Chapter 14 Planning
Chapter 14 Plan
This time Colin reported his real name.
Because he knew that the people in front of him were not the mud legs of the Firefox Mercenary Group, and the probability of being exposed using the false identity of "Kan Su Duo".
Moreover, he didn't know who was going to kill him before.
Now, since he had guessed who the murderer was, there was no need to hide and observe anymore.
All he wants to do is one - revenge!
"Angre?" The female mage frowned her beautiful thin eyebrows, as if she had heard of this surname, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Lord of Greycastle Town, Baron Angeles, Roaring White Bear." Knight Blis, who was beside him, reminded him.
"Yes, it's my father."
Colin held his chest with his left hand and half bowed, performing a standard aristocratic ceremony.
The female mage hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bent her knees, pressed her lower abdomen with her right hand, and held the hem of the mage's robe with her left hand, and gave a bow.
really!
Colin's heart moved. This female mage was really a nobleman.
Hehe, the mage among the nobles.
This is really interesting.
Moreover, looking at the respectful attitude of Knight Bliss next to him and the attitude of guarding him all the way, this female mage may have a close relationship with the St. Heard family!
However, Collin did not think about delving into her true identity.
Nowadays, the imperial nobles have a cold relationship with the mage council, so this female mage who was born in a noble is naturally an extremely embarrassing existence.
And she has been covering her face and obviously doesn't want others to know her true identity.
Colin came here with Xiaobai's help, hoping to get in touch with the real master of the North, the St. Heard family.
This is the key to his ability to avenge his predecessor and completely get himself out of the crisis.
"I didn't expect that Knight Colin was also in the Jinghu Camp." Bliss looked at Colin expressionlessly, with a hint of scrutiny in his indifferent eyes.
"It's just a chance." Colin responded vaguely, then changed the subject and asked the purpose of the trip. "I'd like to ask, what are we going next?"
"I wonder what advice does the Knights Colin have?" Bliss asked instead of answering.
Although Collin's identity gave him the qualification to join the discussion, this does not mean that he can automatically gain the trust of Bliss and others.
Colin didn't care about Iblis's guard, but picked up a branch and drew a simple map on the ground:
"If I remember correctly, the big city closest to us is Falling Eagle City. It is about four or five days away in the southeast direction. According to the current direction of progress, it should be our destination, right?"
"Yes." Seeing that Collin was so familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, Bliss did not deny it anymore.
Colin smiled slightly, and the branches in his hand kept drawing circles on the dots representing the Eagle Descent: "Then do you think we can hold on to the Eagle Descent?"
Bliss stopped talking.
But Collin still captured a faint sense of disconfidence from his pretended firm eyes.
After escaping along the way, the cavalry squad left by the St. Heard family in Jinghu Camp suffered heavy casualties, but the pursuers behind seemed endless, and they were getting closer and closer.
Obviously, Bliss began to feel that the situation was not good.
"I wonder what Knight Collin has to suggest?" This time the female mage asked.
Colin smiled and drew a big × on the point representing the Eagle Descent and said decisively: "We can't go to Eagle Descent, that's a dead end!"
The female mage frowned, as if she was a little displeased with Colin's assertion.
But the Blis Knight next to him asked, "Then, where do you think we should go?"
Seeing that Blis did not deny his words, Collin immediately understood that Blis should have noticed that a large net around him was quietly forming, and was waiting for them to crash into it.
Since the Eagle Descent City is their most likely escape direction, the trolls will inevitably set up heavy obstacles in that direction.
"Go to the north!" Colin drew a huge arrow on the ground and pointed straight to the north.
"Bei?" The female mage screamed in surprise, "Then aren't we going back again!"
That's right, if you go north, it's the direction of Jinghu Camp.
But Bliss didn't say anything, staring at the simple map on the ground and was stunned.
Colin raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the other party to stay calm, and then explained: "If you also think going north is an impossible option, it just means that the trolls would not expect us to look back."
"But...but isn't that...going into the trap?"
"There is indeed a big net around us, and it is constantly tightening." Colin opened his right palm and clenched it tightly for a moment. "But the weakest part of this net is the north! If we want to break free from the constraints, our best choice is to turn around and go north!"
"And..." Clinton paused, "Marquis Charles' real army should be in the north too."
Knight Bliss's eyes flashed, and he remained silent.
The female mage had no scruples about this, and was not surprised that Colin could guess Marquis Charles's intention to fight, but asked directly: "Do you think Marquis Charles has the hope of defeating the army of trolls?"
Colin spread his hands and shook his head.
He knew nothing about how many troops, how powerful Marquis Charles had, how powerful his combat capability, how capable he was on the spot command... and so on, so how could he guess the result of the battle?
"Whether Marquis Charles wins or loses, it has nothing to do with us. Because, now the first thing we have to do is to break out of the encirclement that the pursuers are weaving.
After jumping out, we can release the whistleblower, find out the news about the Jinghu battlefield, and then make further plans. In that way, there will be more room for maneuver."
The female mage thought about it and felt that what Colin said was also reasonable.
But she has been focusing on arcane research since she was a child and has not received military education. She is also unsure of Colin's bold suggestions, so she had to turn her attention to the Bliss Knight beside her.
Blis pursed his lips and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "I agree."
Clin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although turning around and walking north is indeed the best opportunity to break free from the net, the reason why he really didn't want to continue moving forward was not expressed:
Further ahead is Falling Eagle City, and the biggest suspect in the murder of his predecessor, sister Caitlin, is there!
If it were just Caitlyn's conspiracy, then Colin wasn't too scared.
However, if the Lord of the Eagle Descent City Earl Uman also participates in it, then if he goes by now, he will be truly self-invested.
"Okay! Then we will turn around tomorrow and go north!" Seeing that Bliss also agreed to Collin's plan, the female mage made up her mind.
Then, she returned the kitten in her arms to Colin and asked, "Why call it Xiaobai?"
Colin smiled and took the pure blue shorthair cat: "Does Xiaobai's name sound bad?"
"No, it's just...somewhat unexpected."
"Haha!" Colin smiled and replied meaningfully, "Is it a good thing to always let others guess what they think?"
The female mage also smiled, and her big eyes instantly turned into crescent moons: "It makes sense!"
Chapter completed!
