Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 277 Kemal has a Bao Qingtian
The piercing gazes of the nobles of the empire all turned to the Shuangfengling camp.

A round bead of sweat rolled down from Master Laurie's wrinkled forehead at that time.

Whether it is Master Laurie or the scum of Frost Maple Ridge under the lord, they all know in their hearts that the reason why their team is so late is because the lord deliberately delays time on the road, lest the Igor family become the vanguard of death— —

——But this kind of thing, put it in the perspective of other imperial nobles, the taste is a little different!

Frost Maple Ridge defied the emperor's decree and was late to the battlefield, but during this time, the Imperial Hunting Team was ambushed by orc soldiers!
As a result, the Frost Maple Ridge team arrived at Kemal Manor after the Imperial Alliance suffered heavy losses. They just avoided the orc ambush and became the only "lucky one" who escaped the ambush...

This pure coincidence, in the eyes of those who are interested, is like a good scene that Shuangfengling and the Beastman Federation discussed in advance and performed together!
And some imperial aristocrats with particularly active minds even thought of the "brilliant" past of the Igor family of Eagle's Rest: Vincent Igor, the father of Master Elliot Igor, the lord of Frost Maple Ridge, was Those who intended to conspire and were shown to the public by His Majesty the Emperor;
In this way, the current Patriarch Igor has hatred for the empire and other nobles, and wants to bring down the empire from within... This seems to be a matter of course!

In just a few seconds, the onlookers of the imperial nobles had imagined a revenge drama that started with "a boy who lost his parents and held grudges" and ended with "betrayed by the orc lord". It was the young and handsome Master Elliot Igor, watching the orcs slaughtering fellow human beings in the dark, with a cruel sneer on his face...

Of course, they would never have imagined that similar scripts were almost used up in the writer's studio of Shuangfengling East Bingku, and even dogs didn't write them...

However, human nature is unwilling to believe in coincidences and random events in life, but has a special liking for the "truth" behind the "invention" incident-for a while, the imperial nobles exposed the evil nature of conspiracy theorists, Suddenly, I became convinced that someone was playing chess behind Shuangfengling's late arrival...

Witnessing the dark clouds of suspicion slowly rising in the hearts of the nobles of the empire, Earl Natwan, the instigator, was even more complacent, so he simply struck while the iron was hot, pointing his finger at the nose of the lord of Shuangfengling and sneered:
"Eliot Igor! Your father betrayed the empire and was ordered to die by His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Mercy spared your life! Unexpected, unexpected, instead of being grateful for His Majesty's magnanimity, you harbor hatred In my heart, I am brewing a conspiracy, wanting to hook up with the orcs and wipe out the elite of the empire! Your Igor family is really an extremely corrupt and evil bloodline!"

As a result, even the imperial knights who had just been rescued by Shuangfengling began to look at the lord of Shuangfengling with complex suspicious eyes, and a few reckless men had already stretched out their hands to the sword-handled hammer at their waists handle.

And behind Xia Houyan, Bai Shuang and Xuan Bing, a pair of cult sisters, secretly held the hilt of the rune sword, making up their minds that if the situation is not good, they must protect it with all their might." The young lord whom Lord Mourner attaches great importance to...

But at this moment, the calmest person in the audience was the senior official Xiahou who was in the middle of the storm.

"Have you finished?" Xia Houyan looked at Earl Netwan calmly and asked indifferently.

After being accused of treason, Lord Shuangfengling was still so calm, so calm that he didn't look like a young man in his early 20s, which made Earl Netwan, who was so excited and scolded, a little at a loss;
However, the Earl of the Withered Wood Forest is also an old Jiang Hu, who knows the truth of pointing to the end and saying too much, so he simply didn't respond to the official Xiahou, but stared at Shuangfeng with a sharp gaze full of justice. Ridge Lord.

Xia Houyan looked at Earl Natwan sympathetically, then rolled up the sleeve of his robe and showed his right hand.

The imperial warriors tightened their expressions, and hurriedly stretched their hands to the weapons at their waists—however, they immediately realized that the young lord of Shuangfengling was not holding any dangerous goods in his hands, but nothing.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Houyan snapped his fingers.

"Here, Hanako." He squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth.

