Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 432 Firework Youth
An elf maid in a long silk dress came slowly, placed a white porcelain thin-necked vase on the wooden table at the door, and then exited the room with her head bowed under the signal of the orc guards.

General Virgil squinted and watched the elf maid disappear through the door, and then pinched his silver-plated shoulder armor with his fingers and took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart.

——Are there any high elves in the world who would willingly serve a group of orc officers in the orc camp on the east side of the Burning Crystal Canyon?

General Virgil thought the answer was no.

There is no doubt that this elven maid who suddenly appeared in the meeting room of the orc command post was a citizen of the Stardust Protectorate captured by the federal army in the eastern occupied area and unfortunately failed to escape back to Eternal Sun City in time.

Just to the east of this Burning Crystal Canyon, on the vast Far East Plain of the Empire, there are countless humans, elves, and other citizens of the Empire, living in disgrace under the rule of the Glorious Federation.

And the Glory Federation chose to let this poor elf maid show up at the negotiation scene, obviously in order to use the suffering of his compatriots to disturb the mind of General Virgil, the commander of Eternal Sun City.

General Virgil, who realized this, sat at the negotiating table of the Federal Battalion Command, his eyes became colder and colder.

Opposite him, on the other side of the negotiating table, sat a total of three orc officers.

The orc officers on the left and right, judging from the lines on the shoulder straps, are just small leaders of the federal army at the commander-in-chief level, not enough to attract General Virgil's attention;
However, the orc in the center really made the well-informed General Virgil feel a little pressure:
Because the other party is none other than Adolf Black-eyed Warlord of the Glorious Federation—the "Commander of the Frontline of the Glorious Federation" who is in charge of commanding the entire orc army in the Burning Crystal Canyon.

Although General Virgil crossed the canyon to the other side of the canyon and asked to negotiate with the orcs, he never expected that he would be the number one person in the front line of the Glorious Federation and sit at the negotiating table to talk to himself.

At this moment, Adolf Black-eyed Warlord is slowly saying:
"...Mr. Virgil, we already know your request. But please allow me to repeat it again: Our Glorious Federation does not have the habit of kidnapping hostages, and it is even less likely that we will go to Eternal Sun City to take your wife away. You keep Asking us to 'return the captives', but we don't even have any captives, so how do we return them?"

Adolf Black-Eyed Warlord has a rough voice, but there is a hint of gentle scholarly temperament in his speech, which is quite outstanding among the group of illiterate and vulgar green-skinned orcs.

But General Virgil didn't care to pay attention to the other party's speech and behavior, just gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Excellency, Grand Warlord, are you teasing me? I watched my group of despicable orc assassins capture my Wendy with my own eyes in my bedroom..."

The black-eyed warlord was silent for a moment, then firmly said:
"Mr. Virgil, I can guarantee with the glory of my warrior that something like this cannot happen..."

"Impossible?!" General Virgil was a little annoyed by the opponent's denial, and screamed, "Are you saying that you orcs don't have the habit of taking hostages and taking prisoners? Then the elf girl who came in to put the vase just now What's going on? Didn't she be enslaved by you from the occupied area?!"

"Miss Nancy just now is indeed from the former empire on the east side of the canyon." The black-eyed warlord frowned and said, "But God of War can testify for me, we did not force her to go to the front line to serve as a maid, but paid for it." Reasonable price as remuneration..."

General Virgil let out a heavy "hum".

The black-eyed warlord sighed, and said patiently:

"General Virgil, I know that you stardust elves and empire humans have many prejudices and misunderstandings about us orcs—but today I have no intention of correcting your misunderstandings. There is only one thing I want to make clear: the Federation of Glory has never It is not, and will never be, to kidnap a civilian woman or child in an enemy country, which is fundamentally contrary to our sense of honor."

General Virgil growled:

"Then how do you explain what happened to my Wendy? I watched you orcs take her away with my own eyes! With my own eyes!"

Adolf Heiyan frowned and thought for a while, then tapped his fingers on the table and said:
"If you saw this with your own eyes, I'm afraid I can't explain it... However, is it possible that some orc stragglers who broke away from the Federation did it?"

General Virgil sneered, and was about to speak, but suddenly raised his head vigilantly.

On the other side of the negotiating table, the three orc officers, including Adolf the Black-eyed Overseer, also froze at the same time.

Because they heard at the same time, there seemed to be some movement outside the command post——

— like the sound of the wind.

Then, without any reaction, blazing white flames suddenly filled the entire space.The fire of destruction called death swallowed the elf maid who was carefully placing a vase, the black-eyed warlord and the two orc officers, and the entire federal barracks centered on this small building. It also devoured all hope and future in the world.

