"What's the reason?" asked Rhett.

"You will understand why I tell you this, because Freya only found out a week ago that due to the recent urgent war situation, the Cold Current Defense Line has not been able to spare enough manpower to form a new legion. In addition, although Locke is strong, his personal qualifications and command ability are still questionable, so his position as legion leader has not been confirmed by the Frost Fortress." Ledros said, "So now many legions are eyeing Locke, and Freya is no exception. And in the last operation in the Kawa Valley, you made a great contribution and owed a favor to Locke. Freya hopes that you can help persuade Locke to join the Fourth Legion."

"I see." Lei Te's eyes flashed with realization, he touched his chin and said, "It's no problem to negotiate with Locke, but... given Locke's current strength, is it appropriate to assign him to Freya's command?"

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this problem. It's only temporary. For Locke, if he wants to further improve his qualifications and prove his ability, the best way out is to find another deputy legion commander position." Ledros smiled and said, "In fact, as far as I know, many legions in the cold current camp have approached Locke and tried to win him over. Even the first legion commander has come forward. He is a sky knight who has comprehended the mystery of the earth element - gravity space, but even he failed. So Freya didn't dare to come forward in person, fearing that she would be rejected, and instead asked you to come forward.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Sixth Legion already had you, even I would be tempted, haha!"

Lei Te raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and responded: "In that case, I will go talk to Locke, but I can't guarantee that I can convince him."

“Haha, no problem. It doesn’t matter whether it succeeds or not. After all, she has come to me for help, so I have to try to help her.” Ledros said thoughtfully, “Well… I owe you a favor this time!”

Leiter shook his head and said, "Is Locke in the cold current camp now?"

"Yes, he is a couple with a female pharmacist from the alchemy workshop. They live in Fortress No. 12 near the alchemy workshop."

"I see. I'll go back to the cold current camp now." Leiter said, "Do you need me to bring some supplies?"

"Take some Fire Bath Potion and Python's Kiss with you. We've been using up a lot of supplies recently. I wanted to replenish some the last time I went back, but the alchemical potion was a bit short that time, so I didn't replenish much. I must replenish it this time." Ledros said after thinking for a while.

"no problem."

After the two chatted briefly, Ledros continued to train his soldiers, while Rhett left the training ground, returned to the base, took some people with him, and headed towards the Cold Current Camp.

Two hours later, the team was far away from the base. Tucker looked around and saw familiar figures everywhere. He looked a little relaxed. He poked Lawrence next to him with his elbow and asked, "Hey, Lawrence, how have you adapted to the war in recent months? Are you scared?"

"Well, at first I felt the cruelty and bloodiness of war, but... after seeing the brutality of the orcs, I wasn't so scared anymore."

Lawrence thought about his response. Now, the immaturity on his face had faded, and he became more manly. The light in his pupils also turned inward, but more resolute! "Seeing the cruelty of the orcs, you are not afraid anymore?" Tucker blinked his big eyes and muttered, "Interesting..."

"Either you die or I live. There is no room for negotiation. If you understand this, you will know that fear is useless." Lawrence shook his head and said, "The best outcome of the war is to annihilate the orcs. The worst outcome is nothing more than death."

"Oh, Lawrence, you are quite conscious. I feel like the Lord has said something similar in the past..."

At this time, Tadel, who was following behind the two men, took off his gray helmet and joked.

Since the two of them came to the Cold Current Defense Line for several months, they have been in the army, and there are few familiar people around them, so their nerves have been tense, and they dare not chat with others too casually. And this time, Leiter only brought a few of them who came from Dark Eagle City, and his good friend Kurs was also with him, so he had a rare chance to relax.

Lawrence was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking carefully, it seemed that the lord had really said something similar, but he had forgotten what he said specifically.

"Tadel, do you need to talk nonsense? Lawrence grew up in the lord's territory and must have been well-educated. It's normal for him to think this way." Kurs, who was beside Tadel, gulped a few sips from his water bag, looked around with disdain, and said, "You think others are like you, who look serious on the surface, but actually shouted every day that they wanted to see the female shadow tiger before coming to the cold current defense line."

When Tadel heard Coors say this, he almost choked and punched Coors' shoulder, but Coors dodged. He said angrily:

"Cools, your ability to lie is getting better and better. It's you who wanted to see how different the nature of the Asian dragons is, but you slandered me!"

"This joke is not funny at all..." Vides suddenly looked at the two of them and said coldly: "If you want to see it, I can send you two to the hands of the Asian dragons next time."

Kurs turned his head and met the cold light in Vides' one eye. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, that's not what I meant. Before I came here, I said that I wanted to let the Asian Dragons and Shadow Tigers live together. How could I joke about our own people..."

"I testify that what Kurth said is true. I haven't finished what I said just now. The content of the following few sentences is indeed that this pervert just wanted to see what it would be like if the different races of orcs were matched together..." Tadel stopped joking at this time and began to explain for his good friend.

Upon hearing this, Vides' expression eased a little, but he no longer paid attention to the two of them and shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Tucker said curiously, "Can different races of orcs give birth to offspring? If not, doesn't it mean that they are not the same race?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.

They all frowned and began to think. This question seemed childish, but in fact they had never heard anyone ask it like this before, and they couldn't answer it for a while.

Lei Te was walking at the front of the team. He had just heard the conversation in the back. When he heard Tucker's question, he thought, this world... should also have reproductive isolation, right? But in fact, it was very different from the previous life. It was not that different races would definitely not be able to give birth to offspring. It just involved the essence of extraordinary life, and no one had yet been able to understand the mystery.

