On the seventh day after Colin woke up, the Black Cavalry finally set out again.

However, the army advanced very slowly.

So slow that it doesn't look like an elite cavalry at all.

This kind of marching speed is very suitable for Colin, after all, his injury has not completely healed.

Raymond didn't know where he got a flat trailer and spread some thatch on it as a buffer. Colin was quite comfortable lying on it.

The spring sunshine is warm and genial, making people feel sleepy.

Even though Colin, a vampire, didn't like the sun, he slowly dozed off while basking in the sun.

Although he was in the most elite army in the North, Colin managed to create a lazy atmosphere of leisure vacation.

Vera was not nearby.

After all, she is the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North. Even if she has some affection for Colin, she is not willing to guard her every step of the way.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like a licking dog?

Even if he wanted to lick it, it should be Colin who took the initiative.

After all, Vera's status is much nobler than Colin's.

But looking at Colin's appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of striking while the iron was hot.

When picking up girls, you have to stay away from them.

This is a painful lesson learned from Colin's failed dog-licking career in his previous life.

The army just marched northward slowly.

As we gradually approached the Jinghu Camp, we encountered more and more broken soldiers.

The Marquis of Garcia did not refuse anyone who came, gathered them all, and arranged them as auxiliary troops at the rear of the army.

From the mouths of these defeated soldiers, Colin gradually learned more details about the defeat of Marquis Charles.

This war actually started last year.

In early May of last year, under the leadership of Troll Prince Gambik Volgin, an army of 300,000 trolls gathered at the border, preparing to march southward.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

On the northern side, Marquis Charles led an army of 200,000 to fight against it.

Among the 200,000 troops, 100,000 are from the Golden Lion Legion, a direct lineage of the Saint Hilde family, and the other 100,000 are the private armies of the major lords in the north.

For example, Colin's father, Baron Angelet, personally led 3,000 soldiers to the front line to participate in the battle after receiving the order from Duke St. Hilde.

Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the human side was not inferior at all in terms of momentum.

After all, in recent decades, the North has rarely lost in the war against trolls.

In particular, the commander of the troll army, Prince Gambic, was an old acquaintance who had been beaten on the ground by Marquis Garcia in various positions.

Under such circumstances, the northern side will inevitably take it lightly.

But most people don't realize, or are unwilling to admit, that Marquis Garcia and the Black Cavalry under his command are the guarantee of victory for the North on the front line.

Now that this "guaranteed victory" has disappeared, can Marquis Charles alone shoulder the burden of guarding the border?

Obviously, things did not develop as the northerners expected.

From the initial confrontation period, Marquis Charles seemed somewhat powerless.

In the small-scale probing battle between the two sides, Marquis Charles was even more confused and exhausted.

At this time, the Troll Commander Prince Gambic had already found out the true identity of the Duke's son, and understood that the battlefield command ability of Marquis Charles was completely incomparable to that of another Marquis.

As a result, the trolls gradually strengthened their offensive, and last winter broke through the defense line set up by the northern side in one fell swoop and fought their way in.

Marquis Charles retreated steadily to the vicinity of Mirror Lake.

There, he issued an emergency call-up order and placed the recruited soldiers in the Jinghu Camp as bait, while he led the main army to ambush nearby.

Later, when the trolls attacked the Mirror Lake Camp, Marquis Charles led his army to come out from behind.

Unfortunately, he still failed.

In addition to the two fatal mistakes that Colin analyzed before, there is another important reason for Marquis Charles's fiasco - his plan was discovered in advance by the trolls!

I don’t know if Prince Gambic is really good at predicting things, or if he discovered the traces of Marquis Charles’ army, or if someone leaked military secrets...

In short, when the trolls attacked the Jinghu Camp, they did not attack with their entire army. Instead, they deployed the main forces in the rear, waiting for Marquis Charles to dive into the trap.

So, once again, Marquis Charles failed miserably.

The 200,000-strong army was almost completely lost in this series of disastrous defeats.

Even the Marquis of Charles himself is now being hunted by trolls and his whereabouts are unknown.

Oh no.

The whereabouts of the Marquis Charles soon became apparent.

On the thirteenth day after the Black Cavalry Army left Benliuhe and headed north, they encountered a larger defeated army.

This defeated army consisted of about five thousand people, and the leader of this defeated army was none other than Marquis Charles.

Behind them, there was a troll chasing army of more than 8,000 people.

However, when the pursuers saw the flag of the Black Cavalry in the distance, they decisively turned around and gave up the pursuit.

He didn't even have the courage to test and attack.

Marquis Charles was finally saved.

However, his tragic fate has just begun.

After learning that Marquis Charles was among the defeated army, Colin also left the trailer and prepared to go and see the excitement.

Colin definitely didn't have a good impression of Marquis Charles.

First of all, the death of his cheap dad was probably caused by this guy's command error.

This also led to the death of his predecessor and the assassination of Knight Carter later.

Moreover, after he escaped from Graycastle Town, he was taken to the Mirror Lake Camp as a bait by the emergency recruitment order of Marquis Charles. What followed was a series of pursuits and near-death experiences...

Therefore, when Colin saw the miserable appearance of Marquis Charles, he was quite happy at his misfortune.

"uncle……"

At this time, Marquis Charles was half-kneeling in front of Marquis Garcia, with a sad expression.

Although both of them are marquises, their qualities are completely different.

What's more, this series of disastrous defeats also caused Marquis Charles to completely fall from the altar.

And it also highlights the importance of Marquis Garcia.

"You fought well!" Marquis Garcia did not let Charles stand up, but scolded him with a frosty face.

"Uncle, I, I was careless..."

"Snapped!"

In full view of everyone, Marquis Garcia whipped Charles to the ground as he tried to make excuses.

The whole place was silent.

Some timid people even lowered their heads and did not dare to look any further.

Although Marquis Garcia is the elder of Marquis Charles, he is, after all, the Duke's first heir, the future Lord of the North!

He was actually whipped like this in full view of everyone...

"You bastard! If you lose, you lose. Besides incompetence, what other reason do you have?"

When Charles heard this, he trembled all over, and immediately rolled on the ground and crawled at the feet of Marquis Garcia, shouting loudly:

"Uncle, I was wrong! I was wrong...

I'm sorry for the St. Hilde family, I'm sorry for the dead soldiers, I'm sorry for the people of the North, woo woo..."

The dignified Marquis, the future Lord of the North, was actually like this in public——

Cried.
