Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 47 Remaining life after catastrophe
Fortunately for Master Laurie, the Lord is still safe.

At this moment, this black-haired, handsome young aristocrat was kneeling in the middle of the avenue with his head bowed.

Lying beside him was a mercenary knight with blood all over his face, a broken neck, and a long dead in Jiuquan.

Judging from the saber in the hand of the mercenary knight's corpse, he should have wanted to attack the lord while he was in the chaos - after all, Xia Houyan, who looked like an upper-class noble in brocade clothes, was too conspicuous in the chaos.
However, the zombie Dave, who was crouching on the ground like a hound, with a mouth full of blood, and a blood-stained cast iron crowbar, clearly explained the cause of this unfortunate mercenary's death.

Master Laurie, Alice and Clement did not pay much attention to the mercenary corpses on the ground;

At a glance, they saw the petite body held in the arms of the lord.

It was a young girl in a maid outfit with long flaxen hair.

In the center of Anjie Randall's neck, a large hole was pierced by the sharp tip of the lance, and blood was still flowing from the wound, dripping all over the Lord's robe.

But her expression was extremely peaceful. The girl lying in the arms of the lord seemed to be dreaming something in her sleep.

At the hand of the maid was a piece of "Purple Leaf Dragon Ginger" that rolled to the ground - this huge rhizome had been cut off a few pieces, revealing a pale pink fleshy section.

When the convoy was attacked, An Jie was preparing to cut ginger slices to make tea for the lord.

But that violent and arrogant shot completely took the life of this young girl.

"Lord Elliot?" Master Laurie opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Alice Comstock said softly.

Xia Houyan raised his head from An Jie, his eyes blood red.

As far as his vision could reach, he could only see a patch of red.

blood red.Red of life.Red of anger, death and destruction.

"Who are they?" Lord Lord stared at the corpse of the cavalry on the ground and asked in a hiss.

"I don't know..." Master Laurie pursed his lips and said, "...Maybe it's a robber blocking the road..."

"A robber with a lance and saber, a standard light armor, and an organized charge?" Xia Houyan showed a cruel smile, "Who are the opponents of this group of 'robbers'? Demon clan?"

Master Laurie stopped talking.

Or the experienced thorn knight Clement said solemnly:

"It should be mercenaries. Their fighting stance doesn't look like a uniformly trained Imperial regular army, but they clearly belong to the same military group - so, probably some mercenary group in the southern wasteland."

"Mercenary..." Xia Houyan chewed on the word, his eyes became colder, "So, someone always 'hired' them, right?"

Clement nodded silently.

Master Laurie and Alice looked at each other.

This sudden attack on the avenue was too sudden, too strange, and too well-timed!This group of mercenaries ambushing on the side of the road must have been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the Igor family convoy!
——If there is no secret plan behind this incident, even Zombie Dave will not believe it!
In fact, the names of several political enemies of the Igor family had already appeared in the minds of Master Laurie and Alice.

Xia Houyan didn't seem to think too much, just gently put Anjie Randall's body back on the ground, then rubbed the "phantom wrist wheel" on his hand, turned his head to look at Zombie Dave, and said softly:

"Eat something, don't get hungry."

Zombie Dave happily threw himself at the mercenary corpse on the ground, and began to chew on the flesh of the corpse like an Easter turkey.

The people around were chilling.

"Collect all the corpses." Xia Houyan ordered, his tone calm.

The surviving masses who knew that Lord Lord was going to use the resurrection technique quickly ran to the scattered corpses.

Soon, the dead of the Igor family in this battle were gathered to the bloody land in front of the lord.

And the corpses of the mercenaries were piled aside with hatred by the people.

Mayor Joel, whose arm was wounded by a saber slash, but was lucky enough to escape, reported the casualties to the lord while wrapping himself in a bandage:
"My lord, there are a total of 170 four corpses here..."

Xia Houyan took a deep breath.

In fact, the raid didn't last long.

The mercenary knight, who was head-on attack by Clement and Alice, quickly fell into a state of disintegration with no intention of fighting.

