As Dino slowly narrated, the inside story of the battle that year was gradually revealed.
The human and beast armies fought a fierce battle over the control of the Sighing Valley.
The Snow Wind Legion on the human side was the vanguard of the battle, and the Frost Thunder Legion was responsible for the backup, ready to go into the battlefield and give the orcs a fatal blow at any time.
At that time, Cairns was in his prime and was the youngest and most dazzling warrior in the Snow Wind Legion. Cairns took the initiative to ask Prince Hobbs for an order to lead his division to break into the Sighing Valley, and then hold the entrance to the valley, to occupy the valley before the orcs.
Cain's plan was that as long as he could hold the entrance to the valley, he could arrange for soldiers to simultaneously mine the Yuan crystals in the valley. There are many middle and lower-level officers in the legion who have been stuck at the battle school and lieutenant level for many years because of their low qualifications. If these people can use the Yuan crystals to break through the barriers, the high-level combat power of the Snow Wind Legion will be greatly improved, and they will immediately gain an advantage in the war against the orcs.
Keynes could imagine that there were also many outstanding generals among the orcs, who were both powerful and wise. After Keynes led his team into the Sighing Valley, the orcs rushed in before he had time to build a defense line. The two sides first fought a battle at the entrance of the valley, and then fought from the entrance to the depths of the valley.
The Snowstorm Legion and the orcs fought a battle outside the Sighing Valley for control of the valley entrance.
But no one expected that when the two sides were fighting hard, the Church of Light suddenly appeared.
When the human army thought that the Church of Light also wanted to get a share of the Sighing Valley, the church directly announced that the Sighing Valley was the birthplace of demons and no one was allowed to enter the Sighing Valley again.
Not only was it not allowed to enter, but the warriors who had already entered the Sighing Valley were not allowed to come out. And they directly began to arrange the "Great Light Seal" at the entrance of the valley to seal all the human and beast warriors who entered the valley.
"Why did the church do this?" Arthur was puzzled.
"The reason the church publicly announced was that the warriors who entered the canyon would bring out the demon seeds. But no one believed them. People speculated that the Church of Light might not want the Nanjing to be brought out."
"There is one thing I don't understand. The armies of both humans and beasts are fighting for the entrance to the valley. The Snowstorm Legion will stop the attack, but will the orcs let the Church of Light seal the Sighing Canyon?"
"It's exactly the opposite of what you think. The orcs stopped the attack first, but the Snowstorm Legion was determined to stop them from sealing the canyon, even at the cost of turning against the church."
"Ah?" Arthur was even more puzzled.
"Because the Orc Temple and the Church of Light have reached an agreement in private and agreed to seal the canyon, but it was the Church of Light that sealed it. Unlike the human race, which still has a dispute between divine power and royal power, the Temple has absolute authority among the orcs, so the orcs immediately stopped the attack and gave up the orc troops entering the canyon. But Prince Hobbs firmly disagreed, to give up the warriors in the canyon."
"What is the Orc Temple?"
"You will know later, these existences are too far away from you now. Because of rescuing the warriors in the canyon, the armies of the two tribes went to war again, but the purpose of this war changed. Under the order of the Temple, the orc army tried desperately to prevent the Snowstorm Legion from approaching the canyon."
Arthur didn't expect the inside story of this war to be so tortuous, nor did he expect Prince Hobbs to be so brave that he would go to war with the Church of Light to rescue his own warriors.
"What happened next?"
Shine smiled bitterly, "Of course Hobbes didn't succeed. The orc army on the other side was slightly stronger than the Snowstorm Legion, and the Snowstorm Legion couldn't repel the orcs from approaching the valley entrance. So Hobbes asked Grand Duke Palmer for help, asking the Frost Thunder Legion to cooperate with the Snowstorm Legion to attack the orcs, but Grand Duke Palmer finally chose to stay put."
"I understand. No wonder Jinuo, Gold and the others didn't like the Frost Thunder Legion? The Grand Duke didn't want to disobey the King's orders at the time, right?"
"No, the old S. Tech has not been on the throne for long, and his control over the kingdom and the various legions is far from what it is today. He has not made any statement on the matter of the Church of Light sealing the Valley of Sighs. Therefore, I guess the Grand Duke chose to stay put due to the pressure from the Church of Light. Of course, there are rumors that the church and the Grand Duke reached a secret agreement. "
No matter what the real reason is, the result in front of the world is that when the Snow Legion was fighting desperately with the orcs, the Frost Thunder Legion chose to stand by and watch. Therefore, after the war, many people laughed at the Frost Thunder Legion for being cowards and soft eggs.
"Then how did Captain Keynes and his men get out?" This is the question that Arthur is most concerned about.
"Keynes is indeed a real man and leader. Almost at the moment when the Great Light Seal sealed the Sighing Valley, a huge sword stretched out from the valley and tore a hole more than one person wide in the seal, allowing his soldiers to rush out of the valley one by one. He was the last one to come out of the seal. He was seriously injured in that battle, but left the Snow Wind Legion after his injury healed."
Arthur seemed to see the scene of a man and a sword tearing the seal, and almost subconsciously took out the Falling Star Sword from his bracelet.
Dino took the Falling Star Sword from Arthur and rubbed it carefully, "Is this the sword that Keynes had back then? The sword is spiritual, treat it well, the sword that can tear open the seal of light is definitely not an ordinary item!"
Arthur suddenly realized a problem and asked hurriedly, "Just now you said that the Valley of Sighs has been completely sealed by the church, so how can we get in?"
"After I arrived at the Frost Thunder Legion, I personally checked the seal. I don't know why the seal became unstable. I have a way to open a small hole in the seal. There is enough room for several people to enter."
Arthur suddenly put down the wine glass and said seriously: "Thank you for telling me so much. Now let's formally discuss the deal. What do you want us to enter the Sighing Valley for?"
Dino smiled, "You are so smart that you must have guessed it. I want Nanjing. When you enter the Sighing Valley this time, all the gains except Nanjing belong to you, but I want half of the Nanjing."
Arthur also smiled slightly, "Very reasonable, deal."
The two palms were gently clasped together.
"There is one last question, purely out of personal curiosity. As the general guarding the Sighing Canyon, why did you take such a big risk to get the Nanjing?"
Dino pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Although I have now recovered to the tenth level of the general, I still dare not use my fighting spirit at full strength. Facing the generals and orc heroes of the same level, I can only barely protect myself. The pure and abundant energy in the Nanjing can warm the meridians and heal hidden injuries."
"You haven't even seen the Nanjing. Who did you hear it from?" Arthur didn't quite believe it.
"I guessed. You can't imagine how badly Cairns was injured in that battle. Everyone, including Prince Hobbs, thought he couldn't make it, but he not only survived but also saved his meridians. Do you really think it's a miracle? And Jinuo, he is the youngest eleventh-level general of the entire human race. Do you really think he is gifted and relies entirely on his own practice?"
"You mean the Nanjing?"
Dino didn't say anything else.
At the same time, a huge cavalry team wearing all silver armor and golden cloaks was rushing towards the Frost Thunder Legion's base.
Twelve years later, the Church of Light appeared again. Will history repeat itself?