"I think orcs are just a general term. They may not be the same race." Mycroft, who had been silent with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Just like Warcraft, there are many species, but they cannot mate with each other and reproduce. So the orcs should be the same."

Vaders nodded, "Yeah... makes sense."

Tadel and Coors didn't think much about it and echoed a few words in agreement.

Tucker continued blinking his bright eyes and asked, "Then why can't the Warcraft reproduce? Are orcs and Warcraft the same in nature?"

Mycroft frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "This question is too profound, no one can answer you, but I think it is a matter of course. It is difficult to understand the essence, just like how our power comes from, no one can explain it clearly."

"Okay..." Tucker scratched his head. He just said whatever came to his mind and didn't really like to dwell on details.

"Perhaps because we were born in this world and have an inseparable connection with it, it is easier for us to master the extraordinary powers in the world, just like Warcraft inherits the abilities of Warcraft, and we humans inherit the power of humans. But if we look at it from a broader perspective, we are all born in this world. Whether we are humans or Warcraft, our power... should all come from the world."

After hearing these words, some people's eyes lit up and they nodded thoughtfully, while others frowned in confusion. Among them, Vides was the first to speak:

"Is this your guess? Rhett, it sounds reasonable, but I want to ask, why didn't the orcs inherit the power of the world? Although Warcraft does not have magicians and knights, their power, in addition to the physical body, is nothing more than another use of fighting spirit and elements. In essence, it is not much different from us. But the abilities of orcs are very different from those of Warcraft and humans. Why is that?"

Mycroft interjected, "Like Rhett said, we are the descendants of the world, orcs... maybe unique twins."

"They are too different. I wonder if I picked up the wrong children." Tadel said casually.

Rhett turned his head and glanced at Tadel. The other party's unintentional words were actually closest to the truth.

The information exchange in this world is actually very closed. After all, there is no such thing as the Internet. Not much of the history from ten thousand years ago has been preserved until now. Especially the content related to the world's secrets, which was strictly kept secret by the strong men in the Holy Land ten thousand years ago and was not spread to the outside world, so ordinary people do not understand the inside story of this level.

"Who knows, anything is possible..." Lei Te said softly: "But no matter whose child it is, the orc must die!"

As the sun sets, shadows cover the earth and gray snow falls silently from the sky.

Leiter stretched out a hand, feeling the slight chill on his palm, then glanced behind him and said, "The cold current camp is ahead, let's speed up!"

Not long after, the group followed Rhett, passed through layers of checkpoints, and returned to the cold current camp.

Leiter stood at the edge of a wide street and said to Tucker, "Take some people to the execution ground and visit Taylor. It happens that you two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. This is a good opportunity."

"Haha, that's true. I haven't seen that brat Taylors for a long time. I wonder how he's been doing these past few months." Tucker smiled and said quickly, "In that case, I'll go over now!"

"Yeah." Lei Te nodded, watched Tucker leave, and said to the others: "This trip, everyone should treat it as a short rest. I allow you to move freely in the camp, but you must gather here at the checkpoint before dawn."

"receive!"

Everyone spoke in unison with smiles on their faces. After fighting on the cold front with tense nerves for several months, it was nice to be able to relax a little.

After disbanding the team, Rhett left alone and went to Fort No. 12.

Walk seven kilometers along the street, through a beautiful flowerbed, and a dome-shaped square fortress appears before your eyes.

There were two knights on duty outside the fortress. Leiter approached them, proved his identity, and then told them his purpose:

"I'm the deputy commander of the Sixth Legion, Rhett. I have something to ask Locke. Please pass on the message."

The knight on duty looked stern, saluted, and replied solemnly: "No problem, Commander Locke just returned not long ago, I will go up and tell him."

"Thank you!"

Looking at the departing figure of the knight on duty, Rhett took a few steps back, walked to the other side of the street, and looked around aimlessly.

"Oh, Rhett? Your arrival is such a surprise!"

Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. Locke quickly walked up to him, gave him a big hug, then looked at Rhett and said, "What do you want to talk to me about today? If not, I'm glad you can chat with me. If there is anything, please let me know, I will spare no effort to help!"

Leiter took Locke to the flowers they had just passed by and said thoughtfully, "Locke, I did have something to ask you today. I heard that your position has been awkward in the past two months. Have you not joined a suitable legion?"

Locke was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It is true, but it is not embarrassing. Your information may not be accurate because I have not been idle in the past few months and have been frequently sent out to perform tasks. I just came back the day before yesterday."

"So... do you want to join a certain legion and fight against the orcs deep in the front line?" Lei Te tried to ask: "If you are willing, I can introduce you to a suitable place."

Locke hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have no plans to join a new legion for the time being. At least... I won't take the initiative to apply. Unless the commander has made new arrangements for me."

After saying this, Locke paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "But... if you can become the leader of the Tenth Legion in the future, Leiter, I would be willing to fight alongside you. The combination of the two of us who have comprehended the mysteries will surely deal a fatal blow to the orcs!"

"No problem. I'll make a note of it. If there's a chance for promotion in the future, I'll definitely invite you." Rhett smiled brightly.

Locke nodded, then said, "Rhett, I actually have a question for you."

"Please go ahead."

"Hmm... when you first mastered the Mystery, did you experience any special feeling?"
