Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 344 I need to regroup the troops

Wearing a black tights, the female assassin of Ruststone Town, who looked quite curvy even in the dark, dragged the corpses of two unlucky soldiers to the depths of the wine cellar and hid them with the assistance of Eldridge.

On the side, Master Laurie looked furtively at the fine wines in the castle's wine cellar.

In the past two years, although Shuangfengling has made a lot of money, as a start-up wasteland territory, it has always adhered to the frugal style of spending money wisely;
Therefore, although the current Phoenix Terrace has stockpiled a lot of weapons, ammunition, equipment, and food, in terms of luxury goods, it is still not as good as an established territory like the Grand Duchy of Houston—take drinks as an example, let alone fine wine Well, even the most inferior dwarven spirits are rationed in Shuangfengling.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has this to say:
What kind of wine to drink, isn't the spiritual food delicious?
Get lost and read Dong Bingku's novels!
This also led to the fact that since Master Laurie walked into the wine cellar of the Castle of Rock Creek, his sneaky eyes have been fixed on the big wine barrels full of pits and valleys. Master Laurie will realize that if the hoard here can be moved back to Frost Maple Ridge, what a fortune it will be!
But what surprised Master Laurie was the lord's attitude.

God is sorry to see, the lord of Shuangfengling is the one who does all kinds of evil in order to make a fortune, dig graves, rob, cheat, write novels, and operate leather cases;

But at this moment, after entering the wine cellar of Rock Creek City, the official Xiahou just glanced at the wine barrel beside him and then looked away, and the expression on his face also returned to the inherent worry of today.

Coupled with the fact that the lord was uncharacteristically today, he did not allow his subordinates to perform tasks, but asked to personally follow the team. This situation made Master Laurie puzzled:

Boss, what happened today?
The leader of the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group" in Shuangfengling is still confused about the situation as if he was suddenly acquired by Microsoft. The other team members have already completed their duties with strong professionalism.

Under the cover of the shields held by the two southern knights, Master Buckingham, the "Flame Marksman", carefully inspected the underground wine cellar with a burning arrow, and then put his ears on the door panel to confirm the underground corridor outside. Also empty.

After cleaning up the corpse, Master Ramos walked to the table, dipped his index finger in the wine to draw a picture, and explained to the lord and his teammates:
"According to intelligence, the main structure of this ancient fortress has a total of five floors. From this underground wine cellar, you can enter the first floor of the castle. The Duke of Houston is currently locking himself on the top floor of the central tower, which means that we must go all the way. Kill the fifth floor before entering the tower, and the location of the black priest is not yet clear. The Houston defenders in the castle should be mainly concentrated on the outer walls and the four-corner tower, but there must be soldiers patrolling the fifth floor of the main castle building — I fear a fight is inevitable."

Hearing Master Ramos' battle report, the members of the "Rainbow Six" team showed no fluctuations in expression.

These bastards are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and they have seen a lot of enemies—or rather, the purpose of forming this elite team is to kill all the way from the inside of the castle, and then easily capture the Duke of Houston alive That's all.

When it comes to "fighting", no one really panics.

Xia Houyan nodded after listening to the briefing, and solemnly said:
"Everyone, I have only one request, a quick battle, clear the castle as soon as possible, capture the Duke of Houston alive, and kill all enemy troops. Don't worry about my safety, Alice can protect me."

Hearing this, the Shuangfengling female guard captain on the side smiled sweetly, while the other team members nodded incessantly, for fear of appearing not active enough in front of the big leader.

Finally, the lord yelled a very grand mobilization slogan in a low voice:
"The Grand Duke of Houston is treasonous, for His Majesty Basil, I hope that all the kings will encourage each other, honor the emperor, punish traitors, and punish the country's traitors!"

Thus, a bloody storm officially swept through the Castle of Rock Creek City.

To be honest, this is an asymmetrical war with disparity in strength:
One side is an elite fighter with abundant martial virtues carefully selected by the princes in the southern border of the empire;

On the other side are the defenders of Rock Creek City, which is now showing signs of decline and Feila is in a state of disarray.