Elf General Virgil's eyes were filled with confusion.

……

Even across a long burning crystal canyon, even standing on the head of the civil castle, even through the lens barrel of the dark moon glazed telescope, the blazing white flames in the orc barracks are still extremely dazzling.

In stark contrast to the endlessly burning flames, the battle songs that echoed on the other side of the canyon in the past have long since disappeared.

The entire eastern side of the canyon and the Hundred Mile Company of the Glorious Federation were buried in a disturbing silence.

The "Hercules" missile that had misguided navigation completely destroyed the central part of the federal army camp on the opposite side of the canyon; and the remnants of the orc camp looked quiet through the lens tube:
Even the Wyvern air cavalry that usually hovered over the camp had died down and disappeared.

The federal orcs on the opposite side of the canyon obviously haven't recovered from the thunderstorm an hour ago.

Xia Houyan was still wearing the blood-red short robe he wore when he was watching the ceremony, standing high on the watchtower of the Tumu Fortress, and silently put down the dark moon glazed binoculars in his hand.

Behind him, the sweaty imperial messengers were reporting loudly to the frost-faced Grand Duke Rosario and Marquis Grant:

"...Half an hour ago, the envoy we dispatched urgently rushed to the other side of the canyon, ready to explain the situation to the Federation, but he has not returned until now... Two commanders, the situation is probably not optimistic."

Grand Duke Rosario asked solemnly:

"How's the situation on that front?"

The orderly gritted his teeth:
"...The order has been urgently issued: cancel the ceasefire and make full preparations for war. At present, the garrison of the civil fort is fully in place, ready to deal with retaliatory attacks from the federal side at any time-but the order will be passed to other areas west of Burning Crystal Canyon It will probably take some time for the local area, and even Thermopylae Pass and Goliath Pass..."

"That's enough." Grand Duke Rosario clenched his brows tightly, and the tiredness on his face was clearly visible, "The news of the explosion at the frontline barracks in Burning Crystal Canyon also needs to be spread to other orc legions." time."

The Marquis of Lane Grant nodded gloomily, agreeing.

"Will the orcs attack us?" Xia Houyan turned around and asked, tapping his palm with the telescope barrel.

"Only the **** Supreme God knows what the hell these green-skinned bastards will do!" Marquis Grant cursed, expressing his inner anxiety and anger to his heart's content, even ignoring his old grudge with the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge Go up, "I only know that the green-skinned bastards on the opposite side must be blown up when they get hit by 'Hercules' for no reason. They may directly tear up the ceasefire agreement at any time and launch an all-army attack on the civil fort!"

"—And from their point of view, it was obviously the empire that tore up the ceasefire agreement first." Grand Duke Rosario looked at Xia Houyan and said with a wry smile, "I don't think the orcs on the other side of the canyon will believe that the 'powerful' God' was nothing more than pure accident..."

"It doesn't matter whether those bastards believe it or not." Marquis Grant almost crushed the battlements at hand, "They just need an excuse to renew the war against the Empire and continue their previous offensive until they take down Eternal Sun City... Okay Guy, we actually handed over the excuse to the orcs ourselves now!"

Xia Houyan remained speechless.

In fact, according to common sense, it is completely normal for a newly developed secret weapon like "Hercules" to make some mistakes during the test-fire - what kind of new invention will not encounter setbacks in the process of growth and improvement?
But the problem is that the testing site selected by the empire for "Hercules" this time is too sensitive!
And the navigation problem exposed by "Hercules" is really fucking fatal!

At that time, the imperial nobles who were watching the ceremony at the edge of the school field just watched the "Hercules" who killed a thousand swords fly straight to the east, and fell into the center of the federal camp, directly in the burning crystal. On the east side of the canyon, a big mushroom with countless wronged souls grew!
——Pure indiscriminate disaster!

Thanks to Grand Duke Rosario's quick response, he was the first to stand up at the pass where the nobles and all the officers and soldiers of the imperial army were still stunned, and ordered to send people to quickly escort all the imperial nobles to retreat to Yongsun City , and at the same time, the whole army is in place and ready for battle at any time:
If they eat a short-range missile without any warning and can remain indifferent like a human being, then the Federal Orcs are no longer Federal Orcs—it is almost conceivable that the Federation army on the other side of the canyon may be attacked by this time at any time. The "Hercules" explosion was completely enraged, and then launched an attack on the group of culprits on the west side of the canyon with overwhelming momentum!

If the imperial nobles who watched the ceremony were not sent to a safe place away from the orc soldiers, one-third of the blood of the imperial nobles would probably perish in this civil castle!

