Barak's authority apparently played a role, and Bettina nodded in agreement after hearing her brother's words.
Seeing that Bettina finally calmed down her emotions, everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Princess Bettina is a good person, to be honest, she really doesn't have that kind of leader temperament. If such a monarch is really followed, some of the people present really don't have any confidence in this matter.
However, as the most loyal dead soldier of the Say Empire, Ivan has no objections to this matter. As long as Bettina is alive in this world, they will follow her forever. Respectfully taking a few steps forward and walking to Bettina's side, Ivan bowed down and said to Bettina: "The little prince's words are true, princess, what we have to do now is to find out what is true in the city. Only after we know who we are and what we know can we come up with is the best solution. The last general is here to receive the order, and the task of this process exploration will be handed over to the last general. ”
Ivan's initiative to ask for help also made Bettina feel a little relieved again in a panic. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was only forty years old, and looking at the vicissitudes of life in his eyes that did not match his age, Bettina was full of admiration for this general who had been loyal to the Say Empire for decades.
But because of this, Bettina said calmly while being moved: "General Ivan, I will always remember your loyalty." I won't repeat the words of gratitude here. It's just that the situation in Xicheng is unclear now, and there will definitely be a lot of danger if you sneak in. The strength of the general is not very strong, so there is no need to take this risk. Leave the city visit to me. I know I'm not a qualified leader, but as a five-fold powerhouse, I can still handle this little thing. ”
Seeing Bettina reject her request, General Ivan was stunned at first. However, after a blink of an eye, Ivan said stubbornly again: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general knows that with his own strength, he naturally can't enter the princess's eyes, but this city exploration is indeed too dangerous, and the last general still doesn't approve of Her Royal Highness the princess taking this risk." Therefore, the last general thinks that it is better for me to take a few dead soldiers into the city to explore. ”
Ivan's stubbornness did not make Bettina give in, seeing Ivan so concerned about her comfort, although Bettina was happy, but this did not make Bettina change her mind. Slightly retracting the smile on her face, Bettina said to Ivan seriously: "General Ivan, I am here to tell you very seriously. You people are the greatest hope of our Sayy Empire right now, so I don't want to see any of you fall, because the Empire can't afford such a loss now. I am free to advocate the visit to the city, so you should not say more. ”
I didn't expect Bettina to be so strong, Ivan, who originally wanted to continue to speak, after seeing Bettina's face that had gradually become cold, finally did not choose to speak, and saluted Bettina again, Ivan said respectfully: "Thank you for Your Royal Highness Princess's concern, then your subordinates are here waiting for Her Royal Highness's good news, I hope the princess will be more careful, don't be careless." ”
"Well, I'll pay attention to that." Seeing that Ivan finally gave in, Bettina did not stretch her face, but said to Ivan with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Bettina turned her eyes to Li Yi and the others on the side. Bettina didn't let Ivan take people to Xicheng to inquire about the military situation, so she naturally pinned her hopes on Li Yi and others. After all, Bettina deeply knows what kind of energy Li Yi and these people have. To put it a little exaggeratedly, if it weren't for the fact that it had to be front-on, the strength of Li Yi and the others would have been able to compete with a team. Of course, Li Yi and the others can't really be compared with those ordinary soldiers, because these are fundamentally two situations.
But no matter what, the current Li Yi and the others are really the best candidates to go to Xicheng to find out the situation.
Seeing Bettina set her eyes on herself, Li Yi also shrugged her shoulders with interest, and then said to Bettina with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, leave this kind of thing to us, don't worry, it's not the first time I've done a sneak attack on the city wall." As he spoke, Li Yi couldn't help but recall the experience of joining the army in the Tianlan Empire and sneaking up on Poyang City.