If the previous winter, the Igor family wiped out the "Pride of the South" knights and the elite of the Rock Creek mages in the defense of Frost Maple Ridge, it was only a serious blow to the vitality of the Grand Duchy of Houston, then last year's self-inflicted evil The civil strife in the living Rock Creek City really drained the last sliver of vitality of this veteran family.

At this moment, the elite of Rock Creek City has almost been lost, and many senior soldiers loyal to the Houston family were also disappointed in the civil strife and left the Grand Duchy army;

Most of the defenders currently stationed in Rock Creek Castle are recruits temporarily recruited in the Grand Duchy in recent months, or adapted from the southern mercenary regiment directly controlled by the Grand Duke of Houston—these rookies The quality of the soldiers can be seen from the fact that they took turns going to the wine cellar to steal wine and drink;
Without the protection of the fortifications of Rock Creek Castle, they were almost powerless in front of the "Rainbow Six" team.

After this elite team climbed the stairs from the ground to the first floor of the castle, Xia Houyan, who was walking behind the team, didn't even have time to see the enemy clearly. The five-star flame sharpshooter Master Buckingham of Longshan County who was acting as a scout in front of the team had already called the defenders in the hall on the first floor one by one with unlit blunt burning arrows at the rate of fire of an assault rifle;

The rest of the soldiers dozing off in the corners, as well as the Rock Creek shooter hovering in the corridor on the second floor to monitor the hall, were simply eliminated by the magicians in the team with instant magic—— Except for Lena Leslie, the rest are also junior magisters at the end of the day. Their use of magic power can be described as wonderful. The fall of autumn leaves kills people silently.

As for the knights, warriors, and swordsmen in the "Rainbow Six" team, they have directly become outsiders on the battlefield who have carried out the philosophy of existentialism to the end—there is no way, the girls move too slowly, and there is no way to follow the gang The long-range old rogue's arrows and spells grab people's heads.

Eldridge is the unluckiest of the team:
This guy is carrying a large shield that looks like a bed board today. He originally wanted to wait for the danger to arise, and he would desperately guard the lord behind him, and put on a good show of a loyal dog protecting the lord, so as to ask the boss for a salary increase;

However, these Rock Creek soldiers in the hall resolutely belched without even a little resistance, and Eldridge, who was dragging a heavy shield and moving slowly in the team, looked like a fool;

I have to say that this scene perfectly reflects the embarrassment of your five-speed headless teammate already taking pentakills in one go when you are still holding a large shield and confronting the defender in the air at the door.

After solving the enemies in the hall on the first floor, the "Rainbow Six" team did not hesitate to go straight up the stairs, heading towards the fifth floor connecting the main tower of the castle.

During this period, decent "dangerous situations" only appeared three times.

For the first time, when everyone marched to the third floor of the castle, the sound of the horn that symbolized the enemy's attack came late. Master Laurie just used superb spiritual magic to make everyone on this floor The enemies killed each other cleanly, and the supporting enemy troops who came from the four corner towers of the castle poured into the hall again.

Until then, the southern warriors who had been watching from the sidelines finally found a chance to perform.

A few imperial knights in heavy armor ran over the dense crowd of defenders like armored vehicles, leaving behind a bloody mass of mourners, while the elite swordsmen in the team waved their shining long swords and jumped left and right, A real-life version of Kill Bill was staged on the third floor of the castle.

The only problem is that when there are too many enemies, some comrades will become red-eyed...

Master Buckingham, a five-star flame sharpshooter from Longshan County, saw the lambs to be slaughtered pouring in, and finally couldn't restrain his desire to set fire and destroy by one vote more than Guy Fawkes, as ruthless as General Li Mei's victory by three points, He ignited a powerful burning arrow and hugged the crowded enemy army.

The end of this arrow was extremely fierce, and a flame streaked across the air, and then the fire became a big one, and blossomed and fell to the unlucky castle defenders, allowing the girls to spend the vast night of their lives with this fire, and in an instant, they would violate the epidemic prevention The Houston soldiers, shoulder to shoulder, burned into a mass of human-shaped candle stubs;

But the problem is that although Master Buckingham raised the fire high alone, the burned castle defenders could not extinguish the fire...

