Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 270
Xia Houyan raised his head slightly and observed the situation on the field.

Perhaps because Messi was busy talking to himself and had no time to control "artificial man No. [-]", the death knight, who was knocked down by the arm of the Red Flame Vulture again, writhed painfully in the pit this time. Time seems to have no intention of getting up.

This also led to the human magic that had been unconditionally washing the ground at the two monsters, and all of their brains greeted the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture in the air.

The empire sent various hunting teams participating in the St. Augustus Festival to hunt this purgatory raptor. Of course, it was not consuming human lives for no reason:
The top elites sent by the major territories are powerful enough to disdain any magical creature!
If it wasn't for being attacked by orc ambushes, and Master Mephisto, who was supposed to be in charge of the audience to prevent accidents, ran to the street in misery. How could a mere Scarlet Flame Vulture win favor with the human team?

But having said that, the elite masters supported by the human's millennium background also quickly demonstrated their true strength.

The confrontation on the field of fire for the previous few hours was not because the human alliance was really afraid of the arrogance of the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, but because this group of experienced elites chose the safest option after encountering a surprise attack by orcs and heavy casualties. Strategy against the enemy!

The group of Shuangfengling scum who have been busy picking up corpses on this side of the Fire Tower naturally did not know that on the battlefield on the other side of the Fire Tower, it was the Red Flame Demon Vulture who blindly attacked, and the human mage group set up "Evans "Magic enchantment" passive defense posture - and the classic strategy of the human mage group in the past hundred years is to use this legendary magic circle that can eliminate magic attacks one by one to consume every bit of magic power in the opponent's body!
Now that the battlefield has shifted to this side of the manor, the tactics of the human alliance are still changing:

A large number of low-level mages set up a round defensive barrier, turning every wave of magic fire sprayed from the sky by the Red Flame Demon Vulture into calm ripples, while the imperial knights who set up enchanted kite shields protected themselves in the knot. Arrange around the magician to prevent the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture from making a physical pounce on the spur of the moment:
The honored knights sent by the major territories are all well-tested battlefield masters. Facing a critical situation at this moment, they don't even need any training and adaptation, they can cooperate seamlessly without any grievances, and put their descendants together. Rest assured to colleagues, in disguise, it shows that the human empire can stand against the orcs and demons for thousands of years, who is the mainstay in this land!

However, as time went by, the balance of the war gradually tilted after all:
The passive defense strategy of the human mage group is not to play tricks, but to have meaning!
While the low-level mages formed a defensive formation, the high-level mages, who were wounded in the orc raid and whose mana was exhausted, seized every minute and every second to receive emergency treatment from priests and doctors—to ensure safety , the major hunting teams originally carried a large amount of supplies, but at this moment, with the intensive input of magic potions, magic bandages and holy healing arts, the wounded of the territorial hunting teams returned to the battlefield with a spirit of 120 points:
Seeing the fire of purgatory on the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture gradually dimming due to the excessive consumption of magic power, the magic power of human beings is completely showing a thriving trend of ebb and flow:

In addition to the low-level mages who maintain the "Evans Magic Barrier", more and more magic masters have begun to free up their hands to use magic to fight back against the Scarlet Flame Vulture—you know, the people sent by the territories to participate in the hunting competition The elite, among them there are even elementary and intermediate tutors from various magic departments!

For a while, the magic arrows shot by the magisters of various territories interweaved a colorful magic firepower net in the fiery red night sky. Superb flying skills, dodging left and right, playing a barrage game in the air - don't look at the magic arrows flying in the air, which are gaudy and look like special effects, but each of them is the crystallization of the lifetime skills of a mentor-level magician, even a powerful one Purgatory creatures, every hit is a bloody penetrating wound;

What made the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture most desperate was that, seeing the turn of the battle, strong magical fluctuations suddenly began to ripple in the air, and the obscure notes of the ancient Aeolian runes kept coming and going, obviously some unworthy human beings. The good human magician, relying on the escort of Evans' magic barrier, began to chant some lengthy high-level incantations...

High-level magic is not a free-flowing spell like elemental arrows. Almost any large-scale spell that needs to be chanted for a long time can create an epic effect of changing the color of mountains and rivers:

It stands to reason that the best way to fight against high-level magic is to kill the magician who summoned the spell with one wing while the chanting has not yet completed his half-stroke—the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, which can be covered by the dense magic firepower, is about to die at this moment. Even if self-protection is laborious, how can it be possible to break through Evans' magic barrier and the protection of the imperial knights, and drive these arrogant human mages into retarded minds?

It has to be said that the human alliance's protracted war strategy of "exchanging magic power for time" is indeed extremely correct. With the recovery of the combat power of the top mages, the entire battle between humans and demons has quickly turned from a stalemate to a strategic counterattack stage.

What can be used as proof is that Master Victor Laurie of Shuangfeng Ridge originally planned to lie on the ground with the lord and pretend to be dead, but he couldn't stand the infection of the fierce fighting atmosphere, so an old man came to chat with the young man Crazy, a carp jumped up from the ground, chanted a "hypnosis spell" towards the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, and achieved the glorious result of "making the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture blink":

——No way, the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, who has experienced fierce battles in the purgatory blood sea, has an outrageously high magic defense like a giant dragon. It almost requires high-power magic power to break the defense. Master Laurie's "hypnosis spell" "Of course it can't do anything.

