The Original Vampire

"Lord Kusius, I didn't expect you to be involved in this ambush."

Earl Avon sent off his brother and the army going north, turned back and smiled at a middle-aged man in a white mage robe:

Kusius seemed reluctant to talk more on this topic, but responded lightly: "I just happened to be at the right time."

Of course, this kind of words can't deceive Earl Evan, but he didn't ask too much.

This ambush against the Black Cavalry obviously involved multiple forces, and Earl Evan felt that he still had to go back and ask his father in person to find out the truth.

However, looking at the wounded soldiers gathered around, Earl Evan's brows could not help but wrinkle tightly.

At this time, he also clearly knew what kind of tragic price his brother had paid in order to ambush the Black Cavalry.

The 200,000-strong Pegasus Army actually killed 30,000 and wounded 50,000, and another 20,000 deserted soldiers under the crazy counterattack of the Black Cavalry.

In other words, the Pegasus Legion at that time had already shown signs of collapse. If the Black Cavalry Army had not completely drained the last drop of blood, the victory of this ambush battle might not have belonged to the Eastern Territory.

In addition, eighteen knights died in battle, including a fifth-order knight!

Such a tragic price was exchanged for the destruction of the Black Cavalry.

Earl Avon doesn't know if it's worth it.

It was only now that he understood why his brother had to continue to lead the army north.

The ambush, which took advantage of the right time and place, turned into a tragic victory. If Marquis Vincent returned to White Dew City like this, he would definitely lose his reputation.

The Duke of St. Pros would not easily let go of his son, who had damaged more than half of the Pegasus Legion.

Earl Evan suddenly felt that this time Marquis Vincent's trip to Silvermoon City might not be smooth sailing.

With a sigh, he didn't want to worry about his brother anymore, so he turned to the herald and said, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Half-elf palace.

After the consecration ceremony, the banquet officially began.

Colin casually dealt with the half-elf nobles who surrounded him for a while, then dismissed them and walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

The cold night wind blew into the empty palace, making the quiet here in stark contrast to the liveliness downstairs.

Ke Lin took a few steps forward and saw the figure leaning on the balcony.

Tonight's Vera was wearing a pink rose crochet skirt, the length of which was about ten centimeters above her knees, showing off her slender legs.

"It's the first time I've seen you wearing stockings." Colin stood behind Vera and said in a tone of appreciation.

Vera turned her head and smiled at Ke Lin Yanran: "This is given to me by Queen Elsa."

Because there is no chemical material such as nylon, the stockings in this world are generally made of silk and cotton.

The silk stockings produced in the half-elf kingdom have always been very popular among noble women.

"Well, it suits you very well." Colin nodded and praised while tasting it.

Seemingly unable to stand Colin's scorching gaze, Vera shyly reached out and pulled the skirt down.

But obviously, this is somewhat futile.

The girl's youthful posture made Colin's heart beat faster.

Taking a few steps forward and standing side by side with Vera, Ke Lin looked at the stars in the night sky and asked with a smile, "Why did you come here alone? Is the banquet below boring?"

"It's a little bit." Vera nodded, looking a little melancholy.

Colin seemed to understand something: "Are you homesick?"

Vera heard the words and turned to look at the man beside her.

Colin's warm eyes made her gradually feel at ease, and smiled: "It's a little bit."

"Don't worry. Marquis Garcia has led the black cavalry to pick us up, and you can go back soon."

"Well." Vera nodded, very well-behaved.

But Colin's next sentence made the girl's heart almost jump out of her throat.

"After I go back, I will ask the Duke to marry you."

Vera did not speak,

She didn't dare to look at Ke Lin, but her fair face was covered with red clouds in an instant, extremely bright.

"I heard that the person who killed His Majesty the previous king that night was turned into a winged knight by everyone." Vera shyly changed the topic.

In addition to being funny, Colin also found it funny.

"Really? Wing Knight? Sounds pretty cool."

"Then do you know why knights grow bat wings?" Vera was relieved when she saw that Colin didn't continue the topic.

