In response, Lin Yi was in no hurry. He simply looked at the other party calmly, waiting for an answer. He wanted the old man to realize the gravity of the situation on his own. Only then would he willingly work for him.
Of course, it didn't mean that after the old man led the troops back, Lin Yi could entirely trust him with the army. Otherwise, it wouldn't be hard for this guy to simply take the troops and flee.
If he did escape, it would be much more difficult to capture them again.
At this moment, the old man was also contemplating this matter, weighing the consideration of fleeing. He wondered about the likelihood of agreeing to the other party's terms now, and then escaping back with the troops.
He knew well enough that the other party wouldn't give him too many opportunities to exploit. Since the terms were proposed, there would inevitably be means to control him.
But right now, aside from agreeing, he really didn't know what else to do. How could he possibly escape?
