Half-elf kingdom, Shadow Canyon.
For the Black Cavalry, this canyon is a shame that can never be washed away.
The ambush a year ago left most of the elite of the Black Cavalry buried here forever.
Today, as the blood cavalry who inherited the mantle of the black cavalry, they pass by this place again.
This time, without Colin's special confession, the Logue Knight personally led the leading troops, and was going to search the inside and outside of the canyon, every stone seam, to ensure that the last tragedy would not happen again.
Towering into the clouds, the knife-like cliffs block the sunlight, covering the entire canyon in darkness. Unknown weeds and fungi still thrive in such an environment.
Perhaps this is also thanks to the tragic battle last year. Countless corpses and a lot of blood became the best nourishment for these wild plants. In a sense, life is indeed a kind of reincarnation—
The cemetery of human beings has created a paradise for plants.
Walking in the canyon, Knight Logue felt heavy in his heart, and the lingering smell of blood still lingered in the air, and he seemed to be recalling the tragic fighting that day in his ears.
Although Ke Lin had led them to annihilate the Pegasus Legion in Silvermoon City, avenging the dead soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army, the shame of Shadow Canyon still lingered in the hearts of every Blood Cavalry soldier.
The Logue knight felt that maybe one day, the blood cavalry army could break through Bailu City and hang the body of the Duke of St. Pross on the top of the city, so that the hatred and shame of the past could be completely washed away.
For the arrival of this day, the Logue knight is extremely confident.
As Colin's confidant and the commander of the Blood Cavalry Army, the Logue Knight certainly knows some of Colin's plans and ambitions, and he is even more aware of the current conflict between the North and the East.
In the eyes of the Logue knights, Colin will sooner or later enter the East Territory, and everything he is doing now is preparing for this.
"who?"
Just as the Logue knight was looking forward to the future, there was a sudden scolding sound from the sentry knight in front of him.
The Logue knight tightened his heart, hurriedly urged his horse, and headed in the direction of the source of the sound.
"Don't... don't be impulsive! My... my lords, I have no malicious intentions! I am the son of Knight Ron, the lord of Clover City, Jason Rutte, and I am waiting for Earl Angelet!"
Facing the ferocious Blood Cavalry sentry cavalry, Jason was so frightened that he couldn't speak smoothly.
However, even if he reported himself, the spear tip that was shining with cold light around him still did not retract.
Jason was about to speak again, when he saw a knight in bright armor, obviously a senior officer, approaching.
"How do you know that the Blood Cavalry Army will pass here at this time?" the Logue knight asked coldly.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, the Logue Knights are now very sensitive to any accidents.
Hearing this, Jason immediately understood the other party's concerns, and quickly explained with a bitter face: "Master Knight, how could I know the exact whereabouts of the Blood Cavalry Army. It was my father, Knight Ron, who told me that Earl Angelet recently My lord will definitely come to Silvermoon City, that's why I was asked to wait here.
To tell you the truth, I have been guarding here in Shadow Canyon for more than a month, and now I am finally waiting for you. "
The Logue knight was relieved.
"Come with me." The Logue knight waved to Jason, and then ordered his subordinates, "Continue to search the canyon, and don't miss any suspicious places!"
"yes!"
Jason let out a sigh of relief, quickly got on his horse, and followed the Logue knight to the other side of the canyon.
The two of them walked through the canyon for another ten miles before arriving at the camp of the Blood Cavalry Army.
Under the leadership of Knight Logue, Jason soon arrived at the camp of the Chinese Army and met Count Angelet whom he had met once.
"Respected Earl Angelet! I am Jason, the son of Knight Ron Lute, the lord of Clover City. On behalf of my father, I would like to extend my sincere welcome to you!"
"LĂĽtte?" Colin muttered the surname, and finally remembered the top family that was once prominent in the half-elf kingdom.
I also remembered that when he exchanged prisoners in Clover City and East Territory, Queen Aisha had appointed a Clover City lord to fight against the infiltration of Clover City by Eastern Territory.
At that time, the city lord chosen by Queen Aisha was Knight Ron, the nephew of Duke Rutte, the former commander of the Silver Moon Guard.
"You are waiting for me here, what's the matter?"
Jason smiled and invited: "Master Earl, my father knew that you were about to pass by Clover City, so he specially sent me to meet you. He is waiting for you in Clover City!"
Colin rolled his eyes, feeling speechless at the cheekiness of the lord of Clover City.
Shadow Canyon is hundreds of kilometers away from Clover City, and from here to Silvermoon City is north, but Clover City is clearly in the south, so it is not a road at all, is this also called passing by
"Hehe, it seems that your Rutte family is having an unsatisfactory life in Clover City." Colin exposed Jason mercilessly.
Jason smiled awkwardly. He also knew that his father's purpose could be easily guessed, but at this time their Rutte family really needed foreign aid, and the situation in Clover City was very bad, so he had to say with a dry smile:
"My lord, don't worry, as long as you lead the blood cavalry to Clover City, those rats who only dare to hide in the gutter will surely flee!"
Colin chuckled.
Of course, he would not have any doubts about this. The so-called Clover Brotherhood supported by the East Territory was nothing more than an organization composed of robbers and criminals. Let alone the Blood Cavalry Army, they would run away from any regular army.
But what good is that
The geographical location of Clover City is too special, it happens to be at the junction of Crystal River and Nushui River.
Even if the Blood Cavalry Army could easily occupy the northwest urban area, they would not dare to cross the river to occupy the other two urban areas without the support of the Navy.
Unless the northern border can control the Nushui River and the Crystal River, there is no point in marching into Clover City.
Moreover, in Ke Lin's view, Clover City is also a poisonous fruit thrown out by the East, just to lure the North to swallow it.
But how could Colin be fooled? Before forming a powerful navy, Colin would never choose Clover City as the battlefield for the decisive battle with the East Territory.
So, facing Jason's expectant eyes, Colin still refused indifferently:
"Jason, please apologize to Knight Ron for me. This time I have something important to go to Silvermoon City as soon as possible, and I really can't go to Clover City. Next time I have a chance, I will visit again."
"Lord Earl!" Jason immediately became anxious when he heard that Colin rejected his invitation, "You can't leave Clover City alone! That damned bandit Capone has gathered most of the underground forces in Clover City. The Te family is alone and alone, without the support of the army, how could it be possible to defeat them!
To tell you the truth, in the past three months, three knights and two rangers in the family have died for no apparent reason!
If you still don't care, I'm afraid even my father will be killed by those lunatics! "
Facing Jason's sincere cry, Colin's face was not moved at all, and he still said coldly:
"I'm sorry, but Clover City is the territory of the Half-Elf Kingdom. As the Earl of the North, I have no authority to govern it. If your Rutte family really has unsolvable difficulties, you can go to Queen Aisha."
"My lord, Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to send troops to support Clover City!"
"Then there's nothing I can do." Colin spread his hands and said to Knight Logue, "Send Knight Jason away."
"My lord, my lord..."
Jason wanted to persuade him again, but he was forcibly kicked out by the Logue knight.
Colin watched Jason struggling to be kicked out, and he clenched his chin in thought for a moment.
Then, he quickly wrote a letter, summoned an attendant, and ordered:
"You immediately send this letter to Cold Winter City and hand it over to Arnold of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce."
"yes."
Although it is impossible for Colin to enter Clover City now, he is unwilling to really do nothing and let the forces supported by the Eastern Realm wreak havoc there.
