The Original Vampire

In the banquet hall of Fengdie Fort, it was quiet for a while.

Everyone was digesting the shocking news that Mrs. Grace had just said.

After a long while, a series of questions emerged from the people who responded:

"You mean an entire Fallen Eagle City has been reduced to ashes?"

"Where are the residents of the city? Are they all..."

"Could this be the price of the forbidden curse you just mentioned?"

"Is the Uman family crazy? In order to support the St. Theon family, they burned their nests?"

...

Mrs. Grace pressed her hands down and soothed:

"Everyone, this news came back from a chamber of commerce that has been well acquainted with the Morrison family. I have immediately sent someone to Fall Eagle City to check it out. I'm afraid it will take a while to know what happened there. ."

Everyone stopped asking questions, but it was inevitable that they started to think, whisper and talk.

At this time, Colin also temporarily put away the surprise on his face, and asked Vera: "Can the cost of the curse really be transferred to the civilians in a city?"

"I...I'm not sure." Vera's brows were twisted together, "At least the cost of the forbidden spell as I understand it can only be borne by the caster."

Bachelor Dawn said in a deep voice: "But it was a brand new forbidden curse that killed the Duke of St. Hilde that day, so it is very likely that Mr. Wang has developed a method that can transfer the side effects of the forbidden curse."

"It's possible." Vera's face became extremely solemn.

Everyone also fell into silence.

They have also reacted, if this is true, then the status of the mage, and the relationship between Yevel and the Glory Empire, may be about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

"This is a sorcery to exterminate humanity! His Majesty the Emperor will never allow such a sorcery to appear in the Glorious Empire!" Earl Morrison's voice was a bit sharp.

Obviously, this forbidden curse is a great threat to every imperial knight.

It can kill a paladin, but it can also kill any knight.

And the price seems to only need to sacrifice some civilians.

In the past, the imperial nobles were not too nervous about the forbidden curses of the wizards. Although the forbidden curses were extremely powerful, it was a life-for-life method. As long as the wizards were not driven to a dead end, they would not fight to death. .

However, if Mr. Hooters really didn’t have to pay his own life, but instead used the lives of civilians in exchange for the lives of the Paladins, even if it was exchanged for the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in a city, it was also in the eyes of the imperial nobles. An extremely terrible thing.

Such a forbidden curse is simply a sword of Damocles, hanging high above the head of every imperial knight.

Colin and Bachelor Dawn looked at each other, and sighed in unison.

Because according to their previous analysis, the release of this forbidden curse in Fallen Eagle City was probably approved by Emperor Reinhardt.

The imperial emperor wanted to restrict his uncle, Prince Leahy, the Paladin.

As for whether the emperor's move will cause fire or even a greater disaster, it can only wait for the development of the situation.

Mrs. Grace patted Earl Morrison on the arm, indicating that he needn't panic too much:

"When the investigation becomes clear about the situation in Fallen Eagle City, I will also send this matter to Dragon City to inform His Majesty the Emperor. I believe that His Majesty will not allow such an evil mage to continue to wreak havoc in the empire."

Afterwards, she looked at Colin and asked, "Viscount Angele, are you planning to **** the Duke's body back to Wintery City this time?"

Colin nodded and said, "Yes. In addition, I am also going to the Golden Lion Army's garrison to persuade this army to withdraw to Winter City and avoid the rebels for the time being."

Mrs. Grace frowned suddenly: "Viscount Angley, is it your idea to let the Golden Lion Army withdraw to Winter City?"

Before Colin answered, Bachelor Dawn preemptively said: "Mrs. Grace, this is the death of Lord Duke."

"Oh? Really?" Mrs. Grace looked at the former Duke's confidant with playful eyes.

"Yes." Bachelor Dawn's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to explain, "The moment the Lord Duke received the news that the Maynum family sent troops to the north, he had already made the news to withdraw the Golden Lion army, but it hadn't If it is too late to issue the order, the Lord Duke will... be miserable."

Mrs. Grace seemed not to believe this statement, but she couldn't refute it.

After all, the last part of Duke St. Hilde's life was spent in Ice Rock City. Except for Bachelor Dawn and the Anglia couple, it is hard to say that they know what the Lord Duke is thinking at the end.

Seeing that Earl Morrison seemed to want to say something, Colin spoke first: "Earl, I heard that the Papilio Legion of the Morrison family has excellent combat effectiveness. Now the situation in the North is critical. Isn't it time to send troops to fight the rebellion? "

Earl Morrison blushed when Colin praised his family's army for "superior combat effectiveness."

The Swallowtail Legion is not considered a strong army on the northern front line. What's more, Charles's fiasco on the front line last year ruined the essence of the Swallowtail Legion.

However, at this moment, in the presence of Colin and Vera, Earl Morrison was not easy to refuse bluntly, so he had to make a frowning face and sighed:

"Your Excellency, the Morrison family is certainly willing to send troops to help the St. Hild family clean up the rebels, but the great famine hit us by surprise. Without enough food, I dare not send out the army easily."

In fact, Earl Morrison was not deliberately making excuses. The famine in the north was fierce and sudden. In addition, the Saint Theon family used the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to secretly hoard food in advance, raising the price of food, resulting in the current North Most lords in the realm are in a state of food shortage.

Except for the rebels who had been prepared for a long time, only Colin had searched the half-elf kingdom, and there was no worries about food.

At the beginning of the year, Earl Morrison also personally went to Ice Rock City to buy food from Colin.

At this time, Earl Morrison once again used food shortages as an excuse, also hoping to get some more food from Colin.

Mrs. Grace also nodded in agreement: "Viscount Anglia, the Morrison family's food stock is indeed very tense, but our determination to support the St. Hild family has never wavered.

In this way, I can promise you that if the Anglia family can solve the food problem of the Swallowtail Legion, then this legion will definitely appear on the front line against the rebels! "

Hearing such a promise, Vera's eyes suddenly lit up, and she held Mrs. Grace's hand excitedly, and she couldn't help but express her gratitude.

However, Colin did not immediately agree.

Who knows how big the Morrison family's food gap is, he doesn't want to let Anglialing fall into a state of food shortage in order to help them.

What's more, after some analysis by Bachelor of Dawn, Colin has already determined the most appropriate strategic choice under the current situation-Shou!

Drag the war into a deadlock ~www.readwn.com~ to divide the vassal forces of the St. Theon family, and even find a way to push Vera into the Duke of the North. This is a better choice.

Instead of taking the initiative to head-to-head with the rebels.

"The Morrison family is indeed Zhongliang from the North!" Colin smiled and brought a high hat to the opponent, and then said with sloppy eyes, "Well, Lord Earl, you can first count the food and grass needs of the Papilio Legion. Then send someone to Ice Rock City to discuss with my butler Yimeng."

"Thank you so much, then!" Earl Morrison held Colin's hands excitedly, "The help of the Angley family, we Morrison family will always remember it!"

Mrs. Grace seemed to see Colin's perfunctory meaning, and didn't say anything more, but took Vera's hand and chatted with the daily routine.

The old lady didn't seem to be keen on sending troops to fight the rebels.

Colin didn't care either, holding the wine glass and started to deal with the gentlemen and ladies who kept coming to talk.

However, his mind was still paying attention to the **** smell, trying to figure out its source.
