Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 442 The front is tight, the rear is tight

"...Elliott came to the wasteland, respected Houston's listener,

I met the emperor on Augustus Day that day, and I talked to you in the imperial capital.

Speaking of elves, your expression is uncertain. I guess you must have a trick in your heart.

Now that I have brought troops to look for you, why don't we meet and close the door instead?

I advise you to admit your crime is the right thing to do, and you won’t be able to regret it when disaster strikes..."

On the stage, the Shuangfengling actor who played the role of the Duke of Shuangfengling, wearing an obviously out-of-standard scarlet flying eagle panlong robe, flicked his water sleeves, and with the increasingly passionate sound of the lute and porcupine skin, he slapped the actor next to him. The actor of the Grand Duke of Houston fell to the ground, which immediately aroused bursts of applause from the audience.

"Good singing!" Xia Houyan took a sip of the small pot of Shuangfengling specialty cedar tea, and applauded loudly, "Reward!"

Immediately, the dog-legged Eldridge took out a medal of "Shuangfengling People's Artist" from his arms, and presented it to the actor on behalf of the lord, and won a burst of gratitude.

"My lord..." Master Molière, the leader of the wandering mages in Lianhualing, who was watching the play with Xia Houyan, looked at the leisurely Xiahou official, his face was a little tangled, "The civil castle is still desperately resisting The orcs are attacking, but we are drinking tea and watching a play here at Elm Castle... Isn't it inappropriate?"

At that time, the trolls, sub-orcs, human traitors, and blood elves in the Federation Servant Division were still sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, covered with quilts. They were stunned by a group of heavenly soldiers and generals who came from nowhere. He stormed into the division's camp overnight, captured several blood elf commanders of the division in an instant, and then tied up all the soldiers in the division as prisoners in one fell swoop.

Originally, he didn't want his hard-earned family property to be buried with the regular imperial army. It was actually a good thing to leave the front line of the civil fort like a meat grinder as soon as possible—he was even prepared. So I sent people to the other side of the canyon to find the orcs and chat about the old relationship between Greer Ravenwhisper and the great chief, and returned home with the Frost Maple Ridge Art Troupe unscathed!
But, the lord of Shuangfengling is born with a restless temper.

Master Molière was dumbfounded: he always felt that there was something wrong with the Lord Lord's logic, but he couldn't tell.

According to the scouts, as soon as they approached Elm Castle, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Frost Maple Ridge elf shooters and magic guard towers from the city leaders—however, the Frost Maple Ridge people in Elm Castle not only did not stop them, they even sent A few light cavalry who were full of nonsense like "Haiwen National Unity" led them into the city!

Fortifications were not made of diamonds, they would have been worn out and destroyed by fighting and bombing.Originally, the Imperial Army hoped to take advantage of the ceasefire period to completely repair and strengthen the fortification clusters on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, but this precious window period was wiped out because of the unlucky "Hercules".

The most disappointing thing for the commander of the Federation Servant Division was that one of the sub-orc scouts sent this time was a fox female soldier. As soon as she arrived at Elm Castle, she was taken by the guards to meet Shuangfengling. Lord Elliot Igor, the Duke—while the other federal scouts were drinking and watching the show, this female soldier stayed in the Duke's tent and did not show up.

For this arrangement, Xia Houyan is happy to see it succeed:

Even at the most critical juncture of the war, the federal army's attack on Fort Elm was only symbolic, and General Omar Setting Sun arranged to be in charge of the surrounding area of ​​Fort Elm was an inconspicuous federal servant division.

This is indeed reasonable, Master Molière nodded in agreement.

Because there is an almost insurmountable mountain behind Fort Elm, and this fort was only used by the Empire as a reconnaissance facility, with little special military value. Therefore, the federal orcs on the other side of the canyon never took this place as their main attack direction;

After listening to the reports of the scouts, the blood elf commanders of the servant division were ashen-faced, and they were as depressed as if the business was booming. The Blue Bird Talisman was cut off overnight by the big daddy Musk. money.

