Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 463 The Day of Harvest
After the roar of the dragon sounded high in the sky, Dalton Wakemar's convoy fell into a moment of confusion and confusion.

The convoy responsible for escorting the federal commander to Shanchagang is composed of elite soldiers from the "Desolation Watch" division of the Glorious Federation guarding Thorn City—this ancient federal designation has been used since ancient times when Thorn City changed hands. It has been born, and for hundreds of years has been the Dinghaishenzhen representing the orc clan sitting in Thorn City and facing off against human soldiers on the bloody front;

A fact that is sufficient to prove the strategic position of the "Desolate Watch" division is that since the beginning of the sixth human-orc war, no matter whether the fronts of the two countries moved west or east, the "Desolate Watch" Chinese army has never Apart from this ancient city, its elite soldiers have never participated in the battle on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon——

——The Glorious Federation's positioning of "Desolate Watch" has always been the Imperial Guard in the Imperial Guard, and the reserve in the Reserve is a sword that must be hidden deep in the box and cannot be shown in glory. The above mystery that can never be unraveled is an important existence that can still influence the balance of victory even if it is left to play at the last moment of the battle.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the lofty responsibilities of "Desolation Watch", that the orc soldiers from this honor division also showed the highest response speed on the mainland.

The chaos caused by the roar of the giant dragon only lasted for three seconds in this escort team composed of [-] hoplites and [-] elite Frostwolf cavalry, and then disappeared.

Amidst the muffled sound of the yak horn blown by the captain of the convoy, the "Flesh and Blood" modified car that Dalton Wakemar and several federal adjutants were riding in suddenly stopped in place, and three hundred heavy The infantrymen held high the stainless steel hole shields, and quickly formed an elliptical formation around the car of the federal commander, firmly guarding the latter in the center;

As for the Frostwolf cavalry who had been marching on both sides of the convoy, they quickly withdrew to the rear of the convoy, and did not stop until they were about 400 meters away from the car of the federal commander-once any enemy attacking the convoy appeared, all of them would be killed. The sprinting distance set aside was just enough to ensure that the Frostwolf cavalry could hit the incoming enemy head-on with the fastest speed and the strongest impact.

Just the instant reaction and choice of these escorting soldiers has fully revealed the abundant military tradition of the Federation orcs:

If it is changed to a convoy of a member of the imperial family of the same status as Dalton Wakemar—such as His Majesty Basil III—then the only ones who follow and attend his convoy, except for a team dressed in "Italy" In addition to the impressive combat power of the Royal Guard of the "Pyrus Death Armor", there will be more servants who only know flattery, high-level "knights" who have not touched a sword for more than 20 years, and a group of fat-headed "knights" who will only fight in times of crisis. Fucking human nobles.

On the contrary, when Commander Dalton Wakemar went on a tour, even though the destination and the passing area were within the safe range controlled by the Glorious Federation, there were still a few elite guards, and the insignificant entourage and The jester does not have a belt - although this is to prevent the sneak attack of the human resistance organization in the occupied area, it is also due to the unpretentious and simple style of the federal orcs and the militant nature of the military as their home.

As the soldiers of the convoy set up their defensive lines, Commander Dalton Wakemar poked his head out of the car window.

"What happened?" The supreme leader of the federal military force frowned and asked, "What was the sound just now?"

"I don't know either..." The captain of the "Desolation Watch" who was the captain of the convoy shook his head while waving to an orc soldier, urging him to quickly help Mr. Datong put on his helmet.

In fact, not only was Dalton Wakemar in the carriage confused about the situation, but even the team captain himself, who had been riding his horse at the forefront of the team, was equally confused at the moment:
The cry that came from high above the sky just now was not only shrill and sharp, but also clear and loud. It must not have come from Wyverns, Griffins, or any small flying monsters known on the continent——something that can make such a loud and clear cry There is undoubtedly only one Haiwen species, and that is the giant dragon family that stands proudly at the top of thousands of creatures!
But the problem is precisely here!

Ever since he heard the roar of the dragon, the captain of the convoy was organizing the soldiers to prepare for defense, while vigilantly looking at the surrounding sky, paying attention to any possible changes.

