Colin had a dream.

A very long dream.

In his dream, he was entangled by a huge silver python.

Moreover, it gets tighter and tighter.

The terrifying pressure crushed his bones and internal organs, and even his blood was continuously squeezed out.

He felt like an orange that had been thrown into a juicer. Turning into a mummy was probably a fate he could not escape.

Colin, of course, refused to give in.

But his limbs were tightly entangled and he was completely unable to move.

So, he could only bite the python's body.

And sucked like crazy.

If you squeeze me, I'll suck yours too!

This is Colin's plan.

However, he discovered a serious problem - he couldn't suck anything.

The body of this python seemed to be empty, with nothing in it.

As time passed, Colin's consciousness gradually became blurred.

The python's body gradually tightened, and Colin got closer and closer to the mummy.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Just when Colin was about to give up resistance, he suddenly discovered that he could actually suck blood from the snake's body!

Like rain suddenly falling from the long-drought land.

That mouthful is sweet,

It’s the smell of life!

However, there was only one mouthful.

Colin tried his best to drink milk, but could no longer suck any more.

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! !

In extreme anger, Colin woke up.

"Great! Colin, you are finally awake!"

"..." Colin opened his eyes, but only saw a blurry shadow.

I could vaguely make out the voice that should have been Vera just now.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"I...what...I drank..." Colin opened his mouth, wanting to drink more.

"You're drinking holy water."

Holy water? !

Colin was completely stunned.

You give me a vampire holy water? ? ?

Before he could catch his breath, Colin fainted again...

"Colin? Colin?" Vera was a little anxious and looked at Archbishop Raven for help.

The archbishop calmly opened Colin's mouth and poured in a few more drops of holy water.

Then, no response...

The archbishop did not believe in evil and drank a few more drops.

Still no response...

The Archbishop gritted his teeth and poured the entire bottle in, then looked at the empty vial with a pained expression on his face.

You know, what he gave Colin to drink was pure holy water. Generally, the holy water used by the church for treatment was diluted a thousand times with water.

Even though he only had a small bottle in his hand, it was diluted enough to last a parish for a whole year.

But even so, there was still no response.

The archbishop sniffed Colin's breath, then opened his eyelids and took a look... After some fiddling, he said in an uncertain tone:

"The injury seems to be stable. If you take good care of yourself, you should be fine."

Vera was relieved and quickly thanked her.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Garcia and others left the camp to let Colin rest.

Only Vera remained.

Marquis Garcia saw this and didn't say much, but frowned slightly.

After leaving the camp, he asked Knight Bliss: "Tell me about Knight Colin."

"Yes, sir." Bliss followed Marquis Garcia and explained, "He is the son of Baron Angelet, the lord of Graycastle Town. On his way to Fallen Eagle City with a mercenary group, because of Marquis Charles' The emergency recruitment order came to Jinghu Camp..."

"Mercenary group?" Marquis Garcia was a little confused. "Why would he, the son of a baron, follow the mercenary group when he went to Fallen Eagle City?"

"It should be to hide his identity. I asked the son of the leader of the mercenary group. Knight Colin once infiltrated the mercenary group under the false identity of the son of Viscount Sudor."

Bliss did check Colin's identity and origins, and Sal, the filial son, obviously would not hide anything for Colin and told the truth.

"Are the Angele family closely related to the Sudo family?"

"As far as I know, the two families don't have much contact. However, Viscount Sudor's territory has just been occupied by trolls recently, so maybe Colin thinks that the knight pretending to be this family will not be easily seen through and will not be held accountable. ”

Marquis Garcia nodded and made his own judgment: "Yes. Fake identity, and without his own guards to follow... I'm afraid something happened within the Angele family."

Bliss thought for a while and then provided another piece of information: "My lord, Baron Angelet unfortunately died in battle while following Marquis Charles."

"That's right." Marquis Garcia smiled calmly, "It's probably about the Baron's inheritance. Haha, there's nothing else new."

The fight for a baronetship obviously did not attract much attention from Marquis Garcia, so he mentioned it lightly, but did not ask any more questions, instead letting Bliss continue his story.

"Miss Vera also happened to meet the recruitment order on her way back to the north, so she also came to Mirror Lake Camp..."

Bliss said while observing Marquis Garcia's reaction.

Especially when it was said that Marquis Charles regarded all the soldiers who were urgently recruited as bait, he gave Marquis Garcia a slightly uneasy look.

Marquis Garcia's face was expressionless.

"...We fled all the way south, but we couldn't get rid of the Wolf Cavalry who were chasing after us...Knight Colin suggested turning around and heading north, breaking out in the most unexpected direction of the Wolf Cavalry...On the way north, we encountered the Jing Lake battlefield. The broken troops who escaped... After gathering the broken troops, we were gradually overtaken...

Colin suggested hiding in the bend of the rushing river and deploying suspicious soldiers... In the end, he had no choice but to fight with his back... a big victory! "

After Bliss finished speaking, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Marquis Garcia's instructions.

Marquis Garcia looked at the raging river in front of him and said nothing.

After a long time, he asked aloud: "What kind of person do you think Knight Colin is?"

Bliss was stunned for a moment, but quickly said bluntly: "Brave, loyal, intelligent, a man born for the battlefield."

Garcia smiled noncommittally: "It seems you think highly of him!"

Bliss nodded solemnly.

If it was before the last battle in the river bend, Bliss's impression of Colin was not very good.

Because although Colin showed a high sense of battlefield, he had lied after all, and he also wanted to abandon those defeated troops.

However, after the Battle of the Reach, Bliss completely changed his mind about Colin.

Whether he gave up the last chance to escape and chose to stay, fought in the front row, or risked his life to block the gun for Vera, the glorious image he displayed made the previous small flaws seem insignificant.

Therefore, Bliss was willing to put in a good word for Colin in front of Marquis Garcia.

He could see that the Marquis also had some appreciation for Colin.

"He is indeed a general!" Marquis Garcia nodded, but also frowned slightly, "However, he went a little astray... Fortunately, he is still young..."

Looking at the confused Bliss, the Marquis did not explain too much, but changed the subject:

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. This time I'm here to wipe the butt of that boy Charles. So, I need you to do one more thing for me."

"Please give me your orders!"

"I'll give you a team of cavalry. You immediately go to Winter City to meet my brother and ask him for a military order on my behalf."

"What military order?"

"Send troops to support us. The trolls have already reached our home, how can I still sit back and ignore them?"

"Send troops?" Bliss was a little confused, but then he reacted and his face turned pale instantly, "You...didn't you just send troops to support after receiving the order from the Duke?"

"No." Marquis Garcia looked at Bliss with interest, "I sent troops privately."

Bliss felt cold all over, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind uncontrollably, and he couldn't get rid of it.

But he still lowered his head and said solemnly:

"Yes, Lord Marquis! I'll leave now!"
