In fact, the war mercenaries can develop at a very fast speed, and a large part of the reason is also due to the iron-fisted conscription decrees of each empire. In the past, although there were a lot of troops among the three hegemon-level empires in the continent, because the consumption was not large, each household basically only needed one strong man to join the army. And as long as the military age is reached, you can still leave the army in the future and go home to live the life of ordinary people.
But in today's continent, because of the needs of war, the monarchs of the empire are also fighting red, and the number of strong men drawn from every family has gradually increased, and finally increased to the point where many families are ruined. Some of the remaining strong men in many families, seeing that if they still stay at home comfortingly, they will inevitably not be able to escape the fate of being dragged into the battlefield in the future. And if he was forcibly transferred by the state to join the army, the consolation money for his family was pitiful. Many men finally gritted their teeth and left their homeland, leaving their homeland to join some large mercenary groups. With the support of the forces behind the big mercenary group, they no longer have to worry about being forcibly captured to join the army. Even if you are lucky enough to survive after the battle, you will be paid enough to make a good life for your family.
Under the impetus of so many conditions, the number of war mercenaries is also increasing year by year, and even faintly exceeds the trend of normal mercenaries.
Along the way, Li Yi was analyzing the current situation in the mainland and the mercenary industry that has developed because of this situation. If he really wanted to develop this god-killing mercenary group to the point where it could compete with the Tianlan Empire, then Li Yi's best choice was to bring the god-killing mercenary group into the ranks of war mercenaries. Only by accumulating enough capital can Li Yi truly develop his own power.
Thinking about this, Li Yi couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards Area Z. Since he had decided to do this, Li Yi didn't plan to hide it from the others in the God Killing Mercenary Group, because Yadi and Pat were both friends of Li Yi for many years. Although Tang Yu and Tang Hao had just met, Li Yi felt that the sister and brother were not unscrupulous. In the face of these people who can be regarded as friends, Li Yi is ready to explain some things to them.
walked into Area Z quickly, and stopped Yadi and Pat, who were still discussing in the courtyard at this time, and Tang Hao, who was watching the excitement on the side. After returning to the 13th courtyard together, Li Yi called Tang Yu out of the house again. At this time, all the members of the God Killing Mercenary Group were all called by Li Yi.
Seeing that Li Yi suddenly called everyone over inexplicably, Yadi and the others had some doubts in their hearts. Because there are several people who know Li Yi's personality to some extent, if it weren't for something important, Li Yi would definitely not do it.
Seeing the few people sitting in front of him with puzzled expressions, Li Yi first exhaled heavily, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "Several, I called everyone here now to explain some things to you. ”
"Oh, let's not talk nonsense, I don't know that you must have called us here to say something. What's the matter to say directly, do you feel that you are about to hang up and want to explain the future to me? If that's the case, forget it, you don't have any legacy. Reading Li Yi with a serious face, Yadi made a joke first.
Yadi's joke instantly made fun of several other people present, and even Li Yi, who had a serious face before, couldn't help but laugh. After Yadi's interruption, the atmosphere in the room began to lose its solemnity and become relaxed.
"Fuck off, if you want to die, you will die first." After losing Yadi's sentence first, Li Yi adjusted his emotions again and said to everyone: "Several, among you, except for Yadi, you actually don't know anything about me Li Yi." ”
"Well, almost, although we met ten years ago, we haven't had much contact after all." Patrick nodded.
"Hehe, our sister and brother have only known each other for a few days, and of course they don't know each other." Tang Yu also said with a smile.
"Well, okay, I, Li Yi, will tell you something about myself today, and only Yadi knew about this matter before."
"What's the matter?" Before Li Yi could finish speaking, Yadi interjected and asked.
"Don't interject, let me finish slowly." Li Yi glared at Yadi and said. "Brother Pat, do you know why I left the Tianlan Empire in the first place, it was ten years and so long as I left."
