"I'm prepared to take down Silvermoon City. What do you think?"
The Knight of Rego turned around to look at the officers accompanying him. His words almost scared them silly.
"My, my Lord … this isn't good …"
"What's not good about it?" The Knight of Rego glared. His shiny bald head reflected the sunlight, making him look exceptionally ferocious and frightening.
"We only have a thousand people. Can we take it down?" an officer asked cautiously.
The Knight of Rego said disdainfully, "Isn't Silvermoon City famous for surrendering without a fight? Who knows, they might just surrender the moment we attack. "
The officers were speechless for a moment.
If Silvermoon City surrendered without a fight when faced with an army of a thousand people, then the half-elf kingdom might as well disband.
"My Lord, if nothing happened in the city and it's really just because of the wedding and we attack rashly, then wouldn't that be too much of a joke …"
"Yes, yes, yes! My Lord, our brothers have been rushing for a long time. We don't have the strength to attack the city now! "
"My Lord, why don't we send someone back to the Northern Frontier to deliver a letter? If something really happens in Silvermoon City, Lord Duke Of St. Hilde won't sit idly by. "
… …
Hearing that his officers were unanimously against attacking the city, the Knight of Rego immediately snorted unhappily.
However, he wasn't a completely reckless madman. He could still listen to the advice of others.
He nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll set up camp outside the city and rest. We'll pay attention to the movements in the city. If anything happens in the city, we'll immediately charge in!"
"Yes!" The officers instantly heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.
"My Lord, should we send someone to deliver a letter to Chilly Winter City?" an officer reminded.
The Knight of Rego shook his head, "No need. The Viscounts has already made arrangements."
He clearly thought of the carrier pigeon that Colin had asked him to bring back to Icestone City before he set off.
If something really happened to Colin in Silvermoon City and Icestone City couldn't receive the news on time, they would naturally know what to do.
"Yes." The officer was a little puzzled, but he still nodded in response.
Knight Legg turned around and looked at the heavily-guarded Silvermoon City with a worried expression. He sighed and said, "
"Sigh! I hope that the Viscounts will not suffer any grievances in the city. "

"Ah ~ ~ ~ Awesome!!!"
Colin finished the cup of iced deer blood wine in one gulp and moaned comfortably.
"I didn't expect you to like deer blood wine so much." Vera placed her hand on her cheek as she looked at Colin curiously. "Do you need more ice? I can make some more for you."
"There's enough ice. Actually, I learned to drink deer blood from my father. " Colin decisively used his dead father as an excuse, "He said that a real knight should drink blood!"
"Why?"
"Because …" Colin scratched his head and spouted nonsense. "Because blood is the essence of life, and it contains many … beneficial substances."
"So that's how it is. I remember seeing my father drink bear blood when I was young … "Vera suddenly realized that the Angele family's emblem was a white bear. She quickly apologized," Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean that … "
Colin waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm not that sensitive."
In fact, he had wanted to change the emblem for a long time.
Roaring white bear?
At first glance, it was obvious that the Angele family was not elegant at all …
"Then, is the deer blood wine enough for you? Don't you need to eat something else? "
"I don't need it, you can eat."
Currently, Vera was pretending to be dead, so the food that was sent in was naturally only enough for one person. Therefore, Colin gave the food to Vera.
"But I can't eat so much. You should eat some too." Vera pushed the half-eaten plate in front of Colin and persuaded him with a smile.
Colin knew that she meant well. Although he did not need to eat ordinary food, in order to make Vera feel at ease, he obediently stuffed the rest of the food into his stomach.
"Are we going to wait for the army from the Northern Frontier to arrive at Silvermoon City?"
"Yes."
"But the House of Medea has sealed off Silvermoon City. We can't send any news back to Winter City, right?"
"Haha, are they going to seal it off forever?" Colin said disdainfully. "Besides, no news is actually a kind of news."
Vera suddenly realized, "That's right! If father doesn't receive any news of my marriage, he will definitely know that something has happened to Silvermoon City. "
Colin nodded in agreement.
Even though he actually meant something else.
In fact, the current development of Silvermoon City did not really satisfy Colin.
According to the current script, even if the Army of the North arrived at Silvermoon City, the House of Medea would still have a way to secure the throne.
The Miller family would probably become the scapegoat. The crime of killing Vera was enough to make the family disappear from the world completely.
However, this was obviously not in Colin's interest.
First of all, Queen Aisha was also a member of the Miller family. Colin did not want to see his second blood descendant be abolished.
Moreover, Colin did not want the half-elf kingdom to fall into the control of the House of Saint Hilde.
This rich but weak small kingdom had already aroused Colin's greed.
He wanted to control this kingdom personally!
Moreover, Colin now had an excellent chess piece — Queen Aisha.
It would be a waste if he did not make good use of it.
As long as he could control the half-elf kingdom, Colin would not have to worry about the cavalry's military expenses anymore.
"Perhaps, I should encourage a certain ambitious person …" Colin whispered to himself.
"What?" Vera was just about to ask what Colin said when she heard someone knocking on the door.
Colin quickly carried Vera and placed her into the coffin.
Then, he slowly opened the door and let the half-elf female slave Cathy in.
"Sir Viscounts, have you finished your meal?"
"Yes, you can clean up."
"Yes."
Looking at Cathy who was lowering her head to clean up the table, Colin suddenly said, "You should have a way to contact the people outside the palace, right?"
Cathy looked at Colin carefully and hesitated for a moment. However, she did not dare to speak.
"Don't be afraid. We are now in the same boat." Colin smiled.
Then, regardless of whether Cathy believed him or not, he continued speaking.
"I know that the Savoy family wants to regain the half-elf throne. It is indeed a good idea to let Vera die in the palace. The House of Medea is very likely to be abolished under the wrath of the Northern Frontier.
However, the House of Medea is obviously not going to sit still and wait for their doom.
Do you want to know what they are going to do? "
Cathy's hands trembled and there was a flash of hesitation on her face.
After a while, she finally raised her head and looked at Colin.
There was no longer any trace of fear in her eyes. She straightened her chest and it seemed as though she did not want to show her fear in front of Colin.
However, her young and inexperienced face and simple clothes made her seem a little lacking in confidence.
"Sir Viscounts, may I know what news you have received?"
Colin smiled and said, "Why? Have you admitted your identity?"
Cathy pursed her lips and did not speak.
"It's fine if you don't want to admit it. However, I can't give you my news for free. "
"May I know what you want?"
"I want to know if there is an army of the Angele family outside Silvermoon City right now?"
Cathy frowned and said, "I am sorry, sir. Silvermoon City is now in lockdown. We cannot contact the outside world."
"I am not asking you to contact them. I just want you to confirm their existence. Don't tell me that you can't do such a simple thing. "
"Okay." Cathy finally nodded. "Then, what is the bad news you are talking about?"
Colin showed a bright smile and said, "Go and tell Sith that the House of Medea has already imprisoned the messenger of the Eastern Region. I guess they want to use this as a bargaining chip to completely turn to the Northern Frontier.
So, if the Savoy family does not do something quickly, the half-elf throne will most likely still belong to the House of Medea.
And you will be completely eliminated after you lose your value! "
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Cathy suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"This … is this true?" She obviously did not believe Colin.
Colin spread his hands and said, "You can ask Sith to check it out. Don't you have other informants in the palace?"
Cathy left in a hurry with an anxious face.
Vera poked her head out of the coffin and asked curiously, "Colin, you have been imprisoned here all this time. How do you know that the messenger of the Eastern Region has been arrested?"
Colin smiled mysteriously.
"I naturally have my ways to find out."
