The Original Vampire

"Why are you targeting a small mercenary like this?"

After Thrall left, Vera asked in a narrow tone.

Obviously, Vera also saw Colin's hostility towards Thrall, but she thought it was the two of them who were arguing for herself.

Thinking of this, her little face covered by the black veil was a little blushing, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit of joy in her heart.

A woman always likes to see men fighting for herself, even if she doesn't like any of them.

"A person who dares to kill even his own father does not deserve my respect." Colin said righteously, exposing Thrall's old story without hesitation.

"What?" Vera was surprised.

"Indeed, Thrall is a poisonous snake, so you need to be careful." Bliss said on the side, the knight obviously looked down on this dutiful son who murdered his father.

"I see." Vera nodded and moved this little mercenary, who was still a little clever, to the blacklist.

"Okay, let's get back to business."

Vera began to introduce to Colin the specific situation that the sentry inquired.

At this time, it can be determined that there are two wolf cavalry troops that have caught up.

However, the opponent was the most elite wolf cavalry in the regular army of trolls, and the other party, except for the cavalry team with less than 100 people, was still elite, and the rest were all rout soldiers who escaped from the Jinghu camp.

Moreover, these fallen soldiers were all mercenaries and civilians who were temporarily pulled over by the emergency call-up order.

Completely a mob.

Under such circumstances, even Vera, who had no military knowledge, began to panic, so she hurriedly called Colin to discuss countermeasures.

Colin sighed and made his last effort: "Leave those rout soldiers behind now, and it's too late for us to walk with only the cavalry."

"Isn't there a better way?" Vera still didn't give up.

The kindness of this female mage was somewhat misused in Colin's opinion, so he had to persuade again:

"I know you don't want to abandon them, but even if we stay, we won't be able to save them, we'll only risk our own lives."

Vera stopped talking, but her eyes were still stubborn.

Colin had no choice but to turn his head to look at Bliss, hoping that the battle-hardened knight would be more rational.

However, Bliss Knight's eyes were full of determination: "I pulled these people into this battlefield, and I have already abandoned them once, and I don't want to abandon them a second time."

Only now did Colin know that it was not because of Vera's order that Bliss agreed to accept the defeated troops, but because of guilt.

Although in Colin's view, he was only acting on the orders of the marquis, and it was not his fault.

Looking at the resolute Bliss Knight, Colin sighed in his heart.

He knew very well that once a strong-willed person like Bliss made up his mind, it would be difficult to be persuaded by others.

However, Knight Bliss is also very clear that this time it is really bad luck, so he looked straight into Colin's eyes and asked earnestly:

"Knight Colin, I hope you can take Miss Vera to go first..."

"No! I'm not leaving!" Vera immediately refused.

"Miss Vera..."

"I won't go! These are my people, and it is my duty to protect them!"

The atmosphere suddenly became sensational...

Colin only felt a pain in his head, as if he was watching a bloody TV show.

However, the phrase "my people" that Vera said in a hurry surprised him.

Because those who are qualified to say such words must be members of the Saint Hilde family, and they must be members of the direct line.

But the Duke of St. Hilde has no daughters.

Is it an illegitimate daughter?

wrong.

Colin also thought that although the laws of nobility in this world are very similar to those in the Middle Ages on Earth, there are still differences. Here, illegitimate children (women) have absolutely no right of inheritance.

The nobles here are particularly obsessed with the purity of their blood.

Even if the direct descendants are dead, the nobles would rather choose an heir from the collateral line of the family than pass the title to an illegitimate child (daughter).

Therefore, even if Vera is really the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of the North, she is not qualified to say something like "my people".

Just as Colin made up his mind about Vera's true identity, the arguments between the two on the opposite side subsided.

Unsurprisingly, Bliss failed to convince Vera to go first.

Although a bit virgin and a bit silly, this female mage did show admirable courage.

There was silence in the tent.

After a long time, Bliss suddenly said:

"Knight Colin, you should leave here. You must have learned from Knight Raymond that your father, Baron Angele, has died in battle, so you need to go back to inherit the title."

Colin suddenly raised his head, looked at Bliss' expressionless face, and asked abruptly, "Why hasn't this news been relayed back to Greycastle?"

Bliss hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Since the end of last year, the Marquis has ordered all news on the front line to be blocked."

"why?"

Bliss didn't answer.

But Colin could also guess the answer.

It's nothing more than that since then, the battle situation on the front line has taken a turn for the worse, and Marquis Charles has the motivation to block the news whether it is to save his face or to prevent people from floating in the rear.

But he may not know that such a move indirectly killed Colin's predecessor.

Charles St Hilde.

Colin has quietly hated the name.

"Knight Colin, you'd better go back to Greycastle first, you are needed there..." Vera was obviously the first to hear the news, and she felt sympathy for Colin, and wanted to persuade him to leave first.

But Colin put on an impassioned gesture and refused righteously:

"I won't leave either! Whether it's to avenge my father or protect the glory of the human race, I must stay and fight the trolls to the death!"

Of course Colin would not leave at this time.

But not because of those high-sounding reasons, but because I don't want to waste the blood of a high-level knight and mage...

"Colin..." Vera's big beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, "You are a real knight!"

Even Bliss was moved, as if he was suddenly impressed by Colin.

The three stared at each other for a long time, the tent filled with the air of generosity...

It's a pity that Vera and Bliss don't know that this guy Colin is already thinking about which posture to use to pretend to be dead...

After the three gradually calmed down, they finally began to discuss countermeasures.

Now that the principle of "don't give up, don't give up" has been made clear, then, with so many burdens, it is a sure thing to be caught up by the wolf cavalry.

A battle is inevitable.

Bliss first began to talk about his battle plan, where to meet the enemy, how to build simple fortifications, how cavalry and infantry would cooperate, and so on.

Vera listened intently.

As for how much this female mage who lacked military common sense understood, only God knows.

Colin was absent-minded, as if thinking about something else.

"Knight Colin, Knight Colin?"

"What?" Colin came back to his senses and saw the two people opposite him staring at him.

"Do you have any comments on this combat plan?"

Colin didn't answer this question, but said with deliberation: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Because I was thinking, maybe, we might escape this battle."

"Really? How to hide?" Vera asked hopefully.

She doesn't want to be a martyr unless she has to.

Moreover, the previous successful breakout gave her confidence and made her feel that Colin might create another miracle.

Colin calmly drew a simple map on the ground with a horse whip, and then tapped lightly at a river bend:

"We're hiding here!"