Seeing Li Yi suddenly ask himself, Pat was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "I don't know, I didn't say it when I saw you before, so I never asked, what is the reason." ”
"Oh, alas, it's because of Alice. In the battle of the Seine King City, a unit led by me was regarded as an abandoned pawn of the Tianlan Empire, and the soldiers were the first troops in the Tianlan Empire to rush into the Seine Royal City, and fought bloodily in the city for many days. We didn't want to be annihilated, so we fought back, and although we managed to storm the palace, Alice also left me in that war. After returning home, I blame all my resentment on King Tianlan. When accepting the reward, he decided to attack the king. As a result, because of the lack of strength, the sneak attack failed, and in the end, the king of Tianlan may have read my meritorious feelings and saved me from death, but he ordered me to be expelled from the Tianlan Empire and never entered. Looking at Pat and the others, Li Yi slowly told a few people about some of the past ten years ago.
Hearing that Li Yi's deeds seemed to be legendary, the few people present opened their mouths in surprise except for Yadi. They never thought that the man in front of them, who seemed to be extremely sloppy, turned out to be a war hero ten years ago.
"Li Yi, you are so handsome. Chong Guan was angry, and if the girl named Alice knew about it, she would definitely be moved by you. After listening to Li Yi's deeds, Tang Hao said excitedly on the side.
In this regard, Li Yi just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Tang Hao is young because he is young, so he only pays attention to these impulsive things that Li Yi does. But the old Pat and Tang Yu frowned after listening to Li Yi's story. After a long silence, Pat slowly spoke: "No wonder when the war was just over, there seemed to be a story about you in the country. But then it disappeared inexplicably, and it turned out to be because of this. ”
"Li Yi, then you want to make a move against the Tianlan King when you go back to the Tianlan Empire this time? After all these years, you still haven't let go of this hatred? Tang Yu, who had also been silent for a long time, finally asked.
"I came back this time just because of that previous mission of the Red Flame Beast. Later, the mission ended awkwardly, and Yadi and I had no intention of leaving for the time being, so we stayed in Lily of the Valley City first. Li Yi said lightly.
"So, what are you telling us about this today, I guess you won't be without purpose." Staring at Li Yi, Tang Yu asked seriously.
"Well, that's true, in fact, I've been trying for revenge for so many years. However, after chatting with Dean Gal for a long time, I realized that it would be too unrealistic for me to seek revenge on King Tianlan alone. So after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to develop a force of my own. And right now, our god-killing mercenary group has just become my best starting point. But thinking that you are all my partners, I don't want to hide from you and take advantage of you, so now I want to explain to you clearly, and you can tell me what you plan now. After looking around, Li Yi said sincerely.
"Then what are your plans, if you already have your decision, you might as well say it and let us all hear it." Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Pat asked seriously.
Seeing that Pat finally asked the point, Li Yi was silent for a while before finally saying his final thoughts: "My idea is that we will become war mercenaries. ”
Hearing Li Yi's proposal, the other people present were stunned, they never thought that Li Yi would put forward such an idea.
As Yadi, who knew Li Yi the most in the audience, he was also stunned for a while, and then said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, if I remember correctly, you seem to be a person who hates war very much, why would you make such a decision now." ”
Looking at Yadi with a puzzled face, Li Yi smiled, and then said lightly: "At this time, at that time, in life, many things cannot develop according to our wishes after all." I used to be tired of the battlefield, firstly, because I couldn't find any passion there, and every day I was facing those ordinary soldiers who had no ability to resist, and after a long time, the process of cultivation would be delayed. Second, because of Alice's death, I also became completely indifferent to the battlefield. Power is good, but it's not what I'm after. But now, I have realized that I can't fight against the Tianlan Empire with my strength alone, so I, Li Yi, am cheeky here, and I want to make an excessive request to you, hoping that you can follow me. ”
has been with Li Yi for so long, and Yadi rarely sees Li Yi show such a serious expression. So when Li Yi calmly said what he thought in his heart, Yadi suddenly felt heavy in his heart. In fact, Yadi also knew in his heart that what Li Yi was going to do this time was something that almost did not see the slightest dawn of victory. After defeat, the disgrace is small, and it is not certain whether the whole corpse can be kept.
But Yadi was silent for a moment, and all the distractions in his heart dissipated. Because he has always had an idea in his heart, that is, his Yadi's life was saved by Li Yi, so even if he followed Li Yi to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, Yadi could have no regrets.
