Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 268
Someone once said that there is a kind of bird on this continent without feet;
It can only fly and fly, and sleep in the wind when it is tired;
This kind of bird can only go to the ground once in its life, and that time is when it dies.

"Rocket" James has always believed that he is such a footless bird.

He was born in an unknown small city in the north, where the cold bone mountain range is full of snow and wind, and the clear stream flows quietly.

When he was a child, he thought that he would live forever in this nameless town. He was born here, grew up here, married here, grew old here, and finally occupied an inconspicuous gray stone in the cemetery of the stream in the north of the town. The tombstone, under the gentle blowing of the eternal north wind, let the moss and snow grow slowly between the inscriptions.

But it took him a long time to realize that what he thought was a thought after all, and life is full of surprises.

It was 950:34:26 p.m. on January 15, [-], Imperial Calendar. James was [-] years old and was hammering out the seventh tooth of a broken plow when he looked through the crystal clear When the window flower looked out the window, she saw the origin of her troubled life.

According to old legend, the wolf cavalry of the orc raiders, the footpads of their tundra wolves will make a soft sound when they land, thump, thump, thump, like a heartbeat, like a drum, like a midnight beat raindrop.

However, at 950:34:26 p.m. on January [-], [-], the year of the Imperial Calendar, the residents of an entire unnamed town did not hear a heartbeat, drumbeat, or even sound on this cold snowy night. raindrop;
In this harmonious silence, James clearly saw hundreds of wolf cavalry over the snow-covered mountain peaks, spreading towards the small town like a storm. Converged into a river in the night;

Riding fire Yichuanming.

This inconspicuous attack, in the writings of later historians, became the proud work of the federal military god von Weckma, and the official trigger of the war between the Empire and the Federation. Book of battle.

And in the early morning of the next day, when the Federation wolf cavalry left the town with soft hooves, there was not a single body left in the cemetery of the nameless town;
For the town is the graveyard of all men.

"Rocket" James crawled out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood, dying.

Many people asked him later, what happened that night?

How...how did you survive?

James would shake his head and say, I don't know.

Some people say he is lying, but James may not really know;
Sometimes it's not that hard to forget things we don't want to remember;
But James always remembers one thing, that is the soft and charming hooves of the orc wolf cavalry:

Boom, boom, boom;

Like a heartbeat, like a drumbeat, more like raindrops.

Sometimes the place to settle down is also a prison. Only those who have no home will have the courage to wander.

After that night, James knew that he was a footless bird.

In this way, he began to wander alone in a distant foreign land. Because there was no way back, he lost his tears.

James became a mercenary in the bloody Eastern Territory, killed a federal orc on the battlefield, went to the Eastern Army headquarters to receive a reward of two gold coins, and bought a jug of ice-snow-smelling dwarf spirits from the Coldbone Mountains .

People said he was making money, only he knew he was looking for death.

Sometimes, life is so paradoxical. On January 950, 360, the Imperial Calendar, the orc wolf cavalry took 43 nine lives in an unnamed northern town, but in the remaining [-] years of James' life , Countless elite orc soldiers coming and going could not take him away alone.

Three months ago, when the lord of the Eastern Corner City approached James and asked him if he would like to help out in the St. Augustus Festival Hunting Contest, James didn't say anything. He just asked the lord who was short of manpower and asked for it. For a skull of a federal orc, I asked for two yellow gold coins and a jug of cold bone mountain specialty spirits.

He said, I am willing to give everything to let you win, but after you win, let me die.

The lord of Ring City said, I will bury you in that unnamed city in the north, and set a gray stone tombstone in the moss-covered cemetery, where the snow winds and the clear stream flows.

So, in the middle of the burning night, on the scorching battlefield of Kemal Manor, "Rocket" James felt the temperature from the visor, felt the faster and faster heart beating driven by the "Rage Potion", What comes to mind is a footless bird that refuses to rest until it dies.

It's time to land.

His breath was as heavy as steel, and his vision was filled with the color of blood. The "Rage Potion" specially formulated for the orcs with strong physiques may completely destroy James' human body in 3 minutes;
But the enemy in front of him was not even the target of this hunting competition, not the flaming bird with wings covering the sky, but a death knight who appeared out of nowhere.