"Maybe he also studied Druid." Colin decisively explained the reason that Earl Evan helped him think up.

"Druid? But hasn't this profession cut off its inheritance long ago?"

"Who knows. Maybe not completely."

Vera nodded thoughtfully: "Then this winged knight must be a half-elf. After all, druids need elf blood to cultivate."

"should be."

Colin suddenly felt that Queen Elsa could arrange for someone to deliberately guide this topic.

In this way, everyone will look for this winged knight among the half-elves, and not turn their suspicious eyes to Colin.

He can also use the identity of this winged knight to do some things that are not very convenient for him to do.

At this moment, Colin suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.

Looking back, I saw Queen Elsa in full costume standing there.

"Viscount Angele, Miss Vera, I didn't disturb you two, did I?"

"of course not."

"That's good, I came up to inform the two of you that the Black Cavalry is about to arrive at Silvermoon City."

"Really? Is Uncle Garcia coming soon?" Vera exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the Silvermoon Guard patrolling outside the city has encountered the outpost of the Black Cavalry and sent a signal back."

"Then let's go to the city gate to meet him." Colin said and strode out.

Although it was approaching late at night, the front of Silvermoon City was still illuminated by countless torches as bright as day.

Colin, Vera, and Queen Elsa stood side by side at the city gate, and the honor guard behind them also set up a battle.

After a while, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Amidst the rumbling sound of hooves, a thin black line suddenly emerged from the darkness and continued to spread towards Silvermoon City.

This familiar sense of oppression made Colin completely at ease.

But it didn't take long for him to frown.

Because he smelled a trace of blood.

Moreover, with the passage of time, as the Black Cavalry kept approaching Silvermoon City, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

Queen Elsa also realized that something was wrong, and turned to look at Colin: "Viscount Angele, the situation seems to be wrong."

Colin pursed his lips and said nothing.

Vera's face also became a little panic, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Ke Lin's face sinking like water, he swallowed the words again.

Finally, the black cavalry came to Yinyue City and began to slow down slowly.

At this time, the people who greeted them also saw the appearance of this army. Almost everyone had blood on their bodies!

Also, the number is not right!

The 50,000-strong black cavalry army is definitely not only of this size.

An ominous premonition enveloped Colin's heart, making him chill.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, a blood-stained knight stepped out and came to the gate of the city.

"Dudu Dudu, Dudu La La"

The half-elf honor guard even played the welcome music for some reason, but was stopped by Queen Elsa's sharp look back.

Knight Logue came to Colin and others, turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly in a choked tone:

"Ms. Vera, Viscount Angele, the main force of the black cavalry was ambushed in the Shadow Canyon, and Marquis Garcia was trapped in a siege.

wow

This bad news made Colin dizzy for a while, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Marquis Garcia was ambushed?

how can that be?

And still in a place like Shadow Canyon?

With Marquis Garcia's cautious fighting style, how could he hastily lead his army into the canyon without a careful investigation, which is extremely dangerous to the cavalry?

Forced to calm down, Colin asked, "How did you encounter the ambush? Why didn't you find out in advance?"

"Marquis Dawson has betrayed! He deceived Marquis Garcia and led the Black Cavalry into the enemy's trap!"

"Fran Dawson?" The image of a dwarf suddenly appeared in Colin's mind.

At the same time, an uncontrollable thought popped up in his heart. Could it be that this Marquis of Dawson betrayed Marquis Garcia under the orders of Duke St. Hilde?

If this is the case, I am afraid that from the beginning, Duke St. Hilde has been calculating himself and Marquis Garcia!

Using Yinyue City as a bait is to completely eliminate the unstable factor of the Black Cavalry, so that there will be no more noise in the northern border.

"How many of you are left now?"

"Eight thousand!"

"Eight thousand" Colin had a heavy face.

"Colin, uncle," Vera was also panic-stricken at this time.

Colin held Vera's little hand, and solemnly promised to both her and the Logue Knight:

"Rest assured, I will avenge the Black Cavalry!"