Later, Master Victor Laurie spent the rest of his life thinking about why his lord lord would use the extremely weird syntax of the Imperial Common Language to rename the cigars he bought from the Southern Army as " Gorgeous heir" - but at this moment, after hearing the abbreviation spit out by the lord, Master Laurie still took out a cigar from his sleeve with trembling hands, and tremblingly handed it to the boss.

Xia Houyan took the cigar and put it in his mouth, a spark popped out from his fingertips, igniting the cigar.

"Are you enjoying the last cigar in your life?" Earl Netwan saw this and sneered.

However, for some reason, seeing Lord Shuangfengling's calm behavior, Earl Netwan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"No, it's just that I suddenly felt a little emotional..." Xia Houyan shrugged his shoulders while smoking a cigar, "...why is there always someone fucking looking for death in front of me..."

Earl Netwan frowned.

"Let's put it this way..." Xia Houyan took the cigar from his mouth, glanced contemptuously at Master Laurie who was shaking into sieves, and smiled at the imperial nobles who were watching, "Earl Netwan's accusation is not wrong, we Although Frost Maple Ridge was designated as the vanguard, our hunting team was the last to arrive..."

"Then—" Earl Netwan shouted.

"But!" Xia Houyan snorted, interrupting Earl Netwan's unspoken question, "But, the reason why we were delayed on the road for so long was because I met someone on the road..."

Not only the imperial nobles were stunned, but even the Shuangfengling team members looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because in their memory, the Shuangfengling hunting team came to the Kemal Manor on the way, either shopping or fishing. The only people they "met" were probably the fruit farmers who opened orchards in the north of the imperial capital... …

The boss bought a big basket of apples and ate them while walking...

"Who?" Earl Netwan sneered.

He would like to see what trick Mr. Elliot Eagle was up to.

"As you can see, I have practiced light magic in the academy, and I have a relatively keen insight into some concealment techniques..." Xia Houyan smiled, "When our team is on the way, I will go to the river for convenience. At that time, I found that the light and shadow at the bottom of the river were a bit abnormal..."

Even the team members of Shuangfengling were dumbfounded.

However, the educational achievements of the Political Department of the Pioneering Army came in handy after all: Although they knew the boss was talking nonsense, the hunting team members in Shuangfengling still looked meticulous as if they were listening to party lectures.

Xia Houyan ignored the confused expressions of the imperial nobles, and clapped his hands lightly:

"My reward is that I found this... deserter."

Amid the Lord Lord's applause, a Frost Maple Ridge hunting team member who had been wearing a hood slowly took off the hood, revealing his face——

Then bursts of sounds of hastily drawing weapons resounded throughout the audience——

the reason is simple:
Because under the hood, it turned out to be an ugly green-skinned face——

This is a federal green orc!
"This—" Even Master Laurie was a little frightened:

In Shuangfengling's team, why is there still a beastman bastard? !

Boss, he wouldn't be fucking colluding with the Orc Federation, would he? !

"Everyone, don't be nervous!" Xia Houyan raised his hand holding the cigar and shouted loudly in the midst of the chaos, and pointed to the magic metal collar that was wearing a faint light around the neck of the green-skinned orc. Being controlled by me with a magic lock, it won't hurt everyone!"

Master Namisas from Beiwang County finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and frowned and said:

"Master Igor, what's going on? I hope you can give us all a reasonable explanation!"

Xia Houyan nodded gratefully to Master Namisas, then turned to the surprised and aphasic imperial nobles, saying:
"Everyone, it was this orc friend that I fished out of the river at that time. He seemed to have hid himself on the river bed while escaping, and even covered himself with magic props—and the reason why we were so delayed on the road For a long time, it is precisely because I want to secretly interrogate this captured orc friend..."

"The orc who escaped?" Master Namisas was stunned, "Is he also... an orc ambush who sneaked into the empire?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Houyan grinned, "To be precise, he should be a... spy."

Orc spies?In the minds of the imperial nobles, Qiqi recalled the incident that the imperial city defense army arrested spies and caused a storm in the city a few days ago.

"Tell the lords about your story, 'Friday'." Xia Houyan snapped his fingers again.

With the lord snapping his fingers, a round of strong light radiated from the collar of the orc captive. The burly green-skinned man fell off his horse screaming in pain, and then twitched on the ground with his hands on the collar, obviously suffering Great pain.

