TOV14

This time Colin reported his real name.

Because he knew that these people in front of him were not the mud-legs of the Firefox Mercenary Group. If he used the false identity of "Kahn Sudor", the probability of being discovered was extremely high.

Moreover, he didn't know who wanted to kill him before.

Now, since he had guessed who the murderer was, there is no need to hide and observe.

There is only one thing he wants to do now - revenge!

"Angele?" The female mage frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She seemed to think where she had heard of this surname, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Lord of Greycastle Town, Baron Angele, Roaring White Bear." Knight Bliss reminded her aloud.

"That's right, this is my father."

Colin clapped his chest with his left hand, bowed halfway, and performed a standard noble courtesy.

The female mage hesitated, then got up and bent her knees, pressing her right hand on her lower abdomen, and holding the skirt of the mage's robe in her left hand.

Really!

There was a movement in Colin's heart, this female mage was really a noblewoman.

Hey, the mage among the nobles.

This is really interesting.

Moreover, looking at the respectful attitude of the knight Bliss next to her, and the attitude of desperate protection along the way, this female mage might still have a lot of relationship with the Saint Hilde family!

However, Colin also had no intention of delving into her true identity.

Nowadays, the relationship between the imperial nobles and the mage council is indifferent, and this female mage from the noble family is naturally an extremely embarrassing existence.

She has been hiding her face, and obviously she doesn't want others to know her true identity.

Colin got here with Xiao Bai's help, just hoping to establish a relationship with the true master of the North, the Saint Hilde family.

This is the key to his ability to avenge his predecessor and get himself out of the crisis completely.

"Unexpectedly, Knight Colin was also in Mirror Lake camp." Bliss looked at Colin blankly, with a trace of scrutiny in his indifferent eyes.

"It's time for the meeting." Colin responded vaguely, then changed the subject and asked about the purpose of his trip, "Just take the liberty to ask, how are we going to go next?"

"I don't know what suggestion the knight Colin has?" Bliss rhetorically asked without an answer.

Although Colin's identity gives him the qualification to join the discussion, it does not mean that he can automatically gain the trust of Bliss and others.

Colin didn't care about Bliss's precautions, but picked up a branch and drew a simple map on the ground:

"If I remember correctly, the closest big city to us is Fallen Eagle City. It's about four or five days away from the southeast. According to the current direction, it should be our destination, right?"

"Yes." Bliss saw that Colin was so familiar with the surrounding geographic environment, so he no longer denied him.

Colin smiled slightly, and the branch in his hand kept drawing circles on the dots representing Fallen Eagle City: "Then do you think, can we make it to the Fallen Eagle City?"

Bliss stopped speaking.

But Colin still caught a touch of unconfidence in his pretentiously determined eyes.

Fleeing this way, the cavalry squad of the St. Hilde family staying in Mirror Lake camp suffered heavy casualties, but the pursuits behind them seemed endless, and they were chasing more and more frequently.

Obviously, Bliss began to feel that the situation is not good.

"I don't know what suggestions the knight Colin has?" This time the female mage asked.

Colin smiled and drew a big X on the point representing Fallen Eagle City, and said flatly: "We can't go to Fallen Eagle City, that's a dead-end!"

The female mage furrowed her brows as if she was a little dissatisfied with Colin's assertion.

But the knight Bliss next to her asked, "Then which way do you think we should go?"

Seeing that Bliss didn't deny himself, Colin immediately understood that Bliss should have also noticed that a large net was quietly forming around them, and waited for them to bump into it.

Since Fallen Eagle City is their most likely escape direction, the trolls will inevitably set up heavy obstacles in that direction.

"Go north!" Colin drew a huge arrow on the ground, pointing straight to the north.

"North?" The female mage suddenly exclaimed, "Then we will turn back again!"

Right, if you go north, it is in the direction of the Mirror Lake.

Bliss was silent, staring at the simple map on the ground in a daze.

Colin raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the other party to stay calm, and then explained: "If you also think that going north is an impossible option, then it just means that the trolls also will not expect us to turn back."

"But... but isn't this... self-inflicted?"

"There is indeed a big net around us, and it is constantly tightening." Colin opened his right palm and instantly squeezed it. "However, the weakest part of this net is the north! If we want to break free, the best choice is to turn back and head north!"

"And..." Colin paused, "The real army of Marquis Charles should be also in the north."

Knight Bliss's eyes flashed, and he remained silent.

The female mage didn't have scruples about this, and there was no surprise that Colin could guess the battle intentions of Marquis Charles, but she directly asked: "Do you think that Marquis Charles has the hope of defeating the army of trolls?"

Colin spread his hands and shook his head.

He didn't even know how many troops the Marquis of Charles had, how effective his army was, what his commanding ability on the spot... etc., so how could he guess the outcome of the battle.

"Whether Marquis Charles wins or loses, it has nothing to do with us. Because, now, the first thing we need to do is to jump out of the encirclement that the chasing soldiers are weaving.

After jumping out, we can release the sentry to find out the information from Mirror Lake battlefield and then make further plans. That way, there is much more room for maneuver. "

The female mage thought for a while and felt that what Colin said had some truth.

But since she was a child, she has focused on arcane research and has no military education. She was undecided about Colin's rather bold suggestions, so she had to look for help at the knight Bliss beside her.

Bliss pursed his lips and thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "I agree."

Colin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although turning back and going north is indeed the best chance to break out of the net, the reason why he really doesn't want to move forward has not been said:

Ahead is Fallen Eagle City, and the biggest suspect in the murder of his predecessor - sister Caitlin is there!

If it was only Caitlin's conspiracy, then Colin wasn't actually too scared.

However, if Earl Uman, the lord of Fallen Eagle City, is also involved, then he is truly self-catching.

"Okay! Then we'll turn around tomorrow and go north!" Seeing that Bliss also agreed to Colin's plan, the female mage also made up her mind.

Later, she returned the kitten in her arms to Colin and asked, "Why is it called Xiao Bai?"

Colin smiled and took the pure blue shorthair cat: "Is the name Xiao Bai not good?"

"No, it's just...somewhat unexpected."

"Haha!" Colin smiled and replied intentionally, "Is it a good thing to always let others guess what you think?"

The female mage also laughed, and her big eyes were instantly bent into crescent moons: "It makes sense!"