And after the imperial nobles were evacuated, the three giants, the Grand Duke Rosario, the Marquis Grant, and a certain Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, boarded the watchtower of the civil castle for the first time, and watched the canyon with tense nerves. The movement of the orcs on the side; as for the "messenger" sent to the other side of the canyon to explain the situation, it only has the psychological comfort effect of maintaining a chance of peace:

Because, "I'm sorry, we accidentally blew your camp upside down by launching a missile", even if it was the Imperials, they themselves wouldn't believe it!
No one thought that the fragile peace that had been barely maintained for two months on the eastern border would come to an end in such a doggy way!

The three imperial officials felt numb.

The ceasefire agreement won by Xiahou officials in Bloodthorn City is actually a notice of probation from the imperial army. At this moment, it is even more necessary to seize every minute and every second to replenish soldiers and transport equipment...

But this precious time window for preparing troops for war was wiped out because of a misguided "Hercules" missile!
In the hearts of the Grand Duke Rosario and the Marquis Grant, I am afraid that they have already greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Molten Valley craftsmen countless times.

As for the Xiahou official who is not the leader of the regular imperial army, he is not so sad and indignant. He is just speechless for the good show he has witnessed-of course, he is now more convinced that all automatic navigation and driving technologies are really good. is unreliable...

Among the high-level empire present, there was only one person whose attitude was quite relaxed——

Lord Guillaume, Prime Minister of the Empire, stretched out his hands, patted in front of the two regular army commanders who were ashen-faced, and said with a forced smile:

"Everyone, everyone, don't be so nervous..."

"Nervous?! How can you not be nervous?!" Marquis Grant waved his big hand, slapped the stone wall of the watchtower with hatred, and roared in a low voice, "The orcs on the opposite side may attack at any time! Anytime! This civil castle Now that we have no preparations, what should we use to stop those orc bastards?!"

"This..." Lord Guillaume wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, hesitatingly said, "Didn't the scout just say that 'Hercules' directly destroyed the location of the orc army command post, and this group of green It will take some time for the leather goods to regain their organizational skills... Besides, we still have countless Imperial Good Erlangs and several 'Hercules' at the Tumu Fortress..."

"And 'Hercules'?!" Marquess Grant screamed angrily, "How dare you use that damn 'Hercules'?! You really are not afraid of another son of a bitch' accident Navigation error', and then blasted westward into Eternal Sun City?!"

Grand Duke Rosario was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Lord Guillaume coldly:
"'Accidental navigation error'... Your Excellency Prime Minister, tell me the truth—is this really just an accident?"

"Ah?!" Master Guillaume was stunned for a moment, "You... what do you mean?"

"The 'Hercules' that went wrong and exploded to the east of the Burning Crystal Canyon, you brought the civil fort from the imperial capital." Grand Duke Rosario took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "And you have indeed been persuading us Break off the ceasefire as soon as possible, and start a full-scale war against the federal orcs... I think, is there a possibility that the "Hercules" that was "unexpected" was actually not an "accident", but some "militant elements" provoked How about the end of the war?"

"Do you suspect that I let 'Hercules' blow up into the orc bastard camp?!" Lord Guillaume jumped three feet high, "O Supreme Holy Spirit! I am indeed in favor of war, but at the end of the front line The decision is up to you, my dear Lord Rosario! As the Prime Minister of the Empire, how could I use this method to force you to go to war against the Federation?!"

Grand Duke Rosario remained silent.

"What's more, what's more!" Lord Guillaume stamped his feet anxiously, "Lord Rosario, you have also seen it! 'Hercules' needs to rely on magical rhythms to navigate! Even if I, Guillaume Gunter, have With such a great ability, there is no way to send the magic crystal engraved with the target magic rhythm to the camp of the green-skinned bastards!"

Grand Duke Rosario nodded slowly, and Marquis Lane Grant's complexion became more and more livid:

"His grandma's... really ruined his mother's eight lifetimes of bad luck..."

Xia Houyan didn't bother to pay attention to the group of high-level empires who were fighting in front of the battle. He raised the binoculars in his hand again and carefully observed the movement of the orc camp.

"It's strange, aren't the orcs known on the mainland for their vengeance and revanchist spirit..." The lord said to himself, "Why are they so cold when they have a 'Missile Crisis' this time—— "

——In the middle of speaking, he consciously closed his mouth.

Because through the dark moon glass lens in the lens barrel, he saw very clearly that an incendiary bomb entwined with raging fire was rushing across the blood-colored sky in a parabolic shape, and was rapidly attacking the front wall of the imperial civil fortress.
