Mage Joan

Most buildings in the downtown area of ​​Prince Port are not as strong as the parliament building.

In particular, the residential buildings are mostly wooden buildings. Fires often break out at the turn of spring and summer. After the airstrikes, the communities are turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the flames and thick smoke can vaguely run away. The cry of women and children resounded across the night sky.

Charles Gates has been in the army for more than 30 years and he is used to seeing the **** scenes. However, the streetscape of Prince Port after the air raid still makes him feel terrible and feel a chill in his heart.

From dusk to dawn, General Gates personally led a team to fight the fire in the worst-hit urban area, and also summoned the army mage group to ask them to cast a spell to fight the fire.

The high-level mage unfolded the scroll, cast spells to control the weather, creating a heavy rain out of thin air, and it continued until dawn, finally controlling the spread of the fire.

Despite such a heavy blow, General Gates still stubbornly held the Port of Princes.

Forced by the situation, General Gates reluctantly placed his hope of reversing the plight on his old enemy.

The town of House near Prince Port is also stationed with a full-armed cavalry division led by General Isaac Hooker with the best equipment in the Continental Army.

If General Hook led the cavalry division to assault the Winthrop Corps from the flanks, and the Gates Corps took advantage of the momentum to counterattack, and the two troops attacked inside and outside, it might have been a chance to defeat the enemy.

Gates knew in his heart that Hook wished to die in Prince Port. If he directly gave instructions to the cavalry division in the name of the commander-in-chief of the southern theater, Hook was likely to ignore it.

For this reason, he had to write a letter to the Continental Congress, which had moved to the Port of Leiden, requesting Sir William Nichols, the chairman of the Continental Congress, to directly order the Isaac Hooker Cavalry Division in the name of the head of government. Rush to help Prince Port, cooperate with the garrison in the city, and launch a double-sided attack on the Earl of Winthrop's position.

Charles Gates has always used the greatest malice to conjecture Isaac Hook’s mind. However, as he thinks of it, no matter how arrogant and domineering Hook is, he dare not openly defy the order of the Continental Congress. The worst result is to delay the time and avenge his personal vengeance. , He did not help the friendly forces stationed in Prince Port, but he never expected that Hook would make a more frenzied decision.

The Continental Congress issued an order in accordance with General Gates's will, but did not receive a reply from General Hooker for a long time. Under repeated urging, the Hooker Corps finally appeared outside Prince Port on May 9th.

General Gates was very excited when he first received the news. He quickly boarded the balcony of the command building and picked up the binoculars to look at the reinforcements that finally arrived. However, what was in sight was the Fierce Banner fluttering in the wind.

That's right, the cavalry division led by General Hook actually flew the banner of the Feizhen Kingdom and joined the enemy camp under the besieged city!

The telescope slid down from the cold hands and witnessed the Hook Corps falling to the enemy. The last hope of General Gates was also shattered.

Why did General Hook come to lead his troops to the enemy?

Judging from the information collected by Qiao Ann through various channels, it is obvious that Charles Gates can't shirk the blame.

If it were not for Gates' stubbornness, he would suppress Hooke and his party members with great fanfare as soon as he arrived in Princeport, and made no secret of his intention to fight for power. This intensified the contradiction with Hooke and caused the two parties to finally break, and perhaps the situation would not deteriorate to this point. So far.

However, this matter can not be entirely blamed on Gates.

Joan has not dealt with Isaac Hook directly, but he knew Hook was the spokesperson of the "Conquest of the Order" in Alfheim's military many years ago.

Hooker’s nephew, Baldwin, conducted an evil breeding experiment on the horse farm in Housetown and kidnapped the centaur from the Ironshoe Tribe as a test subject. For this, he angered the centaur family and raided Housetown, destroying Baldwin’s horse farm and underground. laboratory.

At that time, Joanne was also in House Town, and it happened that he would be involved in this turmoil. Afterwards, he learned that General Hook was behind Baldwin's various evil deeds. Of course, he would not have a good impression of him.

Two years ago, Joan returned to Leiden, and learned from Conti that the Pope of the "Conquest of the Order" "Wood Destroyer" Dolan Teresis was ambitious and gathered many believers and allies from the evil camp. Form two armies, trying to launch an offensive from both the north and the south at the same time to conquer the indigenous peoples of all ethnic groups in the great jungle of Yalf.

Due to the intervention of Qiao An and others, the offensives launched by the "Conquest of the Order" against the Fairy Spring, Deep Forest Valley and Argangjing Valley all ended in disastrous defeat, and they came back in despair.

However, on the north bank of the Yifen River, the combat plan of the "Conquest of the Order" is progressing smoothly and successfully conquered dozens of local indigenous tribes, large and small. Among them, the most fierce resistance was the Centaur tribe of the "Ironhoof Tribe", but they paid a lot. After his sacrifice, the defeat was ultimately not saved. The centaur's home was burned to ruins. Under the leadership of Prince Zogo, the survivors fled to the depths of the southern jungle.

The number one thug in the "Conquest of the Order" in the north was Isaac Hook and his cavalry division.

General Hook mobilized troops and horses without authorization from the government to openly serve the cult. This is clearly a faction of a warlord who holds the mountain as the king and respects the soldiers!

How can such an unscrupulous cultist and careerist truly agree with the idea that "everyone is born free and equal" advocated by the Declaration of Independence, and how can he devote himself to this war of independence for colonial liberation regardless of his personal gains and losses?

In Qiao'an's view, the conflict between Gates and Hooker was just a fuse, which accelerated Hooker’s fall. On the contrary, even if there is no such person as Gates, or Gates has always used gentle means to win over Hooker from the beginning. As usual, Isaac Hook, who is good at calculating the gains and losses of personal gains and being accustomed to seeing the wind, cannot change the status quo that the enemy is strong and we are weak. In the end, it is very likely that Isaac Hook will still embark on the old path of surrendering to the enemy and treason.

Through the incident of General Hook's surrender to the enemy, Qiao An vaguely sensed an ominous omen.

In addition to the role of "general", Isaac Hook was also a high-level conqueror of the Order, and was favored by Pope Teresis.

General Hook dared to disobey the orders of the Continental Congress and lead his troops to treason against the enemy, but he did not dare to disobey the will of Pope Teresis.

The reason is very simple. The Continental Congress has nothing to do with him as a traitor. However, offending the "wood destroyer" who has the power of a demigod in the legend will really cause him to be killed.

Conversely speaking, Isaac Hook must first consult the Pope before making the major decision to surrender to the enemy. From the result, it is not difficult to conclude that the senior leaders of the Conquering Order at least acquiesced in Hook’s refuge in Fiji. Real people.
