Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 133 When to Bind Canglong
Although the members of the military team were enthusiastic, it was still impossible for Xia Houyan to let everyone follow Messi to hunt the dragon.

Firstly, after all, there is still a need to keep a defensive force in the Phoenix Terrace camp, and secondly, once ordinary soldiers with limited strength are mixed into the high-end battles between wraiths and giant dragons, their chances of survival are really limited—especially when they die. At the moment when the spirit magic quota was stuck by Lord Yan, Xia Houyan extremely did not want to see additional casualties.

In fact, the meaning of the lord is basically to bring a few experts who are enough to protect themselves to watch the battle, wait until Messi is about to kill the dragon, and then throw a few stones to make up the knife and help these honor madmen to "slaughter" "Dragon" is the name of the game.

If he didn't want to grasp the battle situation in real time, use the deterrence of necromantic magic to prevent Messi from rebellious, and think about the life pursuit of his subordinates, in fact, he would like to stay away from this dangerous "dragon hunting operation".

Because of this, Xia Houyan quickly selected several candidates to participate in dragon slaying and exploration:
Master Lowry, Clement, Alice.

These three people can be regarded as the top combat power of Shuangfengling, covering the output ability of magic and physics; they are not only enough to protect themselves in the battle scene of the strong, even if they shoot the dragon and help Messi at the critical moment impossible.

In addition, he also selected several senior guards including Chris Mann: With their mortal bodies, it is not realistic to fight the dragon personally, but they can still play a big role:

Just now, Shuangfengling has sent people to receive the ballista sent by the old iron of Rock Creek City, and this kind of heavy siege equipment happens to launch the polished "Babylon dense steel needle" to deal with large magical creatures. The best choice!

Xia Houyan felt that when the time comes, let a few elite guards drive the ballista to a safer position and give the dragon a "needle" at a critical moment, it will definitely have a good sneak attack effect.

As for the remaining Shuangfengling militiamen, they must have missed this legendary "dragon hunting operation": a dragon is a dragon after all, there are no real diamonds, and it is best to stay away from this porcelain as well.

After the lord loudly announced the final decision on the candidate, all the people present at Shuangfengling naturally lamented, and some were happy. It was a picture of all beings intertwined with sorrow and joy.

But Xia Houyan only felt that they were noisy.

Because his own house collapsed.

This also meant that for quite a long time, he, his sister Katerina, and the little maid, Anjie, would have to live again in a dilapidated tent that was not sheltered from wind and rain.

Sometimes people's psychology is so strange: it's nothing to live in tents all the time. Once you experience the feeling of living in a mansion, you will always feel a huge sense of loss when you live in a tent again.

On this point, the calm-minded Katerina is much more open-minded:

"Okay, Elliott, this time there were no casualties. It's a blessing in misfortune. What if a house collapses? My sister believes in you, and I will definitely build more on our territory in the future." Better house!"

"Sister, you don't trust me, you trust Master Donald." The official Xia Hou was still depressed.

Speaking of Mr. Donald, he couldn't help squinting, and found that the senior architect couldn't wait to pick up tools to repair the Green Dam, looking anxious and angry like a parent who was carrying an injured child to the emergency room.

And another thing that happened immediately after that finally lifted his spirits up a bit:

Several militiamen drove the horses and dragged the two imperial ballistas that the lord was thinking about back to the Phoenix Terrace.

Although a Wanguo brand bed crossbow on the roof was lost, two standard crossbows with Zhengmiaohong roots were seized. From the level of siege weapon reserves, Shuangfengling still made a profit.

Xia Houyan limped to the ballista, and after a while of pretending to knock, he finally dispelled the haze in his heart, and his heart was full of joy for a while:

Because these two ballistas are awesome!
These two imperial-style bed ballistas, with the "Roar Seven" logo engraved on the wall, are undoubtedly the crystallization of the long-developed imperial siege weapon manufacturing industry: their most outstanding feature is that they fire ammunition Its ejection power does not completely depend on the elastic material, and it also has the magic blessing of the wind-type rune circle!
Unlike the "Cromwell Annihilator" crossbow that only has the auxiliary effect of increasing the range, and can use rune metal parts even if the mana is exhausted, the entire design of the "Roar Seven" is built around wind magic - A piece of magic metal engraved with a large wind array is deeply embedded in the center of the ballista, acting as the real heart of this siege monster: not only can it shoot projectiles hundreds of times accurately Meters away, it can even drive the ballista so that it can move slowly without animal traction.

Compared with the sniping effect of the fixed bed crossbow "Cromwell Annihilator", although the "Roar Seven" is slightly inferior in absolute range, its mobility and versatility are undeniably appreciated : Due to relying on flexible wind magic power to fire, these ballistas have no special requirements for ammunition:
From crossbow arrows to stone bombs, from "Molotov rockets" to "Babylonian dense steel needles", from a basket of dung to nuclear explosive devices, as long as it is a projectile you can think of and the size is not particularly out of the ordinary, you can use it. These two ballistas were launched accurately after simple adjustments—this is undoubtedly great news for Shuangfengling, whose industrial system is not formed and cannot achieve standardization of armaments.

In addition, the standard incendiary bombs loaded on the ballista, which were intended to be used against the Phoenix Terrace, were directly collected by the unscrupulous Shuangfengling.

To be honest, Xia Houyan was really moved by the devotion and dedication of the Duke of Houston.

What is the spirit of internationalism?

This is called the spirit of internationalism!
At the same time, he was also surprised to find that there were unexpected gains in this wave!
A few Shuangfengling militiamen who rushed to receive the ballista in high spirits, after a while in the car, threw a few "Pride of the South" knights out of the car——

——These knights were all stunned and injured in the first round of the "Molotov rocket", and then left behind by Garcia, the deputy knight commander who led the charge: they didn't wait for their colleagues to win the victory, But he was tied up as a prisoner by the Shuangfengling militiamen and "received" back with the ballista.

Excluding those who were killed by a single blow from the explosion of the rocket, and those who died from their injuries, there are still six disgraced soldiers from Rock Creek City who escaped with their lives tied up as zongzi and leaned against the wall of the bed crossbow, waiting. Under the interrogation of the lord.

Tom Lawrence stretched out his hand from the side with considerable insight, and handed a familiar crowbar to Mr. Xiahou.

"I fished this out from the ruins of the Horned Eagle Manor just now..." Lawrence said cautiously, "It's just covered with soot, so it should be still usable."

Xia Houyan looked down at Crowbar Sang, who survived the catastrophe, and felt that his eyes were extremely moist.
