Under Philip's temptation, Bethhild's eyes turned red.

However, just when Philip thought he could succeed, Bethhild sighed heavily and said softly:

"Your Majesty, your offer is very tempting, but you still allow me to refuse it."

Bethhild said this with extraordinary firmness.

Chapter 108: Damn it, do you think I’m made of clay?

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but please allow me to refuse."

Bethhild exhaled heavily, her tone unusually firm.

No one knew what kind of struggle he had just gone through in his heart.

"Why, are the conditions I proposed not enough? If so, just ask, and I will definitely arrange it for you as long as I can."

After receiving Bethhild's negative answer, Philip couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He had just clearly seen a look of desire in Bethhild's eyes, so why did she suddenly reject him so decisively?

And he thought the conditions he proposed were good enough.

This condition is simply telling Beshild that as long as he is willing to go back and return to the Elek Empire, he will directly become the number one person in the Elek Empire's military.

No one else can command him except His Majesty the Emperor.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Bethhild had been coveting the Griffin Knights for a long time.

He had proposed several times to resign from the post of legion commander and become an ordinary officer in the Griffin Knights, but all requests were rejected by him.

This time he asked Bethhild to directly serve as the leader of the Griffin Knights, but he was not moved by it?

This made Philip a little confused.

"No, Your Majesty, the conditions you offer are very generous, even to the point where I can't believe it."

"To be honest, each of the conditions you proposed can drive a soldier crazy. If it were five years ago, after hearing your conditions, I might have gone back with you immediately without any hesitation."

Bethhild shook her head slightly, indicating that this was not a question of whether the conditions were generous or not.

"Why is that? Although Yas City seems to be prosperous now, you should understand that this newly rising force is bound to encounter various tests. Moreover, this location outside the domain means that you will be constantly harassed by the Eternal Night in the future. Can your development here be better than that of the human race?"

"Could it be possible that Alina could offer you the same conditions as mine?"

Philip frowned in confusion, he couldn't figure out why.

"Your Majesty, the reason is very simple. Compared to the human race, Yas City needs me more, and the soldiers here also need me more."

"Moreover, it was City Lord Elina who gave a place for a down-and-out general like me to stay. Not only did she not doubt me because of my outsider identity, but she swept away all the pressure and handed one of the four major legions of Yas City directly to me. I must repay this kindness."

Bethhild's eyes were lowered and her voice was soft, but her tone was very firm.

"Are you really unwilling to go back? Can you bear to leave your hometown and your old friends in the Elek Empire?"

Philip was still making a last-ditch effort, trying to win back Bethhild by using favors.

If there was anyone who was the most dazzling in the war outside the domain, it would not be his daughter Victoria, who killed the prince outside the domain and assisted Elena in handling government affairs in Yas City.

Nor was she the beloved disciple of Elina, Leah, who had killed two princes with one sword.

But the general in front of him.

It can be said that in this war, Bethhildr brought his understanding of war to the fullest extent. Whether it was a large-scale battle or a small-scale raid, he could command it with ease.

On the battlefield, the name Bethhild became Eternal Night's most troublesome existence.

Such a famous general is even more valuable than an ordinary temple-level warrior.

After all, war, in the final analysis, is a matter between armies.

Once a top-level strongman intervenes, the opponent will immediately send out strongmen of the same level to fight back. At this time, the role of a famous general will be reflected.

This is also the reason why Philip did not hesitate to put aside his pride and come in person to take Bethhild back.

He originally thought that his face and the incredibly generous conditions would be able to impress Bethhild, but he did not expect that this guy was not moved at all.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a saying? Wherever my heart is, that is my homeland."

Bethhild looked into Philip's eyes and said this very seriously.

Having said this, Philip knew that there was no need for him to continue. If he continued, he would only lose face in vain.

"I originally transferred you away from the core of the army just to let you avoid the limelight for a while, but I didn't expect that the Elek Empire would lose you, a star general, forever."

"Bethhild, since you don't want to go back, then stay here and take care of yourself. Goodbye."

At the end, Philip's face clearly had a hint of anger. After all, he had already said so much, but this guy still refused to listen.

This made his Majesty the Emperor feel ashamed.

In just a moment, Philip disappeared directly into the reception room.

This time, the losses of his Aleike Empire were indeed not small.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

When Philip left, Bethhild bowed respectfully to see him off.

He stood up slowly after knowing that Phillip had been gone for a few minutes.

He walked out of the living room with a smile, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and suddenly felt refreshed in his heart.

He knew that from today on, he truly and completely belonged to the city of Yas, to this newly born country outside the domain.

······

"See, Lamia? Philip walked into the conference hall with a stinky face. It seems that he was humiliated by Bethhild."

Elina stood beside Lamia, pointed at Philip who had just walked in with a cocky look on his face, and laughed.

