Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 321: The First Step into the Wasteland of Chess

While the northern battlefield is in full swing, the Xiahou official who personally sits on the southern shooting front...

...felt boring.

No way, although the "Cromwell Annihilator" has a long range and excellent accuracy, the upper limit of the rate of fire is here.

Four "Cromwell Annihilators" have a limit rate of fire of one round per minute. Even if the four planes add up, they can only shoot a giant projectile over the hill every 15 seconds-if you add the bombardment craftsman's Unskilled, and some temporary adjustments and overhauls, the current stable bombing speed of this shooting front can only reach three rounds per minute.

In addition, the amount of ammunition prepared by the Manhattan Laboratory for this battle...

...It's really more than a billion points.

Just behind the four "Cromwell Annihilators", nearly a hundred round bombs lined up neatly, just like a military parade:
The front row is the "Flaming Candy" bomb currently being fired by the "Cromwell Annihilator" - after the first round of "Big Ivan" bombs are projected, the pioneers will replace them. This kind of viscous incendiary bomb that is filled with syrup and can spread in a wide range is trying to prevent the orc division from having a foothold in the Red River Valley.

The military observers sent by the Southern Army saw the hundreds of bombs dropped, and their hearts were trembling.

However, the four "Cromwell Annihilators" fired "whoosh-boom" and "whoosh-boom" for more than ten minutes, and the ammunition reserves still showed no signs of bottoming out. The adults are a little impatient:
It was not without reason that Xia Houyan decided to personally sit on the shooting front.

In the case of the pioneering army going to the north to defend against the enemy, only he, a one-time necromancer, can guarantee the absolute safety of the shooting line:
The enemy is the prestigious Federation Division, and no one can say for sure whether these invaders will use any other counterattack weapons other than the wolf cavalry unit in the north.

Before starting the war, Xia Houyan also asked Messi to teach him some inhumane high-level necromancer magic with a huge range of damage, just waiting for the orcs to show up, so that they could try their hands on these green skins.

As a result, wars raged in the north, but the shooting front in the south was still as quiet as the street where Commander Olga was assassinated.

The "Cromwell Annihilator" repeated the hollow sound of dropping bombs, and then there were muffled sounds of explosions in the valley opposite the mountain peak;
However, the orcs in the valley didn't seem to have any intention of fighting back, not to mention the elite orcs in the imagination, on the towering hills, not even a green leather head was exposed——

——This made the lord, who was already ready to show his talents, feel resentful that his pearls were dusted and his talents were not appreciated.

Most importantly, if the orcs have no idea about this shooting front, then the pressure of this battle will even be more inclined to the northern infantry defense line:
The [-] infantrymen at the mouth of the Red River Valley shouldered the heavy responsibility of stopping the wolf cavalry from charging. Although it was a narrow escape, the high official Xiahou sitting alone in the firing line was using his body as bait to catch a big fish?
For the shooting front and the necromantic magic that needs to be chanted, the only natural enemy is the extremely mobile wolf cavalry who come and go like the wind, and as long as the opponent wants to use infantry to advance over the mountain and pull out this shooting point, then Lord Lord With necromantic magic, you can teach this group of outsiders from the Federation, who is the name of the owner of the wasteland of the land of cracking souls!

But the orcs in the valley had no plans to attack the shooting line, and Xia Houyan couldn't find them out.

So I could only sit beside the four "Cromwell Annihilators" and listen to the screeching sound of incendiary bombs flying away, as if I were listening to a salute.

However, the observers of the Southern Army, who carefully accompanied the lord, breathed a sigh of relief:

Because judging from their tactical skills, after the [-] elite infantry and the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group" went north, this shooting line has completely entered an undefended state. If the orcs really dare to attack over the mountain...

Then I can only say with a shy face:
"Respected Lord Duke of Shuangfengling, dear allies of Shuangfengling, I, my next servant, let's take a step first..."

However, the observers of the Southern Army didn't relax for long, when they heard the Duke of Shuangfengling sitting in a wheelchair, shaking his feather fan, and said slowly:

"It's so boring... Come and play a game of chess with me!"

The Confederate observers looked at each other.

Three seconds later, an unlucky observer who had always been unpopular was pushed out by his colleagues.

