Chapter 176： Offer advice

"Dear Viscount Anglia, I haven't seen you for a long time, your style is better than ever!"

When Colin saw the former Marquis of the North again, he almost didn't recognize him.

In less than a year, Charles seemed to have completely changed.

Without the pride and shrewdness of the past, Charles is now exactly what a weather-beaten frontline knight should look like.

Cold and serious.

His attitude towards Colin has also completely changed.

There is no longer a touch of deliberate closeness as before, but a little alienated.

It seemed like an ordinary knight was visiting the lord of Ice Rock City.

However, to be honest, it is not too strange that Charles has such a change.

The drastic change like that at the beginning is enough to completely change a person's temperament.

"Your Excellency Charles! I am so happy to see you in Ice Rock City!" Colin smiled and shook hands with Charles.

The opponent's hand was a little cold.

"Sit down, please."

"Thank you Viscount Angele!"

The overly polite Charles showed made Colin slightly uncomfortable.

Even if Charles was no longer the former Marquis of the East, Colin didn't dare to treat him like an ordinary knight based on his surname.

"The sky ice field must be difficult at this time, come, drink some strong wine, and go to the cold." Colin said and poured a glass of rum for Charles himself.

Charles thanked again, then drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Charles looked solemnly and said solemnly: "Viscount Angley, let's not tell you, I violated my father's order this time and sneaked back to the north. I hope that this will not bring you too much. trouble."

"Of course not." Colin smiled and waved his hand, and at the same time he was curious about what was it that made the eldest son of the duke sneak back to him.

If it was the former Marquis of Charles, perhaps he would have to greet Colin for a long time, make a good connection and go around a big circle to explain his intentions, but now this completely changed Charles, he did not go around with Colin at all, and said straightforwardly. :

"I came to Ice Rock City this time to remind you that the Troll Empire is just about to move, trying to move its troops south! Once they go south again, only the few people currently deployed by the Golden Lion Corps on the front line will not be able to stop them. ."

Colin's eyes condensed for an instant, and his face became solemn.

However, he was not too surprised in his heart.

Now that the Northern Territory is about to be in chaos, it would be strange if the Troll Empire did not move.

Although the main force of the troll empire was wiped out by the Black Cavalry last time, at such a good opportunity, even if the troll emperor was smashing the pot and selling the iron, he would definitely have to piece together an army to fish in the troubled waters of the North.

"Why did you tell me this news specifically? Shouldn't you tell your father?" This is where Colin really puzzled.

"The messenger of the Golden Lion Legion will set off for Winter City tomorrow to inform his father of the news. But..." A trace of pain flashed in Charles's eyes, "However, as far as the current situation in the North is concerned, my father will know. In this matter, it is also difficult to dispatch troops to the firmament ice field."

Colin nodded silently, apparently agreeing with Charles' judgment.

The St. Hild family is indeed very weak now. It may not be safe to fight against the rebelling Marquis Dawson and the Earl of Uman, not to mention the suppression of the slave rebellion caused by the famine, and there is no way to draw the army to deal with the eagerness. Oh troll.

"His Excellency, I can understand your concerns, but it is difficult for me to help you too much..."

"Uncle Garcia's black cavalry is in your hands, right?"

"Yes. But after the battle of Shadow Canyon and a battle in Silvermoon City, today there are only more than 6,000 black cavalry left, and they are no longer in their peak power."

"Enough!" Charles said categorically, his piercing eyes fixed on Colin, and continued, "Don't you want to listen to my advice?"

Colin hesitated, but nodded and said, "Please tell me."

Charles's body leaned forward slightly, his face showed some eagerness, and he said:

"In order to be able to reap enough benefits in the upcoming chaos in the northern territory, this time the troll emperor has conscripted almost all the remaining combatable soldiers in the empire. It is estimated that there will be a hundred thousand people.

And the first stop for them to go south is likely to be your Ice Rock City! "

Hearing this, Colin frowned slightly.

However, he did not refute it.

Because of the geographical location of Ice Rock City, it is indeed very likely to become the first northern city to be attacked by the troll army.

Seeing the change in Colin's face, Charles quickly speeded up his speech: "So, Lord Viscount, it's actually very difficult for you to get out of the business this time!

My advice to you is that instead of passive defense, it is better to attack! "

Colin raised his brows and finally spoke: "How to take the initiative?"

"Of course it is with the Black Cavalry in your hand!" Charles said in a persuasive way. "This time the Troll Empire has almost dispatched all the combatable soldiers, then the empire must be empty!

Therefore, as long as you dispatch the black cavalry, with the super mobility of the cavalry, you can completely sweep the troll empire before the troll army arrives in the north!

You can even take the opportunity to capture the Troll King City and cut off the head of the Troll Emperor!

At this time, if you lead your army to a triumphant victory, you will also have time to return to Ice Rock City before the troll reaches the north.

At this time, you only need to hang the head of the troll emperor on the head of the city, and the troll army will naturally disperse without attack! "

After listening to Charles's advice, Colin fell into a long silence.

Striding thousands of miles to hit Huanglong, this seemingly brilliant trick, but also hidden great risks.

Moreover, Colin also realized that Charles's real intention was probably to capture the Troll King City with the help of the Black Cavalry.

In this way, he can wash away his shame and return to the North in an open manner.

Seeing Colin's silence, Charles spoke again, and his tone of intimacy regained his former intimacy: "Colin, think about it, what an honor it is to break the Troll King City! Even Garcia The Marquis, leading the Black Cavalry at its peak, also failed to achieve such a record!

Such a god-given opportunity, such a monstrous feat, you are already at your fingertips!

Think about it, as long as you can capture the Troll King City, you will become the hero of the Northern Territory, no, even the entire Glory Empire!

It is more than enough to make an earl, and even the rank of marquis is not impossible. "

Looking at Charles with eager eyes, Colin also expressed his heart, but he cautiously said: "Charles, this plan of yours is of great importance, and I still need to think about it."

"Of course. Then I'll wait for your good news." Charles was a little disappointed, but he still smiled strongly, "However, I guess the time for the trolls to dispatch troops will be within these two months. You'd better make a decision as soon as possible. ."

"it is good."

After sending Charles away, Colin walked back and forth in the room with a solemn expression.

To be honest, he was not so eager for Charles's strategy.

If they succeed, the glory will be divided equally between them, but if they fail, the bitter fruit will be swallowed by Colin alone.

This kind of business that loses money can only be done by fools.

Moreover, Colin had some doubts whether this strategy was invented by the Duke of St. Hild, and the purpose was to drive Colin to help him relieve the threat of the troll.

If this is the case, then Colin would not easily become a knife in the opponent's hand.
