Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 193 One-Man Battle

Sometimes war is like a tide, coming and going quickly.

Xia Houyan, who originally expected to witness a great battle, was shocked to see that after the first wave of contact, the troops of the two sides quickly obtained the results of the battle:

The tentative attack of the bandit coalition directly hit the extravagant equipment of Igor's pioneering army, and was instantly dispelled, even knocking down the morale of the bandit coalition.

Originally, in the face of the sprinting spears of the recruits in Shuangfengling, many bandits in the front row turned their heads and ran away. Supervising the battle team managed to keep the situation stable;
However, the unexpectedly powerful combat power of Igor's pioneering army completely overturned the psychological balance of the bandit army.

In a sense, this cannot be completely blamed on the low-level soldiers of the bandit coalition army:
They were all killed in the Soul Breaking Land, not to mention their combat effectiveness, but they still have the most basic psychological qualities;
But in this short day, they suffered too many blows!

First, their own headquarters was razed to the ground by an inexplicable big explosion, which took away the lives of the village owners, and then there was a loud noise from the north during the march, which made them faintly feel that the catapult could no longer be counted on... …

After finally advancing to the gate of the Phoenix Terrace, before he could attach the wall to the city, he was hit head-on by an ultimate iron can!

The thieves in the land of the cracked soul boasted that they had seen strong winds and waves;

But they have never seen a heavily armored warrior who can withstand a rain of arrows and fire attacks, kill dozens of bandits with a huge sword, and take away a siege tower!
And when the bandits tried their best to stop the Wushuang killing of the tin can, and even forced the other party to open the city gate, the bandits were not happy for a few seconds, but they were defeated by the weak Shuangfengling in their hearts. The armed forces rushed out of the city gate, and there was an incomparably fierce counterattack...

The collapse of every social animal is the accumulation of pressure from day to day;
The bandits' collective defense was also the result of a series of failures.

In the beginning, there were basically a few psychologically weak guys in the first few rows of the bandit formation. After seeing the tragic death of the friendly troops and the sturdy and powerful armor of the recruits from Shuangfengling, they finally restrained themselves. Overwhelmed by the fear of failure and death, he turns his head and runs away.

The supervisory team under Sirius stayed at the end of the team, and at first they managed to kill a few deserters;
But even with the existence of the supervising team, such a defeat is a lot like a ticket to escape during the Spring Festival:
Once there is the first one to break in, the people behind will follow. The law does not blame everyone.

As a result, the few unlucky ones who ran away first were like ripples in a pool of blood. The supervisory team forcibly suppressed the ups and downs, and in the end only won a huge wave for themselves.

And the last straw that broke the camel's back was the large-scale "fear technique" carefully prepared by Master Laurie.

In fact, at the very beginning, what the master prepared was a "disturbing curse" that can make the enemy mentally insane, so as to cooperate with our infantry to fight;
But seeing the changing situation and the collapse of the coalition forces, the master immediately changed his strategy. Relying on the superb skills of the junior magister, he changed the spell chanting to a more suitable "fear technique" that is more suitable for defeating the enemy's heart;
In the ear-piercing Aeolian ancient rune syllables, Victor Laurie's outstanding magic power turned into faint mental fluctuations, arousing every bandit soldier's panic that was already secretly surging Affection……

So, under the effect of the spell, the bandit's front row began to flee;

The bandits start to flee;

The bandit's tail begins to flee;

In the end, even the supervisor team, who was facing countless terrified faces, couldn't help turning around and running.

For a moment, the entire bandit's charge had changed from the rear to the front, and Sa Yazi ran wildly with his back facing the direction of the Phoenix Terrace.

At this time, instead, the bandits behind the other two siege towers, who did not follow the order to form a charge, still stuck to their positions by accident:

There was no other reason, he was busy putting out the fire, and was shooting passionately with the slingers on the wall.

After the enemy army broke up, the only person from Shuangfengling who was deflated was a certain lord.

Xia Houyan was originally full of confidence and wanted to use his necromantic spells to beat the enemy——

——Although the amount of high-level spells is severely limited by Lord Hades, his low-level magic can still have a range comparable to that of an archmage under the blessing of fellow earthlings;
Even standing on the rooftop of the Horned Eagle Manor far away from the battlefield, Xiahou officials still have the ability to use the skeleton summoning technique recorded in "Essence of Necromancy" to pull a large number of skeleton soldiers from the battlefield remotely!

