Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 434 The Miracle of Life

Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe camp.

"Everyone, what you are seeing is perhaps the cruelest weapon of war that has ever appeared in the history of the Haven Continent. It comes from the day and night research and development work of the great craftsmen in Molten Valley. It is the wisdom and perseverance of the human race. , the crystallization of evil and tyranny, they will always be with hell, they will always be with the devil—"

Xia Houyan stretched out his middle finger to push his big MacArthur-style sunglasses, then gestured to the three "big pillars" behind him with his white-gloved hand, and continued loudly:
"Everyone, this is the 'Hercules' strategic missile!"

The audience in front of the lord heard the words in awe, only Master Laurie picked his nostrils with his fingers.

This group of Frost Maple Ridge scum who have been on the front line of the Tumu Fortress, of course, have seen the prestige of this imperial secret weapon for a long time-not to mention, the giant mushroom cloud that suddenly rose from the orc camp on the other side of the canyon yesterday afternoon, Everyone can still vividly remember it.

Xia Houyan clapped his hands and explained to the boys:

"A total of six 'Hercules' were sent to Molten Valley this time, three of which were used up in yesterday's test firing, but there was something wrong with the last one... Ahem, you all know that .In short, the only three 'Hercules' remaining on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon are here. According to the opinion of the imperial military, since the orcs have already started to attack, we will give all the remaining three shots to the orcs Try it!"

Sean Mountbatten immediately narrowed his eyes:
"Fire the remaining three ''Hercules' towards the federal camp...I have no objection. But Grand Duke Rosario and General Grant asked you to bring these three 'Hercules' to our Frost Maple Ridge camp... ...and what is the intention?"

"The regular army doesn't want to get their hands dirty." The lord succinctly said, "This thing is too powerful. Even in the process of research and development, its strategic positioning is a deterrent weapon—because there are some 'devout' religious people in the upper echelons of the empire, It would be a betrayal of faith in the benevolent Holy Spirit to think that such a weapon of massacre would actually be put on the battlefield."

There was a burst of snorting from the audience.

——As we all know, the belief in the Holy Spirit has always been not very popular among the aliens in Shuangfengling.

"So, the imperial army dare not bear the infamy of 'human genocide'. But we are different..." Xia Houyan smacked his lips, "...According to our 'dear' General Ryan Grant,' Those wilderness bandits in Shuangfeng Ridge are masters who kill people like hemp and blaspheme gods and ancestors'... So, leave the dirty work of throwing the remaining three 'Hercules' to the remaining orc camps, and leave it to us Yi Gore family."

There was silence.

"Let, let us put these three 'Hercules' in Frost Maple Ridge?!" Alice Comstock said, her eyes widening.

——The captain of the female guard of the Igor family was still victorious in the martial arts arena during the day, and at night, she led a group of family guards to the wall of the civil castle to help the imperial army resist the attack of the ice demon mammoth. After the troops were withdrawn, before they had a few sips of water, they were called back to the camp by the lord to attend the family meeting, but they were still in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue.

The female swordsman's outstanding mental and physical strength immediately made all the strong men in Shuangfengling feel ashamed and embarrassed. Of course, there were also a few wretches who cast a pitiful look at the old waist of the lord.

This obscene look was obviously not noticed by Isa Sandria beside the lord.

Because of the stigmata, the countess has frowned deeply:
"Eliott, if you listened to General Grant and really threw these three 'Hercules' into the orc camp - you will definitely be famous on the continent as a bloody war executioner and recorded in the annals of history!"

"Simply seen by the world, reputation and fame, have these ever been important to us in Shuangfengling?" Xia Houyan waved his hands loudly, "What's more, my reputation in the empire can be said to be in full swing now, what effect will it have if I do a little bit of immorality? Brothers, tell me, how do people in Haiwen mainland praise me now?"

There were sparse responses from the crowd:
"The butcher of the wasteland!" "The fly of good luck!" "The monster of the Igor family!" "The nightmare of the noblewoman of the imperial capital!"

"Didn't many people call me 'the savior of the mainland' and 'the light of imperial culture' before?" Xia Houyan was very angry.

"Only one tabloid in the imperial capital called you that... not long after this issue was published, that tabloid closed down..." Chris Mann reminded in a low voice, "...Thinking about it now, it should be those It is a sensational marketing method used by unscrupulous media people to try to save the newspaper before it is about to close down."

Xia Houyan cursed silently.

