"How did he die?"
Although Colin had already guessed this possibility, he still couldn't help but be greatly shocked when the news really came out from Ajani's mouth.
"Prince Rhy killed him." Akani stared into Colin's eyes, as if trying to find something. "This morning, in the Dwarf army's camp outside the city."
As expected!
Collin looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was in a state of shock.
Prince Rhy!
A Holy Knight at his peak was indeed terrifying. He entered an army of tens of thousands and killed a level 6 Wizard as easily as crushing an ant.
No wonder Emperor Reinhardt was so wary of this Prince, to the extent that he was willing to betray his wife's family to obtain a bargaining chip that could keep him in check.
However, Prince Rhy's response was domineering. He found Mr. Rhy and killed him without hesitation.
This was probably a warning to Emperor Reinhardt.
However, to the House of Saint Hilde, Prince Rhy was a great help.
With Mr. Rhy dead, the Northern Frontier could no longer be overturned.
Apart from Mr. Rhy, the House of Saint Theon did not have any other outstanding figures. With the fall of this pillar, even if there were still some powerful figures, they would probably be so scared that they would go into hiding, not daring to show their faces again.
Without the House of Saint Theon, the rebellion at the Northern Frontier would lose its source.
Even though the Dawson and Menham families were still entrenched outside Winter Castle, they could no longer shake the foundations of the House of Saint Hilde.
The Dukes of the Empire's four territories were all from Holy Knight families. There had never been an exception.
If the Dwarves wanted to be an exception, their fate would be extremely miserable.
They were now thinking of how to persuade the House of Saint Hilde to allow the Dwarves to establish their own country.
It was no wonder that the Dwarven messenger, Count Anca, was so humble. Moreover, Colin was even more certain that even if they didn't come to an agreement, the Dwarves would send another messenger.
The initiative was now back in the hands of the House of Saint Hilde.
"Viscount Angley, what are you thinking about?"
Colin came back to his senses and saw that Adjiani was looking at him with bright eyes, her deep blue eyes full of probing.
"I'm thinking about how to deal with the remaining rebels."
"Have you made up your mind?"
Colin smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, how do you think we should deal with those dwarven rebels?"
Akani's expression was indifferent, a dreamy color floating in her beautiful big eyes. She piously said:
"The God of Light appreciates forgiveness, but he also values punishment. Forgiveness earns praise, punishment earns awe. "
Colin smiled, understanding Akani's meaning.
In fact, this archbishop had been encouraging the House of Saint Hilde to fight to the death with the dwarven army from the very beginning.
When Earl Oman controlled Winter Castle, she had the same attitude.
"Do you have some grudges with the dwarves?" Colin asked with a smile.
Ajani shook her head and said, "I have no prejudice against dwarves. However, I do not wish to see the establishment of the Dwarven Kingdom. "
"Oh? Why? "
Akani did not answer directly this time, but asked, "Your Excellency Viscounts, are you willing to see the dwarves establish an independent kingdom on the Northern Frontier?"
"Of course I am not willing, because this is the Northern Frontier!
Whether it is as the lord of the Northern Frontier or as Vera's husband, I have reasons to oppose any attempt to divide the Northern Frontier.
But, what is your reason? "
In the face of Colin's doubts, Akani's eyes flashed and she said softly, "As the archbishop of the Northern Frontier diocese, I certainly do not wish to see the Northern Frontier divided."
"I see." Colin nodded slowly, understanding Akani's motive. "Then we are allies!"
"Of course." Akani nodded, once again blooming with a perfect smile.
Colin's mouth was dry, but he quickly calmed himself down and maintained his vigilance. He asked again, "What's the matter?
He asked again, "Then, as an ally, should I also do my part to prevent the dwarves from establishing an independent kingdom?"
The smile on Akani's face became even more brilliant, coupled with the strong holy aura around her body, she appeared even more charming. "Your Excellency Viscounts, how do you want me to do my part?"
Colin took a deep breath, his nose filled with the strong scent of a mature woman.
"You were able to find out about Prince Leahy killing Mister Roland so quickly because you have spies in the dwarven army, right?"
Akani was slightly stunned, but she quickly regained her composure and said lightly, "The God of Light has loyal believers in every corner of the world!"
This should be considered as an admission.
However, Colin was indeed quite impressed by the Church of Light's ability to gather information. He had experienced it once in Icestone City because of Vera. He did not expect that they would also have fanatics in the dwarven army who would inform the church.
This pervasive method of infiltration was indeed unsolvable.
Especially among the dwarves, this was even more rare.
Although the dwarves had always believed in the God of Light, the God of Light had not given them the glory they deserved — they could not be baptized into knights.
Therefore, the proportion of fanatics among the dwarves was definitely not high.
But even so, the dwarven army outside the city was like taking off their clothes in front of the church, with no secrets to speak of.
"I need to borrow this' loyal believer 'of yours." Colin suggested with a smile.
Akani looked hesitant and said, "What do you want to do? You must know that this believer has already taken a great risk in order to pass on information to the church. I cannot let him be sacrificed so casually. "
It was not that he could not be sacrificed, but that he could not be sacrificed "casually."
Colin understood what she meant.
She was worried that his method was not reliable.
"Please rest assured, of course I will not let a loyal believer of the God of Light die."
"Then what is your plan?"
Colin smiled and suddenly leaned close to Akani's ear.
The beautiful archbishop was shocked. Just as she was about to back away, she heard Colin whispering in her ear, and immediately froze on the spot.
However, her small and delicate ears were turning pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Colin laughed coldly in his heart — Who asked you to keep provoking me, now it's my turn to fight back!
Moreover, this archbishop who had always maintained a pure and pious attitude was not really as calm as still water, without a trace of mortal desires.
After explaining his plan, Colin once again pulled away from the two of them, and gave the rosy Akani what he thought was the most gentlemanly smile.
But in Akani's eyes, this smile was especially hateful.
Akani seemed to be angry at her loss of composure just now, and glared fiercely at Colin.
However, she didn't know how alluring this glance was.
"How confident are you that you can succeed?"
Colin crossed his arms and smiled confidently, "Since I dare to make such a suggestion, I naturally have enough confidence. Your Excellency Archbishop, do you not have confidence in me? "
Akani stared at Colin for a moment, and finally nodded, "Of course I have confidence in you."
"Good!" Colin stretched out his hand, "To a happy cooperation!"
"To a happy cooperation." Akani did not hesitate, and stretched out her hand to shake Colin's.
The warm and soft touch made Colin's heart beat faster.
Unfortunately, Akani only shook Colin's hand lightly, and then immediately withdrew her delicate hand.
Colin was disappointed, and when he saw that the other party was about to turn and leave, he opened his mouth again, "By the way, Your Excellency Archbishop, the Duke's body has been delayed for too long, Vera and I hope that you can hold his funeral as soon as possible."
Akani immediately stopped in her tracks, her large blue eyes staring at Colin once more.
When the Duke's body had just entered the city, she had already felt that something was wrong.
Moreover, she had also heard from Earl Oman that the Duke's body had been swapped, so Colin's intention was very obvious.
This was because he was worried that the problem with the body would be discovered, and he wanted to bury the body as soon as possible, so that the news of the Duke's death could be concluded.
Colin did not seem to be guilty, and looked at Akani openly, as if he did not have any selfish motives, and only hoped that the Duke Of St. Hilde could be buried as soon as possible.
Finally, a smile bloomed on Akani's pretty face again, and she nodded.
"Good. After dealing with the dwarf rebels, I will hold the funeral for the Duke Of St. Hilde. "
