Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 376 News from afar

In the misty cold fog of the Burning Crystal Canyon, Marquis Lane Grant, the commander of the Imperial Central Army, entered a short-term shutdown state, as if his brain was leaking due to excessive air humidity.

To the surprise of the human soldiers and attendants on the side, it was the pale and frail Grand Duke Grim Rosario who stepped forward obliquely, replacing the lost soul of Marquis Grant, and took over the orc envoy. stern questioning:
"'Let the flames of war affect innocent civilians'? Then Mr. Envoy, may I ask how the human civilians in the vast occupied area east of the Burning Crystal Canyon were exploited and slaughtered, and how do you explain it?"

The orc envoy looked at Grand Duke Rosario - although the grand duke's face was still sick, but the gorgeous armor on his body, and the sense of majesty formed by the high-ranking nobles for a long time, still made this experienced orc envoy Get serious.

"Your Excellency the Human," the orc envoy replied coldly, "You can go to the occupied area of ​​the Great Federation and take a look for yourself... Our Federation only kills rioters who try to cause trouble, but none The federal saber has encountered honest human civilians—on the contrary, it is you humans who started the war and harmed all beings, I don’t think you should question my position.”

Immediately afterwards, the Grand Duke Rosario and the orc envoy actually refuted with diplomatic rhetoric at the head of Yuanwang City, which was filled with cold fog.

The Marquis Grant, who came back to his senses a little bit, and the human soldiers and attendants on the top of the city stared dumbfounded at the orc envoys loudly reprimanding the human empire for "slaughtering civilians, insidious sneak attacks, and using evil magic". Unyieldingly respond to the "glorious deeds" of oppressing civilians in the occupied area by orcs, secretly attacking the southern border of the empire, using necromancy and ambushes to cause tragedy in the Kemal Manor.

At the end of the contest between the two sides, the orc envoy was driven into a hurry. He slammed his hat on the wall, yelled some cruel words such as "revenge", "plow the court and sweep the hole", then turned his head and got back into the bamboo basket , obviously unwilling to have any communication with these "shameless humans".

The Marquis Grant, who was confused by Monk Zhang Er, could only snap his fingers at the magicians, signaling them to use wind magic to send this inexplicable orc envoy back to the city——

——The two armies fought without killing each other. Although the Marquis Grant felt resentful and wished to skin all the green-skinned orcs, he couldn't publicly do anything out of the ordinary.

But until he watched the orc envoy walk away in the mist, Marquis Grant still had question marks on his mind:

The reason is very simple - because, why does he, the commander of the Central Army, seem to know nothing about the bullshit things that the orc envoy said? !

What "massacre of civilians"?What "insidious sneak attack"?What "uses evil magic"?
His grandma, since last autumn, the unlucky human army has been chased by the ice demon mammoth for hundreds of miles. Empty to "slaughter orc civilians"?
I fucking want to!
Let me ask, in this war full of humiliation and failure, who on the Eastern Front has a bit of backbone in the empire, who would not want to kill the stupid orcs east of the Dust Mountains?
But we imperial people also have to have this fucking strength!

The Marquis of Lane Grant felt as if he had been scolded completely without thinking, and was held up by these orc envoys for an unwarranted shit basin, so he felt so aggrieved!
——If I am really an evil dragon, then you call me an evil beast that kills the wild, and I am too happy;

——But today's human beings in the empire are so deflated that they can only be turtles in the Burning Crystal Canyon. If you call me an evil dragon, isn't this fucking mocking and humiliating me for my lack of strength? !

Marquis Ryan Grant, who had so many question marks in his heart as if the program stack overflowed and reported frequent errors, finally realized that there seemed to be only one qualified programmer on the scene who could debug his thinking script.

"Grimm!" Ryan Grant raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?!"

"What's the matter?" Grand Duke Rosario looked at Marquis Grant with a confused face, as if the other party asked an extremely immature mentally retarded question, "The federal orcs are impatient, and sent envoys to vent their anger! This Is there anything strange, Commander Grant?"

"Don't be a fucking fool for me!" Marquis Grant couldn't bear it any longer, and pointed at Duke Rosario's nose and cursed, "What did that orc envoy mean? What's the 'slaughter of civilians'? What's the 'sneak attack'?" ?what?"

Grand Duke Rosario stared blankly at Marquis Grant, and then gradually revealed an expression of enlightenment.

