Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 229 Rolling
The poisonous troll feather arrow, like a burnt fuse, instantly detonated the silent night of the setting sun forest.

In any case, it was an exceptionally messy battle.

In the southern part of the empire at the end of summer, the weather is always very changeable. In the sky tonight, there are a few dark clouds hanging in the sky that are secretly brewing a rainstorm;
Unfortunately, when the battle broke out, a dark cloud just covered the clear and bright moon;
Therefore, whether it is the soldiers of the "Halden-Igor" coalition army or the trolls hiding in the bushes, the only light source they can rely on for a while is the slightly dim starlight, and the soldiers of the coalition army Torches soaked in oil in their hands.

From this point of view, the troll robbers lurking in the woods are much luckier than the soldiers of Halladine:

The brilliance of the torch was not enough to reflect the figure of the "Enziai" troll from the shadowy bushes, but it was like the brightest indicator light, accurately exposing the positions of the soldiers of the country to the troll's eyes.

As a result, the coalition soldiers in the charge were still squinting their eyes to find the enemy's position, and the Enziai trolls had already bent their bows and set their arrows leisurely, and shot a wave of dense arrows at the coalition forces with feathered arrows shining with death green light!
Of course, the low-quality feather arrows made hastily by the trolls did not cause any damage to the well-equipped Shuangfengling soldiers at all:
Out of fear of the poison of "Jian Shan Chuang", Xia Houyan and Chris Mann, who has been promoted to the deputy commander of the pioneering army, have supervised the soldiers of Shuangfengling to put on the clothes from the Phoenix Terrace long before the army set off. Bring thick armor.

These armors come in various shapes and forms. There are demon light armor snatched from Luna Village, standard heavy armor sponsored by Rock Creek City, and military equipment engraved with the eminent coat of arms of the Imperial Southern Army——

And the biggest thing these armors have in common is that they are made to resist the sharpest crossbow bolts, sharpest blades and fiercest artillery fire!

The forest trolls without a military system, even if they once had relatively high-quality feather arrows, must have lost them in the war of attrition with the army of the uncle. Now the earthy feather arrows shot by the trolls from the bushes, arrowheads Nothing but hand-polished stone—

——The key for the trolls to kill the enemy has never been the destructive power of the feather arrow itself, but the poisonous "Sword Cedar Creation" smeared on the arrowhead!
This kind of highly toxic projectile, which is worryingly strong, is best at attacking demon caravans and local civilians without armor protection. It would be embarrassing to shoot through thick tanned leather armor, but it hit the land of the soul cracking. The vast armaments of Shuangfengling, the city of wealth in the wasteland, is full of the powerlessness of a toothpick stirring a big vat:

Even if the feathered arrows thrown by the troll archer can ignore the interference of Xu Yefeng, even if they can escape the thick and solid kite shields, when they finally hit the armor of the soldiers of Shuangfengling, the greatest battle result can be achieved. It's just a piece of uneven metal pit after piece.

Of course, not all territories are full of nouveau riche and local rich men like Shuangfengling.

Not only are the unlucky soldiers of the Halledine country thinner than paper, but their armor is not much thicker than paper:

The "Forest Country" located in the southern part of the empire is naturally far away from wars and power strife. The standing army is not much, and the support capability of military logistics is even close to zero;

The current soldiers of the Earl Country are basically mercenaries and local recruits recruited by Earl Halledine after the Enzie troll rebellion:

These Halladayne soldiers were not equipped with uniform standard armor at all, and most of the equipment on their bodies was bought by themselves to save their lives. Looking at it hastily, there is not even a flash of metal in the team. Most of them are not even leather armor, but cotton clothes compacted with stones.

Then, on the dark battlefield, two voices sounded at the same time:
Near the Shuangfengling delegation located in the center of the former army, the crisp impact sound caused by the stone arrowhead hitting the steel plate, jingling one after another, is really pleasant;
But the soldiers of the country, who followed Sergeant Joyce Hallardine in a big stride forward, used their own flesh and blood to play the dull music of death—of course very quickly, with screams and wailing The sound covered up the puffing sound of the arrowhead entering the body, and became the mainstream of this Starlight Music Festival.

