The farce of the Palmer family ended with the beheading of Siro.

Although Aemond was not involved in the end, killing Ciro was like cutting off one of his arms.

Besides, the Grand Duke of Palmer had a clear mirror in his heart, and Ciro was messing with Aemond all day long, so how could there be no shadow of Aemond behind this matter? Especially since Aemond was weak and did not dare to intercede with Ciro at the last moment.

Although he couldn't bear to behead the Grand Duke of Ciro, he could still do it, but if he really wanted to involve Aemond, how could he be ruthless? But after this incident, Aemond's position in the heart of the Grand Duke has plummeted since then. Although the position of deputy corps commander was not taken away from him for the time being, he had no other military power in his hands except for a 5,000-strong elite division under his direct control before.

The one who benefited the most from this turmoil was naturally Shino Howells, in addition to the army that he had already held in his hands before, he also completely took the legion's military logistics over. At the same time, the generals in the army reacquainted themselves with the son-in-law of the Grand Duke, a scholar who looked weak on the surface, and let the Grand Duke personally behead his nephew with a little trick.

Some generals already secretly have a rod scale in their hearts, and the Grand Duke supports Sino so much, and the position of the next commander of the Frost Thunder Legion may really be this weak scholar.

Is Shino really weak?

At this time, in Arthur's tent, Sino was telling Arthur about the past.

Two pots of wine, two dishes of side dishes, two men with an age gap of more than 20 years sit opposite each other on the ground, the story is wine, drinking and chatting.

"Since you have already broken through the Battle General Heaven Pass, why are you still pretending that you have not cultivated Dou Qi at all in front of others, especially when you were in the old church, a dignified warrior could tolerate those punishment knights tying you up. Arthur finally had a chance to ask a question that had been held in his mind for a long time.

Shino lowered his head and took a sip of wine, looking up at Arthur, "Who told you I was a general?"

Arthur smiled, "I guessed right, the momentum of a warrior can't be hidden, and if you're not a general, Grand Duke Palmer will put you in charge of an army?"

Shino sighed lightly, "You should have heard about what I did back then, many people thought that I had abolished the eighth-level martial artist cultivation, but in fact, I had just crossed the Battle General Heavenly Pass at that time. As soon as I broke through the level, I experienced a series of hard battles, especially a palm from the Grand Duke, which almost cost me half my life, and the fighting energy in my body was on the verge of getting out of control at that time, and it was a last resort to destroy the meridians. ”

Arthur sighed with a little disappointment, "I thought you were really for love?"

"Only by living first can we have the right to love and to be loved. Shino said meaningfully.

Sino took another sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "It's not easy to rebuild the destroyed meridians, the vast majority of martial artists have lost their lives, and I only re-embarked on the path of martial artists by chance, but you can't understand the difficulties at all." If I could have disposed of those church lackeys in the church, how could I have allowed them to get close?"

"So you haven't recovered your meridians in the church back then?"

"No, once a martial artist makes a move, he may have to stimulate the Dou Qi with all his might, and the rebuilt meridians simply can't withstand such a violent Dou Qi. Unless life and death are at stake, I will have to pay a price for making a move at that time, and the meridians may be abolished again, or I will die. ”

Arthur was suddenly stunned, and he suddenly thought of Captain Keynes. Keynes's situation must have been similar to that of Sino, deliberately suppressing his fighting spirit under the generals, and he was trying to save the brothers of the entire mercenary group, so he did not hesitate to explode his fighting spirit at the cost of his own life.

Sino also noticed Arthur's strangeness, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, but I suddenly remembered my regimental leader, his situation is a bit similar to yours?" Arthur deliberately lowered his head to drink, trying to hide his slightly moist eyes.

Shino smiled slightly, deliberately pretending not to see it, everyone has their own story in their hearts.

Sino said lightly: "Did you say Keynes? His injuries back then were indeed quite serious, and he could be regarded as alive and dead." ”

"Do you know Captain Keynes?" Arthur looked up suddenly.

Shino shook his head, "I've just heard something about him, which is why I said yes to the mention of Sigh Canyon." ”

Arthur nodded, "I wonder what happened to Commander Keynes and his division in the Canyon of Sighs? ”

"If you want to know about the battle in Canyon of Sighs, I can talk to you briefly. ”

"Really, how did you know about that battle?" Arthur's eyes immediately showed surprise, he didn't expect to get the news of that battle from Shino, who had nothing to do with the Snow Legion.

"I know it's because the Frost Thunder Legion played a very dishonorable third party role in that battle. You've met with Keno, has Keno told you why he's unhappy with the Frost Thunder Legion?"

Arthur shook his head.

"It's a bit of a long story from the beginning. Sigh Canyon is not the original, 12 years ago, the current location of Sigh Canyon suddenly uplifted, cracked, forming a more than 200 meters above the ground, the underground does not know how deep the deep deep canyon, the wind from time to time from the canyon blowing like a sigh, hence the name. ”

"Because the Canyon of Sighs is located at the junction of humans and beasts, it has attracted many human mercenary groups and orc hunting teams to hunt for treasures in the canyon. Because of the long-cherished grudge between humans and beasts, the baby was not found, but the battle between the two sides was not less. The battle between the mercenary group and the hunting party was no matter how fierce the battle seemed to the two armies, but in the end, it involved both armies, and even turned into a war between the two clans. ”

"Why?" asked Arthur curiously.

"Because a mercenary group really found the treasure from the canyon. ”

"What treasure can involve both armies?"

"A magical crystal similar to a magic crystal, our human race calls it 'Yuan Crystal', and the orcs call it 'Source Stone'. ”

"Yuanjing?" Arthur had never heard of such a thing.

Shino smiled, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because not many people have actually seen it." I have also heard that Yuanjing is a pure energy crystal, and it has no attributes, whether it is a warrior, a magician or an orc, it can absorb the energy in it, and transform it into fighting energy, magic or totemic power at will. ”

"There is such a miraculous thing in the world!" Arthur couldn't help but marvel.

"The energy contained in the Yuan Crystal is not only pure but also very abundant, the Terran Warrior took three days to completely absorb the energy in a piece of Yuan Crystal, and absorbing the Dou Qi refined into the body is equivalent to the accumulation of three months of cultivation. ”

"This is equivalent to speeding up the cultivation time by ten times, and the Terran warriors and magicians will break their heads for him!" Arthur instantly thought of the impact it would bring.

"You're right, not only the warriors and magicians, but also the armies of the two clans also joined the battle for Yuanjing for the first time. Because the greatest value of Yuanjing is not in the usual cultivation, but in the assistance when breaking the level. How many warriors and magicians are stuck in front of the level of the war school (senior magician) and the war general (great magician), if you can have a piece of energetic Yuan Jing to assist when breaking the level, the success rate of breaking the level will be increased to more than 80%, and the war general Tianguan will become a thoroughfare, so the Yuan Jing is equivalent to a strategic resource for the two armies to determine the outcome of the war in the future. ”

The armies of the two clans fought a great battle over control of the Canyon of Sighs, and it was because of this war that the fate of many people was changed......
