Hearing Mel's complaint, Li Yi could only say with a wry smile: "I suddenly figured out some things back then, so I wanted to leave temporarily, mainly for the sake of cultivation." Now I feel that my cultivation has achieved a little success, and it is enough time to go back and ask the old king of the Tianlan Empire for some things, so I will come back. β
Hearing Li Yi's words, Mel's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although Mel's strength is not very strong, it does not mean that Mel's cultivation is not diligent. For cultivation, Mel is also very diligent. It's just because of talent that Mel has the strength he has now.
Although he heard that Li Yi was only saying that his cultivation had achieved a little success, Mel knew that this was just Li Yi's humble words. When Li Yi left, he was already at the strength of the fivefold peak, and Li Yi was only thirty years old at the time. This kind of cultivation talent has never been seen in Mel. So after ten years of experience, Mel himself guessed that even if his old boss was not good, he should now be at the strength of the sixfold peak, and he might even have advanced to the sevenfold realm.
Thinking of this, Mel was really excited. In his cognition, even the strength of the sixfold can gallop on the battlefield at will. If their own regiment commander's strength really reaches this realm, or even above it, then the combat effectiveness of their central army will rise more than a step in an instant.
Thinking of this, Mel couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Commander, what kind of strength do you have now." β
"Hehe, I was lucky for a while, and now I have stayed at the sevenfold peak strength for two years." Touching his nose, Li Yi said lightly.
But although Li Yi said it easily, it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Mel.
The strength of the sevenfold peak, it is said that the old dean of the Lily of the Valley Academy in the Tianlan Empire seems to be just such a strength. Thinking that his old boss had now reached such a realm, how could Mel not sigh with emotion: "With the strength of the regiment commander, isn't it like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep when he enters the enemy army." β
Seeing that Mel didn't speak for a long time after listening to his words, Li Yi had no choice but to continue to speak: "Hehe, I said it was just a fluke, what about the sevenfold, but it's just one person." Don't panic, tell me carefully about the current situation of our Central Army, we are going to make a big move. β
Originally, when he heard Li Yi repeatedly say that it was just a fluke, Mel still said angrily in his heart: "I would like to have such a fluke, but God will give it." β
But when he heard Li Yi's words, he couldn't help but light up. Hearing the words "big move", Mel immediately asked, "Big move?" Commander, are you going to incite the Yanlong Legion to attack the Say's Legion? β
It's no wonder that Mel is so cautious, after all, in his opinion, even if he can integrate the forces of the entire Sainan Territory now, it is already a big event.
But after hearing Mel's words, Li Yi shook his head slightly and said, "It's not entirely true, conquering the Say Legion first is just the beginning of the operation." Our goal is to march on the Tianlan Empire as soon as we unify the southern border of Said. β
After hearing the news from Li Yi, Mel's eyes, which were already very wide, suddenly became even bigger. Mel looked at Li Yi as if he was looking at a monster, and then said excitedly: "Commander, are you sure you are going to use troops against the Tianlan Empire?" Isn't it just against the Say's Legion? β
Mel is so excited not to say that he has no knowledge, on the contrary, it is precisely because he once served as a soldier in the Tianlan Empire that he has a very real knowledge and understanding of the Tianlan Empire.
Mel knew, don't look at the development of the south of Say, it seems like a tiger in the mountains. However, in fact, if we talk about the fundamentals, even if the forces in the southern realm of Sai are integrated, they may not be the opponents of the Tianlan Empire.
Don't look at the southern realm of Sayi, if the strength of all the legions is not lost to the Tianlan Empire now, but the overall quality of the soldiers is more than a loss to the Tianlan Empire.
As an old empire, the Tianlan Empire, whether it is the overall combat ability of the legionnaires or the individual combat ability, is not something that the militia team temporarily pulled up by the rebel army in the southern territory of Sayi can compete with.
If the rebel army team is really allowed to compete head-on with the regular army of the Tianlan Empire, it may be superior. War is not a matter of blindly pursuing the number of legions.
It was because he knew the most fundamental gap between the two that Mel was very surprised by the Tianlan Empire's mobilization of troops after knowing that Li Yi was preparing to unite with the Yanlong Legion to destroy the Sayi Legion.
