Why did the lord rebel

When Alice, Master Laurie, and Master Spiritual Song walked into the study door, they happened to see the lord holding a bloody brass lion lampstand in his hand, looking down at something on the ground——

——It was a figure in a white shirt, a silk vest, and trousers.The reason why it is called "human form" is because the head of this corpse has been completely turned into an indistinct meat paste.Blood flowed from his broken head and broken neck, and a large pool of scarlet blood had already spread on the floor.

A little farther away from the rotten corpse, there was another person lying prone and crawling on the ground. Because his face was facing down, he couldn't see his face, so it was even more difficult to judge whether he was dead or alive—but the blue robe on the fallen person As well as the sharp sword in hand, it seems to imply that this is an extraordinary swordsman.

What surprised the three Shuangfengling horse boys was that the bookshelf in the study that they had seen just now had moved to another position, revealing a dark secret passage hidden behind the wall.

It's only been 10 minutes, how come William Hyde's study has completely changed?Not to mention, there were only two people in the room, William Hyde and the lord, so why is there an extra kid now?

The three of them were still in a daze, and Hyde's attendant, who was following them and had a panoramic view of the room, turned pale and frightened in an instant, and turned around suddenly, wanting to escape;

Fortunately, Master Laurie had quick eyesight and quick hands, and a "Stunning Curse" hit the attendant's head without hesitation. As a result, the guy collapsed to the ground without making a sound.

"My lord! What happened?" The spiritual song master at the side cried out in shock as he saw the tragedy in the room.

"This guy is...William Hyde?" Master Laurie narrowed his eyes, and recognized Ya's identity through the costume of the rotten corpse on the ground.

"That's right, it is our respected and lovely 'Governor of the Occupied Area', Mr. William Hyde." Xia Houyan put the blood-stained lampstand back on the table, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands, and stretched out his toes to kick He kicked Hyde's body, "Of course, you can also see that he is dead now."

"Are you... talking and chatting and suddenly started fighting?" The master of spiritual song looked at the lord in shock, and then at the two corpses on the ground. The corpse of the martial artist had long since lost his breath. Obviously, like the unrecognizable William Hyde, he couldn't die anymore.

However, Master Laurie at the side felt from the bottom of his heart that, judging from the picture in front of him, the events that happened in the room before seemed to be hard to say "fight":
William Hyde and another unnamed warrior who fell on the ground were indeed in a miserable condition and lost their lives, but on the other hand, the lord was not blushing or panting, and there were no traces of fighting on his body. His fine clothes were spattered with blood.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that the other two were unilaterally slaughtered by the boss...

Master Laurie silently made a cross in his heart for the two unlucky ones.

"This Mr. Hyde is beyond his limits, and wants to blackmail the lord. This is good, and he will blackmail his life." Xia Houyan pointed at William Hyde at his feet, and said with a smile, "Ah, even I arranged a bodyguard to ambush me in the secret passage, but it turned out to be useless, one pair of death!"

"My lord, look at what I said. Hyde is a bastard who has no good intentions. You shouldn't have taken the risk of agreeing to come to negotiate with him! Fortunately, you have great powers and solved Hyde. Otherwise, if you really came here What's the matter, Miss Catalina must have skinned us..." Calvino Spiritual Master complained about the boss's wanton behavior like an old woman, and walked to the prostrate corpse of the samurai Before that, he carefully turned the corpse over with magic power.

Seeing the face of the samurai's corpse, Calvino Master of Spiritual Song let out an exclamation.

Obviously, this face is all too familiar to the elves from Eternal Sun City.

"This... Isn't this General Virgil?!" The spiritual master looked down at the general of the "Fengyun Brigade" on the cheek, "General Virgil of the "Fengyun Brigade"! I thought..."

"...I thought he died in the Burning Crystal Canyon, right?" Xia Houyan sighed, "At present, he should have survived the 'Hercules' explosion and was rescued by the orcs of the Glorious Federation. Unfortunately, our general Virgil has since betrayed the empire and become William Hyde's horse boy. Master of Spiritual Song, do you remember the rebellion of the "Fengyun Brigade" last year? I think this master is behind it."