"Rocket" James laughed at himself:
I'm sorry, my lord, whether you win or not may be very important to you;

But me, it doesn't matter.

He brought up the steel round ax that had killed countless orcs and had no name like his hometown in the north, passed the elven healer who was busy checking and treating the wounded, and rushed towards the screaming black armor knight;
Many people started earlier than him, but no one rushed faster than him;
The "Rage Potion" is squeezing every ounce of hormone in his body, pouring the infinite power that should be used for hunting prey into his scarred body;

One step, one step, another step, "Rocket" James rushed to the last enemy in his life, the last death in his life, but also to the only hometown in his life——

The black-armored knight burst out with an earth-shattering roar, and then swung the great rune sword at him with all his strength;
"Rocket" James had imagined countless ways to die, but he never wanted to die under a too stupid slash, so he took a steep step according to his plan, passing the death knight's sharp sword:

Three steps, one step after another, this unpredictable step is the unique secret to James' slaughter of orcs on the battlefield in the East;
The death knight's rune blade with a limited length cannot touch James's body which is more agile under the boost of "Rage Potion"——

— everything is as it should be.

James stopped beside the death knight, and the death knight also stopped Jian Feng.

The tip of the rune giant sword is still 32 centimeters away from James' steel armor.

But in the slight cracking sound, first the steel armor, then the inner cotton coat, and then "Rocket" James' bloody flesh and blood due to the berserk effect, he was peeled away layer by layer by the sword energy of the rune sword like a cabbage, then broke in two;
At the last second before his field of vision fell into darkness, "Rocket" James heard the sound of his own bones breaking:

Boom, boom, boom.

He fell into a soft dreamland.

……

"Fuck!" Xia Houyan and Master Laurie, who were being treated by Miss Elf Healer, looked at the heroic figure of the death knight "Artificial Man No. [-]" killing the enemy with a sword not far away, and they all uttered curses.

When the elven healer turned his head to try to save Master Mephisto, who was pierced by a crowbar, the lord poked Master Laurie's arm, and said in a low voice:
"Doesn't the death knight only have the simplest magic method? How can this rune sword kill people in the air?"

Master Laurie looked around for no one, and the members of the hunting team had a heated fight with the death knight, so he whispered:
"Of course the death knight doesn't have this ability—but if you take a closer look, isn't Messi still there..."

Xia Houyan looked at the death knight in the middle of the battle in a daze, and sure enough, he saw a faint spherical phantom above the guy's head.

And the hunting team members in the battle quickly fell into great panic and confusion:

Even if the death knight is a rare high-end combat power among undead creatures, everyone still knows how much it weighs. With so many masters here, even with the advantage of numbers, they can still kill this damned undead creature. Killing them on the spot, avenging Master Mephisto's blood——

But as soon as they really handed it over, they immediately complained:

For some reason, the death knight that suddenly appeared in the Kemal manor has a much higher combat power than ordinary death knights—not to mention the attacks of the people, if it is cut on the armor of the death knight, there will be a kind of The weird slippery feeling of being bounced off by the invisible magic power, the death knight's rune blade with long-range sword energy alone, in a short battle time, has already killed several negligent and unlucky people!

Naturally, it is impossible for them to know that a certain bloodthirsty wilderness spirit is secretly manipulating the death knight to have fun!

"Niang Xipi..." Xia Houyan looked around and said in a low voice, "I have to let Messi stop as soon as he sees it. I've already done enough drama. If this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to play off..."

Master Laurie rolled his eyes:
"If you have the ability to stop that wasteland murderer, you can try it. Anyway, I think she is in high spirits, so I probably won't listen to you..."

Xia Houyan snorted, and was about to deliver a spiritual message to Messi when suddenly his spine felt hot.

An extremely familiar flaming bird suddenly lifted off from the back of the burning fire tower, stretched its wings, and despised all living beings.

I don't know why, but Xia Houyan always feels that the blood-red eyes of this beast are staring at him...
