Li Yi just smiled and drank the wine with a smile. He knew that after drinking this glass of wine, he would start a life of conquest again.

Holding the wine glass, Li Yi secretly sighed: "Soldiers, they are just war tools for these ambitious people to fight for power."

In 1998, after the Tianlan Empire quelled the rebellion of Vanessa in the north, facing the invasion of the Sai Empire, King Tianlan finally ordered a counterattack, sending out all the Central Army, all the Southern Army, and some of the Western Army's forces, with a total force of up to 1.2 million. The army gathered in the Chinese fortress and was ready to go out of the pass and attack the enemy directly.

"Li Yi, this is the first time I have seen so many people get together." Standing beside Li Yi, Alice said to Li Yi excitedly.

At this time, ten days have passed since the Central Army successfully suppressed the rebellion. After returning to the imperial capital through triumphant return, the Central Army only stayed for one day, and then all sent troops to set out to the Chinese fortress, and met with the Southern and Western Legions here.

When Li Yi and Alice came here with the large army, Alice saw the dense crowds of people in the current Chinese fortress and couldn't help but sigh beside Li Yi.

"Yes, now it's not our Central Army. There are nearly one million lions here." Li Yi also said sighingly while riding on the war horse.

"I don't know when General Luo Ning and his team will launch a counterattack, the scene will definitely be very shocking."

"Yes, most people may not be able to encounter a war of millions in their lifetime. I don't know if I am lucky or bad. I didn't expect that I, Li Yi, would encounter a war of this scale shortly after joining the army." Li Yi walked towards the city on his horse and chatted with Alice.

"Heroes come from troubled times. Maybe this is the opportunity God has arranged for you to stand out." Alice was still as nervous as ever. Even if she was about to face a war of millions, she would not look nervous at all.

"I hope so. It's just that one general's success has been undone. I don't know how many people will be buried with me when I am a hero." Li Yi jumped off the war horse and said to Alice in a daze.

"Tsk, it's still so bad. You really dare to admit it if you are a hero." Alice also dismounted, but she didn't forget to tease Li Yi when she dismounted.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi smiled awkwardly. It was right to think about it. He always put himself at a height higher than ordinary people. Over time, he really regarded himself as a hero.

However, before Li Yi could respond, a messenger rushed to Li Yi. After dismounting, he told Li Yi that General Luo Ning was preparing to hold a meeting and asked Li Yi to go to the command center as soon as possible.

"Hehe, Li Yi, General Luo Ning really cares for you. No matter what meeting, I will never forget to let you attend." Seeing that Li Yi was called to the meeting again, Alice continued to tease Li Yi.

Ignoring Alice's joke, Li Yi directly praised her and told her not to run around, and then rushed to the command center.

When Li Yi came to the command center, there were already three people sitting in the room. Li Yi only knew General Luo Ning, who was among them. He walked forward a few steps and saluted General Luo Ning and said, "See General."

General Luo Ning stood up with a smile, and then began to introduce the other two to Li Yi.

The identities of the other two are not as simple as those of several division commanders. Li Yi did not expect that the two people in front of him who were not astonishingly beautiful could be regarded as princes in one place.

One of them is Lori, the commander of the Southern Legion, and the other is Kane, the commander of the Western Legion. Both of them are at the same level as General Ronin. Now the empire is preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Sai Empire, so the three giants in the empire are also gathered together at this moment.

After the introduction, General Luo Ning stopped talking nonsense and asked Li Yi to sit in a seat, and then said, "Lorry, this Chinese fortress is your territory, and Kane and I come to support you. You have also fought a lot with Sai's enemy. How to fight the next battle, let's talk about it first."

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Lori Legion stood up and said, "This time the Sai enemy attack was obviously prepared. Whether it is the army stationed outside the Chinese fortress at this moment or the Vanessa rebels who had just been eliminated by Ronin in the north, these are the decisions made by the Sai Empire after careful consideration. Although the Vanessa rebels have been destroyed, the war has begun. The Sai Empire wants to stop now, and our Tianlan Empire will not agree."

