Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 412 Always Ready
On the morning of the second day when General Virgil's life underwent a major change, our Lord Frost Maple Ridge was busy...

... scolding mother.

"How many times have I said, pay attention to the problem of style, pay attention to the problem of style!" Sitting in the big tent of the camp, the lord slammed, knocking on the table with Alice's golden majestic sword, "Now you are all fucking floating, aren't you? I didn’t even listen to what I said, did I?!”

Under the tent, a group of high-ranking members of the Igor family stood disheveled and dejected, being scolded.

"Your Majesty, Queen Anya, you showed me the secret records of Teco in Yongsun City last night!" Xia Houyan took a stack of documents from Mountbatten, and angrily threw them on the table, "Look! You guys, you’ve come to Gentle Township, right? You don’t need to take political classes at the Huangpo Military Academy, right? The long road is long and you’re allowed to make it, right? Let’s see what you’ve done in the city these days since you came to Yongri City How many good things happened?!"

The scolded Shuangfengling horse boys didn't even dare to breathe.

"Come on, let's count one by one, and whoever did it will stand up and admit it!" Xia Houyan sneered and picked up a page of documents, glanced down, and snorted, "... five days ago, in the north of Yongri City 'Michelin Tavern', asking a genie dancer to strip in public...who did it?!"

Master Victor Laurie stretched out his finger and loosened the collar of the mage's robe.

Xia Houyan dropped this document, picked up another one, and read:

"... asked the local elf tax collectors for kickbacks, and demanded that the stolen money be sent to the designated mailbox at No. 22, Kapok Street... Which beast did this?"

Pavol Eldridge surreptitiously pulled the red scarf over his face.

The lord picked up another elf newspaper, slapped the table and cursed:

"And this... the night before yesterday, someone secretly called five elven prostitutes from the 'Xinghui Brothel' to have fun in his tent! Fucking five! I usually don't play like this! Who ? Who is this?!"

Captain Aaron Cousins ​​frowned and retreated behind everyone.

"I won't read the rest!" Xia Houyan turned into a desktop cleaning master, and swept the report of elf spies on the table, "Look at these crap, this is not to let the elves of Eternal Sun City, Do you see the joke about our Shuangfengling?! Is there still a law in our territory? Is there still a law?!"

Sweat dripped from the foreheads of all the guilty officials.

"Actually, I can understand everyone very well..." Xia Houyan sat back in his seat, leaning on the golden sword of majesty and sighed, "I said at the very beginning that the lord's long-cherished sleep at night and the blue thread of the road are also for the sake of letting everyone, including you I want to live a good life for the largest and largest Igor people—now that our territory is developed, if we can’t find a few elf girls to have fun in Yongsun City, then what are we fighting for?”

All the boys nodded and said, Lord Lord, you are right.

"But people can't forget their roots!" Xia Houyan took a long breath to cover his tears, lamenting how difficult the territory is. "You high-level leaders are busy taking bribes, taking bribes, and picking up girls for dinner. What will the soldiers who are still training hard think? What would the farmers and craftsmen who plowed and hammered nails in the land of the broken soul think? Don’t forget that we are here today because of the support of the people!”

"So, pay attention to my style in the future! Pay attention to the influence! If you want leisure and entertainment, don't miss a big deal!" Xia Houyan handed back the golden majestic sword to Alice, folded his arms and sneered, "For example, among you Some people, go to the elf tavern to order a striptease, can't you fucking call the elf dancer to the camp to have a good time with the brothers?! Some people, find the elf officials to eat and drink, fill themselves At the same time as the wallet, can’t you make some contributions to the territory’s finances?! Especially the one who called five elf prostitutes—I don’t even care about you, do you know what it means to be alone and happy together? ?!"

The senior members of the Igor family were reprimanded by the lord, and they were heartbroken and ashamed.

"We came to the Eastern Territory to do business, and there are more than [-] orcs on the opposite side of the Burning Crystal Canyon, staring at us every day! Who did these shitty things, and the specific list, in fact, Anya also gave I am dead, but I did not take it apart to look, and it burned down in a short while, let it go!" The lord patted the table, "I will think about it when I go back, and the meeting is adjourned!"

Everyone seemed to be pardoned, buried their heads and scattered like birds and beasts.

Sean Mountbatten, who had been standing by the lord's side all this time, saw that everyone was almost gone, so he whispered:

"My lord, I have already obtained all the information about the East Territory."

"Let's go out for a while and talk while walking." Xia Houyan pulled Alice to stand up and walked out of the tent. Mountbatten nodded hurriedly and followed quickly.

