Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 451 Chapter [-]
The captured blood elves were escorted by the soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge, and boarded the car in desperation to go to Elm Castle.

With a cigar in his mouth, Xia Houyan squinted his eyes and watched them go all the way.

"These blood elves seem to be the so-called 'lawbreakers', a unit specially trained by the Protectorate of the Blood Shadow Elves to be magicians." Knight Commander Cousins ​​stood beside the lord, reminding him, "My lord , do you really intend to let these elf captives help us fight?"

"It's a waste if someone doesn't need it." Xia Houyan exhaled a puff of smoke ring, "Besides, these blood elves are no better than orcs. They don't have any faith or loyalty in their hearts, and they have a proper three-family nature... Three-surname house slaves! 'Apocalypse' chariot What I am most afraid of is the power of the elements, and with the help of the 'Spellbreaker' to deal with the enemy's shamans and magicians, I feel at ease."

Captain Cousins ​​touched his bald head:

"I'm just afraid that they will be dishonest..."

"We can send the gendarmerie to supervise these blood elves at any time, and give them a good political lesson in "This Is the Empire"!" Xia Houyan kicked the clods on the ground with his boots, bitterly said, "Mother Xipi... ...If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough quota, it would be easy to beat these people to death and resurrect them..."

Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​nodded in agreement without chivalry.

Of course, as a senior employee of Shuangfengling, he noticed a detail very sensitively:
Among the captive blood elf lawbreakers, there are quite a few young and beautiful blood elf girls who have been secretly winking at this place since the Lord Lord arrived——

——Knight Commander Cousins ​​felt from the bottom of his heart that if the lord could "sleep" and subdue these blood elf girls himself, it would be more effective than political lessons like "This Is the Empire".

Then, as if in a flash of inspiration, he noticed a somewhat eye-catching place name in the middle of this intricate pile of documents about rations, ammunition, and army deployment.

"What's the matter?" Xia Houyan raised his head from his desk, and looked at his captain of the female guard with a half-smile, "Do you want us to send troops south to save Duke Rosario's life?"

Xia Houyan laughed, and followed Alice into the tent without looking back:
"Since I dare to have them, I'm not afraid of them! Let them be on duty!"

Another: After shooting down the Dragon Knight, our division fought with unknown number of Imperial Griffin Air Cavalry units from 290.124.445.015 to 290.128.445.031, and shot down most of them.During this battle, the shamans of our division suffered heavy losses, so they did not go deep into the empire's borders to pursue and wipe out the remnants of the enemy.I hope you approve the transfer of more than [-] shaman priests to supplement our losses.

A little farther away, a large number of captives from the servant division formed a team, and under the escort of the soldiers of Shuangfengling, they also went to the west of the canyon-according to the plan, these captives will be handed over to Luo in Tumu Fortress. Grand Duke Sario handles it.

Xia Houyan took off a heavy two-handed axe from the wall, and swung it casually a few times, almost dodging his waist—a heavy weapon suitable for an orc's body is obviously not something a human magician can handle.

……

Of course, Knight Commander Cousins ​​did not mention this with interest—because he saw that Alice Comstock had finished handling matters related to the captives and returned to the lord with light steps.

"Then let's leave the direction of the Tumu Castle alone?" Alice tilted her head curiously, her golden silk-like hair fell from her shoulders, reflecting the candlelight in the tent, "I heard Master Laurie and the others say , the battle situation between Grand Duke Rosario and Marquis Grant is not optimistic."

The female swordsman blushed, bit her lip and stopped talking, and didn't dare to say anything else for a while.

In addition, most of the space in the entire tent was occupied by large and small wooden boxes and iron boxes, as well as desks full of documents and books.

"No - to me, only you are important, Elliott, you are what you say." Alice shook her head lightly, and then gave the lord a dissatisfied look, "But I'm just afraid, Once the civil fort is lost and the orc army marches straight in and captures Yongsun City, some people will start to worry about the safety of the elf queen..."

[Totem Frenzy Division Document No. 995302010]

The soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge lit the torches, held up the lighting crystals, and tirelessly sorted out the spoils of the battle. On the issue of making war fortunes, the Igor family can be regarded as a model: the armed forces of the entire Frost Maple Ridge Like the lord, they all belong to the dog, and they will not let go if they bite.

Although, like other federal documents, this paper is full of scribbled orc characters, but fortunately, the lord, as a nobleman, has learned the middle orc language in the academy for a period of time, so he can read it without any hindrance. Contents on it:

Alice snorted, and then murmured something in a low voice - it seemed to fall into Xia Houyan's ears, "I'm not your leader, and I saw how polite you were when you slept with her."

——Your allegiance, Head of the Totem Frenzy Division: Lothar Hawkeye
【Commitment】

Unlike ordinary camp tents, which use wood and steel as the basic skeleton, the one located in the middle of General Lothar Hawkeye’s tent and supporting the entire tent is an extremely thick wooden totem pole: on the surface of the totem pole, made by federal craftsmen Various abstract figures are carved and painted with bright colors, which looks very gaudy.

Although the soldiers repeatedly assured the lord that they had carefully inspected the surroundings of General Hawkeye's tent and determined that there was no danger, Alice was still worried, and went into the tent to look through it herself before coming out to nod to the lord. Safe to sleep in.

The poverty and backwardness of the Glorious Federation and the integrity of the high-ranking military officers of the Federation made Xia Houyan feel overwhelmed.