It's a pity that ideals are full, and reality is very skinny.

First of all, the bandits were routed too quickly, and the pioneer army's stormtroopers hadn't had time to expand their victories at all;

Therefore, the corpses left by the bandit coalition army in the same place... er... "Materials for casting spells" are really not enough;
Secondly, when Xia Houyan pulled up a limited number of skeleton soldiers, the bandits would have already run away...

The result is that the skeleton army created by the lord has no chance to hit people at all, so they can only follow the pioneering army's assault team to chase down the remnants of the enemy, and join the collapsed bandit coalition forces to participate in this extremely ridiculous long-distance race in the land of the soul ...

Sirius on horseback finally couldn't sit still.

He jumped off his horse and sent out the thin sword in his hand, piercing the necks of three deserters like lightning;
However, the wave of disintegration of the coalition forces did not change at all because of the commander's efforts;
At this moment, Sirius and the three fallen corpses beside him were like a reef in the middle of a great river, and could only watch as countless routs passed by him, and the castration continued;
Among the hundreds of thousands of deserters, the leather armored swordsman holding a rapier, standing still and looking around silently, was as lonely as a shakuhachi in a snowy night.

But Sirius's first hesitation only lasted half a second.

He trembled slightly, then his eyes became sharp again, and he shouted angrily:

"Don't run! Don't run!"

The leather armored swordsman roared, stepped on the corpse and drew out his rapier, cut down two more deserters, then took two steps forward, and passed the sword edge to an oncoming deserter without hesitation—

—and stopped in mid-air.

The tip of the rapier pierced a coquettish bead of blood at the deserter's throat.

Sweat, tears, blood and dust were intertwined on his face, and the bandit deserter who stopped under the threat of the sword tip raised his eyes tremblingly, moving his gaze up the blade of the rapier, and finally stopped at the leather armored swordsman who was also covered in dust face.

The desperate deserter and the warlord standing proudly with a sword looked at each other quietly.

Beside them, the mighty defeated army surged away, pushing and shoving away.

Perhaps even Sirius himself couldn't explain why the sword was not sent to the end;
But after staring at Lord Overseer's face for two seconds, the deserter finally swallowed his saliva, turned his head to avoid the edge of the rapier, passed Sirius' side, and continued to flee for his life with the large army.

The movement of Sirius pointing forward with the sword was still in the air for a moment. It was not until the escaped soldier who escaped the disaster was completely submerged in the crowd that he finally sighed slightly and retracted the sword.

Then, the leather armored warrior wiped the smoke from his face with his sleeve, and walked slowly towards the gate of the platform.

Among the countless defeated troops on the entire battlefield, there was only one rebel.

On the way, Sirius ignored the terrified gazes of all the deserters around him. After wiping his face clean, he reached out and untied the belt of the leather armor, and then threw his protective gear one by one on the loess of the Land of Souls:

Shoulders, breastplates, leggings, armguards...

As if completing a most elegant ceremony.

In the end, Sirius walked towards Shuangfeng Ridge alone, wearing only a commoner coat and a thin sword on his waist.

The defeated army has long been left behind by him, and the pioneer soldiers he met on the road were either knocked down or bypassed by him. On the wilderness filled with yellow sand, against the backdrop of the scorching fire, his long and narrow shadow was cast on the ground , twisted and trembling.

In the north, there was another noise - it was the Frost Maple Ridge cavalry who had just killed the catapult, had rushed back to the Phoenix Terrace, and was launching a fierce attack on the bandit remnant army that had not yet dispersed with the cooperation of the catapult. Beat the dog in the water heartily.

But Sirius didn't care about that anymore.

The warrior of Rock Creek City just took firm steps, and walked towards the platform bit by bit, watching the wooden fortifications he was unable to conquer, gradually rising and expanding in his vision.

He saw the catapult soldiers in full gear on the wall, and saw the remains of the siege tower that had turned into black charcoal.

He also saw that the rescue team sent by Shuangfengling had put out the fire on the black armored soldier and brought him back to the camp on a stretcher.

Sirius saw the Phoenix Terrace, and the Phoenix Terrace also saw Sirius.

Thinking that the enemy fled too fast, the slingers of the Pioneer Army, who hadn't fired just now, received the supplementary stone bullets from the leader in charge of logistics, and immediately threw up their slings to prepare for this lone person to come forward without fear. The dead guy came to take one, but Chris Mann, who was in charge of directing the defense on the wall, raised his hand to stop it.

