"Well, okay, just come back. Let's go in first, there are no outsiders inside, only Elena is inside. With that, Bettina led Li Yi into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey, man, who the hell is this guy named Li Yi, Commander Bettina has never laughed when she came to our Yanlong Legion. I didn't expect to smile when I saw him, could it be that he is the old lover of our Bettina commander? After Li Yi followed Bettina into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, one guard said another.

"Shhhhhh You can't find death, it's time to dare to criticize the things between adults. Just keep your own post, and we can ask about other things. Another guard snapped to his companion. However, after finishing speaking, the guard couldn't help but show a little yd expression and whispered: "But according to me, what you said is not impossible." ”

Just when the two guards were gossiping boringly, Li Yi had already followed Bettina into the main hall. After coming in, Li Yi saw Elena with a sad face.

"Hello Miss Elena, visiting late at night, I hope it won't cause you any inconvenience." Facing Elena's gaze, Li Yi said politely.

"Li Yi, it's all at this time, don't be polite. Are you alone when you come back this time, why didn't they follow you into the city? Reluctantly interrupting Li Yi's polite words, Bettina cheered up a little and asked Li Yi.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, Li Yi opened his mouth and said to Bettina: "Yadi and Pat are helping my troops outside the city to suppress the formation, and now the situation outside the city is too complicated, and I can't bring my team into the city together, so I can only come first to find out the situation." ”

"Your team? Is that the army of 300 soldiers? Alas, let them hide outside the city for a while, now it is impossible to enter the city in this case. Don't let them go to other cities, in the current Zhongba Province, all the forces of the Yanlong Legion are concentrated in Xicheng. If they go to another city, they will only be in danger. Bettina didn't speak, but Alina sighed and sighed.

"Well, it's not a lot, but I have a team of more than 10,000 people. However, they were all cavalry, and since they couldn't compete head-on with the other side, I had to let them avoid them for the time being. Li Yi didn't mean to show off at all, he just told Sister Bettina about the troops he brought back this time.

"What? More than 10,000 already? Or are they all cavalry? Li Yi, I really didn't expect you to develop the army so quickly, I knew that I would lend you 30,000 horses at that time, in that case, when you come back this time, will you be able to bring us a million troops. Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina rarely made a joke.

"Hehe, just luck. I met my old subordinates in Jingchuan Province, and after discussing with him, I borrowed more than 10,000 people from him. It's just that I didn't expect that the enemy you Xicheng faced this time would be so difficult. The few people I brought back are not enough to fight each other. By the way, Brother Evan really died in battle? Although he didn't want to mention it, Li Yi still had to ask about Ai Wen's situation.

Hearing Li Yi's question about his eldest brother's situation, Elena's eyes turned red unconsciously. After all, Bettina has been practicing outside for many years, although she is also very sad, she still musters up a little spirit and says to Li Yi: "Well, in fact, this time the difficulty of Xicheng came too suddenly. I've heard from the eldest brother before, and some of the surrounding forces have always been angry about our Yanlong Legion's occupation of Xicheng. It's just that the strength of our Yanlong Legion has always been not weak, and they haven't made a move. But I didn't expect that this time, three legions would join forces and attack our Creek City at the same time. And he still picked my eldest brother Aiwen to escort grain and grass to other provinces to send food, and as a result, my eldest brother Aiwen fell into the enemy's encirclement and died on the battlefield. ”

"Alas, mourn. But I've heard before that your Yanlong Legion also has 200,000 troops. Now that all the troops have been gathered in Xicheng, then they should have the strength to fight the other party. Touching his nose, Li Yi didn't talk about Ai Wen anymore, but instead talked about the current battle situation.