The expression of Master Spirit Song was both shocked and embarrassed: a Chinese elf general in Eversun City blatantly betrayed the empire, and may have even planned a military mutiny behind the scenes. dull.

"We'll find a place to bury him in a while, and the real ending of General Virgil is only known to us - let the public's impression of him stay in the Burning Crystal Canyon and the martyrdom during the war. Xia Houyan smacked his lips, and said with some seriousness, "After all, General Virgil's tragedy can also be said to be partly caused by me..."

Although they don't know what the lord means, but only with regard to General Virgil's disposal measures, all three boys agree:

If the elf general betrayed the orcs and even instigated the rebellion of the Fengyun Brigade, it would definitely have a bad impact on the diplomatic relations between the Human Empire and the Stardust Elf Protectorate. The gold standard of living.

The best ending for General Virgil is to die in secret.

Of course, the dirty work of moving corpses must not be entrusted to the lord.

The two magicians first stuffed the rotten corpse of William Hyde into a corner of the room, and after confirming that there was nothing else in the secret passage behind the bookshelves, they used the "floating technique" to control General Virgil's corpse to fly into the air. out of the study.

Hyde's servant outside the door was still in a spell-induced stupor, leaning limply against the corner.

Xia Houyan tilted his head and thought for a while, took the "Light of the Sky" from Alice, and generously rewarded this guy with a sword - in the enemy's territory, don't be careless at all, it is already Xiahou who gave her a painless death The high official has the last mercy.

Like the mourners carrying the coffin at a funeral, Master Ling Song and Master Laurie manipulated the hanging corpse of General Virgil from left to right, walking along the porch all the way to the outside of the town hall, and Xia Houyan followed the two Behind the magician bodyguard.

Along the way, many of Hyde's soldiers had noticed something strange, and wanted to stop them with their weapons in hand, but Alice sent them all to meet the King of Hades.

The group of four broke out of the magic cave as easily as if they had entered no one's land, leaving behind a corridor of bandit corpses and wandering souls.

The outside of the town hall has already been turned upside down, and the world has changed.

The iron dragon "Xindagosa" is like a huge sky fortress, cruising over the town of Shanchagang invincibly.The outskirts of the town hall, which was originally used as a camp by William Hyde's assistant army, has turned into a death zone where ghostly frost and fire raged: the "flame sandwich candy" incendiary bombs dropped by the bone dragon one after another, spread all over the town. The raging fires that seemed to never go out were ignited in the major bandit camps in Zhongshan, and the fiery flames ruthlessly swallowed up one bandit camp after another; wherever Xia Houyan and the others could see, there were flames ignited everywhere, or The unlucky bandit army infected by the frost ran away in pain, and was burned into charred human flesh candle ends without any suspense.

Sindragosa's fire control was extremely precise, and the attack points perfectly covered several major auxiliary army garrisons in the town, but did not harm the residential areas with many human civilians at all.The magic speaker installed on the bone dragon's back was constantly broadcasting evacuation warnings asking residents of the town to stay at home and not to go out, while out of sight, in the outer area under Shancha Hill, there were faint screams of imperial soldiers far away. It was heard from afar——the regular army of the empire obviously didn’t have nothing to eat. When they saw Xindagosa’s move, they immediately launched a general attack on Shanchagang.

——William Hyde wanted to invite the Lord of Shuangfeng Ridge to threaten and lure him. Why didn't Xia Houyan want to take this opportunity to get rid of Hyde and completely eliminate the troublesome traitorous town of Shanchagang?
From the very beginning, he didn't want to have a good negotiation with Hyde, but aimed to kill Hyde himself; while William Hyde was still chatting foolishly with Xia Houyan in the study, Xia Houyan had already used his mind to attack Xin in the air. Dagosa gave the bombing order—and Hyde, who was dragged indoors by Xia Houyan and was finally headshot by a lampstand, naturally did not have the leeway to deploy defenses or even order the massacre of hostages.

Walking in the rivers and lakes relies on the word "ruthless", and Xiahou officials have always felt a lot about this.