However, even Master Laurie took the initiative to participate in the battle, which also explained that the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture is in a state of defeat at the moment, and everyone wants to pick peaches:

While the magician's firepower projection was approaching step by step, seeing the flames of purgatory on the surface of the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture faintly extinguished under the high-intensity magic bombardment, the archers and crossbowmen of the imperial hunting team also Finally found a wonderful fighter, the sharp arrow is on the string, and the long lead is fired!

Countless "Thrace Annihilation Arrows" penetrated the scarlet sky, pierced the brilliance of the galaxy, and also penetrated the body surface of the Red Flame Demon Vulture that had lost the protection of high-temperature flames!
If in Stardew Valley at that time, the "Babylon dense steel needle" made of Frost Maple Ridge was just a blow to the head that looked huge and humiliating, but the actual damage was limited, then the imperial elite shot The countless "Thrace Annihilation Arrows" are like countless poisonous bee stings, injecting deadly toxin into the blood of this purgatory beast through one wound after another that is invisible compared to the huge size of the firebird!
The "Thrace Annihilation Arrow" used by the imperial hunting team was not the batch of mass-produced goods supplied to the Southern Army that Karen Lepergue had intercepted. It can be said that each of them showed their magical powers, and the various rune circles engraved on the annihilation crossbow arrows were far beyond the limit of the imagination of the poor ghosts of Shuangfengling.

The moment the iron arrowhead of the "Thrace Annihilation Arrow" sank into the body of the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, the rune circle hidden inside the crossbow was activated immediately, injecting the turbulent flow of violent elements into the body of the flaming beast In an instant, the skin around the place where the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture was shot by the arrow twisted and twitched like countless little snakes.

The lord of Shuangfengling looked at the fiery battlefield with a good eye, and rolled his eyes into the air:

"Fuck, this battle is almost over. Why do I still use the taboo magic 'Finger of Death' to intervene? I'm full and full, do I think my life will last?"

"This is a purgatory beast comparable to a giant dragon!" Messi's voice was full of temptation, "Kill this big roast chicken, and your name will shine in the annals of history, and it will even be written in front of those famous dragon slaying heroes ..."

"If I kill that bird, what benefits will you get?" Xia Houyan asked coldly.

Messi's voice stopped abruptly.

After a long time, the invisible wraith of the wilderness replied embarrassingly:
"Hmm... After you kill this Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture, I should, maybe, probably... be able to absorb a little magic residue?"

"A little magic?"

"A little bit!" Messi's voice was extremely sincere, "It's really just a little bit!"

Xia Houyan didn't believe in words like "a little bit" a long time ago.

"Come on! I'm not stupid enough to use the forbidden magic of the grandmaster level casually in front of the masters everywhere..." Lord Shuangfengling shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that I have killed the giant dragon, and the point of beheading the purgatory beast Fame, I haven't taken it to heart yet... As for whether you can absorb magic power...it's none of my business?"

Although he couldn't hear Messi's answer, Xia Houyan guessed that Ya should be holding his middle finger in the void.

Oh yes, there is no middle finger...

"But having said that..." Xia Houyan looked around, and suddenly got up with his hands on his hands, "You reminded me of something!"

Because he saw several members of the Frost Maple Ridge hunting team rushing over from the "field hospital" under the leadership of Chris Mann.

"My lord!" Chris ran forward panting, first glanced at the Imperial mage group and shooter group who were crazily projecting firepower not far away, and then looked at the belly dancing in the air, desperately trying to avoid the attack. The Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture of the Eastern player, "Are you okay!"

"It's mostly fine." Xia Houyan patted his carbon-stained buttocks, and tidied up the leather armor on his body, "Why are you here?"

"We saw the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture taking off, and we are afraid that you will be in danger..." Chris pointed to the giant firebird in the sky.

"It's that beast that's in danger, not me." The lord sneered, and then said solemnly, "But you came at the right time, and there is a problem that needs to be dealt with..."

"What's the problem?" Chris was confused.

Xia Houyan cleared his throat and pointed to the other side of the battlefield.

Chris followed the boss's instructions and looked around, but was stunned in place as if struck by lightning.

Because he saw that several imperial knights were beating around a big black armored knight, just like a percussion music party - but it seemed that the imperial knights were not dominant, and every now and then an unlucky ghost was beaten by the black armored knight. Vigorously lifted up, lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

"Death knight?!" Chris's voice became high-pitched, "Where did this guy come from?!"

Xia Houyan coughed twice with embarrassment.

As the main force of the empire began to exchange fire with the Scarlet Flame Vulture, the death knight "Artificial Man No. [-]", which was the focus of the attack before, has quickly escaped from the main battlefield-for now, the imperial hunting team has only assigned a few elite knights Fighting with "Artificial Man No. [-]" so that it will not interfere with the frontal battle against the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture is obviously determined to take care of this undead creature after the Scarlet Flame Demon Vulture is dead;
Of course, the current Messi did not try his best when controlling the Death Knight:

At present, every move of "Artificial Human One" is extremely soft, just like acting in a house.

"How is it?" Xia Houyan patted Chris on the shoulder, "Our Frost Maple Ridge hunting team hasn't contributed much in this hunting competition, Chris, you take our people and take care of this death knight. It can be considered as a contribution to the empire, how about it?"

"Uh..." Chris' face suddenly became ugly.

Xia Houyan rolled his eyes, pulled Chris and lowered his voice:

"Don't be afraid, this death knight was created by me... You just take our people to pretend to fight, and try to bring its 'corpse' back to the territory intact-let those bastards of the Empire be crushed It, my fucking spell limit is useless..."

For a moment, Chris was speechless and had no choice but to salute a straight military salute.