Li Yi agreed to take on this problem so readily, and Bettina also had a lot of words left. For Li Yi to come forward at such a time, Bettina was naturally very happy in her heart. "Hehe, it's great to be able to do this. It's just that none of you know much about the topography of this Creek City. So I'm still going to follow you into the city, after all, if you have a guide, it can also add some security to the trip. ”
Hearing Bettina's suggestion, Li Yi wanted to refuse. But when he saw the resolute gaze in Bettina's eyes at this time, Li Yi immediately stopped the words that were about to be exported. Because Li Yi suddenly thought that Bettina took the initiative to ask to go into the city to explore, not only to reduce the loss on her side, but also because Bettina was very dissatisfied with her performance before, so she wanted to make herself feel more at ease through this visit to the city.
After thinking about this, Li Yi also took a few steps forward with a smile, and said to Bettina: "Okay, since you insist on asking to go, I won't say anything more." After finishing speaking, Li Yi turned around and said to Yadi and the others behind him: "Among you, who is going to go with me, this kind of good thing is rare in a century, hurry up and sign up, first come, first served." ”
Hearing Li Yi's joke, Bettina, who was originally a little nervous because she was going to explore the city, couldn't help but smile. Seeing Li Yi's fearless appearance, Bettina really felt that there would really be no danger if she selected a few people to visit the city among these five-fold powerhouses.
For Li Yi's joke, Yadi and Pat responded very much. Regardless of whether Li Yi was against or agreed, the two didn't say a word to Li Yi, and stood beside Bettina.
Seeing that the two of them were ready to go, Li Yi didn't feel anything wrong. Turning his gaze to Lincoln, Li Yi asked, "Why don't you go and have a look?" ”
"Hehe, I'm not going, I'm here, just in case." Lincoln smiled faintly, not seeming to be very interested in the matter.
In this regard, Li Yi also nodded understandingly. Then he turned around and walked to Bettina's side, and looked at Xicheng in the distance, Li Yi said lightly: "Come on, let's go and see what the situation is in this Xicheng." ”
Li Yi, Yadi, Bettina, Pat, among the four people, except for Pat's current weakness, the other three are all genuine five-fold powerhouses. In the face of such a terrifying city exploration team, I really don't know how the city defenders in Xicheng will deal with it.
Originally, Li Yi's plan was to wait until the evening, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and then go into the city to explore. After all, Li Yi is still not used to doing this kind of thing in broad daylight. It's just that Bettina's thoughts are on her sister, who is still uncertain about her life and death, and insists on setting off immediately. couldn't be stubborn with Bettina, Li Yi had no choice but to resign himself to taking the other three and staring at the scorching sun towards Xicheng.
But when Li Yi and his party were ready to break in, they were stunned to find that although there were few people in front of the city gate of Xicheng now, it was not a situation where the city gate was closed. And looking at this posture, it seems that the soldiers at the city gate do not have any strict checks on people entering and leaving the city. Seeing this situation, Li Yi couldn't help but touch his nose suspiciously, and then said to Yadi beside him: "Hey, Yadi, what do you say this will be." I couldn't see it from a distance before, but now that I can see it in real terms, I always think that this place has nothing to do with the war. If it weren't for the fact that the slightly dilapidated walls hadn't been repaired, I would have thought it would have been peaceful all along. ”
Hearing Li Yi's speculation, Yadi also shook his head helplessly. Staring at the pedestrians coming and going at the city gate suspiciously, Yadi also said uncertainly: "Looking at this situation, it seems that there is really no war." Bettina, are you sure you received information that your sister is in trouble in Creek City? Faced with this peaceful situation in front of her, Yadi finally couldn't help but ask Bettina again.
was asked by Yadi, and Bettina was also stunned. He immediately took out the bag from the storage ring, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then said to Yadi with certainty: "That's exactly what you said, don't believe it yourself." With that, Bettina handed the text message in her hand to Yadi.
But Yadi didn't take the text message, but said to Bettina with a dangerous smile: "Hehe, I just asked curiously, I didn't doubt your meaning, don't think about it." ”
"Well, now that they're all here, don't talk nonsense here. Staying in front of the city gates like ours will sooner or later be discovered by the soldiers of the city. Now that the gates are open, we don't have to sneak into the city. Why don't we enter through the main entrance generously, and as for what it is like inside, we will know it when we look inside. After speaking, Li Yi no longer did any procrastination, brushed the greasy hair in front of his forehead, and then walked towards Xicheng.
