But Li Yi was not very tempted by this, after all, since he was abandoned by King Tianlan once, Li Yi was wary of anyone who wanted to dominate him. And just as Evan proposed, Li Yi even heard Lincoln behind him let out a soft cold snort.

So after being silent for a while, Li Yi said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't think it's necessary to come to the Yanlong Legion, we are all used to being casual, and we still like a life that no one cares about." I heard that you guys were in trouble here, so we followed Bettina over to take a look. Since it was a false alarm, the few of us were not going to bother here. ”

Hearing Li Yi say that he was leaving, Bettina hurriedly said, "Li Yi, are you leaving?" Where are you going, I've just arrived, why are I leaving? ”

"Hehe, weren't we going to form our own mercenary group before, if we want to develop our forces, we can't always intervene in you. You don't have to worry, no matter where we are, we will all develop the same way, and nothing will happen. Looking at Bettina, Li Yi said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Li Yi suddenly remembered something, and then turned to Ai Wen and said, "Brother Ai Wen, although I think it is indeed safe here, it shouldn't be as simple as it seems on the surface. After all, according to Bettina, this Creek City is a granary-like existence, so can other forces really be willing to see you occupy this place? ”

Hearing Li Yi suddenly ask about this, Ai Wen was silent for a while before he spoke: "Hehe, okay, I won't hide it from you, in fact, this time I let Bettina come back because our Yanlong Legion is ready to make some big moves." You're right, although this Xicheng is good, it is also a hot potato, and our occupation of this place has actually made some other forces eye. In order to dispel their greed, we are going to take action this time to eliminate one or two small forces and deter them. ”

"Hehe, okay, since Brother Ai Wen already has a plan in his heart, my worries are unnecessary. Just bother tonight, give us a few rooms for me to spend the night, and tomorrow morning, Yadi and I will set off. Hearing Ai Wen's plan, Li Yi also stopped talking about it.

"Li Yi, you are really ready to leave, stay, didn't you also say before that you would help me restore the country." Seeing that Li Yi repeatedly mentioned that she wanted to leave, Bettina said anxiously.

"Rest assured, the promise I made Li Yi will definitely be fulfilled. I can help you if I go elsewhere to develop as well. Isn't this what you used to think, to disperse the power and then explode en masse in the future. Shaking his head stubbornly, Li Yi said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Yi had made up her mind, Bettina didn't do anything to stay. After discussing with Ai Wen in a low voice for a while, Bettina opened her mouth and said to Li Yi: "Since you insist on leaving, I won't do much to keep it, but the strength of our god-killing mercenary group is indeed too weak, I discussed it with my eldest brother and allocated you a thousand soldiers as the capital for development, you won't refuse again." ”

Li Yi originally wanted to refuse Bettina's kindness, but when he heard Bettina say that the God Killing Mercenary Group used "we", Li Yi's eyes also flashed with relief. With a fist at Ai Wen, Li Yi smiled and said, "Since this is the case, Li Yi will accept it with a smile." ”

"It's easy to say, if you can in the future, Brother Li will still come and walk around more." also hugged Li Yi and said with a smile.

Seeing that things were almost discussed, Li Yi prepared to leave with a few people behind him. It's just that when she was about to leave, Elena, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Li Yi, if you believe in your strength, you will go to Jingchuan Province." It's a complicated place, but it's also a good place to grow. ”

Hearing Elena's suggestion, Li Yi looked back at this girl who seemed to be a person with Alice in surprise. Nodding happily, Li Yi said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I will consider your suggestion more." After speaking, Li Yi and his party left the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Early the next morning, Li Yi and his entourage, led by the people sent by Bettina, came to the school field in Xicheng. Although there was chaos on the school grounds, many of the troops' phalanxes were training. But as soon as Li Yi came to the school grounds, he still saw Bettina and the thousand soldiers standing in front of her at a glance.

