Volume 1: The Vanishing Land, Chapter 44
The Losal Grand Canyon is the natural dividing line between the border between Brett and Red, and it is also the longest canyon on the Tremia continent, adjacent to Retett's granary Ricky Menn, which has always been the place where Brett sent heavy troops, because during the Battle of Richmond, the two continents could not effectively exchange information, so after that, Brett built a transparent bridge over the canyon, only the Brett military department and some royal families and church members knew how to pass this transparent bridge, one was to prevent Blatter from attacking Ricky Menn through the Losar Gorge, and the other was to grasp the initiative of information exchange between the two continents, the God of War Legion's raid on Red is directly entering Red from the Transparent Bridge.
Red actually had a defense on the south side of the canyon, but it was close to the hinterland of the Hevis Hills, where there was the Sanctuary of the Fourth Army of Blat, so they sent the defenders more to the Pederchil-Galki Line from the entrance to the Hivis Hills, which was the access to the Dazerlir Desert and the only way to enter Red on the eastern front.
Taylor and his team came to the Salol Canyon station first, and after a brief handover, their team began to patrol the area around the station, because this is the border, and through the canyon you can see Red and the vast Sivis Hills, which can't help but remind Taylor of the past when he went deep into the Emerald Temple alone a year ago, and he still has no real feeling, and always feels that Red's experience is like a dream, especially unreal.
"Taylor Centurion, there is an army that wants to enter the garrison. Just as Taylor looked across and sighed, his soldiers hurried to ask for instructions.
"The army, where is the army?" Taylor was curious, he had never heard of any other legions stationed here besides the military headquarters border garrison. The soldiers led Taylor to a small farm not far east of the station, where Taylor saw dozens of wounded Brett soldiers lying in the humble grass huts, two of whom were unconscious and appeared to be badly wounded.
"What legion are you?" Taylor asked, and began to observe their injuries.
"At Lower Jafen, we are... It is a unit of the Ares Legion. The soldier who called himself Jayphin took out a badge from his arms, Taylor took it and looked at it, it was indeed the Ares Legion, but weren't they the legions stationed on the ridge of Recarryven?
"I'm sorry, but there is no alliance agreement between the Royal Legion and the Military Legion, so I can't let you go without instructions from above. Taylor said. Although it sounds ruthless, it is true, except for the sacrificial church, the military department and the royal legion have always fought separately, even in the same trench, they will not care about the death of the other party, which is also what makes Taylor very sad, the struggle for power has always been life and death.
"Wait a minute, sir, it doesn't matter if we go or not, just take these two people to the station, they are in dire need of treatment. As Taylor handed the badge back to Jayphin and was about to leave, he suddenly fell to his knees and begged.
Taylor walked up to the two men and saw that one of them had been shot through by something, especially his limbs were already bloody and fleshy, but it seemed that someone had stopped the bleeding for him, which saved his life, and the other was also covered in blood, unable to see clearly, with the same wound in the chest, Taylor could not imagine what kind of enemy they had encountered.
"You were attacked by Blatter?" Taylor asked, he could only think of Blatter as having such power, but Jayphen shook his head.
"Sir, it's even more terrifying than Blatter. Jephine trembled like a frightened bird, remembering the scene and still terrified.
"In this case, I can take them to the garrison to heal first, and then I will send soldiers to this farm to protect you, but when they are well-wounded, you still have to leave on your own. Taylor said.
"Centurion Taylor, this is not good. The soldier who brought him here reminded him that if anything went wrong, the royal family would surely blame them.
"It's okay, I'll be responsible if something goes wrong, you go to the station to find two stretchers and take the two of them back for treatment." Taylor said, then took out the orb and began to release the Holy Light Aria to restore the group.
"You're a priest!" Javen shouted in surprise as he looked at the four-colored aura surrounding Taylor.
"Recuperate. After finishing the chanting, Taylor patted him on the shoulder and led everyone out of the farm, now this large-scale healing skill Taylor can easily use it, and no longer has to rely on Qi Condensation Beads as before, this year while strengthening his body, he has never left behind the cultivation of his own breath, and now he can use level 7 breath skills, and even use level 8 skills in some cases, I have to say that the benefits brought to him after the breath awakening are immeasurable.
"Centurion Taylor, why do you want to help them?" asked the soldier cautiously on the way back.
"Why, hey, it's all Brett people, the struggle for political power, shouldn't be borne by us ordinary people, if even we start to resent each other, then is there any hope for this country?" Taylor sighed, looking at the soldier as if he didn't understand, Taylor smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
When Taylor and his party returned to the station, Captain Lunsar also arrived with the follow-up troops, watching him carry two people back, thinking that the team had encountered some surprise attack, and hurriedly came to visit, only to find that the stretcher was wearing a royal uniform.
"Taylor, this isโ" Lensa asked, surprised.
