Turning her gaze to Li Yi, Bettina said suspiciously: "Li Yi, what do you think of this matter, could it be that the leader of the Paz Legion has gone crazy?" It's all like this, are they still ready to storm my Creek City? ”
Hearing Bettina's question, Li Yi could only reply with a wry smile: "Hehe, in my opinion, I can really only use a madman to describe the current leading general in the Paz Legion." By doing this now, he is undoubtedly sending his subordinates to death. ”
But no matter how surprised Li Yi and Bettina are now, after all, the enemy army is indeed approaching the city now. So putting aside all the doubts now, Li Yi and Bettina hurried to the head of the city, and ordered the troops in the city to quickly take position. As long as you feel that you still have the strength to fight, you will immediately go to various defensive positions.
Although the soldiers of the current Yanlong Legion were exhausted after a night of bloody fighting, after all, they had won a big victory, and now was the time to be excited. No matter how tired they are, they will not be stingy with their strength in the face of the enemies of the Paz Legion who still dare to challenge them.
So it didn't take long for Bettina's order to pass down, and most of the soldiers in Creek City were assembled. At this moment, Xicheng's defensive strength is not weaker than before.
On the other hand, looking at the coalition forces of the Paz Legion outside the city, their troops are really a little ridiculous. It can be seen from their lineup and momentum that these soldiers who have just experienced a crushing defeat have no strength to fight again. But what made Li Yi puzzled was why in the face of this situation, their officers still let them fight to the death.
And at this moment, there is an old general riding a white horse and wearing gold armor, who is standing at the forefront of the Paz Legion with a resolute face.
For some reason, the veteran didn't even wear a helmet.
With the eyesight of Li Yi and others, even if they are so far away, they can see the veteran's face clearly. When Li Yi saw the death-defying expression on the face of this old general, Li Yi also put away his previous contempt for them. Maybe this is an upright soldier, a loyal veteran. He can face defeat, but he can't accept running away. So even in this situation, he dared to continue to attack Xicheng.
However, although Li Yi admires this kind of person, the enemy is the enemy, and Li Yi will not be merciful because of his spirit. Take out the holy sword Roland, and then raise it high, and the next moment, Li Yi will shout the order to release the arrow.
But just as Li Yi's order was about to be exited, Bettina beside her suddenly shouted excitedly: "Stop!" ”
Li Yi, who had already planned to order the extermination of the attacking enemy army, heard Bettina beside him this extremely abnormal stop sound, raised the holy sword Luo Lan's right hand and couldn't help but pause, and then looked at Bettina suspiciously, and asked curiously: "Bettina, what's wrong, did you find anything wrong." ”
After calling Li Yi to stop, Bettina did not answer Li Yi's question immediately. Instead, she stared in the direction of the Paz Legion with a pair of beautiful eyes and an expression of disbelief on her face, as if there was something there that attracted her.
Following Bettina's eyes, Li Yi guessed that the only explanation that could make Bettina so excited should be the veteran who stood at the front of the team on a war horse in the Paz Legion.
It's just that Li Yi is also a little unsure at this time, what the relationship between this veteran and Bettina can be. So in desperation, Li Yi could only give up the idea of preparing to order an attack, but looked at Bettina and patiently waited for the other party to give him a reasonable explanation.
Bettina was stunned for a long time before she woke up and glanced at Li Yi like a dream. After seeing the look of doubt on Li Yi's calm face, Bettina couldn't help but smile apologetically, and then slowly said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, if my guess is correct, then this battle should be over." ”
Hearing Bettina's words, Li Yi obviously didn't understand the other meanings of her words, but subconsciously said to Bettina according to his own train of thought: "This is natural, now as long as a little sane person can see that the soldiers of the Paz Legion in front of him are already at the end of the crossbow, let alone attacking Xicheng, even if they let their troops fight a fair battle with us on the plain, they almost have no chance of winning." ”
But Bettina's thoughts were obviously different from what Li Yi said, and after listening to Li Yi's confident judgment, Bettina just shook her head slowly. After staring at the veteran in front of the Paz Legion, he was stunned for a while before he spoke to Li Yi: "Li Yi, what I said just now is not what you said. When I say that this battle can be ended, I mean that maybe this war is a farce, and we and the Paz army are flooded with the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not recognize the family. ”
Hearing Bettina's words, Li Yi was really stunned. He looked at the imposing veteran in the distance, and then at Bettina beside him. After that, Li Yi said to Bettina with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by that the people outside the city have an old relationship with your Yanlong Legion?" ”
"Hehe, it's not that it's old with the Yanlong Legion, it's old with me. And it's not just a friendship, but I'm related to the veteran outside the city, but I'm somewhat related. Without looking at Li Yi, Bettina just stared straight at the veteran outside the city, and said to Li Yi with a wry smile.
