Seeing that Colin hesitated, Mrs. Grace spoke again:
"Earl Angelet, the Morrison family still has 35 knights and more than 30,000 soldiers to fight. Don't you want to miss such a powerful military force?"
Colin was really moved.
As the Earls of the Empire, the Morrison family's strength is unquestionable. If Colin does not accept such a military force, it is likely to dissipate.
After all, after losing their title and territory, the Morrison family's army could only be disbanded on the spot, and the family knights would also become wandering knights, looking for a lord who was willing to take them in.
Now that the orc invasion is imminent, Colin really needs to organize resistance as much as possible.
The Morrison family is a very good choice. They have just lost their title and territory, and they are holding back their energy to make contributions. They will definitely be willing to work hard on the battlefield.
As for the loyalty of the Morrison family... Colin wasn't too worried.
After all, the Morrison family is too deeply entangled with the St. Hilde family's blood. Looking at Mrs. Grace's status and prestige in the Morrison family today, one can understand that this family is unlikely to betray the North.
Perhaps some members of the Morrison family will be resentful to Colin himself, but as long as they do not commit insanity, it is impossible to assassinate Colin, because not only will there be no gains, but it will lead to the Morrison family's complete desperation. dead end.
Moreover, thinking a bit darkly, if these people are really dissatisfied with Colin, then Colin should accept their allegiance, and then send them all to the front line against the orcs to consume...
The more Colin thought about it, the more his heart moved.
He was originally reluctant to bring the Blood Cavalry Army to the Western Region. After all, this was his trump card army. Once it was overvalued in the war against the orcs, it would definitely seriously affect the status of the Angelet family.
After all, Colin's rise was too fast, and the Angelet family didn't have any other troops they could use.
Although Knight Leigo is constantly recruiting new recruits to expand the army of the Angelet family, this new army is still too immature. If they really want to take it to the western region, those recruits will probably feel weak when they see the orcs, so, The current Angelet family can only rely on the blood cavalry to support the scene.
However, if the blood cavalry army went to the western region, what if the trolls on the ice field of the sky thought something they shouldn't have
"Okay, I accept your allegiance!" Colin finally made up his mind.
He will take this Morrison family army to the west. If these people can pass his test and prove their loyalty, after the baptism of this war, the Angelet family will once again add a powerful army .
Mrs. Grace breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Count Angelet, your heart is as wide as the sky and as vast as the sea! Please believe that the Morrison family will never let you down!"
Colin looked at the smiling Mrs. Grace, and suddenly realized that this was probably what she had planned long ago—
First let Earl Morrison voluntarily give up his title to atone for the crimes committed by Horus and win Colin's forgiveness, and then let the Morrison family be loyal to Colin, follow him to the western region, and win meritorious deeds with their strength.
If it goes well, the Morrison family can rise again.
Moreover, Mrs. Grace should have recognized Colin's potential. Although the Morrison family gave up the title of earl this time, with Colin, there may be more room for growth in the future.
You must know that although the Angelet family is famous in the empire now, it mainly relies on the strength of Colin alone. The Angelet family lacks foundation after all.
Therefore, the Morrison family has all come here at this time. As long as they can win Colin's trust, they will definitely occupy an important position in the vassal system of the Angelet family in the future.
Thinking of this, Ke Lin couldn't help but took a deep look at the old lady, but he didn't care about the other party's calculations.
Because this matter is also beneficial to him.
The Angelet family needs a strong enough vassal to grow.
Colin also gradually realized that he had relied too much on the blood cavalry army before. Although this army was indeed extremely powerful, the cavalry still had its own limitations, and in many cases, a powerful infantry was needed to cooperate.
Moreover, relying too much on the Blood Cavalry Army will also lead to an imbalance in the Anglie family's vassal system. This may not be obvious now, but it will definitely become a hidden danger in the future.
Therefore, Ke Lin really needs to introduce another military force to balance the blood cavalry army, so that walking on two legs can be more stable.
While thinking about it, Colin tapped his sword on the shoulders of a group of Morrison family knights, accepting their allegiance.
Watching this scene, Earl Hall couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.
After all, if Colin did not accept the Morrison family's allegiance, wouldn't the Morrison family's elite army become an excellent resource pool for the Hall family after they were disbanded on the spot
But no matter how reluctant he was, Earl Hall didn't dare to talk too much, he could only suppress his regrets in his heart.
After turning around, Colin found that only Seken Morrison was still holding Franco's body and refused to pledge allegiance to him.
He didn't bother to pay attention to this stubborn young man, and ordered the knights of the Morrison family to rectify the army, and after preparing to follow him to Winter City, he strode away.
After Colin left, the rest of the Morrison family also left one after another, and the room gradually became empty. Mrs. Grace looked at her obsessed grandson and sighed, but said nothing.
Nina seemed to want to persuade her husband, but was stopped by Mrs. Grace and said:
"Let's go, let him continue to complain about himself here."
Nina had no choice but to leave with Mrs. Grace.
After an unknown amount of time, Saken Morrison raised his head again, and found that besides himself, only his father's maid—Kardina Knight—was left in the room.
Said she was a maid, but Seken knew that Kadina was actually his father's lover.
"Why don't you leave?" Saiken sneered, "Why are you staying here? Go ask your new master to favor you!"
Knight Cadina looked at the excited Saiken lightly, and asked:
"Do you want revenge?"
Saiken froze for a moment, looked at Kadina in surprise, and said, "What do you mean? Revenge on whom?"
Cadina Cavalier had a cold light in his eyes, and said, "Of course it's Colin Angelet!"
Saiken opened his mouth wide and paused for a while before saying, "But... But didn't you just swear allegiance to Colin Angelet?"
"That's just to win his trust." Cardina said coldly.
Saiken's face changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"What's your plan?"
