Hearing Li Yi's question, Bettina smiled, and then said calmly to Li Yi: "Li Yi, what you said just now is right, the third grandfather is the elder of our two sisters, but he is also only the elder of the two of us, not the elder of the entire Yanlong Legion. We are now out just to meet our long-lost elders. I don't want to bring ruin to the Yanlong Legion because of the two of us. With that, Bettina and Elena each mounted a war horse and galloped out of the city.

Seeing that Bettina had made up his mind, Li Yi knew that it would be futile to persuade him any longer. And Li Yi also agreed with Bettina's approach at this moment, if it was just Bettina and Elena going out of the city to meet each other, then even if the other party had bad intentions, at least it would not bring much trouble to the Yanlong Legion.

It's just that Li Yi is still a little worried, if it's just Bettina, Li Yi naturally doesn't worry about Bettina's safety. But after all, this time Bettina and Elena went out of the city together, if there was really any accident, Bettina wanted to protect Elena while protecting herself, and she might be somewhat powerless. So immediately Li Yi followed Bettina and the others out of Xicheng together, Li Yi did not ride a horse, and with his foot strength alone, he caught up with Bettina who was riding a horse and slowly marching towards the camp of the Paz Legion.

Sensing someone coming behind her, Bettina looked back and saw Li Yi's iconic gorgeous hair and the dazzling scar on her left eye. For some reason, she was still a little nervous, but after seeing Li Yi's smile, Bettina finally didn't feel a little uneasy.

"Li Yi, why did you come out with you?" Although she knew that Li Yi came out because she was worried about her and her sister's safety, Bettina still pretended not to know.

But Li Yi didn't directly say his purpose, just waved his hand in a chic manner, and said lightly: "It's too boring in the city, it's good to come out and relax." ”

Seeing Li Yi like this, Bettina and Elena both cast a grateful look at Li Yi at the same time. But through getting along in the past few days, they also learned about Li Yi's conduct, so they didn't say anything to Li Yi to thank him. Since Li Yi came out with them, Bettina and Elena simply got off their horses and walked slowly in the direction of the Paz Legion with Li Yi.

At this time, among the Paz Legion, the veteran who had always stood at the forefront of the troops without saying a word, after seeing the few people who walked out of Xicheng, his originally resolute face couldn't help but show a somewhat complicated look. There was excitement, there was doubt, but more than that, there was disbelief.

Because as the old prince of the Say Empire, the old Prince Jeff loved Bettina and Elena very much. Although he hadn't seen the two little granddaughters for more than ten years, Prince Jeff still recognized her at a glance because of Bettina's beauty. As for Elena beside her, Prince Jeff also vaguely saw Elena's shadow back then.

So after confirming the identities of the two, Rao is an old man who has experienced all kinds of situations in the world and has seen death as home, and he can't help but feel uneasy.

Unconsciously got down from the war horse, and in the direction where Bettina and the three men were coming, the old prince walked towards them calmly.

Seeing his general's abnormal behavior at this time, the officer in the Paz regiment couldn't help but shout to Prince Jeff: "General, general, the identities of several people in front are unknown, don't put yourself in danger." ”

Hearing the worried words of his subordinates, the old prince's face only showed a strange look, but the old prince didn't even look back in the end, just made a reassuring gesture with the subordinates behind him, and Prince Jeff walked towards Bettina and the three without hesitation.

This is not too long a distance, but in the eyes of the Bettina sisters and the brother-in-law, it seems to be a thousand rivers and thousands of mountains. After each came together with excitement, the three people who were originally talking with a belly of words were all silent.

But although they didn't speak, they could see their feelings for each other from their eyes. This strong family affection cannot be disguised.

Seeing this situation, Li Yi was also interested in not getting too close to these three people. Li Yi knew that at such a moment, it was good to let them vent their emotions silently.

After a long silence, Prince Jeff pursed his lips, then opened his mouth and said to Bettina in a hoarse voice, "Child." ”

It's just these two simple words, Prince Jeff seemed extremely difficult to say it, and Sister Bettina was also very excited when she listened to it.

Now the Bettina sisters don't have to guess what the old prince in front of them has in their minds, in the eyes of the two sisters, now is the time to be with their relatives, and everything else is irrelevant.