The unlucky observer tremblingly sat on the opposite side of Lord Frost Maple Ridge's wheelchair, watching Chris Mann take two steps forward with trembling, and placed a demon chess board and a box of ivory carved chess pieces between them. On the middle Maza.

The unlucky observer turned back tremblingly, and cast a look of help to his colleagues;
The observers of the Southern Army whistled irrelevantly, looked at the sky after the snow and turned into meteorologists.

"Comrade Allies." Chris Mann asked the unlucky observer while holding the chess box, "Are you playing white or black?"

The unlucky observer trembled his lips and remained silent for a long time.

There was no other way: the military observers sent by Commander Paulus to watch the battle were usually just ordinary staff officers in the southern army. How could they have any experience of playing chess face to face with the dignified Duke of the Empire?
What's more, everyone is not in the magnificent entertainment room of the manor now, but in the bloody battlefield on the border of the land of broken souls. The background music of this chess game is not harps and bagpipes, but the continuous "Cromwell annihilation" "The sound of bombing!"

The unlucky observer of the Southern Army looked shyly at the chess box in front of him, his mentality almost collapsed:
Who the hell is playing chess in this kind of place again!

Both the north and the east are fucking fighting the dead!

Lord Duke, your fucking psychological quality is too fucking strong, right?
Chris Mann stared at the Southern Army observer who had been speechless for a long time, holding the chess box with an increasingly impatient expression;
On the contrary, the young duke on the opposite side of the chessboard seemed very tolerant.

Looking at the unlucky observer, Xia Houyan shook his folding fan confidently, nodded and smiled and said:
"You go white... I like to play defensive battles."

——According to the rules of Demon Chess, the white moves first, the black moves later, the white plays the main attack, and the black plays the defense.

Since His Excellency the Duke and the supreme commander of the campaign had spoken, how could a small Southern Army staff officer dare to disobey?
The unlucky Mr. Observer had no choice but to choose the white chess piece, and then carefully arranged the chess pieces on the board. With great courage, he pushed his pawn one step forward, which was regarded as a standard move to open the game.

Then, the lord of Shuangfengling on the opposite side pushed the little soldier, and actually played Demon Chess with him on the front line of the battlefield in a serious manner!

Except for the Frost Maple Ridge craftsmen who worked hard to load the ammunition of the "Cromwell Annihilator", the observers of the Southern Army present were dumbfounded when they saw this absurd scene of "playing chess on the front line of the battlefield";
Many of them are secretly convinced that regardless of whether the human race wins or loses in this war, the young Duke of Shuangfengling is destined to be recorded in the history books because of this brave move:

However, if humans win, the lord will definitely be praised by later generations as "fearless in the face of danger and has the style of a general";
If the humans lose, then the lord may have to be scolded by the historians as "a foolish thing messing around on the battlefield".

Of course, some southern army observers who have a deep gully in their chests also have to admire the big heart of Lord Frost Maple Ridge—obviously, compared to the observers who are nervous because of the battle situation, the young black-haired young black-haired one who can pay attention to the chess game with ease The duke undoubtedly has the talent to play a big game of chess.

A lord of Shuangfengling and a staff officer of the Southern Army, the two walked back and forth for more than ten steps, and the situation on the chessboard was still anxious:
This is also quite normal:
In fact, the lord has already made several bad moves, but as the opponent's Southern Army staff officer, he firmly insisted on the strategy of "never take the leadership chess piece" and he did not relax. The Duke fought back and forth, evenly matched.

Whether it was other colleagues in the Southern Army or Chris Mann who was watching the battle, they all admired this guy's emotional intelligence in the workplace.

However, a messenger galloping from the north on horseback suddenly interrupted the chess game between the two:

"Report Lord Lord, the northern defensive line has approached the enemy! The enemy is orc wolf cavalry, the number is about [-]!"

Hearing this, all the staff officers of the Southern Army changed color;
The unlucky observer who was playing against the lord stood up "teng" and said in a trembling voice:

"Y-Master Igor! One, one thousand wolf cavalry! This, this..."

"Sit down and continue playing." The lord impatiently tapped the pieces on the chessboard.

