Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 413

Led by Elf Palace Maiden Leah, Xia Houyan hurried to the Emerald Palace with Master Laurie and Spirit Song Master.

The lineup of Shuangfengling is actually very interesting:

Among the Huangyuan soldiers who are currently following the lord's "Frost Maple Ridge Labor Art Troupe" to the north, the one with the highest status in name is the Lily Knight appointed by the Empire, the knight leader of the Igor family, Aaron Cousins, and the Frost Maple Ridge staff officer. The Minister, Sean Mountbatten, is also quite authoritative in the territory;

However, a lily knight in the area still cannot catch the eyes of the noble elves. If the knight commander Cousins ​​follows the lord to meet the queen, it is actually a very cheap behavior.

——As for Sean Mountbatten, who doesn't even have an imperial title... He is even more unworthy of appearing in the sight of a group of elf nobles.

In fact, not long ago, Xia Houyan received a letter from the Imperial Etiquette Department, to the effect that he wanted to confer noble titles on important members of the Igor family to honor Shuangfengling’s great military exploits—but so far, the royal family The reward has not yet been completed, and the people of Shuangfengling are still a group of bare butts and mud legs, who are not qualified to participate in the social meeting of the elves and nobles.

It's strange to say, but it's still a dilapidated household with rich ancestors like the elves, there are always a lot of red tape and poor attention.

Therefore, in a hurry, Xia Houyan could only bring the two magic masters around him to support his facade.

Unlike the aristocratic system that relies on the rank of the title to walk the rivers and lakes, the magician is a profession that speaks entirely on strength——

——The two junior magisters, although they are not super masters, they are not ashamed to stand up in Eternal Sun City.

In order to meet Her Majesty, Master Laurie combed his curvy and tangled beard for the first time in ten thousand years, and put on a set of mage robes that didn't have a strong smell. He looked like a serious senior mage;
As for the deputy head of the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group", Master Spirit Song, who was originally a native of Yongsun City, and was even a hard-working man who was assigned by Her Majesty the Queen to Shuangfengling to perform hard labor.

Being able to participate in the high-class communication of the elves, Master Laurie followed behind the lord's ass so happily that his pants almost fell off, and a pair of old thief eyes sized up the elf maids in the palace - if the master's eyes were blades, then These elf maids may have already turned into sashimi.

However, Calvino, the master of spiritual songs, had the same gloomy and gloomy expression as the previous few days.

The reason why Master Ling Song is in a bad mood these days is actually very simple. It can be summed up in a classic ancient poem:

If you are not old, you must be heartbroken.

As a junior magister, Calvino, Master of Spiritual Songs, can be said to be the magic supreme overlooking all living beings in the wasteland of the land of broken souls. He even leads the team of more than 30 mages in the "Northern Blizzard Mage Group" in Shuangfengling, calling the wind and the rain So happy!

Usually, every time he writes a chapter of "Southward Journey", a large group of fans who admire his magical cultivation will frantically reward and vote to publish this chapter, saying that the master of spiritual songs has become the magic idol of Phoenix TV.

However, if you throw her into Yongri City, where sorcerers gather... the result is like throwing ten dollars into a krypton gold draw card mobile game:

The shadows are gone.

God is sorry, even in the modern Haven where the great empire has been shattered, the elves are all the continental races that wear the crown of "King of Magic" and have the strongest affinity for the elements!

The population density of magicians of the elves is already high. If you drive a dump truck back and forth on the streets of Yongri City, you can kill three junior magicians along the way, and there is another one with tenacious vitality hanging behind. Intermediate magister!

Take the "Morning Star Mage Group" led by Master Alighieri as an example. This magical armed force on the mainland is second only to the "Source of Arcane Magic" battle mage group under the Academy City Mage Council. Its members include nearly Three hundred elf magicians above the intermediate level, and countless magicians sitting among them!

To be honest, the spiritual master who was sent by the queen to help the poor in Shuangfengling, as well as his twenty elf magician subordinates, and most of the "supporting mages" who were sent to other territories by the Stardust Protectorate They are all cheap goods that were eliminated by the "Morning Star Mage Group"—this also explains why Calvino Master Spirit Song rushed to the territory in a little embarrassment. After careful consideration, among them Quite a bit like the frontier and Fengxue Fengxue Terrace of Lingjiao.

