Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 420 My Heart Will Not Die
On the other side of Burning Crystal Canyon, the Glorious Federation camp.

There was also the pungent smell of fireworks in the air.

Adolf Black-Eyed Warlord slowly put down the documents in his hand, then poked his head out from the wooden window of the command post, took a deep breath of the smell in the air, and then roared down with a loud voice unique to the orcs:
"Be careful! Don't catch fire!"

Next to the fire downstairs, there was a sonorous and forceful answer from the orc soldiers.

Today is the traditional festival "Blood Stone Burnt" of the orcs.

Even though they were on the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, the orc soldiers in the federal army still picked up hard big stones on this day according to the ancient festival custom, smeared the blood of the enemy on the stones, and then put these blood-stained stones on the Roasting on the campfire.

Regarding whether to hold these festivals in the army, there has actually been a lot of controversy among the top leaders of the Federal Army, but in the end, the coach Adolf Black Eye still made a decision, and the "Bloodstone Burnt" festival will continue as usual.

The significance of the ancient custom of "blood stone burnt" is to encourage the orc Haojilang to exterminate all enemies and make all enemies suffer endless pain like stones on fire;
In the opinion of Adolf Black-eyed Warlord, recreating these ancient festivals in the barracks is actually a very good way to boost morale and encourage soldiers.What's more, the cost of this kind of activity is quite low——

——In the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, everything is missing, except the blood of the empire's human beings.

The Black-Eyed Warlord leaned against the window sill and enjoyed the orc soldiers sitting around the bonfire, singing and burning bloodstones for a while. Then he withdrew from the window and looked at the command post again.

At the beginning of the war, the headquarters of the Glorious Federation on the northern front was still an inconspicuous felt tent;

However, with the prolonged stalemate between the orc army and the imperial humans, federal craftsmen finally built this small wooden building in the barracks on the east side of Burning Crystal Canyon for the Black-Eyed Warlord and other high-level military officials to work and rest.

Generally speaking, setting up such a conspicuous command post on the front line is actually quite a deadly brain-dead behavior. If you don't pay attention, you will be targeted by the opponent's long-range projectile weapons or air cavalry;
But at present, it seems that the human beings of the empire on the other side of the canyon have suffered from several wars, and there is no room for projecting firepower to the other side of the canyon—even if there is, the high-level shaman who is always on duty around the command post can use the battle song Shoot down all UFOs in the sky.

The office of Adolf Black-eyed Warlord is located on the second floor of the command post, and above that is a whole floor of totem circles used to guard against attacks.

This office with a superior location overlooking the entire barracks is very suitable for the prominent title of "Commander of the Glorious Federation Front" of Warlord Adolf the Black Eye.

In the usual day and afternoon, Adolf the Black-Eyed Warlord likes to hide in this office alone, drink some wine, and read some military books.

——Although the orcs are known for their barbarism, Adolf Black-eyed Overseer is actually not an illiterate idiot, but a scholar who has traveled to the mainland and received complete military training:
His favorite books to read on weekdays are "Gauther's War" written by the late General Erwin, the demon army god, and the unfinished autobiography "Swinging the Sword, Using the Holy Spirit" by the legendary "Light of the Empire" Count Olaf. The Name of God".

But this afternoon, the black-eyed warlord was not in the mood to study.

Because, he has several guests to receive.

Seeing the black-eyed warlord retracting his head from the window, a strong orc man sitting on the chair on the left side of his office grinned and said:
"Adolf, don't tell me, this 'blood stone burnt' is really interesting, many boys in the camp are very happy..."

The orc who spoke didn't take off his black iron plate armor even though he was in the command post, like a metal hill in the room.

Any orc who has a little understanding of the regular federal army will immediately realize that this hunk is the commander of the "Dragon Flame Legion" of the Glorious Federation, General Omar Setting Sun.