"Besides, it was Ryan Grant, that bastard who drove us to Elm Castle, and their regular army stayed in Tumu Castle to fight alone, that's what they asked for!" Xia Houyan waved his hand, "And we, Shuangfengling, are here It's not that I didn't contribute to the war, now that the work is done, isn't it normal to take a rest and relax!"

——According to rumors, the reason why the Glorious Federation has not gone all out to take down the civil fortress until now, like a cat playing with a mouse, is purely because it is waiting to dispatch troops:

The soldiers of the Federation Servant Division, who experienced the transformation from free man to captive to free man overnight, were still in a daze until the next morning, completely unaware of what the situation was:
I've heard of military exercises, but I've never heard of those who forcibly use real enemy troops as props for exercises! ! !
But soon, the federal servant division opposite Fort Elm, and other federal troops around reached a consensus:
Recently, a fierce man led a group of strong men into Fort Elm!Their strength is extremely strong, their methods are extremely cruel, and their brains are extremely sick...

"Forget it..." Master Molière replied with difficulty—to be honest, if he hadn't surrendered to Shuangfengling a few months ago, they, the group of wandering mages in Lianhualing who didn't even pay taxes, probably really couldn't do it. A citizen of the Empire.

Just when the commander of the servant division decided that these scouts must have been captured by the defenders of Fort Elm, sentenced to death by the devilish Lord Elliott Igor, and were about to register their death information, these scouts The sub-orc scouts actually appeared at the gate of the servant division's camp again——

Therefore, even though the lord has been drinking tea, watching theatre, fishing and drying the net these days, the people of Shuangfengling, including Master Molière, really have nothing to say to remonstrate:
Because the Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe really has nothing to do now!
Unlike Fort Elm, which is young and harmonious, the civil fort in the south has been suffering from the fierce attack of the federal orcs. At that time, there was no way to fight back, just like a big wild waiting to be killed on the chopping board because of!

—and drunk.

"Is it to... let the people of the empire live a better life?" Master Molière replied in a ignorant manner.

Half a month ago, the Shuangfengling Labor Army Art Troupe officially entered the "Em Castle" located at the northernmost defense line of the Burning Crystal Canyon.

——It is precisely because the value of Fort Elm is too low that the Marquis of Lane Grant drove the Frost Maple Ridge Labor Art Troupe here to garrison, and the meaning of "distribution to the frontier" is very obvious:

It wasn't until the next day when they were about to return that the fox girl scout arrived late, and the first sentence they met was:
"Go back to the camp and report to the head of the division. I am going to stay in Elm Castle and serve the great, glorious, and correct Elliot Igor for the rest of my life!"

"What's wrong with this?" Xia Houyan said with a smile, "Master Molière, you have received a lot of political education these days, so let me ask you: we Shuangfengling people, and all the regular imperial troops, What is the reason for throwing your head and blood and fighting to the death on the front line?"

After leading the army into Elm Castle, he first ordered the craftsmen of Frost Maple Ridge to repair the dilapidated and dilapidated old fortress;
Then, he took the initiative to attack with his gang of Frost Maple Ridge thugs who were idle all day long, and beat up the Federation Servant Division stationed on the opposite side of the canyon.

Once the troops behind the Glorious Federation are assembled and make up for the losses suffered by the "Dragon Flame Legion" in several bombings, then this group of brutal green-skinned orcs will mobilize their entire army and send troops to the canyon to break through the civil fortress and lay down the land in one fell swoop. Eternal Sun City, finally entered the imperial capital, hung His Majesty Basil III on the street lamp!
——However, even the current tentative attacks of the Glorious Federation, the civil castle is a bit overwhelmed.

"Since we are also the people of the empire, and the goal of this war is to make the people of the empire live a better life—then is there any problem if we hurry up and live a better life here?" Xia Houyan shrugged.

The main theme of the speech of "Empire Frost Maple Ridge Duke Elliot Igor" is:
From today, our Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe will officially enter the Elm Castle opposite you, please know!
However, we wastelanders have always been peace-loving and friendly to our neighbors. This time we came to garrison Elm Castle with olive branches greener than your hats!

