Due to his command in the ambush and pincer attack, the Dragonwolves Battalion successfully claim the south valley where the Acacius Dynasty Ancient Ruins is said to be located.

"Okay then, but in this coming three months I like to both of us practice together"- Peyton

" is it okay for you to do that? is your situation progressing?"- Luis asked

"we do have progress in the power struggle in the family, my father was now recovering several territories in the east forest, also, we are gathering several men for the formation of new battalion under my father. but because of that my 2nd uncle is pressured and is now forming a connection with the royal family. I know the position of my father, one wrong move we will be thrown out." Peyton

"what about the investigation of your mother's death?" Luis  suddenly asked.

" About that, we did not progress, it seems the matter regarding my mother's death is the conspiracy of a powerhouse more powerful that the Wettins clan." Peyton replied in teary eye.

"Hmm, Don't worry time will come when we will know the truth. I will help you" - Luis

"By the way here" Peyton gave him an ******.

"What is this" Luis asked.

"that will be the medium for calling my master, I ask him to help you in this coming three months, he will help you in your problem"- Peyton

" Hey, don't worry to much, I know you are trying everything for the justice of your mother" Luis

" Thank you" Peyton replied while waving and waking out from the garden.
