"Yes, you are right."
Colin wanted to deny it, but for some reason, he chose to be honest.
"What?" Vera widened her eyes, as if she knew the young knight in front of her for the first time, "Then...what about the plan? The suspect made the illusion of crossing the river, but actually hid in the most dangerous river bend... ...didn't you mean that the most dangerous place is the safest..."
"That's all to lie to you." Colin looked into the eyes of the female mage. "Those wolf cavalries have been tricked by us before. How could it be so simple to fool them again?"
"You..." Vera took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
She had no lack of courage, and it was just because the hope of escape was suddenly shattered, that she had made a gaffe.
"What are you doing this for?"
Vera's expression was complicated, and the glorious image that Colin had previously established in her heart was collapsing.
"We can't run away." Colin sighed, and his tone gradually became cold. "From the moment you made the decision not to abandon the rout soldiers, you should have this consciousness.
This is a life-and-death battlefield, which cannot tolerate kindness and innocence!
Even if we deceived the chasers and made them think that we really crossed the river north, but how long can we deceive them?
They are wolf cavalry, but we are dragged down by a large group of infantry. After they cross the river, if they find that something is wrong, and then it will take a day or two to catch up again.
We cannot avoid this battle!
Therefore, since fighting cannot be avoided, the only thing we can do is to choose the most advantageous place for fighting."
Colin pointed his finger to his feet, and said in a deep voice, "This is the most dangerous place, but it is also the place where we have the most chance of winning!"
"Why?" Vera felt that she no longer dared to trust Colin.
Colin still didn't answer, and Bliss had already spoken: "Because here, we have nowhere to escape."
"That's right!" Colin took a deep look at Bliss. "Only the rabbits that are forced to the corner will turn their heads and bite, and the same goes for the broken soldiers.
If we are overtaken by wolf cavalry in the open field, then there is no doubt that as long as the other side charges, the broken soldiers that we gathered will inevitably collapse, and then fled around.
Therefore, there must be no way for them to escape.
Since we don't want to abandon them, we must not let them abandon us!
Either we will win a battle, or we will die here together! "
Colin's loud remarks made Vera upset.
She didn't know how to evaluate the young knight in front of her.
She doesn't know if what he did was right or wrong.
Whether it was her childhood in Winter City or her schooling in Yevil Tower, everything Vera met was simple and beautiful.
Of course, this is also because of her noble status and because she is well protected.
However, Vera also knows about evil.
However, she had never met someone like Colin.
A brave and fearless knight? A resourceful genius? Elegant and polite gentleman? The devil who plays with people's hearts?
...
She didn't know which one was his true face.
Or all of them?
Compared to Vera, who was not fully mature, Bliss's reaction was much simpler.
The battle-tested knight pays more attention to practical results: "The strategy, are you sure that it will be effective? You know, Marquis Charles had a similar plan."
"You are talking about the Battle of Mirror Lake?" Colin seemed to have known what Bliss would ask.
"Right."
"Yes, I must admit that this strategy of mine was inspired by the Marquis of Charles." Colin earnestly said. In fact, he rolled his eyes early in his heart.
Fighting against the water, breaking the boat, setting the dead and resurrecting, and other battles have long been nothing in another time and space.
Old ideas.
But in this time and space, it hasn't appeared yet.
The arrangement of Marquis Charles in Mirror Lake does have the rudiments of the last stand.
But in Colin's view, Marquis Charles's handling of details was terrible.
The details, however, determine success or failure.
Han Xin was able to fight the classic example of a last-ditch fight in Jingxing, but Ma Di could only defeat the street pavilion and become an eternal joke.
Colin was confident that he would not become another Ma Di.
Bliss obviously didn't have such confidence, and continued to ask with a cold face: "The strategy of Marquis Charles did not succeed in Mirror Lake. Why do you think you can use a similar strategy to succeed in the running river?"
"Because Marquis Charles made two big mistakes!
First of all, his heart is not ruthless enough! Although Mirror Lake is on the back, it is not really a desperate situation. Just think about the defeated soldiers. Many of them escaped by jumping into the lake.
Therefore, I chose this bend of the rushing river.
It is surrounded by water on three sides, the current is rapid, and the downstream is the waterfall cliff, there is no escape, it is a real desperate situation.
Here, they can only fight to the death! "
Bliss's expression moved slightly, and he continued to ask: "Then what about the second mistake?"
"The second mistake of the Marquis is that there are no people left in the Mirror Lake camp who can lead those miscellaneous soldiers in a desperate fight." Colin waved his hand to Bliss, "I'm not saying you are not qualified..."
"I really don't have the qualifications, and I also escaped." Bliss didn't mind at all.
Colin admired the knight Bliss more and more, nodded and continued:
"Under the circumstances at the time, Mirror Lake camp needed a nobleman with sufficient prestige, a lord with a knighthood, in order to stabilize the temporary conscripts, let them resist, and create enough trouble for the trolls.
In this way, the Marquis of Charles led his army to enter from behind the trolls, and flanked by both sides, only to have a chance of winning.
It's a pity, the Marquis does not have enough people to leave in Mirror Lake camp...
But we will not make such a mistake! "
Having said that, Colin took a step forward, approached Vera, and stared closely at her eyes: "So this time, I will stay in the river bay as the first heir to the Baron Graycastle and live or die with the soldiers.
Miss Vera, I don’t know you..."
"Of course I will stay," Vera said without hesitation.
At this time, she had decided to trust Colin again.
Of course, she has no other choice.
Everyone here was actually calculated by Colin.
Colin nodded and turned to Bliss: "Knight Bliss, please lead the cavalry to stay away from the river for a while. When the trolls attack us, you will lead the army to attack them from behind!"
Bliss's eyes flashed: "Why don't I stay in the river bend, you lead the cavalry..."
"No!" Colin immediately rejected Bliss's proposal, because he knew it was Bliss's temptation.
Those who stay on the frontal battlefield are in the most danger, but those who lead the cavalry have the possibility of escape.
Therefore, in order to make the other party believe in himself, Colin can only choose to stay: "The people who stay in the river bend need to have enough weight. I am more suitable to stay than you. Moreover, those cavalrymen are your subordinates, if you lead them they can better exert their combat effectiveness."
Bliss's eyes changed slightly as if it was only then that he recognized that Colin had passed his test, and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Colin glanced at Vera again: "I know you are noble, so if you can reveal your true identity before the battle, then it will greatly inspire those soldiers.
Of course, if you have concerns, I won’t force it..."
Vera was stunned, she didn't speak.
Just when Colin thought that the other party was unwilling, he heard a clear and firm voice:
"It is alright!"