"Lorry, why did you make your old nagging problem again? Ronning wants to ask you what you think about the war in the future, not letting you tell you about these news that everyone knows." Commander Lori was still talking, but Commander Kane, who was sitting next to him, suddenly interrupted. After all, the three of them were all at the same level, so Captain Kane was not so polite when he spoke.

"Haha, sorry, I'm not consciously doing the old problem again." Hearing this, Commander of the Lori Legion was not angry, but said with a smile. "In fact, in the past, we had always had a constant dispute with the Sai Empire, but it was always a little friction. This time, the other party launched an attack on us without considering the consequences. At the beginning, the army stationed outside the fortress had been consumed by more than half a month. However, after my observation, I felt that the enemy troops outside the city still seemed to have 400,000."

"So, is the Sai Empire always sending reinforcements here continuously?" Before Lori finished speaking, General Luo Ning, who was standing beside him, also spoke.

"Yes, according to my observation, although the number of Sai's enemy troops is decreasing every day, the reduction is far less than expected. The only explanation is that their reinforcements are constantly." Hearing General Ronin's problem, Commander of the Lori said affirmatively.

"Now, do you think we should continue to stick to it, or take advantage of the current low morale of the enemy, we will send troops to face them head-on." Captain Kane's army also suggested in time.

"It's better not to give up our advantages. After all, we can still have a great advantage when we have dangers to defend." Lorry shook his head and said, hearing the suggestion of Captain Kane's Legion.

"Well, I also agree with Lori's view. The Chinese fortress is our biggest barrier. With this fortress, we can still greatly consume the enemy's troops." General Luo Ning also agreed with Lori's view and said out loud.

"Oh, you two old guys have won battles all their lives and have begun to learn to be stable. The opportunity for three legions to meet at the same time will take place once in a while. Now we have such a great advantage but don't make good use of it. This is a waste of resources." Seeing that the other two agreed to stick to the fortress, Captain Kane sighed.

"How can this be a waste of resources? Kane, war requires the greatest victory at the lowest price. After all, soldiers are also humans." General Luo Ning saw Kane sighing and persuaded him.

"I don't think so. Now there are nearly 1.4 million imperial troops stored in the Chinese fortress. Even if the enemy reinforcements are continuous outside the city, it will not exceed 500,000 at most. Chinese fortresses are good, but when we stand firm, more than one million troops cannot be used at the same time. If this is the case, what's the point of coming to support the Central Army and the Western Legion?" Commander Kane said carefully.

Hearing the words of the commander of Kane, Ronin and Lori nodded in agreement, then Ronin said, "Well, there is some truth, Kane, you continue to say."

Seeing that the attitudes of both of them seemed to be shaken, the commander of the Kane Legion couldn't help but feel energetic. Rubbed his hands and continued, "Look, this time, His Majesty sent three legions to the Chinese fortress at the same time. He didn't want us to use so many troops to defend one fortress. Instead, he hoped that we could make good use of our current advantage and attack the heartland of the Sai Empire. Can't you guess what Your Majesty mean? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Sai Empire is now at the end of its strength, and they can still insist on besieging the Chinese fortress, but they don't want to lose face. Then if they just siege but not attack, would we still wait? Until they recovered, the advantages of our Tianlan Empire would be gone at that time."

Listening to Captain Kane's legion after such a long and silence, General Luo Ning and Captain Lori's legion were both silent at the same time. Even Li Yi, who knew nothing about military affairs, felt that what Captain Kane's legion said was very reasonable.

After a little silence, General Luo Ning looked up and said, "Kane thought more. We had always considered the power of such a maximizing the strength of the preservation legion, but ignored the fact that the Sai Empire is now a strong outside and a middle-aged man."

"Yes, if you don't seize this opportunity and want to find it again in the future, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky." Commander of the Lori Legion also interrupted after silence. "Your Majesty really wants us to attack the heartland of the Sai Empire this time, not only can we destroy their majesty, but more importantly, if we win this time, the territory of our Tianlan Empire will probably expand a lot."

Seeing that both of them agreed with their views, the Captain of the Kane Legion smiled proudly, and then stopped talking.

