When the fight outside the city was in full swing, Colin was staying in the gloomy basement of the Red Castle.
Of course he wasn't hiding here, the slave rebels outside couldn't scare him yet.
Not to mention being scared, he couldn't even attract Colin's attention.
At the beginning, Colin went to the city to supervise the battle in person, but after seeing the "excellent" siege methods of the slave rebels, Colin was no longer interested in watching the battle.
In the basement at this time, Colin was not alone, there were nearly a hundred figures standing in front of him.
These figures all wore steel masks uniformly, covering their faces, only revealing eyes without a trace of human emotion.
Of course, these are all blood slaves transformed by Ke Lin.
In addition to Fox Rider and Monkey Ranger, the newly added eighty-five blood slaves wearing horse face masks are of course professionals selected from the captives of the Pegasus Legion.
Two fourth-tier knights, eight third-tier knights, five fourth-tier fighters, seventeen third-tier fighters, and fifty-three first-tier and second-tier professionals.
In order to transform so many blood slaves, Ke Lin gritted his teeth sour that he almost did not have a psychological shadow on his neck.
But fortunately, the results are remarkable.
At present, it seems that Ke Lin's blood shadow guard has already taken shape.
Colin placed high hopes on the Blood Shadow Guard, which was composed of blood slaves. The target was the Knights Templar of the Church of Radiance.
It is said that the Knights Templar is a truly terrifying legion composed entirely of knights. Although the number is only three thousand, its terrifying combat power is enough to overshadow all the legions of the Glory Empire.
This is also the most powerful military force in the hands of the Radiance Church.
Of course, at present, Ke Lin's Blood Shadow Guards cannot compare with the Knights Templar in terms of quantity or quality, but the future is long, and Colin believes that one day his Blood Shadow Guards will become a team capable of competing against the Templars. A mighty legion of knights.
Ke Lin glanced over the eighty-seven blood slaves one by one, and finally stopped on the monkey ranger, and ordered: "Monkey, go to the troll empire."
The monkey ranger nodded without saying a word, and then walked outside.
Colin rubbed his chin, then nodded to a knight with a horse face and mask, and ordered, "You also go with me."
The news brought by Charles made Colin also start to worry about the troll army that was about to go south, but he still wanted to see with his own eyes what the current situation of the troll empire was.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go to the troll empire in person at this time, so he had to let the blood slave do it for him.
After entering the fourth level, Ke Lin found that his control over the blood slaves had also improved to a higher level.
What the blood slave sees and hears, as long as he wants, he can see and hear at the same time, it's like a clone outside his body.
Moreover, the distance limit for him to control the blood slave seems to have disappeared.
Before the fourth level, Ke Lin could only give orders to the blood slaves within three or four kilometers, but after the fourth level, there seemed to be no distance limit.
At the beginning, he deliberately left a blood slave in Silver Moon City, and then returned to Ice Rock City all the way, until he arrived in Ice Rock City, he found that he could still control the blood slave who was thousands of miles away.
Afterwards, Colin arranged for three blood slaves to go to Winter City, Eagle Fall City and Iron Forge City respectively to monitor the movements of the St. Hilde Family, the Uman Family, and the Dawson Family.
These are the protagonists on the stage of the North that is about to kick off, and of course Colin should pay more attention to them.
After arranging everything, Colin also left the basement.
After walking a few steps, he met the oncoming Logue knight on the promenade.
"Master Viscount, the rebellion outside the city has subsided. Preliminary statistics show that a total of more than 12,000 slaves were captured this time. Thirty-eight Black Cavalry soldiers were seriously injured in this battle, and three others unfortunately died in battle. "
Colin frowned and asked, "These casualties should all be caused by recruits, right?"
"Yes."
Colin was relieved.
Recently, he had ordered the Shire knights to join the 1,000 cavalry recruits he had trained before into the black cavalry army. He just took advantage of this time to quell the slave rebellion, and pulled them out to show them blood.
However, judging from the casualties this time, the combat effectiveness of the recruits still needs to be improved.
But elite cavalry is definitely not something that can be trained in a short period of time, and such things cannot be rushed.
We can only hope that these recruits can grow rapidly under the leadership of the veterans of the Black Cavalry.
"Well, the treatment and pensions are carried out as usual, so I won't explain more."
"Yes, my lord." The Logue knight nodded in response, and then reported, "My lord, we also met a guard team of the Uman family outside the city. The leader claimed to be your brother-in-law—Knight Valla."
"He's here so soon?" Colin was slightly surprised.
Calculating the itinerary, Colin estimated that Walra and the others should have set off for Ice Rock City just after the Winter Veil Festival.
I don't know if my sister Caitlin really missed him, or if the Valla knight was ordered by Earl Uman to rush to win over the Angelet family.
"Welcome them into the city, and I will wait for them in the reception hall."
"yes."
…
Just as Ke Lin was teasing Xiao Bai, there were slightly hurried footsteps outside the hall.
Soon, Caitlin's figure appeared in Colin's sight. When she saw Colin, an unconcealable joy appeared on her face. Holding the hem of her skirt in both hands, she walked over quickly and hugged her brother in his arms. arms.
"Colin, I heard that you had a battle with the Eastern Border Army in Silvermoon City, but I was terrified! You didn't suffer any injuries, did you?"
"I'm fine, sister." Colin patted Caitlin's back helplessly.
However, this feeling of being missed by relatives is quite good, even though Colin has always been a little estranged from Caitlin.
Breaking free from his sister's embrace, Colin looked at the Valla knight who was walking towards him.
From the memory of his predecessor, he knew that Colin had a very good relationship with Walra.
Because he is a man who loves his sister and loves him, Colin loved Wu and Wu before, and he was also very close to Knight Valla.
And because of her status as an illegitimate child, Walla was blinded by the Uman family, but she found rare warmth in front of the Greycastle siblings. Therefore, after marrying Caitlin, Walla spent more time with her. It was staying in Graycastle Town, not Eagle Falling City.
It can be said that apart from not formally swearing allegiance to Baron Angelet, the former Walra knight was basically a knight of the Angelet family.
It was precisely because of this that when Baron Angelet led the army to set off, the Knights of Valla would actively follow them to the front line.
However, after experiencing so many things, when Knight Valla saw Colin again, besides joy, there was also lingering worry and guilt in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to greet Viscount Angelet, whose demeanor and demeanor was completely different from before.
Colin still smiled, as if everything that had happened in the past year had been forgotten by him, and warmly gave Knight Valla a hug, saying in his mouth:
"Walla, I heard from the Logue knight that you gave me a big gift just after you arrived in Ice Rock City!"
"Master Viscount, if you mean the battle outside the city, then I really dare not take the credit. The guards I brought this time at most helped intercept some rebels, which is really not a big gift."
"Haha, you're too polite. Also, don't be so cynical and call me Colin."
Looking at Colin's sincere smile, Walra seemed to have finally relaxed, and said with a smile:
"Okay, Colin."
