Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 483: What happens after the Imperial people leave?

The conference room that had just calmed down suddenly became chaotic again.

Master Calvino and Sean Mountbatten worked together to hold the Lord's arms, preventing the Lord Xia's urge to strike another blow at Marquis Liam;

Knight Commander Cousins ​​hurriedly stood between Xia Houyan and Marquis Liam, who was wailing on the ground. He seemed to be trying to break up the fight, but he unknowingly stepped hard on Marquis Liam's palm. ;

Master Laurie, Alice and others, who had returned with the lord, blocked the door of the conference room, gaping at the chaotic scene in front of them;

As for Estherville and Urna, when the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge suddenly attacked, the two religious inquisitors had already drawn their weapons again in an instant, but they did not even dare to make a move——

——At this moment, Estherville's heart was filled with huge shock and confusion.

Just now, Marquis Liam was punched in the face by the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge who suddenly rushed into the conference room, and then fell to the ground. However, during the entire process, Estherville was not even aware of the slightest danger, and before he even had time to react, he watched as Marquis Liam was attacked and fell to the ground.

The Lord of Frost Maple Ridge took action even faster than Estherville's reaction! This is a strange thing that "The Killer" has never encountered in his decades of fighting career!

If the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge is not bare-handed, but holding a dagger in his hand, then Estherville has no doubt that Marquis Liam has already been separated from his body at this time, and the two religious inquisitors responsible for guarding the commander of the Central Army The official will be unable to do anything about it!

"The Killer" stared hard at the black-haired young man in front of him, feeling like he was facing a formidable enemy for the first time in more than ten years.

"Mr. Estherville!" A voice came from behind.

Estherville turned around and saw Alice Comstock at the door. When Samuel "Thunder Dragon" wanted to accept Alice as a closed disciple, Alice had naturally seen "Thunder Dragon" "The magical portrait of my senior brother. Estherville had already retired at that time, so he had never seen the girl who almost became his junior sister, but at this moment he immediately noticed the female swordsman's steady pace and strong posture.

——Another powerful enemy whose martial arts skills are not inferior to his own. Estherville turned slightly to the side, covering Alice Comstock at the door within his attack range.

Among the chaos, exclamations, and screams, only Guillaume Gaunt still maintained his precious rationality.

"My Lord Duke Igor! Calm down!" the Imperial Prime Minister shouted loudly, "Mr. Estherville! Miss Urna! Go and help Lord Liam up!"

Estherville did not move, maintaining a state of readiness for war, while "Blade of Londo" Urna sheathed her sword and helped the wailing Marquis Liam up - the new commander of the Central Army His left cheek was swollen like a balloon.

On the other side, Xia Houyan finally got rid of the shackles of the two horses, and gave a forehead salute without blushing or out of breath:

"Welcome to Swan Castle, may the Holy Spirit guide your path, Lord Gaunt."

Guillaume Gaunt turned his head to look at the seriously injured Marquis Liam, then looked at the messy conference room, and could only smile bitterly.

After not seeing each other for many days, the Imperial Prime Minister noticed that the temperament of this black-haired young man seemed to have undergone some subtle changes: If the original Duke of Frost Maple Ridge only had a strong sense of oppression because of his power, now The Duke of Shuangmangling had a dangerous aura that came from nowhere.

What happened in the past month or so? Guillaume Gaunt couldn't understand.

"Sir Elliot Igor." Estherville slowly said the name of the person who came out as a greeting, and slowly put the "Holy Blood Heart" back behind his back.

"I heard your request outside the door." Xia Houyan took off his cloak and waved to Sean Mountbatten who was standing aside. "I am sure that Frost Maple Ridge will send troops to wipe out the orcs!"

Marquis Liam let out an indistinct "Woooo", while Prime Minister Gunter was overjoyed and said:

"Really? That would be great!"

"Recovering the Holy City of Thorns is an unshirkable responsibility for all the sons and daughters of our empire!" Xia Houyan patted his chest righteously, "However, if we, Frost Maple Ridge, are to send troops, your empire's regular army must also be prepared."

"Preparation?" Guillaume Gaunt looked puzzled, "What preparation?"

Xia Houyan bared his teeth and showed an innocent smile:

“When you release the tiger from the cage, you must be ready to dance with the tiger.”

The room was filled with silence. Guillaume Gaunt felt a chill creep up his spine for no apparent reason.

"Then... let's make an agreement..." The Imperial Prime Minister cleared his throat and forced himself to calm down, "... Regarding the military plan to eliminate the orcs around Thorn City, I will ask the military department to send a staff officer to you. …”

"No need to send it off." Xia Houyan waved his hand, "The people of Shuangmaple Ridge have their own military plan. Now that the matter is settled, please don't waste time in our poor place - or, some of the adults want to stay. Have lunch?”

"No need! No need!" Guillaume Gaunt waved his hands hurriedly, "We... we're leaving now."

Prime Minister Gunter wanted to drop a few words before leaving, but looking at the embarrassed Marquis Liam, he didn't know where to start. Finally, he sighed heavily and left the conference room without looking back. The two religious inquisitors helped Marquis Liam up, one on the left and the other on the right, and left with Gunter.

——Before going out, Estherville turned around again, looked at Xia Houyan deeply, and then walked away.

It wasn't until the footsteps of the four people in the group had faded away that a group of Shuangfengling horses in the room cheered and surrounded the boss, the fire of gossip blazing.

"Lord!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​looked at the boss curiously, "What have you been doing in the past half month? We received a message from Master Lowry midway, saying that you were missing in some secret place. Inside the Tao..."

