The gates of Frostwinter were tightly shut.
The Golden Lion Legion was waiting outside the city in an orderly manner.
In front of the formation, Colin listened to the messenger's report with an uncertain expression on his face.
"Lord Viscount, Miss Vera, the city has sent word that the Golden Lion Legion is not allowed to enter due to the instability of the current situation and the rising of rebel armies. To ensure the safety of Winter Castle, the city gates cannot be opened for the Golden Lion Legion to enter.
However, Young Master Joyce said that you and Madam can enter the city, but you cannot bring more than a hundred guards with you. "
"Hahaha! What a joke! Since when can the Golden Lion Legion not enter Frostwinter? "
When the messenger heard Colin's sarcasm, he lowered his head and did not say anything.
Colin did not make things difficult for him. He was just a messenger. The situation in the city was obviously under Earl Oman's control.
Along the way, they also found traces of the army. At that time, Colin guessed that it was the army of the Oman family. However, he did not expect them to take control of Frostwinter so easily.
There must be someone in the city who cooperated with him!
"Who is the commander of Frostwinter's City Defense Force?" Colin asked Scholar Dwayne, who was beside him.
"It's Knight Thomas St. Hilde." Scholar Dwayne seemed to know what Colin was thinking. After giving a name, he immediately shook his head and said, "Knight Thomas is not biased. Earl Oman was able to take control of Frostwinter so quickly. He must have received help from someone else."
"Who else could have helped him?"
Scholar Dwayne thought for a while and said, "It should be the butler of the House of Saint Hilde, Drinden."
"Butler?" Colin frowned as he thought of the old butler who was dressed in an old-fashioned way and didn't smile at Vera's coming-of-age ceremony. "Why would he side with Joyce? Did the Duke Of St. Hilde give him some orders before he left? "
Scholar Dwayne shook his head and said, "I am not sure if the Duke gave him any orders. However, the reason why I'm guessing that he helped Count Oman is because I know that he is a fanatic. "
"A fanatic?" Colin immediately reacted.
Even though Vera had been baptized in the church before, she had never been baptized and had never publicly acknowledged her faith in the God of Light.
Therefore, in the eyes of the butler, Dudley, she was still a blasphemous mage, a heretic!
At this moment, Colin realized that he had never considered the Church's attitude.
However, he could not be blamed for his lack of consideration. It was not that Scholar Dwayne did not mention it on purpose. It was just that the church had no say in the appointment of the Dukes Of The North.
The Emperor needed the Pope's coronation, but the Duke did not.
The royal family would never allow the church to influence the appointment and dismissal of their vassals.
However, it was clear that the Church would not just stand by and do nothing, especially when such an important title as the Dukes Of The North was about to be inherited by a mage.
"Do you have any good ideas now?" Colin asked Scholar Dwayne.
The current situation was very tricky for Colin. It was impossible to take down a strong city like Winter Castle in a short period of time. The Menham Family and the Dawson Family had joined forces, and the Dwarf Army would soon catch up.
If they did not deal with the Oman family in Winter Castle quickly, the Golden Lion Legion would face the danger of being attacked from both sides.
Scholar Dwayne hesitated for a moment, but he looked seriously into Colin's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Miss Vera can't enter the city!"
Colin was stunned. He felt that Scholar Dwayne was speaking nonsense.
Winter Castle was under the control of Earl Oman, and Vera would be digging her own grave if she entered the city.
However, he immediately realized that the messenger had invited him and Vera, but Scholar Dwayne had only said that Vera could not enter the city alone.
So …
"Are you suggesting that I enter the city?"
"Yes." Scholar Dwayne nodded and added, "If you allow me, I'll accompany you into the city."
Scholar Dwayne wanted to tell Colin that he had no ulterior motives for his suggestion.
In fact, Colin was not worried that Scholar Dwayne would deliberately set him up. At this point, even if Scholar Dwayne betrayed Colin, it would be impossible for him to win Joyce's trust. The power on the other side had already been divided up.
Moreover, Vera and the Golden Lion Legion were outside the city. As long as Joyce still had some sense, he would not do anything to Colin.
"What will happen after we enter the city?" Colin asked.
Scholar Dwayne immediately said, "We'll form an alliance!"
"An alliance?"
"Yes. If Joyce wants to sit on the throne of the Dukes Of The North, his main enemy is the St. Theon family. In the current situation, we can use this opportunity to form an alliance with them. Let's first deal with the Dwarf Army before we make other plans. "
Colin rubbed his chin and thought for a long time before he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow you into the city!"
After that, he turned around and walked to a carriage behind him.
