Hearing Elena's question, Prince Jeff said lightly: "Alas, in fact, to be honest, I'm just thinking about it for you juniors." In the battle of the Seine King City, I defended the city with your father, but unlike your father, I was at the forefront of the battle at that time. In the end, when we were defeated, I was unwilling, so I disguised myself and went out of the Seine Royal City. Later, taking advantage of the frenzy of uprisings on the southern side of Say, I also founded the Paz Legion by chance. There has been no news of your children in all these years, and I have to silently support the entire Paz Legion alone. But I'm old, and I'm afraid that in a few years I'll not be able to see you all. At that point, the Paz Legion that I had worked so hard to create would be meaningless. ”

"I'm sorry, Third Grandpa, as you know, our current identity is too sensitive, and we don't dare to declare our identity to the outside world. After all, for the time being, we still can't compete head-on with the Tianlan Empire. Hearing Prince Jeff's emotion, Elena lowered her head and said.

"It's not your fault, you're doing the right thing. In fact, what I think is that although I am also a prince in Ning'an Province, it is too chaotic after all, and I dare not compete with them with the existence of the giant of the Say's Legion. So I wanted to transfer my power, so I set my sights on the province of China and Pakistan. In fact, I claim to the outside world that the Giant Legion and the Middle Legion are my coalition forces, but in fact, they both belong to the Paz Legion. I had planned before, even if I fought hard to lose my old capital, I would also knock down Xicheng. Once I've gained a foothold in the province of Bakistan, I'll release the news of my royal status in the Sayy Empire, and I think I'll be able to find you. After you come over, I will continue to hide your identity, and then I, a bad old man, will die, and it can be regarded as giving you a few children a little capital to start a business. You are all still young, especially Bettina, and her cultivation talent is so good. I think that if you can develop well in the province of China and Pakistan, sooner or later you will be able to repeat the glory of our Sayy Empire. Speaking of this, a resolute gaze flashed in the old prince's eyes.

But after a while, Prince Jeff said to himself: "But who would have thought that the Xicheng that I wanted to fight was the foundation of your children. What's even more ridiculous is that I ended up losing at your hands. ”

Although the old man had a self-deprecating expression, Bettina and Elena couldn't laugh at all. At this time, they finally understood why the Path Legion was so frantically attacking Creek City. It turned out that the old prince wanted to leave them a good home, which is why he did such a crazy thing.

After everything was clarified, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and did not mention those sad things.

After that, the old prince, persuaded by the Bettina sisters, finally went to rest. And after a night of hard work, Bettina was finally overwhelmed and immediately entered the state of cultivation and recovered her body.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Li Yi just woke up from his cultivation state the next day, Li Yi felt that his physical condition was very satisfactory. After breakfast, Li Yi was invited to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion by the people sent by Bettina.

By the time Li Yi arrived, Bettina, Elena, Barak, and Prince Jeff were already waiting for Li Yi in the main hall.

Seeing that all the royal family members of the Say Empire had arrived, Li Yi smiled and said to Bettina: "Hehe, I'm late, I'm sorry." ”

"You don't have to be polite, you basically know everyone present, come, let me give you a formal introduction, this is my third grandfather, Prince Jeff, third grandfather, this is Li Yi, if he hadn't traveled thousands of miles to lead troops to aid our Xicheng this time, maybe our ancestors and grandchildren would have to change the scene." Bettina said with a smile, introducing their respective identities to Li Yi and Prince Jeff.

Li Yi behaved very politely, and for Bettina's sake, Li Yi performed a junior etiquette to Prince Jeff. And Prince Jeff didn't hold it up, and hugged Li Yi very politely.

After the introduction, Bettina took the initiative to say to Li Yi: "Li Yi, we talked a lot with the third grandfather yesterday, and also made some plans for the future direction of the Yanlong Legion, now I will tell you." ”

Hearing Bettina's words, Li Yi didn't feel too surprised, found a seat at random, sat down and waited for Bettina to speak.

But seeing Bettina like this, Prince Jeff's eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light. However, the old man's abnormality was only for a short moment, and he didn't say anything after that.

