"Well, okay, just come back. Let's talk about it first. There are no outsiders inside, only Elena is inside." After that, Betina led Li Yi into the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
"Hey, man, who is this guy named Li Yi? Commander Betina has never laughed before when he came to our Yanlong Legion. Unexpectedly, he smiled as soon as he saw him. Could it be our old lover?" After Li Yi followed Betina into the main hall of the city lord's mansion, one guard and another said.
"Shh, whisper. You are looking for death. It's time to come. You dare to criticize the affairs between adults. Just guard your posts, and we can't ask about other things." Another guard said to his companion sternly. However, after he finished speaking, the guard couldn't help but show a little yd expression and whispered: "But from me, what you said is not impossible."
Just as the two guards were bored gossiping, Li Yi had already followed Betina into the main hall. After coming in, Li Yi saw Elena with a sad face.
"Hello Miss Elena, I'm visiting late at night, I hope it won't cause you inconvenience." Li Yi said politely in response to Elena's gaze.
"Li Yi, it's time for you, don't be polite. Are you the only one coming back this time? Yadi and the others, why didn't they follow you into the city?" He interrupted Li Yi's polite words helplessly, and Betina forced herself to pick up some energy and asked Li Yi.
After touching my nose awkwardly, Li Yi spoke to Betina and said, "Yadi and Pat are helping my troops outside the city to support the formation. The situation outside the city is too complicated now. I can't bring my team into the city together, so I can only come in and explore the situation myself."
"Your team? It's the team of 300 soldiers? Alas, let them hide outside the city first. It's impossible to enter the city in this situation. Don't let them go to other cities. In the current China-Pakistan province, all the troops of the Flame Dragon Legion are concentrated in Xicheng. If they go to other cities, they will only fall into danger." Betina didn't say anything, but Alina sighed from the side.
"Well, although not many, my team has more than 10,000 people. But they are all cavalrymen. Because the number of people cannot compete with the opponent, I can only let them avoid it for the time being." Li Yi had no intention of showing off, but just told the Betina sisters that he brought back this time.
"What? There are more than 10,000 people? They are all cavalry? Li Yi, I really didn't expect that you would develop your troops so quickly. I would have lent you 30,000 troops at that time. In that case, when you come back this time, will you bring us a million troops?" Hearing Li Yi's words, Betina rarely made a joke.
"Haha, it's just luck. I met my former subordinate in Jingchuan Province. After discussing it with him, I borrowed more than 10,000 people from him. But I didn't expect that the enemies you Xicheng face this time would be so difficult. The few people I brought back were not enough to fight with the other party. By the way, Brother Alvin was really dead in the battle?" Although I didn't want to mention it, Li Yi still had to ask about Alvin's situation.
When he heard Li Yi’s problem with his elder brother, Elena’s eyes turned red unconsciously. After all, Bettina had been practicing outside for many years. Although she was very sad, she still tried to help Li Yi and said, “Well, in fact, the difficulty of Xicheng this time was too sudden. I heard from my elder brother and the others that some surrounding forces have been resentful of our Yanlong Legion occupying Xicheng. But they have always been because our Yanlong Legion is not weak, and they have not taken action either. But unexpectedly, this time, three legions joined forces and fought against our Xicheng at the same time. And they still took action when my elder brother Alvin escorted the grain to other provinces to deliver food. As a result, my elder brother Alvin was surrounded by the enemy and died in the battlefield.”
"Oh, let's be sad. But I heard before that your Yanlong Legion also has 200,000 troops. Now that all the troops have been summoned in Xicheng, it should have the power to fight with the other party." After touching his nose, Li Yi did not talk about Alvin again, but instead talked about the current situation.