But these questions are not something that Li Yi can figure out. Although Li Yi also served in the Tianlan Empire back then, at that time, Li Yi only knew how to blindly pursue fighting on the battlefield in the army. For this kind of matter between the legions, Li Yi did not know as thoroughly as Mel.
So seeing Mel's excited look, Li Yi first touched his nose, and then asked suspiciously: "Yes, we are going to fight against the Tianlan Empire." What's wrong with this, are you cowardly before the war starts? β
"Hehe, regiment leader, it's not me Mel who is instigating, it's true that the Tianlan Empire can't be compared to the rash rebel army like ours now. Commander, think twice. After thinking clearly about the stakes, Mel really began to dissuade him.
After all, although Mel also had a deep grudge against the Tianlan Empire back then, he didn't have the deep hatred of Li Yi and Bettina after all. So when he heard that he was going to go to war, the first thing Mel thought of was that once the war started, he would be sure of victory.
However, despite Mel's repeated persuasions, Li Yi was unmoved. After all, Li Yi came this time to inform Mel of the matter, and in Li Yi's opinion, Mel only needs to follow his own arrangement.
But what Li Yi didn't expect was that Mel, who had always been obedient to him, became timid this time.
Faced with this situation, Li Yi didn't have the patience to tell Mel those big truths.
Li Yi just straightened his face, and then said solemnly: "Okay, this matter is settled, you don't have to say more." β
"This ...... Alas, well, what do you say, commander. Seeing that Li Yi had already put on a straight face, the bitter persuasion that Mel originally wanted to say was also swallowed back with interest.
After all, Mel is just a fierce general who knows how to lead his troops into battle, and he is not the kind of general who can see the situation particularly thoroughly.
In Mel's opinion, although there is an essential gap between these forces in the Tianlan Empire and the Sayi South Realm, perhaps even with these gaps, in the current situation, as long as the Yanlong Legion can eliminate the Sayi Legion, then it may not be impossible to confront the Tianlan Empire in the future.
Mel still trusts his old boss very much, and he knows that Li Yi is not the kind of person who likes to do things that he is not sure of. Since Li Yi blindly insisted, he even gave himself a death order in the end. That proves that this is not impossible, and Mel only needs to obey.
Besides, Mel actually knew that even if he had to compete with the Tianlan Empire, it would be the Yanlong Legion that would fight the main force. When Mel took the 10,000-strong cavalry regiment of the Central Legion to gallop thousands of miles and went to Xicheng to rescue the Yanlong Legion, Mel still remembers it vividly.
Mel knew that the princesses and princes of the Royal Family of the Say Empire in the Yanlong Legion had a different relationship with Li Yi. Now that Li Yi has returned here and ordered himself to raise troops, this must prove that the Yanlong Legion must also be ready to make a move.
After thinking about it, Mel was still full of reluctance, but now it has also dissipated.
After his emotions eased, Mel said to Li Yi with a smile: "Hehe, head of the regiment, Mel was reckless just now, didn't I say what you said." In this Central Army, what you say is the supreme order, and even I have to obey it. β
Seeing that Mel had agreed, and didn't look like he was being oppressed by his own strength. Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Mel seriously: "Mel, in fact, it's not that I, Li Yi, is unreasonable, but I think this matter naturally has a feasible reason." Besides, in today's Central Army, there are many brothers who survived with us from the King of Seine. When it comes to hatred for the Tianlan Empire, how can we people completely forget about it. Let you do it, but also to let you understand the obsession in your heart. β
As he spoke, Li Yi even talked about his obsession with Mel.
For the so-called obsession, Mel also knows a little bit. Although he didn't know why Li Yi was here here, Mel could only say inexplicably: "Hehe, what is the regiment commander talking about, do we soldiers still care about those obsessions." Anyway, you don't have to be embarrassed, commander, in fact, since we escaped from the Seine King City alive with you, we have all agreed that our lives are given by you, commander, as long as you let us go east, then we will never go west. Commander, give the order, how are you going to let us fight. β
Mel was saying these words with a serious expression on his face, and there was not the slightest hypocrisy in his eyes. Li Yi could feel his sincerity, so after listening to him, Li Yi was also moved to pat Mel's shoulder, and then said with the same sincerity: "Good job, brother, don't worry, I won't let our people die for no reason." Come, first of all, you can introduce to me the situation of our Central Army now. Let me have a rough idea so that we can stand in a similar position in the future in the war. β
was said so sincerely by Li Yi, Mel also nodded excitedly. Mel has always believed that he was able to come out of the Seine King City alive because of Li Yi's efforts at the last moment to turn the tide and lead his guys who had lost their fighting spirit to continue to kill.
