The Original Vampire

"Yes."

Colin wanted to deny it, but for some reason, he chose to be honest.

"What?" Vera's eyes widened, as if she knew the young knight in front of her for the first time, "Then... what about that plan? The suspects pretended to be crossing the river, but they were actually hiding in the most dangerous river bend... You It’s not that the most dangerous place is the safest…”

"That's all a lie to you." Ke Lin looked into the eyes of the female mage. "Those wolf cavalrymen have already been tricked by us once before. How could they be fooled so easily?"

"You..." Vera took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

She was not lacking in courage, and just because her hope of escaping was suddenly shattered, she lost her temper.

"What are you doing this for?"

Vera looked complicated, and the glorious image that Colin had built up in her heart was crumbling.

"We can't run away." Colin sighed, his tone gradually cold, "From the moment you made the decision not to abandon the collapsed troops, you should have this consciousness.

This is a life-and-death battlefield, there is no room for kindness, let alone naivety!

Even if my sleight of hand tricks the pursuers into thinking we really crossed the river, how long can I deceive them?

They are wolf cavalry soldiers, but we have a large group of infantrymen dragging them down. After they cross the river and find out that something is wrong, it will take at most a day or two to catch up with them.

We cannot avoid this battle!

Therefore, since fighting cannot be avoided, the only thing we can do is to choose the most favorable place for fighting. "

Ke Lin pointed to his feet and said solemnly: "This is the most dangerous place, but also the place where we have the best chance of winning!"

"Why?" Vera felt that she no longer dared to trust Colin.

Before Colin could answer, Bliss had already said, "Because here, we have no way to escape."

"That's right!" Colin gave Bliss a deep look, "Only the rabbits who are cornered will turn back and bite, and the same goes for those who are defeated.

If we are overtaken by the wolf cavalry in the open field, then there is no doubt that as long as the other party charges, the defeated soldiers we gather will inevitably collapse and then flee in all directions.

Therefore, they must be left with no escape.

Since we are unwilling to abandon them, we must not let them abandon us!

Either, win the battle, or be buried here together! "

Colin's eloquent remarks made Vera's heart numb.

She no longer knew how to evaluate the young knight in front of her.

I don't know if what he did was right or wrong.

Whether it was her childhood in Winter City or her schooling career in Yeville Tower, everything Vera met was simple and beautiful.

Of course, this is also because her noble status is well protected.

However, Vera is not ignorant of evil.

However, she had never met someone like Colin.

Brave and fearless knight? Ingenious genius? An elegant and polite gentleman? The devil who plays with people's hearts?

...

She didn't know which one was his real face.

Or, are these all?

Compared with Vera, whose mind is not yet fully mature, Bliss's reaction is much simpler.

The battle-hardened knight was more pragmatic: "Will your plan be effective? You know, Marquis Charles had a similar plan."

"You're talking about the Battle of Mirror Lake, right?" Colin seemed to have known that Bliss would ask.

"That's right."

"Yes, I must admit that my tactic was inspired by the Marquis of Charles." Colin said earnestly, but his eyes rolled over in his heart.

Fighting against the water, breaking the boat, and dying to survive is not a new strategy in another time and space.

But it has not appeared in this time and space.

The arrangement of Marquis Charles in Mirror Lake does have the prototype of the last stand.

But in Colin's view, the Marquis of Charles was abysmal with the details.

And the details determine success or failure.

In the same way, Han Xin was able to fight the classic battle of the last stand in Jingxing, but Ma Su could only defeat Jieting and become a joke of the ages.

Colin was confident that he would not become another Ma Su.

Bliss obviously didn't have such confidence, and continued to ask with a cold face: "Marquis Charles' strategy didn't work out in Mirror Lake, why do you think you can succeed in running river with a similar strategy?"

"Because the Marquis Charles made two big mistakes!

First of all, his heart is not cruel enough! Although the Jinghu Camp is backwater, it is not a real desperate situation. Just think about the rout soldiers, many of whom were able to escape by jumping into the lake.

Therefore, I chose this bend of the Laundry River.

Surrounded by water on three sides, the water flow is rapid, and the downstream is the waterfall cliff, which is impossible to escape. It is a real desperate situation.

Here, they can only fight to the death! "

Bliss looked slightly moved and continued to ask, "What about the second mistake?"

"The second mistake of the Marquis was that he didn't leave anyone in the Mirror Lake camp who could lead those miscellaneous soldiers to the death." Colin waved to Bliss, "I'm not saying that you are not qualified..."

"I really don't have this qualification, and I even escaped." Bliss didn't mind at all.

Colin became more and more appreciative of this cold-faced knight, nodded and continued:

"Under the circumstances at the time, the Mirror Lake Camp needed a noble with enough prestige, a lord with a title, in order to stabilize the miscellaneous soldiers who were temporarily recruited, let them resist hard, and cause enough damage to the trolls. Trouble.

In this way, Marquis Charles led the army from behind the trolls and attacked from both sides.

It's a pity that Lord Marquis did not leave enough characters in Jinghu Camp...

But we don't make such mistakes! "

Having said that, Colin stepped forward, approached Vera, and stared into her eyes: "So this time, as the first heir to the Baron Greycastle, I will stay in the desperate predicament of the River Bend and live with those soldiers. die.

Miss Vera, I didn't know you..."

"Of course I'll stay." Vera said without hesitation.

At this point, she had decided to trust Colin again.

Of course, she had no other choice.

Everyone here was actually calculated by Colin.

Colin nodded and turned to Bliss: "Knight Bliss, please lead the cavalry to stay away from the river for a while, and when the trolls attack us, you will lead your army to kill from behind!"

Bliss' eyes flashed: "Why don't I stay in the river bend, you lead the cavalry..."

"No!" Colin immediately rejected Bliss' proposal, because he knew that this was Bliss' temptation.

Those who stay on the frontal battlefield are the most dangerous, and those who lead the cavalry still have the possibility to escape.

Therefore, in order to convince the other party to believe in himself, Colin could only choose to stay: "The people who stay in the river must have enough weight, I am more suitable to stay than you. Moreover, those cavalry are your subordinates, it is up to you. Only by leading can we better display our combat effectiveness.”

Bliss' eyes changed slightly, as if it was only then that he recognized that Colin had passed his test, and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Colin took another look at Vera: "I know that you have a noble status, so if you can reveal your true identity before the war, it will greatly inspire those soldiers.

Of course, if you have concerns, I won't force it..."

Vera was stunned and did not speak.

Just when Colin thought the other party was unwilling, he heard a clear and firm voice:

"it is good!"
