Chapter 136： Allegiance

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone on the head of Silver Moon City, Colin still did not fall asleep.

After just listening to Knight Logger's detailed account of the situation of the Black Cavalry in the ambush, Colin had no intention of sleeping at all.

And Vera, who was worried about her uncle's safety, had just cried for a while, and finally couldn't hold back to fall asleep.

Colin gently put a blanket on Vera, then motioned to Knight Logger to follow him out.

The two came to the hallway outside the temple, and a half-elf maid carefully stepped forward and asked:

"Master Viscount, Master Knight, do you need breakfast?"

Colin doesn't have much appetite right now, but looking at Knight Logger's appearance, I'm afraid that I haven't had a good meal for some time, so he nodded and said: "Bring two copies here."

Soon, the maid came over with two dinner plates.

"Just put it on the ground." Colin didn't want to disturb Vera's sleep, so he sat down on the corridor steps.

Knight Logger obviously didn't care about these at this time, so he sat down beside Colin.

Seeing this, the maid had to place the dinner plate on the steps, and then quickly stepped back.

Putting some food into his mouth casually, Colin asked again: "So, the Marquis Dawson didn't say exactly who planned the ambush?"

"no."

"But the Marquis of Garcia once said that it was not planned by the Duke of St. Hild?"

"Yes."

Clin was at a loss again.

At first he was convinced that this was the conspiracy of the Duke of St. Hild from beginning to end, but he did not expect that the Marquis of Garcia would deny this possibility.

Why does the Marquis Garcia think that his brother will not count him?

The Black Cavalry in his hand had long been the biggest destabilizing factor in the North.

Colin had wondered before, why the Duke of St. Hilde planned to plot the half-elf kingdom, even the east, when the internal threat was not eliminated?

If the half-elf kingdom is just a decoy, and the real target is actually the black cavalry, then everything makes sense.

But why did Marquis Garcia believe that his brother was not behind the ambush?

If it wasn't the Duke of St. Hild, then who had instigated the Marquis of Dawson?

As if seeing Colin's doubts, Knight Logger asked: "My lord, do you suspect that the ambush was planned by the Duke of St. Hilde?"

Colin was silent for a moment, but shook his head: "Now that I think about it, it really seems unlikely that this ambush was planned by the Duke of St. Hild."

"Why?"

"The Duke of St. Hild can make the Marquis of Dawson betray the Marquis of Garcia. I don't doubt that. But how did he move the Eastern Army to cooperate with him in setting up an ambush in Shadow Canyon?

You know, this time the Northern Territory plots the half-elf kingdom, which has obviously touched the sensitive nerves of the Eastern Territory.

The St. Pros family might have been secretly guarding the Duke of St. Hild for a long time, how could it cooperate with his plan to help him clear the black cavalry?

They are not worried that Shadow Canyon is actually a trap dug for them by the Duke of St. Hild and his brother? "

After listening to Colin's analysis, Knight Logger nodded in agreement.

However, he rolled his eyes and asked in a seemingly casual tone: "But if the ambush against the Black Cavalry was really planned by the Duke of St. Hild, would the revenge you promised before still work?"

Colin was still thinking about who might be behind the scenes, and he didn't care too much about Knight Logger's question, so he answered casually:

"Of course it works. If the Duke of St. Hilde really does such an angry thing, then I will definitely ask for justice for the Marquis of Garcia!"

"Then you will kill Lord Duke for this?"

Colin looked up at Knight Logger, and suddenly realized that this was actually a good opportunity to subdue this remnant black cavalry army.

Eight thousand black cavalry!

It is definitely a military force that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, he answered very simply: "If the Marquis Garcia dies in this ambush, then I will definitely find ways to get the man behind the scenes to pay for his life, even if this person is the Duke of St. Hild!"

Knight Logger's eyes flashed, as if he was excited and hesitated.

After a while, he asked again: "Who do you think is appropriate to inherit the position of Lord of the North after the death of Duke St. Hilde?"

Colin frowned, thinking this Logger Knight was a bit strange.

Why does he still care about this kind of problem?

According to the judgment of the Marquis of Garcia and the reasoning of Colin just now, the Duke of St. Hilde has basically cleared the suspicion. Why did the Logger knight start to care about the things after the killing of the Duke?

Looking at the other party's serious look, Colin thought that the Logger Knight had received too much stimulation, and he became a little abnormal.

"I think Miss Vera is very suitable to inherit the position of Lord of the North." Colin said directly this time.

Moreover, there is still the idea of ​​testing the Knights of Logger.

Hearing Colin's answer, Knight Logger seemed to be relieved and smiled: "I feel so too."

Such an attitude made Colin immediately realize that this Knight Logger was also someone who knew the true relationship between Vera and Marquis Garcia!

Otherwise, according to the noble inheritance rule, Joyce, the third son of the Duke, is ranked ahead of Vera.

Therefore, this reaction of Knight Logger can only show that he also knows Vera's true identity.

As the knight of the Marquis Garcia, he of course prefers Vera.

However, this is actually not too surprising.

When the Marquis of Garcia was in danger, he let Knight Logger lead his troops out of the siege, which obviously showed that Knight Logger was a trusted confidant, and knew that Vera's true identity was normal.

Just when Colin was about to test whether Knight Logger knew who Vera's biological mother was, Knight Regal strode in and reported:

"Master Viscount, there is news from Shadow Canyon."

"How is it?" Knight Rogue couldn't help but asked in a hurry The Black Cavalry in the gorge was annihilated, and the Marquis Garcia was captured by the Pegasus Legion. "

Hearing such news, Knight Logger's eyes instantly turned red.

The blue veins in his right hand holding the sword violently squeezed the hilt of the sword.

Colin sighed and comforted: "Although this is not good news, at least it is not the worst. After all, Marquis Garcia is still alive, and we still have a chance to redeem him."

"Yes!" Knight Logue raised his head, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes.

Knight Rego touched his bald head and said, "My lord, in fact, there is still bad news from Shadow Canyon."

"What's the bad news?"

"The Eastern Legion that annihilated the Black Cavalry is currently heading towards Silvermoon City, and it is expected to arrive in about five days."

Colin straightened his eyes and asked quickly: "How many of them are there?"

"About one hundred thousand or so."

"One hundred thousand?" Colin was a little worried.

However, looking at the ardent Knight Rogue next to him, and thinking about the careful guidance of Marquis Garcia to him, and the half-elf kingdom that was finally brought under his control, Colin took a deep breath and said powerfully. :

"What are you afraid of! Then fight! They dare to come to Silvermoon City. Isn't this a chance for revenge!"

"Okay!" Knight Rogue replied loudly, then no longer hesitated, knelt on one knee, and held the saber with both hands in front of Colin.

"Dear Viscount Anglia, I would like to swear allegiance to you! As long as you are willing to avenge the Marquis Garcia, the eight thousand black cavalry will be driven by you too!"

Colin's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the sword of Knight Logger and nodded on his shoulder:

"I, Colin Anglia, accept your allegiance!"
