surely fly in an unknown direction.
"Since you've made such a request, I won't say that General isn't giving you a chance.
Today, I shall catch your arrow, and if caught, I hope you honor your word and jump off the wall one by one.
By then, I can make a promise again to leave your bodies intact.
If you dare to renege on your promise, I can tell you here what awaits you will be dreadful.
Once we breach the wall, I will let you experience what it means to prefer death."
This is sheer threat.
The National Guardian Soldiers standing on the wall hearing these words show no change in expression.
After all, standing here already signifies handing over one's life, having seen through the life and death in front of us.
A man who fears not death, how could he fear a threat?
At this moment, the Deputy General beside Wu Gui, upon witnessing this situation, leans closer to Wu Gui and speaks softly:
"Centurion, now that these fellows are exposed right in front of us, should we rain arrows to take them all down?"
This fellow is indeed sinister.
Lin Yi and all his men are exposed to their view, under such circumstances, if they launch a volley of arrows, they'd surely claim many lives.
However, upon hearing this, Wu Gui's mouth slightly curls into a smile,
[To be continued...]
