Ke Lin stood in front of the window, listening to the sound of fighting in the distance getting closer and clearer, but there was no expression on his face.
He stared straight at the night sky outside the window, but his eyes didn't have any focus.
But with the sound of pushing the door, Colin immediately came back to his senses.
"Prince Leahy." Colin turned around and smiled at the visitor, as if he had already expected the arrival of the visitor.
Prince Lexi was quite surprised by Ke Lin's calmness, he was taken aback for a moment before he nodded, and said:
"Count Angelet."
"I don't know what's the matter with His Royal Highness coming to see me so late?" Ke Lin calmly raised his hand to signal Prince Lexi to take a seat, and even poured him a glass of water.
Prince Lexi didn't sit down, but stood at the door expressionlessly, and said straightly:
"I'm here to kill you!"
Having said that, Prince Lexi paused for a moment, and carefully observed Colin's reaction.
But to his disappointment, Colin's expression didn't fluctuate at all, as if he didn't realize that his life had been threatened—and it was threatened by a paladin.
Colin smiled faintly and said:
"Your Highness, I want to know why you want to kill me?"
"The death of Emperor Reinhardt, don't tell me that you have nothing to do with it. Besides, why did the Central Army suffer the most losses in the Loire Valley Battle?" Without waiting for Colin to defend, Prince Lehi blocked all retreat routes, "You don't have to argue with me, it will only make me look down on you."
Ke Lin spread his arms and said, "So, I can only sit and wait to die?"
Prince Lexi hesitated for a moment, then his tone softened a little:
"For the sake of your outstanding contribution to the empire, I can give you a way out, as long as you promise me three conditions."
"What conditions?"
"First, divorce the Duke of the Northern Territory and announce the renunciation of the title and territory of the Northern Territory; second, disband the Blood Cavalry Army; third, swear allegiance to the royal family. Don't worry, after you are loyal to the royal family, I will guarantee that you can be granted the title The Marquis also obtained a territory equivalent to a title in the Crimson Flame Territory."
"I refuse." Colin said without hesitation.
Prince Leahy's condition seems to be to help Colin promote his title, but in fact it is forcing him to make a complete cut with the forces currently under his control and become a vassal of the royal family.
It is said to be a vassal, but in fact it is a slave.
Without enough strength to support him, Ke Lin could only be at the mercy of the royal family.
No matter how stupid he was, he would never agree to such a condition.
"You don't need to think about it again?" Prince Lexi's tone became cold again.
"No need." Colin said firmly.
As soon as the words fell, Prince Lexi's momentum suddenly changed.
In the darkness, his eyes lit up with a golden light.
Ke Lin didn't even see the trajectory of the opponent's attack clearly, and was shocked to find that a long sword condensed by holy light had already stabbed him in front of him.
Fortunately, he was prepared, and the paladin Blood Slave rushed out of the shadows at the same time Prince Lexi locked him.
For a time, the wind was strong and screamed harshly.
Prince Lexi's gaze was fixed, and he quickly changed his tactics.
boom!
With a loud noise, the two sanctuary experts collided head-on in front of Colin.
Circles of invisible ripples bloomed rapidly, and the terrifying aftermath of the battle caused tiny cracks to appear all over Ke Lin's body who was close at hand.
He suppressed the horror in his heart, and retreated abruptly.
And the one who was even more astonished than him was actually Prince Lexi.
He thought that after transferring the Duke of St. Grian, he could easily handle Colin, but he never expected that there would be a strong man in the sanctuary beside Colin!
And, still a paladin!
There is only one paladin among the trolls, and that is Prince Otto.
But isn't Prince Otto already besieged and killed by the Blood Cavalry Army on the Sky Ice Field
Doubts flashed in Prince Lexi's heart, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
The white-gold holy light on the long sword suddenly surged, spreading wildly from the blade like a living thing, but it was immediately blocked by a purple-black force.
Holding a long knife, the paladin Blood Slave launched a stormy attack on Prince Lexi with a crazy posture of advancing but not retreating, attacking but not defending.
Prince Lehi was forced to retreat again and again, tired of parrying.
It's not that Prince Lehi is weak, but that he can see that the paladin in front of him is really desperate.
He has seen all kinds of opponents, experienced countless life-and-death fights, and encountered many styles of fighting with his life.
But those were all bluffs, which looked bluffing, but in fact, as long as a sword was stabbed at the vital point, they would still return to defense.
However, the paladin in front of him was really fighting for his life. He completely gave up defense and only focused on offense.
Prince Lehi tried several times to regain the offensive and defensive momentum, but all failed, and he was always suppressed and beaten.
In fact, there is not much difference in strength between the two, but Prince Lexi was completely suppressed in terms of momentum.
The crazy posture of the paladin made Prince Lech couldn't help but think of Emperor Reinhardt on the battlefield in the Loire Valley.
At that time, the originally cowardly emperor showed uncharacteristically fearless madness.
Could it be... This paladin, like Emperor Reinhardt, has been controlled by Colin Angelet
Yes, it must be so.
Otherwise, as Colin, the destroyer of the troll empire, how could a paladin die for him!
At this time, Prince Lexi realized that it was impossible for him to kill Colin Angelet today. On the contrary, if he was not careful, he might even be killed by this puppet paladin.
Thinking of this, Prince Lexi no longer had the will to fight, so he turned around and fled outside.
However, at the next moment, three armored men rushed in from the door, blocking Prince Lexi's retreat.
"Go away!"
Prince Laixi shouted angrily, and slashed out with a sword.
The fierce sword light slanted down like moonlight, which looked beautiful but lurked extreme danger.
However, the three armored men who rushed out had no intention of avoiding them at all.
Chi!
In front of this sword light, the fine gold armor was instantly torn apart like paper.
The fierce sword light continued to penetrate, almost cutting off the three armored men in half.
A large amount of blood spewed out like a spring, but they still blocked the door, and even took out their weapons to attack Prince Lexi.
Prince Lexi hurriedly parried, but at the same time, the pursuit of the paladin behind him had already been killed.
With the afterimage of tearing space, the black blade slammed on Prince Lexi's back shoulder.
prickly—
A large amount of golden blood spilled into the air, and Colin, who was watching, couldn't help but licked his lips.
Prince Laixi let out a muffled snort, his eyes flashed golden light in an instant, dense golden lines quickly covered his face, and a terrifying aura swept out, sending the three armored men blocking the door flying away.
With a fiery flame, the golden long sword swept across the sky at a strange speed, and pierced into the chest of the paladin Blood Slave!
However, the next moment, the paladin Blood Slave did not retreat but advanced, allowing the long sword to penetrate his heart, and at the same time cut Prince Lexi's throat with his long knife!
