Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 96 The Pig Hits the Tree

In the crisp sound of the carriage bell, the edge of the Phoenix Terrace rose from the horizon.

Many days ago, this place was just an inconspicuous mesa in the east of Soul Crack Land, on the edge of Frost Maple Ridge. At first, there was a hoarse sound like the whimpering of a dead soul.

But now, it looks like a human settlement after all.

Because the first thing that caught the eyes of Miss Katerina Igor was not the "Green Dam" fence wall made of temporarily cut timber, but two erected beside the camp gate, one on the left and one on the right. wooden watchtower.

The tower body is built with extra-slender wood and fixed with iron nails; in order to save materials, this watchtower tower does not have a wooden ladder, but only a long hemp rope with countless knots for people to climb. The rope ladder up and down, hanging from the top of the tower, swayed slowly in the breeze.

And under the thatched shed on the top of the watchtower, the vigilant eyes of the trainee scouts like falcons were faintly visible.

"This..." Katerina sat on the car, hugging her brother's arm and eating, "This is Frost Maple Ridge?"

"Yeah, it seems that during the time I was out, Mr. Donald had already built the sentry towers..." Xia Houyan looked at the two sentry towers from a distance with satisfaction, and weighed for a moment, whether to give them extremely high efficiency or not. Mr. Donald, a job bonus or something...

The trade-off is not to.

Although they made a lot of money from Moon God Village this time, the status quo that the Igor family needs to live frugally and start hard work has not fundamentally changed. Xia Houyan felt that instead of giving prizes and bonuses to advanced figures in the territory, It would be better to give a verbal commendation in public. This sense of honor should be enough to motivate everyone to work hard...

What kind of bonus is given? What we are pursuing is a dream, and it is vulgar to talk about money!
——This fellow has brought in the capitalist way of thinking without any obstacles, and he is also very at ease.

"Elliott...We're home!" Katerina looked at the simple fortifications at Phoenix Terrace, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, she cried with joy, "We're finally home!"

The lord wiped away her sister's tears, and pouted quietly.

Although he can completely understand Katerina's excitement, he is also really surprised that women from different planes are so sentimental - even, in this ancient society where there is no basic guarantee of personal life, nobles like Katerina Miss, the sense of dependence on residence and family is much stronger.

He can only hope now that his good sister will not interfere more in the construction of the territory - the primitive accumulation of capital is just as bloody and cruel as politics, and Katerina is afraid to kill a chicken. She couldn't bear to see the greenhouse flowers that died. Staying in Eagle's End Fort is a good lord who is kind and caring for the people, but the desolate wasteland of the land of split souls is not destined to be a stage for her to show her talents.

The two brothers and sisters of the Igor family, each with their own emotions, drove the carriage into the Phoenix Terrace.

Mayor Joel and Master Laurie, who had already received the signal of Lord Lord's return from the scouts, greeted them early on the Phoenix Terrace Square and took Lord Lord off the carriage.

And when they saw Miss Katerina's familiar and gentle smiling face, the two old men were stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears, like an empty nest old man seeing his daughter returning from overseas, holding on to the eldest miss. hands crying and laughing.

It's not good for the lord to hold his arms and the boss: this good sister who has been in Eagle's End for a long time, her relationship with the lords is obviously much closer than that of an outsider who hurried back from the academy to inherit the title...

In fact, it’s not just Katerina. Many of the more than 300 citizens he rescued from Luna Village this time were closely related to members of the Eastern Front Migration Team. The leaders got off the carriage and met their relatives and friends one by one on the Phoenix Terrace. The cries and tears of joy filled the platform immediately. The scene was as enthusiastic as the Red Army reunited in Jinggangshan.

Xia Houyan was even more depressed.

It stands to reason that he left the camp with two warriors before, just to investigate the battlefield of the mass graves!
However, he discovered a large number of corpse resources that could be used, created skeleton soldiers to attack Moon God Village first, rescued a large number of family captives, and bought a convoy of supplies for free. The scrolls were originally brought by him in order to summon a stone from the sky to smash people for self-defense. At first, he did not have any military plans!

Therefore, on this journey, which was extremely rewarding and completely exceeded his original expectations, it was obvious that his Xiahou high official was the one with the most careful planning, the most effort, and the greatest contribution—if he hadn’t threw his life away and used the teleportation scroll to do it The center of a skeleton army is blooming, how can Katarina and the other captives welcome liberation?How could Moon God Village bow its head?How could the impoverished Shuangfengling suddenly get a large windfall?

However, in the scene where everyone welcomed the reunion, his lord, who made a great contribution, was left out in the cold!

Xiahou, a high-ranking official with a strong sense of vanity, folded his arms and turned his head, silently scolding Niang Xipi.

However, he was soon distracted by something that didn't exist when he left the camp.

It was a huge mass parked not far from the square... rotten meat.

No, if you look closely you will see that this is not ordinary meat, but the corpse of a giant wild animal!

Covered by the dense thorns that look like steel needles, its body covered with black hair is already scarred, revealing the cause of this beast's death very clearly: large and small knife wounds and sword wounds are criss-crossed, dark red The blood was still leaking out under the sun - as for its abdomen, a shockingly huge gap opened, and the shriveled intestines flowed to the ground, exuding a disgusting stench...

It's a porcupine!
And what shocked and confused Xiahou Yan the most was the size of this porcupine carcass!

It's just too big!
Ordinary porcupines in the wasteland are less than one meter long at best, but the corpse of this porcupine is as long as two or three people. Indian Elephant!
"Where did this thing come from?" Lord Lord looked around.

Seeing that the Xiahou officials were in a sad mood, Tom Lawrence, who had been waiting by the side long ago, ready to slack off, hurriedly replied:

"Lord Lord, this beast suddenly appeared outside the camp last night. It is estimated that he was starving in the wasteland. He smelled the popularity and bumped into the 'Green Dam' without saying a word. The military team plus Master Lowry took a lot of work to kill it!"

"No one was hurt, right?" Xia Houyan asked hastily.

"Uh, a few guards were slightly injured, a master craftsman who was reinforcing the fence wall had a broken bone, and some unlucky people got stabbed, nothing else." Lawrence shrugged, "This thing is very powerful. It's scary, and it even broke down the built fence. Master Donald is rushing to bring people to repair and strengthen it - the fortifications that were finally built, almost couldn't stop a porcupine, Mayor Joel can make Master Donald scolded badly..."

"I'll go to condolences to the wounded in a while..." The Lord stared at the "porcupine" corpse on the ground for a long time. "You said this is a 'porcupine'? How can there be such a big porcupine in the world?"

"It's not an ordinary porcupine!" Lawrence whispered, "Master Laurie said, this is not an ordinary beast, but a low-level monster called 'Jifeng Jianhao', and it has magic crystals in its skull!"

Xia Houyan was stunned for a moment: Warcraft is different from beasts. Not only is its intelligence, strength and physique better, but it can even cast some simple magic.

The problem is that most of the monsters in the Haven Continent appear in the Eastern Federation, at most in the dense forests, swamps, and deep mountains in the eastern part of the empire.

"Damn, how did the monsters travel from eight hundred miles away to the southern wasteland?" Xiahouyan asked.

Lawrence's innocent eyes showed that she didn't know anything about this issue.