"Actually, the Paz Legion, the Giants, and the Kaban Legion were originally my third grandfather's forces. After our acquaintance yesterday, the third grandfather decided to abandon the city in Ning'an Province and transfer all his troops to Zhongba Province. In this way, if we add his troops, the Yanlong Legion will have more than 300,000 troops. It is no longer a problem to stick to the province of China and Pakistan, even the most powerful army in the south of Say, they do not dare to take the initiative to provoke our province of China and Pakistan. Seeing Li Yi sit down, Bettina began to introduce the current situation of the Yanlong Legion to Li Yi.

Hearing Bettina's story, Li Yi only nodded slightly. After that, he asked calmly: "So, now that the Yanlong Legion also has a deeper capital, what do you plan to do in the future?" Whether to prepare for a temporary recuperation, or to quickly send troops and take advantage of the situation to take down a few cities. ”

Regarding Li Yi's question, Bettina did not answer, but Elena on the side took the initiative to speak: "Although because of this incident, our Yanlong Legion has been blessed by misfortune and suddenly increased its troops by more than 100,000. But after all, both the Yanlong Legion and the Paz Legion have experienced a major war, and now we need to rest for a while before we can think about external conquest. Li Yi, you can cultivate in Xicheng with peace of mind recently, and when we want to develop our strength in the future, we will not be able to do without the help of you and your friends. ”

"Well, no problem, I promised Bettina that she would help him, so you can find me for whatever you do in the future. It's just that since there is no crisis in the Yanlong Legion now, and I don't want to go to the outside world for the time being, I think I should go back to Jingchuan Province first. After all, I haven't finished doing it yet. With that, Li Yi smiled apologetically at the few people present, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

But just as Li Yi was about to walk out of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Prince Jeff, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Young man stay first, can you talk to me, a bad old man." ”

Hearing Prince Jeff's voice, Li Yi couldn't help but restrain his steps that were about to step out of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, turned his head and looked at the old prince with a smile on his face and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know what advice you have." ”

Mo said that Li Yi couldn't figure out what kind of thoughts this old man who was over eighty years old had, and even the Bettina sisters on the side couldn't understand why their third grandfather wanted to leave Li Yi behind. Although they also wanted Li Yi to stay in the Yanlong Legion for more time at this time, it was just out of understanding Li Yi that Bettina did not make such a request to Li Yi.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Prince Jeff smiled indifferently, and then said calmly to Li Yi: "Hehe, old man, I am no longer a prince, just call me General Jeff in the future." General Li, according to Bettina, you also have an insoluble hatred with the Tianlan Empire, so you will join forces with them to help them restore the country. ”

Hearing Prince Jeff's words, Li Yi's eyes sharpened unconsciously. But this change was fleeting, and after glancing at Bettina beside Prince Jeff, Li Yi said lightly to Prince Jeff: "Well, that's right, Bettina and I met in Lily of the Valley City of the Tianlan Empire, and became friends by chance. After that, I came to the south of Sayi because of the Yanlong Legion, and as for the union, there is actually no such formal statement, but it is just that Bettina and I take what we need. ”

Although Li Yi's answer was concise, everyone present heard a bit of indifference in Li Yi's tone. Even Bettina, who has always thought that she has a good relationship with Li Yi, couldn't help frowning, Li Yi mentioned three times and twice that he and Bettina are just taking what they need, although this statement is not an exaggeration at all, but Bettina is still a little uncomfortable in her heart. Bettina still hopes that Li Yi can treat her as a friend, rather than this purely cooperative relationship.

Not only did Bettina show a slight abnormality, but even Prince Jeff, who was asking, was stunned. This was the first time he had spoken to Li Yi, and as soon as Li Yi opened his mouth, he said an answer that surprised him. Although the old prince only led the troops into Xicheng yesterday, through the exchange with the Bettina sisters, and the experience of these years. Prince Jeff had already decided in his heart that Li Yi could take such a big risk and lead his soldiers and horses to attack thousands of miles to aid Xicheng. It must be because he has a soft spot for Bettina, if not so, at least he has a crush. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to do such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing by relying solely on cooperation.