After staring at Prince Jeff with red eyes for a long time, Elena finally threw herself into the old prince's arms and began to cry bitterly. Although Bettina was a little calm, her mood at this time was also fluctuating violently.

Holding Elena in his arms, looking at Bettina in front of him, Prince Jeff finally said in a deep voice after losing his mind for a while: "Child, I'm sorry for you." ”

Hearing the old prince's exclamation again, the two sisters acted as if they hadn't heard anything. Elena was still crying in Prince Jeff's arms, and Bettina unconsciously shed two lines of tears in her eyes.

"Alas, you have suffered all these years. Back then, we were all to blame, it was because we were not greedy enough, and we had to provoke the powerful existence of the Tianlan Empire, which caused the difficulty of destroying the country, and made you displaced and wandered abroad for many years. After being silent for a long time, the old prince said with great emotion.

Hearing Prince Jeff's words, Elena finally stopped crying, broke free from Prince Jeff's arms, and said in a choked voice: "Third grandfather, don't say that, back then, my father also wanted to make our Sayy Empire go to the next level. He was well-intentioned, and we don't blame him. ”

"Well, well, it's best if you think so. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it was our lack of preparation that led to the difficulty of destroying the country. Alas, forget it, don't mention the things of the year, talking too much will only increase the sadness. Elena, how come you and your sister are in Creek City, do you know the Lord of Creek City? No longer dwelling on the events of the past, Prince Jeff turned the conversation to Creek City.

Hearing Prince Jeff's words, Elena and Bettina both had a somewhat strange look on their faces at the same time. After hesitating for a while, Bettina took the initiative to say to Prince Jeff: "Third grandfather, this Creek City is ours, and the Yanlong Legion is the foundation that the eldest brother Evan and the younger sister Elena have worked hard to build over the years. ”

Hearing Bettina's words, Prince Jeff was instantly stunned on the spot. Just now, Prince Jeff's face only showed an expression of excitement and relief, but at this time, his face was full of shock.

After losing his mind for a long time, Prince Jeff cautiously asked in a confirmed tone, "You mean, the master of the Yanlong Legion, is it just a few of you?" Elvin? Bettina? Barack? Bettina? Back then, your father sent a few of you out quietly, and you created this foundation with that little money and so many hundreds of people over the years? ”

Seeing Prince Jeff's appearance, Sister Bettina originally wanted to proudly tell him that yes, the Yanlong Legion, which now dominates the province of Central Pakistan, was formed by Evan and Elena. But when I thought of the death of my eldest brother Aven, that pride dissipated in an instant.

Thinking of this, Elena couldn't help but shed tears again, and then said to Prince Jeff with a whimper: "Creek City is ours, and the Yanlong Legion is also ours. However, the eldest brother who made a Hummer contribution to these foundations left us forever a few days ago. ”

"Aven, that kid is dead? What's going on, who did it? Hearing of Aiwen's death, the old prince was also very excited. But after questioning, Prince Jeff seemed to have something in mind. After frowning and thinking for a while, the old prince said to Elena with a trembling voice: "Could it be that when the Kaban Legion ambushed the grain transport team of Xicheng halfway a few days ago, the Lord of Xicheng Ai Wen who was accidentally killed is your eldest brother?" ”

Hearing Prince Jeff's words, although Elena didn't know which unit the Kaban Legion was, she thought that her eldest brother Evan had indeed died on the way to transport food. If this is the case, it is indeed as the old prince said. So after thinking for a while, Elena said softly: "Yes, the eldest brother Evan died on the way to transport grain. ”

Elena's words were like a bolt from the blue, and after listening to them, Prince Jeff instantly felt like he was ten years older. The face that was originally very energetic became like dead ashes at this moment. Clenching his fists tightly, Prince Jeff said hatefully: "I killed my grandson with my own hands, I killed him." ”

Seeing the old prince's painful appearance, Elena immediately stepped forward and comforted softly: "Third grandfather, don't be like this. People can't be resurrected after death, and since the eldest brother is gone, it won't help us to blame ourselves anymore. Your body needs to be important, don't let it hurt you. ”

"Hehe, what qualifications does my body matter, I personally killed the greatest hope of our Sayi Empire, if the ancestors knew about it, they would not forgive me. How so, why would God tease us Perkins so much. I've worked so hard to save a foundation for a few of you kids who escaped back then. But I never thought that our family would fight together. Prince Jeff was so excited that his body trembled unconsciously as he spoke.