Of course, if he wanted to enter the city, he would have to appease Vera first.
After entering the carriage, Colin told Vera about his and Scholar Dwayne's plan.
Originally, he thought that Vera would definitely object and he had already prepared some arguments in advance. However, he did not expect that Vera would not reject Colin's proposal this time even though she was worried and reluctant.
"Okay, then you can go. If anything happens to you in the city, I will take revenge for you even if I have to destroy the city and make the House of Saint Hilde lose the Northern Frontier! "
After going through so many things, the naive girl had gradually become more mature.
Colin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. Now that we have the St. Theon family outside, the people in the city will not provoke us if they are not stupid."
Vera nodded gently and helped Colin to adjust the collar of his shirt. She then said emotionally, "Colin, you have done so much for the Northern Frontier. How can I thank you?"
You becoming one of the Dukes Of The North is the best way to thank me!
Of course, Colin wouldn't say this out loud. That would be too much of a killjoy.
Looking at Vera's watery eyes, Colin chuckled and hugged her in his arms. He then said softly, "Marrying me is the best way to thank me!"
Correct answer!
Vera smiled sweetly, stood on her tiptoes, and gave her beloved man a kiss.
After a moment of intimacy, Colin left the carriage.
After that, he looked for Knight Cambenin and gave him some instructions.
"Stay outside the city and pay attention to the movements of the dwarven army. If the enemy approaches, just hold your position and don't fight easily.
In addition, after I enter the city, I will send someone to deliver a message every day. If we do not receive any message, then it means that we have met with an accident inside. You will follow Vera's orders when the time comes. "
"Yes, Sir Viscounts!"
After giving instructions to Knight Cambenin, Colin turned to the dazed Wizard Kusius and asked him.
"Mr. Kusius, have you been to the Winter City before?"
"I have been here before." Kusius nodded and then shook his head. "But I have never been to the Lion's Roar Fortress."
Colin laughed and invited him, "Now there is a good opportunity. Would you like to accompany me?"
Wizard Kusius rolled his eyes and hesitated for a moment. But in the end, he nodded and said, "It would be my pleasure!"
Colin didn't want to let this mage, who was a friend or foe, stay outside the city. What if he caused some trouble around Vera? So, it was better to bring him into the city.
Finally, Colin said a few more words to Knight Roger and then led a hundred guards to the Winter City.
With a dull roar, the huge steel city gate slowly opened a small gap for one person to pass through.
Colin shook his head with a smile. The other party was really cautious.
He collected his thoughts and immediately strode forward, taking the lead into the city.
After entering the city, the first thing Colin saw was Earl Oman standing in front of him.
After a year, Earl Oman looked much older, but his back was still straight and his eyes were still sharp, like a warrior who was unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat.
"Viscount Angley, welcome to the Winter City!"
"Earl Oman, long time no see!" Colin smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with him, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"By the way, why don't I see Miss Vera?" Oman looked behind Colin and pretended to ask.
"She is unwell and can't come. I'm sorry." Colin casually made up a reason, and then changed the topic. "Your Excellency, I have a meeting gift for you."
"Oh?" Earl Oman's eyes flashed. "You are too kind."
Colin smiled and waved behind him. One of the guards came forward and took off his helmet.
When Earl Oman saw the other party's face, he was shocked and his voice trembled. "Wa … Valla?"
"Father." Valla raised her head and exposed half of her face, which was burned beyond recognition by the fire, to the sunlight.
Looking at this distorted face, Earl Oman could not help but tremble. The hatred in his eyes seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop by more than ten degrees.
He stepped forward slowly and hugged his' illegitimate son 'in his arms. "Don't worry, I will avenge you, the Oman family, and the three hundred thousand people of Fallen Eagle City!"
Colin chuckled as he looked at the heartwarming scene of father and son reuniting. He teased, "Count Oman, are you satisfied with this greeting gift?"
Count Aulman let go of Valla and turned to Colin. "Viscount Angele, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future," he said solemnly.
Colin laughed and waved his hand. "I'm just joking. Knight Valla is my brother-in-law after all. It is my duty to save her.
However, I am deeply sorry about the tragedy that happened in Fallen Eagle City. The St. Theon family's actions are really infuriating and infuriating!
Against such inhumane demons, we should work together and chase them out of the Northern Frontier! "
Earl Oman nodded, as if he agreed with Colin's opinion. However, he did not express his opinion verbally. Instead, he made an inviting gesture.
"Viscount Angley, please. Young Master Joisse has been waiting for a long time."
"Alright."
Colin strode forward. The steel gates behind him slowly closed, separating the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.
