In the boundless wilderness, a large group of cavalrymen was marching southward.
They were not moving fast, and it seemed that they were not in a hurry.
In the middle of the group, a little girl wearing a black riding suit and a red wide-brimmed hat asked in a crisp voice:
"Teacher, which family is your mother from?"
"The Sangus family."
"What about your grandmother?"
"I think it's the Billy family."
"What about your great-grandmother?"
"The Rick family …"
"What about your great-great-grandmother?"
Colin glanced at Princess Judy beside him and said somewhat speechlessly: "I don't remember."
He actually understood why Princess Judy had suddenly started a "background check" —
Of course, it was because he had advanced to the sixth grade.
In this world where strength was closely related to bloodline, the bloodline of a sixth grade Knight would naturally receive a lot of attention. A bloodline that could give birth to a sixth grade Knight was definitely a top bloodline.
After all, there were only seven bloodlines that could give birth to a seventh grade Paladin.
The Angele family was obviously not a top bloodline, which was why Princess Judy was concerned about Colin's maternal bloodline.
However, Sangus, Billy, Rick … Princess Judy had never heard of these families before. They were clearly unknown small nobles, and had nothing to do with top bloodlines.
Princess Judy's lively big eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly had a bold guess about her teacher's background.
But she did not dare to say this guess out loud.
But if she did not say it out loud, the little girl would feel uncomfortable.
As her eyes wandered, she happened to meet Prince Harrison's gaze.
The brother and sister seemed to have telepathy, and instantly understood each other's meaning, and immediately smiled knowingly.
This little action naturally could not escape Colin's eyes, but he did not explain anything. Misunderstanding that he was the illegitimate son of some great noble in Graycastle was better than revealing the secret of the vampires.
Colin was somewhat curious about whether his increased strength by drinking the blood of high-grade Paladins would affect the bloodline of his descendants.
If one day he successfully advanced to the Sanctuary-realm, would a new Paladin family be born?
As for whether he could advance to the Sanctuary-realm, Colin did not have any doubts.
He was very confident in his "vampire cheat". As long as he could get his hands on the fresh blood of a holy knight, Colin was very confident that he would be able to step into the holy realm.
However, if such a day really came, then the people of this world would probably think that he was the illegitimate son of a Holy Knight family member.
He wondered if there would be a melodramatic farce of them acknowledging their ancestors.
While he was lost in his thoughts, a messenger came back from the front and reported to Colin, "Sir, I'm sorry.
"Your Lordship, White Dew City is just ahead!"
Hearing this, Colin immediately looked up and saw a small white dot appear on the horizon.
"Knight Andy, it's your turn!"
Knight Andy, who was called out by Colin, immediately bowed and said with a flattering smile, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll open the door for you!"
Ever since he learned that Colin had become a knight of the sixth step, the attitude of this emissary from the San Lorenzo family changed completely.
He probably thought that Colin was a descendant of some Paladin family that had been left behind.
And judging from the age when Colin became a knight of the sixth step, it was not impossible for him to advance to the holy realm one day with such a terrible talent.
Therefore, it was understandable that Knight Andy would be so respectful after being arrogant.
"Teacher, we won't fight in White Dew City this time, right?" Princess Judy asked crisply.
Colin gave a playful smile and said,
"Of course not. After all, His Majesty's war order has been sent. "
…
On the city wall of White Dew City.
In the face of the approaching Bloody Cavalry, the defenders in the city certainly did not dare to take it lightly.
The Pegasus Legion and the private army of the lords recruited by the Duke of Saint Prospero all gathered their elites and waited on the city wall. At the same time, a large number of reserves began to gather on the streets of the city.
Last time when the Bloody Cavalry arrived, the Duke of Saint Prospero opened the city gate in order to lure the enemy in. He tried to cooperate with the enemy from the inside and outside and besiege the Bloody Cavalry in White Dew City.
But it was a pity that this trick failed.
Not only did it fail to trap the Bloody Cavalry, but it also cost the life of the Duke of Saint Prospero. It could be said that this strategy was a failure.
Therefore, this time, it became the consensus of everyone to defend the city to the death.
"Earl Nicole, do you think the Bloody Cavalry will storm the city?"
Hearing the question of a noble behind him, Earl Nicole's old face was slightly pale, but he still pretended to be calm and said,
"Don't worry, it's common sense that cavalry is not good at attacking the city. As long as we firmly guard the city gate and don't let the Bloody Cavalry enter the city, no matter how crafty Colin Angele is, he can't do anything."
Hearing this, the nobles of the Eastern Region all agreed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
But Earl Nicole did not feel relaxed at all.
In fact, the old earl only felt sad at this moment.
Although they had the absolute advantage in numbers, none of the nobles of the Eastern Region dared to propose to go out of the city to fight.
In fact, even if someone proposed to go out of the city to fight, Earl Nicole would have rejected it. But he still hoped to hear such voices, at least it would prove that the courage of the nobles of the Eastern Region was not completely wiped out.
However, the fact was that only 20,000 Bloody Cavalry blocked the nobles of the Eastern Region in White Dew City, and they did not dare to come out.
This was simply a great shame!
"My Lord, the other side sent a messenger, should we bring him up?"
Earl Nicole woke up from his thoughts and saw that the cavalry on the opposite side had separated from the main force and was heading to White Dew City.
"Put down the basket and pull him up. I'd like to see what the people of the Northern Frontier have to say. "
After a while, Knight Andy was brought to Earl Nicole.
"Knight Andy?" Earl Nicole was knowledgeable and recognized the knight of the San Lorenzo family.
Then, without waiting for Knight Andy to reply, Earl Nicole immediately realized and said, "You are the messenger of the royal family, right? His Majesty's war order has arrived, right? "
"Yes, Earl Nicole, I brought the war order personally signed by His Majesty, and it has been successfully passed by the Senate!" Knight Andy waved the letter, but did not intend to hand it to Earl Nicole. He just asked in a reserved manner, "I need to send the war order to White Dew Castle, please excuse me."
"Of course, of course!" Earl Nicole's old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, because he knew that once His Majesty's war order arrived, the war between the lords of the empire had to stop.
So, he immediately called his guards and asked them to escort Knight Andy to White Dew Castle.
Before Knight Andy left, he did not forget to point outside the city and said, "Earl Angele from the Northern Frontier is outside the city, remember to send someone to welcome him."
Earl Nicole frowned again, looking at the cavalry army slowly approaching outside the city, and fell into silence.
The nobles of the Eastern Region around him were still immersed in the excitement of the war order smoothly arriving at White Dew City, and seemed to have forgotten that there was a terrifying army outside the city.
Earl Nicole said to his adjutant, "Since Knight Andy came from the Bloody Cavalry, then Colin Angele must have seen His Majesty's war order. If he does not want to become a public enemy of the empire, then he will not start a war.
How about this, you send a messenger out of the city to test the other side's attitude. "
"My Lord, who should I send?"
Earl Nicole suddenly hesitated. He glanced at the nobles of the Eastern Region in front of him, and his frown deepened.
"I'll go."
Just as Earl Nicole was at his wits' end, Beatrice appeared at the top of the city wall.
Count Nicol breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Knight Beatrice, it's best if you are willing to go!"