The master of spiritual songs who is revered in Shuangfengling can only be looked down upon in his hometown of Yongri City——

The soul song master who revisited his hometown would naturally feel sad because of the huge gap between the two places.

It’s like a Beijing-Piao worker who bought a two-bedroom apartment in Tiantongyuan with a loan from a worker. Before he had time to rejoice, he went to the Asian Games Village to see the life of the bourgeoisie. Only those who have experienced it can taste the bitterness and anger.

As for Master Laurie, who basically lives in Langfang, he is happy enough to be able to go to Beijing to play, but there is no psychological pressure on him.

Therefore, the two magic pillars of Shuangfeng Ridge followed behind the lord in such a happy and depressed way, all the way into the meeting hall of the Emerald Palace.

The situation in the hall was very similar to when the Xiahou official came here for the first time, it was noisy and noisy, just like a vegetable market with overly ornate decoration.

However, the situation at the time was that General Virgil and Master Alighieri were fighting against each other, and refused to follow orders to support the front line by singing double reeds;

Today's situation is a one-man show.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Anya!" As soon as he entered the room, General Virgil's thunderous roar reached Xia Houyan's ears, "What are you waiting for?! That's it! That's it!"

Around General Virgil, there were a lot of elves and nobles shadowy, and they seemed to be trying to comfort the commander of the "Storm Brigade", but it seemed to have little effect:

Xia Houyan saw with satisfaction that at this time General Virgil was like a wounded beast, almost hovering on the brink of madness—his blue robe and silver armor, which was originally neat and bright, were in a mess due to negligence. On the face with trembling muscles, the original handsomeness and indifference were gone forever, only the exhaustion from a sleepless night, and uncontrollable despair and rage remained.

On the Emerald Throne, Queen Anya spoke softly and helplessly:

"General Virgil...don't do this..."

"Don't do this?! How could I not be like this?!" General Virgil roared in a low voice, "Anya! Think about it! That's Wendy! Your sister Wendy! She—she—"

Queen Anya gritted her teeth, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment.She raised her head inadvertently, and suddenly saw the senior official Xiahou walking towards her, and she shouted loudly as if she had received a savior:

"E-Eliott! You! Come here!"

The romantic anecdote between Her Majesty the Queen and the young Duke of Frost Maple Ridge has spread throughout Eversun City these days.The elves and nobles present hastily made way for the high official Xia Hou, and looked at him and Queen Anya on the throne with eyes that you understand me and everyone understands.

And General Virgil, who was in a powerless rage, panted heavily on the spot as if he hadn't noticed the Duke of Shuangfengling's arrival.

Hearing Queen Anya's call, Xia Houyan led Master Laurie and Spiritual Song Master Shi Shiran through the crowd and came to the Queen——At this moment, he found that Commander Kenny Clever was also present, so he nodded and followed The other party said hello.

"Sacred God..." Xia Houyan turned his head to look around, "Your Majesty Anya, what's going on with this mess? General Virgil, are you... are you okay?"

It wasn't until then that General Virgil noticed the existence of Lord Frostmaple Ridge.

The elf general almost roared:
"It's an orc...God damn federal orc...Damn it...my Wendy..."

Undoubtedly, these words can only make anyone confused.Xia Houyan looked at Kenny Clever ignorantly. The latter sighed and explained for General Virgil:
"Master Igor, you should have heard about the turmoil in the city last night, right?"

"I was sleeping at the time... I only heard about it when I returned to the family camp in the morning. It seems that there were orc raiders attacking Yongsun City at night?" Xia Houyan scratched his head and replied.

As soon as this remark was made, Queen Anya, who was sitting on the throne, blushed quietly before the others did anything. It was natural that there was no need to say more about who Elliot Igor was sleeping with last night.