But what Prince Jeff didn't expect was that Li Yi's reply to him turned out to be the most unlikely thing in his opinion. So after hearing Li Yi's answer, the old prince stared at Li Yi straight for a long time. After watching it for a while, the old prince gave up this practice in a dejected manner.

Because even though the old prince has read countless people in the past 80 years, when facing Li Yi's joyless and angry face, he can't see any clues from it. With a dejected sigh, the old prince said silently in his heart: "Alas, is there really such a righteous person in the world? What is promised will be done with all your might? When you meet such a character, is it Bettina's happiness or misfortune? ”

However, no one present now knew what the old prince was thinking at this time, and after Bettina saw her third grandfather stop Li Yi, she just asked a simple question and fell into deep thought. Although Bettina has a lot of respect for this old man, Bettina also cares about Li Yi's feelings very much. Out of his understanding of Li Yi, if he was left aside for no reason like this, then Li Yi might be angry.

Just as Bettina nervously wanted to interrupt Prince Jeff's thoughts, the old prince himself suddenly woke up from his deep thought. Looking at Li Yi, who was still expressionless in front of him, the old prince said apologetically: "Hehe, I'm sorry General Li, the old man is old, so he was distracted just now." ”

Regarding Prince Jeff's words, Li Yi smiled noncommittally. Until now, Li Yi has not figured out what the old man meant by leaving him.

"General Jeff, I don't know what you're going to do with me here. As long as you keep talking, I Li Yi can do it, then I will definitely not shirk it. Seeing that Prince Jeff still didn't mean to speak, Li Yi had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing particularly big, I just want to discuss some things with General Li." After hearing Li Yi's question, Prince Jeff said with a smile.

"Oh? What does the old general have to discuss with his subordinates? Li Yi asked curiously.

"General Li, I heard Bettina say that General Li should have formed a mercenary group by himself, and it is still a war mercenary group. If the old man's prediction is good, General Li must want to develop a mercenary group, and then confront the Tianlan Empire in the future, right? Turning the conversation around, Prince Jeff directly talked about Li Yi's God Killing Mercenary Group.

Listening to General Jeff's reminder, Li Yi suddenly thought that he was actually still the leader of a mercenary group. Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of this mercenary group, Li Yi really planned to use continuous development, and after the strength of the mercenary group was increased to a certain level, he could confront the Tianlan Empire.

However, after fighting a few battles in the southern realm of Sai, Li Yi realized that it was too unrealistic to expect a small mercenary group to confront an empire of Nuoda. So over time, Li Yi gradually forgot the name of the God-Killing Mercenary Group.

But being brought up again by the old prince today, Li Yi knew that since the other party asked about his mercenary group, he must have some plans. But when he thought that he was just alone after all, and there was nothing that the other party could calculate, Li Yi had no choice but to say patiently to the old prince: "General Jeff is right, Li Yi did form a mercenary group when he was in the Tianlan Empire, I don't know what your old man is asking for." ”

"General Li, don't get me wrong, the old man doesn't mean anything else. Actually, General Li, I think you should be able to figure it out, it is simply unrealistic to expect a mercenary group to compete with the Tianlan Empire. So I want to be here, I would like to formally extend an invitation to you, inviting you to join our Yanlong Legion, I don't know what General Li thinks. The old prince said with a smile, but when he looked at Li Yi, his eyes also revealed a little nervous.

However, in this regard, Li Yi behaved very blandly, and after habitually touching his nose, Li Yi said with a smile: "Why does the old prince ask such a question, haven't I already said it before, as long as Bettina and the others have any requirements, I Li Yi can do it, then I will definitely not refuse." And I also promised that I would do my best to help Bettina and her return to the country, isn't this enough, I have to go through a formality and join the Yanlong Legion? ”

"General Li, you are wrong, this is not a simple form, only if you really join our Yanlong Legion, we can truly feel at ease. Old man, if you like to hear it, I have seen many perfidy things done by vile people over the years. It's not that the old man can't trust you, it's just that I've been messing around in this world for all these years, and I'm always used to being more careful in doing things. As long as you can join in, we will be a family from now on. Even the most confidential things can be told to you. The old prince said unhurriedly, hoping that his words could really touch Li Yi's heart.
