Half-elf Kingdom, Shadow Canyon.
This canyon was a shame that could never be washed away for the Black Cavalry.
The ambush a year ago had caused most of the essence of the Black Cavalry to be buried here forever.
Today, as the successor of the Black Cavalry, the Blood Cavalry passed by this place again.
This time, even without Colin's special instructions, Knight Roger personally led the vanguard and prepared to check every nook and cranny of the canyon to ensure that the tragedy from the last time would not happen again.
The towering cliffs blocked the sunlight and shrouded the whole canyon in darkness. Unknown weeds and fungi still thrived in such an environment.
Perhaps this was thanks to the tragic battle last year. Countless corpses and large amounts of blood became the best nourishment for these wild plants. In a sense, life was indeed a kind of reincarnation.
The human graveyard was a paradise for plants.
Walking in the canyon, Knight Roger's heart was heavy. The air was still filled with the smell of blood, and his ears seemed to recall the tragic battle that day.
Although Colin had led them to annihilate the Sky Horse Legion in Silvermoon City, which could be regarded as revenge for the dead soldiers of the Black Cavalry, the shame of the Shadow Canyon still lingered in the hearts of every Blood Cavalry soldier.
Knight Roger thought that perhaps one day, the Blood Cavalry would be able to break into the White Dew City and hang the corpse of the Duke of Saint Prospero on the city wall. Only then would the hatred and shame of the past be completely washed away.
Knight Roger was very confident about the arrival of this day.
As Colin's confidant and the commander of the Blood Cavalry, Knight Roger certainly knew some of Colin's plans and ambitions. He also knew about the conflicts between the Northern Frontier and the Eastern Region.
In Knight Roger's view, Colin would sooner or later march into the Eastern Region. Everything he was doing now was to prepare for this.
"Who is it?"
Just when Knight Roger was looking forward to the future, the sound of the sentinel cavalry suddenly came from the front.
Knight Roger's heart tightened. He quickly urged his warhorse to go in the direction of the sound.
"Don't … don't be impulsive! Sirs … sirs, I have no ill intentions! I'm the son of Knight Ron, the mayor of Alfalfa City. My name is Jason Lute, and I'm waiting for Count Angele! "
In the face of the ferocious Bloody Cavalry, Jason was so scared that he could not speak fluently.
However, even after he announced his identity, the spear tip that was flickering with cold light still did not retract.
Just as Jason was about to speak, he saw a knight in bright armor, who was obviously a high-ranking officer, come over.
"How did you know that the Bloody Cavalry would pass by here at this time?" Knight Roger asked coldly.
Due to the recent experience, Knight Roger was now very sensitive to any accidents.
Hearing this, Jason immediately understood the other party's concerns, and quickly explained with a bitter face, "Sir Knight, how can I know the exact whereabouts of the Bloody Cavalry? My father, Knight Ron, told me that Count Angele would come to Silver Moon City soon, so he asked me to wait here.
To tell you the truth, I've been waiting here for more than a month, and now you've finally arrived. "
Only then did Knight Roger feel relieved.
"You come with me." Knight Roger waved to Jason, and then ordered his subordinates, "You guys continue to search the canyon, don't miss any suspicious places!"
"Yes!"
Jason took a deep breath, quickly jumped on his horse, and followed Knight Roger to the other side of the canyon.
The two passed through the canyon, walked for about ten miles, and arrived at the camp of the Bloody Cavalry.
Due to Knight Roger's personal guidance, Jason quickly arrived at the main camp and met Count Angele, whom he had met once before.
"Count Angele, I'm sorry! I'm Jason, the son of Knight Ron Lute, the mayor of Alfalfa City. On behalf of my father, I would like to express the most sincere welcome to you! "
"Lute?" Colin repeated this family name, and finally remembered that it was a prominent family in the half-elf kingdom.
He also remembered that when Alfalfa City was exchanging prisoners with the Eastern Region, he had asked Queen Aisha to appoint a mayor of Alfalfa City to resist the Eastern Region's infiltration of Alfalfa City.
