The Troll messengers stayed in Icestone City for a day before continuing their journey to Winter City.
Colin also set off with them.
This time, he only brought Knight Legg and a hundred guards with him to Frostwinter Castle.
He left Knight Xiaer and Knight Raymond in Icestone City to continue training the troops.
He also left the affairs of the territory to Eamon and Quincy.
Originally, her sister Caitlin had wanted to come along as well, but when she heard that there was finally news of her long-lost husband, she ran off to Fallen Eagle City.
Colin didn't stop her.
He wasn't sure if his sister was involved in the plot to kill him back then.
So, he let her be.
Anyway, he would settle the score with the Oman family sooner or later.
He didn't have enough evidence and power.
However, he already had an excellent chess piece. When the time was right, he would take revenge for what happened back then.
And this chess piece, Blood Slave Cynthia, had also been brought out by Colin this time.
She was tailing the troops from a thousand meters away.
Colin realized that the furthest he could give orders to the Blood Slave was 3,000 meters away. Any further and he would lose contact.
On the way to Winter City, the Troll Prince often approached Colin with a warm attitude.
However, Colin's attitude was perfunctory.
Firstly, he felt that the Troll Prince might covet Vera.
Secondly, the news of the Sacred Samurai challenging him to a duel made him unhappy.
However, Colin wasn't too worried about this.
After all, when the Troll Sacred Samurai said that, he was obviously targeting the Duke Of St. Hilde.
Colin wasn't the one who cut off the head of the previous Troll Emperor, even though he was now the owner of [Judgement Blade].
However, if a Sacred Samurai challenged a rank 3 Knight to a duel, he would become the laughing stock of the world.
The Sacred Samurai probably couldn't afford to lose face.
As for who the Northern Frontier would send to deal with the Sacred Samurai, that wasn't something Colin had to worry about.
The Duke Of St. Hilde probably wouldn't take the field himself, as that would be suicide.
As far as Colin could remember, there were no Paladins in the Northern Frontier.
However, the Radiance Empire did, and there were two of them.
The paladins of the Giant Demon Empire had come knocking on their door. Presumably, these two paladins wouldn't sit idly by.
In any case, it had nothing to do with a mere Viscounts like Colin.
Prince Okamoto had only wanted to scare Colin and take revenge on Colin for looking down on him.
Colin naturally wouldn't give this troll messenger any face, even if the other party was a prince.
A loser was a loser.
After personally experiencing that battle and witnessing the Black Cavalry slaughtering an army of three hundred thousand trolls as if they were pigs, Colin found it hard to look at the Northern Frontier's greatest enemy in the eye.
Prince Okamoto didn't care about Colin's coldness at all.
Perhaps he was already mentally prepared, as this prince's attitude was very humble.
He took good care of Colin along the way, as if he had really become Colin's servant.
This aroused Colin's wariness.
This Prince Okamoto couldn't be a Gou Jian type of person, could he?
On the surface, he was serving the enemy to reduce his threat, but in reality, he was enduring hardships and secretly accumulating the power for revenge.
Colin was secretly on guard and began to think of ways to disrupt the other party's peace talks.
He couldn't let the trolls succeed in catching their breath.
…
The team didn't travel very quickly, and it took them eight days to reach Winter Castle.
Colin had been to this central city of the Northern Frontier before, but every time he came, he would be deeply shocked by it.
Winter Castle was built on a mountain.
It was like a giant beast overlooking the entire Northern Frontier.
The magnificent city wall, which was more than thirty meters tall, was built halfway up the mountain. The higher the wall, the higher the status of the people who lived there.
And on the top of the mountain, which was shrouded in clouds all year round, stood the House of Saint Hilde's castle — Lion's Roar Castle.
It was said that this was the highest castle in the entire Northern Frontier, and even the entire Radiant Empire. It was hard to imagine how much effort had been put into building it.
The towering city made everyone speechless for a while.
Especially those trolls, who had never seen such a miraculous building complex, couldn't help but show fear on their faces.
"Listen to my roar, it is the anger of the Kingdom of Heaven!"
Okamoto looked at the magnificent castle standing high in the clouds and couldn't help but recite the language of the House of Saint Hilde.
When he heard this sentence before, this troll prince didn't think much of it.
He felt that no matter how powerful the House of Saint Hilde was, it wasn't qualified to put the words "Kingdom of Heaven" into the language of the clan.
But now, he understood.
Anyone who lived in that castle and looked down on all living things would inevitably have the illusion that they were the representatives of God in the world.
Prince Okamoto didn't know if it was because he recalled the terrifying scene of the Black Cavalry charging together, but he couldn't help but tremble.
Colin appreciated the fear of the trolls and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as a Northern Frontier citizen.
"After you, Your Highness Okamoto."
"Oh, okay, okay. After you, Your Excellency Viscounts. "
Prince Okamoto's waist seemed to be bent lower than before.
The group of people went up the mountain and came to the city gate halfway up the mountain.
The closer they got, the more they could feel the enormous pressure emitted by the city.
It was as if there was really a lion entrenched in the mountains, coldly watching everyone.
At this time, there was a long line at the city gate. It was the people who were waiting to enter the city for inspection.
However, as a noble, Colin obviously didn't need to line up.
When the Roaring White Bear's flag was displayed, the crowd quickly split to the sides and made way for Colin and his group.
The trolls also benefited from Colin's presence and followed him to the city gate.
However, the gazes of the people around them weren't very friendly.
If they hadn't followed behind Colin and made the people think that they were the captives or slaves of the Viscounts, perhaps there would have been people rushing up to beat them up.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guard's attitude towards Colin was very attentive. After confirming his identity, he immediately let them pass.
The trolls' treatment was completely different.
Even though Prince Okamoto had already taken out his proof of identity and the letter personally signed by the Troll Emperor, the guard still asked all sorts of questions and made things difficult for them. He had a look of distrust on his face.
He even repeatedly searched their luggage and took out everything inside. His attitude was extremely bad.
Colin chuckled as he watched from the side. He had no intention of stepping forward to help.
Many trolls were infuriated by the guard's attitude and were on the verge of exploding.
However, not only did the guards not restrain themselves, they even provoked them even more. It was as if they couldn't wait for the trolls to provoke them first so that they would have a reason to kill them.
Prince Okamoto maintained his smile from beginning to end. He didn't seem to be affected by favor or humiliation. No matter how the guards made things difficult for him, he patiently explained.
His restraint also made the other trolls calm down.
When the guards saw how terrified the trolls were, they gradually lost interest and waved their hands to let them enter the city.
"Your Excellency Viscounts, sorry to have kept you waiting. Your country's guards are too dutiful. "
Colin looked at the other party's smiling face. Even though he knew that it was fake, he couldn't help but admire the other party's patience.
This young Troll Prince was indeed a character.
Just as he was about to call Prince Okamoto into the city, there was a slight commotion at the city gate.
Colin looked up and saw a team of half-elves outside the city gate.