Walking in front of Bettina with Yadi and the others, Li Yi smiled and said to Bettina: "Hehe, Sister Bettina got up really early, and you see that your spirit is much fuller now than when you were in the Tianlan Empire." It seems that it is a happy thing for relatives to get together. ”

"Hehe, your words are many. Come and see if the thousand elite soldiers I picked for you can enter the eyes of your General Li. Smiling and greeting Li Yi, Betty stretched out her hand and pointed to the 1,000 soldiers on the school field who were ready to go.

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but set his eyes on them. Although it is still impossible to conclude whether these soldiers are really as Bettina said, at least when it looks like it, Li Yi feels that the momentum exuded from these soldiers is that the combat power of this thousand-strong force should not be too weak.

nodded with satisfaction, and then Li Yi smiled and said to Bettina: "Hehe, Sister Bettina is really generous, if it weren't for your generous support, I really hadn't thought about it, where to slowly gather troops." ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Bettina first frowned, and then said to Li Yi with a little complaint: "Okay, you will be less polite to me." Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I won't forget your help to our brothers and sisters on the side of the Tianlan Empire. Now that I can help you with something, I can feel a little more at ease. ”

"Hehe, why do we care so much about those things, we didn't do it in the first place to seek rewards. Don't mention these things in the future, it will hurt the peace if you always say such things. Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything more." Seeing Li Yi's serious appearance, Bettina's face also flashed with a more relieved expression. After a moment of silence, Bettina continued, "Actually, after you left last night, I discussed with my eldest brother and them for a while. I originally planned to follow you to Jingchuan Province to develop, after all, to be honest, I can't help them with this war idiot here. I still like to live freely, and it should be exciting to follow you there. ”

Hearing Bettina say this, Li Yi first stared at Bettina for a while, and when the other party felt a little cramped, Li Yi said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that Sister Bettina is still very self-aware, but she can position herself very clearly." ”

Li Yi's words first made Bettina stunned, and after thinking for a while, she pretended to be angry and said to Li Yi: "Fuck off, I'm just modest, you really dare to look down on me." I'll tell you, Bettina just doesn't care about these things, and if I want to do it, who else can be better than me. ”

Looking at Bettina who was extremely "indignant", Li Yi shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, but then didn't say anything more.

After everyone was silent, Bettina and Li Yi looked at the thousand soldiers under the school ground, and after thinking for a long time, they slowly spoke: "Actually, the reason why I want to leave here is because I feel that it is difficult for me to integrate into the environment of Xicheng. Seriously, Li Yi, although I have only been back here for a day, but here, I don't even feel at ease in the God Killing Mercenary Group. Do you think that just because I have found the eldest brother and the younger sister, I will not develop the god-killing mercenary group with you again? ”

Li Yi, who was still casually looking at the soldiers in the field, couldn't help but start staring at Bettina with a strange look after hearing Bettina's emotion. After being silent for a while, Li Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, Sister Bettina's words are serious, in fact, it is difficult for anyone to integrate into a new environment so quickly. Maybe after a while, you'll love it here, after all, here, you can enjoy family with your big brother and little sister, right? But I, Li Yi, are also here to tell you clearly, if you really feel tired of life here, you can leave here and go to us. When the God Killing Mercenary Group was established, there was a person named Tang Yu in the registration staff of the group. How could our companions give up so easily. ”

Looking at Li Yi's relaxed smiling face, Bettina was silent for a long time. I don't know why, although Bettina can occasionally feel that the person in front of her is with her, in fact, she wants to use her own power more, but Bettina just can't be disgusted with him. Li Yi's image is not at all compatible with Yushu Linfeng, but Bettina always feels that he is permeated with a charming temperament all the time.

After looking at Li Yi in a daze for a long time, Bettina readjusted her emotions, and then said to Li Yi with emotion: "Hehe, okay, I remember everything you said, but don't wait for me to be cheeky and go to you, you will turn your face and deny people." ”

"The eldest sister laughed, how could that happen." Regarding Bettina's question, Li Yi replied very cheerfully.