After listening to Bettina's words, Li Yi was really shocked, and at the same time had a sense of irony. Could it be that this world is really so small, and there are so many stories of reunions of old people in this small Sainan realm.
But looking at the solemn expression on Bettina's face now, Li Yi didn't say what he thought in his heart.
And at this time, since he already knew that the veteran outside the city was related to Bettina by blood, Li Yi finally understood the true meaning of Bettina's words before. Since it is a family, it is impossible to see each other again.
Putting the holy sword Roland into the storage ring, Li Yi asked calmly: "So, Bettina, what kind of relatives is that veteran outside the city, why haven't I heard you mention it before." Could it be that when the army of the Tianlan Empire attacked the Senna Royal City, your father not only arranged for a few of your brothers and sisters to go out of the city, but also secretly loosened some of the older generation of royal personnel? ”
Hearing Li Yi's question, Bettina smiled bitterly again, and after laughing, Bettina said bitterly: "The old man outside the city is my third grandfather, my father's own uncle, in the Sayi Empire, although his old man lived a simple life, but in fact, if the empire encounters any difficult problems, many things, my father will also sincerely ask for his old man's opinion." It's just that I don't know that his old man is still alive in the world, and it seems that after escaping from the Seine Royal City, after so many years of accumulation, he has made such an achievement. ”
Listening to Bettina's narration, Li Yi also sighed for a while, Li Yi himself didn't expect that although an empire had fallen, he had a deep family background after all. Even when the Sayy Empire had been removed from the mainland, the royals of the former Sayy Empire could still find a place to stay in the troubled times, and they could also let their power flourish in the midst of war.
But now is obviously not the time to sigh about these things, the biggest problem at the moment is that Li Yi and Bettina want to confirm what kind of position the veteran outside the city, that is, Bettina's third grandfather, is in now. When he united with other legions to attack the Yanlong Legion, did he know that the real master of the Yanlong Legion was his junior. If you don't know, then there's room for this matter to hover. But if you knew it before, then this matter is difficult to solve.
After thinking about it, Li Yi felt that in this kind of matter, he was not suitable to make decisions for Betina. So after listening to Bettina's story, Li Yi consciously remained silent, and everything was waiting for Bettina to decide.
But just when the two of them didn't speak, Elena, who had been resting in the city lord's mansion, suddenly climbed the city tower and came to Li Yi and Bettina.
After going up to the city wall, Elena first smiled politely at Li Yi, and then after seeing her sister's confused face, Alina couldn't help but look at Li Yi again, and then asked softly: "Li Yi, what's wrong with my sister, are you discussing something." Also, why haven't the enemy attacked the city yet, they are so close, we should let the archers attack first. ”
Elena was obviously in a good mood at this time, just a day ago, Elena and her sister were struggling to support in Xicheng, worrying about the safety of Xicheng all the time. But after last night's battle, Elena also saw the defeat of the Paz Legion and the current advantage of the Yanlong Legion. Compared with the two, Elena's mood is really relaxed now. So when she saw that the enemy was attacking Xicheng again, her sister was in a daze on the city wall and did not give the order to attack, which made Elena very puzzled.
