While the battle outside the city was in full swing, Colin was hiding in the gloomy basement of the Red Fort.
Of course, he wasn't hiding here. The slave rebels outside couldn't scare him.
Let alone scare him, they couldn't even attract Colin's attention.
In the beginning, Colin personally went to the top of the city wall to supervise the battle, but after seeing the slave rebels' "wonderful" siege methods, Colin was no longer interested in watching the battle.
At this time, Colin wasn't alone in the basement. There were nearly a hundred figures standing in front of him.
These figures were uniformly wearing steel masks that covered their faces, only revealing eyes without a trace of human emotion.
These were, of course, the blood slaves that Colin had transformed.
In addition to the Fox Knight and the Monkey Ranger, the newly added 85 horse-masked blood slaves were, of course, professionals selected from the captives of the Sky Horse Legion.
Two fourth grade knights, eight third grade knights, five fourth grade warriors, seventeen third grade warriors, and fifty-three first grade and second grade professionals.
In order to transform so many blood slaves, Colin gritted his teeth until they were sore. He almost developed a psychological shadow over his neck.
But fortunately, the results were remarkable.
At present, it seemed that Colin's blood slave death squad was beginning to take shape.
Colin had high hopes for this blood slave death squad. Their target was the Temple Knights of the Radiance Church.
It was said that the Temple Knights were a terrifying legion composed entirely of knights. Although there were only 3,000 of them, their terrifying fighting strength was enough to make all the legions of the Radiance Empire pale in comparison.
This was also the most powerful military force controlled by the Radiance Church.
Of course, Colin's blood slave death squad couldn't be compared to the Temple Knights in terms of quantity or quality. But there was still a long way to go. Colin believed that one day, his blood slave death squad would become a powerful legion that could contend against the Temple Knights.
Colin's gaze swept across the 87 blood slaves one by one, and finally stopped at the Monkey Ranger. He ordered, "Monkey, go to the Troll Empire."
The Monkey Ranger nodded without a word, and then walked out.
Colin stroked his chin and pointed at a horse-masked knight. He ordered, "You go with them."
The news brought by Charles made Colin worry about the troll army that was about to head south. However, he still wanted to see the situation of the troll empire with his own eyes.
Of course, he definitely couldn't make a trip to the Giant Devil Empire himself at this time, so he could only let the blood slaves do it for him.
After entering Rank Four, Colin discovered that his control over the blood thralls had also increased by a level.
Whatever the blood thrall saw and heard, as long as he willed it, he could see and hear everything at the same time. It was as if he had multiple clones of himself.
Moreover, the distance limit he could control the blood thralls seemed to have disappeared as well.
Before Rank Four, Colin could only give orders to the blood thralls within three to four thousand meters. But after Rank Four, there seemed to be no distance limit.
Back then, he purposely left a blood thrall in Silvermoon City, and then returned to Icestone City himself. When he arrived at Icestone City, he discovered that he could still control the blood thralls that were thousands of kilometers away.
After that, Colin arranged for three more blood thralls to go to Winter City, Fallen Eagle City, and Iron Furnace City respectively to monitor the movements of the House of Saint Hilde, the Oman family, and the Dawson family.
These were all the main characters of the Northern Frontier that was about to begin, so Colin naturally had to pay more attention to them.
After arranging everything, Colin left the basement.
He had just taken a few steps when he met Knight Roger in the corridor.
"Lord Viscounts, the rebellion outside the city has been quelled. Preliminary statistics show that we captured more than twelve thousand slaves this time. Thirty-eight of the Black Cavalry were severely injured in this battle, and three others unfortunately died in battle."
Colin frowned and asked, "These casualties should be caused by the new recruits, right?"
"Yes."
Only then did Colin feel relieved.
Recently, he had ordered Knight Ciel to train a thousand new recruits into the Black Cavalry. Taking advantage of the slave rebellion this time, he could let them see some blood.
However, from the casualties this time, the combat strength of the new recruits still needed to be improved.
However, elite cavalry was definitely not something that could be trained in a short period of time. This kind of thing could not be rushed.
He could only hope that these new recruits could quickly grow under the leadership of the Black Cavalry veterans.
"Mm, treatment and compensation will be carried out as usual. I won't say anything else."
"Yes, my lord." Knight Roger nodded in response, then reported, "My lord, we also encountered a group of guards from the Oman family outside the city. The leader claimed to be your brother-in-law, Knight Valla."
"They're here already?" Colin was slightly surprised.
Calculating the itinerary, Colin estimated that Valla and the others should have set off for Icestone City right after the Winter Veil Festival.
He didn't know if his sister Caitlin really missed him, or if Knight Valla was ordered by Count Oman to come and rope in the Angele family.
"Welcome them into the city. I'll wait for them in the reception hall."
"Yes."
… …
Just as Colin was playing with Whitey, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the hall.
Soon, Caitlin's figure appeared in Colin's line of sight. When she saw Colin, an unconcealable joy appeared on her face. She lifted her skirt with both hands and quickly walked over, hugging her brother in her arms.
"Colin, I heard that you fought with the Eastern Army in Silvermoon City. I was so scared! You're not hurt, are you? "
"I'm fine, sister." Colin patted Caitlin's back a little helplessly.
However, this feeling of being remembered by a family member was pretty good, even if Colin had always been a little estranged from Caitlin.
Breaking free from his sister's embrace, Colin looked at Knight Valla who was walking towards him.
From the memories of his predecessor, he knew that Colin used to have a very good relationship with Valla.
As he was the man who loved his sister dearly, Colin used to love her and her dog, so he was also very close to Knight Valla.
And because of Valla's identity as an illegitimate child, she was looked down upon by the Oman family, but she found a rare warmth in front of her brother and sister in Graycastle. Therefore, after marrying Caitlin, Valla actually spent more time in Graycastle Town than in Fallingeagle City.
It could be said that Knight Valla was basically a knight of the Angele family, except for the fact that she didn't officially swear allegiance to Baron Angele.
It was also because of this that Knight Valla took the initiative to follow Baron Angele to the frontlines when he led the army.
However, after going through so many things, when Knight Valla saw Colin again, other than joy in her eyes, there was also lingering worry and guilt.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment, she didn't know how to greet this Viscount Angley who had a completely different temperament from the past.
Colin still had a smile on his face, as if everything that happened in the past year had already been thrown to the back of his mind. He gave Knight Valla a warm hug and said.
"Valla, I heard from Knight Roger that you gave me a big gift when you just arrived in Icestone City!"
"Lord Viscounts, if you're talking about the battle outside the city, then I really don't dare to claim credit for it. The guards I brought this time at most helped to intercept some rebels, it really can't be considered a big gift. "
"Haha, you're too polite. Also, don't be so formal, call me Colin."
Vhalla looked at Colin's sincere smile and seemed to finally relax. She smiled as well.
"Alright, Colin."