Because of the victory in the extraterritorial war, all races involved in this war must take away their own interests, so a post-war meeting is definitely inevitable.

This time, the human race, the elves and Dragon Island all sent their own delegations. Even the orcs, who contributed the least, sent a delegation of more than ten people.

This time, Philip represents the entire human race.

In fact, Elina knew about this guy when he disappeared to Bethhild's place in the morning.

But she didn't stop it.

"You're still laughing. This guy is trying to steal your girl, but you're laughing so happily."

Lamia was speechless about Elina's thick-skinnedness.

Even she had heard of Bethhild's name during this battle. This guy would definitely become a famous general in Gushuo in the future.

And they came to poach people blatantly, but Elina not only did not try to stop them, but stood aside and watched the show. Lamia didn't know what to say.

"Haha, I know my subordinates. You can tell from his current state that Bethhild has definitely not agreed to his request. Let's go and say hello to him."

As she said this, Elina smiled wickedly and walked towards Philip with Lamia.

"Hey, isn't this His Majesty the Emperor? So, judging from your expression, you seem to be unhappy about something. Is it possible that the breakfast in Yas City is not to your liking?"

When Philip was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard a strange voice.

Hearing this voice, he flew into a rage.

Damn it! I’ve been in Yas City for only a few hours and I’ve been angry twice in a row. Do they really think that a demigod like him is made of clay?

Thinking about it, Phillip stood up and looked for the source of the sound. The next second, he saw Alina standing behind him.

For a moment, Philip wilted.

Lamia, who was standing by, could only force herself to hold back her laughter after hearing Elina's strange voice.

This guy, nowadays, is really good at implying something.

Chapter 109: Alina's Warning

"Elena, what do you want from me?"

Philip's original rage disappeared completely the moment he saw Elena.

He subconsciously wanted to slip away.

Over the years, since he first dealt with Alina, he had never gotten any good results at the hands of this girl.

Every confrontation with Elina would end with him losing face.

To be honest, after so many times, he has some psychological trauma.

Anyone who is beaten up by the same guy several times will have psychological trauma.

What's more, Philip just poached Elena's girl.

Suddenly facing the real owner at this moment, I felt a little guilty.

"Where did you go this morning? Why didn't I see you?"

Elina looked at him with a smile, which made Philip feel a little nervous.

This guy, could it be that he knew that I went to Bethhild's place this morning to steal her girl?

Philip muttered in his heart, then said with a smile:

"Haha, I went to your Yas City this morning and took a look around. It's pretty good. The development of your city is catching up with the Tara Royal City. I think it will definitely become the central city of the entire outer region in a few years, haha."

Philip laughed dryly twice and tried to skip over the topic.

"Well, I think I saw someone I know just now, so I have to excuse myself for the moment."

Philip found an excuse and wanted to slip away. He felt that if he continued to stay here, something bad would happen.

"You tried to steal my girl, but were rejected by Bethhild? Haha, you look upset."

Unfortunately, just when Philip was about to slip away, Elena laughed and revealed his true colors.

The people around who heard this couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Philip in surprise.

They had never imagined that a demigod-level powerful being, the emperor of the human race, could actually do such a thing.

For a moment, Philip's expression could be said to be quite wonderful.

I was so angry inside.

He never expected that Elena knew his whereabouts so clearly.

"Hey, Philip, what's going on? It's not fair for you to come to someone else's territory and poach people."

"Yes, you did something wrong."

"Haha, the key is that I was caught by others. That's fine, but I was rejected. No, Philip."

Suddenly, people around burst into laughter.

There was a cheerful atmosphere inside and outside the hall.

Those who can come here are all the top of each race. The lowest one is a temple-level powerhouse, and demigods can be seen everywhere, but no one will give face to Philip.

Not to mention that Philip was usually domineering and had made many enemies.

Those who have had grudges against him would be very happy to take advantage of him at this time.

Even those who didn't speak looked at Philip with a pained look on their faces.

Just like what someone said just now, if you want to poach someone else, then go ahead and poach them, but you got caught by the owner.

Not only was he caught, he was also rejected.

What the fuck is this?

"you!"

Philip turned around angrily, but what he saw was Elena's even colder face.

"Philip, please remember that this is Yas City, not your Royal City of Tara, and Bethhild is now one of the top military leaders in Yas City. Do you think it is appropriate for you to meet my legion commander without my consent?"

Elina's voice was cold. She knew that this extraterritorial war had made many generals of Yas City famous throughout the continent.

Not to mention the four legion commanders, even the middle-level generals under them, many of them have made outstanding military achievements.

If Philip's poaching behavior is not stopped, and one person comes to poach today and one person comes to poach tomorrow, then her army in Yas City will have no good days in the future.
