Knight Robert was embarrassed.
He was used to the way nobles communicated with each other politely even if they wanted to strangle each other to death. Therefore, he did not know how to respond to Colin's straightforwardness.
Colin obviously did not care about the feelings of a knight from the East. He immediately waved his hand and said:
"Well, you can bring my request back to Skylark City. If the Fiennes feel that it is not suitable, then there is no need to see them."
"Alright, Count Angele. I'll pass on your message." Knight Robert bowed and left the room.
After he left, Colin called the messenger and said: "Tomorrow, stop outside Skylark City."
"Yes!"
"Master, are we really not going to Skylark City?" Princess Judy suddenly asked.
"Why? You want to go to Skylark City? "
"Yes." Princess Judy opened her eyes wide and nodded, "I heard from my mother that it is a city full of singing skylarks. It is so fun!"
Colin smiled and shook his head: "But even if you go to the city now, you will not see any singing skylarks."
"Why?"
"Because skylarks sing to seek a mate. It is winter now, not breeding season."
"I see …" The light in Princess Judy's eyes instantly dimmed, and she lowered her head in disappointment.
Colin touched the girl's hair to comfort her. At the same time, he suddenly thought that skylarks seemed to be a migratory bird. Then when winter came, where would they migrate to?
Would it be further east — the Shining Moon Forest?
… …
Although they had already left the Alcis Mountains, they still had to pass through a hilly area. The warhorses could not gallop, so the speed of the march was naturally not fast.
Colin asked the guide and learned that they should be able to reach Skylark City before dark.
This kind of long-distance march was very boring, and because it was winter, everything was bleak and the beasts were extinct. There was not even a scenery to see.
Princess Judy was bored and began to pester Colin to tell her stories.
Colin had no choice but to think of a story to use to entertain the little girl.
However, Colin did not care about whether it was not suitable for children and began to choose a historical story.
"Today, I will tell you the story of Jing Ke assassinating the king of Qin …"
"Jing Ke? Qin Wang? What a strange name. "
"Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, I'm listening!"
"Speaking of which, in the far east …"
Buzz —
Colin suddenly paused. He raised his head and saw a huge arrow drawing a ferocious arc in the air, heading straight for him.
"Assassin!"
"Protect the Count!"
"Get out of the way!"
Colin reached out with his left and right hands, grabbing Prince Harrison and Princess Judy in each hand. Then, he quickly jumped off the warhorse.
Boom!
A wave of hot air surged over, and Colin hurriedly protected the two little guys in his arms.
At the same time, he was bewildered. How could it explode?
When he turned around, he saw a patch of green flames burning crazily at his original position. In an instant, his warhorse was completely devoured.
"Wildfire!"
Colin immediately recognized the item that had left a deep impression on him.
"Count, are you alright?"
A group of guards swarmed over and immediately used their own bodies to surround Colin, forming three layers on the inside and three layers on the outside.
Colin couldn't hide his anger and immediately ordered, "The enemy is nearby, find them!"
"Yes!"
While speaking, a series of buzzing sounds came from the air again.
Colin raised his head and saw several huge arrows shooting straight at him.
This time, he saw clearly that those arrows were obviously shot by the ballistae used to defend the city, and there were several clay pots hanging on the tails of the arrows. Without thinking, he knew that there must be Wildfire in them.
"They are there!"
Colin pointed at a hill not far away, while pulling out his sword and throwing it at the nearest arrow.
Boom!
The arrow was smashed in the air, and the Wildfire exploded like fireworks in front of Colin.
At this moment, the Bloody Cavalry immediately took action. The fastest armored man had already stuck to the cliff like a spider and was quickly climbing up.
The rest were divided into three groups. One group stayed to protect Colin, Prince Harrison, and Princess Judy, another group surrounded the hill where the assassins were, and the last group of professionals rushed up the hill.
…
"Sir Robert, let's retreat!"
"Retreat my ass!" Knight Robert shouted while fiddling with the ballistae, "It's the Bloody Cavalry down there. We can't escape. The only thing we can do now is to kill Colin Angele before we die!"
As soon as Knight Robert finished his words, he heard a scream.
When he turned around, he saw one of the soldiers beside him clutching his neck.
Knight Robert was about to ask, but he saw the soldier's head slide down.
This horrifying scene sent chills down everyone's spines.
Before they could recover from their shock, they saw an armored man climb out of the cliff in a strange posture. After landing on the ground, the armored man rushed forward without hesitation.
And right after him, more people from the Northern Frontier climbed out of the cliff.
Knight Robert saw this and roared. He pulled out his long sword and rushed forward. Clang!
Clang!
With only two strikes, Knight Robert's hand was cut off by the armored man.
The gap was too big!
Knight Robert endured the severe pain and rolled back awkwardly to avoid the attack of the armored man.
The armored man didn't seem to care about Knight Robert. Instead, he rushed straight to the five ballistae on the hill.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! The five ballistae were all destroyed in a burst of wood chips.
At this moment, the people from the Eastern Frontier knew that they had lost, so they hurriedly ran down the hill.
However, the Bloody Cavalry soldiers at the foot of the hill had also rushed up.
Unable to advance or retreat, the people from the Eastern Frontier had to launch a desperate attack on the armored men under the leadership of Knight Robert.
But how could they be a match for these blood thralls? They were quickly cleaned up as if they were vegetables.
Only Knight Robert was still alive, and he was kept alive for interrogation.
…
"Knight Robert, is this the hospitality that the Fiennes prepared for me?"
"Bah!" Knight Robert was covered in blood, but he still spat at Colin with a ferocious expression. "Colin Angelo, you slaughtered my soldiers from the Eastern Frontier and imprisoned the Viscounts of Fiennes. I only hate myself for being incompetent and not being able to kill you!
However, this has nothing to do with the Fiennes. It was just my idea! "
"Nothing to do with it?" Colin sneered and pointed at the remains of the ballistae that were moved down from the mountain. "Don't tell me that you stole these ballistae too?"
"That's right!"
"Do you take me for a fool?"
Colin completely lost interest in him. He waved his hand at the attendant and said, "Kill them. Collect their heads later and pile them up outside Skylark City!"
"Yes!"