But what puzzled him was that the sky was clear and the clouds were light and the wind was light. There were only a few wild ducks skimming the treetops. Under the scorching sun in early summer, where could one see the scales and half claws of the giant dragon?
Even the human farmers grazing in the distance beside the road first raised their heads in astonishment after hearing the roar of the dragon, and then looked at this side with a puzzled face, as if they didn't understand these orc soldiers from the east at all. There was such a big reaction all of a sudden.

"Maybe it's an auditory hallucination? Or some kind of magic and illusion?" the team captain asked hesitantly.

Dalton Wakemar, who poked his head out of the car, pursed his lips and didn't answer right away.

For these federal orc officers who have been in the army for a long time, the sound of the dragon is undoubtedly the most dangerous signal in the world: among the three major races on the Haven continent, only the federal orcs do not have the dragon knight, so the dragon Once the sound appears over the battlefield, it often means a devastating air strike from the enemy:
The empire has only one dragon knight, Baron Wolfgang, and he has already died in the area of ​​Fallen Dragon Mountain, which is not a cause for concern. However, the southern demons still maintain a magnificent lineup of six dragon knights—these The flying lizard from the ancient prehistoric era, in the previous conflicts between the orcs and demons, it can be said that the Glorious Federation suffered a lot and left a huge psychological shadow;
What's more, what makes Dalton Wakemar and other senior federal officers most disturbed is that according to the news sent back from the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon by Omar Setting Sun and Master Kane, the victorious, hell-crawling The demonic lord of the Shuangfengling Empire recently tamed a giant dragon with a steel appearance from somewhere. After research and judgment by his staff, it is suspected to be a rare subspecies of the Haiwen dragon clan that has long been extinct, "Tiaruka steel dragon"... …

All of this prevented Dalton Wakemar from easily letting his guard down on this abrupt and mysterious dragon cry.

The federal leader frowned tightly, and scanned the blue sky with his iconic bloodshot eyes: from south to north, from west to east, everything was surprisingly quiet, as if there was nothing abnormal at all... …

Then, the roar of the engine sounded from the rear of the orc convoy.

If this kind of roar fell into the ears of the "Dragon Flame Legion" who had been ravaged by the "Tiehua Group" in Shuangfengling in front of the Tumu Fortress, it would be nothing less than the most terrifying nightmare. The guards of Dalton Wakema's convoy are the "Desolation Watch" division that has been stationed in Thorn City for a long time and has never fought against Frost Maple Ridge...

Because of this, the orc soldiers surrounding the Grand Commander's car did not even have time to react. The "Astrakhan", "Kirov" and "Saratov" The dark phantom of "Tekkadan's First Assault Group" has emerged from nothingness, and is speeding along the path of the convoy led by Vekmar.

Their jet-black and shiny bodies are as radiant as before, and the "Bofors" magic cannons on their roofs are brewing dazzling elemental brilliance——

With an earth-shattering bang, three magic cannons fired at the same time, blasting a cloud of smoke, dust, and blood on the flanks of Commander Dalton Vekmar's car.

Before Dalton Wakemar even had time to retract his head back into the carriage, he saw the soldiers of "Desolation Watch" closest to the carriage being torn into countless pieces by the surging burst of magical white light in an instant. Dust and flesh and blood splashed onto the helmet of the federal commander, making a crackling sound of death.

How powerful the "Bofors" magic cannon is, and how precise the fire control is—nearly three months have passed since the first battle of Tumubao. The dwarves craftsmen have carried out a new round of upgrades on these demon products:
As we all know, the northern dwarves have a long history of firearms manufacturing, and a large part of their engineering research energy is also devoted to the key issues of aiming and fire control.Under the modifications of the dwarf craftsmen, the strike accuracy of this batch of Shuangfengling Type [-] "Apocalypse" chariots has undoubtedly increased to a higher level than that in the first battle of Tumubao.

Because of this, the sudden explosion of elemental power not only did not hurt the modified version of "Flesh and Blood" that Dalton Vekmar was riding on, even its body did not shake much in the shock wave of the elemental storm. Nothing—in stark contrast, the orc soldiers guarding both sides of the car exploded into puddles of crimson blood like the most delicious berries.