In the federal military system, about [-] soldiers form a division, with a "general" as the head; three to four divisions form a legion, with a "general" as the head—as for Adolf Blackeye, who can simultaneously The "Great Overseer" who controls several legions is generally only temporarily appointed during a war.

And the "Dragon Flame Legion" led by Omar Setting Sun, which has four divisions under its jurisdiction, is the main force that the Federation side relies on to prop up the front of the Burning Crystal Canyon.

Because of this, even in front of the Great Warlord, General Omar Setting Sun would still sit on his back with a big smile, and his smile was very presumptuous.

"We orcs have experienced quite a difficult time..." Adolf Black Eyes said with a smile, "...Many ancient customs formed in that era may seem a bit cumbersome in ordinary times, but they can be invigorating in war People's hearts."

"Adolf, you know better..." General Omar Setting Sun laughed, stretched out his big hand and scratched his bald head, "People like us don't know anything..."

"It's just that I have read a few more idle books." The black-eyed warlord smiled humbly, "It's really nothing in front of senior shamans like Master Kane."

Hearing the orc warlord praise him, the old shaman sitting on the other side of the room chuckled and nodded to the warlord in return.General Omar Setting Sun on the other side screamed strangely:
"Adolf, what you said - who can compare with Master Kane! If you want to become a wise man like the master, let us wait until the next life!"

If you are a new recruit who has just arrived at the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, you may wonder why the two orc generals respect this old shaman who is as thin as an old tree and wrapped in a Frostwolf fur coat.

However, in fact, as long as you take a closer look, you will find a shining lion totem badge on the chest of the old shaman named "Kane": this means that he is a "lion heart" with outstanding cultivation. Shaman" is one of the 16 members of the Federal Blood Temple.

But this is not the real reason why Master Kane is so highly regarded.

Only those high-ranking orcs who have mastered the core secrets of the Federation know that Master Kane's immortal feats are enough to be recorded in the annals of history:
Because two years ago, it was this master Kane who used his extraordinary war song skills to adapt the "Song of Nature's Bond" by the eighth apostle of the God of War "Lord of Beasts" Le Tuo in a genius way. The Ice Demon Mammoth group has been fully included in the battle sequence of the Glorious Federation!
The people of the God of War are all friends of nature and the wilderness, and the "Song of the Bonds of Nature" allows the shaman to establish a friendly relationship with all creatures in the wilderness—the Kodos, frost wolves, and wildebeests in the orc formation, basically It's all up to the shaman to "recruit" with this battle song.

However, the "Song of Nature's Bond" is extremely ineffective against high-level monsters with amazing resistance, and no orc in history has become the owner of a dragon and other high-level monsters by virtue of the "Song of Nature's Bond";
Being able to use the "Song of the Bonds of Nature" to recruit epic creatures like the Ice Demon Mammoth means that Master Kane's war song skills have reached an astonishing level.

There are even many shaman masters who are convinced that Master Kane will soon usher in an advanced stage and become the first "Dragon Flame Shaman" born in the orc race for hundreds of years!
Just think about it: without Master Kane, the Federation would not be able to obtain the Ice Demon Mammoth that overwhelms all living beings, and it would be even more impossible to conquer cities and behead countless people in this sixth war, and finally drive the Eastern Army of the Empire for hundreds of miles !

——In this sense, it would not be an exaggeration to attribute all the credit to the Federation side in this war to Master Kane.

Adolf Black-eyed Warlord and General Omar Setting Sun, who knew this well, naturally did not dare to neglect Master Kane.

What's more, Master Kane is the chief shaman of the entire orc army - even with this status, he is enough to win the respect of all orcs.

The three orcs were chatting and laughing here, and there was a sneer from the other side of the room.

Adolf the Black-eyed Overseer raised his head in embarrassment, and looked at the source of the voice:
A beautiful woman is sitting on a chair with her little feet upright, playing with her long golden curly hair - the orcs generally call her "Duchess Vanessa".

