Why did the lord rebel

The Federation orcs' counterattack was as swift and merciless as their vengeful rage.

At the same time that the incendiary bomb appeared in Xia Houyan's field of vision, there was already a huge explosion roar near the two stone wall bunkers on the flanks of the civil fort; Shaking violently as if being shaken by an invisible big hand, Lord Guillaume Gaunt was even more unsteady in the falling smoke, fell to the ground with his buttocks, and let out a soul-stirring scream.

The attendants rushed forward to help the Prime Minister of the Empire, but the Grand Duke Rosario and the Marquis Grant had already ignored this, and hurried to the narrow side windows of the tower, looking anxiously at the situation on both sides.

And the first one to observe the current situation was undoubtedly the senior official Xiahou who had the dark moon glazed telescope in his hand.

He only needed to turn the lens tube slightly and look along the stone wall stretching along the edge of the canyon, and he could clearly see that there was already a raging flame, devouring the western flank blockhouse like a devil's bloody mouth.

The only good news is that through the light of the flames, he noticed that the main structure of the bunker remained intact—the aim of the Glorious Federation's "Flesh and Blood" chariot was never disappointing, and this time it did not hit directly Instead of the bunker, it smashed hard at the front foot of the stone wall of the bunker.

Immediately afterwards, light blue light filled the field of vision, and amidst the faint sound of magician singing, a huge light blue floating magic shield appeared in the air directly in front of the civil castle.The incendiary bomb that hit the front of the civil castle first hit a huge ripple in the middle of the magic shield, and then quickly disintegrated under the action of the majestic magic power, and disappeared together with the flames entwined on it. invisible.

——Thanks to Grand Duke Rosario for having the magicians in the army in place ahead of schedule;

——Thanks to the early warning of the flank bunkers that were first bombed;

——Thanks to the wide Burning Crystal Canyon, the bombing power of the "Flesh and Flesh" chariot was greatly weakened;

If it weren't for this, the federal incendiary bomb that came suddenly was enough to smash a big hole in the front stone wall of the civil fort, and burn the two priceless "Cromwell Annihilator" ballistas on the wall!
Several high-level empire officials on the watchtower, bathed in the glow of the magic shield outside the window, realized what had happened almost instantly.Without anyone's instructions, Master Guillaume, who was still in a daze, was carried away from the tower by two Rose City knights:
Although this towering watchtower provides an excellent view overlooking the battlefield, it is also very easy to become the target of the Federation's follow-up attacks. If Lord Guillaume really leads the defense of the country here and the prime minister dies, Grand Duke Rosario will I don't know how to explain to His Majesty Basil III!

In fact, there were two other knights who came forward at the same time, wanting to escort the high official Xiahou to leave together:

After all, the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge had no armor on his body, and was only wearing a short ceremonial gown, which really didn't look like the attire that should appear on the front line of the battlefield;

It's just that a sharp look from the young duke made the two enthusiastic knights stunned and stood there at a loss. …

On the other side, the Marquis Grant had put the dark moon glazed binoculars in his eye sockets, and cursed:
"Damn it! These federal orcs are crazy! How dare they do something like this!"

The high-ranking military officers present certainly knew what the commander of the Central Army meant:
According to past experience, the Glorious Federation, which attaches great importance to honor, not only sends a document notice before launching an attack, but also sings a loud and clear battle song first-and after the battle song is over, it is the ice that is waiting for mankind. The iron hooves of the mammoth, the bombs of the plague of flesh and blood, and the sharp blades of the orc wolf cavalry.

But this time, there was no news from the envoys sent by the empire, and the federal orcs on the other side of the canyon had taken the lead without warning, abandoning the previous battlefield etiquette. There is only one explanation for this situation:
"If I were an orc, during the ceasefire period, half of my camp was suddenly blown up by an enemy missile, I would also go crazy." Grand Duke Rosario let out a long breath, and looked at the other camp with melancholy eyes. It was a round of incendiary bombs thrown far from the other side of the canyon, "Everyone, the next battle we face will be a death fight without any honor and kindness..."

Almost at the same time that Grand Duke Rosario made this assertion, the loud and barbaric horn sounded from the other side of the canyon.The central area of ​​the federal camp facing the civil fort is still a quiet area of ​​scorched marks and rubble, but on both sides of it, in the well-maintained camp area, there have been many shadowy and huge figures——

——Then, the ground began to tremble.

The clouds began to change.

Countless birds soared into the sky, scrambling to escape from this calamity.

