Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 188 The silver saddle illuminates the white horse

With the personal support of the lord, Lina Leslie, an outstanding graduate of the Academy of Magicians in Xuecheng, an intermediate magician of the fire department, Lena Leslie tremblingly rode on the best war horse of the Phoenix Terrace.

Seeing the pale face of this little girl, everyone really wondered if she would faint on the horseback.

"Lena, don't be afraid, Captain Comstock will personally escort you this time!" Xia Houyan winked at the junior girl.

Not far away, Alice Comstock, who was wearing a thin silver armor, also stepped on a white horse, and slowly approached the horse with her sword.

Compared with the pampered magicians who were born in the Academy City, Alice Comstock, the former captain of the Knights of Eagle's Rest, with superb martial arts skills, is obviously much more skilled in riding—the Phoenix Terrace is full of patched iron bars Against the background of the fortifications, which were full of poverty and desolation, the female guard riding on the white horse with her head held high was completely different from the people here, and she was full of the heroic spirit only available to imperial knights.

Karen Lepergue stood aside with folded arms, sneering.

Youdao is a scene of three women, whether it is the captain of the female guard from Igor's direct line, or the fire mage who joined in the middle, obviously they have not caught the attention of this wasteland half-breed.

"Miss Leslie, your task is very simple..." Only Sean Mountbatten explained the task to Lena conscientiously, "You just need to get close to him under the cover of Captain Comstock and other cavalry Within 100 meters of the enemy's catapult, cast a fire spell to kill the big guy—leading the team and fighting, these are all in charge of Captain Comstock, you don't have to worry about it..."

To Mountbatten's slight embarrassment, Lena obviously didn't listen to him;
The little girl stared at the lord next to the horse with tears in her eyes.

"Senior, I won't die over there..." Lina wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"No... no..." Xia Houyan was extremely embarrassed, "There is someone protecting you, how could you die? Right, Xiao En, Lina can't die, right?"

"I can't die." Mountbatten replied dryly with a blank face.

"Send your own junior and junior sister to the front line, senior, you are so cruel..." Lina looked at the official Xiahou with teary eyes, as if she was looking at some peerless scumbag, "Teacher Husseini was right at the beginning, You really are a person who can accomplish great things..."

The lord only felt like a light was on his back.

"I want to play a lyric opera until the battle is over." Karen urged in a strange way, "If you read a few more lines, the opposite side will be hit by stone bullets!"

The urging of the female village head is still effective.

According to Sean Mountbatten's instructions, the Frost Maple Ridge new cavalry team, which has obviously improved in riding and confidence, has been lined up behind Alice and is ready to go;

Although she wanted to get bored with her senior for a while, Lina still had to pull up the rein tremblingly, ready to go into battle as the first magician cavalry in Frost Maple Ridge.

Before setting off, the mage girl turned her head and tremblingly said to the lord:

"Senior... When this battle is over, I will come back and marry you..."

Xia Houyan felt the hairs on his back stand on end:
For one thing, the FLAG concentration in this sentence was a bit too high, which made him deeply doubt whether the little junior sister would not be able to come back after this trip;

Secondly, he clearly felt that Alice cast a dangerous gaze from the horseback;
Three, get...married? !

Hey, hey, Miss Lena Leslie, we've only slept together occasionally, ad hoc, casually, how the hell are we getting married so fast forward? !

The scum of a certain lord's world watched in horror as the cavalry team drove out of the camp from the west, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already told Captain Comstock and the cavalry to protect Miss Leslie—it should be fine." Mountbatten obviously thought that his boss was worried about the safety of his younger sister, He gave a word of comfort.

Xia Houyan smiled dryly, patted Mountbatten's shoulder, and changed the subject very abruptly:
"Sean, if you can win this time, you have made the first contribution and deserve to be commended!"

Mountbatten bowed humbly to the lord, and replied:

"It is my greatest honor that you can trust me as a recruit, and all the glory belongs to you and your family."

"Glory to Shuangfengling, to the people of the Land of Cracked Souls." Xia Houyan raised the banner without batting an eyelid.

Mountbatten stared at the lord, stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth suddenly, bowed his head and said:

"My lord...if you really want to reward me...I have a request."

"Do you want to lead troops?" Xia Houyan smiled, "I can see that you are not the kind of person who will be content with the status quo, but what you need is not gold coins, but power... Do you want to be in the pioneering army, or territory?" Get a higher position here?"

