In the early hours of the morning, Peter's Grand Canyon was dense and wet, and the dark clouds on the top of the mountain blocked the sun's rays, making the entire entrance to the canyon appear extremely dark.

The soldiers began to clean up the mess of last night, one by one.

It seems that a heavy rain today is indispensable.

Jack woke up early, as Zari hadn't eaten in days and was a little distracted. Jack fears that the little Rem will die at his own hands, but he can't find anything to feed him. He had tried meat, rice, and everything else that humans could eat, but little Zari wasn't interested in the "delicious" at all.

Jack held the frail Zari sadly, looking at its pitiful appearance, and even had the idea that he was going to the desolate land now. However, this is unrealistic, and no one in the entire Missilean country dares to say that with the strength of this country, it can compete with Lina, because it is almost equivalent to sending her to death.

After breakfast, the soldiers entered the state of "battle", one by one lost the relaxation of the previous night, put on their armor, and lined up with a serious expression, waiting for Cologne to give orders. Perhaps in their eyes, facing the orc forces is like fighting the enemy. Anyway, Jack didn't know what was in the canyon and what was going to happen.

Thousands of troops were lined up in unison under the black oppressive clouds, and Coren stood in front of the formation, encouraging the soldiers.

Jack was in no mood to listen at this time, and now he seemed to have only one thought in his head, and that was to find food for Zary.

The large force began to march towards the entrance to the canyon.

Jack noticed that the entrance had been remodeled, and from a distance, it looked less like a canyon than a city entrance. From the entrance, you will see a wall about 200 meters high that plunges into the sky, and the wall is made of carefully cut stones, and when you look inside, you can not even see any gaps in the connection between the stones, as if this wall overgrown with vines and moss was originally a masterpiece of nature.

When I entered, I realized that this wall was made in imitation of the city wall, and behind the arched "city gate" that was as high as two days, there was a ladder with a height comparable to that of the wall, and the soldiers who had been stationed in the canyon all year round were standing on the ladder layer by layer. It turned out that the gate at the entrance to the canyon was opened by them.

These soldiers have not left the canyon for half a step since the Orc Clan troops were hidden here, and some soldiers are still waiting here even when they are almost buried in the earth. When they entered the door, these isolated soldiers shouted from afar. It's been a long time since they've seen anyone from the outside world!

When all the troops had passed through the gate, the officers and soldiers stationed behind them immediately closed the huge iron gate.

The clouds were getting heavier and heavier, as if the next moment a downpour would fall from the sky.

Jack felt the dullness in his chest and was a little out of breath.

"Heaven is not beautiful, it would be nice if there were no clouds today!" Tex, who was beside him, muttered about the terrible weather as he poked the earth with his sword.

Inside the "city gate", after the soldiers stationed there closed the gate, they immediately ran excitedly in front of Cologne and fell headlong, "Your Majesty! You are finally here! We have been waiting for more than ten years, and we finally see you coming!" These dozen or so old and weak soldiers all lay at Cologne's feet without regard for their image.

Jack noticed that the clothes on the clothes of these soldiers were in tatters, and their hair had become messy because they had not been trimmed and washed for many years.

"Get up quickly!" Coren saw the soldiers bow down in front of him, and quickly knelt down together, and helped them to their feet one by one.

The soldiers finally couldn't help it, and as Coren fell to their knees, tears welled up in their eyes, and they poured out their decades of hard work and loneliness.

"Brothers, what about the others?" Coren suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot fewer people, and he remembered that there were forty or fifty soldiers sent here more than twenty years ago, and now there were only a dozen remnants of the defeated soldiers.

As soon as the soldiers heard Cologne's inquiry, they lowered their heads and did not speak.

"What's wrong? What about the others? Who told me!?" Coren had a premonition that something bad was coming, but no matter how much he asked, the soldiers just wouldn't say anything.

The topography of Peter's Grand Canyon can be summarized as a long and narrow "snake road" from south to north, which twists and turns and stretches for more than ten miles. There are countless forks and natural caves in the canyon, as well as deep mountains and old forests, but there is only one exit for such a large canyon, which is the artificial gate that Jack and the others have just passed.

The high mountains on both sides of the canyon rise from the flat ground to the gate of heaven, and are so steep that even birds cannot cross them, let alone someone who wants to take a long detour to climb the mountain.

"Your Majesty......" While Coren was anxiously awaiting an answer, one of the defenders, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

Coren was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "You want to tell me?"

The old soldier stepped forward, looked at Coren with a sad expression, reached out and touched the old tears on his face, and told the truth from the mouth under his wrinkled face: "Everyone else, all dead......"

Coren was startled at first, then excitedly grabbed the veteran's thin arm and asked, "What!?How is it possible!?Don't you have a walled security zone!?"

It turned out that more than 20 years ago, in order to protect the secrets in the canyon, Coren sent 10,000 troops here to build this city wall, and blocked the other exits of the entire canyon. In peacetime, the soldiers built safe dwellings from the top of the city wall, and went inside and down the walls to supply their daily necessities. The safe zone at the top of the wall can be used as both a sentry and a habitable height, a height that is difficult for even the most advanced siege towers to reach.

The veteran shook his head and told the truth of the matter: "Your Majesty, since you arranged for us to be stationed here, we have never violated the rules by opening the door without permission, nor have we ever traveled at night. Even yesterday, seeing you back with troops on the city walls, we held back our excitement and did not open the gates until now. Can...... Ten years ago......"

"Ten years ago, what happened ten years ago?!" asked Coren anxiously.

"One day ten years ago, from the eastern sky, a large group of unknown monsters suddenly flew over, spewing flames from their mouths, attacking our defenders, we resisted desperately for more than a month, but in the end it was because the monsters were too powerful, and our equipment could not keep up and failed! The remaining dozen or so of us were all escaped from death!"

After hearing this, Coren patted the old soldier's shoulder very sadly and helplessly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. But why didn't you send someone to report to me? What about sending rescuers?"

The veteran's cries became louder and louder: "This is all Your Majesty ordered more than 20 years ago that without permission, ......we must not leave the area around Peter's Grand Canyon for a single step!

When Jack saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head: Even if human lives are at stake, they will strictly abide by the lives of the army, is this good or bad!
