Night fell.
The Black Cavalry built a camp on the spot, and piles of bonfires burned, slightly dispelling the cold and **** smell of the sky.
Groups of troll captives were detained in batches and put under strict control, and the seized grain and grass were also being cleaned up.
In the temporary command post in the middle of the camp, Colin took a roasted leg of lamb handed by his guards and gnawed at it.
After gnawing, he poured another pot of sheep blood into his stomach, and then he hiccuped comfortably.
When Prince Okamoto, who was so hungry that his chest was on his back, saw this, he swallowed suddenly.
But unfortunately, Colin did not prepare a dinner for Prince Okamoto. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said, "Okamoto, I have always regarded you as a friend, but I did not expect that you wanted to calculate. I."
Hearing these words of Colin's pretense, Prince Okamoto burst into tears with excitement, as if deeply moved, and at the same time shook his head madly, as if he had suffered a great grievance, and said loudly:
"Viscount-sir, it is my honor to be your friend! I cherish this friendship very much! But please believe me, I am also forced to be helpless this time. It was all conspired by the cowardly Mr. St. Theon's family. , Even your Majesty was bewitched by him, I was just following orders, and I couldn't help myself!"
Colin leaned back in the chair lazily, while scoring the performance of the actor in front of him in his heart, and asked with a smile:
"How much do you know about Mr. Hoodoo's specific plan?"
"I know his arrangements on this side of the Troll Empire. As for the northern side, I know very little."
"Then you know."
"Yes, yes." Prince Okamoto nodded repeatedly, and then began to tell.
Sure enough, it was almost the same as Colin had guessed. This time the troll empire made up the last bit of the family property, and there were 80,000 combatable soldiers in total.
But they were not prepared to throw this little family into the whirlpool of the north, because if it messed up, the entire troll empire might be in danger of falling apart.
And to be honest, the current troll empire really can't afford the huge military expenses of this kind of expedition.
Therefore, Mr. Hao asked them to aim at Colin, or more accurately, the black cavalry in Colin's hands.
This army can be said to be the nightmare of the troll empire. Every troll dreams of wanting that black lion flag to disappear in the world forever.
As a result, the two sides hit it off. The Troll Empire sent 30,000 regular troops, plus 70,000 recruits temporarily conscripted, to form a mighty 100,000 expeditionary army, making the illusion of a southward invasion of the northern territory.
Then Mr. Colin instigated Charles St. Hild and asked him to go to Ice Rock City to report the letter, persuading Colin to take advantage of the emptiness inside the Troll Empire to attack the Troll King City.
But in fact, there are still 50,000 elite troops hidden in the Troll King City, just waiting for Colin to enter unsuspectingly, banging his head and breaking his blood.
At the same time, the army from the south expedition to the north will also turn back halfway, control the three military forts along the snow mountain range, and completely cut off the black cavalry's back path.
In this way, this terrifying cavalry that can influence the situation of the North and the Troll Empire can be strangled in the territory of the Troll Empire.
After listening to Prince Okamoto's narration, Colin looked calm and could not see the joy or anger.
After a while, he asked again: "How much do you know about Mr. Hood's plan in the north?"
"I only know that Mr. Wang has instigated the Dawson family and the Uman family. They will be the main force against the Golden Lion Army."
"Is it just for the Golden Lion Army?"
Prince Okamoto was stunned, and then said: "My lord, with all due respect, the military power that the St. Hild family in the north can rely on is currently the Golden Lion Legion. The remaining lords are not strong and have an impact on the overall situation. Not much, not to mention, these people are still hordes, and they may not be willing to work hard for the Saint Hild family.
Of course, if the Black Cavalry in your hand is still in the north, it must be a force that cannot be ignored. Therefore, Mr. Wang made this plan at the beginning. "
Colin shook his head: "No, I'm talking about the San Lorenzo family. The San Theon family wants to sweep the north, will the royal family just sit back and watch?"
"Royal family?" Prince Okamoto frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said in an uncertain tone, "Viscount-sir, in the plan of Mr. Hooter I know, there is no arrangement for the San Lorenzo family at all.
As if... as if he was sure that the San Lorenzo family would just ignore the chaos in the north. "
"Oh?" Colin frowned and said in doubt, "but you should know the grievances between the San Lorenzo family and the San Theon family?"
"Yes, I know. At the beginning, the Saint Theon family produced a'judge' who personally cut off the head of the'Black Emperor' of the San Lorenzo family. This also led to the tragic fate of the Saint Theon family later. ."
"Since you know this, you should also understand that although it was the Saint Hield family that destroyed the Saint Theon family's army, the real messenger behind the scenes is probably the San Lorenzo family.
So, how could Mr. Xiang not guard against the San Lorenzo family this time in his attempt to seize the North? "
"Master Viscount, I really don't know this." Prince Okamoto said with a bitter face, "Mr. Hood is just using us, not to the point of concealment."
Colin rubbed his eyebrows, lost in thought.
When Prince Okamoto saw this, for fear that the other party thought he had something to hide, after thinking and meditation for a while, he quickly added: "Viscount Lord, I suddenly remembered something that might help you."
"Say."
"Mr. Hooter is actually a powerful mage, and he has close contacts with high-level figures in the Yevil Council. I guess that there may be mage forces involved in the Northern Rebellion. Perhaps this is how he responded to Sheng Luo. The method of the Renzo family."
"Mage?" Colin's brows were still frowned.
He didn't think that the mages of Yevil had the ability to prevent the San Lorenzo family from intervening in the fight in the north.
Although the power of the forbidden curse of the mages is extremely terrifying, the price it pays is also terrible.
Colin didn't believe that those high-ranking wizards were willing to pay the price of their lives for helping the Saint Theon family seize the northern realm.
What's more, forbidden curse is like nuclear weapons, but nuclear weapons have deterrent power only when they are not fired.
Once it is sent out, the threat is not big, because the next situation is endless.
Therefore, if the mages want to interfere with the situation in the North, they can only rely on conventional means But with conventional means, how could Yevel influence the decision of the San Lorenzo family?
Colin shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being. After all, he had too little information to make accurate judgments.
Immediately, he looked at Prince Okamoto with an unpredictable smile, and said lightly:
"Okamoto, I will be a guest in Troll King City next, so I still need you to help me send a greeting to your Troll Emperor."
Prince Okamoto stared at Colin for a while, wondering if he had heard him wrong just now.
He had already told the opponent that the Troll King City was a trap with 50,000 elite troops hidden in it. Why did Colin still want to be a guest?
But looking at Colin's serious expression, Prince Okamoto knew that he had heard it right.
Confused, he didn't dare to ask more, he could only nod his head and said:
"Yes, I am willing to serve you."