Hearing Li Yi ask like this, Bettina sneered and said, "Actually, the situation in Xicheng is not particularly critical now, but the death of the eldest brother makes the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion very depressed. And the enemy is menacing this time, and the army is directly under the city of Xicheng. At such a time, we urgently need someone who can stabilize the morale of the military. Elena and I are both women, and Barack lacks the temperament of a leader. After thinking about it, I had to get you back, and I hope you can help me. ”

Hearing Bettina say this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the two embarrassed sisters in front of him, Li Yi said funny: "I really didn't expect that you called me back in such a hurry, just to stabilize my military heart." ”

Seeing Li Yi's appearance of smiling but not smiling, Bettina also reluctantly waved away the sadness on her face, squeezed out a smile and said to Li Yi: "This is also a way to do it, although the current Yanlong Legion is united in one heart, it has the same hatred for the enemy." But after all, the death of my eldest brother had a great impact on these soldiers. The soldiers who are now holding the city on the city walls are bent on tearing up the enemy and avenging the death of my eldest brother. But from the look in their eyes, I could also tell some of their worries about the future prospects of the Yanlong Legion. ”

Listening to Bettina's narration, Li Yi can now feel Bettina's embarrassment to some extent. As a five-fold powerhouse, although Bettina's strength is enough to intimidate her current subordinates. But after all, Bettina is a woman, and it has never been difficult for a woman's prestige to establish in the army.

Of course, Margaret was an exception, and her prestige among the Wu'an Legion far exceeded that of their waste husband and the waste monarch. But Margaret was able to do this, but it took more than ten years of silent efforts to get to where she is today.

And Margaret, as the leader of the Yanlong Legion who has just returned to the Yanlong Legion, can produce a majesty at this time, but it cannot be compared with Margaret's in the Wu'an Legion.

And although Elena has been working silently for the Yanlong Legion, but because she has been hiding behind Aven in the early years, she has been silently paying, so at this time, Elena's deterrent power in the army is not much higher than Bettina.

So looking at the Bettina sisters with an embarrassed face, Li Yi couldn't make a face to the two of them at this time. Touching his nose, Li Yi said lightly to Bettina: "Okay, then let's not talk about this for now." How many troops of the Yanlong Legion have gathered in Xicheng now? And the enemies in the outer cities of the city belong to which forces, what their strength is, and which provinces send troops from. ”

Since he was called here by Sister Bettina to be a shield, Li Yi could only face the scalp to come down to this errand. After all, at such a time, the other party can remember himself, and he can already see that the other party values him. And with Li Yi's character, he naturally didn't want to disappoint the two sisters.

So seeing that things couldn't be changed, Li Yi opened his mouth and asked about the specific situation in Xicheng now. After all, it is impossible to see the contrast between the strength of the enemy and the enemy just by looking at it with one's own eyes.

Hearing Li Yi ask about the current battle situation, Bettina obviously seemed a little out of luck. After giving Elena a look at the sitting side, Bettina turned and sat down.

Seeing Bettina's eyes, Elena also got up from her seat. Elena is also obviously much more mentally strong than Bettina, although Evan's death has been a big blow to both sisters. But at this time, Elena was obviously much calmer than Bettina, and after getting up from her seat, although Elena did not smile at Li Yi, there was no sadness on her face.

Looking directly at Li Yi, Elena began to say softly: "The enemies besieging Xicheng this time are from Dongxing Province and Nanzong Province around Zhongba Province respectively. Among them, the Paz Legion of Nanzong Province was the main force in this attack on Xicheng, and among the coalition troops outside the city, there were enough of their 100,000 troops. The giant army and the Kaban army in Dongxing Province each sent 50,000 troops, and cooperated with the Paz army to form a siege of our Xicheng. ”

"Well, then, it seems that the Paz Legion has a covetous heart for Creek City, and now I don't know what means to use to make sense of the other two legions to help him attack the city together. Come to think of it, if Creek City is breached, the Paz Legion should give the other two legions a lot of benefits. Listening to Elena's story, Li Yi began to analyze slowly.

"Well, that's probably how it should be. In fact, we have known for a long time that the Paz Legion is obsessed with our Yanlong Legion's occupation of Creek City, and it was from them that my brother and I snatched the possession of Creek City. Over the years, the Paz Legion has been eyeing us here, but they have not taken the initiative because of their limited strength. But unexpectedly, this time they didn't know what method to use, and they even said that they had mobilized two other legions to help them attack us at the same time. Because of the haste to meet the enemy, the current military spirit of the Yanlong Legion is not stable. Speaking of which, Elena showed a little sadness for the first time.

