Chapter 665
Chapter 665 Start
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the vast earth.
Colin and his group also came to Dongquan Town before the night fell.
Looking at the town standing by the East Springs River, Colin's eyes were quite emotional.
Because he had been here just a year ago.
At that time, he accompanied Vera back to the northern border from Yulong City, and took a special turn to Dongquan Town.
It was also because of the suggestion of Prime Minister Baron Heidegger that Colin found the former Imperial Minister of Agriculture, Bachelor of Sonny Granto, in the town, and thus kicked off the agricultural reform in the North.
To this day, the northern border was able to recover quickly from famine and even have enough food to support the northern border army's war in the east and west, thanks to the new agricultural and animal husbandry system formed by this reform.
So Colin still has a good impression of the Granto family, the lord of Dongquan Town.
But unfortunately, Baron Grantu unfortunately died in this orc war, and what is even more embarrassing is that the place where he died in the Tianduan Mountains.
Therefore, when Colin revisited the old land, the people of the Grantu family did not give him any good looks.
It was obvious that Baron Granto's death was counted on the northern border.
However, the people of Dongquan Town were still very enthusiastic about Colin, and regarded him as a hero who saved the empire from the fire and water.
When entering the castle, although the conditions were simple, the Grantu family still showed their greatest enthusiasm and welcomed the group of people escorting the body of Emperor Reinhart.
Of course, out of respect for the emperor who died in battle, no one drank at the banquet and it ended very early.
Just after eight o'clock, Colin returned to his residence.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Colin stood by the window, staring at the heavy night color in a daze.
He didn't know where the royal family was going to do it, but it was not far from the Loire Valley to Yulong City, only two or three days away.
The hostility of the Grantu family to Colin in Dongquan Town made him feel that the royal family had a high probability of choosing to take action here.
In addition, he was thinking about why Bachelor Yaruger took the risk of warning himself during the day.
He had never had any friendship with the confidant of the Duke of the Southern Region before, so why did the other party do this?
Could it be that he is the secret son arranged by the St. Heard family in the southern border?
However, one thing was confirmed by this - the Duke of St. Landes has been swept by the royal family and the church.
This is expected.
After all, when the Duke of St. Landes came to him before, Colin clearly rejected the other party's conditions.
But I didn't expect that in order to resolve the threat from the northern border, the royal family could even agree to the conditions for splitting the empire.
Perhaps Fred just pretended to agree to the Duke of St. Landes, and it was not impossible for him to regret it afterwards...
——————————
The night is dark and the silver moon hangs low.
Only the vague sound of owls was heard in the silent castle.
This time, Colin brought three hundred Blood Cavalry soldiers with him, and they set up a simple camp on the west side of the Granto family castle.
A figure carefully approached the camp, found the location of the post, and then touched it like a ghost.
There were two blood cavalry soldiers in the post, covered in bright red armor, motionless, as if they were puppets.
The Johnny Knights knew that these were the elites in the Blood Cavalry and the most powerful armed force in the hands of the Count of Angeles. It is said that these people are all professionals, and they are brave and fearless in their lives and are always at the forefront. No matter how powerful the enemy formation is, they can easily tear open the flaws.
This has been verified on the battlefield of the Loire Valley. Even when facing the most powerful war song legion of the orcs, the Blood Cavalry was not at all at a disadvantage.
To be honest, Johnny Knights admire these North Warriors, but unfortunately...
There is no way, who gave his surname to Saint Lorenzo?
Johnny Knight suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and his eyes slashed!
The next second, a cold light pierced the dark side and penetrated deeply into the back of the Blood Cavalry soldier.
Before he screamed, another big hand hugged his neck like lightning.
A crisp crack sound was the sound of a cervical spine being twisted.
The Johnny Knight was relieved, then turned to look beside him, where his companion had also dealt with another sentry, and was turning to look at the Johnny Knight.
But the next moment, the companion's eyes suddenly became extremely frightened.
While Johnny's Cavalier was puzzled, he suddenly felt a piercing pain.
He lowered his head and was shocked to find that the blood cavalry soldier who was supposed to have died in his arms was still staring at him with scarlet eyes open.
That kind of gaze without any emotion or rationality made the Johnny Knight think he had encountered a beast in the mountains.
How is this possible?
Johnny's Knight could not believe all this until his death.
Before he lost consciousness, he heard a short scream from his companion who was acting together.
Are the Blood Cavalry all immortal monsters?
Unfortunately, Johnny Knights are destined to not get the answer to this question.
After his death, agile figures quickly surrounded the camp of the Blood Cavalry from all directions.
Unfortunately, what awaited them was not the blood cavalry soldiers who had already been sleeping as expected, but the killing machines that were fully armed and prepared.
Accompanied by a short and depressing scream, a fierce battle began under the shadow of night.
...
The city head of Dongquan Town.
The guards did not doze off.
Of course, this is not because they suddenly became the duty of Ke Zhong, but because the guard captain Victor came to the city to inspect.
In the past, this Victor Knight would be drunk every night, and today I don’t know what crazy he was...
The soldiers guessed that the Victor Knight might want to show off in front of those nobles.
But the nobles are resting in the castle, who will know if you are doing your duty outside?
Of course, the Knight Vitor didn't know that the soldiers were full of dissatisfaction and complaints. He patrolled the city with a torch in his hand, paying attention to any movement.
In fact, the reason why he was so diligent today was entirely because Young Master Benson secretly told him that something big would happen tonight and asked him to guard the city gate.
Knight Vitor wanted to know what the so-called big thing was, but Master Benson refused to say it.
If it were the usual, Knight Vitor would not take Master Benson's words seriously. Even if he came to work, he would have to be lazy, but there were so many important guests in the castle today.
The Victor Knight didn't want to embarrass the Granto family, and his intuition told him that something big might really happen tonight.
During the patrol, Knight Vitor suddenly heard a commotion from the city.
He looked at the southwest corner of the castle in confusion, and recruited a soldier and ordered:
"You go there and see what's going on?"
"yes."
As soon as the soldiers left, there was another sound outside the city, like dull footsteps.
Knight Vitor was shocked and rushed to the side of the city wall, holding the torch and looking down.
In the dark night, I can't see anything clearly.
But the footsteps became louder and louder, and even the earth began to tremble slightly.
"alert!"
The Knight Vitor roared, and the next moment, he saw tall figures rushing under the city wall from the night sky.
With the glimmer of light from the torch, he finally saw the ugly and terrifying faces under the city.
The next second, a sharp roar resounded across the city:
"Beast...orcs! They are orcs! Enemy attack!"
