[The blood of the troll warrior cannot increase the strength. 】
In the faint morning light, Colin recorded on the sheepskin scroll.
Right, he drank all the blood of the troll warrior he had stolen last night, but he didn't feel any particular reactions in his body.
Does it have to be the blood of a knight?
Colin was a little depressed, his eyes scanning in the camp.
Knight Raymond was sitting not far in front of Colin, sipping water.
This is not good, after all, he is his loyal servant.
The knight Bliss is urging everyone to pack up and prepare to set off.
This doesn't work, I can't beat him.
Maybe you can go to Mirror Lake battlefield to see...
However, that battle has passed so long, even if the corpse was not eaten by the beast, it would have become a mummy a long time ago.
A familiar scent hits, interrupting Colin's cranky thoughts.
"Good morning, knight Colin."
"Good morning, Miss Vera."
Colin looked at the female mage standing in front of him, and involuntarily a smile appeared on his face.
"Your complexion looks better today. How do you feel? Do you still need help?"
"No, today I should be able to do it myself."
"Okay, if you need help, please tell me at any time."
During the conversation, Colin's gaze gradually shifted to Vera's white and slender neck, and suddenly thought - I wonder if the blood of the mage will work...
Vera also noticed that Colin was staring at her neck, and she was a little embarrassed. She gave him a fierce look, and said, "Hurry up, knight Bliss is already urging us."
"It is alright."
Colin stepped on the warhorse, leaned close to Vera, and walked side by side with her.
Intimate physical contact is the best way to bring men and women closer together.
Of course, Colin knew this very well.
After the ride yesterday, he was convinced that he had taken a place in Vera's heart.
I am afraid that even she herself is not aware of this.
Vera wasn't really angry, and she talked to Colin and laughed.
The group continued north, and the road was really peaceful, and there was no situation of encountering the troll army again.
There were only a few thieves who didn't have eyes and some wild beasts, but they were all easily taken care of by the knight Bliss.
It seemed that Colin's plan was indeed effective, and they had temporarily moved away from the chasing soldiers behind them.
In order to store horsepower, the team's forward speed gradually slowed down.
Colin also took the opportunity to get acquainted with Vera.
However, he still hadn't ascertained the true identity of the other party.
All he knew was that she had just returned to the north from Yevil, and when she passed by Mirror Lake, she happened to meet a mercenary group that had received an emergency call from Marquis Charles and followed to Mirror Lake Camp.
Yevil, also known as the Arcane City, is located at the junction of the eastern border of the Glorious Empire and the Radiant Moon Forest. It was once the territory of the elves, but since they retreated into the Radiant Moon Forest, it has been occupied by mages.
Nominally, Yevil belongs to the Glorious Empire, but the highest authority in the city is the Mage Council, and neither the Duke of the East nor the Emperor of the Empire has any actual control over this arcane city.
Through conversations, it was learned that Vera went to Yevil to learn arcane arts when she was very young. She has not returned to the North for more than a decade, and she is not as familiar with it as Colin, who has received the memories of his predecessor.
Moreover, from the fact that Vera saw Marquis Charles's emergency call order and took the initiative to help in Mirror Lake camp, it can be seen that she may have a very close relationship with the Saint Hilde family.
There are indeed some nobles who like to find a mage to accompany in the battle. After all, although the mage is not very useful in single fights, he is indeed very useful on the battlefield.
However, considering the contradiction between aristocrats and mages, most arrogant mages will not pay attention to the aristocracy.
And even if a few mages are willing to accept nobles' employment, they will generally pay a very high price. It is unheard of someone, like Vera, who will take the initiative to help when seeing a call-up order.
In the evening, the team camped and rested again.
But it didn't take long before the sentry, who had scattered to inquire about the situation, hurried back to report:
"Master Bliss, a small group of humans was found ahead, suspected to be the rout soldiers who escaped from the Mirror Lake battlefield!"
"Escaping soldiers? Bring them here."
Colin and Vera also hurriedly followed after hearing that the rout soldiers escaping from the Mirror Lake battlefield were in front of them.
Now they urgently need to know what is going on in the Mirror Lake battlefield, and whether the Marquis Charles plan was successful or not.
When the suspected defeated team was taken to the camp, Colin discovered that there were old acquaintances in it!
"Honorable Knight, do you remember me? I am Thrall of the Firefox Mercenary Group. You personally handed over the Lord Marquis emergency call to me!"
Bliss looked at Thrall, who was embarrassed in the defeated team, and immediately remembered who this man was.
There is no way, after all, this "great filial son" move to kill his father and join the army is too impressive.
"How is the situation in Mirror Lake battlefield?"
"Miserable! It's so miserable!" Thrall burst into tears immediately, "Trolls all over the mountains, there are too many, they kill people when they see them, we can't beat them at all! Many brothers died...uuu...if It’s not that I jumped into the lake at a good opportunity, I'm afraid I won’t be able to escape the death..."
"Have you seen the army led by Lord Marquis?"
"Marquis Charles?" Thrall thought for a while, "Yes, yes, we did see a golden lion flag appearing behind the troll army, but..."
"But what? Don't hesitate!" Bliss scolded a little impatiently.
"Yes, yes!" Thrall didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he had to tell him bluntly, "but the army led by Lord Marquis seems...seems to have retreated..."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Retreat?
This is obviously Thrall's whitewashing statement.
The real situation should be an escape.
This bad news for a while made everyone a little confused.
They didn't think that they had just got rid of the chasing soldiers behind them but faced a more terrifying army of trolls in front of them.
While everyone was still digesting the bad news, Bliss suddenly asked: "Are there chasing soldiers behind you?"
Thrall quickly replied: "No. In the first few days, there was indeed a small army of trolls chasing us, but then it gradually disappeared. Maybe they don't think that we are important."
Bliss was relieved and looked back at Vera: "Miss, what should we do next?"
Vera hesitated, then unconsciously turned her gaze to Colin.
Because before he had successfully helped everyone get rid of the chasing soldiers, Colin has gradually become her object of reliance.
Colin glanced at the embarrassed group of soldiers, lowered his voice, and said, "We have to find out the movement of the troll army so that we can make further plans. But now, the first thing we need to do is to get rid of this group of broken soldiers!"
"Why? They are also humans!" Vera exclaimed.
Colin rolled his eyes and patiently explained in a low voice: "The key to our ability to get rid of chasing soldiers before was because we are all cavalry and are extremely mobile. Now if we don't abandon these two-legged soldiers..."
"Master Knight! In the Battle of Mirror Lake, our Firefox Mercenary Group was almost wiped out, but I still want to follow the adults to avenge the dead brothers!" Thrall seemed to realize something and immediately shouted.
Moreover, under his clamor, many defeated soldiers also shouted:
"Right! Revenge for my brothers!"
"My lord, please lead us back!"
"Don't abandon us!"
"Vengeance! Revenge!"
...
Seeing that many cavaliers were also being incited, Colin had to shut up, and then looked at Vera with serious eyes, hoping that she could make the right choice.
However, Vera said to Colin with a straight face: "They are also companions, I will not leave them behind!"
After that, she turned around to appease the agitated soldiers.
Colin sighed helplessly, frowned and looked at the great filial son.
Thrall also happened to look over.
As soon as the two eyes met, they immediately staggered.
