The Original Vampire

Originally, Colin thought that the northern border of the Radiant Empire was already cold enough.

But now he discovered that compared with the sky ice field, the northern border is completely a big greenhouse.

It's almost the end of May now, and if you are in the north, you already have some summer feeling.

But in the sky ice field, it actually snowed.

It is no wonder that when the North had the absolute upper hand before, it did not continue to expand its territory to the north.

People from the north are really reluctant to come to such a bitter cold place.

In the whistling north wind, the swirling snow soon dyed the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.

The fifty thousand black cavalry army, like a raging black tide, is galloping north in the heavy snow.

The horse's hoof stepped on the ground, smashing the ice and snow, and dug out the cold and hard soil.

The rumbling sound of hooves, mixed with the sound of armor colliding, woven a murderous and tough melody with the accompaniment of whistling wind.

It has been more than half a month since I set off from Ice Rock City, but I have not encountered any troll army along the way.

This is not surprising.

When the trolls began to withdraw, the black cavalry was chasing slowly, and after delaying in Ice Rock City for so long, the trolls had long since withdrawn.

However, this time, the trolls have gained a lot from the siege of the city in the north, and they will definitely not be able to walk fast with the property obtained from these looting.

According to the current speed of the Black Cavalry's pursuit, Ke Lin estimated that if he didn't pursue the wrong direction, he should be able to catch up with the tail of the troll army in a few days.

Marquis Garcia is obviously aware of this, and in the past few days, the number of sentries sent out to investigate has increased significantly.

But the sky ice field is still too big.

The 300,000-strong army of trolls looks like a lot, but when thrown on this vast and vast ice field, it seems like a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, under such wind and snow, the traces left by the march will soon be buried, and it is basically a nonsense to follow the footprints.

Therefore, the first difficulty of this pursuit battle is to find the traces of the troll army on the vast ice field.

This requires a deep familiarity with the geography of the ice sheet, and a good understanding of the troll's possible retreat routes.

Anyway, Colin was blind.

He has never been so deep into the ice field of the sky, and he knows almost nothing about it.

Fortunately, there are big thick legs beside him - Marquis Garcia.

This is the real "Icefield God of War"!

Yes, the title was given to him by the trolls.

Being able to let the enemy give himself such a title is enough to show how terrifying Marquis Garcia is on the battlefield.

With such a great man by his side, Colin certainly wouldn't waste such a great opportunity.

Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Colin would come to Marquis Garcia from time to time to ask questions.

And Marquis Garcia actually took the trouble to answer them one by one every time.

Such patience, let alone Colin, even some high-ranking generals in the Black Cavalry Army are very jealous.

Some guys are even secretly inquiring, is Colin the illegitimate son of Marquis Garcia?

"Does uncle have a lover?"

Vera hid her little face deeply in the fox fur shawl, revealing only a pair of big, suspicious eyes.

"Yes." Colin said with an air of gossip, "I know that Lord Marquis has never been married, but doesn't he have a lover either?"

Yes, always being looked at by the black cavalry generals with a strange look, Ke Lin actually gradually began to doubt his own background.

"No." Vera shook her head, "As far as I know, my uncle never seemed to be overly affectionate with any lady. Moreover, I have never heard such rumors for so many years.

It feels... uncle is like an ascetic. "

"Okay." Colin was a little disappointed.

Originally, he thought that the protagonist who came from crossing over like himself,

Having a bizarre life experience is not a routine operation.

There is a terrific figure like Marquis Garcia as a father, and a terrific mother like an elf princess. One day, a grandfather who has never been masked suddenly appeared and died, and then left him a country to inherit...

"Cough cough..." The howling cold wind poured into Colin's mouth, interrupting his daydreams.

At this time, he suddenly realized that Marquis Garcia had no heirs.

Moreover, if it is true as Vera said, the Marquis is living the life of an ascetic monk, then he will probably not have any children in the future.

Then, who should inherit his title and territory?

Are you looking for an adopted child (daughter)?

This is a possibility.

However, there is another possibility.

Because, Colin suddenly realized that he might have guessed what the basis of trust between Marquis Garcia and Duke St. Hilde was.

He had always been puzzled before, why did these two brothers dare to act in this play?

You know, in that situation, everyone thought that the two brothers were really going to fight.

But who knows, it turned out to be a false shot in the end.

Such a tacit understanding, such a trust, makes it hard to believe that it will appear on this pair of brothers.

Because, if Marquis Garcia really intends to change the owner of the North, there is absolutely no need for him to lead the Black Cavalry into the Icefields of the Sky.

At that time, the Golden Lion Legion suffered heavy losses, and the lords of the north were dissatisfied with the Duke of St. Hilde because of the command error of the Marquis of Charles.

When in Ice Rock City, as long as Marquis Garcia moves south, he can easily capture Winter City.

He has this ability.

Duke St. Hilde of course also knows that his younger brother has this ability.

So, isn't he afraid that his brother will make a fake?

Unless, Marquis Garcia gave him some promise.

Of course, this promise is certainly not in words.

But substantial, irreversible commitments.

Extinction may be Marquis Garcia's promise to his brother.

If there is no descendant to inherit the title, what else is there to fight for?

This may be the basis of their mutual trust.

Just when Colin was thinking about it, a sentry sent back news-the trail of the troll army was found ahead!

Finally caught up!

Colin clearly felt that the soldiers suddenly became excited.

These warriors who have traveled thousands of miles in the wind and snow have no slack at this moment, no flinch, and some are just monstrous fighting spirit!

This is the No. 1 army in the North - the Black Cavalry!

However, Marquis Garcia's military order followed, but ordered the entire army to stop advancing and camp on the spot.

This is also normal.

After all, it is impossible to rush to the enemy as soon as they find the enemy.

That is not marching to fight, that is reckless.

A calm general will make further decisions after understanding the enemy's situation in detail.

Colin followed Marquis Garcia for a few kilometers and came to the place where the sentry found the enemy.

He carefully looked at the faint traces on the snow and judged:

"It seems that this should be the main force of the trolls, and it has only been a day or two in the past."

Over the past few days, Colin has been immersed in his eyes and humbly asked for advice, and he has mastered a lot of ice field tracking skills.

Marquis Garcia nodded, agreed with Colin's judgment, and then asked, "Then do you think we should continue to catch up?"

"Why not?" Colin was a little puzzled.

Isn't that what they traveled thousands of miles in the cold weather?

But Marquis Garcia shook his head:

"No. That's not our goal."