However, Duchess Vanessa is not an orc, but an elf.

During the Elven Restoration Movement more than 50 years ago, a group of descendants of high elves were supported by the Empire and established the "Stardust Elf Protectorate" in the Yongri Mountains, a branch of the Dust Mountain Range; In response, they supported another group of elves, and set up the so-called "Blood Shadow Elves Protectorate" on the other side of the mountain range.

And this Duchess Vanessa is the commander of the Protectorate of the Blood Shadow Elves stationed at the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon this time.

Unlike the "Stardust Elf Protectorate", the main body of the "Blood Shadow Elf Protectorate" is not the high elves known to the public, but the so-called "Blood Elves" - a group of elves who have practiced forbidden blood magic for a long time, not only His appearance has changed, and he was sentenced to exile by the Great Elf Empire. He has been wandering in the eastern part of the mainland for thousands of years, and he has only surrendered to the Glorious Federation in recent years.

Just by looking at Duchess Vanessa's pale golden hair and iconic red pupils, one can immediately distinguish her race from the green-haired, golden-eyed high elves of the Stardust Protectorate.

After being dispatched to the Burning Crystal Canyon, the Duchess Vanessa has been rampant, and she has nothing to do with the discipline of the Federation Army in her eyes, which has brought a lot of trouble to the management of the barracks.Adolf the Black-Eyed Warlord and the top officers of the orcs all have a headache for Duchess Vanessa, and they always feel that they don't care, and they don't care:
After all, the entire regiment of "Blood Elf Spellbreakers" led by the Duchess Vanessa is the federal army's biggest reliance against the imperial magicians—at present, at least until the end of the war, it is absolutely impossible There will be orcs who dare to offend this blood elf noblewoman with over-the-top eyes.

"I said, the Black-Eyed Warlord..." Duchess Vanessa inspected her well-manicured long nails while boredly saying, "You called us all here to discuss the ancient customs of you orcs, right? ?”

Adolf Black-eyed Overseer sighed, and said:

"Yeah, I'm looking for the three of you to come here for business. You see, this is the invitation I just got, sent by the humans of the empire with feather arrows."

An invitation from humans?The three top federal army officers were a little dazed.Master Kane took a document from the Black-Eyed Warlord, glanced briefly at it, and handed it to Duchess Vanessa. After the Duchess finished reading it, she threw it to Omar Setting Sun.

"Military exercise?" Duchess Vanessa frowned her slender and elegant eyebrows, and murmured, "You still invite us to send observers? What the hell are the imperial humans doing?"

"Hey, Adolf, these humans want to scare us!" Omar Setting Sun read the invitation card written by Grand Duke Rosario, and said with a belly laugh, "They are showing their muscles to us!"

Adolf Black Eye nodded and said with a smile:
"Yeah, the Imperials definitely want to use this military exercise to prove to us that they didn't lose so badly in the past year... It's ridiculous, as if a military exercise can kill all the people in the east of the Burning Crystal Canyon. It’s like writing off the hundreds of miles of land lost.”

"The more you try to promote what you have, the more you lack something!" Although Omar Setting Sun is a big bastard, he has the temperament of a grassroots philosopher, "Adolf, let me tell you, the people of the empire are feeling guilty right now. Come on! They are really afraid that we will just fight through the Burning Crystal Canyon, so they insist on holding a military exercise to make a big splash!"

Adolf Heiyan smiled slightly: "It makes sense."

"I can only hate this bullshit ceasefire agreement..." Omar Setting Sun said bitterly, "Adolf, I assure you, now let the 'Dragon Flame Legion' beat the canyon, I will definitely be able to take Grim Rosari O's head on the neck!"

The black-eyed warlord shook his head and said:

"The ceasefire agreement is the result of the joint consent of the chief and the commander. We have no right to interfere. As for whether to continue to attack the civil fort across the canyon after the ceasefire agreement is over, that also requires the order from above..."

