The Original Vampire

[The blood of the troll warrior cannot improve his strength. 】

In the faint morning light, Colin recorded on the parchment.

That's right, he drank all the blood of the troll warrior he had hidden last night, but he didn't see any peculiar reaction from his body.

Does it have to be the blood of knights?

Colin was a little depressed, his eyes wandering around the camp.

Knight Raymond sat not far in front of Colin, sipping water.

This is not good, after all, he is his own loyal servant.

Knight Bliss is urging everyone to pack up and prepare to go.

This one doesn't work either, can't beat it.

Perhaps, you can go to the Mirror Lake battlefield to see...

However, it has been so long since that battle, the corpse would have already become a mummified corpse even if it was not eaten by the beast.

A familiar scent hit, interrupting Colin's wild thoughts.

"Good morning, Knight Colin."

"Good morning, Miss Vera."

Ke Lin looked at the female mage standing in front of him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"You look much better today. How are you feeling? Any help?"

"No, I should be able to do it myself today."

"Okay, if necessary, give orders at any time."

During the conversation, Colin's eyes gradually shifted to Vera's white and slender neck, and suddenly thought - I wonder if the blood of the mage will work...

Vera also noticed that Colin was staring at her neck, and was immediately a little embarrassed. She gave him a fierce look, and said coquettishly, "Let's go quickly, the Bliss Knight is already urging him."

"it is good."

Colin got on the war horse, and moved to Vera's side, walking side by side with her.

Intimate physical contact is the best way to bring men and women closer together.

Of course Colin knew this.

After yesterday's ride together, he was sure that he had occupied a place in Vera's heart.

She probably didn't even realize this.

Vera really wasn't really angry, and laughed and talked to Colin again.

The group continued to go north, and the road was much more peaceful, and they did not encounter the troll army again.

There were only a few thieves without eyes, and some wild beasts, but they were all taken care of easily by the Bliss Knights.

It seems that Colin's plan is indeed effective, and they have temporarily left the pursuers behind.

In order to conserve horsepower, the pace of the team's progress was gradually slowed down.

Colin also took the opportunity to quickly get to know Vera.

However, he still did not inquire about the true identity of the other party.

All she knew was that she had just returned to the north from Viel, and when she passed by the vicinity of Mirror Lake, she happened to meet a mercenary group that had received an urgent call from Marquis Charles, and then came to the Mirror Lake Camp.

Yeville, also known as the Arcane City, is located at the junction of the eastern border of the Radiance Empire and the Huiyue Forest. It used to be the territory of the elves, but since they retreated into the Huiyue Forest, they were occupied by mages.

Nominally, Yeville belongs to the Radiance Empire, but the highest authority in the city is the Mage Council, and neither the Duke of the East nor the Emperor of the Empire has any actual control over this arcane city.

Through the conversation, we learned that Vera went to Yeville to study arcane arts when she was very young, and has not returned to the North for more than ten years, and her familiarity with this place is not even as good as that of Ke Lin, who received the memory of her predecessor.

Moreover, it can be seen from the fact that Vera took the initiative to go to the Mirror Lake Camp to help when she saw the emergency call of Marquis Charles, and it can be seen that her relationship with the Saint Hilde family is probably very close.

There are indeed some nobles who like to find a mage to accompany them when they go to war. After all, although a mage cannot be singled out, it is indeed very useful on the battlefield.

However, considering the contradiction between nobles and mages, most arrogant mages would not pay attention to nobles.

And even if a few mages are willing to accept the employment of nobles, they will usually offer a very high price. It is unheard of for Vera to take the initiative to help when she sees the summons.

In the evening, the team camped again to rest.

But it didn't take long for the sentries who scattered to inquire about the situation to return in a hurry to report:

"Lord Bliss, there is a small group of human beings in the front, suspected to be the rout soldiers who escaped from the Mirror Lake battlefield!"

"Broken soldiers? Bring them here."

Hearing that there were rout soldiers escaping from the Mirror Lake battlefield, Colin and Vera quickly followed.

Now they urgently need to know what is going on in the Mirror Lake battlefield, and whether Marquis Charles' plan has been successful.

When the suspected team was brought to the camp, Ke Lin discovered that there were even old acquaintances among them!

"Dear Sir Knight, do you still remember me? I am Thrall of the Firefox Mercenary Corps, and you personally handed me the emergency summoning order of Lord Marquis!"

Bliss looked at Thrall, who was covered in embarrassment in the rout, and immediately recalled who this person was.

No way, after all, the act of this "big dutiful son" killing his father and joining the army was too impressive.

"How is the situation in Jinghu Camp?"

"It's miserable! It's so miserable!" Thrall immediately burst into tears, "There are too many trolls in the mountains and plains, they will kill anyone they see, and we can't beat them! Many brothers died... woo woo... It wasn't that I jumped into the lake because of the bad opportunity, I'm afraid I can't escape death..."

"Have you seen the army led by Lord Marquis?"

"Marquis Charles?" Thrall thought for a while. "Yes, yes, we did see a golden lion banner behind the troll army, but..."

"But what? Don't hesitate!" Bliss scolded impatiently.

"Yes, yes!" Thrall did not dare to hesitate any longer, so he had to tell him bluntly, "But the army led by the Marquis seems to... seems to have retreated..."

The crowd fell silent immediately.

retreat?

This is clearly Thrall's whitewashed claim.

The real situation should be defeat.

This bad news made everyone a little confused for a while.

Unexpectedly, just after getting rid of the chasing soldiers behind him, he had to face a more terrifying army of trolls ahead.

Just when everyone was digesting the bad news, Bliss suddenly asked, "Are there chasing soldiers behind you?"

Thrall quickly replied: "No. There was indeed a small army of trolls chasing us in the first few days, but then it gradually disappeared. Maybe we don't think we are important."

Bliss breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Vera: "Miss, what should I do next?"

Vera hesitated, then turned her eyes to Colin unconsciously.

Because she successfully helped everyone get rid of the chasing soldiers before, Ke Lin has gradually become the object of her reliance.

Colin glanced at the embarrassed group of soldiers, lowered his voice and said, "We still need to find out the movement of the troll army before we can make further plans. But now, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of it. These troopers!"

"Why? They are also human!" Vera exclaimed.

Colin rolled his eyes and explained patiently in a low voice: "The key to getting rid of the chasing troops before is because we are all cavalry soldiers with high mobility. Now if we don't abandon these two-legged soldiers... "

"Lord Knight! In the battle of Mirror Lake, our Firefox mercenary group was almost wiped out, but I am still willing to follow the Lord and avenge the dead brothers!" Thrall seemed to realize something and immediately shouted loudly.

Moreover, under his agitation, many defeated soldiers also shouted:

"That's right! Revenge for the brothers!"

"Sir, please lead us back!"

"Don't abandon us!"

"Vengeance! Revenge!"

...

Seeing that many cavalrymen were also incited, Colin had to shut up, and then stared at Vera with serious eyes, hoping that she could make the right choice.

However, Vera said to Colin with a straight face: "They are also companions, I will not leave them!"

Then, he turned to appease the excited soldiers.

Colin sighed helplessly, frowning and looking at the filial son.

Thrall just happened to look over.

As soon as the eyes of the two met, they immediately staggered.