Kenny Clever nodded and said:
"Yes, Lord Igor, last night a group of orc raiders suddenly attacked and violently attacked the ancient war tree on the east wall of Yongsun City. Fortunately, the defenders were strong enough to repel their attack. But the problem is, just While the battle was taking place in the east of the city, several orc assassins sneaked into General Virgil's house..."

"Ah?!" Xia Houyan looked at General Virgil in shock.

"They..." General Virgil took a deep breath and regained his sanity slightly, "They took my Wendy away...God damn it..."

The elf commander suddenly looked up at Queen Anya, and said sharply:
"Your Majesty! Give me 4000 people, no, 3000 people are enough! Give me [-] brothers from the 'Fengyun Brigade', and I will definitely be able to snatch Wendy back from those green-skinned bastards!"

Queen Anya was still struggling to answer, and Master Alighieri on the side had already tried to persuade:
"Virgil, can you calm down? Now you are obviously not in a normal state, you..."

"Alighieri! Shut up!" General Virgil yelled at his old friend, "That's Wendy! Before you came to my house, who cooked for you?! How dare you persuade me now? I 'calm down'?!"

Master Alighieri was a little speechless, and he frowned and sighed.

"General Virgil, we can all understand your feelings..." Queen Anya carefully chose her words and persuaded in a low voice, "We are also very worried about the safety of Sister Wendy, but let you take the 'Fengyun Brigade' Going to the orc camp in Burning Crystal Canyon to rescue Sister Wendy is really too..."

Kenny Clever on the side also nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, respected General Virgil, this will only disrupt the empire's strategic deployment on the front line..."

"Now you're telling me this again, damned human?!" General Virgil pointed at Kenny Clever and scolded sharply, "Why, a few days ago you tried every means to get me to lead troops to Burning Crystal Canyon , Why, are you unhappy now?!"

"What the Eastern Front needs is your support force, not for you to lead your troops across the canyon to die..." Kenny Clever patiently explained, "General Virgil, please—"

"Stop, everyone, stop!" General Virgil wanted to curse again, but Xia Houyan had already stepped forward, interrupting the gunpowder-smelling quarrel.

It was still very useful for a Duke of the Empire to speak, everyone looked over, and even General Virgil was only panting indignantly, but did not speak rudely.

"Let me take a look at the current situation first! Let me take a look!" Seeing everyone quiet down, Xia Houyan counted on his fingers, "The current situation is that last night, a group of orc raiders attacked the ancient tree of war. He returned without success, but some orc assassins took General Virgil's... er...wife?—and snatched away General Virgil's wife. Now, General Virgil's request is to bring Bing went to the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon to rescue his wife, but everyone's opinions on this matter are not unified—is it so?"

"Master Igor, you summed it up very well." Kenny Clever bowed his head respectfully.

"In that case, then I'm going to come out and say something fair!" Xia Houyan thought for a while and raised his arms.

"I would like to hear more about it." Kenny Clever nodded, and Queen Anya also cast a curious look at Mr. Xiahou.

"The first thing to make sure is that poor General Virgil, his appeal is completely justified!" Xia Houyan's words made Master Alighieri and other conservative elves breathless, "The world's great hatred , nothing more than killing his father and taking his wife. The shameless federal orcs took away General Virgil's beloved wife. I think it is reasonable for General Virgil to react any way! Think about it differently, if it is His Majesty Anya who was taken away I will also lead my troops to the rescue regardless of anything!"

Queen Anya blushed and spat lightly. The elves and nobles who were watching looked at this pair of dogs and men with even more ambiguous eyes.

But no one expected that the Duke of Shuangfengling's next words would suddenly change:
"However, it is one thing to rescue Miss Wendy, and another to do so! General Virgil, if you adopt the wrong method because you are eager to save people, it will not only endanger the overall situation of the war, but may also anger the enemy Let these green-skinned bastards do even more unbearable and irreparable cruelty to Miss Wendy!"

These words are still very well-founded, and General Virgil also remained silent, but his breathing became more and more heavy.

