Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 117 Encirclement and suppression
Facts have proved that the heavy armored and powerful death knight is at least a professional counterpart in excavating ruins.

Clement was not bothered by the weight of the bricks and the high temperature of the fire at all. With the arm covered by the metal arm armor and the rune greatsword that made a temporary guest shovel, he dug a huge hole in the ruins of the burning manor, and then He lifted the senior official Xiahou who was in a miserable state from under the ruins.

After discovering that Xia Houyan had a broken left leg and was unable to walk, the loyal Deputy Knight Commander of Shuangfengling even carried the lord on his back, preparing to carry him across the mountains and seas.

Xia Houyan felt that the heavy metal armor of the death knight was rather shocking to be honest.

"Juan, what happened just now?" Xia Houyan asked hastily before Clement climbed out of the ruins with his back on his back.

"It's fire magic!" Clement's voice came from under the helmet, still muffled, but also with a hint of resentment and heartache, "They should have used fire magic and directly hit the Green Dam and the Arrow Tower. And Horned Eagle Manor..."

Before Xia Houyan had time to respond to Clement, he felt a strong light entering his pupils, and his eyes ached——

——A magnificent red wall of fire spread out in front of his eyes.

Without Clement's explanation, Xia Houyan also recognized what it was:
This is the Green Dam, the burning Green Dam.

The manic flames spiraled upward along every fence post, turning the entire wall into the territory of hell, turning the dark night into a carnival of elements;
Billowing thick smoke rises from the top of the wall, blocking all sight of the outside of the western territory. A fierce and blazing elemental fire belt like a dragon and snake swims in the smoke, looming, and sometimes erupts like lightning Red halo.

"Casualties..." Xia Houyan was silent for a moment on Clement's back, and asked in a low voice, "How about the casualties of the people?"

"Lord, don't worry, Mayor Joel evacuated in time..." Clement quickly replied, "A lot of people should have been burned, but as far as I know, there are no dead. After all, when the explosion happened, There are no people around the Green Dam and Arrow Tower, which were directly hit by magic..."

"Green Dam, Arrow Tower..." Xia Houyan chewed on these two fire sites, and suddenly said, "What about the collapsed Horned Eagle Manor? I remember that besides me being buried in the ruins, there were other people on the roof at that time-" —Yes, Master Laurie! Where's Master Laurie?"

"He is a junior magister, and he saved his life by using a 'levitation technique'..." Clement muttered, "I saw a few craftsmen on the roof at that time, but they were all thrown downstairs by the shock wave , at most a little fracture; I think only you, unfortunately, were buried in the collapsed ruins..."

"So, just count me as unlucky?" Xia Houyan's face suddenly darkened.

"My lord, you are usually free, so you should really pray more..." Clement reminded gently, "...I mean praying to the Supreme Holy Spirit, not the one on the portrait in your house. A 'pagan god'."

"You never imagined how strong my relationship with the 'pagan gods' is." Xia Houyan rolled his eyes.

Seeing that the lord was silent, Clement carried him on his back and began to stride forward.

"Where are we going?" Xia Houyan asked.

"East!" Clement replied without hesitation, "there is a strong wind summoned by the scroll, and the fire cannot spread to the east for the time being. Master Laurie, Mayor Joel and the others all ran there with the leaders, Ready to escape from the camp for refuge—it was a chaotic time, and Captain Comstock found that you were not in the team, so he came back with me to find you..."

Before Clement finished speaking, Xia Houyan found a familiar figure not far away——

The blond-haired female swordsman walked anxiously between the fire scenes with a pair of long legs, looking around constantly, as if she was looking for something.

"Captain Comstock, I have found the lord!" Clement also saw Alice and shouted loudly.

The female swordsman in the distance suddenly raised her head, and when she saw the lord behind the death knight, she immediately showed joy and ran over like flying.

"Lord Elliott!" Alice's hair was completely messed up, and her snow-white face was already blackened by the smoke, but she still smiled at the lord with lingering fear.

"Alice, good evening." Xia Houyan lay on Clement's back and casually snapped his fingers at his captain of the guard.

"Your legs..." Alice looked at the lord's miserable state, and quickly noticed that he seemed to have lost the ability to move, and could only be walked on the back of Clement.

"You can still use it if you raise it." Xia Houyan shrugged indifferently, and replied with curled lips, "In this way, everyone is here, right? Then let's hurry to the west to meet Master Laurie and the others..."

He suddenly remembered something, stunned for a moment, and frowned, "Wait, where are those stupid cavalrymen outside? Didn't they continue to attack after casting the fire magic? Where did they go?"

"They are considered clever, but they were mistaken by their cleverness!" Clement replied with a smile while striding forward with Xia Houyan on his back, "Their plan must be to use fire magic to plow our Phoenix Terrace, Killed them all, but they didn't notice the Dongfeng thing - under the action of the wind, the fire could not spread to the entire camp, and could only be confined to the green dam area on the west side of the platform. East escape space, and..."

"...It also formed a flame barrier, blocking the footsteps of these bastards, and cocooning themselves." Xia Houyan continued thoughtfully, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "But they...won't they just bypass the camp, Siege our escape party to the east?"

Alice, who followed the death knight and looked at the lord, suddenly changed her expression.

Clement also staggered visibly.

The two warriors suddenly felt that they could hear the sound of galloping horseshoes outside the territory.

"Quick!" Xia Houyan patted Clement's huge metal shoulder armor, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up to Master Laurie and Mayor Joel, it's dangerous!"

……

East of Fenghuang Terrace, 1000 meters.

Ander Spencer, the chief mage of Rock Creek City, with a straw in his mouth, unnecessarily built an arbor under the night, looking up to the west.

The crimson fire burned through half the sky.

"Master Spencer, it seems that we don't even need to take action. Lord Garcia and the others alone can take care of this camp!" A junior mage borrowed from the Rock Creek City mage group stood beside him excitedly laughed.

"No." Spencer spat the dry grass in his mouth on the ground, slowly shook his head and said, "Wind, no."

wind?The junior mage raised his head stupidly, but the violent east wind blowing from behind turned his well-organized and exquisite hairstyle into a messy bird's nest.

"Stand up and get ready to work!" Spencer turned around, clapped his hands at the mages and knights who were sitting on the ground making jokes, and shouted sharply, "It just so happens that we are coming to the Land of Cracking Souls, then we have to make a big deal." Let's play!"
