"Tab T T T T..."
As the Bliss Knights led the cavalry team to leave the river bend, the entire camp suddenly fell into panic.
The news that the troll wolf cavalry is about to catch up has spread. Everyone is already panicked. Now they think Bliss and others are fleeing, and this is even more stabbing the hornet's nest.
Many people have gathered together quietly, packed their things and prepared to run away.
At this moment, Vera and Colin appeared in front of everyone, letting them settle down temporarily.
Seeing that the two highest-ranking nobles in the entire camp had not left yet, everyone felt that there was hope and that they had not been abandoned.
However, the departure of the Bliss Knight and the news of the approaching troll chasing soldiers still filled everyone's faces with anxiety and anxiety. Everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme, and they could no longer withstand any stimulation.
They stared at the figures of Vera and Colin, hoping to get some good news from them.
The common people of this era are mostly a group of confused lambs. They are ignorant, ignorant, and timid. They are unable to control their own destiny, or even dare not control their own destiny.
Therefore, they put their destiny in the hands of the nobles, eager for the nobles to lead them to prosperity and glory.
But what they didn't know was that the guidance of nobles was often at the cost of slavery.
At this time, Vera could see this confusion and this desire in everyone's eyes, of course she would not let them down.
She did not speak.
was just one action, and it completely calmed everyone in the camp.
She lifted her veil.
The shimmer of the dawn swayed down, outlines the beautiful face under the veil.
Time seems to be stagnant.
The restless people held their breath at this moment.
As if for fear of disturbing the beautiful, firm, but also slightly shy girl.
But before everyone could appreciate this beautiful picture, Vera spoke up.
The rapid sound of the rushing river can’t hide her soft but steady voice:
"My name is Vera St. Hild. I am the adopted daughter of the Lord of the North and the Duke of St. Hild."
Adopted daughter!
It turns out that she is the adopted daughter of the Duke of the North!
Colin's eyes widened, and a huge wave burst into his heart.
You know, in this world, adopted children (females) have the right to inherit!
is completely different from the illegitimate children (female) who were cast aside by the nobles. The adopted child (female) is the legal heir approved by the Imperial Senate.
Its inheritance right is second only to the direct children.
Therefore, to become an adopted son (female) of a nobleman, the blood must first be pure and noble.
If either of his parents is a commoner, then he (she) will never be legally adopted by a nobleman.
Secondly, if you want to adopt an heir, you must pay an adoption tax to the Imperial Senate in exchange for the Senate’s recognition of the adopted child (female).
In order to prevent the nobles from abusing the right of adoption and disrupting the normal order of succession to the title, this adoption tax is extremely high.
The average little nobleman can't pay the money even if he loses his fortune, and even for the big nobleman like the St. Hild family, paying an adoption tax is a pain for a long time.
Therefore, the nobles are extremely cautious about adoption.
Generally speaking, only those nobles with rich net worth and no direct children will choose a favorite descendant from the family collateral line as the adopted son (daughter), so as to prevent their title from falling into the hands of people they don't like.
Although Colin did not understand, why the Duke of St. Hilde, who has three sons, would adopt Vera, and also sent Vera to Yeville to train as a mage.
However, this did not affect Vera as the fourth heir to the Duke of the North!
Therefore, she will obtain the swearing allegiance of the Bliss Knight.
That's why she is qualified to say things like "My People".
Therefore, when she revealed her true identity at the bend of the rushing river, the soldiers who were panicked would be so shocked and excited.
Even most of the people have already grasped the hilt of the sword in their hands, and are ready to fight her to death on the spot!
just wait for her to say that sentence.
"I know, you are all scared and panicked." Vera's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, looking at them one by one:
"Me too. Fear, panic.
However, I am not desperate, even if there is no way out now!
Because I know that you will not abandon me.
It's like I didn't abandon you in the first place.
No matter how critical the situation is, I always keep in mind my mission and my duty to you.
As the adopted daughter of the Duke of St. Hilde, I have sworn to protect the people of the North forever!
As citizens of the North, I also hope that you all have the courage to take up arms and join me to protect the North and fight the invading enemies!
I promise, I will fight with you to the last minute! "
"For Ms. Vera!" Colin saw the timing and stood up and shouted.
Originally, he also prepared a long talk, trying to use his identity as the son of the baron to gather people's hearts, but now it seems that it is no longer needed.
He didn't even need to emphasize his identity anymore, Vera's identity was enough to arouse the fighting spirit of this group of soldiers.
The St. Hilde family's rule in the northern border of the empire has lasted for thousands of years, and its prestige is unmatched.
And Vera's noble status, her beautiful beauty, and the kindness she showed along the way have made her the goddess in the hearts of these soldiers.
They will never allow those dirty and ugly trolls to desecrate this goddess!
Even if it pays the price of life.
"For Ms. Vera!"
"For Ms. Vera!"
"Dead battle!"
"Dead battle!"
...
"Boom!"
A flash of lightning tore through the sky, followed by the roar of thunder.
Before the rising sun had time to wake up the sleeping earth, it was covered by dark clouds.
At the bend of the rushing river, the human soldiers are already waiting.
They held their breath and looked ahead, letting raindrops fall on their bodies, motionless like sculptures.
Rain, getting bigger and bigger.
The wind gradually became anxious.
A gray silk thread appeared on the horizon, and it spread quickly, like a raging tide, sweeping toward the human position at the river bend!
"Woo-"
Troll wolf ride, here comes!
"kill!!!"
"For Ms. Vera!"
"For Ms. Vera!"
...
Facing the terrifying troll wolf cavalry, UU reading these human miscellaneous soldiers exploded at this moment with courage that is not inferior to the elite regular army.
Because they know that they have nowhere to go.
Since there is nowhere to go, let's fight hard!
Moreover, the existence of Vera gave these confused soldiers endless fighting spirit and firm belief.
They believe that even if they die here, their story will circulate in the north.
Everyone will know that they used to protect Vera Saint Hild to the death!
Even if the worst happens, they will be lucky enough to return to the embrace of the Lord of Glory with the goddess in their hearts.
"kill!!"
Colin took the lead and was at the forefront of the position.
At this time, he must not back down.
Oncoming is hundreds of sharp spears, like a suffocating forest of death.
"Boom!"
Colin and the wolf cavalry leader collided without fancy.
Then, he just felt like he had hit a tank.
"哧!"
Colin only felt that his eyes were dark, and the huge pain almost made him lose his mind.
He can even clearly hear the cracking sound of his bones all over his body, and the sound of a spear tearing his chest apart.
The sky was spinning, he didn't know how far he was knocked out. After landing, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and at the same time he felt depressed:
I wanted to pretend to be a hero, but I didn’t expect...
I ran into a high-level troll warrior as soon as he came up!
Grass! Is this ‘dead’ too fast!