The Ice Demon Mammoth of the Glorious Federation began to charge at 95:24:21 p.m. on October [-]th, [-]th year of the Imperial Calendar.

Their long-haired giant figures, like rolling boulders, poured down from the slopes on the east side of the Burning Crystal Canyon, carrying the river of dust and mud, and rushed towards the west side of the canyon amidst the roar of thunder and the roar of raging waves. Come.Their snow-white tusks stirred up the earth, corpses, and fallen dreams, while their broad hoofed feet shattered the courage and soul of all the imperial people on the west side of the canyon.

Amidst the sharp magic siren, the "Cromwell Annihilator" ballista, which had been prepared at the head of the Imperial Civil Fortress, threw the first round of ammunition towards this group of huge old opponents.

Just in front of the orc camp, the incendiary bombs thrown by the array were shot, and while they were in close contact with the magic shield of the empire in the air, there were also bombs dropped from the civil fortress, flying across the sky like meteors, and quickly fell towards the people who were trying to rush through the canyon Ice demon mammoth clusters in the middle line.

However, the speed of the Ice Demon Mammoth is too fast, and their breath-taking huge physique is a bit too small against the backdrop of the Burning Crystal Canyon.

Most of the bombs thrown by the empire just missed the target. Kongzi crashed to the ground between the ice demon mammoth, smashing out one after another huge dirt pits, and aroused a spout of dust that could be tens of meters high.

——But it wasn't enough to stop the Ice Demon Mammoth's forward charge.At the same time as the first round of bombing ended, the Ice Demon Mammoth at the front had already crossed the central boundary of the Burning Crystal Canyon without fear, and continued to sprint towards the defense line of the Tumu Fortress, beating gold and beating drums, with murderous aura . …

Among the dozens of wasted bombs, only one seems to have played an unexpected role:

At the target point where the bomb hit, what was splashed was not mud, but dazzling deflagration flames——followed by, countless sparks scattered from the ground zero point, forming a two-dimensional mass on the canyon floor. 30m wide combustion zone:

Like ghosts and gods, the unstoppable ice demon mammoth involuntarily screamed and twisted its body in front of this burning zone, trying to avoid the terrifying flames; After stepping into this flame zone, his whole body was immediately covered in fiery flames.

These ice demon mammoths that were engulfed in flames, immobilized, and declared to have broken down formed a stark contrast with the large groups of mammoths rushing rapidly on both sides of the front line.

"What is that? What's going on?!" Marquis Grant almost dropped the dark moon glazed binoculars in his hand when he witnessed this scene—rao is a well-informed commander of the Central Army, and he has never seen it dealt with. The Mammoth is such an efficient bomber!

"It's Shuangfengling's 'flame sandwich candy' incendiary bomb." Of course Xia Houyan recognized his own product at a glance, and also captured it with his vision. The one that shot this heroic bomb was the one that Shuangfengling brought to the front line." It will kill you 3000" Ballista, "This kind of incendiary bomb is made of vine fuel mixed with honey, and it is a specialty of our Frost Maple Ridge—last year in the Battle of the Red River Valley, 'flame sandwich candy' took the lead."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was terrified.

Frost Maple Ridge wiped out the "Purgatory Hammer" division in the Red River Valley. "One caught off guard;
But now that they have seen the divine power of "Blazing Candy" with their own eyes, they now have a real sense of the tragic experience of "Hammer of Purgatory".

"Eliott, how many of these incendiary bombs did you bring?" Grand Duke Rosario stared at Xia Houyan.

"Enough." Xia Houyan shrugged, showing the ugly face of an arms dealer, "But if you want to use it, you have to spend money."

Marquis Grant raised his eyebrows, and was about to reprimand the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge for his rape, but was stopped by Grand Duke Rosario with a hand.

"Eliott, please immediately distribute the 'Purgatory Candies' in the hands of the Frost Maple Ridge troops to the hands of the 'Cromwell Annihilators' belonging to the empire—money is not a problem before war." Grand Duke Sario took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Decree." Xia Houyan shrugged, picked up a piece of parchment, wrote a letter from the president, and handed it to a knight of Rose City, asking him to prepare incendiary bombs, "However, the ammunition is changed now, isn't it?" A little too late?"

"No rush. I didn't think of relying on your Frost Maple Ridge family background to stop this group of ice demon mammoths." Grand Duke Rosario smiled chicly, "Eliot, I'm afraid you don't know to tell you— —In dealing with the ice monster mammoth, even if our Eastern Army pays the tuition with human life, we should have some experience by now."

