The reason why the Tianlan Empire was able to completely wipe out the Sayi Empire was because there was not even a saint-level powerhouse left in the huge Sayi Empire.
Therefore, when the army of the Tianlan Empire had already pressed into the Senna Royal City, there was no one in the entire Sayi Empire who could compete with the Tianlan Empire.
At that time, the Sayi Empire didn't really have the strength to compete with the Tianlan Empire, but as the king of the Sayy Empire, he knew very well that if an empire could not have a saint-level powerhouse, then in the face of the invasion of an empire with a saint-level powerhouse, the only thing they could do was to quietly wait for the empire to fall.
Even if you want to make some amends, it's just to send out some living force before it is completely destroyed. At the very least, it can be guaranteed that after the entire empire has been shattered, there will still be some real royal blood, which can be carefully planned in secret, and maybe one day it can really repeat the glory of the past.
Now, after more than ten years of lying on the salary and trying her courage, Bettina has finally reorganized a fairly powerful force, at least she has the strength to fight with the Tianlan Empire.
After doing this, Bettina was even more eager to get the support of a strong man who could really make the Yanlong Legion stand up.
When Prince Jeff saw Li Yi for the first time, he decided that he must win over Li Yi, and even for Li Yi, he could promise that as long as Li Yi could join the Yanlong Legion. Then after the big thing is done, all the military power of the entire empire can be handed over to Li Yi.
Prince Jeff did this because he saw Li Yi's potential. Because in his opinion, although Bettina has the best cultivation talent among the Say's royal family in the past hundred years. And before he was forty years old, he had already reached the strength of the fifth low-level. However, the way of cultivation depends not only on talent, but also on opportunity in many cases.
As an old man who has lived for almost a hundred years, and Prince Jeff also knows a lot about cultivation, he values Li Yi much more than Bettina.
And now it seems that Prince Jeff did make the right choice back then. Although Li Yi was gone for ten years in a blink of an eye, it was for these cultivators. Ten years is really just a matter of time. Many warriors may only be able to improve their strength by one weight in ten years. However, after Li Yi left for ten years, he would come back here again, and he had successfully jumped from the strength of the Infinite Peak to the strength of the Seventh Peak.
This huge leap forward is very shocking. You must know that after cultivating to the fifth level of strength, it is very difficult not to advance once.
At the beginning, Pat had been cultivating in the Lily of the Valley Academy for so many years, but he had only only cultivated to the strength of the fifth intermediate level. You must know that Pat, as a strong person who can stay in the Lily of the Valley Academy to cultivate, his talent is not weak. But that's it, he can only cultivate step by step according to that promotion speed.
However, when Li Yi had just left Lily of the Valley Academy, he was only the strength of the triple peak, and then he didn't see it for ten years, and when he returned, he turned into a real powerhouse of the fivefold peak.
Not only did he surpass Pat in terms of strength, but he was also much better than Pat in his understanding of combat skills and martial arts.
But now, let Li Yi disappear again for ten years, after returning again. was able to leapfrog the twofold strength again and become a powerhouse at the sevenfold peak. Even the realm of the Sage was not too far away from Li Yi.
Therefore, although Bettina saw Li Yi appear at first glance, she couldn't see through what kind of strength Li Yi was in now.
However, with Bettina's current six-tier mid-level strength, she couldn't really find out Li Yi's true strength even if she used all her strength. Then there can only be one problem, that is, the current Li Yi's strength has far surpassed Betina.
Even Bettina had already boldly guessed whether Li Yi had successfully advanced to the realm of the Sage after ten years of absence.
But after thinking about it for a while, Bettina immediately denied her own idea. Because in her opinion, no matter how good Li Yi's talent is, no matter how good his master is, how special the exercises he cultivates. After all, he Li Yi is just a human being, not the reincarnation of some god, nor is he a demon or monster.
So although he just sent a sentence of emotion in vain, and just saw Li Yi laughing and joking with himself. But Bettina had already guessed in her heart at this time that Li Yi's current strength should be above the sevenfold intermediate level, at least Li Yi is now the strength of the sevenfold intermediate level.
