The Original Vampire

As night falls, the south bank of the rushing river is filled with flames.

That was the Golden Lion Corps burning 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 dwarf troops, and captured more than 15,000 people. In addition, there were a large number of dwarves who jumped into the running river. I am unable to count.

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

  At least if the Golden Lion Legion chooses to withdraw at this time, the dwarves on the other side will never dare to pursue it.

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

  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 Lion Army can be regarded as the first infantry in the North.

  This also made Colin covet this army.

  Although the cavalry is invincible in wild encounters, it still has many limitations. For example, in siege battles or in harsh terrain conditions, it is difficult to exert its strength. Therefore, Colin needs an elite infantry regiment as his Replenish.

  Originally, Colin was considering the half-elf Silver Moon Guard, 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 focus on this army.

  So, although the night was dark, Colin still followed Vera to comfort the wounded soldiers and win people’s hearts.

  I have to say that with Vera’s identity, doing such a thing is indeed twice the result with half the effort. In addition, she is kind and kind-hearted. Every soldier who had a cordial conversation with her was so excited that tears filled their eyes as if they were willing to do it for her in the next second. She gave her life.

  After following Colin for a while, he discovered with some embarrassment that he actually seemed a little redundant. Vera’s charm completely covered up Colin’s existence, and he soon became a little follower…

  Then, Colin, I might as well leave this task of winning people’s hearts to Vera to complete alone. Anyway, they are a husband and wife, and being loyal to Vera is basically equivalent to being loyal to Colin.

  After leaving the wounded barracks, Colin saw that Knight Cambening had been waiting aside as if he had something to report.

  ”What’s wrong?”

  ”Lord Viscount, those dwarf prisoners have been placed. May I ask…how to deal with them?”

  Colin frowned when he heard the prisoners.

  According to his practice in the two previous wars, the prisoners would not be given a way to survive.

  However, the time in the Eastern Territory was to avenge the Black Cavalry, and the time in the Troll Empire was because they were in an enemy country and could not place prisoners, so they had to kill them all.

  But Colin also knew that if he killed prisoners too much, there would definitely be backlash.

  At least, once his bad reputation is identified and spreads, if they encounter the enemy in the future, they will definitely consider Colin’s reputation for killing prisoners, and will not dare to surrender, but will only resist desperately.

  Moreover, strictly speaking, the dwarf captives this time are also members of the Northern Territory. If they really want to kill them all, Colin’s reputation will be ruined.

  ”Does the Golden Lion Army still have enough food?”

  ”It can last more than a month.”

  ”Okay, let’s keep these prisoners for now, but control their food intake, one meal a day, as long as they don’t starve to death.”

  ” Yes, sir!”

  Knight Cambening nodded in agreement and was about to leave when Colin ordered: “By the way, pick out all the professionals among the prisoners and send them to me.” “

  Yes! “Although Knight Cambelline didn’t understand what Colin was planning to do, he still followed the order and left.

  Obviously, Colin was planning to convert the captured professionals into blood slaves and add them to the Blood Shadow Guard.

  Colin was quite looking forward to this harvest because he knew that there was a fifth-level warrior among these prisoners.

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

  Thinking of this, Colin walked briskly towards his tent.

  …

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

  After rubbing her sore waist, Vera also walked out of the wounded barracks, preparing to return to the tent to rest.

  Halfway through, she met Master 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. It was obvious that she talked too much when she expressed condolences just now.

  ”I couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.” Kusius smiled and glanced at the guard behind Vera.

  Vera immediately understood what the other party meant, and turned around and said: “You guys go back first, I will accompany the teacher for a walk.”

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

  ”Teacher, if you have something, just tell me.”

  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 touched her hair He smiled and said: “I have 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 You probably can’t wait to ask me, what is the forbidden curse that killed your father?”

  Vera was silent.

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

  Moreover, Colin also told her that Master Cusius who came to the door may not have good intentions.

  Originally, with Vera’s kind personality, she would not think of her teacher with such malice, but after experiencing her adoptive father’s betrayal, this nineteen-year-old girl no longer trusts others as easily as before.

  Seeing that Vera didn’t speak, Kusius sighed and said in a deep voice: “Vera, I hope you know that the teacher will never hurt you.”

  Vera raised her head and glanced at her teacher, but immediately lowered her head. He turned his head and whispered: “Well, I believe you.”

  Kusius didn’t know whether Vera really believed him or was just perfunctory, but he also knew that his student would no longer be fooled. I was easily moved by a few light words.

  ”To be honest, the teacher came to the north this time for Mr. Jin of the St. Xion family, and I also know what he did in Fallen Eagle City.

  Of course, I don’t know his goal. It’s your father. If I had known this earlier, I would have definitely stopped it…”

  Vera suddenly raised her head, looked directly at her teacher, and asked: “So, what happened in Falling Eagle City? Mr. Jin Did you really sacrifice a whole city of people to complete the forbidden spell?”

  ”That’s right.” Kusius nodded solemnly, “After Mr. Jin and I discovered the forbidden spell of the Petrified Eye, we spent nearly two years on it. After ten years of modification and improvement, a new forbidden spell was finally developed – the Eye of Judgment!”

  ”The Eye of Judgment?”

  ”Yes.” Cusius took out a scroll from the mage’s robe and handed it to He gave it to Vera and said, “This is it. You can take it and study it yourself.”

  ”I…” Faced with Master Kusius’s candid attitude, Vera was confused for a moment.

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

But she didn’t open it to watch.

  With Vera’s character, she would never want to study or even understand a spell that required the sacrifice of a city’s people, no matter how powerful it was.

However, as a mage, her curiosity made her want to know what kind of existence this terrible forbidden curse was.

Kusius looked at the struggling Vera, smiled slightly, and said, “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 death charm. .”

After saying these words, Cusius left.

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