The Original Vampire

Fighting is really like tug of war.

Victory or defeat occurs in an instant, and one party may be out of strength for a while and the opponent seizes the opportunity, and then he will be dragged into the abyss of failure step by step.

Marquis Dawson, who was on the north bank of the River Run, saw the situation on the other side, and his eyes seemed to be about to drip blood.

He really couldn't believe that his elite army of 30,000 to 40,000 people on the south bank of the River Run didn't even hold on for half a day under the offensive of the Golden Lion Army.

The dwarf army at this time has been completely disrupted, and the golden lion army inserts a sharp knife into the body of the dwarf army and dismembers it.

Therefore, although the casualties of the dwarves are not heavy, they are already powerless.

The pontoon was already crowded into a crowd. The dwarves on the north bank wanted to go to support, but the dwarves on the south bank kept trying to escape, which caused the pontoon to be almost blocked, and even dwarf soldiers kept being squeezed from the bridge and fell into the river. .

Of course, more dwarven soldiers were squeezed into the water on the beach.

The river of the River Run is already turbulent. If the soldiers who fall into the water are still wearing armor, no matter how good the water is, they will only be drowned.

Gradually, the dwarf soldiers also realized that the defeat was set, and some soldiers began to remove their armor, throw away their weapons, and actively jump into the water, trying to swim across the river.

Escape was the only thought in the hearts of the dwarves at this time.

Therefore, they knew that there was a rushing river behind them, but they had completely lost the courage to fight with the enemy, and would rather risk the danger of being swallowed by the river than face the blade of the enemy.

Marquis Dawson just scolded him, and even wanted to cross the river to preside over the battle himself, but fortunately he was persuaded by the officers around him to come back.

He was panting heavily, his fists clenched, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and he watched as groups of dwarves either took the initiative or were driven down the river.

For a time, the river was full of dwarf soldiers and soldiers. At first glance, they were all undulating heads and waving hands.

The soldiers of the Golden Lion Legion who rushed to the river began to take out their bows and arrows, calmly and ruthlessly shooting the dwarves on the river.

Soon, one after another, densely packed corpses appeared on the river.

Marquis Dawson stared blankly at everything in front of him. The screams and screams around him seemed to have disappeared. At this moment, he seemed to be completely isolated from this battlefield.

The dream of the dwarves for thousands of years,

At this moment, it seems to have left him.

He was not reconciled.

For this dream, he has sacrificed too much...

An excruciating pain caused Marquis Dawson to open his mouth wide. He tried to shout, but when he opened his mouth, it was full of blood.

"Lord Marquis! Lord Marquis!"

The dwarf officers saw blood gushing from Marquis Dawson's mouth, and then fell headfirst, unconscious.

...

In the evening, the rain finally stopped.

The west-sloping sun finally emerged from the dark clouds, and sprinkled the last ray of gorgeous rays on the earth.

The battle on the south bank of the River River has basically ended, the dwarf army has been unable to organize a large-scale resistance, and only a few scattered beasts are still fighting.

The pontoon bridges on both sides of the Puliu River have also been lit by a raging fire at this time.

This fire was set by the dwarves himself, obviously to prevent the Golden Lions from chasing after the victory and chasing them to the north bank through the pontoon.

But in this way, the remnant army on the south bank completely lost hope of escaping, and more and more dwarves began to lay down their weapons and surrender on their knees.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Marquis Dawson was also on the South Bank."

Colin stood on the banks of the river, looking at the dwarves' position on the other side, and said with a little regret.

In fact, in this battle, the Golden Lions have already won a great victory. Although the statistics of the results have not yet come out, Ke Lin estimated that the army of the dwarves that was defeated on the south bank this time probably numbered more than 30,000.

Such a loss can definitely make Marquis Dawson heartbroken.

The goal set before the war has been successfully completed. If the Golden Lion Army withdraws at this time, Marquis Dawson will not dare to chase across the river with ten courage.

But Colin still felt that it was not perfect. After all, he did not catch the guy who betrayed Marquis Garcia and betrayed the Black Cavalry.

Maester Dwayne stood beside Colin, and smiled slightly after hearing his emotion: "Marquis Dawson is not famous for charging into battle. It's not that easy to catch him on the battlefield."

