The Original Vampire

Chapter 239: arrival

At the end of May, the temperature in the north is not low.

But on the rushing river, a layer of solid ice has condensed.

"Hey~ Master Viscount! I said I will definitely make it through!"

Above the ice, Master Cusius jumped up and down, showing Colin that his "masterpiece" was fine.

Colin smiled and waved to Knight Logger: "Come on."

The Knights of Log took the lead and began to organize the cavalry to cross the river.

At the same time, beware of the possible appearance of the Dawson family sentinel.

However, Colin's pedestrian targets were not big, and they were all cavalry coming and going like wind. Although the Dawson family was on the north bank of the rushing river, it was impossible to completely block the entire river.

Of course, it would be different if the army crossed the river.

This is also the reason why Colin only brought a thousand Qingqi here. If there are too many people, he will be blocked by the Dawson family when he wants to cross the river. It may be another fierce battle.

After crossing the rushing river and walking for another half day, Colin and others encountered the Sentinels of the Golden Lion Army.

After identifying their identities, the sentries led Colin and his party to the camp of the Golden Lion Corps.

In the evening, Colin finally saw a huge barracks and the golden lion flag flying in the wind.

The main generals of the Golden Lion Legion who received the news had already lined up outside the camp to welcome the arrival of Colin and his party.

On the way here, Bachelor Dawn briefly introduced the senior generals of the Golden Lion Army to Colin.

Legion commander Nelson Knight, and his two deputies-Louis Knight and Cambenin Knight.

Of course, as the direct army of the Saint Hild family, the so-called commander of the Golden Lion Legion is actually a name.

It is the Duke of St. Hilde who really controls this army. Of course, if it is the first heir of the Duke, such as the former Marquis of Charles, he is also qualified to command this army.

It's just that now that the Duke of St. Hild is dead, and the rank of the Marquis of the North is vacant, then it is questionable who orders this Golden Lion army to listen to.

At this time, the attitude of the Nelson Knight, the commander of the legion, became very important.

Knight Nelson is a middle-aged man with a majestic demeanor and extraordinary craftsmanship. He is two meters tall and has a sturdy body. He seems to have an aura of no anger and prestige.

The Louis Cavaliers are older, with pale temples, and a kind smile on his face, and he always speaks like a spring breeze.

Knight Cambenin was just the opposite, cold temperament, reticent, and a hideous scar on his face, and he felt a little uncomfortable looking at it.

These three knights can command the Golden Lion Legion, and naturally they are deeply trusted by the Duke of St. Hild, and their loyalty should be no problem.

After some greetings, the Nelson Knights welcomed Colin and others into the barracks.

The last elite of the Saint-Hilde family gathered here. The neatly arranged soldiers and horses and the military tents that can't be seen at a glance, there is a kind of reassuring power to look at.

The army of 80,000 is in order, and it can also be seen from this that the Nelson Knight does have a very good commanding ability.

Entering the temporary command post, Knight Nelson asked straightforwardly: "Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia, I have heard the news of the death of the Duke, but I don't know if this is true or not?"

"It's true." Vera nodded sadly.

Then, she recounted what happened on the wedding day and some of her guesses about the murderer.

The Nelson Knight listened silently, sadness and anger flowing in the camp.

When the three commanders of the Golden Lion Army digested the news, Colin gave a light cough and said:

"Everyone, I know that the death of Lord Duke is difficult for you to accept for a while, and you must want revenge as soon as possible. However, now that the enemy is powerful, the Menham family's army has also entered the northern territory and will soon appear in the Golden Lion Army. From the rear, therefore, my suggestion is to withdraw to Winter City first and avoid the front for the time being, and then make further plans."

Colin's words didn't cause much disturbance, and Knight Nelson still lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Obviously, even if he had married Vera, Colin still had no right to mobilize this army.

"I also think that the army should be withdrawn. We cannot bury the last elite force of the St. Hild family on the rushing river." Vera also agreed.

But the Nelson Knight still did not speak.

The atmosphere in the camp gradually became a little awkward.

At this time, Louis Knight smiled and said:

"Viscount Anglia, I know that you are really planning for the Golden Lion Legion, but we are hereby blocked by the Dawson family at the order of the Duke. If we withdraw, the Dawson family will take the opportunity to cross the rushing river and invade the Saint In the immediate territory of the Hilde family, who will bear this responsibility?"

Colin shook his head and retorted: "But if you are trapped here and wait until the Maynum family cuts off the army and flanks the Dawson family on both sides, the Golden Lion Army may not escape the defeat."

Louis Knight wanted to speak, but seeing Knight Nelson slowly stand up, he shut his mouth decisively and threw the problem to the opponent.

Knight Nelson's gaze swept across Colin's face, and finally stayed on Vera, and asked: "Miss Vera, where is the legacy of the Lord Duke?"

"Just outside."

"Can we admire the legacy of Lord Duke?"

"sure."

Vera immediately looked at Colin, and Colin nodded to Knight Logger, motioning him to push in the coffin of the Duke of St. Hild.

Knight Logger took his orders and left.

The camp fell into an awkward silence again.

Colin and Bachelor Dawn looked at each other, and they both saw each other's dignity.

The senior generals of the Golden Lion Legion were more stubborn than they thought.

It's just such stubbornness, in Colin's view, a bit inexplicable.

Even if Nelson and the others feel that Colin and Vera are not qualified to give orders to the Golden Lion Army, under the current circumstances, if the Golden Lion Army does not want to be attacked by two sides, the best option is to withdraw to Winter City.

Colin couldn't understand why the Nelson Knights and others were so resistant to this suggestion.

Soon, Knight Logger pushed in the coffin of the Duke of St. Hild.

The crowd immediately gathered around, preparing to salute and mourn.

With a click, the lid of the coffin was slowly opened.

Colin stroked his chest with his left hand and bowed his head, with a sad expression on his face just right.

But immediately, he heard the questioning voice of the Nelson Knight:

"Viscount Angley, are you sure this is the body of Lord Duke?"

Um?

Colin raised his head with a puzzled look, looked at the coffin, and explained:

"Knight Nelson~www.readwn.com~ Lord Duke was petrified by an unknown forbidden curse, so his body may look a little..."

Halfway through the conversation, Colin was also stunned on the spot.

Because he saw a stone sculpture of the Duke of St. Hild lying in the coffin.
