The Original Vampire

  The flower boat slowly sailed towards the shore. Marquis Garcia’s eyes were deep, and he had already seen the figure of the cavalry on the shore.

  Although Marquis Garcia’s face remained as calm as before, Colin on the side could still see the unrest in his heart from the opponent’s clenched fists.

  In order to ease the current dull and embarrassing atmosphere, Colin took the initiative to talk about the changes that the Northern Territory had experienced in the past six months.

  Marquis Garcia listened silently without any reaction.

  It wasn’t until Colin finished speaking that he commented lightly:

  ”You did a good job!”

  Colin couldn’t help but puff up his chest as if he were a student who was praised by the teacher, and he was excited.

  But then, Marquis Garcia’s next words made him fall out of the clouds:

  ”Is it your child that Her Majesty is carrying in her belly?”

  Colin immediately stiffened, feeling as if he had been caught and raped by his father-in-law.

  For a moment, I didn’t know whether to lie or admit it honestly.

  Fortunately, Queen Elsa said softly, “Your Excellency, the child in my belly is the Miller family’s child.”

  Marquis Garcia understood what the queen meant. This child would not become Colin’s public heir, and she would also never threaten Vera’s status.

  Therefore, Marquis Garcia once again set his sights on the other side and stopped talking.

  Colin was relieved.

  However, he also realized that in this world’s culture, the existence of noble lovers is very tolerant. Most nobles have lovers and illegitimate children.

  Of course, the premise is that she will not threaten the status of the head wife.

  Otherwise, Marquis Garcia will not let Queen Elsa go easily.

  Colin turned around and quietly gave Queen Elsa a thumbs up.

  Queen Elsa responded with a charming smile.

  Seeing that Marquis Garcia had no desire to talk and that his whole body exuded an aura of isolation and indifference, Colin did not dare disturb him too much, so he came to Queen Elsa and asked quietly:

  ”You have decided on Alfalfa City.” Have you chosen the city lord?”

  ”Yes.” Queen Elsa nodded, understanding that Colin remembered what Earl Evan said before leaving, so she explained, “He shouldn’t be from the Saint Xion family. The remnants.”

  ”Oh? Are you so sure?”

  Queen Elsa nodded and then reported a name that was somewhat familiar to Colin: “Ron Rutte.”

  ”A member of the Rutte family?” Colin remembered. The half-elf queen before Elsa was from the Lutte family, and Duke Lutte was the commander of the Silver Moon Guards at the time.

  However, this man launched a coup under the instigation of Sis Savoy, but of course, he was ruthlessly suppressed in the end.

  As a result, the Lutte family was deprived of their titles and fiefdoms by Queen Elsa and expelled from Silvermoon City.

  ”Yes.” Queen Elsa explained, “This Ron is the nephew of Duke Lutte, a third-level knight. He has some talents and is surrounded by a group of people from the Lutte family.

  So, I gave him this opportunity. and promised that as long as he can secure his position as the Lord of Alfalfa City, I will confer this place to the Lutte family and give them the corresponding titles.”

  Colin nodded and agreed with Queen Elsa’s decision.

  First of all, since Ron has a name and a traceable origin, he cannot be a remnant of the St. Xion family.

  Moreover, as a top half-elf family, Ron’s abilities, connections, and prestige are all guaranteed, which is better than choosing a fugitive to be the city lord.

  ”Let him pay attention to anyone with suspicious origins.”

  ”I know.”

  After a brief explanation, Colin said no more.

  At the moment, he doesn’t have time to play hide and seek with the possible remnant of the Saint Xion family in Alfalfa City, and he doesn’t even have time to care about the ownership of this city.

  The top priority is to return to the North as soon as possible and take Vera to Dragon City to meet Emperor Reinhardt and finalize the succession of the Duke of the North.

  Only then can he free up his hands to solve these messy problems?

  However, he did not pay attention to the remnants of the St. Xion family. After all, even Mr. Jin was dead, so what kind of trouble could the St. Xion family make?

  Moreover, Colin also doubted whether this remnant of the St. Xion family existed or whether it was a smoke bomb deliberately spread by Earl Evan.

  While thinking wildly, the flower boat has slowly docked.

