Looking at Mel with a frustrated look, Li Yi sighed slightly. Facing this old subordinate at that time, Li Yi really didn't know how to reject him. But if he really agreed to his request, how should Li Yi define his identity? Is he a general of the Wu'an Legion or a general of the Central Legion?
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yi suddenly looked up, pulled Mel into the corner, and whispered to Mel: "Mel, do you really want to recognize me as the leader?"
As for Li Yi's question that was obviously a waste of time, Mel nodded and said, "Yes, in my heart, you will always be the best regiment commander. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought the cavalry regiment to Rhone to find you this time. I just hope that the regiment commander, you can come back and lead your brothers to war."
Although Mel's answer was also what Li Yi thought. But when Li Yi actually heard his answer, Li Yi couldn't help but pat Mel's shoulder in emotion.
After a little emotion, Li Yi said to Mel seriously: "Okay, Mel, I ask you, are you obsessed with power?"
When she heard Li Yi’s question like this, Mel was obviously stunned. After thinking for a while, she said to Li Yi seriously: “Well… If you say you are obsessed, of course you are not very obsessed. It’s just that power is a good thing after all, I just like it.”
Mel's answer was a bit vague, and it was obvious that Li Yi was not very satisfied with his answer. So after hesitating for a long time, Li Yi made up his mind and said to Mel: "Mel, I will ask you directly. Can I ask your Wu'an Legion directly into the Wu'an Legion? In this way, I can lead you to charge together without facing any embarrassing questions."
When he heard Li Yi's suggestion, Mel was really shocked. He never thought that his old leader would have made such a decision as soon as he spoke. Although the Central Army is not a super powerful force, it is still a strong existence in the Jingchuan Province. Now Li Yi casually spoke, just to ask Mel to lead his people to surrender to the Wu'an Army. Not to mention that Mel didn't want this, even if Mel decided to bring his people to join the Wu'an Army, it depends on whether Margaret dared to ask.
So after hesitating for a while, Mel said embarrassedly: "Captain, to be honest, if this Wu'an Legion belongs to you, then I will go back and take people to you immediately, and even the Lingcheng can be denied. But, the Wu'an Legion is an outsider's leader after all. If we brothers come here with people, then Margaret may not dare to take us in. I am not exaggerating it. Let me ask, which leader dares to accept another force's inexplicable surrender."
When Li Yi heard Mel's concerns, he smiled helplessly. Li Yi had thought about what Mel said. But this was the best solution that Li Yi could think of. If not, it would be really difficult for Li Yi to stay in the Central Army.
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly sighed that when he first came to Jingchuan Province, why was the first person he met was not Mel, but Margaret?
However, no matter how you feel, what Li Yi has to face now is how to solve the embarrassing problem in front of you.
Should I stay in the Wu'an Legion or follow my old subordinates back to Lingcheng to develop. After thinking about it, Li Yi finally sighed deeply and said helplessly to Mel: "Forget it, I think I have to continue to stay in the Wu'an Legion. After all, before the war started, Margaret told me all the secrets of the Wu'an Legion. If I leave like this and join the forces of his opponents, I always feel a little unrighteous."
Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Mel also looked helpless. Seeing that Li Yi had made up his mind to continue to stay in the Wu'an Legion, Mel had to say in a deep voice: "Okay, Commander, since you insist on here, I won't force you, brother. Just let me ask you the last question. If one day, the Wu'an Legion wants to mobilize troops to our Central Legion, will you stand on our side or on the Wu'an Legion?"
Although Mel's question is simple, it is also very sensitive. After hearing this, Li Yi was obviously trapped in endless thinking. It was also when Mel reminded that Li Yi realized this problem.
The Wu'an Legion now has already calculated the entire Jingchuan Province. If the plan goes well, sooner or later, the Wu'an Legion will meet the Central Legion on the battlefield. At that time, it is very likely that the Wu'an Legion has a far superior strength. In that case, how will Li Yi make a decision?
After seeing Li Yi's answer to his question, he fell into silence. After waiting for a long time, he did not answer. Mel smiled helplessly, and then said to Li Yi: "Okay, commander, I won't make you embarrassed. If it weren't for you, I would have given up on myself in the Senna Royal City. You can say that your life was rescued from Senna Royal City, so we will be your soldiers in this life. When I go back, I will talk to them, and the Central Army will wait for the inclusion of the Wu'an Army in Lingcheng."
Hearing Mel say this, Li Yi finally woke up from his thoughts. Looking at Mel with a sincere face, Li Yi couldn't say anything except touch. He reached out and patted Mel on the shoulder, and Li Yi said seriously: "Good brother, don't worry, follow me, I will do my best to make you survive on the battlefield."
"Haha, OK, regiment commander, I believe you. But regiment commander, you should pay attention to it, that is, how can we make Margaret believe that our Central Army really want to join the Wu'an Legion. This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise I think Margaret would rather decide the victory or defeat with our Central Army on the battlefield than to directly recruit our troops like this." Staring at Li Yi seriously, Mel said in a low voice.
Seeing Mel repeatedly mentioning this question, Li Yi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why is this happening? Margaret's idea is to fight for the entire Jingchuan Province. When your Central Army introduced me to me before, I could feel that she should be reluctant to fight with you. Because when introducing her, she emphasized that the soldiers of the Central Army are all brave and good at fighting. In this case, why would she not be willing to accept our peaceful solution?"