It was probably done on purpose, the acting skills of the Grand Duke’s expression changes were a bit clumsy, and the surrounding human soldiers couldn’t help covering their mouths and laughing——Although the Marquis Lane Grant is an excellent field commander, his soldiers are quite equal. Harsh, the human soldiers on the Burning Crystal Canyon, especially the former soldiers of the Eastern Army, have long been unhappy with him.

The Marquis Grant was even more annoyed when he watched the performance of the Grand Duke Rosario, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

"No way..." Grand Duke Rosario looked at Marquis Grant and said in disbelief, "O Holy Spirit, don't you know about this, my dear Commander Grant? Ah... I remembered, When I was recuperating in Eternal Sun City, I heard that you thought that 'the Whitehall of Rose City is a bunch of trash', so they didn't submit the latest information to you during this period, so as not to waste your time with a bunch of trash..."

Marquis Grant's face turned green.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army around them looked at her deflated, and they felt a sense of sadness in their hearts——White Hall of Rose City is an intelligence agency established by the Rosario family through generations of hard work, and it is also an intelligence agency led by the entire Eastern Army. proud crown jewel;
A few days ago, when Grand Duke Rosario was recuperating and he monopolized the command of the Burning Crystal Canyon, the Marquis Grant made frequent comments and insults to the members of the Eastern Army;
So all the ghouls know that since the Grand Duke has come out of the mountain again, he must support and avenge his children;
But no one expected that the present report would come so quickly!

Grand Duke Rosario shook his head, took a stack of documents from the attendant behind him, and handed it to the bearded and staring Marquis Leon Grant.

While the Marquis Grant was looking through the stack of intelligence documents, Grand Duke Rosario slowly but clearly recited the above content for all the human soldiers watching:
"33 days ago, an imperial cavalry team code-named 'Flying Tiger' secretly crossed the Dusty Mountains and broke into the territory of the Glorious Federation, at the edge of the Tongge Desert.

"29 days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' arrived in the southern part of the Glorious Federation. At night, it attacked the Leijiao tribal village, annihilating its combat population and completely burning its buildings.

"27 days ago, 'Flying Tiger' arrived at the village of the Frostfoot Tribe, attacked at night, and wiped out its combat population.

"26 days ago, 'Flying Tiger' arrived at the village of the Redstone Tribe, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with it, and retreated safely under the cover of magicians after burning half of the buildings in its territory.

"23 days ago, all the orc tribes in the south of the Glorious Federation received the news, urgently mobilized their population, and formed a temporary army under the guidance of the shaman of the Blood Council of Bloodthorn City to encircle and suppress the 'Flying Tiger'. Today, 'Flying Tiger' 'Attacked the Gale tribe and encountered fierce resistance.

"22 days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' quickly retreated from the village of the Gale Tribe, avoiding the direction of the main force of the Southern Orc Temporary Corps, and attacked the village of the Red Stone Tribe again, wiping out its remaining combat population.

"Nineteen days ago, in the early morning, the 'Flying Tiger' met the main force of the Southern Orc Temporary Corps, fought and retreated, and successfully withdrew to the northwest into the sphere of influence of Baita City, the main northwest city of the Federation. The temporary Corps formed by Bloodthorn City is inconvenient Crossing the border to suppress bandits, he was forced to withdraw his troops.

"Eighteen days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' attacked the northwest of the Federation and looted a food delivery unit.

"Seventeen days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' attacked the Longya tribe's village, wiped out one-third of its combat population, and retreated.

"Fifteen days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' attacked the Shenen tribe's village and set fire to it.

"Fourteen days ago, Bloodthorn City and the orcs of White Tower City reached an agreement, and the temporary regiment of Bloodthorn City entered the White Tower City in order to encircle the 'Flying Tiger'.

"Twelve days ago, under the guidance of 'Flying Tiger', the temporary regiment of Bloodthorn City was ambushed, and was besieged by the skeleton army commanded by the orc necromancer 'Ner'zhul' who had betrayed the empire, causing heavy losses.

"Eleven days ago, the troops of Bloodthorn City retreated to the southwestern region of the Federation in embarrassment.

"Ten days ago, at night, the 'Flying Tiger' encountered the coalition forces of the Northwest Region of the Federation. On that day, the Glorious Federation urgently withdrew the 'Pride of the God of War' division from the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon to assist in the eradication of the 'Flying Tiger'.

