Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 115

The raging fire reflected the night of the wilderness incomparably coquettishly.

It was a late-night ball thrown by the Goddess of War, and she had Fire and Death as guests.

The horses, which were frightened by the flame porcupine, turned around and ran away. After fleeing westward for 300 meters, they were finally appeased by the knights of "Pride of the South";

They tightened the reins, forcing the horses to turn their heads, and continued to sprint towards the hateful terrace camp without hesitation.

But they have been left far behind by their leader——

Ethan Garcia, deputy knight commander of the "Pride of the South" Knights in Rock Creek City, and his most elite forty or so cavalry, were hardly affected by the flame porcupine:
The moment they saw Mars behind the porcupine and realized that something was wrong, they immediately reacted, and while slowing down their horses, they quickly covered it with the cloth bags at hand or with the blindfolds they took out of their saddle bags. The line of sight of your own mounts, in case they panic due to unexpected situations.

And their superb riding skills, as well as the close cooperation with their mounts cultivated by their long-term military career, finally saved the battle.

In a sense, the undead porcupine rushing over with a belly full of vine oil and the "Molotov rocket" like a flying fairy have one huge thing in common, that is, Kongzi is terrifying in power, but its actual lethality is limited.

Facing the "Pride of the South" cavalry who ate and lived with war horses since they were young and had an extraordinary tacit understanding between them, the scaring effect of the flame on the horses was not as brilliant as everyone in Shuangfengling had imagined.

Due to the scarcity of archers, the limited ability of the sling, the javelin has just been put into production and has not yet been completed, and the weak long-range projection ability is undoubtedly the most fatal shortcoming of Shuangfengling at present.

If there are twenty, no, ten serious elite archers on the Phoenix Terrace at this moment, it is only by virtue of the fierce wind of "Boares Strong Wind Call", they are also enough to make this group of cavalrymen use the condescending arrow rain. Have a good drink!
Unfortunately, "if" is just "if".

Fortunately, when Deputy Knight Commander Garcia led his elites, protruding from the fire scene like a god of war on fire, and approaching the Phoenix Terrace without hesitation, Mayor Joel was already aware of the potential danger and began to quickly Evacuate the citizens on the west side of the camp.

Facts have proved that the vigilance of the old mayor was not in vain.

Because the actions of the "Pride of the South" knights far exceeded the imagination of all the boys in Shuangfengling.

Within the range of action of "Boreas Call of the Strong Wind", most of the arrows shot from west to east will crash into the sand.

——At this time, everyone in the Phoenix Terrace thought that the opponent had given up their plan to launch a fire attack with rockets, and wanted to return to the traditional cavalry tactics and use the purest impact to destroy the camp's outer fortifications;
It is precisely because of this consideration that the two high-level fighters, Clement and Alice, have led the militiamen of the Phoenix Terrace to stand behind the Green Dam: once the outer wall is breached by the enemy, the militiamen who have been trained these days will Use swords and throwing stones to give the opponent a head-on blow in actual combat!
However, this group of recruits will eventually be disappointed.

Because Deputy Knight Commander Garcia and his Rock Creek cavalry had no intention of approaching the camp with their bodies.

A whole troop of cavalry just raised their kite shields at a position more than 100 meters below the platform outside the green dam, pulled the reins to stop the horses, and completely ignored the fangs and claws of the wooden repelling horses and the straight high solid wood wall.

Deputy Knight Commander Garcia grinned grinningly in the shadow of the kite shield, and then recited in a low voice the prayers he had recited on countless battlefields——

—Pray for your own victory, but also for the death of your enemies:
"Vestassa, the fiery goddess of flames, I am here to ask for your grace to let your eternal pure holy fire purify all the filth in the world..."

Amid Garcia's deputy knight commander's prayers, under the cover of the kite shields of the cavalry in the front row, the knights in the back row took out parchment scrolls one after another from their saddle bags.

The two old mages of Rock Creek who were thrown off their horses in the fire and were rescued by the knights also tremblingly climbed off their horses from behind the savior, stood on the solid ground and began to cast spells singing.

From the beginning to the end, the goal of "Pride of the South" was to use magic to cremate this unsightly wooden camp!

Ballista, charge, everything, it's just to bring the target closer to the range of the spell and the scroll!
Why didn't the Grand Duke of Houston send his most trusted "Pride of the South" Knight Commander Brando, but handed over the task of eradicating Frost Maple Ridge to Deputy Knight Commander Ethan Garcia?

Because Ethan Garcia, who is a follower of the Goddess of Fire and has extensive contacts in the circle of magicians, is the best siege expert in the entire city of Rock Creek who is good at using magic power!
Ethan Garcia, who was born in the prominent magician family "Garcia Family", although he has no magical talent and was sent to the Imperial Military Academy as a knight and commander for training early, he can still rely on his family resources, Get the magic scroll resource that other troop commanders can only dream of!
After he swore allegiance to the Grand Duke of Houston, these magic scrolls also became the second magical force available to the Grand Duke of the South besides the mage group under Ander Spencer-this time the Grand Duke sent him and Spencer to work together. Going to war may not be without political intentions to maintain the balance between the two sides.

According to legend, in ancient times, there used to be a group of magicians in the Great Elf Empire. They were not only powerful in magic but also skilled in bowing horses.
And relying on the rich inventory of scrolls, Garcia's "Pride of the South" Knights is also a low-profile version of the "Magic Cavalry" that not only has heavy armor and a sharp sword, but also can burn all enemies with magic!
Facing the wooden fortifications of the Phoenix Terrace, Ethan Garcia, the deputy knight commander, led the team to stand on horseback, straightening their backs.

The obscure voice of the Aeolian ancient rune echoed in the air;
The wax seals of one magic scroll after another were peeled off by the fingers of the "Pride of the South" knights wearing the "magic activation ring" and fell into the dust;
Behind them, the raging flames rising from the vines seemed to be no longer enemies but allies.

The fire element danced wildly in the air, and the gale of death howled across the boundless land.

The fireball summoned by the two middle-level magicians flew towards the watch tower behind the Green Dam like a guided missile. The flame ring rotating around the fireball was like the supreme crown of the flame goddess;
But Fireball was destined to be overshadowed by a greater power.

The mentor-level magic scroll "Purgatory Flame Dragon", together with countless lower-level scrolls, summoned a frenzy of elements, instantly illuminating the dark land of the Soul Breaker, breaking through the thick clouds in the sky, and it was like an apocalypse for a while.

In the distant Moon God's Village, Karen Lepage stood in front of the window, holding her cold cheeks, frowning and watching the blood-red flame flashing across the eastern sky.

She realized out of nowhere that this was a red killing night.
