The Original Vampire

Chapter 8: Conscription order

   The morning sun dispelled the darkness in the forest, and also took away the worries that lingered in everyone's hearts.

   After the battle last night, everyone was busy clearing the battlefield, and at the same time they had to guard against the enemy's comeback, so most of them did not continue to sleep.

   After the sun came out, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Some people who were really tired and sleepy started to sleep.

   A part of the mercenaries began to prepare breakfast, and the leader Saru was still arguing with the businessman Oliver about the casualty pension.

   Actually, the two parties had agreed on the standard of compensation before they set off. The reason why they are arguing now is entirely because of an unlucky person who was killed by his own man.

   Oliver insisted that this guy was the Firefox mercenary group's own responsibility and that he shouldn't pay the pension, so he quarreled with Saru.

   Colin hangs up high on his own, squatting beside a fire, drinking the "water" in the kettle leisurely.

   The rising sun was a bit dazzling, and Colin lowered the brim of his hat a bit, almost completely covering the upper half of his face.

   Then, he took out the sheepskin scroll and crossed out the sentence [Human blood can help advance] that he wrote yesterday.

Because he found that the blood secretly obtained from the corpse of a thief last night has no effect on his strength growth. It is just like deer blood. In addition to satisfying the appetite and replenishing energy, there is no such thing as Carter Knight’s blood. Effect.

  Perhaps the blood of ordinary people has no effect, it must be the blood of professionals to help advance.

   Moreover, I am afraid that it needs the blood of a higher-level professional to have the effect.

   Thinking of this, Colin unconsciously turned his gaze to the only second-order warrior here-Captain Saru.

   Then he shook his head again.

   Let’s not say if I can beat Saru.

   Even if he was able to fight, he didn't want to kill an innocent person in order to advance quickly.

   Colin felt that he still had some bottom line.

   While thinking about it, Colin discovered that Oliver's dispute with Saru had finally ended.

   The chubby businessman was walking towards Colin with a slightly unhappy expression, as if he did not have the upper hand in the argument just now.

   "That's a tough guy!" After approaching, Oliver glanced at Saru's figure and complained to Colin.

   Colin looked at the businessman who said with great arrogance yesterday that he wanted to sponsor his army, and now he became more compelling because of a mercenary's pension, and suddenly he laughed a little bit.

   "Forget it, just take it to comfort people's hearts. After all, there is still a long way to go from Falling Eagle City. At this time, it is not a wise choice to fight with the Firefox Mercenary Group."

   "I know. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have given way to the old fellow Saru!" Oliver obviously understood this, but he was still unwilling and whispered a few words.

   "Would you like to taste the jerky I brought, it is much better than bread." Then the fat businessman became generous again.

   Colin smiled and accepted Oliver's kindness, and chatted with him casually.

   After waiting for everyone to finish their breakfast and rest for another two hours, the caravan put away the tent and prepared to set off again.

   And at this moment, Saru suddenly stopped everyone, and then he lay on the ground and pressed his right ear to the ground.

   Upon seeing this, Colin frowned slightly.

  His hearing during the day is far less than that at night, and he didn't hear any unusual movement at all at this time.

   But the Saru over there suddenly jumped up from the ground, hissing and roaring: "Horse! Horseshoes! Quick! Everyone, immediately alert!"

   With this roar of Saru, the whole camp suddenly became a mess.

   Oliver's face turned pale too.

   He knew the seriousness of the matter.

   This time is different from last night’s attack. The band of thieves can’t raise horses. If the people here are enemies and not friends, I’m afraid it will be very troublesome...

   "Tab T T T T..."

   As time passed, Colin finally heard the rush of horseshoes.

   The ground began to vibrate slightly, which made the mercenaries in the array more flustered, even the roar of the Bearded Saru could no longer calm them down.

   Ke Lin squinted his eyes and saw a thin gray line suddenly appeared in the forest not far away, like a sharp arrow rushing towards the camp.

   This is a team of cavalry!

   There are not many cavalry, only about twenty men.

   But looking at their overwhelming momentum, Colin had no doubt that as long as the opponent charged, the defensive position that the Firefox mercenary group tried to put together would immediately collapse.

   This is the terrifying oppression of the King of War in the Cold Weapon Age!

   rumbling!

   The earth is roaring.

   The cavalry is approaching.

   The mercenaries are shaking.

   Oliver closed his eyes in pain.

  Saru stood at the forefront of the defense line with a huge bust shield, like a rock.

   Colin also ignored the dazzling sunlight, sighed helplessly, lifted the three-cornered hat, and drew the one-handed sword from his waist.

   Just as everyone was preparing to fight to the death, the surging cavalry squad suddenly stopped about 30 meters from the camp.

   "咴—"

   Twenty war horses stood volleyed in the air amid a series of horse chirps.

  Good equestrianism!

   Colin couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart.

   At the same time, his tense mood slightly relaxed.

   The opponent should not be an enemy anymore.

   However, looking at their posture of rushing over without slowing down, and the final dazzling stop, obviously, they wanted to give the Firefox mercenary group a smashing power.

   Therefore, the other party may not necessarily have much kindness.

   This point, Oliver, a shrewd businessman, obviously saw it, and he didn't take the initiative to step forward, but signaled Saru to negotiate. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

  Saru was helpless, after all, he received a commission and was obliged to solve any troubles Oliver encountered along the way.

   So, he had to put down his half-length shield and big sword, and moved forward empty-handed, while shouting loudly at the same time:

   "Friends across the street! I am Saru, the head of the Firefox Mercenary Corps. I am escorting some goods from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to Fallen Eagle City. I wonder if I can help you?"

   The cavalry squad on the opposite side didn't respond, as if they suddenly became sculptures.

   The forest was silent, the wind seemed to stop suddenly, and the air was so dignified that it was suffocating.

  Saru suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart, biting his scalp and moving on.

  A few steps closer, he finally saw the badge on the chest armor of the leading cavalryman, and he took a breath of surprise: "Your Excellency is a knight of the Saint Hild family?"

  Saru's loud voice also spread to the rear, so a small depressive commotion broke out among the mercenaries.

   But at the same time, everyone involuntarily lowered the weapons in their hands to the ground, as if the name "Saint Hierd" had terrifying magical powers that people did not dare to fight against.

Yes.

  In the north of the empire, the name Saint Hild is a symbol of absolute authority.

   Even the imperial family does not have such a terrifying appeal and influence here.

   "哐当."

The knight headed by    finally moved. He lifted his helmet and mask, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes, and nodded at Saru, acquiescing to his identity.

   Then, he took out a roll of parchment from the cloth bag in front of the saddle and threw it at Saru's feet. At the same time, he announced in an unquestionable tone:

   "By the order of the Duke of St. Hilde and Marquis Charles, you have been urgently called up."
