Chapter 1243: Consequences would be unimaginable

"Our enemy has already begun to close in on the North City District; it is estimated that by early tomorrow morning, they will be able to arrive at the North City District," Zhang Liao said.

"We had already anticipated this situation," Gu Yi nodded.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Our current situation is like a turtle in a jar; they can pinch us however they want! We must make preparations now; no matter who comes to attack, we must respond with all our might!" Gu Yi said solemnly.

"I understand!" Zhao Yun nodded and agreed.

"En, you go get busy; notify me if there is news," Gu Yi said. "I am more at ease leaving this matter to you to handle."

"Alright, then I will withdraw first," Zhao Yun bowed and said.

"Wait!" Gu Yi suddenly called out to him.

"My lord, please instruct!" Zhao Yun asked.

"By the way, I heard that the wild beasts in that big mountain in the North City District are very powerful and can even breathe fire; I hope you will take my personal guards and clear that place out!" Gu Yi instructed.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order!"

"Go."

"Yes!"

"My lord, we have already set up defenses on the west side of the North City District; we only need another five or six hours, and we will be able to arrive at the destination," Li Yan said excitedly.

"Very good!" Gu Yi nodded.

"This way we will be able to completely grasp the situation of the battlefield, and it can be considered as having more ample preparation time," Li Yan said.

"Correct, as long as we can take down the North City District tomorrow morning, then we can rescue all the captives before dark!" Gu Yi said. "And by then we won't need to worry about the grain problem!"

"My lord is wise!" Li Yan clasped his fists and said.

"Alright, you don't need to flatter me; go get busy with your work!" Gu Yi said.

"Yes, my lord!" Li Yan responded. "This subordinate takes his leave!"

"En!"

After Li Yan left, Gu Yi began to meditate with his eyes closed inside the tent.

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Gu Yi was startled awake.

He rubbed his eyes and then opened them, looking at his surroundings.

At this moment, the place where they were located was less than three hundred meters from the North City District, and their soldiers were all busy.

"Brothers, keep it up! Our task is to hold the North City District; we absolutely cannot let the enemy succeed!" Gu Yi shouted loudly.

"Yes, my lord!" The personal guards shouted loudly, their voices incomparably resonant.

"Alright!" Gu Yi roared. "Tonight, we will let them know that we are not to be trifled with!"

Gu Yi's eyes flashed with essence; he had already decided that he would personally lead the troops to meet the enemy army!

"Report, my lord, a large-scale rebellion has occurred in the North City District!"

Just at this moment, a scout flew over, knelt on the ground, and reported loudly.

"Rebellion?"

Hearing this, Gu Yi's brows furrowed.

At this moment, Gu Yi suddenly thought of one thing, and his brows immediately smoothed out.

"I forgot; those people simply do not know our plan. They must think our grain is insufficient, so they would take the initiative to attack; they simply did not consider our grain problem," Gu Yi sneered.

"My lord is wise!"

Inside the tent, the personal guards praised one after another.

Gu Yi waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down; his face was full of solemnity.

"What I am worried about now is, if our grain is insufficient, they will kill all our soldiers; if that happens, we will have no way to block them!" Gu Yi said with a frown. ===== CHAPTER 1244 =====
