Just like that, under Lin Yi’s lead, with his helicopter cutting through the sky, this group very quickly left the airspace above the Capital City.

After that, they headed all the way toward the border line adjacent to the National Guardian.

Watching the cities below slide backward, watching the Capital City grow farther and farther away underneath them, the old man finally felt his heart settle.

At this moment he was already able to completely put his mind at ease.

His own family and relatives had all been brought out; that alone was enough. At the very least, for now he had no more worries holding him back, and that was more important than anything else.

If, after he went back now, all these family members of his were still in his own hands, then add to that? A 70,000-strong army—his future would be limitless.

After all, as things stood, once the General marched out, his kin could not possibly remain under his control; doing what he was doing now was absolutely not allowed. Thinking of this, his heart practically bloomed with joy.

However, the helicopter kept flying straight toward the Border Army Camp, and just as they arrived over their Border Army’s station, there was still no sign of stopping.

This couldn’t help but stir doubt in the old man’s heart. Especially as he looked at the units of troops below, he even started wondering if Lin Yi had simply forgotten.

Could it be he didn’t know that down there was their own camp?

For a moment, he fell into constant doubt in his heart.

Perhaps Lin Yi was just too busy and simply hadn’t clearly seen the situation below.

So, he immediately opened his mouth to remind Lin Yi, telling him that the city below was the one they were stationed in.

Yet after hearing this, Lin Yi merely cast him a glance and didn’t respond, continuing to pilot the helicopter forward on his own.

At that, the old man felt a bit unsettled again, not knowing what exactly Lin Yi meant by this. As for whether Lin Yi had heard him, that was certain.

He had heard, but he simply didn’t reply.

This made the old man’s mind start working, trying to figure out what Lin Yi’s purpose was.

Why do this?

Was he trying to send him some kind of message?

You couldn’t blame him for overthinking; Lin Yi’s methods truly filled him with too much fear.

Facing someone like this, the only thing in his heart was how to curry favor with the other side, or rather, how to guess at the other side’s thoughts.

As for going against the man’s wishes, that was something he absolutely could not do, and would never dare to do.

Just like now: after he reminded Lin Yi once and the other didn’t respond, he didn’t dare say a second word, and could only sit there honestly, waiting for Lin Yi’s next move.

He believed that whatever the man did, there had to be a reason; it was definitely not on a whim, not with someone of his status.

The reason his identity kept being brought up was because Lin Yi’s status was indeed enough to keep these people in check.

Even now, the old man’s relatives on the helicopter didn’t know Lin Yi’s true methods, but after this period of flying, they too had been completely terrified.

Whether it was the methods Lin Yi had displayed, or the respectful attitude their master showed toward him, all of it made them not dare look down on Lin Yi in the slightest.

How could an ordinary person ever be treated with such importance by their master?

That was clearly impossible.

Precisely because of this, apart from some who were afraid of heights, what they felt now, more than anything, was fear of this mysterious man.

Only, their grandfather hadn’t told them anything, nor did he pay them any attention; they could only sit there silently, listening, watching.

Finally, in this kind of atmosphere, with the old man still filled with doubt, the helicopter once again arrived above a small city.

However, when the old man saw what was below, he couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Then he turned a gaze full of shock toward Lin Yi beside him, his lips trembling a few times, yet he couldn’t get a single word out.

What did he see? Naturally, he saw countless National Guardian Soldiers.

Right now, the place they had come to was precisely the location of the Border Army Camp.

Down below was where Leng Yu and the others were, and it wasn’t just them. Because the helicopter was flying so high, the scene below was crystal clear. Besides the personnel inside the main camp, there were countless troops stationed throughout the surrounding mountains and forests. Even with just a rough glance, there were already far more than his seventy thousand, which instantly left him dumbfounded.

Never mind a monstrous freak like Lin Yi— even without him, with just their own people, facing so many enemies, did they have any chance of victory?

Obviously that was unrealistic. And with the enemy relying on the advantage of high mountains and treacherous terrain, trying to use few to defeat many was absolutely possible.

In other words, as long as the enemy wished, they could even counterattack their side.

To be honest, he really had no idea when the other side had transferred in so many troops; this was something he had never imagined and it left him incomparably shaken.

He didn’t understand how the other side could have such a powerful troop-transport capacity, how the movements of so many people could possibly have slipped past their eyes.

Ridiculous, that they had always thought there were only a few thousand Garrison troops in this Shanhai Pass; ridiculous, that they had never taken this place seriously at all.
