The Original Vampire

In the north at the end of March, the situation was not optimistic.

As the weather is getting warmer, a group of careerists seems to be starting to move.

All the major lords in the northern realm smelled the coming of war, and they all began to gather troops to strengthen the city defense.

Although this spring is coming, the lords should have been actively preparing for spring ploughing, so that the current intensifying famine will not continue to spread.

But it is a pity that the fragile situation in the north makes the lords unable to care about spring farming at all.

Besides, those slaves and commoners starved to death. Of course, the nobles were more concerned about the safety of their territories.

Finally, on the first day of April, a man who claimed to be a descendant of the Saint Theon family officially revealed his identity in Ironforge City, and claimed that it was because of the incompetence of the Duke of Saint Hilde that This unprecedented famine in the north.

Therefore, as a descendant of the Paladin family, he spoke out for the countless people in the north who suffered from famine and asked the Duke of St. Hilde to voluntarily give up the title of Lord of the North, and let the more capable people take on the responsibility of guarding the North. responsibility.

After Mr. Hoo made his public speech, a group of northern nobles headed by Marquis Dawson and Earl of Uman also publicly declared that they demanded Duke St. Hilde be responsible for the famine in the north.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Saint Theon family was silent for three hundred years.

When the major lords in the north were stunned, they also began to think about how to stand in line.

As for the people of the North, with the reputation of the Saint Hilde family for thousands of years, the people of the North will of course not pay attention to the Saint Theon family. In fact, many people have long forgotten this former Paladin family.

However, the famine that has raged for half a year has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the Saint Hilde family in the hearts of the people in the north. Now these dissatisfactions are ignited by the Saint Theon family, and there is a tendency to burn a prairie in an instant.

Countless people from the North who couldn't get enough to eat began to feel that perhaps, it was time to change the owner of the North.

In the face of the public opinion offensive of the Saint Theon family, the Duke of Saint Hilde finally appeared in public.

It was also his first public appearance since his duel with a paladin.

The Lord of the North fought back unceremoniously, refuting the absurd remarks of the Saint Theon family, claiming that they were the culprits of the Northern Rebellion.

At the same time, he declared the lords such as Marquis Dawson and Earl Uman as rebels in the North, and decided to immediately deprive them of their titles and fiefs, and sent the Golden Lion Army to Ironforge City, trying to destroy the dwarves first in the form of a quick knife. rebel forces.

In addition, the Duke of St. Hilde also issued an emergency call-up order, requiring all major lords and major mercenary groups in the north to join the war against rebellion.

For a time, the northern region was surging, and the "Battle of the Liger and Tiger" officially kicked off.

—————————

Just when the north was in chaos, Ke Lin had already led his army to the Snow Mountain Range.

The cold wind is roaring, the snow is falling, and there is absolutely no smell of spring coming.

Going forward, even if they officially entered the territory of the Troll Empire, Ke Lin and others would no longer be able to hide their whereabouts.

Of course, in order to enter the troll empire, there is one last barrier that needs to be crossed.

"Lord Viscount Angele, Your Excellency Charles." A weathered-faced Saint Hilde knight was taken to the temporary command post and bowed to Colin and Charles.

He was wearing a full set of chain mail, with the emblem of the Golden Lion on his chest, a knight's sword and a kite shield on his waist, and a conical helmet in his left hand. Various knife marks and bloodstains on the equipment showed that he recently Just went through a bloody battle.

"Knight Brad, how is the situation in Windroar Castle now?" Charles asked eagerly.

The Wind Roar Castle in his mouth is one of the three military castles given to the Golden Lion Legion by the Troll Empire, and it is also the military castle where Charles served before.

After crossing this military fort, Colin can truly enter the territory of the troll empire.

This Knight of Brad is the commander-in-chief of the garrison guarding Windroar Castle.

"The southward army of the trolls arrived at Windroar Fort 13 days ago and launched an attack on us. The number of opponents was large. Our army defended for a day and finally the trolls captured Windroar Fort.

After the Wind Roar Fort fell, I led the remnants of the army to withdraw and hid in the snow-capped mountains, waiting for support. "

"How many of you are there now?"

"At the time of the withdrawal, there were still more than 500 people, but later they scattered, and now there are only more than 200 people left." Knight Brad looked sad.

Colin of course understood that the so-called "running away" in the other's mouth was actually an escape.

However, it is not surprising that these people became deserters. After all, it is too far from the north, and the reinforcements seem to be out of reach. In addition, most of the garrison are recruits, so it is not uncommon to flee in despair.

"After the trolls captured Fenghuobao, they left?"

"Yes, they only rested for half a day in Wind Roar Castle, and then went south in a hurry."

"En." Colin calculated the time and found that he should have just passed by the army of trolls heading south.

This is actually quite normal. The ice field in the sky is so big, it is normal for two armies to pass by each other, and it is a coincidence with a small probability that they collide head-on.

"What about the other two military fortresses?"

"I saw wolf smoke rising in the direction of the other two military forts two days ago, so it should have been captured by trolls."

Colin nodded, not surprised by this.

The Golden Lions just put so many troops here, obviously they didn't plan to stick to it.

"What's the current situation in Wind Roar Castle, do you know?"

"I know. The trolls didn't leave too many troops to garrison, I estimate there are only about one or two thousand, and the defense is extremely lax. I even tried to sneak to a position less than 100 meters away from the military fort in the middle of the night to observe, but there was no Get the garrison's attention."

"Well, do you have any suggestions on how to attack the Windroar Fort?"

Hearing this question, Knight Brad suddenly laughed.

Charles also smiled, he glanced at Knight Brad, and then explained: "Viscount Angele, in fact, when the troll army first started to mobilize, we realized that Windroar Fortress would definitely fall.

So, to make it easier for a comeback in the future, we fiddled with the walls of the military fort. "

"Oh?" Colin's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "What kind of hands and feet did you do?"

"In the southeast corner of Wind Roar Castle, we have deliberately hollowed out the foundation of a section of the city wall, so now it will collapse as long as it is bumped with a bark a few times!"

"Okay!" Colin excitedly clapped his hands and immediately ordered, "Knight Brad, please bring someone to prepare siege tools. In the early morning tomorrow, when the sun rises, we will launch an attack!"

"Yes!"