"There was a royal legion unit on the farm in front of them, and it seemed that they had been attacked, and these two men were so badly wounded that I took the initiative to bring them back for treatment, and the group had them stationed on the farm temporarily, and I sent a few men to protect them. Taylor reported the situation to Rensa.
Hearing Taylor say this, Lensa did not reproach or express his position, but looked at the wounded man on the stretcher, his whole body was pierced, and it was extremely terrifying.
"Blatter did that?" asked Lensa, somewhat uncertain.
"I don't think it's like it, although I thought it was Blatter's work at first, but I looked closely at the wounds, and there was no residual breath of Blatter on them, not even normal breath, more like a weapon wound. Taylor analyzed, the sacrificial perception of breath is extremely strong, especially after the breath awakens, because of the ritual, they have more perception of breath than ordinary people, he can feel the red breath on these two people, but he can't feel the existence of other breaths, if he is injured by the breath skill, the wound will inevitably leave breath fragments.
"Weapons, what weapons are so powerful?" Lensar had the impression that neither Blatter nor Red relied on weapons, most of them still used breath and force as their main means of attack, and they also had weapons, but most of them were swords and staffs and the like, like this powerful weapon, and the range of attacks was so precise, he had never seen it. Instead, Taylor seemed to remember the remains of the giants he had seen in the depths of Red's realm, in the forgotten land of the Titan Soldiers, could it be them?, but quickly dismissed this idea, if these were the Titan Soldiers, then who could control them?
"This isโ" Lensa turned to look at the other man, ready to observe his injuries, but suddenly stopped, because he recognized the man, and cried out, "This is Prince Phoches!"
Folches! Taylor hurriedly turned around to confirm that it was true that his body shape and appearance were somewhat similar to Folches, but after so long, he only had a few words of conversation with Forkess, and he did not recognize him immediately.
"Taylor, you take care of the two of them personally, and this matter must be kept secret from everyone, I have to go to the military department to ask for instructions, this matter is a little tricky. Lensa's face was gloomy, and he pulled Taylor aside and whispered, he never expected to be associated with a member of the royal family. It's easy to say if it's an ordinary soldier of the royal legion, but when it comes to royalty and nobles, the nature changes.
Am I in trouble? Taylor looked at the unconscious Fogches with a bad feeling in his heart. It's been more than a year since I parted with him, when I went to Red together, I was arrested by the Red Sacrifice Church together, and I talked impassionedly in front of Bishop Red together, all of this is still vivid, especially the question he asked Folches in the residence, I still remember it vividly, although I didn't get along with Folches for a long time, but Taylor could feel that he was different from those royals who thought highly of themselves and were unbearable, and he had the same sense of mission as himself.
"Where am I?" the dim light in the tent made people drowsy in the middle of the night, and Phoches felt like he had someone around him.
"You're in the tent of the garrison on the border of the Losal Gorge. Taylor said.
"You'reโ" Folches felt the voice familiar, and wanted to get up to see who it was, but he felt an unbearable pain in his chest, and he even felt pain in his breath.
"Lie down, your injuries are still very serious, fortunately you have the holy weapon armor and body, so you only suffered this little injury, fortunately it is not fatal, but the person with you is not so lucky. Folches turned his head with difficulty, and saw a man with his back to him, and when he turned around, Folches couldn't believe his eyes.
"Taylor!" Phoches cried out in surprise, and began to cough heavily, tearing the wound on his chest with each cough, causing his expression to become distorted.
"You still know me, then it's okay, take a good rest, the breath in your body is disordered, if you don't obey again, then I won't be able to save your life." Taylor said as he poured a bottle of liquid into his mouth, and Fordston felt bitter on his tongue, and after seeing him drink it, Taylor began to release a blue breath to heal Phoches.
Forches felt the breath in his body, and indeed as Taylor said, the manic red aura was about to get out of control, so he had to calm down temporarily, and follow Taylor's hand to get the aura guide and dredge the breath meridians.
"Why are you here?" asked Forches, still curious.
"I'm a soldier, garrison on the border, where am I not here?" Taylor said with a blank face.
"But aren't you a priest?" Forge was even more curious.
"Can't the priests join the army?" Taylor said speechlessly.
"I thought you died in Red. Forches said suddenly, this sentence made Taylor stunned, and looked at Forches with a helpless expression because of the pain.
"It's just a fluke to survive, unlike you, the prince of the royal family, there are so many people who would rather sacrifice themselves for you. Taylor said as he regained his composure.
"Ahem, are you laughing at me?" said Foxes, agitated, coughing louder.
"Ridicule? Taylor motioned for him to remain calm.
"Also, you won't know that I was secretly imprisoned by Queen Samon for a whole year. Folches smiled wryly.
"You've been in captivity for a year?" Taylor was stunned.
"Do something for me. Suddenly remembering something, Phoches grabbed Taylor's hand, and his whole body trembled and pleaded with Taylor.
"What's the matter?"
"Kill this man, and kill me!" Taylor's eyes widened as he looked at Folches and the man beside him, unable to believe that Foulches would say such a thing.
