Loire Valley.
The northern army is ready to go.
After Marquis Garcia was forcibly summoned by Emperor Reinhardt, Earl Dawson became the temporary commander of this army.
To be honest, Wells Dawson did not have such prestige in the northern army at all, but because of the support of Emperor Reinhardt and no one in the army stood up to compete with him at this time, Dawson The earl successfully obtained the command of this army.
Earl Dawson's first order after taking office was to ask the northern army to go to Storm Fortress to gather together with the imperial coalition forces to fight against the incoming orcs.
Wearing gorgeous silver armor, riding on a tall white horse, watching more than 100,000 northern soldiers rushing under his command, Earl Dawson felt as if he was in the clouds.
This may be the pinnacle of the Dawson family, or even the pinnacle of the dwarven nobles.
Earl Dawson also knew that his power actually came from the support of Emperor Reinhardt, of course, thanks to the stupid move of Marquis Garcia.
If it weren't for the special situation now, it wouldn't be his Dawson family's turn to command the army in the north.
Moreover, he also understood that his current status was only temporary, and the major lords in the northern border only regarded him as a mouthpiece for Emperor Reinhardt.
After this battle, the Dawson family will eventually be beaten back to their original state...
However, after trying this intoxicating taste, Earl Dawson couldn't help himself.
He began to wonder secretly how to stabilize his position.
Perhaps it's a good idea to cling to the royal thighs...
Just as Earl Dawson was secretly planning the future direction of the family, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.
While he was wondering, he saw a sentinel rushing over and reported:
"My lord, our reinforcements are here!"
"What reinforcements?" Earl Dawson looked blank.
"It's the Blood Cavalry Army and the Butterfly Army! It looks like Lord Earl Angelet led the army here."
Earl Dawson's face instantly turned extremely pale.
…
The trembling of the earth became more and more violent, like a drum being hit by a heavy hammer, and countless fine gravels were shaken up and down, like boiling water.
The continuous sound of horseshoes came from a distance, as if the whole earth was about to be torn apart.
Looking at the approaching cavalry, the northern soldiers in the river valley camp became extremely excited and proud.
Because what swept over was the greatest glory, the strongest backbone, and the most terrifying army in the northern border—the Blood Cavalry Army!
The shocking sound of horseshoes, like a burst of spring thunder, dispelled the haze that shrouded the hearts of the soldiers in the northern border.
At this moment, the orc army seemed no longer so invincible.
…
The army began to slow down one kilometer close to the camp.
But Yiqi didn't slow down, and still rushed into the camp at lightning speed.
"Master Guardian!"
Of course the guards at the camp recognized Colin and hurriedly saluted and greeted him loudly.
咴Law—
Colin made an emergency stop at the gate of the camp, and asked eagerly:
"Is Lord Marquis Garcia in the camp?"
The guard shook his head and said, "Not here. Two nights ago, His Excellency the Marquis was just taken to Storm Fortress by an envoy sent by His Majesty."
Colin frowned immediately, glanced around the camp, and then asked:
"Where are you going?"
"According to Earl Dawson's order, we will go to Storm Fortress to join the Imperial coalition forces..."
"Wales Dawson?" Colin raised his brows and asked in a bad tone.
The guard didn't know why the Lord Guardian of the North was angry, but he could only nod his head truthfully.
Colin snorted coldly, then grabbed his horse's belly and rushed into the camp just like that.
Along the way, the northern soldiers saluted and greeted Ke Lin, the reverence in their eyes was undisguised.
Originally, Colin's reputation in the northern region was already in full swing, but now that Marquis Garcia's reputation has been discredited due to his actions in the Tianduan Mountains, the soldiers in the northern region urgently need a new idol to lead them to victory.
Lord Dawson also understood this truth.
So the moment he heard of Colin's arrival, he knew that the command of the Northern Army might be about to change hands.
He suddenly realized belatedly, no wonder Marquis Garcia left with the emperor's envoy so happily.
I am afraid that the Marquis of Garcia had confirmed that Colin was about to arrive in the Loire Valley at that time, so he left with confidence...
"Master Guardian..." Earl Dawson squeezed out an ugly smile, and bowed to Colin who was walking towards him.
Colin rode on the horse, looked down at Earl Dawson, and said coldly:
"Earl Dawson, who authorized you to take over the northern army?"
"It's His Majesty the Emperor." Earl Dawson replied.
I don't know if he remembered that he still has a backstage, but Earl Dawson regained some courage and tried to straighten his back in front of Colin.
Colin smiled dismissively and said:
"Here are all the vassals of the St. Hilde family. What power does His Majesty have to make them obey your orders?"
Earl Dawson was speechless for a moment.
Colin immediately took out a parchment scroll from his arms, threw it to Earl Dawson's face, and said loudly:
"This is an order signed by the Duke of St. Hilde himself, authorizing me to command the army of the North as the Guardian of the North.
Lord Dawson, what else do you want to say? "
Earl Dawson took the parchment, and sure enough, he saw that it clearly stated that Earl Angelet would replace Marquis Garcia as the commander of the northern army.
He looked around reluctantly, but saw that the northern nobles who had been persuaded by him avoided his gaze.
Obviously, between Earl Angelet and him, the northern nobles chose the former without hesitation.
Earl Dawson seemed to have finally recognized the reality, his waist bent down, and a flattering smile appeared on his face:
"Count Angelet, of course I dare not disobey the Duke's order. However, I hope you can understand that the northern army was not commanded before, and I was entrusted by His Majesty to take charge of the army temporarily, and I did not challenge Saint Hill The meaning of the German family... "
"Okay." Colin waved his hand and roughly interrupted Earl Dawson's defense.
He didn't have the time to deal with this rambunctious guy right now, and he didn't have a good excuse either.
However, he was already thinking about how to clean up the Dawson family and even the dwarves in the north in the future.
Ke Lin's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the northern nobles and officers, and then ordered loudly:
"Everyone, since the Duke of St. Hilde appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, please cooperate fully. I don't care what you think in private, but right now is the most critical moment for mankind, and I need your unconditional obedience!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Okay!" Colin nodded in satisfaction, and issued the first order, "Cancel going to Storm Fortress, we will camp here!"