Although Bettina still felt a little strange about her feelings, she was here now. In Bettina's opinion, her guess should already be eight or nine ten.
So when she thought about it, Bettina was very happy. Li Yi was able to reach the current height in just ten years, so maybe, in another ten years, Li Yi could really advance to the realm of the Sage.
And if that really happens, then she and her Yanlong Legion will really survive to the end of their lives.
I thought that one day, with the help of Li Yi, I could lead my army to the city of the Seine Kingdom and fight to the death with those executioners who invaded the Sayy Empire. Although Bettina is only a woman, she can't help but feel a burst of blood boiling when she thinks of this.
However, Bettina also knew that there was still a long way to go before Li Yi could compete with the Tianlan Empire. So after seeing Li Yi's little excitement for a while, Bettina finally woke up from the excitement.
Looking at Li Yi, who had not seen him for ten years, but now that they met again, he was still extremely handsome, and there was no trace of the erosion of time on his face, Bettina smiled, and finally walked in front of Li Yi generously, and then said calmly: "Li Yi, it can be regarded as waiting for you back." I haven't seen you for ten years, and you haven't seen any old age at all, with your face, I don't know how many young girls will be fascinated. ”
Seeing Bettina first excited after seeing her, and then joking with herself in a good mood, Li Yi expected that there must be no hidden reason for the smooth development of the Yanlong Legion in the past ten years. At least, Bettina doesn't have any worries on her mind right now.
Otherwise, after seeing her return, Bettina would definitely not show such ease.
After following Bettina into the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yi had an in-depth conversation with Bettina for a long time, and finally had a comprehensive understanding of Bettina's current thoughts.
Through the conversation, Li Yi knew that in the eyes of the outside world, the Yanlong Legion and the Sayi Legion seemed to be at peace on the surface, and neither side was willing to go to war easily, because once the war started, neither side could guarantee that they would really win. And once the battle is defeated, or even if it is a victory but it is a miserable victory, then even if it is a victory, it may not be able to get the fruits of victory safely.
Because what neither the Yanlong Legion nor the Sayi Legion can ignore is that in the South Realm of Sayi, there is another force that is not weak. Although it seems that the Wu'an Legion does not pose any real threat to the Yanlong Legion and the Sayi Legion now. But both sides know that if the two tigers fight, then the Wu'an Army will definitely not give up the opportunity to be a fisherman.
Originally, Li Yi also thought so, thinking that the Yanlong Legion did not go to war with the Sayi Legion because he thought that winning was not such a simple matter at all. Moreover, even if you can win, you will not be able to enjoy the fruits of victory.
But after talking to Bettina, Li Yi realized that these situations were just boring speculations from outsiders. The Flame Dragon Legion does not move the Say's Legion in the current situation. It's not because I'm afraid of wolves and tigers, it's just because of one reason. That is, there are three powerful forces in the current Sayin South Realm at the same time, so when the Tianlan Empire sees that there are still disputes in the Saynan Realm, it will not take the initiative to send troops to harass this side.
The Tianlan Empire will only quietly wait for a winner among the three forces to compete, and then suddenly kill the southern realm of Sayi after the winner has not really gained a foothold.
Therefore, before she could compete head-on with the Tianlan Empire, Bettina would not be stupid enough to let the southern realm of Sayi truly compete for the real winner. Fortunately, the other two are not stupid and understand the situation. Therefore, seeing that there was no movement in the Yanlong Legion, the other two families were also happy to seize the current time to recuperate.
Through his conversation with Bettina, Li Yi also learned about the so-called supreme force. At this time, Li Yi knew that the reason why the Sayi Empire fell so quickly back then was also because the powerful factions in the Sayi Empire knew that after losing the supreme force that could not compete with the Tianlan Empire, all their resistance was in vain.
And now, after Li Yi came back and told Bettina that she had successfully cultivated to the sevenfold peak, Bettina was now very optimistic about the future of the Yanlong Legion.
But even so, Bettina knew it very well. Even if Li Yi had reached such an incredible height as he was now, compared to the Tianlan King who had reached the realm of the Sage more than ten years ago, Li Yi was still far behind.