And at the same time when the "Bofors" magic cannon was fully fired, the three "Apocalypse" chariots that suddenly appeared behind the federal convoy did not slow down because of firing——

On the contrary, as the sound of the engine gradually increased, they were like the envoys of the god of death rushing from purgatory to the world to harvest souls, and they drove towards the chariot on which Dalton Vekmar was riding without hesitation and without hesitation!
In the chaos, only the captain in charge of the convoy responded: the experienced captain of "Desolation Watch" yelled at a volume that could tear the vocal cords:
"Enemy attack—! Enemy attack—! Drive fast—! Go—!"

The judgment of the captain of the federal convoy is undoubtedly correct: there is no need to identify the enemy situation, no need to confirm the casualties, and the only right way at this moment is to let the modified version of "Flesh and Blood" carrying the highest federal military commander leave here quickly:
Since this trip is an "absolutely safe" federal occupation area, the number of guards in the convoy is not large-the hundreds of elite orc soldiers in this area may be enough to deal with the rebellion and sneak attacks of the human troublemakers in the occupation area, but they are not enough. There is no capital to hold its ground under the attack of the enemy's regular army:
And the three black chariots that are approaching at this moment are even more terrifying than any regular army——

If you still can't recognize the Shuangfengling "Apocalypse" chariot that was slaughtered in the first battle of Tumubao and entered thousands of battle formations as if entering the land of no one, then these orc officers and soldiers might as well go back to their hometown in the East to farm and sell sweet potato!
The captain of the federal convoy didn't even have time to think about where the Shuangfengling's armored combat vehicle appeared from. There was only one extremely simple thought left in his tense heart:

run!Only by running quickly can there be a glimmer of life, so that Commander Dalton Wakemar will not die in the control area of ​​the Glorious Federation like those convoy guards for no reason!
Under the urging of the team captain, the fuel engine of the modified version of the "Flesh and Blood" chariot rang again.

However, the ancient engine technology learned by the Glorious Federation from the demons is still dwarfed by the latest technology brought about by the industrial revolution: even if the original fuel engine of "Flesh and Blood" screams and shows strength like milk, this The transport vehicle still just creaked and started slowly as if being pushed by an old man;
And behind it, three "Apocalypse" chariots that came chasing after the wind and the moon, seemed to have arrived in front of them.

In an instant, the team leader's heart was clear.

He understood that he had only one choice.

The senior captain of "Desolate Watch" pulled out the long knife from his waist with a "swish" and roared:
"Charge! Protect the Grand Commander!"

Then, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rushed towards the leading "Astrakhan" frantically with his eyes.At the moment before the horse collided with the chariot, the orc officer opened his eyes wide, with the veins on his forehead bulging, and with all his strength, he swung his knife fiercely towards the smooth black surface of the "Astrakhan". over the past -

——The elemental wind blade produced by the "Protection of Wind" rune popped out from the affected part without warning, and instantly cut off the full handle of the federal saber made of fine steel.The height of the broken knife bounced high into the air, and for a moment, the sun's light reflected by its metal blade crossed the desperate and helpless face of the team captain——

The horse under the team captain's crotch bumped into the front end of the "Astrakhan".This brave army horse didn't even utter a mournful cry before its head burst open due to the violent impact.Amid the tooth-piercing sound of rubbing, its headless horse body was drawn into the bottom of the "Astrakhan", and then fell into mud and returned to the loess under the ruthless rolling of the steel tracks.

And the captain of the team on horseback - he also fell to the ground along with his mount.After the steel tracks crushed his leg bones, before he lost consciousness and life because of the severe pain, the orc officer used the last courage of his life to swing his fist and smashed hard on the "Apocalypse" chariot. On the unmoving metal body like a rock, trying in vain to delay even one more second for His Excellency the Grand Commander of the Glorious Federation——

The metal storm devoured him mercilessly.

Dalton Wakemar witnessed all this in silence.

The Commander of the Glorious Federation did not withdraw his head back into the carriage as the guards advised him—on the contrary, he still maintained the posture just now, leaning out from the window, staring blankly at one orc soldier after another. Mantis rushed towards the galloping "Apocalypse" chariot like a car, and was drawn under the steel track without any suspense.

The helmet on his head was covered with bits and pieces of blood, and someone's blood had blurred his vision, but Dalton Wakemar didn't even want to wipe it off: he could only feel a great and vast sadness The heart spreads and overflows.

The shadow of death cast from the air by Sindragosa's steel dragon wings covered his bitter face.
