The Original Vampire

As night fell, the south bank of the River Rushing River was in flames.

It was the Golden Lions burning the corpses.

The preliminary statistical results of this battle have also come out. In this battle, the Golden Lion Army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, annihilated nearly 10,000 dwarves, and captured more than 15,000 people. In addition, there were a large number of dwarves who jumped into the running river. Statistics are not available.

This kind of victory can be described as a great victory, and the threat of Marquis Dawson suddenly dropped a lot.

At least if the Golden Lions chose to withdraw at this time, the dwarves on the other side would never dare to pursue them.

This battle also gave Colin a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Golden Lions.

It is indeed the most elite unit of the Saint Hilde family. If the Black Cavalry is the first cavalry in the North, then the Golden Lions can be regarded as the first soldier in the North.

This also made Colin coveted for this army.

Although cavalry is invincible in field encounters, there are still many restrictions, such as siege warfare, or in the case of harsh terrain conditions, it is difficult to exert its strength, so Ke Lin needs an elite infantry regiment. Replenish.

Originally, Colin was thinking about the Silver Moon Guard of the Half-Elves, but now it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Golden Lion Army is obviously much higher than that of the Silver Moon Guard, so he decided to hit this army.

So, although the night was dark, Colin went with Vera to condolences to the wounded soldiers and to win people's hearts.

I have to say that in Vera's capacity, doing such a thing is indeed twice the result with half the effort. In addition, she is beautiful and kind, and every soldier who has talked with her cordially is moved to tears, as if they are willing to do it in the next second. She gave her life.

After following Colin for a while, he was a little embarrassed to find that he was actually a little redundant. Vera's charm aura completely concealed Colin's existence, and he soon became a small follower...

Afterwards, Colin simply gave Vera the task of winning people's hearts to complete it alone. Anyway, their husband and wife were originally one, and allegiance to Vera was basically equivalent to allegiance to Colin.

After leaving the wounded barracks, Colin saw Knight Cambering waiting for a long time, as if he had something to report.

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Viscount, those dwarf captives have been placed properly, may I ask... how should we deal with them?"

Hearing the captive, Colin frowned.

According to the practice of his two previous wars,

There will be no way for the captives to live.

However, the Eastern Border was to avenge the Black Cavalry Army, and the Troll Empire was unable to place prisoners in the enemy country, so they had to kill them all.

But Colin also knew that if he did too many things like killing prisoners, it would definitely be backlashed.

At the very least, once his notoriety has been characterized and spread, if he encounters an enemy in the future, he will definitely consider Colin's reputation for killing prisoners, instead of daring to surrender, he will only resist desperately.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the dwarf captives this time are also from the North.

"Is there enough food for the Golden Lions?"

"It can last for more than a month."

"That's fine, just keep these captives first, but control their food intake, eat one meal a day, and don't starve to death."

"Yes, my lord!"

Knight Camberin nodded and said yes, and was about to leave, but he listened to Colin's order: "By the way, all the professionals among the prisoners are picked out and sent to me."

"Yes!" Although Knight Cambering didn't understand what Colin was going to do, he still led the way.

Obviously, Colin is going to convert the professionals among these captives into blood slaves and add them to the Blood Shadow Guard.

This time, Ke Lin was quite looking forward to the harvest, because he knew that there was a fifth-order warrior among these prisoners.

You must know that there are only two paladins in the entire glorious empire, and no more than ten sixth-order professionals. Therefore, fifth-order professionals are definitely considered top combat power.

Thinking of this, Colin walked briskly towards his tent.

...

As the night got darker, Vera finally ended her condolences to the wounded.

Rubbing her sore waist, Vera also walked out of the wounded barracks, preparing to return to the camp to rest.

On the way, she met the Mage Kusius, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher? It's so late, haven't you rested yet?" Vera's voice was a little hoarse, obviously because she talked too much during the condolences just now.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk." Kusius smiled and glanced at the guards behind Vera.

Vera immediately understood what the other party meant, and turned around and said, "You go back first, I'll accompany the teacher for a walk."

The guards hesitated for a moment and retreated a certain distance, but they did not go far.

"Teacher, if you have anything, just say it."

Kusius looked at Vera for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, you seem to have matured a lot."

Vera gently tucked the ends of her hair and smiled, "I'm going to grow up, I can't be a carefree child all my life."

Kusius nodded, his eyes full of approval: "Indeed, if it was a year ago, you probably couldn't wait to ask me, what was the forbidden spell that killed your father?"

Vera was silent.

In fact, on the day Kusius appeared, Vera was going to ask about this, but was stopped by Colin.

Moreover, Colin also told her that the Master Kusius, who took the initiative to come to the door, may not have good intentions.

Originally, with Vera's kind personality, she would not use such malice to speculate on her teacher, but after experiencing the betrayal of her adoptive father, the nineteen-year-old girl no longer trusts others as easily as before.

Seeing that Vera didn't speak, Kusius sighed and said solemnly, "Vera, I hope you know that the teacher will never hurt you."

Vera looked up at her teacher, but immediately lowered her head and whispered, "Well, I believe you."

Kusius didn't know whether Vera really believed in him or just perfunctory, but he also knew that his student would not be easily moved by a few fluttering words.

"To tell the truth, the teacher came to the north this time, indeed for the Mr. Hoo of the Saint Theon family, and I also know what he did in the Falling Eagle City.

Of course, I didn't know that his target was your father, and if I had known this, I would have stopped it..."

Vera suddenly raised her head, looked directly at her teacher, and asked, "So, what happened to Eagle City? Did Mr. Ho really sacrifice a city to complete the forbidden spell?"

"That's right." Kusius nodded solemnly, "Mr. Ho and I spent nearly 20 years modifying and perfecting the forbidden spell of the Eye of Petrification, and finally developed a new one. Forbidden Spell - The Eye of Judgment!"

"The Eye of Judgment?"

"Yes." Kusius took out a scroll from the mage's robe and handed it to Vera, "This is it, you can study it yourself."

"I..." Facing the candid attitude of Master Kusius, Vera was a little stunned for a while.

After a long while, with a slightly trembling hand, he took the casting scroll of the terrifying forbidden spell.

But she didn't turn it on to watch.

With Vera's character, she is absolutely reluctant to study, or even understand a spell that needs to sacrifice a city's citizens, no matter how powerful it is.

However, her curiosity as a mage made her want to know what this terrifying forbidden spell actually exists.

Kusius looked at Vera, who was struggling, and smiled slightly: "The scroll has been given to you, you can study it carefully. However, remember to keep it secret, this forbidden spell is not only the hope of our mage's rise, but also our life-threatening charm. ."

After saying this, Kusius just left.

Leaving Vera standing there, looking at the scroll in her hand, she was dazed.
