Very clever answer.
Basically the same as no answer.
"Loyal to the St. Hilde family" does not mean that he is loyal to the current Duke of St. Hilde.
The Marquis of Garcia is also a member of the St. Hilde family.
In Colin's view, it doesn't matter what Ice Rock City finally coaxed into.
The master of the north will still only be born from the Saint Hilde family.
And the most important figure is actually Marquis Garcia.
Because the Black Cavalry, a terrifying army, has the power to make a final word.
Whether it chooses to help the Golden Lion Legion or chooses to help the lord coalition, the other party has no room for resistance.
Now, it depends on whether Marquis Garcia chooses to continue his allegiance to his brother, or decides to take the position of Lord of the North.
From the previous signs, the position of Marquis Garcia seems to be more inclined to the latter.
After all, he first accepted the invitation of the northern lords, entered Ice Rock City, and sent Earl Dawson to attend the meeting of lords and sign the petition.
This seems to clearly represent that Marquis Garcia is supporting the lord group.
However, Colin was not sure.
Because just two months ago, when everyone thought that Marquis Garcia was going to fight his brother, he led the Black Cavalry and directly destroyed the 300,000 army of trolls.
Who knows if the two brothers are acting again this time?
"Slippery!" Marquis Garcia chuckled, obviously not satisfied with Colin's cute answer.
So he changed the question: "If you were me, which side would you be on?"
Colin felt painful for a while and felt that Marquis Garcia was really hard to serve tonight, why he kept asking such life-threatening questions.
Moreover, this time, he seemed to be tricky.
After struggling for a long time, Colin had no choice but to choose the most upright answer: "If I were you, I would choose to be loyal to my oath!"
The footsteps of Marquis Garcia paused, and he took a serious look at Colin, as if he wanted to confirm whether the other party was sincere.
The so-called oath is naturally the pledge of the Marquis of Garcia to be loyal to the Duke of St. Hilde.
Therefore, Colin's answer basically was that he chose to stand on the side of the Duke.
"Oh? Really?" The Marquis of Garcia continued, "The oath? I have seen too many betrayals, and I no longer believe in the oath. Colin, you must give a better reason."
Colin regretted it very much now.
Why do you want to come out for supper? This is silly.
Moreover, he feels that the Marquis Garcia tonight is very abnormal, why does he keep asking himself such questions?
Unless……
Marquis Garcia himself was still not determined, so he kept asking Colin like this.
In fact, if Colin really stood in the position of Marquis Garcia, he would definitely choose to betray his brother.
He would not suffer from the duke, endure endless suspicion, and face constant suppression.
If he could control the Black Cavalry, he would definitely not give up the seat of Lord of the North to others.
However, he dared not utter this true idea.
Although it seems that the Marquis of Garcia seems to think so too.
But Colin's instinct told him that if he really said that, he would definitely lose the favor of Marquis Garcia.
Colin suddenly realized that, perhaps, this is the ultimate test of the Marquis for himself!
"There is no better reason, Lord Marquis!" Colin decided to take a gamble.
In his opinion, among all the high-ranking people, there is no one who would hope that his subordinate is a guy who doesn't keep his oath.
Betrayal is always the most taboo and vigilant thing for the superiors.
Therefore, Colin stopped and continued straightforwardly: "No matter what burdens I will bear, no matter what fate I will bear, I will never abandon my vows!
This is my basic ethics as a knight and the greatest glory of the Angele family! "
The Marquis of Garcia also stopped, looking at Colin with piercing eyes.
Colin also returned a calm gaze without fear.
The moonlight shone coldly in the forest, and the wind blew softly,
The leaves rustled.
After a long time, Marquis Garcia finally retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.
Colin blinked his aching eyes and quickly followed.
Has he passed the test?
He was a little puzzled.
Marquis Garcia said nothing but walked forward.
Not knowing how long they had gone, the two gradually went deep into the forest.
Just as Colin was thinking about whether to propose to go back to sleep, Marquis Garcia suddenly spoke again:
"The Black Cavalry will stand on the side of the Duke, and those lords will pay the price for their betrayal!"
Really!
Colin was shocked.
He was right!
This time it's a trap again!
Those lords who tried to make trouble were fooled by these two brothers again!
"Right! All betrayers deserve to die!" Colin immediately agreed.
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I didn't follow that group of people to make trouble, otherwise I would really die without a burial place.
Immediately, he began to gloat again.
Because among the group of lords who are in trouble, there is Earl Uman, and he seems to be the leading organizer!
Hey, let you send someone to assassinate me!
Let you covet the title of my house!
See how you die this time!
Just when Colin was thinking in his heart, Marquis Garcia spoke again:
"However, I made this choice not just because of the original oath."
"Then because of what?" Colin was suddenly curious.
Marquis García stopped again, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and whispered: "Actually, this is a plan that has been drawn up a long time ago. It has been implemented since three years ago."
"Three years ago?" Colin immediately thought of the big event that happened three years ago - Marquis Garcia was transferred back from the front line, and the Black Cavalry retreated from the front!
Is it?
"That's right." The Marquis of Garcia seemed to have guessed what Colin was thinking. "When I retreated from the front line, it was actually part of the plan."
Colin opened his mouth wide.
This secret directly made him dumbfounded.
Moreover, he finally strung everything together.
At this moment, he finally figured out the places that he had previously doubted and couldn't understand!
He suddenly felt cold all over.
Because such a huge plan, or conspiracy, turned out to be at the cost of 200,000 soldiers from the North!
And its targets are the trolls and the lords of the north!
Of course, Colin could understand when dealing with trolls.
However, when dealing with lords who were loyal to him, Colin couldn't understand.
Unless, the St. Hilde family is unwilling to share the northern territory with the lords...
The Lord Duke wants to take power!
"Unexpectedly, the Duke of St. Hilde was such a...foresighted person!" Colin hesitated for a moment, but still used a compliment.
But in fact, at this moment, he only felt a deep fear of the Lord Duke.
"This plan was not made by the Duke." Marquis Garcia denied Colin's guess.
"Who is that?" Colin asked curiously.
He felt that it might not have been made by Marquis Garcia. Colin knew from previous contacts that the Marquis was not a person who likes conspiracy.
Marquis Garcia whispered a name that Colin couldn't think of:
"Earl Uman."
"What?!"
Colin was dumbfounded again.
The share of gloat that had been hidden in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there is a deeper horror!
