This Overlord Doesn’t Care About Anything

Chapter 701: 49. End game

Views:

The wheels of history run over, the victors are high-spirited, and the losers die in depression.

Whether Li Yi accepts it or not, one cruel fact will not change: Yuxi City is coming.

He couldn't figure out why the situation suddenly reversed two levels when he followed Yunyang's army to attack Yuxi City a few months ago. The position of the lord under the buttocks has not yet been warmed up, and it is about to face the crisis of being laid off and re-employing. After thinking about it, he didn't understand what the turning point of this war was. He always felt that he had done nothing wrong, but the situation was indeed getting worse day by day.

After the "entire army was annihilated" by the Eastern Frontier Army, Yuxi City once again entered a short period of dormancy. Although Fang Shisan and Li De seemed relaxed, the Yunyang Frontier Army still put some pressure on them. The 5,000 people who were persuaded to surrender could not be directly incorporated into the army of Yuxi City, otherwise there would be hostility and exclusion within the army, so Yuxi City could only deploy a reserve team to make up for the casualties caused by that battle. The frontier army in Yunyang was pulled out for training alone, and worked together with other recruited soldiers to defend the city.

After Karpas was buried in Yuxi City, Takis, the general of the southern frontier army, declared neutrality. He declared to the outside that he did not want to be involved in the internal struggle of Yunyang, and that he did not want to use the hard-trained army for internal friction. So he will listen to whoever wins. Before that, he plans to stay on the border with his own army without any dispatch.

This kind of speech seems neutral, but in the current situation, it is basically equivalent to finding an excuse to seek refuge in Yuxi City. There are only a few armies that can fight, and the eastern frontier army is already dead and fleeing, and the southern frontier army chooses to continue to hold their breath, so it is only a matter of time before Yuxi City takes down Yunyang.

There is not much time left for Liyi.

There are not many choices before Li Yi.

When feeding Lord Yunyang medicine for the nth time, Li Yi's hand froze suddenly. He hesitated for a moment, instead of stuffing the medicine into the old man's mouth immediately, he fell into a short thought.

Li Yi was stunned for a long time when he heard the news that the entire army on the side of the East Road had been wiped out and that Yuxi City had not received a fatal blow. In his conception, if he does not supply supplies to the Eastern Frontier Army, the Eastern Frontier Army will definitely fight very hard, so Karpass will eventually lose both sides in the fight with Lied. In this way, he can not only solve the trouble of Yuxi City, but also find a reason to arrest and kill Karpass, which is completely a genius idea of killing two birds with one stone.

However, the final result was that Karpass was killed in battle, the Eastern Frontier Army was disbanded, and the delicate balance that existed in Yunyang was instantly broken. Li Yi's heart skipped a beat before he realized that something was wrong. In the past few days, he racked his brains to find a way to break the situation, but he has no countermeasures when he thinks of being bald.

When he saw Lord Yunyang, Li Yi's hands began to tremble a little.

After all, Dad has seen big scenes.

If he wakes up, will he be able to calm down the situation

At least I can make a bottom line for myself, and losing won't be so ugly...

Li Yi knew very well that if there was no external influence, Li De would soon start attacking Lingyun City. No one can stop them, and it won't take long for him to treat this Lord's Mansion as his back garden. Li Yi has no more cards to play, but Lord Yunyang has lived for so long and has seen all kinds of storms, maybe he still has a way...

Li Yi's hands trembled slightly. The eldest son of Yunyang, who grew up amid countless boasting and praises, couldn't imagine the feeling of falling into the sky. Even though there were many ups and downs in his past life, generally speaking, he was still moving upwards. From the son to the son to the lord, his status became more and more noble, and more and more people flattered him. Handing over the things that belonged to him was like killing him.

But the problem is that now he has to choose.

What he did to Li De back then is now well known, and after Li De took down Lingyun City, it was impossible not to retaliate against him. And the other way - letting Lord Yunyang wake up, also made Li Yi terrified, after all, Lord Yunyang was awake when the knife was stabbed down, if he was allowed to wake up like this, his current status would definitely be lost...

Liyi scratched her hair in pain, and sat in front of Lord Yunyang's bed, lost in thought for a long time.

As time passed, Lord Yunyang showed signs of waking up.

Li Yi knew this very well, and the hand holding the pill kept shaking, and finally let go of his hand at a certain moment, and the pill rolled to the ground. The next moment, a vigorous figure jumped out with a "swoosh", and a black cat who didn't know where it came from held the pill in its mouth and jumped onto the cabinet deftly.

"You bastard—"

Li Yi cursed, and planned to rush up to catch the black cat, but it was too late.

The black cat opened its mouth and swallowed the pill directly into its stomach.

Li Yi was gnashing his teeth angrily, staring at the drowsy black cat after taking the medicine, and when he was about to fetch another pill and come back, he suddenly felt a terrifying coercion coming from behind him like a tide. He turned his head hastily, and saw Lord Yunyang's tall body standing up, a pair of blood-colored eyes looking down at him coldly.

Liyi's knees softened, and he was about to kneel down, but Lord Yunyang's hands were faster.

With a big wave of his hand, he slapped Li Yi's face, and directly sent the son who had stabbed him in the back flying away. Li Yi was so terrified that he had no time to resist, his body spun and smashed into the wall, and after collapsing half of the wall, he fell down among the broken bricks and rubble, coughing blood non-stop. Lord Yunyang took a look at his trembling hands, ignored Li Yi who kept wailing, took a deep breath, and walked out.

Along the way, everyone in the lord's mansion knelt and worshiped, not daring to take a breath.

Lord Yunyang walked to his lord position, sat down, and only asked one question:

"Where are the frontier troops?"

The one who answered him was Asilante, the general of the northern frontier army who came hastily. After seeing Lord Yunyang, his face showed a bit of joy, he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said:

"The eastern frontier army was defeated by Fang Shisan not long ago, and the southern frontier army was neutral and unwilling to participate in the war... His subordinates are currently in charge of the defense of Lingyun City. Yunyang is in chaos, and the princes violently collected troops to make trouble, and Yuxi City took the opportunity to swallow up the nearby Banyunyang Territory! Please also preside over the situation... "

Lord Yunyang finished listening silently, looked at him, and said lightly:

"You are fine."

Asilante kowtowed endlessly.

Lord Yunyang said the second sentence to the outside of the Lord's mansion, and his tone was surprisingly calm:

"Next, do three things. First, go and break my son, Li Yi, who is not up to snuff, break his legs, lock him in a dark room... and then tell all over Yunyang that I will Second, let all the sons of Yunyang give up their military power and bring them all to me. If things are done well, they will have a chance to become the next son of Yunyang. Third, give the tower to the southern frontier army. Keith sent a letter, saying that I was awake, and told him to hurry up... Get over here!"