"But...but that's a thousand wolf cavalry!" The unlucky observer's voice was trembling, "You, you only sent three hundred infantry..."

"Go ahead and play chess." Xia Houyan rolled his eyes, "I have my own plan here!"

The unlucky observer opened his mouth in a daze, but was finally speechless, so he sat back in his chair dejectedly, and continued playing chess.

As a result, the two sides fought less than a dozen moves, and a second messenger sent Qingqi back:

"My lord! The orc wolf cavalry has entered a melee with the pioneer infantry, and the mages of the 'Northern Blizzard Mage Group' seem to have joined the battle group! I didn't dare to approach, but I just saw the battle from a distance. It seems that there are many casualties. I don't know the enemy!"

The staff officers of the Southern Army turned pale in horror and looked around. The unlucky observer who was playing chess with the lord stood up for the second time, and almost knocked over the chessboard in desperation:

"Lord, lord! No way! Your pioneer army soldiers can't hold it! You must immediately reinforce the north..."

"Play chess." Xia Houyan calmly rolled out his "catapult" chess piece, advancing towards the enemy king, "Explore again, report again!"

——The second sentence he said was to the messenger.

The unlucky observer watched the ordering cavalry turn his head and leave, then looked down at the chessboard for a while, and finally returned to his seat dejectedly, and continued to play chess with the leader.

However, this observer was worried about the battle situation in the north, upset and dissatisfied with the lord's laissez-faire strategy, so in a hurry, he forgot to restrain his strength for a while.

As a result, the Southern Army staff officers next to them watched the Duke of Shuangfengling's black chess pieces less and less on the board, and their hearts became more and more panicked——

——I don’t know if they are afraid that the soldiers of the pioneering army in the north will be wiped out, or if they are afraid that their own ram will lose their wits for a while and actually win the Lord Duke:

Which of the two is more dangerous is sometimes hard to say.

Fortunately, the God of War did not let the nervousness of comrades in the Southern Army last too long in front of this shooting front.

Because after more than ten minutes, there was a third messenger, galloping from the northern front line with royal horses.

——However, to the great surprise of the Southern Army staff officers, the orderly did not dismount first like the previous two, and then reported the battle situation to the lord. He shouted at the top of his voice:
"My lord - we won -! We won -! We won -! One thousand! One thousand wolf cavalry have been wiped out by us!"

Hearing this slightly nonsensical military report, the staff officers of the Southern Army were struck by lightning, and felt that the world was spinning and the world seemed unreal;
But when they looked at the faces of the messengers brimming with excitement and joy, they were finally convinced that the news was true!

Shuangfengling really used only three hundred infantry and a group of mages to stop the invincible elite orc wolf cavalry!

And when the staff officers of the Southern Army stabilized their minds a little bit, they turned their heads to look at the lord next to the chess game, only to find that the young Duke, the highest commander of the campaign and the "President of Southern Military Affairs", heard the orderer's report. Picking up the chess pieces, he shook his head flatly and chuckled:
"Well done lads..."

After saying this, the senior official Xiahou pushed the chessboard gracefully, stood up slowly, and looked to the north with his hands behind his back, his eyes were far away.

For a moment, the staff of the Southern Army only had endless admiration and admiration for the young Duke:
Across the mountain is the Federation Division, but he can talk and laugh freely amidst the background sound of bombing;
The wolf cavalry is imminent, but he can play chess as if nothing is in his mind;

But when Shuangfengling wiped out a thousand wolf cavalry with three hundred infantry, he smiled indifferently, brushed off his clothes, and hid his merits and fame!

From the Glorious Federation in the east to the Dark Demon Realm in the south, looking at the human empire, which general has such an open-minded demeanor?
——Even if it is the star of the empire, Grand Duke Grimm Rosario, the "Blood of Blood", is afraid that he will be eclipsed in front of this young duke!
Only Chris Mann, who was more familiar with the lord, noticed that the lord almost sprained his feet when he stood up from the wheelchair. Obviously, the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed.

However, amidst the jubilation of the audience, only the unlucky observer who played against the lord wanted to cry without tears:
Why did you just push the chessboard away?
I'm fucking going to win...

Fuck!