Hearing Li Yi ask this, Betina smiled and said, "Actually, the situation in Xicheng is not particularly critical now. It's just that the death of the elder brother made our Yanlong Legion's soldiers feel very depressed. And the enemy is coming in a fierce manner this time, and the army is directly under Xicheng City. At this time, we urgently need someone who can stabilize the morale of the army. Elena and I are both females, and that boy Barak lacks the temperament of a leader. After thinking about it, I have to find you back and hope you can help me."
Hearing Betina say this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Looking at the two embarrassing sisters in front of him, Li Yi said with a funny look: "I really didn't expect that you called me back in such a hurry just to stabilize my morale."
Looking at Li Yi's smile, Betina reluctantly waved the sad face on her face and squeezed out a smile and said to Li Yi: "There is no other way. Although the current Yanlong Army is united in fighting against the enemy, after all, my elder brother's death has had a significant impact on these soldiers. The soldiers who are now standing on the city wall want to tear the enemy and avenge my dead elder brother. But from their eyes, I can also see some of their concerns about the future prospects of the Yanlong Army."
Listening to Betina's narrative, Li Yi can now feel Betina's embarrassment. As a fifth-level strongman, although Betina's strength is enough to shock her current subordinates. But after all, Betina is a woman, and in the army, it is always difficult to establish a woman's prestige.
Of course, Margaret is an exception. Her prestige in the Wu'an Legion is far more than their waste husband and the waste monarch. But Margaret was able to do this, but after more than ten years of silent efforts, she has reached this point today.
As a leader who had just returned to the Flame Dragon Legion, the majesty that Margaret could produce at this time cannot be compared with that of Margaret in the Wu'an Legion.
Although Elena has been working silently for the Flame Dragon Legion, it has also been hiding behind Evan in the early years. At this time, the deterrent power that Elena can produce in the army is not much higher than Betina.
So looking at the embarrassing sisters Betina, Li Yi was unable to be stern at this time. Touching his nose, Li Yi said to Betina lightly: "Okay, then let's not talk about this for now. How many troops of the Flame Dragon Legion are gathered in the Xicheng City? And the enemies of the city outside the city belong to which force, their strength is all, and the soldiers sent from which province."
Since she was called here by the Betina sisters as a shield, Li Yi could only respond to this job against the scalp. After all, at this time, the other party could remember him, and he could already see how much the other party valued him. With Li Yi's personality, he naturally did not want to disappoint the sisters.
So seeing that things could not be changed, Li Yi asked about the specific situation in Xicheng now. After all, just by looking with his own eyes, it is impossible to see the strength comparison between the enemy and us.
When Bettina heard Li Yi ask about the current situation of the battle, she obviously seemed a little out of the way. After giving Elena, who was sitting beside her, Bettina turned around and sat down.
Seeing Betina's eyes, Elena also stood up from the seat. Elena's psychological quality was obviously much better than Betina. Although Elena's death caused a great blow to both the sisters. However, Elena was obviously much calmer than Betina at this time. After standing up from the seat, although Elena did not smile at Li Yi, there was no sadness on her face.
Looking directly at Li Yi, Elena began to whisper: "The enemies who besieged Xicheng this time came from Dongxing Province and Nanzong Province around Zhongba Province. Among them, the Pas Legion of Nanzong Province was the main force in the attack on Xicheng. Among the coalition forces outside the city, there were a total of 100,000 troops. The giant army and Kaban in the Dongxing Province sent 50,000 troops respectively to cooperate with the Pas Legion to form a siege of our Xicheng."
"Well, then, it seems that the Pas Legion has coveted Xicheng. Now I don't know what means to use, and I can tell the other two legions to help him attack the city together. I think that if Xicheng is captured, the Pas Legion will give the other two legions a great benefit." Listening to Elena's statement, Li Yi began to analyze slowly.
"Well, probably that's it. In fact, since a long time ago, we knew that the Pas Legion was worried about our Flame Dragon Legion occupying Xicheng. My brother and I snatched the ownership of Xicheng from them. The Pas Legion has been eyeing us over the years, but they have not taken the initiative due to their limited strength. But they did not expect that this time they did not know what method they used, and they even told the other two legions to help them attack us. Because they were hasty to face the enemy, the current morale of the Flame Dragon Legion is not stable." Speaking of this, Elena showed a little sad look for the first time.
