Chapter 19 Countermeasures

"Why are you targeting a small mercenary like this?"

After Sal left, Vera asked in a cramped tone.

Obviously, Vera also saw Collin's hostility towards Thrall, but she thought the two were jealous of her.

Thinking of this, her little face covered by the black veil was a little blushed, but a hint of secret joy appeared in her heart.

Women always like to see men fighting for themselves, and she doesn't like any of those men.

"A person who even dares to kill his own father does not deserve my respect." Collin said righteously, revealing Thal's old truth without hesitation.

"What?" Vera was surprised.

"Indeed, Thrall is a poisonous snake, you need to be careful." Bliss said, and the knight obviously looked down on this filial son who killed his father.

"I understand." Vera nodded and moved the little mercenary who was originally a little clever to the blacklist.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic."

Vera began to introduce the specific situation that the whistle driver found out to Colin.

At this time, it can be confirmed that there are two wolf cavalrymen who have caught up, each with a size of about seven or eight hundred people, and the total number is equivalent to the number of people on our side.

However, the other side was the most elite wolf cavalry in the troll's regular army. Except for the cavalry team with less than 100 people, the rest were all defeated soldiers who escaped from Jinghu Camp.

Moreover, these defeated soldiers were all mercenaries and civilians who were temporarily recruited by emergency conscripts.

It's a total of a mob.

Under such circumstances, even Vera, who had no military knowledge, began to panic, so she quickly asked Colin to discuss countermeasures.

Colin sighed and made his last effort: "Now we leave those defeated soldiers, we only take the cavalry team."

"Is there no better way?" Vera still didn't give up.

In Collin's opinion, the kindness of this female mage was somewhat used in the wrong place, so he had to persuade him again:

"I know you don't want to abandon them, but even if we stay, we can't save them. We will only save our lives."

Vera stopped talking, but her eyes were still stubborn.

Colin had no choice but to turn his head to look at Bliss, hoping that the long-standing knight would be more rational.

However, the eyes of the Knight Bliss were full of determination: "I pulled these people into this battlefield, and I have abandoned them once, and I don't want to abandon them again."

Only then did Colin realize that Bliss did not agree to accept the defeated soldiers because of Vera's order, but because he felt guilty.

Although in Collin's view, he was just acting under the order of the Marquis and could not be considered his fault.

Looking at the resolute Knight Bliss, Colin lamented in his heart.

He knew very well that once a person with a firm will, a firm will be difficult to convince others if he made up his mind.

However, the Knight Bliss knew very well that this time it was really bad, so he looked straight into Collin's eyes and asked seriously:

"Knight Colin, I hope you can take Miss Vera first..."

"No! I won't leave!" Vera immediately refused.

"Miss Vera..."

"I won't leave! These are my people, and I have the responsibility to protect them!"

The atmosphere suddenly became sensational...

Colin felt a headache, as if he was watching a bloody TV series.

However, the words "My people" that Vera said in desperation shocked him.

Because those who are qualified to say such words must be members of the St. Heard family, and must also be members of the direct line.

But Duke St. Heard has no daughter.

Is it an illegitimate daughter?

wrong.

Colin also thought that although the aristocratic laws in this world are very similar to those on the medieval period of the earth, there is still a difference. Here, illegitimate children (daughters) have absolutely no inheritance rights.

The nobles here are particularly obsessed with the purity of bloodline.

Even if the children of the direct line are dead, the nobles would rather choose heirs from the family's sidelines than pass the title to the illegitimate son (daughter).

Therefore, even if Vera is really the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of the North, she is not qualified to say "my people".

Just as Collin was thinking about Vera's true identity, the argument between the two opposite him subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided subsided sub

Unexpectedly, Bliss failed to convince Vera to leave first.

Although some Virgin Mary are also a little stupid, this female mage did show admirable courage.

There was a silence in the tent.

After a long time, Bliss suddenly spoke:

"Knight Collin, you should leave here. You must have learned from the Knight Raymond that your father, Baron Angeles, has died in battle, so you need to go back and inherit the title."

Colin suddenly looked up, looked at Bliss' expressionless face, and asked a little abruptly: "Why has this news never been passed back to Gray Castle?"

Blis hesitated for a moment, but told the truth: "Since the end of last year, the Marquis ordered the blockade of all news on the front line."

"Why?"

Bliss didn't answer.

But Colin can guess the answer.

It is simply that since then, the battle situation on the front has taken a sharp turn. Marquis Charles has the motivation to block the news whether to protect his face or to prevent people from turbulent in the rear.

But he may not know that such a move indirectly killed Colin's predecessor.

Charles St. Heard.

Colin has quietly blacklisted the name.

"Knight Colin, you'd better go back to Gray Castle first, you need you there..." Vera obviously learned the news for the first time, and immediately felt sympathy for Colin, and wanted to persuade the other party to leave first.

But Colin acted in a passionate manner and refused righteously:

"I won't leave either! Whether it's revenge for my father or to protect the glory of the human race, I must stay and fight to the death with the trolls!"

Of course Colin would not leave at this time.

But it is not because of those high-sounding reasons, but because I don’t want to waste the blood of a high-level knight and mage…

"Colin..." Vera's beautiful big eyes were full of colors, "You are a real knight!"

Even Bliss was moved, as if he suddenly looked at Colin with admiration.

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and the tent was filled with the air of generous confession...

Unfortunately, what Vera and Bliss don’t know is that this guy Colin is already considering which position to pretend to be dead…

After the three of them gradually calmed down, they finally began to discuss countermeasures.

Since the principle of "never give up" has been clarified, it is a foregone conclusion that the wolf cavalry is caught up with so many burdens.

A battle is inevitable.

Bliss first began to tell his combat plan, where to face the enemy, how to build simple fortifications, how to cooperate with cavalry and infantry, etc.

Vera listened very attentively.

As for how much this female mage who lacks military common sense understands, only God knows.

But Colin was absent-minded when he heard it, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Knight Colin, Knight Colin?"

"What?" Colin came to his senses and saw the two people staring at him.

"Do you have any comments on this combat plan?"

Instead of answering this question, Colin said carefully: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Because I was thinking, maybe we might escape this battle."

"Really? How to hide?" Vera asked hopefully.

She didn't want to be a martyr unless she had to.

Moreover, the previous successful breakthrough gave her confidence, making her feel that Colin could create another miracle.

Colin calmly drew a simple map on the ground with a horse whip, and then gently tapped it on a river bend:

"We're hiding here!"