Seeing this scene, the magicians and special XP users present all raised their eyebrows in unison:

They found that what was worn around the orc's neck was the high-priced magic item "Wheel of Pain"-this kind of magic collar can not only restrain the physical and magical power of the wearer, but also be driven by the owner's thoughts, give the wearer Bringing extreme pain and torture, it can be called the top tool for torture to extract confessions.

Master Laurie on the side wiped his cold sweat with his sleeves:

He remembered that a total of twenty "Wheels of Pain" were bought on the black market in the imperial capital according to the Lord Lord's order a few days ago. Thinking, this "Wheel of Pain" came in handy so quickly, and it was still used on a green-skinned orc who appeared out of nowhere!
The orc captive twitched a few times on the ground, the magical brilliance of the "Wheel of Pain" finally dimmed, and the orc captive finally stabilized his body, lying on the ground panting heavily, hissing in Common Tongue with a federal accent. Channel:

"I... am... Walras... Broken Fang... Shadowblade Clan..."

The lords of the eastern border of the empire exchanged glances with each other.

The "Shadow Blade Clan" is a notorious tribe in the Orc Federation. Its members often have agility that does not match their burly stature, so they have become the main source of orc spies, assassins, and scouts.

The orc captive still spoke slowly in jerky Common Tongue:
"I... come to... the human capital... communication... the army... chase... the tower... I jump..."

"You came to the human capital... to communicate with people?!" Master Namisas's expression turned serious, he hurried forward two steps, staring at the orc captives on the ground and asked sharply, "What do you mean by 'tower... you jump' ? Could it be..."

Master Namisas was stunned on the spot suddenly, and then suddenly realized, pointing at the orc captive and shouted in surprise:

"Wait! You! You are the orc who was chased by the city defense army and then jumped from the clock tower into the hay cart?! But... But aren't you dead?!"

"Obviously, he's not dead at all." Xia Houyan sneered, holding his cigar in his mouth, crossing his arms, "At that time, the city defense army thought this guy was dead, and they transported it to the morgue for storage...but it was found by this green guy pretending to be dead Opportunity, escaped from the imperial capital—hehe, it's a pity that the Supreme Holy God protects mankind, and I caught you before I ran too far!"

"Oh my God!" an imperial knight shouted, "No wonder I heard that a corpse was lost by the city defense army! I dare say this orc bastard pretended to be dead and escaped!"

The orcs on the ground grunted weakly and pained a few times, acknowledging the above facts.

"So, Lord Igor, you caught a fleeing orc..." Master Namisas twisted his beard and said, "And then? Why did you sneak him to Kemal Manor?"

"Because I want to know who is the ghost of the empire who communicates with the Orc Federation!" Xia Houyan smiled coldly, "Everyone should know that Master Victor Laurie of our territory is a master of spiritual magic In front of him, there is no prisoner who can't speak and tell the truth!"

At this moment, Master Laurie also realized that the situation on the field seemed to have reversed, so he proudly raised his chest;

— Just like spiritual magic is not forbidden magic.

Xia Houyan stepped on the orc captive on the ground with one foot, and said with a smile:
"According to this orc friend, the ghost of the empire who joined him was an aristocratic lord, but he only recognized the other person's appearance, but didn't know the name—no, the Kemal Manor where the imperial lords gathered together, no Is it the best place to identify the ghost? Come on, 'Friday', tell me, who is the traitor to the empire that you are connecting with?"

The orc captive lying on the ground stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at...

Earl Philip Netwand.

So the piercing gazes of the imperial nobles shifted their targets once again.

——The heads of these melon-eating people are turning around, as if they are doing cervical spine exercises.

"What?!" Earl Netwan was startled and angry, and then he reacted and cursed, "Eliot Igor! You have been in collusion with this orc for a long time, and you want to act and frame me Right?! He is a member of your team, and who he identifies as the 'insider' is not up to you?!"

"It's a pity, you should be the one who wants to 'act and set the blame' on others, right?" Xia Houyan shook his head pityingly, "Of course the confession of an orc captive is not enough to convict you... It's a pity Ah, after I came to Kemal Manor, I found another piece of iron evidence that can prove your crime of treason, Philip Netwan!"
