The Original Vampire

As soon as it was dawn, everyone began to pack up and prepare to go.

As the wolf cavalry's trail drew nearer, restlessness began to spread among the fleeing ranks.

Thrall wrapped the half hare left over from yesterday and stuffed it into his arms, ignoring the constant whispering companions beside him, but looked around in the camp, looking for the beautiful figure.

Soon, Thrall locked on the target.

But unfortunately, there was another man standing beside the figure.

Thrall touched the left side of his face, and the welt on it was still aching.

Companion Bam looked at Thrall who was in a trance and couldn't help sneering: "Okay, Thrall, don't look at it. That noble lady is not something that a civilian mercenary like you can achieve."

"Who said mercenaries can't like noble ladies?" Thrall retorted impatiently.

"Haha, do you really understand the status gap between commoners and nobles? Silly boy!"

"Don't call me a fool again!" Thrall stared back at Bam viciously.

"Okay, okay." Bam shrank his head in fright and quickly apologized.

Thrall let go of the other party, his eyes followed the figure again, and said in a deep tone: "Bam, do you know Earl Uman?"

"Of course I do, Lord of Fallen Eagle City."

"Yes, then do you know how Earl Uman got his title?"

"Didn't it be passed on to him by his father?"

"Yes. Then, do you know how his father's title came?"

"His grandfather passed it on." Bam felt that the question was a little silly.

"No." Thrall shook his head slowly, "His grandmother passed it on to his father."

"So what?" Bam scratched his hair like a bird's nest, confusion written all over his face.

"Why is it passed down by my grandmother instead of my grandfather?" Thrall's eyes flashed strangely, "Because Earl Uman's grandfather was actually a civilian mercenary!"

"How is that possible?" Bam exclaimed.

"But that's what it is.

Earl Uman's grandfather married the daughter of the former lord of Fallen Eagle City as a mercenary. Later, the son of the lord of Fallen Eagle City passed away unfortunately, and his title was passed on to Earl Uman's grandmother, and then passed on. It was given to the count's father—that is, the son of the mercenary! "

Bam opened his mouth wide, as if listening to a fairy tale.

There was a strange light in Thrall's eyes, something called ambition.

He approached Bam and lowered his voice, as if making an oath: "So, the son of a mercenary can also become a noble!"

After speaking, Thrall strode towards the direction of the figure.

Bam stared blankly at the tall back of his companion, feeling complicated.

However, what Thrall did not tell Bam was that the mercenary who married the earl's daughter was a sixth-order soldier and the president of the Northern Mercenary Union. people".

"Ms. Vera, good morning! Knight Colin, good morning! Allow me to lead your horse as an apology for offending you yesterday."

Ke Lin looked at the mercenary with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes in front of him, and felt bored for a while, and waved his hand as if he was waving a fly: "No need."

"Aren't you willing to accept my apology?" Thrall immediately made a look of grievance, and then deliberately showed the left side of his face, with a trace of blood oozing from the whip.

"Kolin, a real knight should know how to forgive." Vera seemed to be deceived by the pitiful appearance of the mercenary disguise, and she even opened her mouth to help.

Thrall's heart is happy, but at the same time it is a pain.

The happy thing is that Miss Vera will speak to help him clear the siege.

What hurts was that she actually called Colin's name without adding the "knight" suffix!

This is a very intimate way of addressing.

So unreserved!

"No, I think it's overkill to ask the head of the Firefox Mercenary Corps to lead the horse for me. In fact, I happen to have a more important task for Head Thrall."

"You look at me too highly..." Thrall instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"Why, don't you want to help me?" Colin wouldn't give the other party a chance to refuse.

"I... Of course I do, it's my honor." Thrall had to bite the bullet and agree, but he had already begun to regret it in his heart.

"Very good!" Colin grinned, revealing sharp teeth, "In order to get rid of the pursuers behind us, we need to mislead each other so that they can't understand our true movements.

So, in a moment, please lead fifty people -- pick the young, strong and fast -- all the way north. After about 20 or 30 kilometers, you will reach the banks of the River Run.

At this time, you should deliberately leave some traces of crossing the river, but in fact, you don’t need to actually cross the river, but quietly follow the Benliu River all the way to the east, and you can join us after about a dozen kilometers.

Of course, when you go down the river, you must eliminate the traces of the march and not attract the enemy!

do you understand? "

Thrall broke into a cold sweat when he heard it, and felt more and more that Colin was avenging his personal revenge, looking for an excuse to get rid of himself: "You, are you asking me to be the bait?"

"No, it's not a bait, it's a suspect!" Colin said sternly, "Also, we will cooperate with your actions. As long as you do exactly what I say, there will be no danger."

"How to cooperate?" Thrall was still worried.

Collin frowned suddenly.

If this is in the regular army, Thrall dares to ask such a question, and the coach can directly chop his head.

Because the coach is not obliged to explain his overall strategy to each of his generals.

After each general receives the military order, he only needs to act according to the requirements of the military order.

Instead of asking questions, hesitating, picking and choosing.

Even if the coach really assigns you a mission to die, you can only execute it.

The military orders are like mountains, even if they really want to crush you, you can't hide!

Unconditional obedience is the military's first priority.

But obviously, a mercenary like Thrall cannot have the qualities of a real soldier.

Colin was very helpless and had to explain patiently:

"Our cavalry will all disperse, search and destroy the sentries of the wolf cavalry behind us, ensuring that the other party will not be able to understand our specific movements within a day or two. Therefore, as long as you hurry up, you will not be caught."

Thrall thought for a while, and then asked: "So, your plan is for me to lead a small group of troops to deliberately make the illusion of crossing the river to confuse the enemy, while the large group finds a place to hide?"

"That's right."

"Then how do you know that the enemy will be fooled? No matter how carefully we clean up the traces of the march, as long as we investigate carefully, we will always find clues."

"Because, we will be hiding in a place where the enemy will never think of it."

"Where?"

Colin gradually became impatient: "Mr. Sal, have you been to the River Run before?"

"No."

"Then you won't understand." Colin lightly clamped his horse's belly and walked slowly:

"According to what I said, after reaching the south bank of the River Run, make some illusions of crossing the river, and then follow the river all the way to the east, you will come to the hiding place I said to join the main force, and then you will Understood."

"Knight Colin..." Thrall chased after a few steps and asked again.

"Mr. Sal, I believe you will be able to complete this mission, right?" Vera said warmly.

Thrall immediately held his head high, patted his chest and said loudly:

"Of course! I will not disappoint you!"

It's a pity that this little mercenary who was lost in Vera's charm wouldn't see it, and Ke Lin, who had taken a few steps forward with his back to him, was showing a mocking sneer.
