"Prince Otto! You, you..."
Prince Abbas stared dumbfounded at the troll in front of him, unable to speak for a while.
The pride of the troll clan, the hero of the Volkin family, the only paladin in the past hundred years, is willing to become a human bodyguard!
Prince Abbas seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of something breaking deep in his heart.
No wonder Okamoto's well-planned assassination failed. It turned out to be the paladin Otto who betrayed him!
"Why?" Prince Abbas couldn't bear the anger and confusion in his heart any longer, and asked with a roar.
But Prince Otto didn't answer this question at all, he just put on his helmet silently again, as if he didn't want to face Prince Abbas's scorching gaze again.
"Prince Abbas, do you understand now? I'm just giving you a chance of redemption, not begging for your cooperation." Colin used an indifferent tone to remove Abbas' inner pride and resistance little by little. .
He reached out to open the two wooden boxes on the table, showed the heads of Okamoto and Squinn in front of Prince Abbas, pointed to Prince Otto and said:
"Abbas, do you want to be the third head in my collection? Or do you want to stand by my side respectfully like the paladin Otto?"
I have to admit that Prince Otto's rebellion did give Prince Abbas a heavy blow in his heart.
His entire demeanor instantly became decadent, his waist was bent, his eyes were dull and dull, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Colin would not show any mercy to his enemies. Seeing that Prince Abbas did not respond for a while, he urged him again:
"Abbas, the troll empire is doomed to have no future.
All you can do now is give it a decent and less painful exit.
As for your people, my plan of transformation is merciful enough.
As long as they integrate the blood of the human race and accept the culture and even beliefs of the human race, they will naturally be able to gradually eliminate their hatred for humans.
Only in this way can the northern border and the sky and ice field enjoy eternal peace, true peace! "
In fact, the reason why Colin chose to let Prince Abbas cooperate to disrupt the troll empire was just because he was too lazy to waste any more time. The troll king's city was too far away, and he didn't want to run for thousands of miles every time the civil strife in the troll empire showed signs of calming down, just to come to this icy and snowy land to torture and kill some trolls who had no ability to resist.
He now prefers to focus on the Glorious Empire. After all, the army of orcs has not yet been repulsed, and there is also the Church, the great enemy who has already made a deadly feud.
In addition, Colin is also worried that if he invades too frequently, it will promote the unity of the trolls and even help the troll empire to stabilize its internal affairs.
Of course, if Prince Abbas is really unwilling to cooperate, then Colin will not soften his heart. He must take advantage of the current time when the troll empire is at its weakest to completely destroy it, and let the trolls split into several small countries and fight each other , Massacre.
It's just that this solution is obviously more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is still difficult to prevent the trolls from completing the unification.
Therefore, the best way is to have an inner ghost like Abbas cooperate to disrupt the troll empire and make it sink in rebellion and civil strife.
"I... I will... cooperate with you!" Prince Abbas finally spoke after thinking hard for a long time. In just one sentence, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.
"Very good!" Colin smiled again, reached out to cover the two wooden boxes, and said, "Don't worry, since you are my secret partner, I will not treat you badly.
In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the troll empire, you can contact me.
In addition, you can choose a half-troll bastard yourself and send him to Winterfell in secret.
As long as you work hard to speed up the collapse of the troll empire, then the half-troll kingdom will quickly become stronger. When the time is right, I will let Gondwala abdicate and give the throne to your illegitimate son.
And you, you can also come to Winter City, or enjoy your old age in the half-troll kingdom. "
"Okay." Prince Abbas nodded. He seemed to have figured it out. His face was no longer as pale as before, and the resentment in his eyes gradually disappeared. Although there was still some guilt and pain left, he finally accepted Colin's offer. The prospect of "peace" planned by the trolls.
Colin took out a pen and paper again, handed it to Prince Abbas, and ordered:
"In order to help you successfully succeed to the throne, and to make it easier for you to carry out your next work, the Blood Cavalry Army will enter the troll king's city to sweep it. If there are any troll nobles that you don't want to see again, you can write them down."
Prince Abbas silently took the pen and paper, hesitated for a moment, wrote down a dozen names, and returned them to Colin.
Colin nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Okay, you can go. Later, someone will deliberately cause a disturbance in the prisoner-of-war camp, and you can escape while taking advantage of the chaos."
Prince Abbas hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he turned and walked out.
But at the door, Prince Abbas stopped.
"Is there anything else?" Colin asked.
Prince Abbas hesitated for a while, and finally confessed: "My lord, Ubam plans to create chaos in the prisoner-of-war camp tonight, and then take me to take advantage of the chaos to escape..."
"Really?" Colin gave Prince Abbas a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "That's not right, it saves me from having to arrange it again."
Prince Abbas seemed to understand something, a chill surged in his heart, and then he fled and left the tent, as if the human count behind him was the scariest creature he had ever seen.
…
late at night.
A heavy darkness enveloped the earth, even the moonlight could not penetrate it.
Prince Abbas curled up in the prisoner-of-war camp with his eyes closed, but he couldn't fall asleep.
About the future of the troll clan, about the evil plan of the human count, about his own future and destiny, and the promise of the king of the half-troll kingdom... Prince Abbas's mind was so chaotic that he even forgot Go to Ubam and ask about the situation.
But unexpectedly, Ubam found it by himself.
"His Royal Highness, I have already contacted you. When there is a commotion, follow me!"
Prince Abbas opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but said nothing, just nodded silently.
About ten minutes later, a scream pierced the silent night.
Prince Abbas immediately opened his eyes, and before he could speak, he heard Ubam beside him yell, "Flee!"
After speaking, he jumped up and ran away.
Prince Abbas followed immediately.
Sure enough, the prisoner-of-war camp was in chaos, and the troll prisoners got up one after another, and ran in all directions like crazy.
Just because they heard a cry that they didn't know the truth or falsehood:
"Run! The Blood Cavalry Army is going to kill the prisoners! The Blood Cavalry Army is going to kill the prisoners!"
Prince Abbas followed Ubam closely and ran all the way. It took him a while to realize that he was running in the south.
"Did we run in the opposite direction?"
"No!"
Prince Abbas had no choice but to continue to run.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped, gasping for breath.
Prince Abbas looked back, but he did not see the blood cavalry army chasing him.
And because they ran in the wrong direction, there were only a few trolls who followed, and they all collapsed on the ground and gasped continuously.
Prince Abbas approached Ubam, and finally couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"You've met Colin Angelet before, haven't you?"
Ubam smiled and said:
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. This is actually a test. If you hadn't confessed to the Earl in the camp just now, maybe I will kill you with my own hands now, and then go back to be the troll emperor."
Prince Abbas looked at Ubam with a pity face, and a chill and anger rose in his heart.
But he could only snort coldly, but he didn't dare to do anything to Ubam.
Obviously, this is the spy that Colin arranged to monitor him.
Also, Prince Abbas wondered if Ubam was the only one…
"His Royal Highness, let's continue walking." Ubam suggested with a smile.
Prince Abbas suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said:
"good."
