Colin felt that he was not the Virgin.
But I didn't expect that I would meet someone.
However, this is not surprising.
Although Vera's strength is outstanding, she is still young after all.
Moreover, he spent most of his time studying arcane arts in the Vierre Tower, and has not experienced the cruelty of the world. Some naive, some saints, are all excusable.
But to Colin's helplessness, the Knight of Bliss knew very well that these routs should be abandoned, but no matter how Colin tried to persuade him, the St. Hilde family knight was determined not to disobey Vera's will.
This made Colin not only angry, but also a little confused.
What is Vera's identity
In Colin's view, Bliss's strength is probably already a fourth-tier knight. Even in the St. Hilde family, the knights of this rank are definitely regarded as the core combat power, and their status is definitely not low.
Then why did he obey this female mage so much, even at the cost of his own life
If he hadn't known that the Duke of St. Hilde had only three sons and no daughter, Colin might have suspected that Vera was the Duke's daughter.
Although he was disappointed with the future of this team, Ke Lin was not too panicked.
After all, even if he was chased by wolf cavalry, he could still pretend to be dead and escape.
Presumably there is no one in this world who is more capable of pretending to be dead than him...
Colin is confident in this.
As for the others, they can only ask for their own blessings.
There was nothing he could do.
For the next two days, everything was uneventful.
There were no trolls chasing soldiers, not even blind-eyed thieves.
On the contrary, they encountered several waves of broken soldiers who escaped from the Jinghu battlefield.
Virgin Mary of course accepted them without hesitation.
At this moment, the cavalry squad, which was originally less than a hundred people, quickly expanded to a size of more than a thousand people.
Although the number of people has increased, anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the combat effectiveness has not improved much.
When marching and fighting, it is not that the more people the better, especially when carrying out "strategic transfer".
Obviously, Vera is such a guy with little military knowledge.
But now, under Thrall's flickering praise, after seeing the expansion of the team, she became more and more confident, and even had the absurd idea of continuing to gather routs and fight the trolls to the death.
However, in addition to these bad things, it is not without good news.
The recently received wave of routs told them that after defeating Marquis Charles, the troll main army took advantage of the trend and chased northward. Therefore, the vicinity of Mirror Lake is now safe.
The news made everyone cheer and excited.
In this way, the fleeing team had to face only the wolf cavalry unit that had been chasing them before.
Although the wolf cavalry misjudged the direction of their breakout, after so many days, they should have already reacted.
According to Colin's thinking, the most sensible thing to do now is to abandon those routs and continue north before the wolf riders catch up, looking for and hiding in the nearest human town.
Instead of continuing to receive broken troops like this, the speed of the march was dragged down, and finally the wolf cavalry caught up again.
The development of the matter was exactly as Colin expected.
Two days later, the troll sentry was finally found behind the fleeing team.
"Master Colin, the previous wolf cavalry is about to catch up, or we'd better get out of the team and run away by ourselves!" Knight Raymond obviously realized that something was wrong, and suggested quietly to Colin.
Colin is not panicking now.
He even wanted to see what would happen to this group of people who pretended to be smart and didn't listen to his advice.
Perhaps, there is still a chance to get the blood of Knight Bliss and Mage Wei.
Colin didn't feel much guilt about this.
Because he didn't intend to murder these two for the sake of blood.
On the contrary, he had reminded him a long time ago, but these people insisted on finding their own death, so he had no choice but to "use waste" according to the principle of not wasting.
but…
Colin glanced at Raymond beside him.
For this loyal knight, he still doesn't want him to die here.
"You run by yourself, I still want to..."
"Master! If you don't leave, I will never leave either!"
Obviously, Raymond misunderstood what Colin meant.
But Ke Lin couldn't explain it either. He couldn't tell the other party that he was good at playing dead, so don't worry, right
Just as Colin was thinking about how to fool Raymond away, a soldier ran over and sent a message: "Master Colin, Mr. Bliss, please go over."
"Okay." Colin had to calm down for the time being, and followed the soldiers to a tent in the middle of the camp.
In the tent, besides Vera and Bliss, the dutiful son Sal was also there.
These days, with his excellent eloquence, quick-witted mind, and flattering attitude, Sal has obviously become Vera's lackey.
Colin had to admire his trickery.
But at the same time, I also felt a wave of disgust for this annoying guy.
"Knight Colin, you are here." Vera smiled and nodded to Colin, as if there was no barrier caused by the previous dispute about receiving the rout.
Bliss nodded lukewarmly.
Thrall bowed and saluted, with a warm smile on his face: "I didn't expect to see you again, respected Kahn..."
"Snapped!"
Ke Lin flicked the horsewhip in his hand and yanked it directly, interrupting the second half of the filial son's speech.
"Knight Colin, what are you doing?" Vera was taken aback by this turn of events, and asked immediately.
Colin sneered, pointed at Thrall who was knocked to the ground, and said angrily, "Mercenary boy, remember my name—Colin Angelet!"
Thrall was obviously stunned by Colin's whip.
At this time, he hadn't figured out how the previous "Kan Suduo" became "Colin Angelet", but the burning pain on his body still made him know what he should do now.
"Sorry, my lord Colin, I misremembered."
As a commoner, Thrall couldn't question a nobleman, even if the nobleman had indeed lied.
"Hmph! I'll punish you for leading the horse of Knight Colin!" Vera, who felt that she had figured out what happened, snorted softly, and didn't blame Colin anymore. She even felt that the punishment of a whip was a bit light.
In this highly hierarchical world, it is not an exaggeration for a commoner to be hanged if he calls the wrong nobleman's name in person.
Colin looked angry on the surface, but secretly laughed in relief.
He had been upset with this dutiful son for a long time, so he just took the opportunity to take revenge.
Of course, it is also possible to prevent the other party from saying that they used a pseudonym before.
"Okay, Knight Colin, this time we came to you to discuss the direction of our way forward. You must know that the wolf cavalry behind us has caught up again."
Facing Vera's inquiry, Colin did not answer immediately, but ordered Thrall who was still kneeling on the ground: "You go out first!"
Sal quietly clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to refute Colin, so he could only look at Vera for help.
But obviously, he overestimated his position in Vera's heart.
"Sal, you go out first."
"yes."
Sal had to get up and leave.
But at the same time, he buried his head deeply, not wanting the uncontrollable anger in his eyes to be discovered.