According to the scouts, during the whole process, the Frost Maple Ridge garrison in Castle Elm not only did nothing to them, but they were also extremely warm and friendly-if they didn't run fast this morning, the man named "Ke The Frost Maple Ridge officer of "Reese Mann" even forced them to return to the camp with large boxes and small boxes of Frost Maple Ridge specialties, "for the dear allies of the Federation to try something new"!

The current situation is that although the Imperial Army can barely repel every attack of the Federation, the fortifications under their feet are inevitably sliding to collapse:
If things go on like this, one day, the entire Burning Crystal Canyon defense line will fall apart in an understatement firepower test by the orcs!

What stunned and puzzled this group of lower class people the most was that the young human noble who led the army to capture them not only did not cut off their heads or sell them to the slave market of the empire.

—Don't mess with him!Don't mess with him!Don't mess with him!
In the next few days, the federal soldiers in the Servant Division were on the alert, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be beaten up by the imperial lunatics in Fort Elm and tied up to make rice dumplings—the ghost knew that Elliott Will Lord Igor, on a whim, use them as props to conduct some shitty "military exercises"!
As a result, the soldiers of the Servant Division waited left and right, but did not wait for Lord Elliot Igor's devilish blade, but instead waited for an even more inexplicable "Fort Elm Frontline Cultural Festival":
On December 25th, the Imperial Elm Fort across the canyon from the Servant Division camp was decorated with lights and its doors were wide open. At the end of the northern end, the enthusiasm is shining with colorful and dazzling magic light, which is completely like a mirage, not like the scene here.

Instead, the young nobleman escorted them all to the square of the division camp, and then delivered a speech to the group of federal prisoners.

In order to confirm the enemy's situation, the commander of the Federation Servant Division gritted his teeth and sent a few brave sub-orc scouts to the other side of the canyon to find out.

"Then let me ask you again—" Xia Houyan took another sip of hot tea, "—are we considered part of the people of the empire?"

As a result, the scouts sent out seemed to disappear, and they did not return until noon the next day.

Undoubtedly, after the big fight with the Xiahou officials, the Marquis Grant never wanted to see these wilderness writers playing and singing all day long.

Then, they watched the Shuangfengling model opera in the city mesmerized all night, and they were drunk by the stalwart soldiers of Shuangfengling with dwarven spirits until ten o'clock in the morning the next day. After sobering up, I returned to the camp to report the enemy's situation.

The final result is that, since then, all the Burning Crystal Canyon Federation troops, including this Federation Servant Division, simply closed their eyes and pretended that Fort Elm did not exist—anyway, this place has no strategic value, But if you accidentally offend the famous "Bloodthorn City Killer" Master Elliot Igor, then you will live too long and live too long!

Our Shuangfengling raid on your division camp this time is a deterrent exercise conducted by Shuangfengling to maintain peace!In this exercise, your obvious slow response and failure to effectively resist the enemy's surprise attack showed serious shortcomings in intelligence and training!I hope that you will continue to work hard in the future to continuously improve your military and political literacy, and do not disappoint the cultivation of your glorious Federation Chief and His Excellency the Grand Commander!
——After delivering this inexplicable speech, the Lord "Empire Frost Maple Ridge Duke Elliot Igor" actually ordered someone to untie them, and then returned with his group of terrifying Frost Maple Ridge thugs Fort Elm.

From the beginning to the end, the people from Shuangfengling who waved their sleeves did not take away even a single cloud.

The Elm Castle in the north and the Civil Fort in the south, the two imperial fortresses that belong to the defense line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, seem to live in two worlds, and the division of their circumstances is like BJ folding.

Because of the critical situation, even though Frost Maple Ridge and the Marquis of Grant did not deal with it, the Grand Duke Rosario still sent letters to Elm Castle over and over again, asking Lord Frost Maple Ridge to attack the federal camp east of the canyon as much as possible. Relieve some stress for the direction of Tumubao.

For these requests from the old friend of the people of Frost Maple Ridge——Grand Duke Graham Rosario, the official Xiahou, who is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in Elm Castle, generally handles these requests by staying in the middle and pretending not to see them.

It wasn't until December 31st that a condolence group from the territory came all the way from Shuangfengling, the land of broken souls, that the lord finally changed his mind.