"Wait." Chris squinted at Sirius who was walking slowly with his hands slightly raised, "He seems to have something to say."

Having said that, Chris still picked up the longbow himself and put an arrow on the string:
Once this strange swordsman in civilian clothes made a slight change, then the deputy commander of the pioneering army, Chris Mann, would not mind taking care of this person himself.

As a result, the countless Frost Maple Ridge pitchers on the top of the Green Dam wall stared at Sirius as he slowly approached, ready to go and staring at him.

Sirius walked to a position more than 20 meters outside the east gate of Phoenix Terrace before stopping, and shouted loudly:
"My name is Sirius, and I am the supreme commander of the coalition forces!"

"What do you want to say!" Chris stepped on the wall with one foot, drew his bow and aimed at Sirius, and replied loudly, "Are you here to surrender?"

Sirius raised his head, stared at Chris's face for a while, then shook his head and shouted:

"You are not the person in charge of Frost Maple Ridge! I want to talk to your lord directly!"

Chris Mann was stunned for a moment.

This shrewd and capable former guard of Eagle's Rest Castle, who is good at archery, is indeed a good warrior, but when faced with these matters related to diplomacy and etiquette, he really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He hesitated for a while, then tentatively called out:
"You...I am Chris Mann, the deputy commander of Igor's pioneering army. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, and I will pass it on to the lord!"

But Sirius just shook his head persistently:
"No, I want to talk to your lord directly!"

Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Chris was still hesitating, and a voice behind him shouted:
"Here I am! Say it!"

Chris Mann and the Frost Maple Ridge pitchers on the wall looked back suddenly, and saw that the lord had folded his arms, walking in the air like a fairy, floating all the way from the roof of the Horned Eagle Manor;
Of course, Wilson, who was trotting along the ground, blushing and trying to lift the high official Xiahou, was completely ignored by everyone.

Senior officials Xiahou flew all the way to the top of the green dam wall, waved casually to Chris who bowed his head, and then leaned on the wall to look down.

Sirius looked up at the overly young face with a complicated expression.

"I am the patriarch of the Igor family, Elliot Igor, the lord of Frost Maple Ridge!" Xia Houyan called out indifferently, "Do you have anything to say, can you tell me?"

Sirius stared at his opponent, closed his eyes slightly, and said:
"This time, I lost."

On the top of the green dam wall, Xia Houyan turned his head to look at Chris, and mumbled in a low voice:
"Damn, why is this idiot talking nonsense?"

Chris rolled his eyes.

However, Sirius' next sentence made Xia Houyan even more baffled.

"However, 'we' haven't lost yet!" The swordsman shouted.

"How long have your symptoms lasted?!" Xia Houyan asked with concern.

Sirius laughed at himself, shook his head slowly, adjusted his expression, and solemnly shouted:

"Lord Lord of Shuangfengling, as a general of a defeated army, I am unable to do my duty for my benefactor, and I have no face to live in the world..."

"Does your so-called 'benefactor' refer to the Grand Duke of Houston?" Xia Houyan smiled and said, "I don't think you are a bandit, you should be sent by Rock Creek City to the Land of Soul Breaker? This bandit Alliance, is it your handwriting?"

"Do you even know this?" Sirius was a little surprised at first, but then shook his head in relief, and replied, "It's the Grand Duke's strategy. How can I come up with such an ingenious plan?"

Xia Houyan and the people from Shuangfengling on the wall snorted together:
This hastily formed coalition of bandits was so defeated, you actually have the nerve to say "exquisite"...

Is "shameless" a local characteristic of your Rock Creek City?
"The Grand Duke's plan is really subtle!" Xia Houyan said loudly, "I admire your Grand Duke Houston's spirit of internationalism the most in my life!"

As if he didn't understand the irony in Lord Lord's words, Sirius sighed and shook his head:
"But in short, I have already lost, but I don't want to kill myself with a sword like a coward, and I don't want to leave Soul Breaker as a defeated soldier...Mr. Lord of Frost Maple Ridge, I, Sirius, ask you Give me an honorable death! Send your best samurai to fight with me, and the outcome will be determined, as well as life and death!"

"Damn, this guy isn't playing tricks, is he?" Chris smacked his lips.

"Damn, a loser, how dare you want this or that?" Xia Houyan scolded, "Damn, shoot him to death!"
