"No, it's okay." Locke forced a smile. He was not blaming Freya, but when he thought of the sacrifice of the legion commander, he was overwhelmed with grief and could hardly control himself.

"Alas." Rhett also sighed at this time, looked at Locke, then looked at the others, and said: "Should we... go look for Atis's body..."

Hearing this, Locke trembled and walked to the lake alone: ​​"I'll go by myself. I know roughly where they are fighting."

He was the only one who heard the conversation between the Asian dragons just now, and knew that the legion commander had suffered cruel torture. Not only did he not dare to look at it directly, he also did not want others to see it.

Ledros wanted to say something and stretched out his hand to put it on the other's shoulder, but after Locke used the secret of extreme speed, he disappeared into thin air at such a speed, passing over the lake and disappearing into the distance.

About half an hour later.

Locke returned with a sealed package in his hands. At this time, Rhett and others had already organized the team and were waiting for Locke's return.

Locke's expression was even gloomier than before. He took a complicated look at the team in front of him, among which only a few were his original subordinates.

Although he won, the joy in his heart was overwhelmed by sadness. He looked down at the package in his arms, forced a smile, and said, "Let's go back..."

Leiter and Ledros patted his shoulders and gave him encouraging looks. Then, the group, led by several high-ranking officers, left the Kawa Valley.

Two months later.

Rhett, who had just finished a war with the elite team of Shadow Tigers, stood on the ground where blood flowed like a river.

The scene before him not only did not cause him any emotional fluctuations, but even urged Tucker to quickly harvest the remaining twenty or so orcs who had lost their ability to move.

Watching the light screens popping up one after another in front of him, Leiter recalled that not long after the battle of Kava Valley ended, he received news that the orcs had sent more shadow tigers, and he sighed inwardly:

"Sure enough, the thousands of elite Shadow Tigers are no joke. The pressure they bring is really not small. In the past two months, I'm afraid the casualty rate of each legion has increased a lot..."

Even in the Sixth Legion where he was, many soldiers had died in recent times. Although he had strong personal combat capabilities, he was unable to take care of every team that was out on patrol or on mission.

The surprise attack team of more than 100 Shadow Tigers and Night Cats that they just killed had attacked and killed more than 100 of their patrols in the past half month. He had been tracking them for more than a week before he finally captured them!

At this moment, he glanced at his system panel, the column [Destiny Value: 15193], and his mood became slightly disturbed.

If nothing unexpected happens, these fate points can allow him to directly break through to the ninth-level Grand Mage, becoming the most powerful existence under the Holy Domain! To put it simply, if there is a so-called battle power ranking, then he will definitely be in the top 100, the top 100 in the world! To be honest, he was a little tempted, but he still couldn't figure out how many fate points were needed to break through to the Holy Domain? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Or maybe there were other conditions...

At this moment, he was eager to break through, but the next moment, thinking that King Milan might still be secretly monitoring him, he immediately calmed down!

"No, I absolutely cannot break through two levels from the seventh-level Grand Mage right under the eyes of the Holy Land. This completely goes against the power system of this world and is impossible!"

Taking a deep breath, Rhett decided to put the breakthrough on hold for a while. He should now conduct a simulation to get the latest perspective.

In the past two months, apart from the orcs sending nearly a thousand shadow tigers to the cold wave defense line, basically nothing major happened, and his operation to harvest destiny points went smoothly.

But he didn't know whether there would be other variables in the future that would hinder his plans.

So I had an idea and turned on the system.

[Do you want to start text simulation? Each year of simulation consumes 5 points of destiny. ]

"Yes, simulate for one year."

[In the 481st year of the Jinlun calendar, on December 20, you annihilated an orc raiding team.]

[On January 27, 482 of the Jinlun calendar, you sent a team of scouts to the (39, 02) area where the Jackdaw Valley is located to gather intelligence.]

[On February 13, the scouts returned. You listened to their findings, but did not see any news about the appearance of the Pale Knight and King Milan.]

