The night was dark and everything was still.
A figure in full armor was striding towards Knight Nelson's camp.
"Stop! Who are you? Please report your identity!"
In front of the camp, Knight Nelson's guards immediately stopped the unidentified armored man vigilantly.
The armored man took off his helmet calmly.
"Lord Charles... my lord!"
As the direct legion of the St. Hilde family, it is of course impossible not to recognize Charles St. Hilde.
But the guards still couldn't believe their eyes, because there was news before that the eldest son of the Duke of St. Hilde had died in battle in the troll empire. Why did he appear here again now
Charles glanced blankly at the shocked guards, and then walked straight to the camp.
Of course the guards didn't dare to stop them.
In the tent, Knight Nelson also heard the movement outside, and was wondering why the guards let him in without notifying him, when he saw Charles' familiar face appearing in front of him.
"Lord Charles..."
Knight Nelson was also completely stunned on the spot, obviously frightened by Charles' resurrection.
"You... you haven't already..."
"That's all rumors I asked Viscount Angelet to release."
Charles spoke, but there was an indescribably weird tone in his tone, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"What's wrong with your throat?"
"Ahem, I hurt my throat a little before."
Colin was also very helpless. Although he was able to manipulate the blood slave to speak now, this manipulation took a lot of energy, and the tone of his speech was also very strange.
Fortunately, Knight Nelson did not pay attention to this at this time. After hearing Charles' explanation, he no longer struggled with this point, but hurried forward and bowed.
Although Charles has now been deprived of his title, after all, he once commanded the Golden Lions on behalf of the Duke of St. Hilde for a period of time, so Knight Nelson can be regarded as his old subordinate.
"I need you to lead the army back to Winter City immediately!" Charles said in an orderly tone.
Knight Nelson's expression froze, and he slowly raised his head, the respect on his face gradually disappeared.
"Master Charles, I don't know what Viscount Angelet told you, but now, we clearly have a chance to fight the dwarves, why are we retreating to Winter City?"
"Are you sure of winning?" Charles asked blankly.
Knight Nelson shook his head and said: "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, who dares to say that he will win?"
There was a stiff sneer at the corner of Charles' mouth: "Then if you lose, can you bear the responsibility?"
"If I lose, I will apologize with death!" Knight Nelson replied sonorously.
"Hehe. If the Golden Lion Army dies in one battle, the northern border will completely fall under the control of the Santheon family. Even if you die thousands of times, it will be difficult to atone for your sins."
Knight Nelson was silent for a moment, but his eyes became more determined. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Charles. The order I received from the Duke is to stick to the front line of the rushing river and not let the Dawson family's army advance half a step!"
"Father is dead."
"Before seeing His Excellency's body, please forgive me for not being able to acknowledge the Duke's death."
Having said that, Colin also realized that this Cavalier Nelson was completely unconvincing.
Since you can't persuade with words, let's find another way.
The air in the camp gradually became stagnant, and Charles said in a cold tone, "Nelson, are you determined to fight me to the end?"
"Sorry, Lord Charles." Knight Nelson bowed his head in apology, but insisted on not letting go.
choke!
In the next second, a cold light suddenly appeared.
Knight Nelson's heart trembled, and he quickly leaned back, only narrowly dodging Charles' fatal sword.
"Lord Charles! What are you doing?" Knight Nelson obviously didn't expect that Charles would kill someone if he didn't agree with him.
"I'm going to kill you, the traitor of the St. Hilde family!"
Charles roared and approached again with his sword.
Seeing the murderous intent on Charles' face, Knight Nelson didn't dare to be careless. He immediately drew his sword from his waist and stabbed Charles' chest with his backhand.
Knight Nelson's sword intended to force Charles back, but unexpectedly, Charles seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and still rushed forward regardless.
By the time Knight Nelson realized it was wrong and was about to change his move, it was too late to withdraw his sword.
"Master Charles! Back!"
Charles completely ignored Knight Nelson's warning, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the point of the sword that was shining with cold light.
Chi!
The long sword pierced Charles' chest.
At the same time, the long sword in Charles' hand also fell on Nelson's shoulder, almost cutting off his right arm at the root.
But at this time, Knight Nelson didn't care about his injury at all. Looking at Charles who was close at hand, he was completely dumbfounded.
"My lord, my lord..." The guards who heard the movement and came to check appeared in the camp, and they were also dumbfounded when they saw everything in front of them.
Nelson Knight killed Charles St Hilde? !
A spring of blood flowed out of Charles' mouth like a spring, but there was a strange smile on his face.
"What happened?" The voice of the Cavaliers Cambelling just came from outside the tent.
Hearing this voice, Knight Nelson closed his eyes in pain.
He knew that he was finished.
…
"What happened?"
Earl Uman walked out of the tent, looked at the noisy scene in the distance, and asked suspiciously.
The guards also shook their heads blankly.
"Go and see."
"Yes." A personal guard immediately took the order and ran quickly in the direction of Nelson's knight camp.
Earl Uman was about to go back and wait for the news, but saw a figure in full armor walking towards him.
"Stop! Who?"
The guards immediately stepped forward to intercept.
The armored man took off his helmet decisively, revealing a pretty face.
"Cynthia Suduo?" Earl Uman recognized his niece at a glance, "You disappeared for so long, where did you go?"
"Uncle, I have been hiding in Ice Rock City, and I finally found out a big secret of the Angelet family!"
"What secret?" Although Earl Uman felt that Cynthia's tone was a bit strange, his attention was immediately attracted after hearing the word "secret".
"I found that the reason why Viscount Angelet's strength has improved so quickly is entirely because..."
As Cynthia spoke, she kept approaching Earl Uman.
When the distance between the two was less than three steps, she suddenly exerted strength and rushed forward, a cold light flashed in her hand, and it was a dagger.
Chi!
The dagger pierced Earl Uman's lower abdomen, but was held tightly by a big hand, unable to go any further.
"Why did you betray me?"
Earl Uman's face was gloomy and terrifying, he looked into Cynthia's eyes and shouted angrily.
However, he didn't see a bit of guilt or hesitation in the other person's eyes, only a deep and dead indifference, like a long-dead beast.
bang bang bang!
Just when Earl Uman was startled by Cynthia's eyes, there was a sudden sound of earth-shattering footsteps behind him.
A huge armored man rushed forward like a giant elephant.
The guards immediately drew their knives and stepped forward to stop them, but they were slapped away like flies.
Earl Uman immediately realized that this was a kill for himself.
Immediately roared, kicked Cynthia flying in front of him, turned around and punched out.
The golden holy light spread forward like flowing water, forming a real barrier in front of him.
Boom!
The golden barrier shattered in an instant, and Earl Uman could only feel the crunching sound of his arms.
The wound on his lower abdomen also burst instantly, and the excruciating pain made him almost unable to stand still.
puff!
Earl Uman couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body instantly flew backwards by the opponent's terrifying impact.
As soon as he landed, he ran back without hesitation, and at the same time shouted:
"There are assassins!"
This shout was like a spark falling into dry wood, instantly igniting the entire barracks.
Countless soldiers of the Uman family took up weapons and rushed over, trying to protect their Lord Earl.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the armored man and Cynthia stopped entanglement, turned around and ran away immediately.
Soon, it disappeared into the dark night.
