But Li Yi was very moved by this. After all, since he was given up by King Tianlan as an abandoned soldier, Li Yi was wary of anyone who wanted to dominate him. And just when Alvin proposed, Li Yi even heard Lincoln behind him snorting a gentle cold snort.
So after a while of silence, Li Yi smiled and said, "Haha, I don't think it's necessary to come to the Yanlong Legion. We are used to being casual and still like a life without anyone to take care of it. I heard that you are in trouble before, so we followed Betina to take a look. Since it was a false alarm, we were not going to disturb us here."
Hearing Li Yi say he wants to leave, Betina quickly said, "Li Yi, are you going? Where are you going? You just came here, why are you leaving?"
"Haha, aren't we going to form our own mercenary group before? If we want to develop our power, we can't always get involved in you. You don't have to worry. No matter where we are, we will develop the same thing and nothing will happen." Li Yi said with a smile at Betina.
After saying that, Li Yi suddenly remembered something, then turned to Alvin and said, "Brother Alvin, although I think it is indeed peaceful here, it shouldn't be as simple as it seems. After all, according to Betina, this stream city is a granary-like existence, so can other forces really be willing to see you occupy this place?"
After hearing Li Yi suddenly asked about this, Alvin said after being silent for a while, "Haha, okay, I won't hide it from you. In fact, letting Betina come back this time is because our Yanlong Legion is preparing to make some big moves. You are right. Although this Xicheng is good, it is also a hot potato. We occupy this place, which has actually made some other forces eyeing it. In order to dispel their greed, we are going to take action to eliminate one or two small forces this time to shock them."
"Haha, okay, since Brother Alvin already has plans in his heart, my worries are redundant. I'll disturb us tonight and give us a few rooms to spend the night. Tomorrow morning, Yadi and others will set off." After hearing Alvin's plans, Li Yi stopped talking about this.
"Li Yi, you are really ready to leave. Stay here. Didn't you say you wanted to help me restore my country before?" Seeing Li Yi repeatedly mentioning leaving, Betina said anxiously.
"Don't worry, the promises I made by Li Yi will definitely be fulfilled. I will develop in other places, which will also help you. Isn't this what you once thought, disperse your power and then explode in a collective way in the future." Li Yi shook his head stubbornly, and said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Yi was determined to leave, Betina no longer tried to keep him. After just discussing with Alvin for a while, Betina spoke to Li Yi, "Since you insist on leaving, I won't do more to keep him. But the strength of our God of Killing Mercenary Group is indeed too weak. I discussed with my elder brother and allocated you a thousand soldiers as the capital for development. You will not refuse this anymore."
Li Yi originally wanted to refuse Betina's kindness, but when he heard Betina say that the God-killing Mercenary Group used "we", Li Yi's eyes also flashed with relief. He clasped his fists at Alvin, and Li Yi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Li Yi accepted it with a smile."
"It's easy to say, if possible in the future, Brother Li should come and walk around more often." He also clasped his fists at Li Yi and said with a smile.
Seeing that everything was almost over, Li Yi was about to leave with the few people behind him. However, when he was about to leave, Elena, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Li Yi, if you believe in your own strength, you should go to Jingchuan Province. The situation there is complicated, but it is also a good place for development."
Hearing Elena's suggestion, Li Yi looked back in surprise and looked at the girl who seemed to be the same as Alice. He nodded happily. Li Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will consider your suggestions more." After that, Li Yi and his group left the hall of the city lord's mansion.
The next morning, Li Yi and his group came to the schoolyard in Xicheng under the leadership of the people sent by Betina. Although the schoolyard was quite chaotic, many troops were training in the square formation. However, as soon as Li Yi arrived at the schoolyard, he saw Betina and the thousand soldiers standing in front of her at a glance.
When he walked up to Betina with Yadi and others, Li Yi smiled and said to Betina: "Hehe, Sister Betina got up so early. Look at your spirit now, you are much fuller than when you were in the Tianlan Empire. It seems that it is really a happy thing for relatives to get together."
"Haha, you say so much. Come and see if the thousand elite soldiers I have picked for you can get into your General Li's eyes." He smiled and greeted Li Yi, Betty pointed at the thousand soldiers who were ready to go on the school ground.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but turn his eyes to them. Although he couldn't assert whether these soldiers were really like Betina said, at least when he looked, Li Yi exuded momentum from these soldiers and felt that the combat power of this thousand-person army should not be too weak.
He nodded with satisfaction, and then Li Yi smiled and said to Betina, "Haha, Sister Betina is really generous. If it weren't for your generous support, I really didn't think about where to go to slowly gather troops."
When he heard Li Yi's words, Betina frowned first, and then said to Li Yi with a little complaint: "Okay, please don't be polite to me. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I will not forget that you have helped us brothers and sisters in the Tianlan Empire. Now I can help you with some things, so I can feel more at ease."
"Haha, why bother to care so much about those things? What we did was not for the purpose of seeking rewards. Don't mention these things in the future. Always saying such words will hurt your kindness." Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't say much in the future." Seeing Li Yi's serious look, a more gratifying expression flashed across Betina's face. After a while of silence, Betina continued to speak: "Actually, after you left last night, I discussed with my elder brother and the others. I originally planned to follow you to develop in Jingchuan Province. After all, to be honest, I, a war idiot, can't help them. I still like a free life very much. It should be very exciting to follow you there."
Hearing Betina say this, Li Yi first stared at Betina for a while. When the other party felt a little cramped, Li Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, it seems that Sister Betina is still very self-aware, but she can clearly position herself."