[On March 1, you found King Milan again and said that a mysterious person had sent a message that the Blood God Cult leader would launch an indiscriminate attack on the Canyon Defense Line against orcs and humans, and that Sheman was planning to attack the Alchemy Workshop, and suggested that you prepare in advance. King Milan said seriously that they had also investigated and that Sheman was indeed not dead and was being hunted down with all their strength, and that they would make targeted measures regarding the Canyon Defense Line! ]

[Then, King Milan asked you where the ashes of the note were. Since you had noticed it in advance, you came up with a new excuse - the other party began to use the obscure track of the earth element to transmit information. King Milan asked in return, is that person a holy mage of the earth element? You said you didn't know, but based on the obscurity of the earth element, it should be difficult for other great mages to achieve such a level. ]

[On March 22, you heard that a great battle of Saint Domains broke out in the Red Forest. Many Saint Domains joined forces to besiege the area, and Sherman was completely defeated! ]

[On April 7, you received an order that you would follow the Eighth Legion to flank the orc army due to a sudden massive attack by the orcs. That night, a great battle broke out in an area near the center of the battlefield.]

[On April 15, you proposed that due to the recent rampant attacks by the Shadow Tigers, you should send more personnel to the Boze Peak stronghold, and Ledros agreed.]

[On April 19, you ambushed in the Boze Peak in advance. That night, you were indeed attacked by the orcs. Thanks to your advance preparation, you wiped out the hundreds of Shadow Tigers and Night Cats who were invading. Then you returned to provide support in time and encountered the orcs who were fighting with the garrison troops, and killed them all! ]

[On April 23, a soldier sent you a letter saying that your outstanding performance was recognized and that Commander-in-Chief Ancus appointed you as the head of the Tenth Legion and asked you to return to the Cold Current Camp within a month to be assigned. On the same day, you told Ledros the news and he expressed his warm congratulations to you!]

[On April 29, you returned to the Cold Current Camp and, under the witness of Bomir, officially became the head of the Tenth Legion. At the same time, you unexpectedly discovered that Locke volunteered to join your legion as deputy head. This request made Ankus ponder for a long time, and finally agreed to the two of you joining forces.]

[On May 17, you led your team to the Sixth Legion's base and found an ambush of more than a hundred Shadow Tigers. You led your army to surround them and engaged in a fierce battle. In the end, your deputy legion leader Locke was unfortunately killed, and the orc surprise attack team including eight high-level Shadow Tigers also died on the spot. Unfortunately, two high-level Shadow Tigers successfully escaped under the cover of their teammates.]

[May 23, with your outstanding military achievements, the reputation of the Tenth Legion gradually became famous in the Cold Current Defense Line, attracting the attention of the Orcs.]

[On July 21, Lawrence fought a life-and-death battle with Doss and finally broke through to become the Earth Knight.]

[On July 28, while you were receiving supplies at the Cold Current Defense Line, you heard an urgent message from someone that a mysterious strongman had attacked the Canyon Defense Line, indiscriminately attacking orcs and humans, and was counterattacked by the two Sanctuaries. In the end, the Sanctuary of the orcs was seriously injured due to lack of understanding.]

[On August 9, the human and orc leaders held a conversation and decided to temporarily suspend the war until the Blood God leader hiding behind the scenes was found. During this period, the Kingdom of Jinlun was not allowed to continue using the genocidal poison. Both sides reached an agreement.]

[On August 15, I received news that the cold front conscription order was lifted, and the nobles who responded to the conscription were rewarded according to their merits. Due to your outstanding performance and the recommendation of Hogus, you were successfully promoted to Grand Duke and established your own principality.]

[On August 16, you were summoned by the King of Milan to discuss matters related to your promotion to a noble title. After some discussion, the entire southwestern border was incorporated into your duchy, and you will become the... Grand Duke of the Southwest of the Kingdom of Jinlun!]

[On August 17, before leaving, you invited Isad's master to your territory. After careful consideration, he agreed to your request, but he could not guarantee that he would stay in Dark Eagle City forever. If the war resumes in the future, he may return to Ice City at any time.]

[On September 3, Klina became pregnant with her third child! ]

[On September 15, the news that you became the Grand Duke of Southwest China spread like wildfire to every corner of the country. People moved to or headed to the Southwest Border in an endless stream. The development of the Southwest Border was accelerated by your rise.]