"I know..." Omar Setting Sun smacked his lips, "...I just hope that the Great Chief and the Great Commander will be more sensible. After the past year, the Imperial Army is already on the verge of collapse..."

"We'll talk about these things later." Adolf the Black-eyed Warlord shook his head and brought back the topic, "Today I'm looking for the three of you, and I want to hear your opinions—whether we want a 'military exercise' for the humans of the Empire?" Send observers?"

Omar Setting Sun was the first to raise his hand and said:

"I think we should send someone to have a look, and it won't lose a piece of meat!",

Duchess Vanessa snorted coldly, raised her eyebrows and said:
"The imperial people are willing to act, so I don't mind accompanying them to perform the whole set."

Master Kane laughed and said: "I don't understand these military things, you can decide for yourself, Grand Overseer..."

After hearing the opinions of the three, Adolf the Black-eyed Overseer nodded in satisfaction:

"The three of you basically agree with me, so it's finally decided: we will send a few observers at that time to see what tricks humans are playing! Besides our orc observers, Master Vanessa, do you want your elves to go?"

"Of course I want to go. The Burning Crystal Canyon is very boring. It would be great to send a few people to the opposite side to relax." Duchess Vanessa shrugged her shoulders, "And I really want to know, that Elliott Who the hell is Igor..."

Upon hearing this name, the three orcs all had a serious look on their faces.

Perhaps, compared to the imperial people, the name "Eliot Igor" is even more well-known among the federal orcs—after all, no orc can forget the shame of the blood temple being occupied by foreign races, Not a single orc soldier didn't know where the three-month ceasefire came from.

As for the annihilation of the two elite divisions "Hammer of Purgatory" and "Pride of War God" with a small frontier territory, it is even more like a mythical record. And pay tribute to the heroes who have made such illustrious military exploits.

And "Elliott Igor led the army to the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon" is not a secret to several senior federal army officers;
Early yesterday morning, the goshawk flag inlaid with gold, which symbolizes the head of the Igor family, was hung high on the top of the Tumu castle, floating in the wind like an answer, and it is invincible.

In the hearts of the federal people on the northern front, although the young Duke of Shuangfengling is quite famous, he has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery: True or false, that's a good thing.

Thinking of the name "Eliot Igor", several senior leaders of the Federal Army were a little lost in thought. In the end, it was Adolf Black-eyed Overseer who clapped his hands and pulled the thoughts of the other three back:

"Everyone, please remember that no matter how outstanding Frost Maple Ridge's military exploits are, they are just a border territory with limited strength! The defeats of 'Hammer of Purgatory' and 'Pride of the God of War' are true, but they lacked support, It is also true to fight alone. On the main battlefield of this continent, a small army of two to 3000 people, no matter how brave and skillful it is, cannot decide the outcome of the battle. Compared with Shuangfengling, the enemy we really need to pay attention to is Rosa Leo's Eastern Army and Grant's Central Army."

"The Great Overseer is right." Master Kane nodded, "Everyone, don't be intimidated by the name of Shuangfengling—according to the report of the air cavalry, there are only more than 2000 people who came this time."

Hearing this, Omar Setting Sun, who was still in a daze just now, came back to his senses and nodded embarrassingly:

Indeed, on the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon, where tens of thousands of troops are often fighting, it is really difficult for the 2000 troops of Shuangfengling to cause any disturbances - this is not the land of broken souls and bloodthorn city. On this frontal battlefield, there is no Room for any opportunism!
Only Duchess Vanessa on the side didn't think about the battle situation, but licked her lips greedily:

"I heard that Elliot Igor is good-looking... When we take down the civil fort, I will capture the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge and take him to Blood Shadow City as a male favourite!"

"When we have laid down the civil fortress, you can choose from all the men in the empire, my dear Duchess Vanessa." The black-eyed warlord laughed.