In the end, although there were inevitably casualties, it was not as bad as the annihilation of the whole army. And the most important thing is that under the leadership of Li Yi, his brothers finally became the biggest contributors to the killing of the king of the Sayh Empire. Not only did he come out of the Seine King City alive, but he was also rewarded handsomely by the Tianlan Empire. The brothers who were able to come out of the Seine King City alive back then also became the captain of the squad in the Tianlan Empire later.
They all think that their names were saved by Li Yi, and the glory they received was stained with Li Yi's light. Therefore, after betraying the Tianlan Empire and meeting Li Yi again in the southern realm of Saidi, these people's gratitude to Li Yi actually rose to the extreme.
Mo said that he just obeyed some of Li Yi's tactical orders, even if Li Yi gave unrealistic orders, as long as they were not allowed to die for no reason, then these people would have no idea of resisting.
Mel is the most representative figure among these people, so when he saw that Li Yi still regarded himself as a brother and not a simple subordinate, Mel was really moved. At this moment, Mel had secretly decided that as long as he didn't die one day, he would follow Li Yi forever.
After sorting out his thoughts, Mel slowly said to Li Yi: "Commander, after you left the southern border of Say, Margaret continued her footsteps in conquering Jingchuan Province. Although there were many hardships during the period, she finally achieved this in the end. But presumably she is in the way of your face, after having already changed all the other cities with the banner of the Wu'an Legion, she actually did not offend our Central Legion at all. After a long time, I also knew that Margaret really didn't seem ready to do anything to us. β
"Well, after that." Seeing that Mel finally got down to business, Li Yi asked patiently.
"But although Margaret doesn't bother me, after all, because she has dominated almost the entire Jingchuan Province, this proves that it is impossible for me to expand outward. Unless I take my team and leave Jingchuan Province, otherwise, although the Wu'an Army will not do anything to me for the time being, it does not mean that after I do it, they will still blindly tolerate it. After thinking about it, I finally figured out that it was irrational to fight the Wu'an Legion in Jingchuan Province, and outside Jingchuan Province, the Yanlong Legion was in full swing again. Not here either, not outside. In the end, I can only choose to be a small leader in the mausoleum city comfortably, as long as they don't come to destroy me for a day, I will be the emperor of the soil for one more day. Speaking of this, Mel couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then continued: "Alas, it's really aggrieved, and it can be suppressed by two girls. β
Seeing Mel's emotion, Li Yi could only smile helplessly, and then comforted: "Hehe, don't think too much, what about women, whether it is Margaret or Bettina, they can also be regarded as heroes." Even if you are suppressed by them, there is no shame in saying it. Besides, in fact, I am also to blame for this, it was my reason back then, which caused Margaret to dominate the Jingchuan Province. Otherwise, I don't think you would have lost to this woman. β
"Hey, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it, Commander." Originally, Mel just sighed casually, so he didn't expect Li Yi to avenge him or anything, and Mel was not that kind of person.
After reorganizing his thoughts, Mel continued: "I think about this city trapped in Jingchuan Province, and I can't let it go like this. So in the end, although I didn't go out of the city to clash with any other forces, I did come up with a way to greatly improve the capabilities of our Central Legion. And I know that as long as my idea is realized, you will be very happy. β
"Oh? What ideas, let's hear them. Hearing Mel say this, Li Yi couldn't help but be interested, and immediately asked.
"Hehe, ten years, a whole ten years. The so-called big forces outside only know how to blindly recruit troops and buy horses, and then use those troops who rush to the east to fight in the west. I'm just nesting in this little mausoleum, training my cavalry troops with peace of mind. And at that time, I also found out that since my military power could not be extended beyond the mausoleum, then I had to find another way. Eventually, our brothers came up with a good idea, and we began to make war money, and many of the cavalry brothers began to accompany the merchants in batches, and began to travel between the many forces in the Tianlan Empire and the southern border of Say. There were constant disputes on the road, and the soldiers were not only trained, but also our Central Army was paid. The most important thing is that the money we get is finally exchanged for war horses. Speaking of this, Mel deliberately stopped his speech, and then looked at Li Yi with a smile.