You know, although the main structure of Rock Creek Castle is built of stones, the internal structure has been changed several times like the Ship of Theseus over hundreds of years, and now the entire three floors are more than ten years old. The former wooden structure has just been refurbished...

As a result, although Master Buckingham set fire to the enemy, the enemy was completely burned, but the fire spread to the castle floor immediately, and it was about to burn to the "Rainbow Six" team!

Thanks to the water mage and the "tide caller" master Ramos in the team, they saw the opportunity quickly and quickly summoned a torrent to control the fire. This prevented Rock Creek Castle from being burned down to Notre Dame de Paris or the Berlin Congress The building also saved the lord from becoming a roast duck.

——Yes, this first "dangerous situation" encountered by the team was completely surrounded by his mother's friendly army.

As for the second danger, it was expected by everyone.

After clearing the enemy troops and fire on the third floor of the castle, everyone finally encountered some decent resistance when they first entered the fourth floor of the castle:

A wave of colorful and dense magic shootings caught the leading team of the "Rainbow Six" team by surprise. If it wasn't for a well-off Southern Rose Knight who sacrificed a hidden magic item "Negate Ornament", The three-month cooldown time dispelled this wave of magic attacks at the cost of it, and the team members might be reduced by this unexpected wave of magic attacks.

It wasn't until this time that Xia Houyan suddenly remembered that the magical power of Yanxi City hadn't died yet!
Indeed, after the death of the unlucky necromancer Ander Spencer, the Rock Creek City Mages basically lost their backbone, and there were not a few magicians like Lena Leslie who switched to other families;
But a rotten ship also has three catties of iron, and the Houston family's wealth is here, so it's not a problem to temporarily replenish some magical vitality——

After receiving the horn alarm, the low-end version of Rock Creek City mages stationed on the fourth and fifth floors of the castle quickly gathered at the entrance of the fourth floor, wanting to give Mawei a note for the "Rainbow Six" team that was invading all the way up;

It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as people's calculations. This group of magicians made good calculations, but they were defeated by the "rejection pendant" with the power of wealth.

The sneak attack failed, and the magicians of Rock Creek City had no chance of winning.

After confirming that the enemy is an element user, the mages in the "Rainbow Six" team had a tacit understanding and opened a round of "Evans protective barrier".

This kind of magic enchantment, which is famous in the mainland, is probably the simplest and crudest solution against elemental users, and it is also the only magic weapon for the human magicians of the empire to be undefeated in magic duels. Mages specialize in maintaining enchantments to resist enemy magic attacks;
The magicians in the "Rainbow Six" team are actually very high-ranking, and they usually don't do the dirty work of "maintaining the barrier", but the battle at the Kemal Manor has eloquently proved that, When it's time to use it, the protective barrier created by these magic masters will only be stronger than those low-level mages!

The second wave of magic volleys erupted by the magicians of Rock Creek City just caused a few rounds of silent ripples on the translucent egg-shaped enchantment. Immediately afterwards, the archers under the protection of the enchantment shot Shot the headshots of these stupid magic newbies one by one——

According to Xia Houyan's observations, this group of bums ADCs even had a leisurely mind on the battlefield, and secretly contested who shot the arrows, with the highest rate of arrows hitting the center of the eyebrows.

The third danger was encountered when they climbed to the fifth floor of the castle and were about to enter the tower.

This dangerous situation can be regarded as bringing great difficulties to the team members:
Because none of them knew, facing Captain Philip, the commander of the castle defense who knelt on the ground with a "plop" and begged for mercy, should he be killed, or should he be merciful and let him go?
Regarding this question, the lord showed the decisiveness that a superior should have.

Because without saying a word, he directly drew back the "Golden Sword of Majesty" hanging from Alice Comstock's waist, and then stabbed the defender commander to the core without even looking at it.

All the magicians present broke out in a cold sweat:

Because they didn't believe it even if they were beaten to death, how could the gloomy and literary mage academy teach such a murderous thug?