As if to confirm the confident speech of Grand Duke Rosario, a new situation immediately appeared on the battlefield:…

While the "Cromwell Annihilators" were busy loading the second round of ammunition, the ancient rune chants of the imperial magicians suddenly appeared on the top of the civil castle.Under the chants of hundreds of mages accompanying the army in unison, a glistening white mana canopy covered dozens of miles of ground in front of the civil castle from top to bottom.

All the ice demon mammoths, since they crashed into this magical light curtain, immediately seemed to be pressed by the shift button. Every move became slow and stiff slow motion, and the fierce momentum of charging forward also abruptly stopped. And stop.

This is exactly the large-scale battlefield magic that was urgently developed after the imperial magic world was defeated in the Eastern Realm - "Syracusa Blocking Realm"!This kind of giant magic that requires more than dozens of magicians to sing together, its actual level has even surpassed the master-level magic, and only the regular army of the empire can afford it and use it!
Witnessing this giant magical light curtain showing its talents, Xia Houyan suddenly felt that the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group" in Shuangfengling had become a children's play house, and he felt uncomfortable.

The ice demon mammoth was stopped in the middle of the canyon by the imperial magician, and the melodious chirping of the griffin also came late behind the civil castle.

Under the command of the captain, the Griffon air cavalry of the "Lancaster United" flew into the air, and rushed straight to the group of ice demon mammoths blocked in the canyon.When the griffin took off, the huge wind pressure caused hundreds of flags on the top of the Tumu Castle to rattle together, and almost shook the ears of the senior official Xiahou on the top of the watchtower.

To deal with the cumbersome ice demon mammoth, it is necessary to rely on the air cavalry to attack the ground-this is the painful lesson that the regular army of the empire has just learned at the cost of countless blood and tears!

However, Xia Houyan originally thought that the attack of the Griffin Air Cavalry would be the final word, but he still underestimated the cunning of Grand Duke Rosario.

Because, before the air cavalry loaded with bombs had time to touch the ice demon mammoth, there was a deafening explosion under the feet of the woolly elephants——Xia Houyan saw with his own eyes, a cloud of fire that suddenly appeared and surged from the ground. In the dazzling flames, under the impact of the shock wave, countless mammoths rolled over and fell to the ground, knocking the land of Haiwen into a burst of mourning.

This scene is really weird!

Xia Houyan clearly saw that the "Cromwell Annihilator" at the top of the Tumu Castle was still in the process of reloading, and did not drop any bombs at the ice demon mammoth in the canyon!

Then this round of explosion without warning, which turned the Ice Demon Mammoth off his back, where the hell did it come from?
He looked left and right, only to find the handsome smiling face of Archduke Rosario written all over it with "successful tricks".

"Twenty days ago, when our priest was busy cleaning the battlefield, I sent someone to quietly bury some 'Betika' magic bombs under the canyon... Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with planning for a rainy day." Grimm Law Sario revealed the answer for everyone with a smirk.

Xia Houyan and the other officers on the watchtower were speechless.

——The move of Grand Duke Rosario is too damaging!
Since once entering, it will be covered by fire from both sides of the canyon, the bottom of Burning Crystal Canyon has always been a no-man's land that neither the empire nor the federation can touch;

The only ones who can enter the bottom of the canyon without being attacked are the priests and medical teams who are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and recovering the corpses!

——And Grand Duke Rosario took advantage of this to let a group of imperial priests plant magical landmines with astonishing lethality in the canyon in advance under the guise of "cleaning the battlefield"!
The federal orcs, who have always valued honor and faith, probably thought that the imperial people would come up with such a wicked and smoky idea even if they racked their brains!
However, even the people of the empire on the watchtower are quite skeptical at this moment whether the Grand Duke of Rose City will be able to go to heaven and return to the embrace of the Holy God in the future.

Seeing that the Ice Demon Mammoth was taken by Duke Rosario's insidious trick, of course the "Lancaster Air Force Wing" in the air would not stand by and immediately swooped down towards the ice-deep mire. The Demon Mammoth threw a round of aerial bombs and beat the dog in the water without hesitation.

When the imperial officials on the watchtower were happily admiring the beautiful scenery, the Marquis of Ryan Grant suddenly remembered something, and asked stupidly:

"Well, the 'Hercules' that Lord Guillaume brought from the Valley of Molten Fire, are there still a few pieces left?"

With a word that awakened the dreamer, Xia Houyan and Grand Duke Rosario looked at each other in awe.

"After today, no one in this tower will be able to go to heaven." Grand Duke Rosario smacked his lips.