Sindragosa was busy massacring the Coalition Army rebels in the air, while Master Laurie and Spiritual Song Master leisurely cast spells, dug a deep hole at the foot of the town center, and threw the hapless General Virgil I went in, and then reburied the tomb without leaving a trace.

A generation of famous generals of the "Fengyun Brigade" in the protection country of the stardust elves died peacefully.Xia Houyan stood where he was, chanted a few boring sacrificial rites such as "Your wife and daughter, I will raise them", and then led the three boys, avoiding the bombing zone of Sindragosa, and walked slowly out of the town.

Perhaps it was because they took care of the bandits they encountered while watching the bombing, but their pace was too slow. Just halfway there, the imperial soldiers outside the town had already completely entered the gate of Shanchagang, and there was a loud sound of fighting Endless: Without Hyde's deployment and hostage coercion, this group of mobs who were originally bandits could not stop the fierce front of the regular army, and would only collapse at the first touch.

The four of Xia Houyan and his party made way for the vanguard of the imperial army, and at the same time they saw with their own eyes that a knight of the imperial army who was riding in the front roared past in front of him. He had a burly sword hanging from his long lance like a show off. The body of the man was the notorious bandit leader Colonel Barbarossa whom he had just met.

The end of the matter was blowing in the wind like Colonel Barbarossa's body: the town had fallen, and William Hyde's reign of terror over the occupied territories had come to an end.

As for the pursuit and annihilation of the remnants of the enemy in Shanchagang, and the search and rescue of hostages, these are the tasks of the imperial army, and they are completely out of Xia Houyan's consideration.He led three bodyguards to Shanchagang Town, while nodding to the soldiers of the imperial army who saluted him along the way: In the eastern border, the Lord of Shuangfengling, the Duke Hua with the goshawk pattern, Service is undoubtedly the best honor label.

It wasn't until two or three miles away from Shanchagang that he was about to arrive at the "Wagner" special force station in Shuangfengling, that Xia Houyan finally turned his head and took a last look at the isolated imperial town on the hill.

The peaks are like gatherings, and the waves are like fury.

……

William Hyde's tenacious resistance in Shan Chagang was like a grand farce, with a magnificent start and a hasty end.After the former "Governor of the Occupied East Territory" was beaten to death by the Duke of Shuangfengling, the imperial army took Shan Chagang almost effortlessly, and the bandits of the Associate Army under Colonel Barbarossa were also at the head of the army. After death, the birds and beasts scatter.

As for the eastern nobles who were kidnapped by Hyde, they were finally found in a well-hidden underground granary in Shanchagang by the personal soldiers of Grand Duke Grim Rosario.

Although this group of thin-skinned and tender-skinned imperial nobles were all bruised and swollen, and their expressions were sluggish, and they were obviously insulted and abused by Hyde's subordinates, they were not dead after all—and as long as they did not die, the political situation in the Eastern Territory could remain stable. It is also possible to head east without any worries.

Of course, whether it is the rescued nobles of the eastern border, the high-level empire in the Central Plains, every soldier of the regular army of the empire, or every human civilian in the eastern border, they will all know that they will go deep into the enemy camp alone with great courage to solve the problem. William Hyde, the one who took Shancha Hill without bloodshed was the Duke of Shuangfengling who had already been famous before——

——Shuangfengling's propaganda machine is not for nothing.

Thus, Xia Houyan enjoyed everyone's admiration, led the "Wagner" special unit, followed in the footsteps of Grand Duke Grim Rosario's army, and traveled all the way through the occupied areas of the eastern border of the empire, until the bones of countless warriors of the empire were buried in the past. The bloody battlefront is in sight, and the great ancient city of Thorns is already in sight...

But what is a little strange is that these days, the lord of Shuangfengling has a lot of doubts visible to the naked eye.Of course, the entourage and subordinates around him couldn’t possibly know that what the boss frowned all day long and chewed over and over again in his heart was actually a sentence that William Hyde said unconsciously before his death:

"...the darkness and ugliness hidden behind the behemoth of the empire..."
