""Zhou Li and I have never regarded Yin Jue as an enemy."

In the dark office, an oil lamp that illuminated the entire room was burning slowly. In the entire city made of pyroxene, Herrinin only loved the flames that erupted when these greases were ignited.

"The only enemy is the west"

Obstacles and enemies are not equal.

"Father, you..."

Evan on the side had just come out of the shock. When he saw Lorca leaving and Herinin handing three letters to different people, he suddenly thought of something.

He thought of the warm water drops, the gathering black clouds, and the howling wind.

He thought that many years ago, when Radiance technology was not completely popularized, the method of mobilizing the legions was this extremely primitive letter. And when Evan saw the look of relief on Herinin's face when he handed over the letter,

He understands.

Original means safe.

"Except for that exchange, Zhou Li and I have never directly talked about the West..."

Fingertips lightly clasped the table, and only a dead calm remained on Herinin's old face. He stared at the darkness and light in the corridor, and said in a low voice, "We all know that on the topic of the West, I can talk to him in private.

No one can talk to Zhou Li about the horrors of the West, even with a commoner. But I cannot directly talk to Zhou Li about the West."

"Because Yin Jue is watching."

A cold light flashed in Helinin's eyes, "I have always wondered why once our legion leaves the country and steps into the western land, those crystal monsters follow us like shadows, waiting for opportunities. I have done this countless times.

I have made speculations and conducted no less than a thousand reviews, but I can’t figure out why we keep failing.”

"Now, we understand."

The surface of the badge in his hand felt slightly cool, and Herinen still could not forget the pain and despair on his face when he collected the remains of the martyrs when the third western expedition failed.

"It makes no sense."

Clenching his hands, Herrinen was buried in the shadows, but his eyes were full of hot fire. "The Church of Commerce said that there is no wealth or money in the wild west. Exploring that land is just a waste of effort."

"The Church of Elements said that there are only cursed mutated elements in that land. Wherever we go, we will only be cursed by the elements. The water we drink, the wind and sand we pass through, and the sand we walk on will all make our soldiers suffer. They

Please advise me not to continue to be stubborn."

"Yin Jue once contacted me in a personal capacity and told me that the west is a land abandoned by the gods. There are only disasters in that land. What I should do is to let these disasters destroy themselves. Don't let the heroic warriors waste their lives in vain.

, died in the hands of those monsters."

"The Arnold Chamber of Commerce donated countless amounts of dust and metal for free during the third expedition. But he did not support the Western Expedition, but supported me and an emperor who could protect him. He has said on countless occasions

, if these ashes can be placed in the hands of the commercial church, more beautiful buildings will be built."

There seems to be anger in his eyes, but more importantly, there is deep helplessness. Tariq has brilliant technology, a united spirit, and a united will. He has countless soldiers who are willing to go through fire and water for the country, and some who choose "Chaowen Dao" in order to pursue the truth.

, a scientist who will die soon.

However, he was forced to compromise with the church and the Chamber of Commerce. What the world didn't know was that since Helinin came to power and started the Western Expedition, Yinjue's hands were not only satisfied with playing with the economy, he also began to

Express love, start condolences to soldiers, and start donating money.

Herrining knew that this was not Yin Jue's attack. On the contrary, it was his kind reminder. Yin Jue was always like this. He would give people a "reminder" from above to satisfy his charitable heart. And Herinen

, chose to reject his "goodwill".

The whole world believes that Tariq's choice to cut off foreign trade and turn himself into a trade deficit country for all countries is Tariq's goodwill. But only Herinen knows that this is Silver Jue's warning and his whipping.

Since then, Herinen understood that the impact of the Twelve Hours on Tarik was too profound. It was not that Tarik's soldiers were not brave enough, nor that Tarik's technology was not powerful enough. What made Herinen fail was

compromise.

If Herinen had not chosen to follow Silver Jue's advice to stop development during the first Western Expedition, he might have been able to completely defeat the Crystal Creatures before they developed. But at that time, Herinen chose to compromise and choose

Let Yinjue establish an underground black market and choose to let Yinjue invest in national enterprises.

Since then, Tariq has become a "dead developed country". During the exercise at that time, the moment Zhou Li took out the mortar, Herinin felt as if his heart was being clenched tightly.

This kind of pain emerged in his heart. Because he knew that when he chose to compromise with Yin Jue in order to stabilize Tariq's economy and to feed the hungry people, Tariq was already dead.

Already.