Not far away, at the central position of the "Halden-Igor" coalition army, the high-level officials of Shuangfengling who were cast by the lord's shadow magic "Sight of Breaking the Screen" may be the most able to see the battle situation in the dark night people;

However, no one paid attention to the casualties of the soldiers of Halla Deen, from the official Xiahou, the lord of Shuangfengling, to Bob Brook who came to make soy sauce. The hero sacrificed and charged towards the bushes, and did not attract too much attention from the senior officials of Shuangfeng Ridge——

——Because in their eyes, there is only one superstar in troubled times in this night battle!
The man's name was Joyce Hallardine!
As early as when the coalition forces began to charge, Sergeant Joyce shocked the scum of Frost Maple Ridge with behavior patterns beyond the scope of human understanding:
When the charge began, Sergeant Joyce rushed to the front of the line screaming;

But before rushing out ten meters, Sergeant Joyce slowed down unknowingly, and retreated all the way in the charging team, and retreated to the rear end of the team before everyone could react;

And when the troll archer in the bushes started to shoot arrows, Xia Hou didn't find Sergeant Joyce's shadow in the army of the uncle country. He turned his head and squinted, and found that the girl was actually huddled under the soldiers of Shuangfengling. behind the kite shield;
When the troll shooter finished the round of volley and was killed and wounded by the soldiers of the country who rushed to the front with him, this guy somehow rushed to the front of the team, shouting "Avenge the brothers!" Go!" and other nonsense, the righteousness is so awe-inspiring, like a revolutionary martyr facing the enemy's butcher knife...

As for later, Joyce's performance can only be said to be breathtaking.

From the time when the soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge began to charge on the corpses of the friendly soldiers of Halla Deen, and then to their spears and swords breaking through the bushes and fighting hand-to-hand with the panicked troll warriors, in this extremely fast charge process, The troll archers used their bows and arrows to launch three volleys towards Frost Maple Ridge with little effect;
Sergeant Joyce was at the end of the line at each salvo;

And every time before and after the volley started, he would appear from the front of the team like a ghost, shouting exciting slogans, leading the soldiers of Shuangfengling to charge faster...

The seamless switch between the shrinking egg mode and God of War mode can only make Xia Houyan wonder if he is in some kind of quantum entanglement state, because macroscopic physics is really hard to explain, how can there be such shameless and cunning in the world? Soldier!

Joyce Hallardine may have thought that under the cover of night, in the chaos of battle, his shameless deeds would never be seen;
What he didn't expect was that the lord of Shuangfengling who held a copy of "Shadow Spell Research" was best at observing the scenery of his territory in the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers.

So, with the help of "Sight of Breaking the Curtain", the senior officials of Shuangfengling continued to watch Joyce's superb performance in a daze:

Sergeant Joyce Hallardine, who held a sharp sword, moved the most erratically, and had the loudest slogans, almost became the only seedling of the country who rushed into the bushes with the elite soldiers of Shuangfengling;

But this guy obviously has no motivation to avenge the local brothers.

While the pioneer army rushed into the formation of trolls and robbers like tigers into a herd of sheep, piercing one body after another with spears and sharp swords, and splashing rivers of blood one after another, Joyce Halledine was cautious He followed behind the pioneer of Shuangfengling, still shouting slogans loudly, but his eyes flicked around furtively, and then...

...began to pick up leaks.

The soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge fought bloody battles in front, while Joyce Halladine bent over behind, constantly picking up the loot from the numerous corpses on the ground.

Master Laurie saw that he took a cowhide purse from the waist of a soldier who died in battle;
Knight Commander Cousins ​​saw him snatch a jeweled necklace from the neck of a dead troll;
Xia Houyan watched helplessly as Joyce Halladine stepped on the palm of a badly injured troll, pulled a gold ring from the latter's finger, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. stand up.

The expressions of the senior officials of Shuangfengling ranged from shock, to disgust, and finally to unabashed admiration.

"Look..." Xia Houyan was amazed for a while, "Learn from others! After the battle is over, when our Shuangfengling militiamen clean up the battlefield, we must have this kind of carefulness...God knows we missed it before What wealth!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, only Captain Cousins ​​shook his head regretfully:
"This is really talented, I can't learn it..."

In addition to Joyce Hallardine's wonderful performance, I have to say that this battle of annihilation between the elite of Frost Maple Ridge and the forest trolls is really very lackluster.

The armed forces of the country of Halledine are weak, but the forest trolls living in the sunset forest are brave and violent people who are good at fighting?

