The Original Vampire

"Viscount Auston, why are you here now? I thought you didn't want to redeem Marquis Vincent in the East?"

Colin leaned lazily on the reclining chair, squinting at the Viscount Auston in front of him.

Xiaobai curled up on his lap, like a blue sea cucumber, sleeping soundly.

"Sorry, Lord Viscount, I... delayed because of something."

Viscount Auston looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't have the nerve to say the reason for his delay.

The reason why he has only arrived at Bingyan City until now is because he misestimated the chaotic situation in the north and overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own guard.

Originally, before the Winter Veil Festival, Viscount Auston had been sent to Ice Rock City on the order of the Duke of the East, but after entering the North, he discovered that his bodyguards were lacking...

After daring to move forward for a few days, the guards of more than 100 people brought by Viscount Auston suffered heavy losses, and the mad slave mob attacked his team desperately.

Coupled with the unfamiliar place of life, Viscount Auston didn't even see the shadow of Ice Rock City, and found that his bodyguards were almost collapsed under the endless harassment of rebels.

In desperation, he had to lead the army back.

After going back, he was naturally scolded by the Duke of East Territory again, and even got kicked and a rib was broken.

After recuperating at home for a while, Viscount Auston brought a full body of guards and embarked on his second mission to Ice Rock City.

This time, he finally arrived successfully.

Of course, the hardships and dangers on the way are also indispensable, but Viscount Auston will definitely not tell Colin, after all, it will really damage the face of the nobles in the East.

"So, what does the Duke of Saint-Pros think of my proposal?"

"The Duke agrees with your proposal and is willing to exchange Marquis Garcia for Marquis Vincent."

"What about the time and place?"

"If you have no opinion, in a month, we will exchange prisoners of war on the banks of the Furious Waters."

Viscount Auston took out a marked simple map and handed it to Colin.

"I have no opinion on the location." Colin looked at the marker on the map and said, "But in terms of time... let's change it to three months later."

"Okay, the North Territory is really not peaceful now. Then three months later, I will report to the Duke when I go back. If he has no opinion, then this is settled."

"Um."

The two never mentioned prisoners of war other than the two marquis, because they all knew that there were no other prisoners of war.

In the battle of Shadow Canyon, except for the 8,000 remnants who escaped successfully under the leadership of Knight Logue and the captured Marquis Garcia, the rest of the black cavalry soldiers were all killed.

None were spared.

Similarly, after the First World War in Silvermoon City, Colin also "returned the favor" and executed all the prisoners of war of the Pegasus Army.

The confrontation between the North Territory and the East Territory after a hundred years can be said to be a lose-lose situation.

Perhaps, this is exactly what the Saint Theon family, who was hiding in the dark and manipulating the situation, wanted to see the most.

Not long after Viscount Oston left, the housekeeper Aemon came to report: "Master, reinforcements from the Half-Elves Kingdom are coming soon."

Colin stood up from his seat excitedly and said with a smile, "Oh? Come meet me!"

In order to deal with the coming storm in the north, Colin wrote to Queen Elsa last month, asking her to send the Silvermoon Guard to Ice Rock City to support.

Of course, Queen Elsa would not refuse Colin's request, and issued the order to send troops the day she received the letter.

When Colin led Knight Rego and others to the top of the city, he saw that a thin silver-gray line had appeared on the horizon on the east side of Ice Rock City.

Over time, this thin line gradually spread and eventually covered the wilderness of the eastern suburbs of Ice Rock City.

The bright red flag of thorns creaked in the cold wind, which was the emblem of the Miller family and the new symbol of the half-elf royal family.

Colin frowned slightly, thinking - Queen Elsa won't come in person, right?

Although Elsa would definitely be a big help for Colin, he hoped that the other party could stay in Silvermoon City to raise the baby at ease.

Under the gaze of Colin, a small group of cavalry protruded from the formation of the Silvermoon Guard and quickly rushed towards Ice Rock City.

When they arrived under the Ice Rock City, the city gate just opened, and a team of black cavalry came out.

The half-elf general at the head immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly:

"Dear Viscount Angele, by the order of Her Majesty the Queen, the warriors of the 30,000 Silver Moon Guards are assembled here, at your command!"

"Duke Mordwin, welcome to Ice Rock City!"

Colin was a little surprised when he first saw William Mordwin, but he soon understood the purpose of Queen Elsa's arrangement.

It was indeed a good idea to have this former half-elf prince as the commander of the Silvermoon Guard.

The current middle-level generals of the Silver Moon Guard are basically from the Miller family. Under the circumstance that Queen Elsa is pregnant and cannot come, if another member of the Miller family is appointed as the commander, he may not be wholehearted. follow Colin's orders.

Especially when Colin needs the Silvermoon Guard to make some sacrifices.

The Duke of Mordwin was different.

This is an honest man, and it is easy to manipulate.

What's more, since the middle-level generals of the Silver Moon Guard are all from the Miller family, if Duke Mordwin doesn't want to be put on hold, he must get the support of Colin.

In this way, it is easier for the Silver Moon Guard to be completely controlled by Colin.

Duke Mordwin followed Colin into the city and marched all the way to the Red Fort, and also reported the situation of the reinforcements: "Lord Viscount, this time I brought a total of 30,000 Silver Moon Guards, including 10,000 archers and spearmen. Seven thousand, eight thousand sword and shield soldiers, two thousand shield soldiers, and three thousand light cavalry.

In addition, thirty-eight knights and fifteen rangers came with the army. "

"Well, very good." Colin nodded with satisfaction. With the assistance of the Silver Moon Guard, he is now more confident.

"Three thousand light cavalry will be incorporated into the black cavalry army, and put under the unified command of the Logger knights."

"Yes, my lord!" In the face of Colin's first order, Duke Mordwin answered without the slightest hesitation.

Even if this order is obviously to embezzle the cavalry units of the Silvermoon Guard.

"Are both Her Majesty and Miss Vera okay?"

"Your Majesty is in good health, as for Miss Vera..." Duke Medwin suddenly turned to look at a squire behind him.

Colin also turned his head suspiciously, only to see the attendant slowly taking off his helmet, revealing a beautiful smile——

It's Vera!

"Vera, how do you run..."

Before Colin could finish speaking, Vera threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to her nest.

Feeling the soft touch and the familiar fragrance, Ke Lin smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you are coming to Ice Rock City?"

Vera buried her head in Colin's arms and muttered, "Don't you welcome me here?"

"Of course not." Colin laughed, "The gate of the Red Fort is always open to you!"

Upon seeing this, Duke Mordwin and the others all quietly retreated a certain distance, so that the two lovers who had reunited for a long time thought of each other.