"All in all, do you really intend to follow the arrangement of the imperial military and be responsible for throwing these three 'Hercules' to the orc camp?" Among the young horses, only Sean Mountbatten, chief of staff of Frost Maple Ridge, paid attention to the business, "Have you thought about it? ?”

"If you don't throw it for nothing, who doesn't love fireworks during the Chinese New Year?" Xia Houyan laughed, "I'm afraid you don't know, in my hometown, someone even threw a bigger 'firecracker'. You can still 'maintain peace' everywhere under the banner of freedom with peace of mind! Small things! They are all small things!"

Sean Mountbatten blinked, for he didn't remember when a weapon of mass destruction had been detonated near Eagle's Rest in the lord's 'home'.

"But although throwing is to throw, how to throw and how many to throw is the real knowledge." Xia Houyan blinked slyly.

"'Throw a few'..." Sean Mountbatten's expression turned serious, "...these three 'Hercules' missiles, don't you plan to use them all?"

"Since the idiot General Grant has handed over these three big killers to me, our Igor family will be sorry for the big eagle on the family emblem if we don't scrape a layer of oil!" Xia Houyan sneered, "At that time we will only Throw two, and smuggle the third one back to the Land of Broken Soul for reverse engineering, and we will imitate it ourselves! ——At that time, I will make every siege weapon in Shuangfengling throw a fission device!"

"The military gave us three, but if we actually use two, it's difficult for General Grant to explain?" Chris Mann asked cautiously.

Xia Houyan pinched his chin and muttered:
"The artisans and magicians from our family who came with the team worked overtime tonight, and quickly produced a fake one—it doesn't need to be able to explode, as long as it can fly! At that time, we will use two real ones and one fake one. , the remaining one is really hidden and transported away! When someone asks, let’s say that the quality of the three 'Hercules' in Molten Valley is not up to standard, and there is a dud in it... makes sense, right?"

Sean Mountbatten gave a wordless thumbs up.

"To be honest, if it wasn't for being able to buy a 'Hercules' back to the territory, the idiot would be working for Grant, the bastard!" Xia Houyan rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with a smile, "Those who are here now, you But they are all high-ranking family members, so please keep this matter secret! This lord does not want to see your names on the report of the Shuangfengling Military Statistics Bureau!"

The crowd was awe-inspiring.

Sean Mountbatten carefully looked at the three strategic weapons behind the lord, turned his head and asked:
"My lord, has the military agreed with you, when will the bomb be dropped?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." Xia Houyan took the pipe from Chris and took a sip, "And to be precise, it is not a 'bomb', but a 'crystal'—'Hercules' is guided by magic rhythm Yes, as long as we find a way to place the magic crystal engraved with a specific magic rhythm in the orc camp, 'Hercules' can be launched remotely from the side of the civil castle."

"So our job in Shuangfengling is to shoot the magic crystal to the target point?" Everyone suddenly realized after hearing this.

No wonder the imperial military insisted on letting Shuangfengling take charge of launching the "Hercules": there was no other reason, it was because the Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe had a special siege weapon with a range that surpassed that of the entire continent "3000"!
The biggest advantage of this wasteland special military product modified by Master Nicholson lies in the range and accuracy of the launch-although including the "kill you 3000", no continental weapon can project conventional ammunition into the Far across the Burning Crystal Canyon, but if the projectiles were replaced with smaller, lighter magic crystals...

Maybe "Kill Your Life 3000" can really do this job!
"So, the master craftsmen will be troubled, find a 'kill you 3000' and modify it properly, and make it suitable for launching small objects." Xia Houyan snapped his fingers with a pipe in his mouth, "At the same time, we must also do a good job. Secondary preparations - if there is no way to shoot the magic crystal directly into the orc camp, then we may have to send a special agent team to sneak across the canyon and artificially place the magic crystal."

Everyone in Shuangfengling already had a lot of experience in similar covert operations, so they naturally responded.

"Right now, the orc's central camp has been blown to nothing by that unlucky test bomb, but the remaining four camps are still operating as usual." Xia Houyan walked to the map table and lit it with his hand. The area on the east side of Crystal Canyon, "Our target is initially set as the Glorious Federation East Camp. According to the usual practice, it should be the main storage place for orc siege weapons, ammunition, and food."

"If we can blow up another orc camp..." Sean Mountbatten licked his lips.

"...The empire will have a chance to recapture the Burning Crystal Canyon, and the front line of Yongri City will be safe." Xia Houyan took a deep breath and smiled, "My lords, victory is in sight!"