"It's a long story..." Xia Houyan chuckled and pretended to be Dongbingku style.

However, before this guy could continue his pretense, Master Calvino Lingge suddenly said:

"Lord...your magic rhythm seems to be different. Have you advanced?"

Advanced? ! Everyone present is a knowledgeable person, how come they don’t know that this is an important level for magicians to improve their strength? The original lord advanced once outside the east gate of Phoenix Terrace with the help of Ander Spencer.

However, given that the lord has always been keen on hitting people with big sticks and scaring people with command swords, even if he creates some undead creatures, he does not use his own magic power, so it is easy for everyone to forget the fact that Ya is actually a light magician born in a school city. .

The direct descendants of the Igor family racked their brains for a while to recall, and vaguely recalled that the lord's previous magic class seemed to be an intermediate mage.

If the Lord, as Master Lingge said, has experienced any adventures in these fifteen days and advanced to the first level, then it means that he is now an upright senior mage!

In Frost Maple Ridge two years ago, senior mages were definitely a rare top combat power. However, today's Frost Maple Ridge's elemental power is rapidly expanding, and it is in its heyday when mages are everywhere and senior mages are not as good as dogs. The lord's magic skills are really useless.

After all, no one would let the lord risk his own life to cast spells on the battlefield just to get the elemental firepower of a senior mage. As for the necromancy magic that is really the most popular in the box, most of it is not used at the end of the battle. Used on the front line.

Therefore, although it is a happy event for the lord to advance, to be honest, it is really meaningless.

So, everyone looked at the Xiahou official with playful smiles and were ready to say some auspicious words to express their congratulations, until the latter scratched his head and replied a little "shyly":

"...It has indeed advanced. This lord is now, roughly, basically at the level of... a senior mage."

There were jaws all over the conference room.

……

Outside Swan Castle, on the path back to the Blood Front Imperial Army Headquarters.

Prime Minister Guillaume Gaunt walked at the front of the team without saying a word. Estherville calmly supported Marquis Liam and followed behind. Urna, the "Blade of Londo", was absent-mindedly at the end, and from time to time Look up and look at the sky in the sky.

At this moment, Marquis Liam had recovered from the chaos of the heavy blow. He was holding an ice pack against his swollen cheek. Every time he took two steps, he would let out a muffled groan of pain from his mouth.

"That Igor bastard..." the commander of the Central Army muttered, "...I must kill him..."

"You shouldn't be too high-profile in Frost Maple Ridge." Prime Minister Gunter did not look back at Marquis Liam, but said coldly, "For those people in the wasteland, your position, title and military rank Meaningless."

"Bastard..." Marquis Liam cursed again, "These lawless beasts..."

Prime Minister Gunter continued to move forward:

"However, Elliot Igor has agreed to send troops. This is good news. With the strength of Frost Maple Ridge, we should soon be able to encircle Thorn City. From this point of view, your punch is also It’s not in vain, is it, dear Lord Liam?”

Looking at the expression on Marquis Liam's face, he almost cursed, but he held it back because of the pain in his face.

"Don't worry... I will be responsible for the negotiations with the Igor family from now on." Prime Minister Gunter sighed deeply, "Elliot Igor and his Frost Maple Ridge are still good to the empire. It works, and the Holy Spirit always favors those who are patient..."

"Lord Gunter." Estherville, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said, "Is that Duke Elliot Igor a magician?"

"The information shows that Elliot Igor has been studying in the northern mage city in his early years and did not leave until he inherited the title of Vincent Igor. So, yes, he is a magician. According to the city's People said that he was majoring in light magic and his grades were poor. "Guillaume Gunter obviously knew the life of Duke Frost Maple Ridge very well.

Estherville narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin.

"What's the matter, Mr. Estherville?" Prime Minister Gunter looked back at "The Killer", "Is there any problem?"

"Duke Elliot Igor may be a little stronger than we thought." Estherville said solemnly, "I don't think he is an inferior student from the school with 'poor grades'. "

"...Really?" Guillaume Gunter smacked his lips, "There are many high-level magicians in Frost Maple Ridge. Elliot Igor may have received guidance from an expert in the territory, or he may have used some mysterious magic. It's a pity that all the spies we sent to the Soul-Splitting Land were caught and cleared by the Military Statistics Bureau of Frost Maple Ridge, so we have no idea about Lord Igor's true strength now. Know."

Estherville said "Hmm" thoughtfully.

The unusual attitude of "The Executioner" made Guillaume Gaunt a little uneasy. he asks:

"Lord Estherville, in your opinion, what is the strength of our Lord Elliot Igor?"

"I don't know. This is what puzzles me the most - I don't know." Estherville breathed out softly, "Lord Gunter, I don't have the innate elemental talent of a magician. Therefore, there is no way to use magic to detect the general rank of Lord Igor...but...he gives me the feeling...that he is very dangerous."

Guillaume Gaunt opened his mouth slightly: he understood very well what kind of person existed who was "very dangerous" to Estherville.

"No matter what Mr. Igor is, he is just a young man in his early twenties. After all, the profession of magician still requires time and experience..." Prime Minister Gunter murmured, "No matter how great Mr. Igor is, Even if you are strong, you won’t be able to make any waves in front of Master Schultz, right?”

Estherville remained silent.

It was this silence that frightened Guillaume Gaunt.

"Supreme Holy God!" The dignified Prime Minister of the Empire exclaimed, "What's going on with this kid Elliot Igor?!"

——To be honest, not only Guillaume Gaunt and Estherville couldn't figure it out, but even the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge himself was completely confused about everything that happened to him.
