Hearing Wesley's words, Ye Li smiled and nodded. This way of addressing was more casual, and everyone could feel more at ease with each other.
Afterwards, Wesley took Ye Li for a walk around the forest. The environment here was not only very quiet but also very spacious. There was an area that looked similar to a training ground. According to Wesley, this was where a group of special forces members usually trained and sparred.
Inside the cabin was everyone's residence. Ye Li chose an empty room and moved in.
The design of this wooden house is very good. It is not only ventilated and bright, but also has hidden observation holes that allow you to observe the surrounding conditions in secret.
After seeing this hidden window, Ye Li immediately understood that the gaze he just felt was obviously from Wesley who was observing them secretly.
I think Wesley sensed some movement in the woods, so he alertly checked secretly. After seeing Baron Mars, he finally felt relieved.
After taking Ye Li for a walk, Wesley said, "Ye Li, you just came to our Yaxi family. I wonder if you know anything about our situation?"
Ye Li was stunned, shook his head and said: "I went to York Village to seek refuge with Uncle Ross not long ago. I don't know much about the situation in the Farant Empire. It was Uncle Ross who introduced some to me.
However, Uncle Ross doesn’t know much about the situation of your Golden Palm City Yaxi family, so he can only give a brief introduction to your basic situation.”
After hearing Ye Li's answer, Wesley nodded and said, "You come from somewhere else, so it's normal that you don't know our situation. The territory of our Yaxi family is Golden Palm City and the surrounding areas.
We are already on the edge of the Farant Empire. About two hundred miles west of the Golden Palm City is the territory of the Caster Empire.
In the past, our two countries have always been in hostile relations and have invaded each other's territories. It is only in recent years that we have been able to maintain peace.
Our two countries have agreed to leave a blank area of 100 miles at the border to completely separate the two countries and no longer have disputes over territorial ownership.
So about fifty miles west of our Golden Palm City is the edge of our Yaxi family's territory. Going further ahead is a no-man's land.
Although it is called a no-man's land, in reality there is no force that dares to go in and occupy the territory, otherwise it would be tantamount to snatching food from our two families.
Not long ago, a hidden snowflake mineral vein was accidentally discovered in this area. Although it is not large in scale, it is still of great benefit to our family.
Therefore, our Yaxi family wants to quietly occupy this area. Of course, we will not occupy it in the name of the Yaxi family, but use the names of other forces.
The family across from us, near the territory of the Custer Empire, is called the Hockett Family. They are about the same strength as us and also received the news and began to covet this mineral vein.
Just like us, they used the names of other forces to try to occupy the mining area.
Our two families then began a secret war over that area, and everyone wanted to take the mineral vein for themselves.
Because we couldn't send out normal soldiers, both of our families hired a group of mercenaries to be stationed there, and our special forces secretly helped our mercenaries, attacked the other side in secret, and tried to defeat the other side's mercenaries.
Neither of our two families dared to make a public announcement about this incident. After all, our two empires have stopped fighting. If a war breaks out again because of our two families' dispute over a mining area, we will become sinners of our respective empires. Being deprived of our noble status is a small matter. We may also be used as scapegoats by angry high-ranking officials and sent to the other side to seek reconciliation."
After hearing his words, Ye Li finally understood that actually the Yaxi family and a family on the opposite side wanted to eat some wild food without telling their empire.
Now both sides have their eyes on the same piece of fat meat, but they dare not attract the attention of their own empires, so they can only fight for it quietly in secret.
After Wesley explained the situation on this side, he continued, "In addition, we also have some conflicts with the Sikh family in the east. However, we all belong to the same empire after all, so we dare not blatantly send troops to fight. However, small-scale conflicts often occur."
Wesley's words surprised Ye Li a little. It sounded like the Yaxi family had a lot of troubles. They seemed to have conflicts with many forces.
And what the other party told him was equivalent to telling Ye Li the current situation of the Yaxi family. This is not a peaceful place. On the contrary, it is a very unpeaceful place.
Since wars often break out here, it means that the special forces have a heavy task. They may go into battle at any time and may encounter danger at any time.
After Ye Li understood, he said, "Wesley, I understand what you mean. The mission of our special forces team must be heavy. I have been mentally prepared for this."
When Wesley heard Ye Li's answer, he immediately smiled and nodded, showing a satisfied look.
"Okay, Ye Li, you can rest here for one night. I will introduce you to everyone after they come back tomorrow.
You have reached the middle stage of gestation at such a young age, and you must be extremely talented. As long as you are loyal enough to the Yaxi family in the future, I believe my uncle will definitely train you vigorously.
Don't think that he is just a baron and his territory is as small as Golden Palm City. In fact, he is not the only noble in my Yaxi family.
Our Yaxi family is actually the third largest family in the Farant Empire, and my uncle is only the one with the lowest title and power.
If you perform well enough, uncle can recommend you to other members of our Yaxi family. When you reach a higher level, you will be able to develop in a place with better conditions. This is a benefit that many people can't even hope for."
After hearing what Wesley said, Ye Li finally understood that the so-called Yaxi family did not just own the Golden Palm City.
Golden Palm City is just the fief of Baron Mars. The Yaxi family may have other relatives such as earls and marquis. Their fiefs are naturally in other places, and may be larger in scale and stronger in strength.
However, this situation is not that tempting for Ye Li. He does not intend to spend the rest of his life in the Continent of Miracles. What he needs to do is to find out how to go back.
Joining these families is just to take advantage of their power, so that you can get access to more confidential information more easily and find the way back sooner.
