The Original Vampire

"Ta Tata..."

As the Knights of Bliss led the cavalry out of the river bend, the entire camp immediately fell into a panic.

The news that the troll wolf cavalry was about to catch up had already spread, and everyone was already panicking, but now they thought that Bliss and others were escaping, and this time they stabbed a hornet's nest.

Many people have quietly gathered together, packed up and prepared to run away.

At this moment, Vera and Colin appeared in front of the crowd to let them settle down temporarily.

Seeing that the two nobles with the highest status in the entire camp had not left, everyone felt that there was still hope and that they had not been abandoned.

However, the departure of the Bliss Knight and the news of the approaching trolls still made everyone's faces full of anxiety and anxiety, and everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme, and they could no longer withstand any stimulation.

They stared at the silhouettes of Vera and Colin, expecting to get some good news from them.

Most of the civilians in this era are a group of confused lambs. They are ignorant, ignorant, and cowardly. They are powerless to control their own destiny, and even dare not control their own destiny.

So, they put their destiny in the hands of the nobles, eager for the nobles to lead them to prosperity and glory.

But what they didn't know was that the nobility's guidance was often at the cost of slavery.

At this time, Vera saw this confusion in the eyes of everyone, and she certainly would not let them down with this desire.

She didn't speak.

Just one action completely stunned everyone in the camp.

She lifted her veil.

The shimmering light of the morning light swayed down, outlining the beautiful face under the veil.

Time seemed to stand still.

The people who were originally restless held their breath at this moment.

As if for fear of disturbing the beautiful, firm, but also a little shy girl.

But before everyone could appreciate this beautiful picture enough, Vera spoke up.

The rushing sound of the rushing river could not hide her soft but steady voice:

"My name is Willa St. Hilde, the lord of the North, the adopted daughter of the Duke of St. Hilde."

Adopted daughter!

It turns out that she is the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North!

Colin's eyes widened, and there was a huge wave in his heart.

You know, in this world, adopted children (daughters) have the right to inherit!

Completely different from those illegitimate children (daughters) spurned by nobles, adopted children (daughters) are the legal heirs recognized by the Imperial Senate.

Their inheritance rights are second only to direct descendants.

Therefore, in order to become the adopted son (daughter) of an aristocrat, first of all, the bloodline must be pure and noble.

If either of his parents is a commoner, he or she can never be legally adopted by a noble.

Secondly, if you want to adopt an heir, you must pay an adoption tax to the Imperial Senate in exchange for the Senate's recognition of the adopted child (daughter).

In order to prevent nobles from abusing their adoption rights and disrupting the normal order of title succession, this adoption tax is extremely high.

Ordinary minor nobles couldn't afford the money even if they went bankrupt, and even for a big noble like the Saint Hilde family, paying an adoption tax would take a long time.

Therefore, the nobles are extremely cautious about adoption.

Generally speaking, only those nobles who are wealthy and have no direct descendants will choose a favorite descendant as an adopted child (daughter) in the family's collateral line, so as to prevent their titles from falling into the hands of people they don't like.

Although Colin did not understand why the Duke of Saint Hilde, who had three sons, adopted Vera, and sent Vera to Yeville to be trained as a mage.

However, this did not affect Vera from becoming the fourth heir to the Duke of the North!

Therefore, she will obtain the sworn allegiance of the Knights of Bliss.

Therefore, she is qualified to say something like "my people".

Therefore, when she revealed her true identity at the bend of the rushing river, the soldiers who were panicked were so shocked and so excited.

Even most of them have already clenched the hilt in their hands, ready to die on the spot for her!

Just wait for her to say that.

"I know, you are all scared and panicked." Vera's eyes slowly swept across the crowd and looked at them one by one:

"Me too. Scared, panicked.

However, I did not despair, even if there is no way out now!

Because I know that you will not abandon me.

Just like I didn't abandon you in the first place.

No matter how critical the situation is, I keep my mission in mind and my duty to you.

As the adopted daughter of Duke St. Hilde, I have sworn to protect the people of the north forever!

And as citizens of the North, I also hope that you all have the courage to take up arms and join me in guarding the North and fighting the invading enemies!

I promise, I will fight with you until the last moment! "

"For Ms. Vera!" Colin saw the opportunity and stood up and shouted.

Originally, he also prepared a long speech, wanting to use his identity as the son of a baron to win people's hearts, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

He didn't even need to emphasize his identity anymore, Vera's identity was enough to arouse the fighting spirit of this group of soldiers.

The Saint Hilde family has ruled in the north of the empire for thousands of years, and its prestige is unparalleled.

And Vera's noble status, her stunning beauty, and the kindness she has shown along the way have made her the goddess in the hearts of these soldiers.

They will never allow those dirty and ugly trolls to desecrate this goddess!

Even at the cost of life.

"For Madam Vera!"

"For Madam Vera!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

...

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, followed by a roar of thunder.

Before the rising sun could wake up the sleeping earth, it was covered by dark clouds.

At the bend of the rushing river, human soldiers are already in full formation.

They held their breath and looked ahead, letting the slightest raindrops fall on their bodies, motionless like a sculpture.

The rain is getting bigger.

The wind is also getting faster.

A gray silk thread appeared on the horizon, and it spread quickly, like a raging tide, sweeping towards the human positions at the river bend!

"Ouch-"

Troll Wolf Rider, here we come!

"kill!!!!!"

"For Madam Vera!"

"For Madam Vera!"

...

In the face of the terrifying troll wolf cavalry, these human miscellaneous soldiers broke out at this moment with courage no less than that of the elite regular army.

Because they know that they have nowhere to go.

Since there is no way out, let's fight to the death!

Moreover, the existence of Vera also gave these confused soldiers endless fighting spirit and firm belief.

They believe that even if they die in battle, their stories will be passed down in the north.

Everyone will know that they have sworn to protect Vera Saint Hilde!

Even if the worst happens, they will be fortunate enough to return to the embrace of the Lord of Glory together with the goddess in their hearts.

"kill!!!!"

Colin took the lead and stood at the forefront of the position.

At this time, he must not back down.

Oncoming, are hundreds of sharp spears, like a suffocating death forest.

"Bang!"

Colin collided with the wolf cavalry leader without any fancy.

Then he just felt as if he had hit a tank.

"Hey!"

Colin only felt the darkness in front of him, and the huge pain almost made him lose his mind.

He could even clearly hear the crackle of his bones shattering, and the sound of the spear tearing through his chest.

For a while, he didn't know how far he was knocked out. After landing, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and at the same time he was depressed:

I wanted to pretend to be a hero, but I didn't expect...

As soon as I came up, I met a high-level troll warrior!

Grass! Isn't this 'dead' a little too soon!
