Original Vampire

The winter in the north is always extremely long. By the end of February, the heavy snow and the howling cold wind still showed no signs of abating, and the spring that many people were looking forward to was completely absent. shadow.

Ice Rock City, city gate.

"Colin, just send it here." Caitlin reached out and hugged her younger brother, and helped him straighten the collar of his shirt. Warned repeatedly, "When you are free, must come to Falling Eagle City, look at me!"

"It must be." Colin laughed and nodded, "You have to be careful all the way."

Knight Varla solemnly gave Colin a salute: "Viscount Don’t worry, adults, I will protect Caitlin. In addition, I will tell Sir Father truthfully the words you confessed!"

"Well. Be sure to let Count understand my goodwill, the Anglia family and The friendship of the Uman family will last forever!" Colin said pretentiously.

"Yes!"

The two exchanged glances tacitly, and finally waved goodbye.

After sending off the Varla couple, Colin had just returned to the Red Fort. Before he could sit down and rest, he saw Steward Emon hurriedly approaching.

"Master, another letter from Pinewood Town."

Colin frowns took it, opened the envelope, scanned it quickly, and laughed: "Hey! This one! Baron Lombard, he really can't help it!"

Pinewood Town is located to the west of Ice Rock City and is the territory of Baron Lombard.

This Baron Lombard also asked Colin to buy food. However, he was not as easy to pass as the young and immature Count Morrison. He bargained with Colin for a long time, and made Colin so tiresome that he almost didn’t. Happy and scattered.

Although he finally accepted Colin's installment delivery conditions, he was obviously dissatisfied with the result.

As the news of sufficient food in Ice Rock City continued to spread, nearby slaves flooded into Colin's territory, providing Colin with a large amount of labor.

In contrast, the territories surrounding the Viscountry began to experience population loss.

At first was only a slave, but later, as the famine deepened, the high food prices made many civilians unable to afford food.

These civilians who are running out of food have also begun to pack their belongings and drag their families to Ice Rock City.

Colin certainly does not refuse to come.

He is very aware of the importance of population in this era, and Ice Rock City, which has a large amount of food, can continue to receive inflows.

But this obviously made the surrounding lords anxious.

However, although they are anxious, they dare not do anything to Colin easily.

After all, Black Cavalry is in Ice Rock City. Although it is only a remnant army, it is still not something that the little lords around can fight against.

even more how, Colin just defeated the famous Pegasus Legion in the East in the Silver Moon City battle. Such a record has made many people regard him as Marquis Garcia. The northern border will be gradually raised.

Of course, there are always some fools who don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth in this world.

For example, Baron Lombard in Pinewood Town.

He has written many times, asking Colin why he took in his people, and even asked Colin to repatriate all the people in Pinewood Town.

This attitude obviously angered Colin.

Tear the letter to pieces and throw it into the fireplace, Colin turned back to Emon instructed:

"Make a reply for me and tell Baron Lombard that I can’t recognize which Pinewood is. The residents of Town, if he wants to return to his leader, he will come to Ice Rock City himself."

"Yes, sir."

Emon was just about to leave. But Colin stopped again: "Wait, there is still no news from Winter City?"

"No. It is said that Duke Saint Hild was injured in the previous duel with the Paladin of the troll empire. I haven't been able to meet the envoy we sent." Colin sneered, obviously he didn't believe the duke's excuse.

At this time, he suddenly realized that Baron Lombard in Pinewood Town might be a good opportunity to test the Duke...

Thinking of this, Colin flashed a cold light in his eyes. , Immediately said to Emon: "I will write the reply to Baron Lombard myself."

After saying that, he sat down at the desk, picked up the quill, and wrote shua~ shua~ shua~ Finished a letter.

Emon, who knows Colin’s temperament very well, has probably guessed it at this time-I am afraid that the wording of this reply will not make that Baron Lombard like...

Here Colin has already Covered the sealing wax, handed the letter to Emon: "Send me to Pinewood Town."

"Yes, sir."

……

5 days later, that Baron Lombard actually came to Ice Rock City in person.

At the same time, he also brought more than a thousand soldiers, who looked murderous-looking, but laughed at Knight Loge at the head of the city.

"Are the only ones, who are you scaring?" Knight Loge shook his head and smiled at the guard around him, and ordered them to open the city gates, welcoming Baron Lombard in.

Baron Lombard is a sturdy, rugged middle age person. The full beard on his face is connected with his hair, looking like a grumpy gorilla.

"Where is the Viscount Anglia?" Baron Lombard's voice was loud, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the snow on the city gate was shaken down.

Knight Loge gave a salute perfunctorily and replied with a smile: "Master Baron, our Viscount is waiting for you in the Red Fort."

Baron Lombard's face became more gloomy, obviously I am very dissatisfied that Colin didn't greet me at the city gate.

However, Colin's title is higher than him after all, and Baron Lombard is not easy to say that Colin is rude.

Of course, Baron Lombard is not ashamed of Colin.

After all, he is not a vassal of Colin. Although there is a gap between the titles of the two, they are not affiliated.

Following Knight Loge all the way to the Red Fort, I saw Colin greeted him in front of the castle.

Baron Lombard's face only slightly eased, but he still had that cold attitude.

Colin didn't seem to mind the other party's indifference, and still greeted Baron Lombard with a smile, and even pretended to be affectionate to take the other's arm and walk with him to the castle.

Baron Lombard couldn’t help but feel a little disdain. He didn’t really value Colin, the fast-rising viscount. He thought that he was just walking around with Marquis Garcia to the ice field. After some credit, he was promoted. Viscount.

Now that there is a demographic conflict between the two sides, Baron Lombard is even more uncomfortable with Colin.

This time he came to Ice Rock City, he was determined to bring back all the leaders who belonged to Pinewood Town.

Otherwise, there will be no one to help him farm in the coming spring plowing.

Baron Lombard was wondering how to speak, when suddenly he noticed that someone was approaching quickly behind him.

He turned his head suspiciously, and saw an armored Knight wearing a horse-faced mask rushing towards him, with a long sword in his hand glowing cold light!

"There is assassin!" Baron Lombard shouted immediately, preparing to draw his sword to meet the enemy, but was shocked to find that his right arm was held tightly by Colin, completely impossible to move even a little bit.

Baron Lombard was so frightened that he immediately realized that it was a trap: "Angel..."

Before the voice was over, the weird man with the horse-faced mask had already rushed to him. Baron Lombard approached.

The blade light flashed, and Baron Lombard's head was cut to the ground in an instant, but his body was still standing there, and the blood around his neck was sprayed high like a fountain.

The guards of the Lombard family were shocked on the spot by this incident. How could they have thought that their lord was assassinated at the entrance of the Red Fort!

Until Colin's sharp voice sounded: "Grab him, don't let the assassin run away!"

The guards of the Lombard family woke up like a dream, and ran out to the old. The distant assassin chased it.

Knight Loge stared at this scene blankly, seeming to understand something, and then carefully asked: "My lord, are we going to chase it?"

Colin did not relax at this time. Opened Baron Lombard's right arm, carefully avoided the blood spurting from the opponent's neck, righteously commanded:

"Of course we must chase after! Baron Lombard died in Ice Rock City, we have the responsibility, we must Catch assassin!"
