Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 155 After the flames
When Xia Houyan rushed to the scene with Master Laurie and others, the scene was once very tragic.

Originally, the ambush location of the two "Roaring Seven" ballistas was chosen on a small hillside that was a certain distance away from Stardew Valley, where the bushes were overgrown and easy to hide;

But at this moment, all that appeared in front of everyone in Shuangfengling was a piece of pitch-black scorched earth emitting wisps of green smoke.

Almost as soon as he approached the edge of the scorched earth, Xiahou official felt a wave of heat rushing toward his face: based on the residual heat on the ground, he preliminarily judged that the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture must have been used a few minutes ago. The fire of purgatory that consumed all, and shaved this head—

——Obviously, this big roast chicken in a rage had no intention of letting go of the enemy who shot that giant steel needle, and directly chose to attack this area indiscriminately.

The only thing that makes the lord feel a little lucky is that there is no trace of the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture nearby, presumably he has fled away after carrying out the carpet bombing to vent his anger.

If the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture hadn't disappeared from sight, Xia Houyan would never have dared to show his head from the Shadow Realm so hastily.

Under the cover of Master Laurie and Wilson's magic, Shuangfengling's group ignored the high temperature on the surface, stepped onto the scorched earth, and began to march towards the ambush site of Chris and others.

"My God..." Alice Comstock guarded Xia Houyan with her sword, and bit her lips while watching the purgatory on earth beside her. "Such a large-scale flame, Ke...Chris and the others..."

Xia Houyan didn't speak, but continued to move forward with a gloomy expression.

The heavy atmosphere was like a dark cloud, shrouding the group of people who had just escaped from Stardew Valley.

Although no one opened their mouths to break out their conjectures, the sight in front of them was enough to make them think of the worst possibility:
Under the fire of hatred from the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, as ordinary fighters and craftsmen, Chris and Master Kobe, who had no magic resistance, could escape such a large-scale flame bombardment?

Even, after being burned by the fire, they probably would not leave a corpse that could be resurrected.

But everyone present just continued to walk forward without saying a word.

Even if the improvised shooting team has been buried in the fire, even if they may not even have a whole body left, Frost Maple Ridge must find them:

If it weren't for the "Babylon dense steel needle" that arrived in time to win the time, Messi's action of mending the gap in time and space would only fall short, and today, it will also be recorded in the history of Haven, and become the beginning of a terrifying alien invasion. The beginning of disaster.

From this point of view, even if Chris and others died, they died for Frost Maple Ridge and every intelligent race in Haven Continent—the Babylonian dense steel needles they shot at the risk of exposing their positions penetrated It wiped out the complicated smoke and clouds of history, and put the fate of this continent, which had gone astray, back on track.

Therefore, Frost Maple Ridge must find them——

——Even if not many people know that at this moment in a corner of the mainland, in the area around Stardew Valley in the Land of Cracking Souls, such a thrilling and dangerous incident once happened.

Xia Houyan led the crowd to the top of the hill, and the back slope of the mountain came into view.

The back slope of the mountain, which was also included in the attack range of the Red Flame Demon Vulture's purgatory fire, was of course also a piece of scorched black exuding the smell of ashes, but the first thing Xia Houyan noticed were two extraordinarily large clumps on the hillside:
Even though the flames had completely destroyed their shapes, even though the smoke had scorched them black, everyone in Shuangfengling could tell at a glance that these were clearly the two "Roaring Seventh Style" vehicles that had just been seized from Rock Creek City. "Ballista!
Even the few Babylonian fine-grained steel needles carried with the car were buried in the scorched earth, and their parts exposed to the air were shining brightly under the sunlight, making them particularly conspicuous.

Obviously, after the bed crossbow on the roof of the Horned Eagle Manor, the lord just got the high-end imperial ordnance that was not warmed up in his hand, and just shot a steel needle, and was caught by the red flame that followed the ballistic The Vulture was scrapped.

Of course, everyone present didn't feel sorry for strategic weapons at the moment.

Master Laurie staggered a few steps on the top of the mountain, looking down at the wreckage of the Lion's Roar Type [-] ballista, his face pale.

On the wasteland comparable to the Hiroshima bombing site, even the sturdy imperial ballista has been burned to black charcoal, and the Frost Maple Ridge shooting team around the ballista, of course, will not have any reason to survive .

The Wraith Messi, who seemed thinner and shrunk a lot, floated unsteadily to the side of the lord, hesitating to speak.

"I remember, you promised me..." Xia Houyan smiled miserably at Messi, "...this dragon hunting operation will not harm the lives of the people of Shuangfengling, right?"

Messi opened his mouth, but in the end just shook in frustration and said nothing.

Xia Houyan let out a long sigh.

Although he was sad and indignant in his heart, he also understood that the situation at this time could not be blamed on Messi anyway: in the previous battle, this wasteland wraith could be said to have done his best. In order to protect Shuangfengling and Haven Continent, it Even at the expense of his own injury, he tried his best to close the space-time rift accidentally opened by the dragon language summoning technique;

What's more, there are too many coincidences and accidents in the whole matter of the summoning spell of the frost dragon, the pollution of the space-time channel by the plane beacon, and the appearance of the red flame vulture, even as Messi It is impossible for such a strong person to make plans for all absurd emergencies.

So far, it can only be said that this dragon hunting operation was originally an adventurous act of betting on the future with youth, and the shooting team formed by Chris and others participated completely voluntarily-their sacrifices can also be regarded as for the development of the territory and the development of Haiwen. Contributed to the security of the mainland.

Xia Houyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, turned to Weierfu and the others who were about to cry, and said loudly:
"Now, we are engaged in great territory construction, to test whether we or any of the people of Frost Maple Ridge can survive in the wasteland for a long time. Now, we gather in this dragon hunting operation, the place where the shooting team died , we have come here to dedicate part of this land as a final resting place for those martyrs who gave their precious lives so that the territory could survive. The world will not notice, nor will Will remember what I said here, but they will never forget the actions of those heroes - who were: Chris Mann, Tom Lawrence..."

"My lord, don't curse me..." A voice said from behind the crowd.

When everyone in Shuangfengling turned their heads, they were dumbfounded, as if encountering a ghost.

Chris Mann smiled sheepishly and greeted them.

The first person present to react was the elf Welf.

While yelling in horror, "I saw the undead, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", she rushed towards the lord and hid behind the lord.

Clement stared at Welf for a long time, thinking that you girl has stayed in Shuangfeng Ridge for so long, are you still afraid of the undead?

"You you you you you..." Master Laurie pointed at Chris and said, "Why are you still alive, Chris?"

"Master, do you think it's good for me to die? After shooting the steel needle, I realized the danger and led the people to evacuate." Chris showed helplessness, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised fully demonstrated his respect for The pride of his decisive decision, "As the shooting team leader personally appointed by the lord, I have long been prepared to quickly transfer after the position is exposed-in order to escape in time, I saw that strange chicken taking off from a distance, and I may After seeing us as the target, our shooting team didn't even bother to bring the ballista, and ran behind the rock to hide!"

Following Chris' instructions, everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they found Master Kobe and others waving far away near a huge rock outside the scorched earth.

"So..." Master Laurie covered his forehead, "...so your shooting team wasn't burned by the flames at all?"

Although the cost of two ballistas was paid, the design team was able to avoid the loss of personnel in the Red Flame Demon Vulture's counterattack. This is already a very unbelievable record.

"That's not..." Chris shook his head, and said sadly, "In order to help the handicapped Master Kobe escape, Brother Lawrence... he was burned by the edge of the flame, and he probably won't survive..."
