The charcoal fire in the wooden house emitted a red light. Arthur took out a pot of wine, and in the light of the fire, Old Jose slowly told the past.

"Keans was the youngest division commander of the Wind and Snow Legion back then. Although he was the son of the Hillow family, he did not have the arrogance and aura of the young master of the big family. The soldiers below all liked the commander of the Keynes Division. It was even rumored among the soldiers that the commander of the Keynes Division would be the best candidate for the next legion commander of the Wind and Snow Legion."

Arthur smiled. Only soldiers who did not understand politics at all would be like this. Although Arthur was young, he knew that Cairns would never be able to serve as the commander of the Snow Legion.

The main forces of the Isaac Kingdom are the five major field legions and the royal city guard legion.

The commanders of the four major legions of War Song, Frost Thunder, Blazing Fire and Ironflower were from the four Dukes of the Kingdom. The commanders of the Snow and the commanders of the Snow and the commanders of the Snow and the commanders of the Snow and the commanders of the Snow and the commanders of the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow and the Snow are respectively from the four Dukes. This will be imbalanced in any case.

What Arthur did not expect was that Cairns was promoted to the position of division commander at such a young age, and the division commander was simply out of reach for him.

The kingdom military system is a field army that governs the front, back, middle, left and right five armies, with a total of 100,000 people. Each army has four divisions, ranging from four to five thousand people per division. Arthur's Huge Infantry Regiment to whom Arthur is now just one of the infantry regiments of the Third Division of the Front Army of the Wind and Snow Legion, and it crosses the fourth level from a squadron leader to the division commander.

Jose took a sip of wine and continued to tell slowly, "But no one expected that the most promising commander of the Keynes Division would leave the Wind and Snow Legion, and no one knew where he went later?"

"Why did he leave?" Arthur asked hurriedly. This was what he cared about the most.

Jose shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could we soldiers know the decision made by the division commander? Besides, I am not the soldiers of the division commander Keynes."

The clue suddenly broke here, and Arthur looked disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Jose continued: "It was a big deal for the commander of the Keynes Division to leave the Wind and Snow Legion back then. Our soldiers were guessing it might be related to that battle."

"What battle?"

"We Snow and Snow Army and Orcs fought a big fight in the Sighing Canyon. Cairns' division was trapped in the canyon by the orcs for some reason. The battle was so bad. The five thousand division finally rushed out less than 500 people alive, with a battle loss rate of 90%. The entire division was almost gone."

"Tell me the details."

"How could I know the details? At that time, the commander of our regiment was not Hu Ge. He was stationed in a defense area 300 kilometers away from the Sigh Canyon to prevent orcs from attacking the rear. He didn't even get any hair in such a big battle."

Arthur pondered for a while and asked, "Where is the division where Captain Keynes's division now?"

"It's gone long ago. Many of the soldiers who rushed out of the Sighing Canyon alive, who were disabled, retired directly, and some of them followed the commander of the Keynes Division. The division was equivalent to a complete reconstruction. There are probably not many who are still in the Wind and Snow Legion."

Arthur fell into silence, and the clues were completely cut off at this point.

"Captain Keynes Division is OK now?" Jose asked tentatively.

"He died more than three years ago?"

Jose was stunned, then sighed softly, "What a pity."

"But he found a good master for Xingyue Sword."

"Um?"

"You are very similar to the division commander back then."

"Like him? That big beard?" Arthur smiled.

"He grew a beard later?"

"He didn't have a beard at that time?"

Both of them stopped talking. No one knew what Keynes had experienced back then, and asked him to leave the army and deliberately change himself?

Arthur fell into a long silence again, and he didn't even notice when Jose left.

However, when Jose left, he took away the leather armor, cloak and long sword.

......

The incident of Cairns seemed to have passed like this, and Arthur never mentioned it again.

Starting the next day, Arthur joined the patrol team and led a team back and forth on the fifteen-mile defense line every day.

In addition to patrol missions, he would follow Jose or monkeys to hunt in the forest, hunt some pheasants, porcupines and other things to improve the food for the squadron brothers.

Arthur's archery skills from the elf shooter are more than a little better than monkeys. Since Arthur joined the hunting team, the squadron's meat has been eaten almost every day.

The soldiers claimed to have lived the happiest period of their lives since they joined the army.

But before a few days have passed, they are trapped in hellish ordeal.

The reason was that the monkey was trying to learn archery all day long. Inspired by the monkey, Arthur simply began to teach all the martial arts of soldiers in the entire squadron. What he taught was naturally "The Death Trick". Arthur, who had never been a teacher, was naturally a copy of Randall's training method.

For the first time these soldiers experienced the devilish side of their squadron leader.

In addition to training his soldiers, Arthur's own cultivation has not fallen behind, and Arthur also found the best sparring opponent for himself, the two human-faced demon bears.

After losing the cubs, the two demon bears did not leave their original nests, and Arthur came to them every now and then.

When the two demon bears rushed up together, Arthur turned around and ran away. At first, the two bears were still chasing behind them, but they had too many times. After knowing that they could not catch up, they simply didn't even bother chasing them.

When a demon bear pounced on him alone, Arthur had a human-bear battle with the other party. Arthur did not take any action now, and completely regarded the demon bear as an opponent to hone his martial arts and strength.

Arthur also discovered another accident that there was a lake near the Winterfell Lake station. The lake surface was not big, just two or three square kilometers. The lake water was not deep but biting cold.

Arthur discovered that practicing alchemy and spiritual cultivation in the cold lake water, combined with the "Ice Spirit Heart" not only completely offset the burning sensation during practice, but also the whole body was cool and transparent.

There are no women here anyway. Arthur now takes off all his legs and sits cross-legged on a bluestone in the lake for a period of time to practice. When practicing, only the part above his neck is exposed.

Time flies in the military camp. When the soldiers celebrated with the meat and wine they had suddenly distributed, Arthur realized that the New Year had arrived unconsciously.