Seeing the end of the reminiscence, Li Yi finally pointed to the soldiers on the field and said softly to Betina: "Sister Betina, I still want to ask more, although these soldiers you picked out are also excellent, but how can I lead them." After all, these people are also regular soldiers, and now they are called on the school grounds, and then I open my mouth and tell them that I am going to take them to be war mercenaries, which seems to be a very difficult thing. ”

Hearing Li Yi's scruples, Bettina was also obviously stunned. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Li Yi said is really something worth caring about. If these soldiers were allowed to kill the enemy, they would not hesitate. However, it was very difficult for these soldiers to accept telling them to leave the Yanlong Legion and then follow someone they didn't know before to become war mercenaries. Even if they could forcibly give them an order to follow Li Yi, this would also make the combat effectiveness of this army drop a lot.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bettina could only sigh gloomily in the end, and then said to Li Yi with a little embarrassment: "I really didn't think of this thing before. So what are you going to do now, you leave with some people, and you want to slowly develop your team, it's not a simple thing. ”

In this regard, Li Yi couldn't help but fall into a deep thought. Staring thoughtfully at the soldiers on the field, Li Yi thought for a long time before slowly speaking to Bettina and said, "Sister Betina, can you do this, let me and Yadi and them follow the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion to participate in training for a few days, and then I will recruit helpers in the barracks myself." After three days, I see how many helpers I can find. I thought maybe I had to get in touch with them first, so that they could follow me even more. ”

Hearing Li Yi's proposal, Bettina frowned and thought for a while. After thinking about it for a while, Bettina slowly spoke, "Well, you have a good idea. I don't think they will object, big brother, I'll make the decision on this matter, so when will you start? ”

"Now, now. You first order someone to disband these thousand soldiers, and then get us a few sets of armor, and from today onwards, I will also make a cameo appearance as a soldier of the Yanlong Legion for a few days. Speaking of this, Li Yi's eyes also began to flicker.

Seeing Li Yi's excited appearance, Bettina also smiled knowingly. Just about to turn around and leave, but as if she suddenly thought of something, Bettina walked back to Li Yi's side, and then said to Li Yi seriously: "Li Yi, in fact, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't know if you will accept it, so I haven't spoken." ”

Li Yi, who was still immersed in joy, first smiled when he heard Bettina's words, and then looked at Bettina thoughtfully and said jokingly: "Well, Sister Bettina has something to say, you can say anything directly in the future, I, Li Yi, am not the kind of stingy person." ”

Looking straight at Li Yi, Bettina said with a smile: "Hehe, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that from the beginning of contact with you, I wanted to tell you, why do you have to make such a sloppy look, since you want to do a big career, why don't you start with your own image first, it's always like this, and your subordinates won't have too much good impression of you." ”

Hearing Bettina's suggestion, Li Yi couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Reaching out and touching the beard that had blocked half of his face, and then subconsciously brushed away the greasy long hair that was blocking his eyes, Li Yi realized that his sloppy image had been maintained for almost ten years by accident. At first, it was because he was immersed in the pain of losing Alice and was too lazy to take care of his image. Later, because he was used to this kind of casual life, he didn't care about his image even more. Over time, it has become what it is now.

Seeing that Li Yi was just fiddling with his hair and beard and not speaking, Bettina also continued to speak: "Although I don't know why you have to make it like this, it's just that you're here in the south of Say. And it's been so many years since you've done it, and you don't have to protect yourself in this way. I guess even if you return to your former self, no one will recognize you. ”

Watching Bettina repeatedly persuade herself to take care of herself, Li Yi touched her nose helplessly after thinking for a while, and then said to Bettina with a smile: "Okay, okay, since the eldest sister has spoken, I will obey my fate." Eldest sister, let's do the things I explained first, after all, we have to seize all the time to get down to business now. ”

"Well, okay, I'll do it now. I'm really convinced, how can I always come up with these crooked ideas. Bettina looked at Li Yi and said helplessly.