To Xia Houyan's surprise, Mountbatten shook his head slowly:

"No... I'm just a recruit who just joined the Pioneering Army. If you promote me so quickly, neither the other recruits nor the people you brought from Eagle's Rest will be convinced."

"Oh?" Xia Houyan raised his eyebrows.

"As you can see, I am a graduate of the Staff Section of the Imperial Military Academy." Mountbatten said respectfully, "My request is that if you want to form a staff department in the future, I hope you can give it to me."

Xia Houyan laughed dumbfounded:
"Now we, Shuangfengling, are still working hard in the wasteland with bare buttocks. We don't even have a serious army. How come we are almost at the end... we are almost at the staff headquarters?"

"You said I'm the kind of person who won't be content with the status quo," Mountbatten grinned, "why aren't you?"

Xia Houyan's expression changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment.

"Actually, I heard about you from my subordinates a few days ago, and I also heard about the theory you preached among the recruits... To tell you the truth, Sean, if possible, I would like to bring my own people to the wasteland Live and work in peace and contentment, and live in harmony with the world..."

Mountbatten shook his head and smiled:

"How Frost Maple Ridge develops is of course completely up to you. But I have a sentence that I want you to hear."

"What are you talking about?" Xia Houyan stroked the neckline of his golden goshawk-patterned short robe.

"He who puts down his sword has no right to pick up a plow." Mountbatten said in a deep voice, "This is true in the wilderness, and so is the mainland."

Xia Houyan waved his hands and smiled, just as he was about to say more, he saw an extremely embarrassed recruit with dust all over his body stumbling into the camp.

"Alan! Alan Hotelling!" Mountbatten waved to the recruits.

Allen, who escaped the explosion and ran all the way back from the center of the bandit camp, hurried forward in three steps and two steps, bowed to the lord, swallowed, and said:
"Leader, my lord, I have done it! I have placed the bamboo tube!"

"Yes, you are also today's great hero!" Xia Houyan laughed, and patted him on the shoulder regardless of the dirt, as a sign of encouragement.

He suddenly felt that he was able to find so many talents in the wilderness of the land of cracking souls and take them for his own use. Could he be regarded as a foreign version of Liu Bang who knows people and is good at tasks?

——This guy who is a little bloated, didn't realize that the bags of aquamarine crystals in the treasure house of Dragon Bone Peak are undoubtedly more attractive to talents than him as a lord.

After being rewarded by the lord, Allen hurriedly saluted again.

"Speaking of..." Xia Houyan turned to Mountbatten, "Why do you insist on sending Alan to place the target?"

"First of all, Allen is a native of the wilderness. Whether it is physical fitness or adaptability, it is enough to help him lurk into the bandit camp-we really can't rest assured if it is someone else." Mountbatten smiled at Allen.

"Secondly?" Xia Houyan asked.

"Secondly, as far as I know, Alan Hotelling has a bloody feud with bandits." Mountbatten tilted his head, "This can guarantee that if he fails to sneak in and is unfortunately captured by bandits, he should be able to withstand the torture." Torture, keep more secrets to die."

The air nearby was instantly quiet.

"When the staff department is built, I'll send Alan to be your deputy." Xia Houyan nodded with a smile on his face.

……

Just as the lord was joking with the two recruits who made great contributions, the cavalry team led by Alice Comstock had already charged a certain distance towards the bandit trebuchet team in the distance.

The academic Sean Mountbatten, as a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy's staff department, has a lot of attainments in strategy and tactics, but after all, he has never been on the front line in person on the battlefield. Land, giving orders to the new cavalry in Frost Maple Ridge;

The leadership style of Alice Comstock is completely different:
The former captain of Eagle's Rest Castle, who practiced swordsmanship since childhood, even if he did not reach the superb state of unity of man and horse, it is not too much to say that he is proficient in riding. Looking at the heroic female swordsman, Shuang behind her The Fengling cavalry also seemed to have lost their fear, urging their horses to sprint again and again.

In the whole team, the most out of place is Lena Leslie:
The young female mage who was pampered and spoiled since she was a child, has never suffered such suffering in her life!

Now she was wearing a wind and sand veil around her head, and almost all her energy was used to firmly fix herself on the horse's back.

Alice, who rode her horse to the front, looked back at the situation of the team, hesitated for a moment, and then slowed down her horse speed alone, and fell behind slightly, leaning against Lina and galloping with her.