Li Yi's words made Betina stunned at first. After thinking for a while, he pretended to be angry and said to Li Yi: "Get out, I'm just modest. You really dare to look down on me, right? Tell you, Betina, I just disdain these things. If I want to do it, who else can be better than me?"
Looking at Betina who was extremely "indignant", Li Yi shrugged meaninglessly, but afterwards he didn't say anything more.
After everyone was silent, Betina and Li Yi looked at the thousand soldiers under the school ground together. After thinking for a long time, they slowly spoke: "Actually, the reason why I want to leave here is because I feel it is difficult for me to integrate into the environment of Xicheng. To be honest, Li Yi, although I have only been back here for a day, here, I don't even feel that I am in the Killing God Mercenary Group to reassure me. Just because I have found my elder brother and younger sister, do you think I will not develop the Killing God Mercenary Group with you again?"
Li Yi, who was originally looking at the soldiers off the field casually, heard Betina's feelings, and couldn't help but stare at Betina with a strange look. After a while, Li Yi smiled and said, "Haha, Sister Betina's words are so heavy. In fact, it is difficult for anyone to integrate into a new environment so quickly. Maybe after a while, you will fall in love with this place. After all, here, you can enjoy family affection with your elder brother and younger sister, right? But Li Yi also tells you here clearly that if you really feel tired of life here, you can leave here and find us. When the Killing God Mercenary Group was established, the registered staff in the group had a man named Tang Yu. How could our companions give up so easily?"
Looking at Li Yi's relaxed smile, Betina remained silent for a long time. For some reason, although Betina could occasionally feel that the person in front of her was actually trying to use her own strength, but Betina was hard to disgust him. Li Yi's image had nothing to do with Yushu Linfeng, but Betina always felt that there was a charming temperament in him all the time.
After looking at Li Yi in a daze for a long time, Betina adjusted her emotions, and then said to Li Yi with emotion: "Haha, okay, I remember everything you said, but don't wait until I go to you with shamelessness, and you will turn your back on your face."
"Sister is joking, how could that happen?" Li Yi answered very readily about Betina's doubts.
Seeing the end of reminiscing, Li Yi finally pointed at the soldiers off the field and said to Betina softly: "Sister Betina, I still want to ask more questions. Although the soldiers you picked out are excellent, how can I lead them? After all, these people are all regular soldiers, and now they are summoned on the school ground. Then I opened my mouth and told them that I would take them to be war mercenaries. This seems to be a very difficult thing."
When Bettina heard Li Yi's concerns, she was obviously stunned. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Li Yi said was really something worth caring about. If these soldiers were asked to come on the field to kill the enemy, they would naturally not hesitate. But they told them to let them get out of the Flame Dragon Legion and then follow someone they didn't know before to be war mercenaries. These soldiers were very difficult to accept. Even if they could forcefully give them orders to follow Li Yi, this would also reduce the combat effectiveness of this army a lot.
After thinking about it for a long time, Betina could only sigh dejectedly, and then said to Li Yi awkwardly: "I really didn't think of what you said before. What are your plans now? It's not an easy thing to slowly develop your team."
In response to this, Li Yi couldn't help but fall into a deep thought. He stared at the soldiers on the field thoughtfully. After thinking for a long time, Li Yi slowly spoke to Betina: "Sister Betina, can you do this? Let Yadi and I follow the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion to participate in a few days of training, and then I will win over helpers in the barracks. Three days later, I will see how many helpers I can find. I think, maybe I should contact them first so that they can follow me wholeheartedly."
Hearing Li Yi's proposal, Betina frowned and thought for a while. After thinking for a while, Betina slowly spoke: "Well, your idea is good. I think brother and the others should not object, I will make the decision on this matter. Then when will you start?"
"Now, that's now. You first order people to disband these thousand soldiers, and then get us a few sets of armor. From today on, I will also play the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion for a few days." Speaking of this, Li Yi's eyes also began to flash.
Seeing Li Yi's excited look, Betina smiled knowingly. She was about to turn around and leave, but she seemed to suddenly think of something. Betina walked back to Li Yi and then said to Li Yi seriously: "Li Yi, there is actually one thing I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't know if you will accept it, so she has never spoken."
Li Yi, who was originally immersed in joy, first smiled when he heard Betina's words, then looked at Betina thoughtfully and said jokingly: "Well, Sister Betina has something to say, and you can just say anything in the future. I, Li Yi, are not the kind of stingy person."
Looking straight at Li Yi, Bettina smiled and said, "Haha, it's not a big deal. I just came into contact with you from the beginning. I wanted to tell you why you had to make such a sloppy look? Since you want to do something big, why don't you start with your own image first? Always like this, your subordinates will not have too much affection for you."
Hearing Bettina's suggestion, Li Yi couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He reached out and touched the beard that had blocked half of his face, and then subconsciously brushed away the greasy long hair that was blocking his eyes. Only then did Li Yi realize that his sloppy image had been maintained for almost ten years. At first, he was immersed in the pain of losing Alice and was too lazy to take care of his image. Later, because he was used to this casual life, he didn't care about his image even more. Over time, he became like this.
Seeing that Li Yi was just fiddling with his hair and beard and didn't say anything, Betina continued to speak: "Although I don't know why you had to make it like this, I'm just now here in the southern border of Sainian. And so many years have passed for your affairs, you don't have to use this method to protect yourself. I guess, even if you return to your former appearance, no one will recognize you."
Seeing Bettina repeatedly urged herself to take care of her, Li Yi touched her nose helplessly after thinking for a while, and then smiled and said to Bettina: "Okay, okay, since my elder sister has spoken, I'll just obey my destiny. Sister, let's do what I told her first, after all, we have to seize every time to do the serious business now."
