Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 315
Unfortunately, the second counterattack plan planned by General Gullit Gale went bankrupt with little effort.

Just as the wolf cavalry quickly assembled and galloped northward out of the valley, the craftsmen of the "Hammer of Purgatory" also received instructions and rushed to the "Flesh and Blood" chariot parked in the South Camp.

According to the less politically correct statement, although the green skins of the orc clan are brave and good at fighting, their brains...

...not very bright overall.

Therefore, most of the craftsmen and siege weapon craftsmen of the "Hammer of Purgatory" division are foreign soldiers recruited by the Federation:

In addition to goblins, it also includes trolls, dwarves, and sub-orcs.

Compared with the orthodox Eight Banners orc soldiers of the Red Heart Zhao tribe, the fighting will of this group of foreign aid is obviously much worse.

While the orc soldiers were ordered to withdraw westward in an orderly manner, many foreign soldiers in the "Hammer of Purgatory" division were frightened by the incendiary air strikes and the ghost wash, and scattered like crazy. Running away, the messengers of General Gale couldn't find where the goblin in charge of the craftsman team went;
Fortunately, there has never been a lack of mainstays in the "Hammer of Purgatory" army to turn the tide.

The orc military police in the division swung their sabers, mercilessly beheaded five goblins, and stabbed a panicked troll weaponsmith to the heart, finally stopped the unrighteous path of this group of foreign soldiers fleeing and collapsing. wind;
Then, the shaman who presided over the overall situation hurriedly sang the "Song of Eisenberg's Tranquility", and the bowl-sized ice-blue halo of calm fell down, finally calming down the group of foreign scum who hadn't fought yet.

Immediately afterwards, the craftsmen of the "Hammer of Purgatory" with their crotches wet, rushed to the South Camp under the urging of the orc gendarme, and one by one uncovered the oilcloth covering the "Blaze of Blood" chariot, ready to assemble it on the spot up.

In order to be able to transport these heavy weapons across the dusty mountains, each "Flesh and Blood Disaster" was dismantled into three parts before the army set off: the rear of the vehicle using fuel to provide kinetic energy, the middle of the vehicle with fuel cannons, And the front end of the car body, which is harvested at close range by a meat grinder chainsaw.

In the face of today's counterattack needs, the decision of the federal craftsmen is very clear:
Ignoring the front end of the car body with melee function, first assemble the rear two parts and establish the basic artillery shooting ability!

——After all, who is a serious person who engages in the front end!

As we all know, a theorem of product development is that the more complex the function, the more cumbersome it is to assemble this thing together.

Similarly, the "Flesh and Flesh" chariot is powerful in battle, but after being disassembled into several parts, it is also a trouble to reassemble it with the naked eye - not to mention that most of the goblin engineers in "Hammer of Purgatory" are only about [-] feet tall. To the waist of a normal human being, it is as small as a sesame seed in front of the huge "Flesh and Flesh" chariot!

As a result, the goblin engineers could only stand on the ground with their hips akimbo, gesticulating with their unique sharp voices, but it was the trolls, Asians who were actually copying the wrench and the hammer, lying on the "Flesh and Blood" chariot and assembling it silently. orc artisan;

As for the orc gendarmes who were in charge of supervising the progress of the assembly of the siege weapons, they could only watch this scene with beards and stares: they didn't know anything about technology, so they couldn't intervene at all right now.

At the same time that the tank storage point of the South Day Camp was busy, the "Cromwell Annihilator" incendiary bombing in Shuangfengling did not stop for a moment:
Almost every 30 to [-] seconds, a huge fireball would jump out of the peak of the West Mountain like the rising sun, then fall rapidly towards the orc camp, and finally explode into a bright and eye-catching fire cloud at the landing place.

Of course, hitting the gathering place of shaman priests before was pure luck in Frost Maple Ridge:
This valley is relatively open, and the personnel density of "Hammer of Purgatory" has not yet reached the exaggerated level of beating a roe deer with a ladle and scooping fish;

What's more, under the condition that it is completely impossible to observe the situation of the bullets, the "Cromwell Annihilator" ballista of Igor's pioneering army cannot be said to be purely blind shooting, but it is basically a luck-based shooting method;
——So, in fact, most of the incendiary bombs thrown over the hills of Shuangfengling landed on open spaces where no one passed by, or on tents where people had already evacuated, and they were fireworks in vain;

As for the few incendiary bombs that hit the target accurately, the effect is quite explosive: all the orc soldiers who were engulfed by the flames of the explosion basically had no bones left after the fire cloud dissipated, and even those who were overturned by the shock wave of the explosion Orcs, at least have to break a few ribs, lie on the ground and can't get up again.