So after a little excitement for a while, Bettina also put away the thoughts that had just been activated, and said to Li Yi seriously: "Li Yi, what are your plans to come back this time." Ten years ago, my third grandfather invited you to join our Yanlong Legion, and you didn't agree at that time, can you give me an accurate answer this time. ”
Hearing Bettina's question, Li Yi didn't pause at all, just smiled confidently, and then Li Yi said to Bettina seriously: "Hehe, I'm still not ready to agree to this invitation. ”
Hearing Li Yi's answer, although Bettina had been prepared in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh after all.
But before Bettina's sigh landed, Li Yi immediately spoke: "But although I am still not ready to join the Yanlong Legion, I think your revenge plan should be able to be implemented." ”
"Well, Li Yi, what do you mean?" Looking at Li Yi's confident look, Bettina couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although the first question that came to Bettina's mind after seeing Li Yi come back was also this matter. But when she heard with her own ears that Li Yi was now only a seven-fold peak strength after all, Bettina temporarily suppressed the hatred in her heart that was just about to be awakened.
Now in Bettina's eyes, Li Yi has been closely linked to the future fate of the Yanlong Legion. Although Li Yi is only a powerhouse of the sevenfold peak strength now, in terms of Li Yi's current strength, Li Yi is very young. So compared to the already old King of Tianlan, Li Yi had too much time to chase after that old guy.
So after figuring this out, Bettina didn't agree with Li Yi in her heart that Li Yi would go to support the Yanlong Legion now and fight to the death with the Tianlan Empire.
But when Bettina had already hidden this thought in her heart, Li Yi was contrary to Bettina's thoughts. Although Li Yi has passed ten years, he still has not agreed to Bettina's invitation to join the Yanlong Legion. But as soon as Li Yi changed his words, he immediately told Bettina that he wanted to help Bettina start her revenge plan.
Hearing Li Yi's proposal, how could she not make Bettina moved. Although Bettina is very keen on revenge, when she thinks of the strong strength of King Tianlan, Bettina does have some scruples about him in her heart. But Li Yi obviously knew more about the king of the Tianlan Empire than she did, but Li Yi not only did not have the slightest scruples, but when Bettina had already shown an expression of wanting to give up, he took the initiative to help Bettina take revenge.
So although she was not sure about Li Yi's proposal, Bettina calmed down her excitement and quietly waited for Li Yi's next step.
Seeing Bettina so excited, Li Yi first smiled, then touched his nose with a little embarrassment, and said to Betina: "Betina, is my proposal a very crazy thing in your opinion, how come your expression has changed so much in such a short period of time before." ”
Hearing Li Yi's rhetorical question, Bettina couldn't help but smile, and then asked, still slightly cramped: "Li Yi, with your knowledge, you should have a clearer understanding of the strength of the king of the Tianlan Empire than I do. Don't you think that with our current strength, if we want to compete with the Tianlan Empire, it is really possible to overcome their defense in one fell swoop and achieve the final victory. ”
In fact, it's no wonder that Bettina is so unconfident now, although the strength of the Yanlong Legion is already very strong now, and if she really wants to fight with the Tianlan Empire at all costs, the Yanlong Legion may not be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Tianlan Empire.
But Bettina knew, and she had already told Li Yi, who had just returned, the news. If you just want to be a small rebel overlord, then the Yanlong Legion is now very strong. However, if they want to be able to compete with a large empire, the Yanlong Legion is now very weak.
The so-called supreme force has always been a sharp blade hanging in Bettina's heart, and if there is no strong man in the Yanlong Legion who can compete with the old king of the Tianlan Empire, the Yanlong Legion will have to stay in the south of Sayi all the time, and it is best not to have the slightest motive to go north.
But what Bettina thought about doesn't mean that Li Yi didn't think of it. After just coming back to talk to Bettina and learning a lot about the situation, Li Yi knew that with the current strength of the Yanlong Legion, the reason why Bettina didn't dare to make too many moves was because he was very taboo about the old guy of the king of the Tianlan Empire.