After figuring out everything, Yadi finally let go of his frowning brows, and met Li Yi's eager gaze, Yadi said with a smile: "Li Yi, my friend, this time, I will follow you to the end." Even if we fail, we must first turn the Tianlan Empire upside down. ”
Seeing Yadi's firm gaze, Li Yi's originally tightly held heart finally fell. Because among the four people present, Li Yi actually didn't want to see that Yadi would say words of opposition. Because of so many years of friendship, Li Yi firmly believes in his heart that Yadi will follow him on this road of no return. As it turned out, Yadi did not disappoint herself.
"Thank you, even if I die, I will definitely keep you safe." Looking at Yadi with a smile, Li Yi said sincerely.
"Hey, don't say such frustrating words, I haven't started to do it yet, so I'm thinking about death first. Tell you, I always believe that I can achieve great things, and this time may be my chance to soar, but don't let your crow's mouth tell me that it is gone. Not wanting to talk about the atmosphere too sensational, Yadi waved his hand in a chic manner and joked with Li Yi.
"Well, it must be okay, it's my crow's mouth." Looking at Yadi's big grin, Li Yi said with a smile.
Just as the two were talking, Pat, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Li Yi, although I have known you for a relatively long time, due to too many factors, we have never had much contact. You've been absent from the academy for ten years and you're back again, and I'm glad to be back with you as your old friend. No matter what you Li Yi think of me Pat, but what I want to say is that I, Pat, am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, since you can tell me your secrets, I will definitely see that there is danger, so I will pat my ass and leave. No matter how much trouble you want to set off on this Shengyuan Continent, this time, count me as Pat. ”
Listening to Pat's sincere words, Li Yi also felt a warm heart. For this strong man who has spent nearly half his life cultivating, Li Yi has always admired him. Now that the other party can follow him to fight against the Tianlan Empire without hesitation, Li Yi also deeply sighed that he finally met a few people who were worth delivering.
And after Yadi and Pat agreed to Li Yi's request one after another, only Tang Yu's sister and brother were left in the room at this time. didn't want to be too demanding in this regard, Li Yi just calmly set his eyes on Tang Yu, who had always been silent, and patiently waited for the other party's decision.
Just after Li Yi, Yadi and Pat all set their expectant eyes on Tang Yu, Tang Yu's sister and brother finally realized that it was time to say their decision.
At this time, Tang Yu was actually full of contradictions in his heart, because after all, Li Yi and the others had just helped his sister and brother solve a big trouble, and according to common sense, Tang Yu had no reason to stand by and watch Li Yi's affairs at such a time. But because of the secrets he has always cherished, it is really difficult for Tang Yu to make a choice at this time.
Seeing Tang Yu's melancholy look, Li Yi also saw Tang Yu's embarrassment. With a calm smile, Li Yi finally opened his mouth and said to Tang Yu: "Hehe, if there is anything inconvenient for Sister Tang Yu, Li Yi will not embarrass your sister and brother." After all, this kind of thing of mine is not a good thing, Li Yi really has no intention of forcibly pulling you into our camp. ”
Hearing Li Yi's sudden words, Tang Yu, who had been entangled in his own problems, also woke up immediately, looking at Li Yi embarrassedly, Tang Yu was still embarrassed and couldn't say a word. clenched his fists fiercely, and a pair of jade hands made a bone sound at this time.
Faced with Tang Yu's desire to speak and stop at this time, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little curious. After all, this kind of thing is actually not very difficult to make a choice, because everyone can see very clearly that the road that Li Yi wants to take is a road that is difficult to go to the light, if you don't really want to accompany Li Yi to life and death, then you can quickly decide to give up. After all, in the final analysis, everyone is just a person who has only known each other for a few days, and he is cruel to put it mildly, and he is not even a friend, so Li Yi is very curious why Tang Yu is so embarrassed at this time.
And just when Li Yi was about to exit again, Tang Yu, who had been embarrassed, finally slapped the table hard, and then looked at Li Yi again, his eyes became extremely sharp.
