The Original Vampire

At the end of the song, Colin wrapped his arms around Vera and stopped spinning.

The thunderous applause followed, and everyone praised the wonderful dance moves of Colin and Vera.

Colin asked Vera to hold his arm and came to the sidelines to entertain the officers attending the banquet.

After experiencing the two major battles of Silvermoon City and the Expedition to the Troll Empire, the current Black Cavalry has been deeply branded as Colin. Presumably even if Marquis Garcia returns to the north at this time, he may not be able to easily remove this army. The strong army took it away.

Colin has even started planning to change the name of the Black Cavalry.

However, considering that Marquis Garcia was about to be redeemed, Colin didn't really rush to change the name of the Black Cavalry, otherwise this look would be really ugly.

This guy is thinking about marrying Vera home first, and then Marquis Garcia will become his father-in-law, and it will be easier to bargain between Weng and son-in-law.

One by one, he shook hands with the officers of the Black Cavalry Army, and Colin also found that these people had already brought reverence and respect in their eyes.

If at first these people only obeyed the orders of Marquis Garcia and chose to be loyal to Colin, but now, they have agreed with the new commander of the Black Cavalry from the bottom of their hearts.

Sure enough, the best way to conquer an army is to lead them to victory.

After a circle among the black cavalry officers, Colin finally came to the dwarf messenger.

"Dear Viscount Angele, congratulations on your great victory in this expedition to the troll empire. Your exploits made the sun in the sky pale!"

"Haha, Count Anka, you have won the prize."

When she came over just now, Vera had whispered the origin of this dwarf messenger in Colin's ear.

Anka Maynum, the eldest son of the Marquis of Maynum.

The Maynum family is the most prestigious family among the dwarves. Their fief is not in the north, but in the crimson flame.

The so-called Scarlet Flame Territory is actually the territory of the San Lorenzo family, the royal family of the Glory Empire.

Therefore, the Marquis of Menum is of course a vassal of the San Lorenzo family.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Maynum, Earl Anka, is actually about the same age as Colin.

But dwarves are generally old, and they like to have thick beards, so they look like they are in their thirties or forties.

He was less than 1.3 meters tall, and his bloated figure made him look a bit funny.

"Viscount Angele, you are too modest." Count Anka always had a simple and honest smile on his face, but the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time let Colin know that this was not an easy role.

"I don't know why Earl Anka came to Ice Rock City so far away?" Ke Lin also put on a harmless smile.

"There are two main things." Earl Anka seemed to be impatient, and immediately said bluntly, "The first thing is to tell you that the Maynum family has decided to send troops to the north."

"Oh?" Colin's eyes flashed and he asked, "I wonder why the Maynum family sent troops?"

"Of course it's to conquer Duke St. Hilde!" Count Anka said righteously, "As the Lord of the North, this Duke failed to fulfill his duty of protecting his people, and allowed the North to be invaded by trolls. He is plagued by famine again, and now the people of the North are struggling to live, and there are wars everywhere, and he must pay for it!"

"What price?"

"Give up the Duke of the North!"

"To whom?"

Count Anka glanced at Vera next to Colin, and said solemnly, "I think Mr. Hoo of the Saint Theon family is more suitable to become the new Lord of the North!"

Hearing this, Vera shook Colin's hand slightly.

Colin reached out and patted Vera's little hand, indicating that she should not be nervous, then looked at Count Anka and asked, "So, is this what Emperor Reinhardt meant?"

"No, this is just the meaning of the Maynum family. Moreover, we also received the help of Marquis Dawson, so we decided to send troops to the north to conquer the unqualified Lord of the North, Duke St. Hilde!"

I believe you a ghost!

Colin secretly complained that he did not believe that the Maynum family sent troops without the consent of Reinhard the Great.

Without the acquiescence of the Emperor of the Radiant Empire, the army of the Menam family might not even think about walking out of the Red Flame Territory safely.

But why?

Colin immediately fell into deep confusion.

He thought that the relationship between the San Lorenzo family and the Saint Hilde family would definitely help the North to defend against the invasion of the Saint Theon family.

What's more, there is a deep hatred between the Saint Theon family and the imperial royal family.

It makes no sense that the imperial family is now condoning the Maynum family to help the Saint Theon family.

What the hell was Reinhardt thinking?

Instead of helping your uncle, go to help your enemy instead?

Seeing Colin pondering, Count Anka showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "And the second thing is directly related to you."

"Oh?" Colin retracted his mind and nodded, "Please speak."

"My father wants to exchange territory with the Angele family!"

"Replacement territory?" Colin was a little stunned, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Seeing this, Earl Anka comforted: "Don't worry, our Maynum family has always done things fairly, and the area of ​​territory used to replace with you will definitely not be small, and the output will only be more or less."

Colin narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something, and asked again, "I'm afraid that what your Maynum family wants to replace is not just my family's territory, right?"

"Of course not only, but also the Morrison family, the Lombard family, the Billy family..."

Listening to the names uttered by Earl Anka, Colin also confirmed the location of these territories in his heart.

Only then did he discover that after replacing these territories, the Maynum family would be completely relocated to the north, and their territories would be connected with the Dawson family.

Hehe, this is probably the territory of the future dwarf kingdom!

It turned out that the San Lorenzo family had this idea.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the northern territory, the dwarves from the Crimson Flame Region were moved to the northern territory, and then they were allowed to establish their own country.

After the founding of the country, the dwarf kingdom will naturally become a vassal state of the Radiant Empire. The object of allegiance to the dwarf king cannot be the Lord of the North, but will be Emperor Reinhardt.

And Ke Lin, the former northern lords who were replaced by the Scarlet Flames, would probably also change their sects one after another and swear allegiance to the emperor.

In this way, the San Lorenzo family did not pay anything, they divided the North, and also dug a large piece of territory from it.

What a great plan!

So, is this the reason why Emperor Reinhardt did not help his brother-in-law, but instead prepared to support his former family enemy to become the Duke of the North?

Colin always felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

"Count Anka, this matter is very important, I need time to think about it."

"Of course." Earl Anka nodded, "However, you'd better hurry up. Our Maynum family's army will enter the north in early May. The longer it takes, the more territory you may be able to replace. less."

"Haha, I'll do it as soon as possible." Colin smiled lightly, then nodded in greeting, and turned around.

After walking a few steps, Vera asked in a low voice, "Colin, will the North really become the domain of the Saint Theon family?"

Colin turned his head, looked at Vera who was worried, and comforted: "Don't worry, if you want to change the owner of the North, why do you have to ask my opinion!"

Vera looked at the confident Colin, and suddenly smiled relievedly.

When faced with despair many times, this amazing man always surprises her.

This time, she believed it would be no exception.