As soon as he got out of the tent, the bright sunshine of Eternal Sun City made Xia Houyan's eyes hurt a little, but the scent of flowers that filled the air and was unique to elf towns still improved his mood very well.

While the lord was emphasizing the issue of discipline to the Shuangfengling officials in the tent, the soldiers of the "Shuangfengling Labor Art Troupe" were still busy training and preparing for the battle.

After the restorative line-up practice a few days ago, the training subjects of the Shuangfengling thugs have quickly advanced to the actual combat stage.On the specially opened school field in the center of the camp, many Shuangfengling infantrymen were fighting each other with wooden weapons. From time to time, instructors who were proficient in martial arts came forward to make a few remarks.

On the shooting range farther away, the Frost Maple Ridge shooters were practicing the use of the newly issued crossbow bolts.

A long time ago, the hand crossbows used by the Shuangfengling shooting troops were mainly second-hand demons seized from the Luna Village. Later, various trophies were added, and finally the shooting equipment configuration of the territory was naturally changed to the Wan Guo brand.

Like infantry weapons, if the brand is mixed, it will be miscellaneous, and it is fine to use it while it is easy to use. However, because the bows and arrows used by the archers must be matched, the original A San-style chaotic configuration is actually for Shuangfengling. It brought a lot of logistical pressure and training difficulty.

So this time when he led the team to Yongri City, Xia Houyan became ruthless, and spent a lot of money to negotiate an arms purchase agreement with Queen Anya, and replaced the standard crossbows in the territory with the "Hippocampus hand crossbow" made by Yongri City. ——These elf equipments are uniformly made of magic plant materials. Not only can they stably shoot the "Thrace Annihilation Arrow" over 300 meters, but they can also be powered by wind magic power. There is no disadvantage except that it is expensive.

The archers of the "Frost Maple Ridge Labor Art Troupe" are now practicing the use of this new equipment under the guidance of the elf instructors.

As for the straw men used by the Shuangfengling archers as shooting targets, in addition to the tall orc models, there are also many models with human physiques, which makes all viewers doubt that this expedition armed Who is the imaginary enemy?

As for the further distance of the shooting range, the craftsmen of Frost Maple Ridge are busy overhauling several "Flesh and Blood" chariots.

The famous "blood and blood disaster" on the mainland was basically captured by Xia Houyan from the federal army in several major battles. This time he asked Shuangfengling to return the "Blaze of Flesh and Flesh", but the lord has always been a bastard when it comes to spoils of war, and he can't let go of his bite.

After being pulled back to Frost Maple Ridge, these "flesh and blood" chariots were also precision modified by "Manhattan Laboratory".

By modifying the engine of the original "Flesh and Flesh" to the "Frost Maple Ridge I" engine capable of using "Fujimoto Tree Fuel", the speed, battery life and projection capabilities of these war machines have made great progress; After the shoddy Federation Ballista on the top of "Blaze of Blood" was replaced with Master Nicholson's masterpiece "Kill You 3000", the widely criticized accuracy problem of "Blade of Blood" has also been improved.

Today, Shuangfengling's modified version of "Flesh and Flesh" is almost worthy of the mainland's top mobile siege equipment, but because it is a new product, it still needs a long time of actual combat testing.

It is actually not easy to swagger through the city with so many lethal weapons. In order to conform to the identity of the "Labor Army Art Troupe", these chariots were covered with flowers, olive branches and anti-war slogans before departure, and the skull logo on the front was also replaced. Anti-war signs, the whole car looks very loving and peaceful, very hippie.

"The 'Flesh and Flesh' and the 'Northern Blizzard Mages' are ready to go to the 'Civil Fort' to support the front line of the eastern border." Mountbatten noticed the gaze of the lord, and reported, "But sending troops to support is not unilateral It can be decided, I am still waiting for the permission from the Eastern Army.”

"Then there's no rush." ​​Xia Houyan thought for a while, and said, "In a war, the last entrants will always earn a lot of money—we'll go to the city when the regular army of the Empire and the orcs have a hard time fighting each other. The civil fort is also in time."

"Lord Lord, I agree with you." Sean Mountbatten said with a grin. "At the very least, we have to wait for the elves in Eversun City to send troops before we consider leaving."

"We help Grand Duke Rosario and support the frontline, that's to repay him for helping us before—but he didn't say when we have to go! There's no rush!" Xia Houyan nodded and smiled, "Speaking of it' Elves of Eversun City, what I ordered..."

"It's all done! Don't worry!" Mountbatten lowered his voice, but he couldn't hold back the smirk on his face.

"You need a heavy hammer to beat the drums, but you have to use special methods to deal with diehards." Xia Houyan laughed.