"It's okay, since the other party has attacked, let's take it. Fortunately, we haven't been defeated yet, and I can see it when we fight outside the city during the day. Although the Paz Legion was menacing this time, at least for a short time, it was impossible for them to conquer Creek City. Actually, to be honest, I really can't figure out why the Paz Legion would put so much effort into doing such a thankless thing. Even if they finally conquer Xicheng, they will inevitably be greatly damaged. And then to give benefits to the other two legions, so that the losses of the Paz legion should be difficult to predict. Could it be that this Creek City really has such a great charm that other forces can pay such a big price to come and rob it? After Li Yi figured out the current situation, he finally began to be a little curious about the other party's intentions. In Li Yi's impression, no matter how great the charm of a city is, it should not make some forces pay such a price.

But in the face of Li Yi's question, Elena was much calmer. Pointing her finger at the map on the wall, Elena said lightly: "If you want to talk about the value of this Creek City, it is really worth making some other forces pay a big price to snatch it." Xicheng, as a granary-like existence in the southern realm of Say, is something that major forces want to occupy it. In fact, not only in the southern realm of Say, but also when our Sayy Empire was in its heyday, the value of Xicheng was incomparable to other forces. Especially at this moment, there is a famine on the part of the entire Sayy Empire this year. In many places, production has been reduced, and in some places not even a pound of grain has been produced. And although Xicheng was also affected, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. If the grain produced by Xicheng this year is snatched away by other forces, then it can also solve a lot of problems. ”

After listening to Elena, Li Yi can finally understand the current situation. In this era of constant war, the importance of food is incomparable to that of anything else. If you want to conquer the city and conquer the city, if you don't have food as support, then it's just empty talk.

After thinking about this, Li Yi smiled and said to Elena: "Oh, if you tell me that, I can understand." It seems that this time, the two other two legions of the Paz Legion marched towards the Yanlong Legion for a reason, not just to invade your Yanlong Legion. So before Brother Ai Wen went to deliver food to other cities, it was also because other cities in Zhongba Province were also somewhat affected in this famine year this year. So, with the loss of some of the grain, how long can the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion eat the current grain stored in your Creek City? Also, how many troops are still in Xicheng. ”

"Although there was a famine this year, the grain production in Xicheng is still very sufficient. There are still 180,000 soldiers in the city, and if the food in the city wants to feed these 180,000 soldiers, it will be able to eat for at least two years. "Talking about the current situation in Xicheng City, Elena is still very relieved.

Hearing Elena's reply, Li Yi was also very satisfied. Although Xicheng is now surrounded by enemies, at least there are not many worries in Xicheng now. The only problem is that after learning that their leader was killed in battle, the soldier's momentum was somewhat affected.

After straightening out these questions, Li Yi opened his mouth and asked Elena: "So, what are you going to do with the danger of Xicheng this time?" Do you take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, or prepare to defend the city of Creek until you drag the enemy to death. ”

"Alas, now I'm messed up too. In fact, at such a time, I still want to defend the city to the death. After all, if we don't take advantage of the defense, it will be difficult to directly compete with the opponent's 200,000 army. Even if we can win in the end, we may end up with a lot of vitality. Speaking of the current situation, Elena said lightly.

"So, you still want to hold on to the city. Now that you have a plan in mind, why do you have to be sad. The scale of Creek City is very large, and among the cities I have seen, except for the King of Seine, which is the largest in this Creek City. With such an advantage, I believe that we can hold on to this enemy invasion. "After thinking about it, Li Yi also stuck to the city from the ground is the best solution now. After all, although the other party is menacing this time, in this year of famine, it is obviously impossible for them to besiege the city for a long time. And if the other party wants a quick victory, he will naturally risk the lives of his own soldiers.

Therefore, as long as the Yanlong Legion can defend the city this time, it is no problem to defend Xicheng if the gap between the two sides is not very large. But looking at the Bettina sisters with a sad face now, Li Yi couldn't figure out why the two women who were not stupid were at a loss when the trend of things was so clear.