Ke Lin heard the advice in the words of Bachelor Dawn. Obviously, although he personally led the army into the formation before, although it was a great success, it still made Bachelor Dawn worried.

However, Ke Lin didn't explain too much. He couldn't tell Dawn that he had the characteristic of being immortal, and he was protected by a group of blood shadow guards who were not afraid of death. If he really wanted to pose a threat to Ke Lin, I'm afraid only the Sanctuary The strong will do it themselves.

Seeing that Colin didn't speak, Maester Dawn didn't bother too much about this issue. He was a smart man and knew what was too much.

After a moment of silence, Bachelor Dawn spoke again and changed the subject: "Lord Viscount, do you know why Marquis Dawson risked crossing the river to attack us?"

Colin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly became interested: "Why?"

In fact, he had such doubts before.

With the river running through the sky, the party who crossed the river and attacked would be at a natural strategic disadvantage.

This time, the Golden Lion Army was able to completely defeat the elite army of 30,000 dwarves in just half a day.

Therefore, before the two sides faced each other in the running river for more than a month, and constantly sent a small group of troops to test back and forth, but no one was willing to take the initiative to cross the river to attack.

But this time, Marquis Dawson took the initiative.

Of course, the chaos in the Golden Lions camp last night must have been an incentive, but this alone should not have caused Marquis Dawson to make such a risky move.

Maester Dwayne smiled and said, "Lord Viscount, do you know the Thorinch family?"

"Solinqi?" Colin flipped through the memory of his predecessor, but found nothing, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, this shouldn't be a family from the North, right?"

"Of course not. This is not even the family of the Radiance Empire." Bachelor Dawn's eyes were deep, as if passing through a thousand years of time and space, "The Solinqi family was once the royal family of the dwarf kingdom, but it has long since cut off the inheritance."

Dwarf royal family?

Colin moved in his heart and continued to look at Master Dawn, waiting for his explanation.

"Although the Thorinci family has become history, it occupies an extremely important position in the hearts of the dwarves, and even gradually evolved into a spiritual totem in the memory of thousands of years.

even belief.

Therefore, if there is still a Thorinci alive now, as long as he climbs up and shouts, the dwarves will definitely surround him, and it is a matter of course to establish a kingdom and become king.

But just because the Thorrinki family has no descendants, this time the dwarves will face a problem when they try to rebuild their kingdom in the north—

Who will be the dwarf king? "

Hearing this, Colin has probably understood what Bachelor Dawn meant: "So, Marquis Dawson chose to take the initiative to attack because he wanted to rely on his achievements in defeating the Golden Lion Legion to compete for the throne of the Dwarf King?"

"That's right." Bachelor Dwayne nodded, "Actually, in terms of title and power, Marquis of Maynum and Marquis Dawson are almost the same, but Marquis Dawson has a huge stain on his reputation."

Colin nodded, knowing that this stain was obviously the matter that Marquis Dawson betrayed the object of his allegiance - Marquis Garcia.

"Because of this reputational stain, if Marquis Dawson does not have any extraordinary achievements, after the dwarves are established, the throne of the dwarf king must belong to the Marquis of Maynum."

"Oh, it's a pity. Now that he has taken a risk across the river, he has suffered a disastrous defeat. It seems that Marquis Dawson has no hope of competing with Marquis Maynum."

Bachelor Dawn suddenly smiled grimly, "Lord Viscount, I don't think Marquis Dawson will be willing to sit and watch Marquis Maynum ascend to the throne of the Dwarf King."

"Oh why?"

"Because the Dawson family once married a direct daughter of the Thorinci family, after the demise of the Thorinci family, the Dawson family felt that they were the true inheritors of the Dwarf King's bloodline.

This idea has become stronger and stronger as the Thorinch family's status in the hearts of the dwarves has risen, and it has even become a paranoid belief.

It is precisely for this reason that Marquis Dawson even betrays Marquis Garcia, who is deeply affectionate to him, and also creates conditions for the dwarves to build a country.

It is also for this reason that I feel that the Marquis of Dawson will not easily give up the idea of ​​competing with the Marquis of Maynum for the throne of the Dwarf King. "

Colin's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that if Marquis Dawson was really unwilling, then this was definitely an opportunity to take advantage of.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and showed a deep smile at the same time.
