TOV56
In late June, the Black Cavalry returned in triumph and finally returned to the north.
The army returned to the camp outside Ice Rock City along the original route.
Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Colin felt in a daze that the incident when he followed Vera two months ago to try to dissuade Marquis Garcia seemed to be yesterday.
The scenery remains the same, but everything is different.
At least, the army of 300,000 trolls has long been wiped out.
However, this does not mean that the northern border has calmed down.
Although Colin has not yet entered the city, he has keenly sensed the dignified aura surrounding the Ice Rock City.
"The summer in the north has always been stormy."
Earl Dawson next to him looked at the gloomy sky and said pointedly.
Colin took the wine pouch handed over by the other party, took a fierce sip, and then handed it back: "You said, Ice Rock City and the Golden Lion Legion, which party will send someone to our camp first?"
"I guess Ice Rock City. What do you think?"
"I guess it's Ice Rock City."
"No fun!" Earl Dawson rolled his eyes.
Colin glanced at the dwarf earl beside him amusedly, and said playfully: "Then, let's guess again, which party the Lord Marquis will accept?"
"I don't guess about this!" Earl Dawson rolled his eyes again, very wary of the cunning baron's son beside him.
Colin was not discouraged as he could not detect the tendency of the Marquis of Garcia from Earl Dawson, his eyes rolled, and he tried again:
"Then tell me, this time the Black Cavalry has made such a great contribution, how should the Lord Duke grant a reward?"
Earl Dawson smiled, knowing that he had heard Colin's temptation, and touched his beard and said:
"Master Marquis has no reward. I guess, Master Duke should allocate this credit to the generals of the Black Cavalry. Perhaps there will be another Marquis among us."
When the other party uttered the sensitive word "No reward", Colin stared at the dwarf earl's face carefully, but he didn't see any clues from it, as if it were just an extremely common word.
"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance! If you want to award a marquis title to the generals of the Black Cavalry, it must be you!" Colin smiled and congratulated.
Earl Dawson shook his head and smiled faintly, but there was no change in his expression.
I just don't know if he is pretending to be humble or disregarding this possible reward.
But Colin already understood what Earl Dawson meant.
Obviously, the other party had guessed that the Duke of the North might deal with the Black Cavalry.
If Earl Dawson is really named as a Marquis, although this is a great honor, it also means that he will be independent from the Black Cavalry.
Moreover, as the same Marquis, the Dawson family certainly can no longer continue their allegiance to the Marquis of Garcia, and their allegiance will become the Duke of the North.
In this way, perhaps the Black Cavalry will be divided into two.
Since Earl Dawson can guess the possible means of the Duke, can Marquis Garcia not guess?
How will he respond?
Colin suddenly felt that this big victory did not eliminate the haze shrouded in the northern sky, but instead made the hidden wind and thunder become more violent and more dangerous.
"Master Marquis!"
Colin was still looking at the dark clouds in the sky and fell into contemplation, but was suddenly awakened by Earl Dawson's greeting.
Looking back, he saw Marquis Garcia leading a group of people standing behind them.
"Master Marquis!" Colin also quickly turned back to salute.
The Marquis of Garcia nodded to the two of them, then pointed to a middle-aged man behind him and said to Colin:
"Colin, this is the knight Shire. He and the twenty-seven warriors behind me were seriously injured and are about to retire.
However, I hope you can provide them with a job so that they will not waste their remaining lives on farmland. "
"Yes, of course! It's my pleasure!"
Colin only felt a strong joy rushing to his head, making everything in front of him seem a little unreal.
The value of veterans, especially those retired from the Black Cavalry, cannot be measured by money!
Before Colin had realized that if he wanted to occupy a place in this world, he must have an elite army.
And after the baptism of this battle, Colin has been deeply fascinated by the cavalry.
However, although following Marquis Garcia all the way, Colin has a lot of experience in cavalry combat methods, but for the training of cavalry, Colin is at a loss.
And at this moment, the Marquis of Garcia offered such a great gift!
Although these twenty-eight veterans can't make it to the battlefield, they are good enough to be cavalry instructors.
They will be the seeds of the cavalry Colin dreamed of!
Until the knight Shire swore allegiance to Colin under the sign of the Marquis of Garcia, Colin was still immersed in excitement.
Only then did he notice that the knight Shire's right thumb was broken. This injury was not particularly serious, but for a knight, it meant the end of his career.
Because he had no thumbs, he couldn't hold any swords tightly.
"Choke!"
Colin drew the long sword, tapped it on the shoulder of the knight Shire, and accepted the allegiance of the opponent.
He was not disappointed because the knight Shire could no longer take the sword. On the contrary, in his opinion, the value of this knight was totally inestimable.
Even if there is a group of Tier 4 and Tier 5 knights standing in front of him, he would rather choose Shire.
Earl Dawson watched all this quietly, his eyes full of meaning.
When Colin accepted the allegiance of the knight Shire and the remaining 27 retired soldiers, he finally calmed down.
At this time, the idea that had troubled him before came up again.
This time, he could no longer suppress this thought, and directly asked Marquis Garcia:
"Master Marquis, I can't repay you for your help! But, I want to know... I am the son of a little baron, how can you care for me like that?"
Hearing this question, Earl Dawson, knight Shire, and others retreated wittily.
Marquis Garcia looked at Colin with a solemn look, and suddenly smiled, and said something completely irrelevant: "Vera has a good impression of you."
"Huh?" Colin was stunned.
"I saw that you had a diamond earring in your hand. She gave it to you, right?"
Colin blinked in a daze, remembering that he had taken out the earrings to play with while following the march of the Black Cavalry, but he didn't expect to be seen by Marquis Garcia.
Obviously, the Marquis of Garcia misunderstood.
However, Colin would not tell the other party that the earring was a souvenir that he drew from Vera through the opportunity, rather than a "letter of love" that Vera took the initiative to give him.
Seeing that Colin had no answer, Marquis Garcia thought the other party had acquiesced, so he asked: "Then do you like her?"
Colin was suddenly a little messy.
He could never have thought that the murderer who had just buried an army of 300,000 trolls himself suddenly became concerned about such a small matter of love.
Thinking of Marquis Garcia being Vera's uncle, perhaps just caring about his niece, Colin nodded and said, "Ms. Vera has a noble background and a kind heart. I naturally admire her very much."
The smile of Marquis Garcia was a little complicated, and he dropped a faint sentence:
"I am Vera's biological father."
"What?"