"Nine days ago, the 'Flying Tiger' successfully broke through the siege of the coalition forces in the Northwest Region, broke up into parts, scattered across the border river Xuetao River in the Northwest and Southwest regions of the Federation, and then entered the Southwest Region of the Federation.

"Nine days to three days ago, a small group of 'Flying Tiger' troops quickly approached Bloodthorn City, the main city in the southwestern part of the Glorious Federation, in a scattered manner. The undead troops of the orcs rebelling against the necromancer 'Ner'zhul' achieved great results. During this period , Looting several federal transportation troops and merchant teams.

"At the same time, according to internal information, the surviving refugees from various villages attacked by the 'Flying Tiger' launched a joint protest to the Orc Blood Council in Bloodthorn City.

"Three days ago, the main force of 'Flying Tiger' reunited near Bloodthorn City and planned the next offensive."

Grand Duke Rosario finished speaking in a series of words, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"The above information was communicated by 'Flying Tiger' and Rose City's Whitehall agent 'Spring Breeze' through one-way communications with winter pigeons and encrypted text. Commander Grant, intelligence is the lifeblood of war. If nothing happens on weekdays, you'd better look at Bai The hall's report is good."

On the walls of Yuanwang City, there was a deathly silence.

From the stunned Marquis Lane Grant, to every human non-commissioned officer, staff officer, and attendant beside him, no one could say a word.

Only the spiritual song of the orc shaman calling for the souls of his compatriots was heard from afar from the Burning Crystal Canyon below the city, which seemed extremely ethereal and illusory in the mist.

"What... what?" Marquis Lane Grant regained control of his mouth muscles with great difficulty, "but... what? 'Fly'...'Flying Tiger'? Rosario, you actually have a The secret army that can sneak into the federal border and burn, kill and loot all the way has been hiding from us? But—"

"First of all, the 'Flying Tiger' is not my unit. Secondly, the reason why I did not disclose the battle situation of the 'Flying Tiger' to you is purely for confidentiality." Grand Duke Rosario said indifferently, "But look at these orc envoys. It’s obvious that I’m aware of the fire in my backyard, so I don’t need to keep Feihu’s outstanding record a secret—they deserve all the glory and praise.”

"But... but... how?" Ryan Grant stammered, his red beard trembling, "That's the federal orcs! It's not your army... But there are not enough elite cavalry in the empire to fight The orc bastards of the Federation have been around for so long?"

"Yes." Rosario said lightly, "They are soldiers from Shuangfengling."

Frost Maple Ridge... For all the imperial people present, this is a name that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Strange because, until two years ago, this was a place name of the place of Soul Breaking that was completely unknown to people in the Central Plains;

I am familiar with it because of the Kemal Manor tragedy, because of the precarious St. Augustus Festival, and because the human soldiers on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon have been able to survive until now because they I know that at the critical juncture last winter, there was a group of aliens who guarded the Lion Heart River on the southern border of the empire for them.

Deathly silence.

Grand Duke Rosario turned his head, looked straight into the absent-minded eyes of Marquis Lane Grant, and said word by word:
"Commander Grant, just now, you asked me what I was waiting for? Then I will answer you now - I am waiting for the good news of this Frost Maple Ridge Cavalry Expeditionary Force named 'Flying Tiger'. Then I will answer you now - They, the 'Flying Tigers' of Frost Maple Ridge, they will set fire to the orc granaries, they will avenge my compatriots whose bones lie in the bloody front, they will become the Empire's stalemate in the sixth human-orc war A winning move on the chessboard."

Then, Grand Duke Rosario turned to the soldiers at the top of the city and said loudly:
"My human brothers, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or no matter how many days later, the orcs on the opposite side of the Burning Crystal Canyon will definitely launch another offensive against us-this offensive will be stronger than ever before, than yesterday's one Crazier, more tyrannical, more fierce... But please remember, this will be their last attack in this war; but please remember, the reason why the orcs on the other side of the canyon launched this attack is not Because of strength, but because of fear—fear of what is happening in their hinterland, just like the humans in the occupied area fear them, fear of destruction and massacre again and again! And we, we, the people of the empire who are on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon , we will hold on to this impenetrable wall with hope, courage and perseverance—because we don’t need to be afraid, because we are absolutely sure that there are still a group of people living in the depths of the Glorious Commonwealth far away. Our dearest human brothers on the land of the cracked soul are fighting with blood and fire to secure the victory of this war! Let us persevere to the end, for the sake of the empire, and for the sake of the Supreme Holy Spirit!"