  Before Marquis Garcia got off the boat, he saw the black cavalry on the shore kneeling on the ground in darkness.

  Knight Logue shouted at the top of his voice:

  ”Black Cavalry, welcome the return of the Marquis!”

  ”Black Cavalry, welcome the return of the Marquis!”

  …

  The voices of nearly 10,000 Black Cavalry officers echoed along the Nashua River. A chilling atmosphere began to slowly gather.

  Colin silently looked at the scene in front of him with deep eyes.

  He had no doubt that, as long as Marquis Garcia gave the order, the Black Cavalry would immediately cross the river to avenge him.

  They don’t even care whether the Northern Territory can sustain another war at this time or whether these 10,000 black cavalry troops can defeat the Eastern Territory.

  Where one person points, the whole army points!

  This is the prestige of Marquis Garcia in the Black Cavalry.

  Even though Colin has led this army to several great victories, and even though the Knights of Logue have led the Black Cavalry soldiers to swear allegiance to Colin under the orders of Marquis Garcia, they still cannot erase the words firmly engraved by Marquis Garcia. A mark on the soul of this army.

  At this time, Colin was inevitably a little worried about whether this black cavalry army would just leave him.

  Marquis Garcia’s deep eyes slowly swept over the Black Cavalry soldiers on the shore. Wherever he went, every Black Cavalry soldier involuntarily straightened his chest and accepted the inspection of the person who believed in his heart.

  I don’t know if they saw Marquis Garcia’s full head of white hair and the crutch in his hand. The breathing of the Black Cavalry soldiers gradually became heavier, and there seemed to be flames beating in their eyes.

  The north wind whimpered, and the angry river surged like blood under the reflection of the setting sun.

  But just when this momentum reached its peak, Marquis Garcia suddenly said:

  ”I am not qualified to be your commander-in-chief.”

  Knight Logue was about to speak but was forced back by Marquis Garcia’s cold gaze.

  ”It was me who trusted the wrong person, which led to the fiasco in Shadow Canyon.

  It was my unwillingness to keep my promise to live and die with the Black Cavalry.

  It was also my failure to understand the enemy’s plot, which caused the northern border to fall into chaos. Life is ruined!

  I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I have no shame in leading you anymore.”

  Marquis Garcia raised his finger, pointed at Colin, and said loudly, “You need a new commander!”

  Colin’s heart was filled with waves, and he turned his head. and saw Marquis Garcia’s eyes as deep as water.

  There was guilt, relief, and ardent expectation in this look.

  Colin understood that Marquis Garcia was officially handing over the Black Cavalry to him.

  Although this was a scene he had dreamed of day and night when it came to pass, Colin was still moved and at the same time shocked by this heavy responsibility.

  Marquis Garcia smiled slightly, his tone full of encouragement: “From now on, the Black Cavalry will become history. Viscount Angelet, give this army of your own a new name.”

  Colin His thoughts turned quickly, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, he might not know how long it would take to truly conquer the strongest army in the north.

  ”Let’s call it the Blood Cavalry,” Colin said loudly. “It originates from the Black Cavalry, is reborn from the blood, and will surely grow in the blood of the enemy!”

  Marquis Garcia whispered the Blood Cavalry several times, with a look on his face. With a satisfied smile, he then slowly took a few steps back, highlighting Colin’s position.

  Colin also said loudly and without hesitation, “The Blood Cavalry Army obeys the order!”

  Bang!

  Knight Logue’s left hand hit the armor on his chest hard, and his eyes shifted from Marquis Garcia to Colin.

  Immediately afterward, a series of knocking sounds echoed through the sky, converging into a unified sound.

  The former Black Cavalry Army officers finally truly accepted the change in their identities.

  Colin was excited and ordered, “Escort Marquis Garcia back to the north!”

  ”Blood Cavalry Army, take the order!”

  Colin stood on the bow of the ship with his head held high, accepting the cheers of the Blood Cavalry Army officers, and his heart was filled with incomparable joy. The heroic feeling.

  Behind him, Marquis Garcia stared at Colin’s tall figure, and in a daze, he seemed to see himself twenty years ago.

  The two of them were walking in front of each other; one was high-spirited, and the other looked desolate.

  It seems to mark the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era.