"First of all, it must be made clear that letting General Virgil lead troops to forcefully rescue Miss Wendy is a bad idea!" Xia Houyan pondered for a moment, before coming to a conclusion, "First of all, forcibly attacking the orcs may threaten Wendy as a captive. Miss’s safety; secondly, the Empire and the Federation are currently in a ceasefire, if the Stardust Protectorate, a vassal state of the Empire, takes the initiative to attack the orcs, it may be regarded as a signal that the Empire will tear up the treaty and break the ceasefire—— On the other hand, the Federation can attribute the crime of kidnapping Miss Wendy to the private behavior of the orc raiders who lost their organization!"

Kenny Clever nodded and said:

"You are right. The current empire must not become a breach of the contract that breaks the ceasefire and starts the war first—at least not within the three months when the ceasefire treaty is still in effect."

"Next, I ask everyone to think about why the federal orcs risked the world's displeasure and made great efforts to capture Miss Wendy, an unarmed, harmless elf woman?" Xia Houyan asked a key question, "I I think there is only one truth—because Ms. Wendy is the wife of Mr. Virgil, the commander of the Wind and Cloud Brigade! Before, the news that Grand Duke Rosario requested the support of the Wind and Cloud Brigade, the federal orcs could not have been unaware. They did so, obviously It was to restrain General Virgil, the commander of the Wind and Cloud Brigade—they wanted to kidnap Miss Wendy as a hostage because they were afraid that General Virgil would join the battle!"

General Virgil clenched his fists with a gloomy expression, his teeth clenched.

Xia Houyan thought hard for half a minute, then said slowly:

"I don't think this matter has to be resolved by force. This is not good for Miss Wendy's personal safety."

"So, shouldn't we let General Virgil lead troops to the Burning Crystal Canyon to rescue Sister Wendy?" Queen Anya asked.

"No!" Xia Houyan said decisively, "What the federal orcs are afraid of is the 'Fengyun Brigade' supporting the front line. If we really throw the mouse at the mouse and do nothing, it will be in line with the wishes of the orcs! —— I think, General Virgil We must take the 'Fengyun Brigade' to the front line as soon as possible, but not for armed rescue, but for pressure!"

"Press?" Master Alighieri asked curiously.

"Yes, pressure!" Xia Houyan nodded firmly, "The biggest mistake of the federal orcs in kidnapping Miss Wendy is that kidnapping such an unarmed civilian and female family member is a despicable act that completely violates morality and the ceasefire agreement. The vast majority of federal orc soldiers, although barbaric, also value honor. They must look down on such dirty acts as assassination and kidnapping! Therefore, we need to condemn the shameful behavior of the Federation on the moral high ground through serious diplomatic protests , forcing them to return Miss Wendy!"

Diplomatic protest... Master Alighieri squeezed his chin thoughtfully.

"All diplomatic actions require hard power behind it!" Xia Houyan said in a deep voice, "Since the orcs dare to attack civilians, we must also show our tough attitude. Blindly being soft will only make the other party gain an inch! General Virgil , I think you should first bring the 'Wind and Cloud Brigade' to the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon, together with my Frost Maple Ridge troops, to jointly demonstrate the empire's firm attitude towards this matter, and at the same time serve as a military deterrent to the federal orcs! In this way , if the negotiation fails, we can also consider armed rescue nearby!"

"Can you make sure this works?" General Virgil panted, "Can you make sure my Wendy is safe?"

"I think the chances of success are very high. Moreover, I am the signer of the ceasefire agreement. If I personally participate in the diplomatic negotiations, the orcs, who are the defaulters, will definitely restrain themselves a lot." Xia Houyan nodded and said, "Back for a while." Wan Bu said, if something really happens to Miss Wendy, I assure you, I will let all the orcs in Burning Crystal Canyon be buried with her! What I hate most in my life is the bastard who insults wives and daughters!"

"Let all the orcs in the Burning Crystal Canyon be buried with them" - this is an overly exaggerated promise, but the elves present have no reason to feel that the young nobles in front of them can really do this.

Xia Houyan stared fixedly at General Virgil, and stretched out a hand to him.

General Virgil was silent for a moment, then resolutely stretched out his hand and hit his palm hard.

Master Alighieri, who knew that the situation was irreversible, sighed faintly.