Seeing that Li Yi raised his feet and left as soon as he finished speaking, Bettina and the others followed helplessly after glancing at each other. After all, Li Yi is right, the current situation can only be explored after entering.
The group pretended to walk in from the gate of Xicheng easily, and they were worried that they would be discovered by the soldiers guarding the city, but until the four of them walked into Xicheng safely, they did not see any soldiers come to interrogate them.
After walking into the city for a while, Li Yi stood up, turned back to the three people behind him and said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that we were really worried about it before, although the security here is stricter than that of ordinary cities, but after all, it has not reached the point of lockdown." From this point, it can be seen that there must be a force ruling in Xicheng now, and this force can also deter other forces around it. It's just that I don't know who is controlling Creek City now. ”
Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina also nodded slowly. After looking up and looking around a few times, Bettina slowly spoke: "Elena and I have been separated for almost eight years, and when we first separated, she was still a teenage girl, I really don't know what she has become now." ”
"Hehe, Sister Bettina, now is not the time for you to sigh, we had better think about it first, how to tell if this Xicheng is still not in the hands of your sister. By the way, do you know what kind of banner your sister and the force they formed, we can distinguish it by the flag planted on the head of the city? Faced with Bettina's sudden emotion, Li Yi immediately stopped it with a wry smile, and immediately asked about Elena.
Hearing Li Yi's question, Bettina first fell into a burst of thought. After thinking for a while, Bettina slowly raised her head, and then said to Li Yi with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, after all, because I have been separated from my sister for many years. And a few years ago, when my sister was forming a force, I only paid a little attention to it. Later, when there was occasional contact, most of them were to ask about the security between us. As for her power, I hardly ever asked. ”
Bettina's narration made Li Yi speechless again. Shook his head helplessly, and then Li Yi stared at Bettina with a smile and said, "Bettina, let me ask you, have you really thought about restoring the Sye Empire to you." ”
Seeing Li Yi ask like this, Bettina immediately put away the embarrassment on her face, and said to Li Yi very solemnly: "Of course I want to restore the country, such a heavy national hatred and family hatred, how can I forget it so easily." As long as I, Bettina, don't die for a day, I will definitely fight for the Empire of Say. ”
Listening to Bettina's impassioned narration, Li Yi first gave a thumbs up. Then he said to Bettina in a funny way: "Since you are all about recovering the country, then why don't you even pay attention to your forces." Although you had a clear division of labor with your sister before, your sister's power has something to do with you after all, so why can't you pay attention to it. Do you think that with your cultivation alone, you can restore your Sayi Empire? ”
Li Yi's merciless criticism suddenly made Bettina's face change. Although Bettina wanted to refute it, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that everything Li Yi said was right. After figuring out these truths, Bettina lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered: "I really paid too little attention to this side of things before, and I will get rid of this problem in the future." ”
Seeing that Bettina seemed to be wronged, Li Yi couldn't bear to continue to say something, after all, in fact, Li Yi reprimanded Bettina for these words, which Dean Gal said to him when he was in Lily of the Valley Academy. Li Yi only focused on cultivating forces after Dean Gal said this to him. Therefore, from the perspective of time, Li Yi did not understand the truth here much earlier than Bettina.
"Okay, Li Yi, Bettina used to be a princess after all, and she may not be too meticulous in planning and strategy when marching and fighting, so don't say anything about her." Seeing that Bettina had been silent since she was reprimanded by Li Yi, Pat had no choice but to say to Li Yi on the side.
"Hehe, okay, I said too much before, I hope Bettina doesn't take it too seriously. Since we don't have any information about Xicheng now, we can only solve it on our own. After Li Yi finished speaking, he also began to look around.
"Hehe, Li Yi, what are you doing?" Seeing Li Yi looking around, Yadi couldn't help but ask curiously on the side.