"If you think so... General Virgil, who went to the orc camp to negotiate yesterday but was unfortunately affected, may also rest in peace..." Master Laurie shook his head and sighed.

"...Who is General Virgil?" Xia Houyan didn't remember for a while.

……

The fine steel blade of the Federation-style long sword made a crisp sound when it touched the charred rubble.

The beast officer carefully withdrew the long sword, and pulled it on the other side of the body for a long time, but also failed to find anything that could recognize its true face in this devastation.

"Master!" He shouted desperately to the old shaman next to him, "How can we find anything of value here? The big explosion yesterday has already razed this central camp to the ground!"

"Keep looking, young man." The old shaman sighed wearily, but continued to walk deeper into the ruins with his cane, "Searching for the ruins is a task assigned by the warlord, we just need to carry it out—— What's more, what if one or two survivors can be found?"

The orc officer agreed dully, and followed the old shaman to the center of the ruins in a dejected manner.

This orc officer, like all the other federal orcs on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, has not recovered from yesterday's shocking incident - he was patrolling the periphery of the eastern camp when he suddenly heard a deafening sound There was a loud noise, and the whole person was thrown to the ground by the sudden strong wind pressure.

And when he stood up and looked back, all he saw was a huge fireball rising and expanding in the federal central camp, and a giant mushroom cloud that rose into the sky and communicated with the world.

It was not until yesterday evening that the situation report was officially distributed to all the orc officers of the "Dragon Flame Legion": the central barracks on the front line of the Federation Burning Crystal Canyon had been destroyed in a sudden explosion, and the only clue about the explosion was Yes, before the explosion, there were frontline sentries who witnessed a mysterious flying object from the opposite side of the canyon flying towards the central camp...

Along with the situation briefing, there was also an order from General Omar Setting Sun, the head of the "Dragon Flame Legion":
It is preliminarily judged that the explosion was made by the humans of the empire, and the entire army is on the first level of combat readiness, and immediately launches a counterattack to the other side of the canyon!
Unfortunately, this orc officer who was full of enthusiasm and had nowhere to pour out was not assigned to join the revenge action of the ice demon mammoth swarm last night, but was sent to the ruins of the central military camp to search for the remnants together with the old orc shaman casualties and supplies.

Of course, it is clear in the hearts of all orcs that there can be nothing left here:
Yesterday's big explosion was so powerful that even the well-informed chief shaman of the entire army, Master Kane, was dumbfounded in fright—under such circumstances, there probably wouldn't be any orcs in the central military camp survived.

God damn human beings from the empire... The orc officer gritted his teeth fiercely and kicked away a large piece of charcoal in front of him.

Then, his eyes straightened.

Because, with this kick, a touch of blue appeared in the dark rubble all over the ground—a bright color that should never appear in this ruined area.

The beast officer was stunned for a while, and then woke up like a dream, and called the old shaman over at the top of his voice.

The old and the young, armed with swords and walking sticks, dug through the ruins, and finally dug out the things buried in the ruins——

To their great shock, it turned out to be a middle-aged elf—an elf warrior in blue armor!

The elven warrior was still breathing weakly, but unconsciously, his stern face was completely polluted by burn marks, and his skin was almost completely broken, revealing the frightening scarlet flesh; only the gorgeous armor on the elven warrior , still stubbornly implying the noble identity of the master.

"Big...Master!" the orc officer screamed, "How is this possible?! Who is this?! How...how did he survive the explosion?!"

"The miracle of life." The old shaman muttered to himself, gently rubbing the inscription on the elf warrior's blue armor, "Believe it or not..."

The old shaman's dead-twig-like fingers brushed across the chest of the unconscious elf warrior, pushed aside a few shattered fragments of the magic crystal, and picked up a silver pendant that was only in half from the cold metal breastplate.

"This is some kind of protective magic item..." the old shaman stared at the damaged pendant, and said softly, "...the quality is so high that it is rare in the whole continent. If it wasn't for it, this elf would probably be dead without a trace. The place of burial. And, young man, if I'm not mistaken, this is probably someone from Eternal Sun City..."

"People from Eternal Sun City?" The orc officer opened his mouth wide, "How could an Eternal Sun City elf appear in the ruins of our army's central barracks?"

"I don't know." The old shaman stood up and heaved a sigh of relief, "Young man, go and inform the general, saying that we found a survivor in the ruins of the central military camp. I have a hunch that this elf... ...will matter."