And just after Elena asked Li Yi, Li Yi just touched his nose helplessly, and then said lightly to Elena: "Look at the situation outside the city, do you know the veteran in front of the Paz Legion." ”
Hearing Li Yi's words, Elena subconsciously looked in the direction Li Yi pointed. But after all, Elena is not a cultivator, so naturally it is impossible for her to have the extraordinary eyesight of Li Yi and Bettina. After frowning for a long time, Elena withdrew her gaze, and then said to Li Yi in a gloomy manner: "Li Yi, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me, do you think that at such a distance, with my eyesight, I can see the face of someone in the enemy army clearly." ”
Seeing that Elena seemed to be smiling and a little annoyed, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh. However, after thinking of the identity of the veteran outside the city, Li Yi immediately restrained the smile on his face, and then said to Elena seriously: "After your sister looked outside the city just now, she found that among the enemy troops, the veteran who is now standing at the forefront of the army on a war horse is your third grandfather, your father's own uncle. Elena, do you have any impression of you, the third grandfather? Also, when you fled from the Seine Palace, I heard your father mention that your third grandfather had also smuggled out of the city? ”
Looking at the serious expression on Li Yi's face, listening to what Li Yi said, the smile that Elena was still hanging on her face just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an unbelievable expression. At this time, Elena didn't care about what her sister was thinking in a daze, but immediately shook Betina's body and said urgently: "Sister, is there really our third grandfather among the enemy troops outside the city?" ”
Shaken by Elena for a while, Bettina finally woke up from her stunned state. When she heard Erin's question, Bettina once again had a bitter smile on her face, and then said lightly, "Well, yes. I can be very sure that the veteran who is now leading the Paz Legion outside the city is our third grandfather, Prince Jienu. ”
Although Bettina's tone was very flat, Elena listened to it as if she heard a thunderbolt from the sky. Although she knew that she couldn't see the situation on the other side, Elena still didn't give up and set her eyes on the outside of the city, as if she wanted to rely on her own eyes to confirm what her sister and Li Yi said.
However, it is clear that even anxious mood cannot compensate for Elena's lack of strength. After looking around blankly, Elena said dejectedly: "Alas, is it really the third grandfather who has loved us since childhood?" His old man was still alive. So, sister, what are your plans now, and we will continue to fight the Paz Legion to the death? ”
Hearing Elena's inquiry, Bettina said directly: "What do you think, knowing that the third grandfather is outside the city, we juniors not only do not go out of the city to greet him, but also send troops to fight him to the death." If this is the case, my father will not forgive us under Jiuquan. ”
Bettina's words made Alina very moved, and after struggling for a long time, Elena also agreed with Bettina's idea and said: "Okay, sister, you're right, no matter what kind of reason the third grandfather has to attack our Xicheng this time, but we juniors can never make any disrespectful comments about his old man." We will open the city gate now and welcome his old man into the city, I think, even if his old man really has thoughts about Xicheng, he will not kill us all. ”
Hearing Elena's words, Bettina didn't speak, just nodded in approval. After the two sisters finished discussing, they all turned their eyes to Li Yi, who had been silent on the side. At this time, the two sisters could not ignore Li Yi's existence.
Although Li Yi had only helped the Yanlong Legion in two battles so far, it had already made the Bettina sisters have some thoughts of dependence. They all felt that if Li Yi's opinion was sought, it might be more appropriate for this kind of thing.
Seeing Sister Liang's inquiring gaze, Li Yi touched his nose with a wry smile, and then said funny: "Hehe, what are you doing watching me like this, Xicheng is yours, the Yanlong Legion is also yours, and the third grandfather outside the city is also your grandfather, I agree with any decision you make, don't care too much about my thoughts." ”
Originally, the Liang sisters were still a little nervous, but after hearing Li Yi's inexplicable humor, Bettina and Elena couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Li Yi like this, they knew that Li Yi also very much agreed with their approach. Immediately, the two sisters seemed to have been injected with a booster, and after receiving Li Yi's affirmative response, the two sisters didn't think too much about it.
Hurriedly ordering the soldiers on the city wall to put away their weapons, Bettina and Elena hurriedly walked down the tower and walked in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing Sister Bettina swaggering out of the city like this, Li Yi immediately stopped Bettina, and then asked: "Betina, what are you going to do, don't you just send someone to welcome the old general in first, do you want to go out of the city to see him in person?" ”