Taric can produce sharper magic swords and harder magic shields. But no one has discovered that a flashing rune can be added to the magic shield. Taric has sealed himself, except for every year

Only a very small number of people are allowed to enter this country except for the martial arts club.

This is not arrogance, but a helpless compromise.

"If this country is going to perish, he should not grow old and die in silence."

When Herining saw Zhou Li killing the God of Death for the first time, Herining began to look forward to the day when this young man came to Tariq. No one knew that when Herining saw it for the first time

When he arrived in Zhouli and saw the brave man who had never compromised, Herinin's heart, which had been silent for decades, began to beat for the first time.

"When the first batch of Western Expeditionary troops died in the hands of Jinggui, when the pain of the Western Region was recorded, when I ascended the throne of Tariq and chose to become the leader of this country, I chose a path of no return.

"

The Chamber of Commerce's obstruction, Twelve Quarter's "advice", and Yin Jue's methods.

The West is like a taboo for these noble people who control wealth. They are tired of Herrinin's useless efforts time and time again and wasting resources on the worthless West again and again.

Yes, for businessmen, interests are always paramount. But what about the country?

That land has no minerals, no gold or silver. But it does have Tariq boundary markers, Tariq people waiting to return home, ghosts who cannot return home, and the bones of countless martyrs buried in that barren land.

.They came together and formed...

"National dignity."

Stretch out your hand and crush this badge.

Outside the window, it started to rain.

"Supreme."

Thunder, explosion.

The rain kept beating on the ground, causing a splash of water in the darkness.

Darkness covers the border, shrouding the entire country and devouring the land. The border is like a wandering dragon raging between desolation and civilization.

Storm, drizzle, shield of the guardian, third legion.

Seen from the sky, these four dark squares are extremely small for the entire country. They are just four grains of corn in the ocean. But only they know that these four grains of corn will fall on the land called the West.

, let the thunder roar.

But now, they just stood silently. They looked at the high wall in front of them quietly, looking at the area in front of them that separated civilization from barbarism, waiting for a signal.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and even the rain and fog began to disperse. After a long time, a voice suddenly sounded from the end.

"drizzle."

Wearing a black uniform, the bird cage and bird feathers intertwined. The young man named Luo Ka wore his former glory and stood at the end of the road. He looked at the legion that had been prepared for him, with a bright look in his eyes.

"Moisturize all things."

An ethereal, neat response sounded. The Drizzle Army split into two, waiting for their general to return.

"storm."

The strong wind began to howl, and at the border sentry, the soldiers stared intently at the desolate land in front of them. Their task was to block the outside of the high wall, while the Merchant Church Guard not far away was responsible for blocking the inside of the high wall.

The crazy wind covered their hearing, and the drizzle blocked their sight.

"Destruction without limit."

Wearing mithril armor and holding a long sword, she was like a sharp and elegant rose. Tia walked in the strong wind, her long golden hair tied into a ponytail swaying slightly in the wind. She stood in front of the Storm Legion, with no more fear in her eyes.

Where there was confusion and hesitation, what remains is only the perseverance to move forward.

Tia, Lorca, Don Quixote, Torea.

The four major legions gathered at the border of the empire. If Yin Jue was still there at this time, the Commercial Church did not madly target Zhou Li, and the ten major chambers of commerce followed the will of the Commercial Church, then it would be difficult for them to gather anyway.

.

But now, Zhou Li did it.

He attracted everyone's attention, including the rats of the empire, the crows hiding in the darkness, and the twelve moments of silence.

He attracted all the eyes that had been wary of Tariq's expedition to the west, and used those ancient stories and bloodlines to focus all attention on himself.

Now, it's time to end this.

Zhou Li stood in the rain curtain, with Eluma's black mist blocking the rain. Hathaway flipped the dagger up and down in boredom, but her eyes were full of excitement. Alyosha, who was wearing a raincoat, looked at these daggers.

The fierce temperament of the legion has an extremely wonderful expression.

From now on, Lin Zi and Lin Ling will work with the Al brothers and sisters to maintain the "Zhou Li" in Tarik. They will continue to harass the underground chamber of commerce, and will also start negotiations with those people. Herinen will mediate.

, so that their battle can never be escalated and the battle cannot be escalated into a war.

Zhou Li, on the other hand, will lead the elite army of the empire into the west in a covert and silent operation. This time, they will find the source of Jinggui and find a way to completely eliminate Jinggui. And Zhou Li,

will find the answer he wants.
