The Original Vampire

sixty-five knights

Outside the Ice Rock City, the strong bloody smell has not completely dissipated.

Countless vultures are holding their own carnival here.

Three days have passed since the tragic battle, and the atmosphere in Ice Rock City is still extremely depressed.

In the square in the center of the city, one after another corpses were gathered, ready to be burned.

They used to be big figures in the North, noble and elegant nobles, and lords who ruled one side, but now, they are like dead dogs, dragged at will and thrown into the fire.

"...This is the fate of the betrayal!"

In the square, an officer was reading aloud the crimes of these lords and nobles.

The onlookers watched with fear and excitement.

They couldn't understand why these nobles would betray their allegiance to Duke St. Hilde, but when they saw that the nobles who had been high above had been knocked down to dust, their hearts were filled with inexplicable joy.

Colin stood between them, looking at the unfamiliar or familiar faces in the square, his heart shivered.

The two brothers of the Saint Hilde family are really cruel!

Nearly a hundred lords, just like killing chickens, they all slaughtered!

"Colin, let's go. The award ceremony is about to start, you must not be late!"

Sister Caitlin urged on the side, she was not used to the bloody smell here, and kept covering her nose.

"Okay. Let's go."

Some are sad, some are happy.

As if the world is always maintaining a balance.

Those old lords died, and new lords would naturally be born.

Perhaps in order to dilute this chilling atmosphere and stabilize people's hearts, Duke St. Hilde decided to hold a knighthood ceremony in Ice Rock City today.

It stands to reason that the conferring of titles in the North should be carried out in the Lion's Roar Castle in Winter City.

But at this time, no one dared to oppose the Duke of Saint Hilde who was fighting vigorously.

The consecration ceremony was held in the main hall of the Radiant Church in Ice Rock City.

Colin had been here once before, to buy holy water.

And now, for this knighthood ceremony, this place has obviously been rearranged.

The multi-colored glazed glass was polished exceptionally bright, reflecting brilliant brilliance under the sunlight. Various murals were hung on the four walls of the hall. to every nobleman present.

When Colin came in, the place was already full of nobles who came to watch the ceremony.

Although there are quite a lot of people, it seems to be quite lively, but Ke Lin knows that most of these nobles are generals in the black cavalry.

They are actually vassals of Marquis Garcia.

And there are very few vassals who are truly loyal to the Duke of St. Hilde-because most of them have become corpses in the square.

Other than Colin, those who were still able to attend were the group of defected nobles headed by Earl Uman.

However, Colin knew that Earl Uman was not "turning on the sidelines" at all. This guy was simply an undercover agent arranged by Duke Saint Hilde in the lord coalition!

The purpose is to incite the dissatisfaction of the lords and lead them to confront the Saint Hilde family.

In the end, it was dug and buried by the two brothers of the Saint Hilde family.

Since three years ago, these real bigwigs in the Northern Territory have already begun to make arrangements, swept away the external and internal threats in the Northern Territory along the way, and finally ended today.

Colin lamented in his heart, it seems that the biggest suspect who murdered him will continue to go unpunished, and he does not know when he will be able to completely eliminate this threat.

With a melodious bell, Duke St. Hilde entered the hall.

All the nobles immediately stood up and bowed to greet the arrival of the duke.

It was the first time that Colin met the master of the North.

He looked about fifty years old, with a fat build and slightly gray hair. Although he tried his best to straighten his back when he entered the hall, Colin could still see the opponent's strength.

It stands to reason that this is not the state of a knight in his prime.

However, Colin knew that although the Duke of Saint Hilde once bravely crowned the North, he was even known as the sixth-order knight who had the most hope of stepping into the Sanctuary of this generation of Saint Hilde!

However, just five years ago, the Duke was seriously injured after a duel with the previous troll emperor.

From then on, not only did he cut off his hope of stepping into the sanctuary, but he was even more helpless.

The powerful knight of the past has become a middle-aged uncle who has grown fat.

"Honorable lords, heroic knights!" Duke St. Hilde stood on the stage and said loudly,

"The recent north has been a little uneasy, the invasion of trolls, the rebellion of the lords... But under the protection of the Lord of Glory, with your full support and heroic fighting, we still achieved the final victory!"

"victory!"

"victory!"

...

There was a timely cheer from the audience, and all the nobles applauded and celebrated.

Duke St. Hilde pressed his hand and continued: "In order to recognize the heroes who have made great efforts for this victory, I will award them one by one!"

The audience naturally cheered again.

There have been no new nobles in the North for a long time, and this time, it seems that a large number of new nobles will be born.

After all, so many old nobles have vacated their positions and lands. Whether it is to appease people's hearts or to better rule the North, the Duke of St. Hilde must reward them.

The first person to receive the award was indeed the No. 2 figure in the Black Cavalry - Earl Dawson.

The confidant of the Marquis Garcia was made a marquis by the duke.

This is also the second real marquis in the North.

After this, Marquis Dawson will also leave the vassal order of Marquis Garcia and swear allegiance to Duke St. Hilde.

This also indicates that after the two major threats to the north were eliminated, Duke St. Hilde finally began to attack the third threat - the black cavalry.

And his method was not what Colin expected—differentiation to win over.

After that, a large number of the backbone generals of the black cavalry army accepted the canonization of the duke.

These new nobles born from the black cavalry will continue to obey the orders of Marquis Garcia in the future? Or will it change the door and swear allegiance to the new owner?

...

Finally, Colin waited for his name.

Sister Caitlin clapped excitedly, as if she was the one receiving the canonization.

Amid the cheers, Colin strode to the center of the venue and knelt on one knee in front of Duke St. Hilde.

The Duke held the long sword in front of him and said solemnly:

"Colin Angele, you used your courage, wisdom, and faith to prove your loyalty and worth to the Lord of Radiance and me!

Here, in the name of Duke St. Hilde, on behalf of the Lord of Radiance and His Majesty the Emperor, I canonize you as Viscount Angele!

I hope you use your loyalty and your life to protect this honor! "

After he finished speaking, the Duke's blade tapped on top of Colin's head and on both shoulders.

"I, Colin Angele, swear by the heroic spirit of my ancestors, to dedicate my loyalty to the Lord of Radiance and to the Duke of Saint Hilde!

Your will is my direction, your..."

Colin recited the oath, but his heart was surprised.

Viscount?

It turned out to be a Viscount!
