The night was dark and the stars dimmed.
Colin stood beside the burning bonfire, and his vision was full of brightly lit military camps.
"What are you thinking?"
Colin turned his head and saw the Duke of St. Grian walking towards him with an intoxicating smile on his face.
"It's nothing." Colin let out a long breath, looking at the dark night sky in the west, and said, "I was just thinking, according to the advancing speed of the orc army, it should be almost time to reach the Loire Valley..."
"Really? That's great! The time for revenge is finally coming!" Duke St. Grian looked at the west with burning eyes, and exclaimed excitedly.
Colin was not as confident as Duke St. Grian.
In fact, as the orc army approached, Colin gradually became nervous.
Of course, Colin has no objection to the combat strategy formulated by Marquis Garcia.
But there is no problem with the strategy, but it may not be smooth when it is actually implemented.
The real battlefield is extremely complicated, and the situation changes rapidly. Even the most brilliant generals dare not say that they can control everything.
Colin couldn't help worrying, if he messed up this battle, would the Glorious Empire collapse, and the fate of mankind would fall into a long-term darkness...
If this is the case, then it is better to allow Mr. Ji to sacrifice the Storm Fortress, at least he can use this to kill the orc emperor.
Thinking about it this way, didn't I become a sinner of the empire after tossing around for a long time
While his thoughts were churning, Ke Lin suddenly found that a flagon was handed to him.
Turning his head, he saw the Duke of St. Grian raised his chin towards himself with a smile, and said, "Have a drink?"
Colin smiled slightly, took the wine jug, and took a sip. .
The spicy drink mixed with the smell of blood shocked Ke Lin.
"Stag blood wine?"
"Yes. I heard that you like to drink stag blood wine before, but now I understand why."
While speaking, Duke St. Grian took back the wine jug from Colin and poured it into his own mouth.
The warm evening wind blew past, bringing the smell of elegant rose water to Colin's nose.
It was only then that Colin noticed that the Duke of St. Grian did not wear the silver armor tonight, but changed into a purple palace dress in a rare way.
Her figure was already tall and slender, and the close-fitting long skirt well highlighted her graceful curves and her pair of surprisingly long straight legs. She was heroic and at the same time showed a different kind of sexy and charming.
"Does it look good?" Noticing Colin's gaze, Duke St. Grian did not make any gestures, but raised his chin proudly and asked with a smile.
Colin looked away in embarrassment, took the jug handed over by Duke St. Grian, and avoided the rather bold question just now in the name of drinking.
It's just that after the wine entered his throat, Colin actually tasted something different from it.
Only then did he realize that the Duke of St. Grian just drank to his mouth...
So, this counts as an indirect kiss
Faint ripples appeared in his heart, and Ke Lin suddenly felt a little drunk.
In the blurred night, an ambiguous atmosphere began to circulate between the two.
Duke St. Grian stared at Colin intently, as if expecting something.
However, Ke Lin only focused on pouring wine into his mouth, and quickly drank up a pot of stag blood wine.
"You don't save some for me either." Duke St. Gerian gave Colin a blank look and said angrily.
"Ahem, I'm sorry." Colin scratched the back of his head and returned the jug casually.
Duke St. Grian took the flagon and suddenly said:
"The Duke of St. Landers has approached me privately."
"Oh?" Colin's eyes narrowed, and his blurred eyes instantly became clear, "Why did he ask you?"
Duke St. Grian smiled slightly and said:
"What else can I do? He also saw the abnormality of Emperor Reinhardt, and he was testing me on the sidelines."
Colin also smiled and asked, "Then how do you deal with him?"
"Pretend to be stupid." Duke St. Grian shrugged and said casually. Inadvertently, the shoulder strap on the right side slipped down, revealing the white, tender and translucent skin.
At this time, Ke Lin was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty beside him, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he asked:
"Do you think it is necessary for me to solve this internal hidden danger before going to war?"
The Duke of St. Grian pouted a little discouragedly, stretched out his hand to pull up the slipped shoulder strap, shook his head and said:
"I don't think it's necessary. Judging from the information revealed in the Duke of St. Landers' words, although he has noticed the abnormality of the emperor, he has no intention of using it to cause trouble.
He is a smart man who understands that at this critical moment, no matter what happens to the emperor, he must cooperate to finish the battle first.
I reckon that even if he wants to expose this matter, he will wait until after this battle is over.
So, you can guard against him, or prepare in advance, but there is no need to cause trouble before the big battle. "
Colin nodded silently.
In fact, he originally planned this way, but under the pressure of the imminent battle, he was inevitably a little nervous and hesitant.
Hearing Duke St. Grian's persuasion now, he also forced himself to calm down.
"It turns out that you are also nervous." Duke St. Gerian tilted his head and looked at Colin with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Colin shrugged and said, "I'm just a person favored by the gods, not a god. Of course I would be nervous, worried, and even afraid..."
"Don't worry, my lord will not favor a person who is doomed to failure." Duke St. Gerian took a few steps closer, and breathed in Colin's ear, "I also believe that you will definitely bring human beings to defeat powerful enemies." , regain lost ground!"
Colin smiled wryly to himself.
The Duke of St. Grian swept away the previous decadence, despair, and even hysteria because he believed that Colin, a divinely favored man, could lead mankind to victory.
But Colin himself knew that he was not some kind of god-favored person. Those were all lies woven by himself...
Of course, such words can only be kept in the bottom of my heart.
Facing the Duke of St. Grian, Colin could only put on an appearance of winning.
Suddenly felt a soft touch on his arm, and Colin turned his head to see that Duke St. Grian had already stuck to it, his face flushed as if he couldn't bear the strength of alcohol.
Ke Lin's heart fluttered, and he suddenly felt that it would be a good choice to vent the pressure before the battle...
But just when Colin was about to act, he saw Duke St. Grian moved away instead.
Um
flinched
While wondering, he heard footsteps behind him.
Only then did Ke Lin suddenly realize that when he turned around, he saw a messenger approaching quickly.
"Commander, there is news from the outposts in front that the vanguard of the orc army has been spotted!"
"Okay, I understand." Colin nodded, and then ordered, "Order the whole army, prepare to fight!"
"yes!"
Turning his head again, he saw that the will to fight was ignited in the eyes of Duke St. Grian.
Hey, it seems that I can't vent the pressure.
Colin took a deep breath, determined to vent all his anger on those damned orcs!