With the advantages of blood and genes, the forest troll is indeed taller and more agile than humans, and has the potential to become an excellent shooter with the help of amazing eyesight;
But in the final analysis, before the group of trolls in the Sunset Forest set off the banner of rebellion, they were just honest and responsible forest residents who yearned for a peaceful life.

After the advantage of the "Jianshan Chuang" feather arrows was offset by the heavy armor, this group of archer fighters of a minority race could also fight against the impoverished Spring Leaf Town troops. Ridge mob rival?

In just a few seconds of the battle, the elite pioneers of Frost Maple Ridge set off an invincible storm of flesh and blood among the bushes where troll shooters gathered - the unique blue blood of trolls, accompanied by one after another The wailing sound, like sadness, flows into a river, flows into a river, flows into the Qiantang River tide on August [-]!

It's not that the troll warriors didn't want to resist, but the stone axes, wooden sticks and swords seized from the demon caravan in their hands were as vulnerable as the World Trade Center in front of the plane!
At first, Alice Comstock, who was leading the pioneer army, also carried the magic sword "Light of the Sky", wanting to help the pioneer army soldiers kill the enemy and open the situation;
But the one-sided massacre in front of her eyes made the female swordsman frowned tightly. The long sword was only half out of its sheath, and it was difficult to pull it out any more. It stood awkwardly in the air——

——The dignity and honor of a swordsman simply does not allow her to attack such a weak enemy.

In a sense, Alice Comstock, who is a woman, is much more chivalrous than a lily knight from Eagle's Rest.

In the face of absolute strength comparison, defeat is inevitable after all.

The fierce fighting sound lasted only 10 minutes, and then completely calmed down.

In the beginning, a troll warrior raised his hands facing the elven daggers of the soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge, and then two troll fighters raised their hands facing the elven daggers of the soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge. In the end, frustration and despair Spreading out like water waves, the trolls in the forest threw away their weapons one by one and knelt down on the ground, with their hands up to the sky, just like looking up at the stars.

The dust has settled.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the goddess of the moon showed a compassionate face.

The trolls who surrendered came one after another, bathed in the cold moonlight, and were driven to a clearing at the edge of the forest by the soldiers of Frost Maple Ridge covered in blue with weapons in their hands.

When Xia Houyan and Commander Nolan of the Earl of Halledine left the command position and walked towards the dejected troll captives, Joyce Halledine was kneeling on the ground beside him and weeping loudly, "Mourning" The tragic death of a dear colleague.

Of course, in the impromptu mourning speech, Ya didn't even forget to praise the soldiers of Shuangfengling for their bravery and skill...

Commander Nolan and Xia Houyan directly ignored this guy in an incomparable tacit understanding, and walked straight to the troll captives:

If they looked at Joyce Hallardine more than once, they were afraid they would spit it out.

The coalition soldiers who surrounded the troll captives respectfully opened a way for the two supreme commanders, Commander Nolan and Lord Frost Maple Ridge.

The troll captives who heard the sound raised their eyes timidly, with panicked expressions.

Even though they lived in the forest for a long time without contact with humans, they also clearly realized that these two humans were the leaders of each other and would be the judges of their tragic fate.

"Lord Elliott Igor, the lord of Frost Maple Ridge, Karl Nolan, Commander of Halledine, has arrived!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​leaned on the hilt of his waist, and shouted majestically, "Everyone Kneel down for me!"

The troll captives knelt sparsely.

The fierce battle just now has already completely destroyed their spirit and will, and also destroyed all the courage to resist.

Xia Houyan's eyes swept over the gray faces of the trolls one by one: these ugly green cheeks with protruding fangs were thin and bleak, even if they were not of the same race, Xia Houyan could tell that these forest trolls had already I haven't had a full meal for a long time.

"Don't kneel!" Xia Houyan took a deep breath and roared.

Commander Nolan, Commander Cousins, and hundreds of troll prisoners all cast stunned gazes at the same time.

"I said, don't kneel!" The lord of Frost Maple Ridge crossed his arms, "Who is your leader? Come here, openly and squarely, and surrender to Frost Maple Ridge and the Igor family like a warrior!"

After a brief silence, an exceptionally tall forest troll with rounded features squeezed out from the crowd.

"Frost Maple Ridge, Frost Maple Ridge..." The forest troll muttered the name several times, then slowly lowered his head towards the black-haired young lord, his voice was low, "Young nobleman, we meet again..."