[On October 2, on the way back, you heard about your achievements in overcoming difficulties and killing countless enemies, and you felt quite satisfied.]

[On October 19, as more and more people arrived at the southwest border, the security of the entire area began to gradually become chaotic. The extraordinary forces of Dark Eagle City were stretched to their limits, and White Hat was unable to handle it alone.]

[On November 3, while White Hat was out on a mission, Tieba's blacksmith shop was visited by a group of thieves, and thousands of gold coins were lost.]

[On November 21, you were about to return to the territory, but when you passed through the Yak Jungle, you saw blood all over your eyes, and the next moment you lost consciousness. You died.]

[Text simulation is over, do you want to continue simulation? ]

"no!"

The light curtain in front of him gradually dissipated, and a hint of understanding flashed in Rhett's eyes.

In the end, he still ended up dead, but Rhett was not surprised. From the trajectory in the simulation, he knew that he was in the limelight, and the Blood God leader seemed to no longer be hiding his true colors and making trouble everywhere, so it was not difficult to understand why he noticed him.

Now that he has mastered more secrets of the world, he has realized that both the Blood God and the orcs have an irreversible malice towards the native world.

Therefore, he would not feel it was outrageous if there were any actions that weakened local strength, no matter how unusual the actions were.

But he was not panicked. He was already accustomed to death in simulations. There was still a year left, which was enough time for him to make many adjustments and changes.

There was some good news in this simulation. He was finally promoted to Grand Duke and controlled a principality! From then on, he became a local tyrant like Grand Duke Blue Diamond, enjoying great power and resources! Lei Te thought about it for a while, and he quickly gathered his thoughts. At the moment, stabilizing the cold front line was the top priority.

He looked around at the troops around him and gave the order: "All troops, listen up! Clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to the base!"

"Yes, sir!!"

Returning to the temporary station of the Sixth Legion, Leiter saw Ledros who was training in the training ground. He gave a few instructions to the soldiers who were practicing encirclement tactics in front, and then came out of the training ground alone. Seeing Leiter's return, he said with a look of joy:

"Welcome back, Leiter. It seems that this mission went very smoothly. Our soldiers suffered almost no casualties. How strong is this Shadow Tiger Army?"

Lei Te quickly replied: "The highest number is two level six shadow tigers, and there are dozens of night cats. Overall, there are only three or two big cats and small cats."

Ledros groaned for a moment and said, "That's right, but we still can't let our guard down in the future. Since we received intelligence last time, the Shadow Tigers have sent thousands of more Shadow Tigers, and the situation on the cold front is becoming more and more severe."

"I'm really curious. Don't they care about the battle with the Grayru Kingdom? They mobilized so many Shadow Tigers at once, but they don't worry about affecting the balance of the regional lineup? It's crazy..."

Lei Te also pretended to be confused, sighed and said, "There are more than just these types of royal orcs. Maybe... they have flexibly drawn a lot of troops from other tribes."

“Hmm… this is the only possibility.” Ledros nodded in agreement, and then said, “Humph, these damn orcs, no matter which tribe they are from, since they dare to come to the cold current defense line, we must let them know that we are not easy to mess with. No matter how many come, we will bury them all!”

Leiter nodded resolutely, and then he heard Ledros say, "By the way, Leiter, I have another task for you. It's not a big deal."

"What's the next mission? Please tell me."

"It's like this. Freya's high-level personnel have been vacant for too long, and the Frost Castle has not had a suitable candidate. Therefore, Freya's battle results in the past two months have not been very good, and it is always difficult to carry out important tasks. Therefore, a high-level extraordinary person is urgently needed to join." Ledros said.

Lei Te blinked, feeling a little strange, and asked in surprise: "Why are you telling me this? Are you planning to transfer me there?"

Ledros laughed dumbly. "How is that possible? You are our trump card. How could you attack so easily?"

Although my thighs haven't healed yet, I found a soft cushion at home and sat on a corner of a chair to type. My butt became numb...
