The Original Vampire

In Pinewood Town, the rebellion has not completely subsided.

However, under the suppression of the Lomba family army, the arrogance of the rebels has been completely suppressed. According to this trend, it is estimated that it will not be long before this rebellion will be completely quelled.

Some rebellious civilians also saw that the situation was not good. Seeing that they were no match for the army of the Lombard family, they rushed towards the city gate, preparing to escape from Pinewood Town with the property and food that had been looted overnight.

The Lomba family army saw this, but did not stop it. They are now short of troops, and their primary task is to stabilize the situation in the town. It is difficult for the rebels who escaped to take care of them, and after these people escape, they can reduce their pressure.

But just as the rebels successfully opened the city gate in the east of the town and prepared to rush out, they suddenly heard a low horn sound from a distance.

Then the thunderous sound of horses' hooves shook the ground of Pinewood Town, and the black cavalry army instantly filled the wilderness outside the town.

Those rebels had never seen such a majestic cavalry charge, and they were so frightened that they fled back to the town. It seemed that compared with those fierce cavalry, the army of the Lomba family was nothing but a group of harmless sheep. .

"The Black Cavalry was ordered by Viscount Angele to assist in suppressing the rebellion!"

The Rogue knights who rushed outside Pinewood Town roared, and regardless of whether the Lombard family was willing to accept their assistance, they directly led the black cavalry troops and rushed into the town like sharp arrows.

The situation that followed was naturally good.

The rebels, who could not even fight against the army of the Lombard family, now faced the even more terrifying black cavalry army, and could only kneel and surrender.

But the arrival of the black cavalry made the people of the Lombard family very worried.

They didn't believe that the Black Cavalry would come so kindly to help them settle the chaos.

Moreover, the timing of the arrival of the Black Cavalry was too coincidental.

Just like the assassination of Baron Lombard in Ice Rock City, it is full of coincidences.

But once there are too many coincidences, it is hard to believe that this is not a conspiracy planned by someone with a heart.

When Colin entered Pinewood Town, the rebellion in the town had basically subsided.

The members of the Lombard family welcomed the strong young viscount into their castle in an uneasy manner.

"Lord Viscount, thank you for your helping hand this time. The Lombard family will always be grateful." White carefully followed behind Colin and thanked him respectfully.

The wolf-like black cavalry made him feel a strong threat, so even though he was full of doubts about this Viscount Angele, White did not dare to show it.

"Knight White, don't be so polite! For your father's death, I also have the responsibility to protect you poorly, so this time helping to pacify the chaos can be regarded as my apology to the Lombard family."

Colin said politely,

But after entering the castle hall, he did his part to sit on the main seat.

White's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

The housekeeper of the Lombard family on the side probed carefully: "Lord Viscount, how many days are you going to stay in Pinewood Town? We can arrange a reception for you."

"You don't need to arrange anything." Colin smiled and waved his hand, "I'll leave today."

White's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood the Viscount Angele.

But the next second, he immediately dismissed this childish thought, because Colin continued:

"However, the Knights of Logue will stay, and the Black Cavalry will also stay part of it to prevent another rebellion in Pinewood Town."

"Lord Viscount, we appreciate your kindness. However, it is the responsibility of the Lombard family to protect Pinewood Town, and we have the ability to undertake it alone, without you..."

"Knight White," Colin directly interrupted White's shirk, "Aren't you still the Lord of Pinewood Town?"

"I'm really not..."

Although White was the eldest son of Baron Lombard and the first heir to the title of baron, before he received the title of Duke St. Hilde, strictly speaking, he could not be regarded as the lord of Pinewood Town.

Colin spread his hands and said, "So, your priority now is to go to Winter City to accept the canonization of the Duke of the North, instead of bragging to me here, saying that you have the ability to protect Pinewood Town.

I am not questioning your abilities, but your qualifications! "

White opened his mouth and just wanted to defend himself, but Colin didn't give him this chance at all, and said aggressively again:

"Furthermore, Knight White, if I hadn't led the army to help the Lombard family to pacify the chaos this time, it's uncertain whether you can defend Pinewood Town!

According to the lord rule, if you lose Pinewood Town, what qualifications do you have to inherit your father's title? "

This time, White couldn't bear it any longer, and loudly defended: "Lord Viscount! You can't question the ability of the Lombard family like this! Even without the help of the Black Cavalry, we can still hold Pinewood Town! As for whether I am qualified to inherit the Baron The position, it is also up to the Duke of the North to decide!"

Colin waved his hand with a smile, indicating that White didn't need to be excited, and said calmly: "That's why I said, your first task now is to go to Winter City to meet the Duke. Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with the Lombard family for Pinewood Town. belong."

"Since you have no intention of occupying Pinewood Town, please take your army with you."

"Knight White, you are too careful. The reason why I left the army is that I really want to help you defend Pinewood Town. Don't be too busy to refuse! Don't you need a family army escort to go to Winter City? You know, now The northern border is not very peaceful.

Taking away the family army, you are not worried about the resurgence of the rebellion in Pinewood Town? "

White was speechless at this moment, and seemed to think that what Colin said had some truth.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper of the Lombard family quickly stood up and said, "Lord Viscount, thank you for your kindness. But we, the Lombard family, don't want to owe too much favor, so we'd better sign an agreement to confirm your assistance. Conditions and rewards for guarding Pinewood Town."

Only then did White react, and nodded again and again: "Yes! Lord Viscount, let's sign an agreement."

Colin laughed in his heart, seeing through the plans of the Lomba family at a glance.

They want to put all the conditions for the garrison to assist in defense on paper. In this way, it is not easy for Ke Lin to blatantly plan to plot Songlin Town.

However, what the Lombard family didn't know was that Colin had no intention of occupying the town.

"Yes. However, as a reward for sending troops to pacify the chaos and assisting in maintaining stability in the future, I need ten years of logging rights in the Zhenbei Forest District of Songlin Town."

"Ten years?" White exclaimed, shaking his head again and again, "It's too long, Lord Viscount, I'll give you three years of logging rights at most!"

The Zhenbei forest area of ​​Songlin Town can be said to be the cash cow of the Lomba family. The red pine trees produced there can not only be used as excellent construction wood, but also produce a kind of pine resin, which is also an extremely expensive medicinal material.

"Knight White, before you accept the duke's canonization and become the lord of Pinewood Town, you are not qualified to bargain with me. The current Pinewood Town, the Angele family will temporarily help you guard it."

White resisted the humiliation and anger in his heart, and had to bow his head: "Okay, then I will trouble you, Lord Viscount, and I will set off for Winter City to meet Lord Duke!"

Colin then showed a satisfied smile.

His eyes passed through the Lombard family and looked in the direction of Winter City, secretly thinking in his heart——

Duke St. Hilde, this time you should come out to meet the guest.