"So, Lori, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Sai enemy stationed outside the city now?" After understanding the truth, General Luo Ning was not ready to hold on anymore, but Ma Shan asked Lori about the situation of the enemy troops outside the city.

"What should I say? After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Sai troops outside the city. If you want to talk about combat power, they are all professional soldiers of the Sai Empire, so don't underestimate the combat power. But after all, they can't capture the Chinese fortress for a long time. The morale of the enemy outside the city will definitely not be particularly high." Lori answered General Ronin's question.

"Okay, as long as we can ensure that the momentum of their soldiers is not high enough. A Chinese fortress not only consumes their troops, but also probably has greatly consumed the morale of the opponent. Now we have such a great advantage in military strength. As long as our commander does not make too many mistakes, our counterattack should be started." General Luo Ning was a soldier who had fought for half his life and acted decisively. After determining the direction of the attack, he began to discuss specific matters of counterattack with the other two commanders.

After half a day of discussion, the general offensive steps were taken. Several legion commanders were very satisfied with their arrangements. After the discussion, everyone left the command center.

After leaving the command center, General Luo Ning spoke to Li Yi: "Li Yi, from tomorrow, we will face a real tough battle. The Sai enemy is not as easy as those rebels, so be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, General Li Yi will act cautiously."

"Well, by the way. You should have heard just now that in the counterattack that will start tomorrow, the cavalry will play an important role. Several legions will send a knights' order to attack each. Your Second Knights will fight this battle for our Central Army. I hope you don't let me down."

Li Yi was not much surprised when he heard this arrangement. He saluted solemnly and said seriously: "Yes, General, don't worry, the Second Knights will definitely not disappoint the general."

Hearing Li Yi's promise, General Luo Ning smiled with satisfaction, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Early the next morning, the Sai army began to attack the Chinese fortress as usual.

Now the Chinese Fortress has gathered the forces of three legions and has a ease in defense. Looking at the Sai enemy who is fearless under the city, Li Yi only feels that the other party is launching a suicide attack on the Chinese Fortress.

"Li Yi, you will really not let me follow you after you go out of the city to meet the enemy." Standing beside Li Yi, Alice said pitifully to Li Yi.

In response to this, Li Yi just looked at the enemy troops siege under the city indifferently, and remained silent.

This is not Li Yi's fault. Although the total strength of the Tianlan Empire is far higher than that of the Sai Empire, even so, it must be very dangerous to launch a counterattack against the Sai enemy. After Alice learned that Li Yi was going to lead the Second Knights out of the city to fight the enemy this morning, Alice began to pester Li Yi and asked Li Yi to take her with her this time.

Li Yi is not such a stern person, but this battle will definitely be full of danger. Although Alice is also a strong man, she really can't guarantee that Alice will be safe and sound in such a battle of tens of thousands of people. Even if she has the fourth level of strength, Li Yi dare not ensure that she will be unharmed.

So when faced with Alice who had been pestering her since the beginning of the morning, Li Yi could only treat her as air and remained silent.

Seeing Li Yi's appearance of not getting into the air, Alice could only blink her big eyes and stare at Li Yi with aggrievedness, and then sighed dejectedly. Alice also knew that Li Yi would not allow him to participate in this level of war for his own good.

No longer entangled with Li Yi, Alice began to check Li Yi's armor carefully, and then said softly: "Forget it, I won't make trouble with you. After leaving the city later, be careful in everything. When the situation is not good, you must sign up first. Don't show off. I'll wait for you to come back here."

Seeing Alice's tender look, Li Yi no longer pretended to be cold. He touched Alice's forehead with pity, and Li Yi also said softly: "Don't worry, I won't have any problems. I dare not say that I will win, but when it comes to saving my life, I am still mostly sure."

Alice didn't say anything, but just worried about checking Li Yi over and over again.

After half a day of maintenance, several legion commanders saw that the enemy was exhausted. The Legion Commander Lori said, "It's almost time to send troops. Now the enemy is exhausted, and they probably wouldn't have thought that we would take the initiative after we held on for so many days."