Both Bettina and Elena knew that Prince Jeff felt extremely guilty for Aven's death. But the two sisters had already thought about it, Evan was their relative, and Prince Jeff was their elder. They are all related by blood, so now that Evan has passed away, it is time for Prince Jeff to take care of his health.

The two sisters came to the old prince one on the left and one on the right, and comforted softly: "Third grandfather, the death of the eldest brother is irreversible, and you didn't know before that this Xicheng belongs to our Perkins family." Now that our family is finally reunited, I think we can only unite as one and develop the foundation that we have worked so hard to build. In this way, the eldest brother can smile at Jiuquan, and the ancestors of the family can be happy. ”

Listening to the words of comfort from the two sisters, Prince Jeff sighed and said after a long time of entanglement: "Alas, God's will makes people, and God's will makes people." Girls, don't be nervous about me as an old man. I also want to open it, you are right, what we should do now is how to develop well, and finally repeat the glory of the Sayy Empire. I'm a little tired, can we go to the city to rest? ”

Hearing the old man's request, the two sisters nodded hurriedly. But when they saw the troops behind the old prince, the two sisters couldn't help but look embarrassed again.

Seeing their expressions, Prince Jeff said directly: "Don't worry, let them follow us into the city." Although I am not effective in leading troops, my prestige in their hearts cannot be ignored. I can assure you that they won't make any mess when they let them into town. ”

Hearing the old prince's personal assurance, the two sisters supported the old prince with joy and slowly paced towards Xicheng.

And when the old prince turned around and gave the order for the troops to enter the city, although his soldiers were very puzzled, and looked at each other. However, the old prince's order could not be resisted, and after a moment of hesitation, the soldiers in the Paz army also began to slowly follow Prince Jeff's footsteps and slowly move closer to Xicheng.

From beginning to end, Li Yi was quietly acting as a shadow on the side. It wasn't until all the men and horses of the Paz Legion had entered the city and Li Yi found a safe haven for the soldiers of the Paz Legion in Creek City for Bettina that Li Yi paced leisurely and walked towards his residence.

And wherever Li Yi passed, the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion who could recognize Li Yi all sent admiring glances to Li Yi. Because of last night's battle, Li Yi has already established an image of a god of war for these soldiers. In their hearts, Li Yi is an existence that is stronger than Ai Wen.

But Li Yi didn't care much about this, and occasionally encountered a soldier who dared to greet him, Li Yi would nod casually.

When Li Yi rushed back to his residence and began to cultivate, the Bettina sisters also helped Prince Jeff back to their sisters' bedroom. For the old prince, they have no shy past.

As soon as he arrived at Bettina's sisters' bedroom, the old prince asked straight to the point, "Bettina, how many troops do the Yanlong Legion still have?" ”

Hearing the old man's question, Bettina knew that the old prince must have some military problems. So Bettina set her sights directly on Elena, meaning to let her sister discuss this issue with Prince Jeff.

Knowing that her sister was not good at these things, Elena also got up very considerately, looked at Prince Jeff and said with a smile: "After last night's battle, there are still 140,000 soldiers in the Yanlong Legion, but because the battles are too frequent, these soldiers cannot fight normally in a short period of time. ”

"140,000, alas, it seems that grandpa has brought you trouble." The old prince was just about to sigh, but after seeing the complaining eyes of the two sisters, the old prince knew that they were not resentful of leading troops to attack Xicheng, but they didn't want to let themselves always fall into self-blame. So after Prince Jeff sneered, he said calmly: "After this battle, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers left in my Paz Legion, and counting the other two legions, there are only more than 60,000 soldiers in the coalition army. In three days, in just three days, more than half of the 200,000 troops were lost, and it was really not easy for you few. But I'm relieved to see a few of you juniors so promising. ”

Hearing Prince Jeff's emotion, Sister Bettina did not follow the old prince's words. After thinking for a moment, Elena asked curiously, "Third Grandfather, as far as I know, the Path Legion is not a weak force in Ning'an Province. Why did you dare to take such a big risk this time and unite the other two legions to rashly attack Creek City. Is it because of the food problem that you have to do this? ”
