"Why are you targeting a small mercenary like him?"
After Sarre left, Vera asked in a mischievous tone.
Obviously, Vera could also see the hostility that Colin had towards Sarre. However, she thought that the two of them were just jealous of each other because of her.
As she thought of this, her small face that was covered by the black veil blushed a little. However, she could not help but feel a little happy in her heart.
A woman always liked to see men fighting for her, even if she did not like any of those men.
"A person who dares to kill his own father is not worthy of my respect," Colin said righteously and he did not hesitate to expose Sarre's background.
"What?" Vera was very surprised.
"Indeed, Sarre is a poisonous snake. We need to be careful," Bliss said. This knight obviously looked down on this filial son who had killed his own father.
"I understand," Vera nodded and she blacklisted this small mercenary who she thought was a little clever.
"Well, let's get back to the main topic."
Vera began to introduce the specific situation that the sentinel knight had found out to Colin.
At this time, they were certain that there were two groups of wolf cavalry that had caught up with them. Each group was about seven to eight hundred people. The total number of wolf cavalry was almost the same as the current number of people on their side.
However, the other party was the most elite wolf cavalry in the troll army. On the other hand, except for the less than a hundred elite cavalrymen, the rest of the wolf cavalry were all defeated soldiers who had escaped from the Mirror Lake Camp.
Moreover, these defeated soldiers were all mercenaries and civilians who had been temporarily recruited by the emergency conscription order.
They were completely a group of motley crew.
Under such circumstances, even Vera who did not have any military knowledge began to panic. Therefore, she quickly looked for Colin to discuss countermeasures.
Colin sighed and made a last effort, "If we abandon the defeated soldiers now, we will still be able to escape with the cavalry."
"Isn't there a better way?" Vera was still unwilling to give up.
In Colin's opinion, the female mage's kindness was misused. He could only persuade her once more.
"I know you don't want to abandon them, but even if we stay, we won't be able to save them. We'll only lose our lives."
Vera did not say anything but the look in her eyes was still as stubborn as ever.
Colin could only turn his head to look at Bliss, hoping that this battle-hardened knight could be more rational.
However, Knight Bliss's eyes were filled with determination. "I was the one who dragged these people into this battle. I've already abandoned them once. I don't want to abandon them a second time."
At this time, Colin finally realized that Bliss had not agreed to accept the defeated soldiers because of Vera's order. Instead, he had agreed to accept the defeated soldiers because he felt guilty.
Although in Colin's opinion, he was only acting on the marquis' orders and could not be considered his fault.
Looking at the determined Knight Bliss, Colin sighed in his heart.
He knew very well that once a determined person like Bliss had made up his mind, it would be very difficult for him to be persuaded by others.
However, Knight Bliss was also very clear that this time, they were really doomed. Therefore, he looked straight into Colin's eyes and pleaded with him in a serious manner.
"Knight Colin, I hope that you can take Miss Vera with you and leave first …"
"No! I will not leave! "Vera refused immediately.
"Miss Vera …"
"I will not leave! These are my people and I have the responsibility to protect them! "
The atmosphere suddenly became emotional …
Colin felt a headache coming on and he felt as though he was watching a melodramatic drama.
However, he was surprised when he heard Vera say the words "my people" in a hurry.
Only a member of the Saint Hilde House would have the right to say something like that, and a direct descendant at that.
However, the Duke Of Saint Hilde did not have a daughter.
Was she an illegitimate daughter?
No.
Colin thought about it again. Although the aristocratic laws in this world were very similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, there were still some differences. In this world, illegitimate children had absolutely no right to inherit.
The aristocrats here were particularly obsessed with the purity of their bloodline.
Even if all the children of the direct line died, the aristocrats would rather choose an heir from the collateral line of the family than pass the title to an illegitimate child.
Therefore, even if Vera was really the illegitimate daughter of the Dukes Of The North, she was not qualified to say the words "my people".
Just as Colin was thinking about Vera's true identity, the argument between the two men in front of him also subsided.
Unsurprisingly, Bliss failed to persuade Vera to leave first.
Although she was a little bit naive, the female mage had indeed shown admirable courage.
There was a moment of silence in the tent.
After a long time, Bliss suddenly spoke.
"Knight Colin, you should leave this place. Presumably, you have already heard from Knight Raymond that your father, Baron Angele, has died in the battle. Therefore, you need to go back and inherit the title. "
Colin suddenly raised his head and looked at Bliss's expressionless face. He asked slightly abruptly, "Why hasn't this news been sent back to the Kingdom of Graycastle?"
Bliss hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth, "Since the end of last year, the Marquis has ordered to block all news from the frontline."
"Why?"
Bliss did not answer.
However, Colin could guess the answer.
It was because the situation at the frontline had taken a turn for the worse since then. Marquis Charles had the motive to block the news, whether it was to protect his face or to prevent the people at the rear from wavering.
However, he probably did not know that such a move had indirectly caused the death of Colin's predecessor.
Charles St. Hilde.
Colin had already secretly bore a grudge against this name.
"Knight Colin, you should go back to the Kingdom of Graycastle first. They need you there …" Vera was obviously hearing the news for the first time. She immediately sympathized with Colin and wanted to persuade him to leave first.
However, Colin put on an impassioned posture and righteously refused.
"I will not leave either! Whether it is to avenge my father or to protect the glory of the human race, I must stay and fight with the trolls! "
Of course, Colin would not leave at this time.
However, it was not because of any high-sounding reasons, but because he did not want to waste the blood of a high-level knight and mage …
"Colin …" Vera's beautiful big eyes were full of splendor. "You are a real knight!"
Even Bliss was moved, as if he suddenly looked at Colin with new eyes.
The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere in the tent was filled with the atmosphere of sacrifice …
Unfortunately, what Vera and Bliss did not know was that Colin was already thinking about how to pretend to be dead …
When the three of them gradually calmed down, they finally began to discuss countermeasures.
Since they had already decided on the principle of "not abandoning, not giving up", then with so many burdens, it was only a matter of time before the wolf cavalry caught up to them.
A battle was inevitable.
Bliss first began to talk about his battle plan, where to meet the enemy, how to build a simple fortification, how to cooperate with the cavalry and infantry, and so on.
Vera listened attentively.
However, only God knew how much this female mage, who lacked military knowledge, understood.
Colin listened absent-mindedly, as if he was thinking about something else.
"Knight Colin, Knight Colin?"
"What?" Colin came back to his senses and saw that the two people opposite him were staring at him.
"Do you have any other opinions about this battle plan?"
Colin did not answer this question. Instead, he said: "Sorry, I was absent-minded just now. I was thinking that maybe we might be able to avoid this battle. "
"Really? How? "Vera asked hopefully.
She did not want to be a martyr unless she had no other choice.
Moreover, the previous successful breakthrough gave her confidence and made her think that Colin might be able to create another miracle.
Colin unhurriedly drew a simple map on the ground with his horsewhip, and then gently pointed at a bend in the river.
"We will hide here!"