"The key is the information on the orcs on the other side of the Burning Crystal Canyon..." Mountbatten took out the folder that had been under his arm, flipped through it and said, "I have been sorting out information these days, and there is Kenny Clever The Whitehall information submitted was also collected by me from various sources—by the way, the local Thin Burial Sect also contributed a lot.”

Xia Houyan let out a "huh".

After talking with Isa Sandria about the cooperation of the Bombling Sect, Shuangfengling has not been too concerned about the operation of this group of undead cults.

However, in the past six months, Isha's status in the church seems to have been further improved. Although the "Thin Burial Sect" still did not provide any substantial rewards, relying on the secrets of the Bo Burial Sect lurking in major cities and regions, you guys are really happy. A lot of valuable information was sent to the Shuangfengling Military Statistics Bureau.

It is absurd to say that Xia Houyan only learned a few days ago that there are many secret believers in the belief of the god of death among the people at the bottom of this eternal sun city - a group of noble elves are so desperate that they believe in taboo secret religion, This can only make people sigh, no one's life is hard these days.

Sean Mountbatten didn't know what the lord was thinking, and continued to report:

"According to the information, it can be preliminarily determined that the main force of the Federation currently gathered on the east side of the Burning Crystal Canyon consists of two major armies and seven divisions, or more than 7 people. And if you add the Federation's servant army , the human puppet army conscripted from the occupied area of ​​the eastern border, as well as other armed forces and civilians, the number of orcs stationed on the main battlefield of the eastern border should reach [-] to [-]—even if the ceasefire agreement has been reached, they still There is no sign of a withdrawal, apparently ready to wait for the ceasefire to end before continuing to attack."

Xia Houyan nodded silently.

12 people, this is a very important number of troops on the mainland, but today's Shuangfengling is not afraid of this - in fact, the armed forces of Shuangfengling on the land of cracking souls are all big and small. The number has already exceeded ten thousand, and the two thousand "artists" he brought to the north are all elites who are one against ten.

Therefore, Xia Houyan is actually not too worried about the comparison of combat power between the two sides: the battlefield space is limited, sometimes even if you bring 100 million people, you have to fill the front line with 1000 people and 1000 people due to the terrain and the situation.

And on the limited battlefield, he has enough confidence that the fighters of Frost Maple Ridge will not lose to any conventional armed forces in the mainland—unless there are super-high-level magicians and high-level magical beasts on the battlefield that break the balance.

——Except for one necromancer, there are no other high-level magic masters in charge. This is also a pain point in the military construction of Shuangfengling.

However, the necromantic magic of Big Brother Yan Wangye can create miracles, and Xia Houyan firmly believes in this.

Therefore, what the empire really needs to worry about is actually the strength of the regular army of the empire:

The Eastern Army and the Central Army suffered heavy casualties in the past battles, and it is hard to say how many troops are left now-therefore, the top priority for the Imperial Army is to replenish enough troops to support the front line, so that it can cope with the Federation's [-] troops. army.

Fortunately, Grand Duke Rosario chose to fortify the wall and clear the field, and concentrate his troops to defend the "civil fort".

This strategy can at least alleviate some of the empire's disadvantages in terms of military strength.

"It should be fortunate that the orc shaman is an auxiliary elemental power, not as good at causing mass destruction as human magicians." Mountbatten said with a wry smile, "but their 'Ice Demon Mammoth' still cannot be ignored ——If it is impossible to effectively fight against this large monster with both physical and demon resistance, it will be difficult for human beings to gain an advantage in battle."

"Then it depends on the Imperial Griffin Knight." Xia Houyan lit a cigar and sighed.

Fighting tanks and relying on helicopters, even in the other world of Haiwen, there is actually no difference.

"It's just a pity that Baron Wolfgang, the dragon knight..." Mountbatten took another cigar from the lord, nodded his thanks, and confronted the boss.

"I don't know where the plane crashed." Xia Houyan swallowed his clouds, while thinking about the scene of the Wendur Khan disaster, "That's the corpse of a giant dragon..."

Missing the opportunity to revive the frost dragon Cristiano at the beginning obviously left a huge knot in the lord's heart.

Sean Mountbatten nodded seriously, and wanted to say more, but saw a young and beautiful elf girl rushing over with a long skirt.

"Leah?" Xia Houyan recognized the little girl at a glance - every time he went to the Emerald Palace in the past few days, he was led by the Queen's most trusted maid.

"Master Ai... Lord Igor!" Liya ran to the lord, patted her chest and panted, "Your Majesty Anya, please go to the Emerald Palace as soon as possible - there will be a fight over there!"