"Lena, are you okay?" Alice turned her head and asked loudly against the strong wind.

"I'm fine..." Lina's trembling voice became more blurred in the wind through the hood.

Since she had never ridden a horse before, her whole delicate body was constantly bumping on the horse's back, especially one of the parts that Alice had always longed for, and it was almost painful to the naked eye.

The female swordsman gave Lina a sympathetic look, and asked loudly:

"To destroy that catapult, how far does your fire spell need to go? How long does it take to sing?"

Lina hesitated for a moment, then answered with a loud voice:

"80 meters! 1 minute!"

——The limit range of a third-tier intermediate magician is just this far.

"Okay, 80 meters!" Alice said loudly, "After entering the range, you stay where you are and chant spells. I will leave 20 people to cover you, and I will take the rest to attack the other party's escort team as a distraction— —Please be sure to accurately guarantee the chanting time of 1 minute, so that we have time to retreat!"

Lina's voice was almost inaudible in the whistling wind, and Alice could only see a ball of scarf shaking up and down desperately, probably nodding in agreement.

The female swordsman screamed, leaving Lina behind and suddenly accelerated, returning to the front of the team and continuing to lead the charge.

Due to the need for the cover of the siege tower, the bandits' catapult team actually walked very slowly, and they haven't moved much until now;
But the seemingly incomparably far distance on the Phoenix Terrace, on the back of a galloping horse, is only fleeting.

Seeing the local troops zooming in rapidly in the field of vision, Alice suddenly pulled out the magic sword "Light of the Sky" from her waist, held it high, and then accelerated again with more than half of the cavalry in the front, leaving Lena Rice behind Leigh and her bodyguard rushed towards the bandit convoy.

The Shuangfengling cavalry saw the bandit, and of course the bandit also saw the Shuangfengling cavalry.

Almost at the same time that Alice led the team to speed up, the bandit guard composed of infantry organized their formation, raised their shields obliquely, and crossed the catapult to meet Alice and her party.

Using steps to ride has always been an eternal problem.

But when Sirius sent this catapult unit, he had already thought of the possibility of the enemy sending cavalry to harass.

Therefore, there are more than 300 infantry troops escorting the catapults, which is already costing a lot for the Bandit Allied Forces whose numbers have decreased drastically;

More importantly, they are also equipped with shields and spears specially used to deal with cavalry!

While they raised their shields to meet them, in the blink of an eye, sharp spears raised high from behind, pointing at the cavalry team led by Alice.

With this kind of policy against the enemy, although this group of bandit infantry could not avoid being trampled by the Frost Maple Ridge cavalry, the polearms in their hands were enough to knock down the leading knights;

What's more, the bandit infantry had seen that the opponent's number was very limited, at most no more than 50 people, and the bandits who had the advantage in numbers had every reason to exchange casualties for casualties!

It's a pity that the one who planned the tactics for this cavalry team was Sean Mountbatten who got full marks in the Imperial Military Academy and got soft hands;
And the leader of this cavalry is Alice Comstock, who is proud of the western border with martial arts and has attracted the attention of the "Brontosaurus"!

Seeing that the battle was about to start, the female knight rushing to the front shouted loudly and drew a circle above her head with her long sword in her hand. The cavalry behind her suddenly changed from one team to two, and separated left and right like a stream meeting a rock. The front finger pointed across the bandit's spear array obliquely, and circled to the flank without stopping.

Any fool knows that this is the Frost Maple Ridge cavalry preparing to avoid the frontal battle and turn to outflank it from the flanks!
As a result, the Bandit Spearmen on the left and right turned around quickly, preparing to deal with the offensive on the left and right—this is also the helplessness of the infantry facing the cavalry: in the case of far less mobility, they can almost only stay in place. Waiting for the impact, passive incomparable;
After all, the bandit coalition army is not a regular army, and there will inevitably be some confusion when changing formations;
It was in the chaos that they almost didn't see the female knight at the front of the Frost Maple Ridge Cavalry, but she didn't go around to the side with her men——

Alice Comstock, tightening the reins of her white war horse, rode one by one, and charged straight at the bandit in front of her!
And at the same moment when the magic sword "Light of the Sky" erupted into a dazzling halo, a number that no one could understand jumped out from between the red lips of the female swordsman:
"40 seconds!"