According to the information, our division has successfully shot down a wind-type silver dragon and its knights in the area of ​​Fallen Dragon Mountain in the Yongri Mountains.The specific Gosas coordinates are: 290.123.445.017.Preliminary judgment shows that the target is indeed Baron Wolfgang, the Dragon Knight "Son of the Wind" belonging to the Human Empire, and the target of "Operation Valkyrie" has been completed, please give instructions.

And the large animal skin tent located in the center of the "Totem Frenzy" camp is supposed to be the residence of division commander Lothar Hawkeye—of course, since Ya is dead, this tent will also be destroyed. The officials of Xiahou rushed to make a temporary palace without hesitation.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the tent, Xia Houyan was shocked by the strong orc style in the room.

The guards looked at each other, and some hesitated to say:
"But... my lord, those people just surrendered after all, will it be against you..."

"Eliott, we have occupied this Qingfeng Castle, where are we going next?" Probably seeing that the lord is in a bad mood, Alice deliberately changed the subject, "Do you want to continue marching south? ?”

Congratulations on completing the task, please lead your troops to retreat eastward into our occupied area to avoid possible human counterattacks and regroup.When the time is right, your troops will be approved to go to Burning Crystal Canyon to participate in the battle.As for the shaman matter, the front line is tense and the personnel are limited, so we can't dispatch it temporarily. Please understand.

Although Shuangfengling has fought against powerful enemies of the Federation many times in the past year, this is the first time that Xia Houyan has entered the general tent of the orc army—no way, the camp of "Hammer of Purgatory" is directly in the red camp. The river valley was turned into white ground, and the "Pride of the God of War" was indeed wiped out, but the Frost Maple Ridge Expeditionary Army was defending the temple, and they were also unable to get their hands on it.

"His Majesty Anya is not our leader of Shuangfengling, why does the lord care about her!" He sternly patted the pile of documents on General Hawkeye's desk, "I told you a long time ago, except Egg Guys other than the leaders of the Er family have nothing to do with me!"

Dear High Commander Dalton Wakemar:

Alice let out an "oh" and puffed up her mouth slightly.

Xia Houyan quickly cleared his throat.

The bed of General Lothar Hawkeye only occupied a small corner in this huge tent.The Shuangfengling guards had laid out new sheets and bedding for the lord to sleep in, but through the corner of the sheets, Xia Houyan could still see the skull decorations inlaid on the wooden bed.

This battle was fought in such a hurry that the camps of the "Totem Frenzy" division and the servant division even remained the same, but the people went to the empty houses, and the magpie's nest happened to be occupied by the Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe stranded on the east side of the canyon. , Used for temporary overnight stay.

Xia Houyan pulled out this document from the pile of old papers, squinted and scanned it.

——If General Lothar Hawkeye, who has already mourned, if there is a spirit under the well, I am afraid that he will realize with grief that this kind of feudal superstition is wrong.

"Alice, don't worry, Your Majesty Anya is not as skilled as you!" Xia Houyan coughed dryly twice and smiled.

As for the inner wall of the tent, there are large and small swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Every weapon shone with a bloody cold light and was full of brutal orc temperament. It is undoubtedly not an ornament in the sacrificial ceremony, but It is a killer weapon that has really been on the battlefield.

Before entering the tent, Xia Houyan smiled at the surrounding guards and ordered:
"You don't need to be on duty here at night. You have worked hard today. Go back and get a good night's sleep. Just find a few people from the federal prisoners who have just surrendered to us in Shuangfengling to guard the gate for me."

After finally coaxing the captain of his own guard, Xia Houyan heaved a sigh of relief, then lowered his head, and continued to concentrate on looking at the military documents that General Lothar Hawkeye had not had time to sort out before his death.

After handing the ax to Alice, Xia Houyan casually opened several boxes in the tent:
To his great disappointment, the box did not contain the gold and silver treasures and magic props he was expecting. There were only tons and tons of books, clothes, and self-produced armor of the Federation that were not of high quality and cheap at first glance.

After sending away Commander Cousins, Xiahouyan used shroud-level light magic to summon a ball of light to illuminate himself, and then walked leisurely towards the east camp with Alice on the messy ground. go.

Next to Lothar Hawkeye's tent, there were already many soldiers in charge of searching the camp area patrolling.Seeing the lord coming, the boys hurriedly stood at attention and saluted the boss.

【Burn After Reading】

According to the tradition of the orcs, the images drawn on the totem poles are probably the ancestors of the Hawkeye tribe to which General Lothar Hawkeye belongs: the federal orcs and the villains in the novels of pretending to face the face and cultivating immortals all believe that these ancestors of the same family can Bless future generations to turn danger into good luck and turn danger into safety.

Xia Houyan sneered as he walked towards the desk of General Lothar Hawkeye:
"My lord, building a Green Maple Fort and killing a reserve team of the Glorious Federation, is enough to give face to the regular army of the Empire! Unless they give us a hard enough price, Shuangfengling will not help them fight in vain. work!"

The moon was in the middle of the sky, but the surroundings of Qingfeng Castle were still brightly lit.

"...Not for now." Xia Houyan closed an iron box full of low-quality lighting crystals in despair, and sighed, "This 'Totem Frenzy' division is too far away from the main battlefield in the direction of the Tumu Fort, so we can easily handle it. If we really head south, we will inevitably encounter the main force of the orcs—by then, our 2000 people will not be able to please us."

It seems that finding the batch of "Fourier's Transformation Armor" from the "Hammer of Purgatory" division was destined to be a rare good luck.

—Dalton Wakemar

……

After reading this document, Xia Houyan let out a long breath.

Then, he raised his head with a smile, and asked loudly to his female guard captain:

"Alice, when we are free later, do you want to go for a ride with me on the Undead Bone Dragon?"
