Chapter 192: 192 Troops_1



Under the dim candlelight, three people were seated at the long table in the Red Fortress restaurant.

Colin, Vera, and “future brother-in-law” Charles.

After much consideration, Vera decided to meet her brother. Although she now harbors resentment towards her foster father, she still has some affection for this brother.

However, after learning about Colin and Charles’s plans, Vera, no longer in the mood to reminisce with her brother, began to worry about Colin’s safety.

As Charles’s identity still needed to remain secret, there were no other attendants in the restaurant, and Butler Emon served on the side personally.

Quietly after finishing their dinner, Emon brought three desserts.

But Vera is obviously not in the mood to enjoy desserts now, she lifted her head to look at Colin, and asked: “Colin, are you really unwilling to take me with you? I’m a mage, I can be very helpful on the battlefield.”

Colin held Vera’s hand and laughed, “No need. This surprise attack relies on catching them off guard, we probably won’t have any tough battles to fight. Besides, I need you to help me defend Ice Rock City. In case things go chaotic in the North Territory, we must have someone trustworthy and of significant status to hold down the fort.”

Charles also chuckled and advised, “Vera, you’d better stay in Ice Rock City. You sneaking to Red Fortress was already inappropriate, now if they kidnap you to Sky Ice Plain, when Father finds out, I fear he might truly punish Viscount Angler.”

Faced with Charles’ jest, Vera managed to pull out a polite smile.

The heir to the duchy was clearly oblivious to Vera’s experience in Silver Moon City, thinking she was still as intimate with her foster father as before.

Colin didn’t expose it either, he was smiling and watching everyone in front of him.

He was pondering at what point should he tell Charles that his biological father had sold him out to create an opportunity for the Dark Cavalry to annihilate the Troll Army.

If Charles knew that his suffering all originated from his own father, that scene hehe, it would be interesting.

It wouldn’t create another pious son, would it

While Colin was plotting how to dig a pit for this father-son duke duo, Vera’s clear voice chimed in again: “By the way, Colin, isn’t there a Holy Warrior Prince in the Troll Empire? If he is in the Troll Royal City ”

“Don’t worry, my dear sister.” Charles smiled and comforted, “After his battle with Father, this Holy Warrior Prince suffered massive injuries, and has already returned to the Far North for recuperation.

Given his current state, if he dares show himself in Troll Royal City, then perhaps our merit records will have an incredibly bright addition.”

Colin suddenly had a thought, and asked, “Is it true that Holy Field powerhouses rarely get injured, but once they do, it’s extremely troublesome?”

“Yes. The bodies of Holy Field powerhouses are vastly different from ordinary people, they already possess a hint of divine characteristics. But because of this, if their bodies get injured, they have to repair this hint of divinity.

However, it’s incredibly difficult to condense divinity in the mortal world. Therefore, once a Holy Field powerhouse gets injured, it takes at least two or three years for them to fully recover.”

Colin nodded, then casually asked, “What about Duke St. Hilde? Is his injury also severe?”

“Father Father’s injury is indeed quite tricky.” Charles sighed, then chuckled and comforted, “However, you guys don’t need to worry too much. The Church has to send a cardinal to Winterfell City to personally heal Father.”

At this, Colin suddenly thought of that soon-to-be-assigned retired bishop going to Winterfell City, as well as Bishop Jean, who was said to have died of illness.

“That’s good.” Colin laughed as if he had finally let go of his worries.

Early morning three days later, a deep horn sounded outside Ice Rock City.

One after another, cavalry troops urged their mounts to embark on their journey northwards under the command of the officers.

For this surprise attack on the Troll Royal City, Colin mobilised more than eleven thousand pure cavalry.

Included were over six thousand Dark Cavalry, more than three thousand Silver Moon Guards cavalry, and two thousand new recruits trained by Knight Shar in Ice Rock City over the past year.

The combat strength of the veterans of the Dark Cavalry was naturally beyond doubt, but the strength of the Cavalry from the Silver Moon Guards and the new soldiers in Ice Rock City was a bit concerning.

Nevertheless, Colin took them with him. After all, if they never experience a trial by fire, these new soldiers would never become true elites.

As for the Cavalry of the Silver Moon Guards, Colin hoped they would be able to integrate into the system of the Dark Cavalry.

This time, with the opportunity of the surprise attack on the Troll’s royal city, it was a good chance for these half-elf cavalries to experience the combat style of the Dark Cavalry.

On the top of Ice Rock City, Colin once again entrusted Attendant Emon and Knight Shar with handling military and political affairs in his territory while he went to war.

One of them was the old Butler of the Angler family, the other was of Colin’s bloodline. There was no need to worry about their loyalty. And both had quite impressive abilities. With them holding down the fort, Colin felt assured.

In the end, Colin had a heart-wrenching farewell with Vera.

Although the girl was reluctant to see him go, she put on a brilliant smile so as not to worry Colin. Her smile was bright as a plum blossom blooming in the depths of winter:

“Wait for you to come back in victory, and then I’ll marry you!”

Looking at the girl’s brilliant smile, Colin felt a surge of pride in his chest and laughed heartily, saying:

“Alright!”

Their conversation was not deliberately kept quiet, so everyone around heard it.

The servants of the Angler family naturally showed aunt-like smiles, feeling happy for their master.

Vera’s status was noble enough to match Colin.

Moreover, this was the bloodline of the Holy Knight Family!

If she marries Colin, then from that point onward, the Angler family would also count among the famous higher nobility of the Glorious Empire.

Viscount would certainly not be the endpoint for the Angler family.

If there could be another Holy Knight among their descendants ?the political landscape of the entire Glorious Empire would change dramatically.

Of course, the chance for this to happen is very slim.

The birth of a Holy Knight is extremely difficult. From the records of the Glorious Empire’s history, almost all powerful Holy Knights are the offspring of both parents coming from the Holy Knight Family.

Therefore, the current five Holy Knight families in the Empire favor intermarriages.

Of course, with only one parent having the bloodline of a Holy Knight, it does not necessarily mean their offspring can’t become a Holy Knight. But among the rare few examples, all were cases where the father was a member of the Holy Knight Family.

There has never been a case where only the mother was a member of the Holy Knight Family, and they gave birth to a Holy Knight.

Perhaps the Angler family could break that record

Only Charles had a speechless expression, wanting to remind his sister to be more reserved

“Advance!”

At Colin’s command, tens of thousands of cavalry surged forward, heading towards the Ice Plain in the north.

The clattering of the horses’ hooves was like a rolling thunder, echoing across the wilderness. The banners dancing in the air guided the direction of the cavalry.

Standing atop the city, Vera watched the thick mass of cavalry move northward. Apart from worrying about Colin’s safety, her heart also swelled with pride and ambition.

With such a strong northern army, how could those Troll vermin stand a chance?