But even so, their initial collective charge, and the subsequent saber battle, still took away the fresh lives of nearly [-] Igor citizens - most of them were killed by lances and sabres, but A considerable number of them were crushed to death by dumped carriages or trampled by horses' hooves.

"The people of the Igor family." Standing in front of the morgue, Xia Houyan said slowly, not too loudly, but enough for everyone to hear, "Actually, I have always been hesitant."

He looked around at the faces covered in smoke and blood, and the fear in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and licked his dry lips.

"There is a reason why necromancy is classified as taboo - even the resurrection technique I used, regardless of the wishes of the deceased, rudely turned them into living dead with no body temperature and heartbeat, and tampered with their way of life privately. Acts." The Lord said word by word, "In the infected area, in order to obtain the necessary combat power, I privately decided to resurrect several members of the guard team, and I am still sorry for their physical condition."

Alice on the side looked soft.

"I have also decided that I will no longer use necromantic magic after leaving the infected area. From now on, I will respect life's birth, old age, sickness and death, and respect the will of fate!" Xia Houyan gritted his teeth, and reached out his hand to ruthlessly pointed at the pile of mercenary corpses not far away. , "However, some people don't respect the lives of my people, and some people don't respect their fate! Some people choose to hire such a group of bloody mercenary robbers, and let the unprovoked disaster befall my people! "

In the eyes of everyone, there is also a burning anger.

The battles, killings, and deaths just now have left an indelible mark on the hearts of these ordinary people.

"So..." Under everyone's astonished gaze, their lord fell to his knees, bowed his head and bowed deeply to the corpses in front of him, "I, the lord of the Igor family, the former lord of Eagle's Rest Castle, The eternal guardian of Igor's territory, Elliot Igor, will bring you back to this world with apologies! As a price, I promise to smash the culprit who created this disaster into thousands of pieces. You bring revenge and justice! At the same price, I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to find a way to restore you to normal!"

In the silence, Xia Houyan slowly stood up straight, and then recited the "Resurrection Technique" incantation without hesitation.

In the obscure tones of the ancient Aeolian runes, the gigantic shadow of Hades once again appeared in the air.

However, this time, the phantom seemed to stay for an extraordinarily long time.

With deep eyes with oriental characteristics, King Yama Xuying slowly glanced at a piece of corpses on the ground; although his gloomy face behind the beads was expressionless, he seemed to have an indescribable compassion.

The magic spell came to an abrupt end, and the phantom of the gods shattered into dust.

One body after another, the wounds healed quickly, and then sat up from the ground.

Master Laurie is not surprised to realize that the Lord Lord is using a super large-scale group resurrection technique...

However, not all the victims were resurrected.

Among the 170 four people, some of them were too seriously handicapped, and some fell to the ground forever because their severed limbs could not be found, and their souls completely returned to the netherworld.

Victims who were fortunate enough to be resurrected, including Anjie Randall, were hugged by their surviving relatives and friends and wept bitterly after a brief period of confusion.

Xia Houyan leaned against the tent next to him, silently watching the scene in front of him.

"Lord Elliot!" Clement suddenly said, "There seems to be someone who is still alive!"

Xiahou Yan followed the death knight's instructions and saw that there was a "corpse" of a mercenary knight that suddenly began to slowly wriggle.

Judging from this mercenary's extraordinarily delicate costume, he seems to be the leader of this group of people!
Yes, the deputy head of the "Wind of Desolation" mercenary group, Taibiri, was just knocked unconscious by Clement's rune sword, but he wasn't dead yet!

"That's great, I just want to ask him a question." The lord said expressionlessly, "Today, we will not be in a hurry, we will camp in a sheltered place nearby, and be careful not to reveal the trail - you remember to put this The bastard threw it into my tent, and when I interrogated him, no one was allowed to approach!"

Mayor Joel and Clement took orders, and Xia Houyan turned to Master Laurie:

"Master, I know you must be good at this, so can you help me prepare some props for interrogating prisoners?"

"Would you like a whip, iron drill, steel pipe, knife, hook, or chili water?" Master Laurie asked quickly.

"I want all of them." Lord Lord did not hesitate.