At that time, the mayor chosen by Queen Aisha was the nephew of the former commander of the Silvermoon Guard, the Duke Of Lute, Knight Ron.
"You've been waiting for me here, what's the matter?"
Jason smiled flatteringly and invited, "Lord Count, my father knows that you're about to pass by Alfalfa City, so he specially sent me to welcome you. He's waiting for your arrival in Alfalfa City!"
Colin rolled his eyes, speechless at the shamelessness of the mayor of Alfalfa City.
Shadow Canyon was more than a hundred kilometers away from Alfalfa City, and from here to Silver Moon City, it was obviously to the south, and it wasn't the same road. How could this be called passing by?
"Hehe, it seems that your Lute Family isn't doing well in Alfalfa City." Colin mercilessly exposed Jason.
Jason smiled awkwardly. He also knew that his father's purpose was easy to guess, but at this time, the Lute Family really needed foreign aid. The situation in Alfalfa City was very bad, so he could only smile and say,
"Lord Count, you can rest assured that as long as you lead the Blood Cavalry to Alfalfa City, those rats who only dare to hide in the sewers will definitely run away!"
Colin chuckled.
Of course, he wouldn't have any doubts about this. The so-called Alfalfa Brotherhood supported by the Eastern Region was nothing more than an organization composed of bandits and criminals. Let alone the Blood Cavalry, in front of any regular army, they would flee at the sight of the wind.
But what was the use of that?
Alfalfa City's geographical location was too special. It happened to be at the junction of the Crystal River and the Nu Shui River.
Even if the Blood Cavalry could easily occupy the northwest city, without the support of the navy, they wouldn't dare to rashly cross the river and occupy the other two cities.
Unless the Northern Frontier could control the Nu Shui River and the Crystal River, otherwise, it would be meaningless to march into Alfalfa City.
Moreover, in Colin's view, Alfalfa City was a poisonous fruit thrown out by the Eastern Region. They wanted to tempt the Northern Frontier to swallow it.
But how could Colin be fooled? Before he formed a strong navy, Colin would never choose Alfalfa City as the battlefield for the decisive battle with the Eastern Region.
Therefore, when faced with Jason's expectant eyes, Colin still coldly refused.
"Jason, say sorry to Knight Ron for me. This time, I have an important matter to attend to and need to rush to Silvermoon City as soon as possible. I really can't go to Alfalfa City. If there is a chance next time, I will pay a visit. "
"Lord Count!" When he heard that Colin refused his invitation, Jason immediately became anxious, "You can't just ignore Alfalfa City! Capone, that damned bandit, has already gathered most of the underground forces of Alfalfa City. Our Lute Family is alone and without the support of the army, how can we fight against them!
To tell you the truth, in the past three months, three Knights and two Rangers of the family have died for unknown reasons!
If you don't care, I'm afraid that even father will be killed by those lunatics! "
Faced with Jason's sincere complaints, Colin's expression didn't change at all. He still said coldly,
"I'm sorry, but Alfalfa City is a territory of the half-elf kingdom. As the Count of the Northern Frontier, I have no authority to govern it. If your Lute Family really has difficulties that you can't solve, you can go to Queen Aisha."
"Lord Count, Her Majesty the Queen is also unwilling to send troops to support Alfalfa City!"
"Then I can't do anything." Colin spread out his hands and said to Knight Roger, "Send Knight Jason away."
"Lord Count, Lord Count …"
Jason still wanted to persuade him, but Knight Roger had already forcefully dragged him out.
Colin watched as Jason struggled to be driven out. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment.
Then, he quickly wrote a letter, summoned an attendant, and ordered, "My Lord, I've been waiting for a long time.
He ordered, "Immediately send this letter to Winter City and hand it over to Arnold of the Northern Wind Merchant Association."
"Yes."
Although Colin couldn't march into Alfalfa City now, he wasn't willing to do nothing and let the forces of the Eastern Region wreak havoc there.
