After nightfall, the temperature began to drop.
The spring night in the north is also quite cold.
In the camp, the soldiers lighted a bonfire to heat and boil water to cook.
At the same time, I started chatting.
The content, of course, was the meeting of the two marquis during the day, the whip of the Marquis Garcia, and the cry of the Marquis Charles.
Colin walked low-key among these soldiers, listening to their small talk.
Then he suddenly discovered that these soldiers had unexpectedly changed their attitude towards the Marquis Charles.
Before today, these soldiers, especially the defeated soldiers who fled from the Jinghu battlefield, had a very poor attitude towards the Marquis of Charles.
Contempt, disgust, spurn.
It's not surprising that a defeated general has such notoriety.
What's more, the Marquis of Charles also launched an emergency call-up order and used all the people who were called up as cannon fodder bait.
It can be said that if he were not the eldest son of the Duke, if it were not for the prestige of the St. Hild family in the north, the Marquis of Charles would have been eaten alive by these angry soldiers.
However, the cry of Marquis Charles during the day seemed to gradually turn public opinion.
Colin listened carefully to the soldiers' discussion, and gradually recalled.
He didn't know whether the cry of the Marquis Charles was an outpouring of true feelings or a political show.
However, it is somewhat of Liu Daer's demeanor.
That one is the expert in this area, the more he cries, the more popular he is.
In addition, about the whip of the Marquis Garcia, Colin now thinks about it and thinks it is very meaningful.
At the time, Colin's first feeling about this was only two words-domineering!
This whip was not just the Marquis Charles who was smoking, it was simply the Duke of St. Hild's face.
Colin thought that this was the Marquis Garcia venting his dissatisfaction with the Duke. After all, the fiasco was due to the Duke hiding the Black Cavalry in the first place.
But now I think about it, but it also means to help the Marquis Charles get rid of the blame-I have whipped him in public, so you don't hate him anymore.
probably means that.
From this point of view, the Marquis García actually means some care for the Marquis Charles...
Ke Lin was thinking wildly, when suddenly a soldier came behind him:
"Knight Colin, Lord Charles Marquis, please!"
Colin was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the Marquis to come to him.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Colin thought about why the Marquis Charles was looking for him, and followed the soldiers all the way to a luxury tent in the middle of the camp.
"Meet the Lord Marquis!" As the first heir to the loyal lord of the Anglia family, the Marquis Charles is qualified to accept Colin's bow.
"Knight Colin, please get up!"
The Marquis of Charles hurried forward and pulled Colin up in an affectionate manner.
This Marquis looks like he is in his thirties, with a face full of wind and frost, and his naked upper body is covered with bandages. He doesn't know if he has really suffered so many injuries or is doing a show again.
However, Colin doesn't care about this either.
He is not one of those big soldiers, the superiors cry a few casually, and they can get their forgiveness and sympathy.
"I don't know if the Lord Marquis came to me, what is your order?" Colin asked without a trace of Marquis Charles's over-enthusiastic hands, and bowed.
Charles Marquis did not immediately answer, but turned around and took a two-handed sword from the guard and solemnly handed it to Colin.
"Sorry, Knight Colin, your father, Baron Anglia...unfortunately, died on the front line...it was all my fault...this is his sword, please...sorry!"
The Marquis Charles said, but he choked again.
Colin had to admire the other party's acting skills, tears came as soon as he said, much better than some small fresh meat with a dead fish face.
"My lord Marquis, don't do this! Father died for the country, it is his glory, not your fault."
Colin also tried to squeeze out a few tears, with an impassioned expression on his face: "I swear that I will kill all the invading trolls and avenge my father! Lord Marquis must give me this opportunity!"
The eyes of Marquis Charles brightened, obviously he didn't expect Colin to be so interesting and cooperative.
As soon as he grasped Colin's hands, he said loudly: "Relax, Knight Colin! I promise you that I will kill all these **** trolls and avenge Baron Anglia and other soldiers of the North who sacrificed! "
Ke Lin tried to endure the nausea in his heart: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"This is what I should do, Knight Colin!"
The two of them held hands and looked at each other, tearful, and the atmosphere gradually became a bit basic...
After a long time, the two movie kings calmed down from the atmosphere just now.
Marquis Charles cleared up his mood and took Colin to sit down together: "Knight Colin, I heard Vera talk about your experience of fleeing along the way. Therefore, I also want to represent my father and the St. Hild family. Thank you for protecting Wei. Pull away from the trolls!"
"This is what I should do."
Charles Marquis nodded, but his tone was suddenly ambiguous:
"Knight Colin, from what my sister said, I can clearly feel that she values you, and I heard that she personally begged Archbishop Raven to treat you with pure holy water. Haha, I have never Seeing that my sister has paid so much attention to other men."
"Miss Vera's kindness, I have nothing to repay!"
Colin then realized that the marquis probably saw his military talent from Vera's narrative, and that's why he had this act of buying people's hearts.
However, if the Marquis Charles extended an olive branch to him before this battle, then Colin would not hesitate to be loyal.
But now, Colin will not easily get on this broken ship that is in danger of capsizing. UU reading
"But, Knight Colin, even if you inherited the position of the baron of the Anglia family, and you want to marry my sister, I am afraid..." Marquis Charles continued, with a heart-wrenching meaning.
"My lord Marquis, how dare I have such an idea! Miss Vera is a goddess-like figure, where I dare to profanity!" Colin would not admit that he had such an idea.
"Haha, Knight Colin, you don't have to be so pretentious!" Marquis Charles waved his hand with a smile, "With your talents, you will be able to make contributions on the battlefield, and it is not difficult to be promoted to the title."
"My lord Marquis, you have been rewarded. Fighting for the North is my lifelong wish. I dare not expect more."
Colin was a little bit contemptuous in his heart. The Marquis actually used his sister as a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts.
What's more, Colin doesn't believe how much Charles Marquis has the right to speak about Vera's marriage.
Of course, Charles Marquis may not really want to help Colin marry his sister.
This kind of politician’s promise is just as unreliable as the boss’s "work hard, and I will definitely get you a promotion and salary increase in the future."
So, Colin was flattered on the surface, even showing some attachment, but he was secretly wary.
The Marquis of Charles didn't seem to see Colin's perfunctory, and he still treated each other enthusiastically.
The two talked together for a long time, and it seemed that they would meet each other late.
It wasn't until late at night that Colin got up to leave.
The Marquis of Charles personally sent him out of the camp.
Just as Colin bowed to salute and prepare to say goodbye, Marquis Charles suddenly looked behind Colin and said in surprise:
"Huh? Sister, it's so late, you haven't slept yet!"
