Silvermoon City.
In the basement of Half Elven Palace, Colin looked at Capone kneeling in front of him, his eyes flashing with satisfaction.
As a result, his Blood Shadow Guards now had a second sixth-rank blood slave, which was something worth celebrating.
To be honest, he did have the idea of fighting Capone back then, otherwise he wouldn't have sent blood slave Lucien out of Alfalfa City to get a fifth-rank blood slave. But he didn't expect that Capone was actually hiding his strength.
Unfortunately, due to his overconfidence, Capone had stepped into the trap that Orlando had set for him alone. Furthermore, he had chosen the stupidest way to deal with Lucien. Otherwise, Lucien would not have been able to defeat Capone alone, but he was not confident that he would be able to defeat Capone.
Colin stared at Capone for a long time and suddenly felt that this person might be an important chess piece that the Eastern Region had placed in Alfalfa City.
After all, a sixth-rank warrior wasn't a cabbage. Even the Duke of Saint Prospero couldn't underestimate such a person. After all, the Eastern Region didn't have any Sanctuary experts.
Sixth-Rank was the peak.
It seemed that Alfalfa City really played an extremely important role in the Eastern Region's plan. Otherwise, Capone wouldn't have hidden his strength and wronged himself in such a place.
Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that Orlando might not be able to easily deceive the Eastern Region and replace Capone as the leader of Alfalfa City's underground forces.
However, he didn't care about this now.
Alfalfa City wasn't a strategic point in Colin's plan. Even if the Eastern Region regained control, it wouldn't have a big impact. He was actually able to get a sixth-rank blood slave this time, which was already a big gain.
As for Orlando, it would depend on his own luck. If he could smoothly pass, it would naturally be a surprise for Colin. If not … then he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
In such a hierarchical world, it was extremely difficult for a commoner to become a fish that leaped over the dragon's gate.
Colin wouldn't easily change his strategy or waste his resources for such a thief leader.
In short, Orlando could only rely on himself. Colin hoped that he would be able to see another surprise in the near future.
While he was thinking, Capone had already put on a full set of armor under Colin's instructions, covering himself tightly.
Bang bang.
Colin reached out and patted Capone's helmet twice as he revealed a smug smile.
Now that he had two blood thralls of the sixth step, Colin felt that he could officially consider hunting a knight of the sixth step.
Of course, before that, Colin had to stabilize the Half-Elf Kingdom.
After settling Capone down, Colin left the basement.
The basement led directly to the Queen's study. However, considering that Aisha was about to give birth, Colin did not allow her to work anymore and sent her to rest.
Only Colin's half-elf maid, Cathy Savoy, was in the study.
On this trip to Silver Moon City, Colin had brought Cathy along. It was an opportunity for her to go home and take a look.
However, this half-elf maid did not return to the Savoy family's manor even once after arriving at Silver Moon City, as if she had completely cut off all ties with them.
Seeing Colin walk up from the basement, Cathy hurriedly poured him a cup of coffee and reported at the same time, "Master, Duke Modewin came to look for you just now. Seeing that you were not around, he left behind a handwritten letter."
Colin nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although Queen Aisha had already returned to Silver Moon City, she was about to give birth. Many of the affairs of the Half-Elf Kingdom were still handled by Duke Modewin.
However, Duke Modewin would report to Colin every day.
Obviously, he was very clear about who held the authority of the Half-Elf Kingdom.
Colin sat down in front of the desk, drinking coffee as he flipped through the handwritten letter that Duke Modewin had left behind.
It listed the affairs of the kingdom that had been handled by Duke Modewin. At the same time, he reminded Colin once again that there was a large group of rebels gathered in Silver Moon City, and they were plotting something.
Seeing this, Colin could not help but smile mysteriously.
Duke Modewin had reminded him many times about this rebel force. He had even suggested that they should be arrested before they took action, so as to not disturb the Queen's delivery.
However, Colin had never agreed to it. Instead, he had asked him to be patient and wait patiently.
This time, Colin had indulged these rebel forces so that all the half-elves who were dissatisfied with Queen Aisha would take the initiative to jump out. This way, Colin would be able to capture them all in one fell swoop, so as to prevent any more trouble in the future.
Moreover, with the Blood Cavalry in the city, Colin was not worried that the situation would be out of his control. Even if the Silvermoon Guard were to rebel, Colin was confident that he could forcefully suppress them.
What he was worried about now was whether there would be anyone who had designs on the Queen and the child that was about to be born.
For this reason, Colin had already replaced all the guards in Queen Aisha's chamber with the Blood Shadow Guards.
With the current combat power of the Blood Shadow Guards, unless a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm appeared or an army of tens of thousands charged into the Half-Elven Palace, no one would be able to get close to Queen Aisha.
The only thing he had to be wary of were the doctors and maids who were attending to Queen Aisha's delivery.
However, these doctors and maids were personally selected by Aisha, so there should be no problem in terms of loyalty.
At the thought of this, Colin put down the letter, and was about to leave the study when he saw Cathy still standing there with her hands behind her back. She looked like she wanted to say something, but was hesitating.
"Cathy, is there anything else?"
"Master, there's something I need to report to you."
"Speak."
Cathy carefully lifted her head to look at Colin, and said softly, "Master, Baron Savoy sent someone to contact me yesterday."
Colin knew that the Baron Cathy was talking about should be her cousin. Back when Cathy had helped Colin lure the Sky Horse Army to attack Silvermoon City, Colin had promised to give the Savoy family the title of baron after the deed was done.
However, Cathy herself would rather be Colin's maid than become a baron of the half-elven kingdom. Hence, the title of baron fell to her cousin.
"Why did he look for you?" Colin asked with a smile, as if he had realized something.
"He …" Cathy hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly, "He was asking me about the doctor who attended to Her Majesty's delivery."
Colin's eyes narrowed.
Seeing this, Cathy hurriedly explained, "Master, don't worry. I didn't tell him anything."
Colin nodded with satisfaction, "You did well. However, I suggest that you make a trip back to the Savoy family. If Baron Savoy asks again, tell him the identity of the doctor who attended to the delivery. "
"But … But …" Cathy was dumbfounded, and stuttered, not knowing what to do.
Colin smiled as he walked to Cathy, patted her shoulder, and said gently, "Just do what you need to do.
"Don't worry, just do it. I've already arranged everything. Actually, I'm also very curious. What kind of tricks are those people up to? "
"Yes, master." Cathy nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but reveal a tinge of sadness.
Colin understood that Cathy was worried about her family, so he comforted her, "You've been with me for so long, you should know that I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Hence, the Savoy family won't be cut off.
On the contrary, after getting rid of the rotten branches, your family will be able to develop even better. "
"Master, I understand!" Cathy was relieved. She nodded and left.
Colin looked at her retreating figure and smiled as he muttered to himself, "I've given you a chance.
"I've given you a chance, but don't let me down!"