Mel smiled mysteriously at Li Yi's question. Then he said, "Captain, you strong men don't like to play these intrigue things, so you can't consider many details. Just imagine, how do you tell Margaret about our Central Army? I have told you just now that you have the 70,000 troops of the Wu'an Army, which is already enough for Margaret to be afraid of. If you tell Margaret to ask Margaret to incorporate the Central Army, she will definitely ask you why we accept the incorporation. At that time, if you say that we are your old subordinates, then what do you think she will do? We are your old subordinates, and after joining the Wu'an Army, you will inevitably ask to follow your command. In this way, you have more than 100,000 troops in your hands, almost three times that of Margaret's troops. If this is true, how do you let that woman treat you."
Listening to Mel's talk, Li Yi really felt speechless. He never liked to guess like this, so Li Yi never thought about it so much. Even though he had considered these issues a few days ago, he didn't take it too seriously after thinking about it. After all, Li Yi always treated Margaret as an old friend of the past, and never defined the identity of the two in his leader and subordinates.
But when I was listening to Mel's concerns, Li Yi also felt that Mel was right. If I really accepted the Central Army, then I would have more than 100,000 troops in my hands. If I were in the Tianlanmo Empire, Li Yi could be the commander of the commander.
The good mood I felt after seeing Mel was completely lost on these messy issues. With an unhappy look, Li Yi said angrily: "Damn, this is not OK, that is not OK. Why do I always have so many suspicions? I really can't figure it out."
Seeing Li Yi's anger, Mel immediately spoke, "Okay, Commander, this situation is not the first to happen to you. Since ancient times, there have been such problems between the monarch and his subjects, which is inevitable. I think this is better. For the time being, our Central Army will not talk about joining the Wu'an Army. Let's go back to Lingcheng first. After you sweep the other forces in the Jingchuan Province, I will just surrender directly. I guess by then, Margaret will no longer suspect our sincerity in surrender."
Hearing Mel say this, Li Yi can only say helplessly: "It's just that, I feel a little wronged. If you join the Wu'an Legion now, then the military power will probably be in your hands. If you surrender at that time, you will only become an ordinary officer."
But in response to this, Mel smiled generously and said frankly: "It's okay, as long as you can follow the commander of the regiment to fight south and north. To be honest, I really look forward to you now being able to unify the Jingchuan Province. At that time, our brothers will go out to fight together, and sooner or later, the entire Sainan territory will surrender to our feet."
Looking at Mel who was talking loudly in front of him, Li Yi smiled with relief.
Turning around and looking at the sky in the distance, Li Yi said to Mel lightly: "Mel, do you know why I have been away for so many years and are now standing on the battlefield."
"If I think well, it should be because of Alice. Leader, when Alice died, I saw your rage with my own eyes. And when we met, when we talked to you about King Tianlan several times, I could see a very heavy murderous intent in your eyes. You are actually trying to do this right now, right?" Mel stared at Li Yi and said with great certainty.
After hearing Mel's guess, Li Yi was really surprised. Unexpectedly, this seemingly stupid old subordinate was so accurate in seeing things.
Having touched his nose habitually, Li Yi said with a smile: "Well, you are not right at all. I am doing all this now to avenge Alice. You should take your men back to Lingcheng first, and I will definitely solve the affairs of the Wu'an Legion and the Central Legion soon. But now I still have to solve the affairs of the Dalin Legion first, after all, they can pose a threat to the Wu'an Legion."
But when Li Yi spoke seriously about the Darling Legion, Mel smiled and said contemptuously: "Hmph, in my eyes, the little Darling Legion is nothing more than a native chicken and a tile."
Looking at Meier with a smile, Li Yi suddenly felt that the old subordinate in front of him had already had a faint sense of a superior after being hang out in Jingchuan Province for so many years.
Touching his nose, Li Yi asked with a smile: "Then tell me, why did the Dalin Legion stationed 100,000 troops in Dalin City, but it became like a native chicken and a tile dog?"
Faced with Li Yi's problem, Mel still smiled confidently before slowly speaking: "Captain, did you not notice any problems when fighting against the Rhone Legion?"
Seeing that Mel not only did not answer his question, he asked him back. After Li Yi hesitated for a while, he immediately fell into thinking.
The battle with Rhone's army is actually Li Yi's complete abuse of Rhone. From beginning to end, Li Yi didn't care much about the battle between ordinary soldiers.
However, although the end of that battle was a bit dramatic, after thinking about it for a while, Li Yi still thought about the difference between that battle and some of the past battles.
After pondering for a while, Li Yi slowly spoke: "When fighting with the Rhone Legion, I felt that the soldiers of the Rhone Legion seemed to lack training, at least formal training. And not only the Rhone Legion, but also the soldiers of the Wu'an Legion. After the two armies confronted each other, the soldiers had a complete melee and no formation at all. It can be said that their fight was just based on their bloodline."
Listening to Li Yi's answer, Mel nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you have noticed this too, Commander, and you have noticed this. Yes, in Jingchuan Province, although there are many soldiers in each legion, the soldiers in the legion have one common disadvantage, which is the lack of formal training."
"Well, that's true, then?" Li Yi nodded in agreement and continued to ask.
"In fact, it is not only Jingchuan Province, but also in the entire southern Sainian territory, it is difficult to find the soldiers in several legions who are well-trained. After all, the southern Sainian territory is supported by a group of rebel troops. Although they are passionate, they really cannot compare with the regular army. Basically, most of the forces that can be ranked first in the southern Sainian territory rely on the indigenous people here to form troops. Instead of calling them soldiers, it is better to call them militias." Mel spoke happily, and his tone revealed his contempt for some forces in the southern Sainian territory.
With Li Yi's mind, when he heard this, he could hear the meaning of Mel's words. Looking at Mel with a smile, Li Yi asked faintly: "So, do you still want to say that the soldiers in your Central Army are not comparable to those militias. All your soldiers have undergone rigorous training, right?"
