Chapter 87: Historical Truth
As Sino slowly narrates, the inside story of the battle is gradually revealed.
The armies of man and beast fought a bitter battle over control of the Canyon of Sighs.
On the Terran side, the Wind and Snow Legion is the vanguard of the battle, and the Frost Thunder Legion is responsible for the backup, ready to enter the battlefield at any time to deliver a fatal blow to the orcs.
At that time, Keynes was in his prime, and he was the youngest and most dazzling general in the Blizzard Army. Keynes took the initiative to ask Prince Hobbes for orders, asking him to lead his division to break into the Canyon of Sighs, and then hold the mouth of the valley, so as to occupy the canyon one step ahead of the orcs.
Keynes's plan was that as long as he could hold the mouth of the valley, he would be able to arrange for the warriors to simultaneously mine the metacrystals in the canyon. There are a large number of middle- and lower-level officers in the legion who have been stuck in the battle school and the lieutenant pass for many years because of their low qualifications, and if these people can use the Yuan Jing concentration to break through the level, the high-level combat power of the Wind and Snow Legion will be greatly improved, and they will immediately have an advantage in the war against the orcs.
Keynes could imagine that among the orcs, there was also no shortage of outstanding generals with both force and intelligence. After Keynes led his troops into the Canyon of Sighs, the orc troops rushed in before he could establish a defensive line, and the two sides fought a battle at the mouth of the valley, and then fought from the mouth of the valley to the depths of the canyon.
The Blizzard Legion and the Orc forces fought a major battle outside the Canyon of Sighs over control of Taniguchi.
But no one expected that when the two sides were inseparable, the Church of Light suddenly appeared.
When the Terran army thought that the Church of Light also wanted a piece of the pie from the Canyon of Sighs, the Church directly declared the Canyon of Sighs the birthplace of demons, and did not allow anyone to enter the Canyon of Sighs again.
Not only were they not allowed to enter, but the warriors who had already entered the Canyon of Sighs were not allowed to come out. And directly began to arrange the "Great Light Seal" at the mouth of the valley, and all the warriors of the people and beasts who entered the canyon were sealed in it.
"Why would the church do this?" Arthur was puzzled.
"The church's openly declared justification is that warriors who enter the canyon will bring out the demon seeds. But no one believed them, and people speculated that the Church of Light might not want Yuanjing to be brought out. ”
"I didn't understand one thing, the armies of the human and beast races are fighting for the mouth of the valley, and the Wind and Snow Legion will stop attacking, but will the orcs let the Church of Light seal the Sigh Canyon?"
"Contrary to what you think, it was the orcs who stopped the attack first, but the Blizzard Legion did not hesitate to turn against the church and desperately prevent them from sealing the canyon. ”
"Huh?" Arthur was even more puzzled.
"Because the Orc Temple and the Church of Light have reached an agreement in private, and they have also agreed to seal the canyon, but it is the Church of Light who comes forward to seal it. Unlike the Terrans, where there was a battle between divine power and kingship, the Templars had absolute authority among the orcs, so the orcs immediately stopped the attack and abandoned the orc forces that had entered the canyon. But Prince Hobbes categorically disagreed with the abandonment of the warriors in the gorge. ”
"What is an orc temple?"
"As you will know later, these beings are too far away from you now. The two armies fought again to rescue the warriors in the canyon, but this time the purpose of the war changed, and the orc army desperately tried to prevent the Blizzard Legion from approaching the canyon under the orders of the Temple. ”
Arthur didn't expect the inside story of this war to be so tortuous, nor did he expect Prince Hobbes to be so bloody back then, and he didn't hesitate to go to war with the Church of Light to rescue his own soldiers.
"And then?"
Shino smiled bitterly, "Of course Hobbs didn't succeed, the strength of the orc army on the other side is slightly stronger than the Wind and Snow Legion, and the Wind and Snow Army can't repel the orcs approaching Taniguchi at all." So Hobbes asked the Archduke Palmer for help, asking the Frost Thunder Legion to cooperate with the Wind and Snow Legion to attack the orcs, but the Archduke Palmer finally chose not to move. ”
"I see, no wonder Keno and Golie don't have a good impression of the Frost Thunder Legion?
"No, Stredge's reign was not long in the past, and his control over the kingdom and the various legions was far from comparable to today's, and he didn't say anything about the Church of Light's seal Sigh Canyon. Therefore, I guess the Grand Duke was forced by the pressure of the Church of Light to stand still, and of course there are rumors that the Church and the Grand Duke have reached a secret agreement. ”
Whatever the real reason is, the result in front of the world is that while the Frost Thunder Legion is desperately fighting with the orcs, the Frost Thunder Legion chooses to stand idly by, so after the war, many people ridicule the Frost Thunder Legion as cowards and soft eggs.
"And how did they come out of Keynes, Chief?" was Arthur's main concern.
"Keynes is not a real man and a regimental commander, almost at the moment when the Great Light Seal sealed the Sighing Canyon, a giant sword stretched out from the canyon, and forcibly tore a hole more than one person wide in the seal, making his soldiers rush out of the canyon one by one, and he was the last to come out of the seal. He was very badly wounded in that battle, but after his injuries healed, he left the Blizzard Legion. ”
Arthur seemed to see the scene when one person and one sword tore the seal, and almost subconsciously took out the Starfall Sword from the bracelet.
Sino took the Starfall Sword from Arthur's hand and rubbed it carefully, "This is the sword that Keynes used to be, right? The sword is spiritual, treat it well, the sword that can tear through the seal of light is by no means ordinary!"
Arthur suddenly realized a question, and hurriedly asked, "Just now you said that the Canyon of Sighs has been completely sealed by the church, so how do we get in?"
"I've personally checked the situation of the seal since I arrived at the Frost Thunder Legion, and I don't know why the seal is unstable, I have a way to open a small hole in the seal, and there is enough time to put a few people in. ”
Arthur suddenly put down the wine glass and said, "Thank you for telling me so much, now let's officially talk about the deal, what do you want for us to let us into the canyon of sighs?"
Shino smiled, "You must have guessed that you are so smart, I want Yuanjing." You enter the Canyon of Sighs this time, and all the gains except for Yuanjing will belong to you, but Yuanjing I want half. ”
Arthur also smiled slightly, "It's reasonable, deal." ”
The palms of the two hands were gently held together.
"And one last question, purely out of personal curiosity, as the general guarding the Canyon of Sighs, why did you take such a big risk to get Yuanjing. ”
Sino pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although I have now recovered to the tenth-level general, I still don't dare to run my fighting spirit with all my strength, I can only barely protect myself in the face of the same level of generals and orc heroes, and the pure and abundant energy in the Yuan Jing can warm the meridians and heal the dark wounds." ”
"You haven't seen Yuanjing, who did you listen to?" Arthur was a little unconvinced.
"I guess. You can't imagine the severity of Keynes's injuries in that battle back then, everyone including Prince Hobbes thought he couldn't survive, but he not only survived but also kept the meridians, do you really think it was a miracle? And Keno, he is the youngest eleventh level general in the entire human race, do you really think that he is talented and completely cultivates on his own?"
"You mean Yuanjing?"
Shino didn't speak again.
At the same time, a huge cavalry team with silver armor and golden cloaks was rushing towards the Frost Thunder Legion's station.
Twelve years later, the Church of Light has reappeared, will history repeat itself?