At this time, every orc soldier should thank the division commander for his wise decision:
As long as the "Hammer of Purgatory" forces retreat into the shadow of the western mountains, the hit rate of the incendiary bombs in Frost Maple Ridge will plummet. If the soldiers withdraw quickly enough, there will be more and more fuel bombs , can only indiscriminately bombard the empty space;
However, what puzzled the orc officers of the "Hammer of Purgatory" was that as the soldiers retreated westward, the impact points of the incendiary bombs thrown from the west of the mountain were also moving westward obviously, and the frequency gradually slowed down. Come down - it's as if the enemy on the opposite side knows the trajectory of the "Hammer of Purgatory" and is trying to save ammunition.

Could it be that the enemy army on the other side of the mountain has clairvoyance, and can see the situation in the valley here across a mountain? !

But when the orc sentry with outstanding eyesight looked at the surrounding hills, where could he see the shadow of an enemy sentry?

Putting aside the confusion in the minds of the orc officers, the siege weapon assembly work at the "Hammer of Purgatory" South Camp has gradually seen the light of day:
Under the strict supervision of the shaman and the gendarmerie, the foreign craftsmen finally assembled the first "Blaze of Flesh" chariot tremblingly - "Hammer of Purgatory" brought a total of twelve "Blade of Flesh" "It is a big project to assemble all the parts, and it will definitely not be completed in a while.

Before the siegesmiths of Infernal Hammer could even turn the castrated version of the Bane of Flesh to the west, however, a downright tragedy struck:

Just as the troll craftsman straightened up from the "Blaze of Flesh" chariot, raising his arms and shouting, "Make 'Hammer of Purgatory' great again", he suddenly saw that the entire land under the chariot was reflected It turned fiery red, while the surrounding orc gendarmes and shamans stared at the sky with dull and shiny cheeks——

——Then, an extremely violent explosion completely engulfed the only "flesh and blood disaster" that could be put into use.

This tragic situation partially explains how important it is to find the enemy in modern naval warfare:
The over-the-horizon aircraft carrier battle is a death race that will "strike first to be the strongest" to the end. The first party to discover the enemy's trace and start bombing will always be able to kill the opposite Nagumo Tadaichi within 5 minutes of fate. On the deck of the carrier-based aircraft;
And this bombing battle across the mountain has something in common with the beyond-visual-range naval battle: under the first bombing offensive at Shuangfengling, no matter how elite the "Hammer of Purgatory" is, if they want to prepare a counterattack in a hurry, I'm afraid it's nothing more than an idiot's dream...

Sometimes, the cruelty of war is a true portrayal of the unevenness of the world;
Because while flying around in the "Hammer of Purgatory" camp, the side of the Igor Pioneering Army across the mountain...

Basically busy bragging.

"Everyone, this is the latest scientific and technological achievement of our Frost Maple Ridge 'Manhattan Laboratory'!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​proudly introduced while patting his chest, "I assure you that we will rule the battlefield of Haven Continent in the future." Yes, it must be the official incendiary bomb produced by our Frost Maple Ridge!"

Several military observers sent by the Imperial Southern Army looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, Captain Cousins's outfit is also a bit unusual:

At the behest of the lord, the knight commander of Shuangfengling put on a military cap to cover his shiny bald head, then put on a pair of oversized sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and put a large Pipe, the image of the whole person looks very West Point Military Academy, so cold that he can run from the Philippines more than a dozen times in a row.

Although in the background behind Cousins, the four "Cromwell Annihilators" of the Pioneering Army's advance team were frantically throwing incendiary bombs at the other side of the mountain, but the Frost Maple Ridge Knight Commander seemed to be indifferent at all. don't care about the situation;

On the contrary, Ya is tirelessly selling arms to Confederate allies.

"This! It's named 'Flame Sandwich Candy' by the respected lord!" Cavalier Cousins ​​waved his hand, and took a durian-sized piece from the craftsman who was about to reload the "Cromwell Annihilator". The black cannonball, "this kind of incendiary bomb is also infused with the vine fuel oil that is our specialty in the land of the cracked soul, but it is also specially mixed with the extremely viscous 'Esso maple syrup made by the Enzie troll. '! After this kind of incendiary bomb explodes, the burning sugar will scatter in all directions, forming a burning zone with strong adhesion!"

Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​tossed the "Blazing Candy" casually, and the frightened observers of the Southern Army rushed to pick it up, for fear that it would be wiped out by accident.

Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​took out an extra-large incendiary bomb from the ammunition box next to him: the huge yellow exclamation mark spray paint on the bomb body made the hearts of the Southern Army observers tremble.

"This!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​introduced triumphantly with a pipe in his mouth. "It's the latest model produced by our 'Manhattan Laboratory' three days before the war! It's called 'Big Ivan'!"

——Speaking of which, Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​took off his pipe, hugged the Molotov cocktail in his arms and kissed him hard, his cherishment was beyond words.

A Confederate observer weakly raised his hand:
"That... respected Lord Lily Knight, you have already shown us the 'A1' flash bomb, the 'Fukushima' high-pollution gas bomb and the 'flame candy'-shaped attached incendiary bomb... then this kind of What are the characteristics of the 'Big Ivan' incendiary bomb?"

"It's big." Cavaliers Cousins ​​said succinctly.

The military observers of the friendly forces in the south are still in a state of aphasia, and Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​has already said with a smile:
"How is it? Dear colleagues in the Southern Army, are you interested in purchasing a batch of special incendiary bombs produced by us in Shuangfengling! Sign up to buy now, and there are wartime discounts!"

——Speaking of which, Knight Commander Cousins ​​took out a "-25%" price reduction card with yellow letters on a green background out of nowhere, and slapped it on the ammunition box.

In fact, the Southern Army observers wanted to refuse.

But for some reason, the rectangular "-25%" price reduction mark on the ammunition box seems to have some kind of mysterious attraction...

……

Not far away, the center of the pioneering team's position.

Sitting in the wheelchair, the lord lord, who was shaking the feather fan lightly, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then he still closed his eyes, and said lightly:
"Move the firing point one hundred yards further west."

The soldiers of the Pioneer Army who had been prepared for a long time immediately gave an "order" and ran to deliver the lord's order to the "Cromwell Annihilator".

Karen Lepage, who was dressed in a leather jacket, folded her arms, frowned, and stared at the lord intently.

Undoubtedly, Xia Hou's high-ranking official relied on closing his eyes and resting his mind to direct the siege weapons to shoot, which made this half-human-devil hybrid lady who came out of a serious course full of urges to beat people.

But of course Karen couldn't think of it. In fact, the command of the lord is completely correct——

After all, there is a wasteland ball king, who is now floating above the "Hammer of Purgatory" camp, using a spiritual connection to convey the battle situation to the lord in real time...

——If it were changed elsewhere, a wraith ball with such strong fluctuations in magic power would definitely be spotted by the orc shamans with extremely sensitive elemental senses, but in the land of cracking souls, as long as Messi didn't want to, no one would be able to find it This cameo stealth reconnaissance satellite!

"Hey!" Karen stared at the lord who was shaking the feather fan for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and yelled loudly.

The official Xiahou still didn't open his eyes, but opened his mouth, and chanted in an ancient Aeolian language:
"Who is the first to wake up to a big dream? I know it all my life. The spring in the cottage is full of sleep, and the sun is getting late outside the window..."

A small foot kicked hard on the lord's wheelchair, almost kicking the severe cosplay patient to the ground.

"I'm calling you!" Karen Lepage said angrily.

"Zhuo!" Xia Houyan threw off the feather fan and said angrily, "You dare to kick the master's chair! Miss Karen, do you still have the consciousness of being a zombie?!"

"A pervert who sleeps with a zombie is not qualified to call himself the master." Karen Lepage sneered again and again, "I remind you, respected 'Lord Duke of Frost Maple Ridge', if you don't prepare well, the hooves of the wolf cavalry will be destroyed." It's about to step on our faces—it's not the style of the Glorious Federation to blindly suffer and be beaten!"

Xiahou officials rolled their eyes repeatedly:
"Come on, Miss Karen, do I look like a military idiot to you?"

Karen stared at the lord with idiotic eyes, her expression full of irony.

"Go to the north and have a look!" Xia Houyan was eager to push the plague goddess aside, "Chief of Staff Sean Mountbatten is organizing the defense line according to my order! Miss Karen, please get to know me well, what is it?" The gold content of 'President Southern Military Affairs'!"

Karen gouged him out, and without looking back, she kicked on her leather boots and headed north.

Only then did Tom Lawrence sneak up close.

"Why?" Xia Houyan squinted at the director of his political department.

"My lord, I'm just a little curious..." Lawrence sneered, "Who is that...'Chi Chi'...?"

Five seconds later, Knight Commander Cousins, who was busy selling arms, heard the loud sound of boots kicking his ass from behind.
