"I'm going to take down Silvermoon City, what do you think?"
Knight Rego looked back to find several accompanying officers, and almost scared them silly when he opened his mouth.
"Big, my lord... this is not good..."
"What's wrong?" Knight Rego stared, his shiny bald head reflected the rays of the sun, making him look particularly ferocious and frightening.
"We only have a thousand people, can we fight them down?" an officer said cautiously.
Knight Rego said disdainfully: "Isn't this Silver Moon City famous for surrendering without a fight? Maybe they surrendered as soon as we launched an attack."
All the officers were speechless for a while.
If Silvermoon City surrendered without a fight to their army of only a thousand people, then the Half-Elf Kingdom would simply be disbanded.
"My lord, if there is no accident in the city at all, and the martial law is indeed just because of the wedding, if we attack rashly like this, then it's a big joke..."
"That's right! My lord, and the brothers have traveled all the way, and now they don't have the strength to attack the city!"
"My lord, why don't we send someone back to the northern border to deliver the letter. If something happens to Silvermoon City, the Duke of St. Hilde will definitely not sit idly by."
…
Hearing that all the officers under his command were unanimously opposed to the siege, Knight Rego moaned in displeasure.
However, he is not the kind of lunatic who is completely desperate, and he can still listen to people's persuasion, so he nodded at this time and said:
"Okay, then let's set up camp outside the city to rest, and pay attention to the movement in the city at any time. As long as there is any situation in the city, we will rush in immediately!"
"Yes!" All the officers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
"My lord, do you want to send someone to deliver a letter to Winter City?" an officer reminded again.
Knight Rego shook his head: "No, Lord Viscount has already made arrangements."
He obviously thought of the pigeon that Colin asked him to bring back to Ice Rock City before he left.
If Ke Lin really had an accident in Silvermoon City, and Ice Rock City couldn't receive the news on time, he would naturally understand what to do.
"Yes." The officer was a little puzzled, but still nodded.
Knight Rego turned around, looked at the heavily guarded Silvermoon City with a sad expression, and sighed:
"Hey! I hope Lord Viscount won't suffer any grievances in the city."
—————
"Ah~~~ Cool!!!"
Colin drank a glass of chilled stag blood wine and groaned comfortably.
"I didn't expect you to like drinking stag blood wine so much." Vera held her chin and looked at Colin curiously. "Do you need more ice? I can make some for you."
"Ice cubes are enough. In fact, I learned from my father to drink deer blood." Colin decisively pulled out the old dead ghost as an excuse, "He said that a real knight should drink blood!"
"why?"
"Because..." Colin scratched his head, nonsense, "because blood is the essence of life, rich in various... beneficial substances."
"It turned out to be like this. I remember seeing my father drink bear blood when I was a child..." Vera suddenly realized that the family emblem of the Angelet family was a white bear, and quickly apologized, "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean that..."
Colin waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm not that sensitive."
In fact, he had long wanted to replace the family crest.
Roaring white bear
At first glance, it looks like a ramming family, not elegant at all...
"Then is it enough for you to drink stag blood wine? Don't you need to eat something else?"
"I don't need it, you can eat it."
At present, Vera is pretending to be dead, so the food brought in is naturally only for one person, so Ke Lin gave it to Vera.
"But I can't eat so much, you should eat some too." Vera pushed the half-eaten plate in front of Colin, and persuaded with a smile.
Ke Lin knew that the other party also had good intentions. Although he really didn't need to eat ordinary food, in order to make Vera feel at ease, he obediently stuffed the rest of the food into his stomach.
"Are we just waiting for the northern army to come to Silvermoon City?"
"right."
"But didn't the Mordiveh family blockade Silvermoon City, and we couldn't send back news to Cold Winter City?"
"Hehe, how could they block it forever like this?" Ke Lin said disdainfully, "Besides, there is no news, but it is actually a kind of news."
Only then did Vera suddenly realize: "That's right! If my father has not received the news of my marriage, he must know that something happened in Silvermoon City."
Colin nodded in agreement.
Although he actually meant something else.
In fact, the current situation in Silvermoon City does not satisfy Colin.
According to the current script, even if the northern army arrives in Silvermoon City, the Murdevyn family will still have a way to sit firmly on the throne.
And the Miller family should become the villains, and the crime of killing Vera is enough to make the family completely disappear from the world.
But this is obviously not in Colin's interest.
First of all, Queen Elsa is also a member of the Miller family, and Colin does not want to see his second blood being abolished like this.
Moreover, Colin is actually unwilling to let the half-elven kingdom fall under the control of the St. Hilde family.
This rich but weak small country has aroused Colin's greed.
He wants to take control of the kingdom himself!
What's more, Colin now has an excellent chess piece—Queen Aisha.
It would be a waste if not put to good use.
As long as he can control the half-elf kingdom, Colin will no longer have to worry about the cavalry military expenses.
"Perhaps, it's time to encourage some ambitious person..." Colin whispered to himself.
"What?" Vera was about to ask what Colin said when she heard someone knock on the door.
Colin quickly picked up Vera and put her in the coffin.
Then Shi Shiran opened the door and let the half-elf slave Cathy walk in.
"Master Viscount, have you finished your meal?"
"Well, you can clean up."
"yes."
Looking at Cathy who lowered her head to clean up the dining table, Colin suddenly said, "You should have a way to contact outside the palace, right?"
Cathy glanced at Colin carefully, hesitated for a moment, but dared not speak.
"Don't be afraid, we are on the same boat now." Colin laughed.
Then, regardless of whether Cathy believed it or not, she continued on her own:
"I know that your Savoy family wants to regain the half-elven throne, and letting Vera die in the palace is indeed a good way, and the Murdivyn family is very likely to be abolished under the anger of the North.
However, the Murdivyn family obviously will not sit still.
Want to know what their coping methods are? "
Cathy's hands trembled visibly, and a look of struggle flashed across her face.
After a while, she finally raised her head and looked at Colin.
There was no longer the flinch that she deliberately pretended to be in her eyes, and she straightened her chest, as if she didn't want to show timidity in front of Colin.
But her youthful face and simple clothes still made her look a little lacking in confidence.
"Master Viscount, I wonder what news you have received?"
Colin smiled playfully: "Why, have you admitted your identity?"
Cathy pursed her lips and said nothing.
"It's okay not to admit it. However, my news cannot be given to you for free."
"I don't know what you want?"
"I want to know, is there an army of the Angelet family outside Silvermoon City?"
Cathy frowned: "I'm sorry, my lord, Silvermoon City is currently locked down, and we cannot communicate with the outside world."
"It's not for you to contact, just for you to confirm their existence. Don't tell me you can't do such a simple thing."
"Okay." Cathy finally nodded, "Then what's the bad news you're talking about?"
Colin showed a bright smile: "You go and tell Sith, just say that the Meredith family has already imprisoned the envoys from the east, and it is estimated that they want to use this bargaining chip to completely fall to the north.
Therefore, if the Savoy family doesn't do something quickly, there is a high probability that the half-elven throne will still belong to the Mordiwin family.
And you will only be completely liquidated after losing your use value! "
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Cathy's eyes widened.
"Is this... is this true?" She obviously didn't quite believe Colin.
Colin spread his hands: "You can ask Sith to check it out, don't you have other eyeliners in the palace?"
As expected, Cathy left in a hurry with an anxious expression on her face.
Vera poked her head out of the coffin and asked curiously, "Colin, you have been locked up here, how did you know that the envoy from the East was arrested?"
Colin smiled mysteriously:
"Of course I have a way to know."