"It's okay, since the opponent has already attacked, we will take action and take the lead. Fortunately, we have not yet been defeated. I also saw it when we were watching the battle outside the city during the day. Although the Pas legion was coming in a fierce manner, at least in a short period of time, it was impossible for them to conquer Xicheng. In fact, to be honest, I really can't understand why the Pas legion had to spend so much effort to do such a pleasing thing. Even if they finally conquer Xicheng, he
We will inevitably be severely damaged. We will also benefit the other two legions. In this way, the losses of the Pas Legion should be difficult to predict. Could it be that this Xicheng City is really so charming that other forces can pay such a great price to come and snatch it?" After Li Yi figured out the current situation, he finally began to be curious about the other party's purpose. In Li Yi's impression, no matter how charming a city is, it should not be possible for some forces to pay such a price.
But in the face of Li Yi's problem, Elena calmed down. Pointing her finger to the map on the wall, Elena said lightly: "If you want to talk about the value of this Xicheng, it is really worth robbing some other forces at a great price. As a grain silo in the southern border of Sain, the major forces wanted to seize it. In fact, not only in the southern border of Sain, but also when our Sain Empire was in full swing, the value of Xicheng was incomparable to other forces. Especially at this moment, the entire Sain Empire this year was famine. Many places have reduced production, and some places have not even produced a kilogram of food. Although Xicheng has also been affected, the lean camel is larger than a horse. If the food produced by Xicheng this year is robbed by other forces, it can solve many problems."
After hearing Elena's words, Li Yi finally understood the current situation. In this era of constant wars, the importance of food is incomparable to anything else. If you want to conquer cities and land without food as a support, it is simply empty talk.
After thinking through this, Li Yi smiled and said to Elena, "Oh, I can understand it if you tell me this. It seems that the two other legions of the Pas Legion launched a large-scale advance to the Yanlong Legion this time, and it is not just to invade your Yanlong Legion. So before, Brother Alvin went to deliver food to other cities, because other cities in the China-Pakistan province were somewhat affected during this year's famine year. So, after losing some of the food, how long can the current food stock in your Xicheng be eaten? And how many troops are there in Xicheng?"
"Although there was a famine this year, Xicheng still produces enough food. There are still 180,000 soldiers in the city, and if the food stored in the city wants to support these 180,000 soldiers, it will be at least two years." Elena was still very at ease when talking about the current situation in Xicheng.
Li Yi was also very satisfied when he heard Elena's reply. Although Xicheng is now surrounded by the enemy, at least there are not many worries in Xicheng now. The only problem is that after learning that his leader was killed in battle, the momentum of the soldiers was somewhat affected.
After sorting out these questions, Li Yi asked Elena: "So, what are you going to deal with the danger of Xicheng this time? Should you take the initiative to go out to meet the enemy, or should you be ready to defend Xicheng until you drag the enemy to death."
"Oh, I'm also in a mess now. In fact, at this time, I still want to defend the city. After all, if we don't take advantage of the defense, it's difficult to directly compete with the opponent's 200,000 troops. Even if we can win in the end, we may be seriously injured in the end." Speaking of the current situation, Elena said lightly.
"So, you still want to stick to the city. Since you have already made plans in your heart, why do you still have to worry? The scale of Xicheng is very large. Among the cities I have seen, except for the Senna King City, this Xicheng is the largest. With such an advantage, I believe we can hold on to the enemy's invasion." After thinking about it, Li Yi was also defending the city from the ground. After all, although the other party is coming in a fierce manner this time, it is obviously impossible for them to siege the city for a long time in this famine year. And if the other party wants to fight quickly, they will naturally spare the lives of their soldiers.
