The Original Vampire

The next morning.

Colin opened his eyes and saw his wife beside him still asleep.

The golden hair sprinkled on the pillow like a blooming flower.

Colin didn't want to wake up the sleeping Vera, he carefully pulled his arms out of his soft embrace, and gently got out of the fragrant quilt, put on his clothes and left the bedroom.

As soon as he went out, he met a beautiful girl in the corridor.

"Good morning, Earl Angeli."

"Good morning, Miss Nina."

Colin greeted with a smile, pointed to the bedroom again, and said, "Are you here to find Vera? She hasn't woken up yet, you know, pregnant women need more sleep."

Nina glanced narrowly at Colin, then shook her head and said:

"No, I'm not here to find my cousin, but to you."

"Oh? What's your business with me?" Colin asked, probably already understanding Nina's intention.

Nina stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and asked tentatively, "Sir Count, are you ready to lead an army to support the Western Region?"

"Yes." Colin nodded frankly, looking around, as if looking for someone.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Just today."

"So fast?" Nina was surprised, but at the same time there was a hint of loss in her eyes.

"Yes. The blood cavalry army has been renovated in the half-troll kingdom, and it has already been prepared to fight again. Moreover, the situation in the western region is not optimistic. I must rush over as soon as possible."

Nina bit her red lips lightly, as if hesitating whether to speak.

Ke Lin asked with a smile: "The Phoenix Butterfly Army should have been ready to go out for a long time, right?"

"Ah?" Nina was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, "Yes, the Phoenix Butterfly Army can follow you to the Western Region at any time!"

"That's good." Colin nodded with satisfaction, and then said again, "Next time, let Seiken Morrison come to me directly. I don't have the guts. How to revive the Morrison family?"

Nina responded a little embarrassedly: "Okay...Okay!"

Colin didn't criticize Nina too much,

Or Seiken Morrison.

Because he is very aware of the current Morrison family's desire for war and victory, before the Western Border and the Sky Icefield did not bring the Phoenix Butterfly Army, it must have made the Morrison family's knights extremely anxious and urgent.

I am afraid that some people are even beginning to wonder if Colin is deliberately suppressing the Phoenix Butterfly Army to prevent the Morrison family from re-emerging.

It's just that they didn't know that the war in the Western Region was actually because Marquis Garcia didn't want the Phoenix Butterfly Army to participate, and the Icefield in the Sky was simply not a suitable battlefield for the Phoenix Butterfly Army.

Ke Lin never deliberately targeted the Phoenix Butterfly Army from beginning to end.

The Morrison family is now a vassal of the Angele family, and Colin is not going to target his own people because of some previous festivals.

And to be honest, with Colin's current power and strength under his control, even in its heyday, the Morrison family was not in the eyes of Colin, and there was no need to guard against suppression.

After sending away the thankful Nina, Colin came to the restaurant alone.

The housekeeper Aemon instructed the maids to serve a hearty breakfast, and then he quietly stood by and waited for Colin to finish eating before stepping forward to report in a low voice:

"Master, someone went to Greycastle to inquire about your past."

Colin looked condensed and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Aemon shook his head regretfully and said, "I don't know. That person was very careful and didn't reveal his identity."

Colin put down his napkin, lost in thought.

In fact, he was mentally prepared for it.

With the sharp increase in Colin's strength and power, there are bound to be people who are curious about his past.

There is even speculation that he is the biological son of a country baron.

For this, even Colin himself began to doubt.

"Aemon..." Colin tentatively said, "How much do you know about my past...?"

Colin has always felt that this elderly butler has served in the Angele family for more than half a century, so he might know some secrets.

There was no emotional change on Aemon's old face. He just smiled faintly after hearing Ke Lin's question and said:

"Master, I watched you grow up. Of course I know your past well, so I don't know what you want to know?"

Colin looked at Aemon seriously for a while, but couldn't see any flaws in the other's expression, so he could only smile and wave his hands, got up and left the restaurant.

Although Aemon didn't say anything, Colin felt that the other party should know something.

However, Colin did not continue to ask.

The old man dedicated his life to the Angele family, and Colin didn't believe he would betray him.

Even if he chooses to hide it, he must have his own difficulties.

Colin respected his decision.

Moreover, he has more urgent matters to deal with now, and he really has no time to explore the mystery of his own life experience.

Aemon looked at Colin's retreating back, and his eyes finally changed a little.

He opened his mouth and seemed to want to stop Colin, but after hesitating for a while, he still didn't make a sound.

When Colin's back completely disappeared from the door, Aemon let out a long sigh.

...

ten in the morning.

The low sound of the horn echoed over Ice Rock City.

The sound of horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, shaking the ground, and a group of cavalrymen urged their horses to gather outside the Ice Rock City.

On this expedition to the Western Territory, the cavalry reserve that Colin had trained by the Ciel Knights for a long time was also incorporated into the blood cavalry camp.

With the addition of this batch of recruits, the blood cavalry army rapidly expanded to 30,000 people.

These recruits will have a certain negative impact on the blood cavalry's combat effectiveness, but it's not a big problem.

In Ke Lin's view, to form a strong army that is invincible and invincible, three elements are the most important—the source of troops, equipment, and the spirit of the army.

Bingyuan, this is definitely no problem.

There is always a strong and brave young man in the north.

And since they can be selected for the reserve of the Blood Cavalry Army, they must be the best among the young people in the North. After the rigorous training of the Charr Knights, they have reached the blood cavalry army's enlistment standards.

As for equipment, there will certainly be no problem.

Although the rise of the Angele family has a short time, the speed of wealth accumulation can be described as extremely astonishing.

The war reparations of the troll empire are already abundant enough, and with the fact that Colin has secretly integrated and controlled the northern border and the half-elf business world, it is naturally impossible to lose money.

These blood cavalry recruits are equipped with three standard horses, a full set of leather armor, as well as lances, sabres, bows and arrows...

The wealth consumed by arming these 10,000 bloodless cavalry recruits is probably enough to form an infantry army of 100,000 people.

However, what these recruits lack is the last element, and of course the most important element—the spirit of the army.

This is the real difference between the blood cavalry and the ordinary cavalry.

It is the most precious wealth inherited from the Black Cavalry.

But such a military soul cannot be obtained no matter how much training, it can only be formed by pouring the blood of the enemy.

In addition to the blood cavalry army, there is another army gathered in the outskirts of Bingyan City - the Phoenix Butterfly Army.

The Morrison family's last fortune, and their last hope.

In the eyes of every Phoenix Butterfly Army soldier, there is a flashing desire for victory, for merit, and for glory.

Seiken Morrison rode his horse to Colin and saluted respectfully:

"Lord Earl, the Morrison family is ready!"

Ke Lin nodded, and finally glanced at the figure of Miaoman standing at the head of Bingyan City, then decisively put down the mask, and said coldly:

"Set off!"
