The news of the Duke's military order quickly spread throughout Icestone City.
The city was filled with a scene of jubilation.
Everyone believed that as long as Marquis García personally took action, then this battle of revenge would be a sure thing.
Of course, saying it was a sure thing was already being modest.
After all, ever since the Black Cavalry had officially formed an army, they had never tasted defeat.
However, Colin wasn't very happy.
Moreover, as the days went by, his worries grew deeper.
Because Marquis García didn't seem to have any plans to lead his troops north.
Moreover, the private armies of the various lords of the Northern Frontier were continuously converging towards Icestone City, almost turning the entire city into a huge military camp.
As more and more soldiers entered Icestone City, the confidence of the people in the city also grew.
In their eyes, this should be the various lords responding to Marquis García's call to gather their troops and cooperate with the Black Cavalry to attack the Sky Ice Plains.
However, Colin, who knew the original text of the Duke's military order, wasn't so optimistic.
Because he clearly remembered that Knight Bliss had personally told him that the Duke's order was for Marquis García to lead the Black Cavalry to chase after the trolls, but never for him to gather the private armies of the various lords to attack together!
Could it be that Marquis García had lied about the Duke's military order?
What was he planning to do by gathering so many troops?
Was he really planning to attack the Sky Ice Plains?
Or …
Colin's bad premonition became more and more serious.
For the next ten days, the Black Cavalry still didn't make any moves, but the private armies of the various lords of the Northern Frontier were gathering more and more.
Seeing that the situation was about to slide into the most dangerous abyss, and that Icestone City was about to become a huge barrel of gunpowder, Colin had already made plans to escape.
However, at this time, he suddenly received a message from Vera.
"Miss Vera wants to see me?"
"Yes."
Under the gaze of the maid, Colin hesitated for a while before finally sighing, "Alright, lead the way."
The maid led Colin into the Su Duo Clan's castle and arrived at a garden in the backyard of the castle.
In the garden, Colin saw Vera's figure at a glance.
After not seeing her for a long time, this female mage had lost a lot of weight.
It seemed that she was also worried about the current tense situation.
"Colin, you're here!"
Vera looked calm and serene under the morning sun.
She wasn't dressed in noble attire today. Instead, she was dressed casually.
She was wearing a thin white shirt and a short black skirt. There was a small rose embroidered on the left breast of the shirt and the corner of the skirt.
However, even with such a simple disguise, it was hard to hide her beauty.
When Colin came in, she was concentrating on taking care of a plant in the garden.
After seeing Colin, Vera smiled and waved at him, as though she was a young girl who was waving at her first love.
He didn't know why, but as soon as he saw Vera, Colin's anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
He walked over and bowed: "Good morning, Miss Vera."
"Good morning, Colin. Have you had breakfast? "
"Yes, I have."
"Then, would you like something to drink?"
"Coffee."
Vera gestured for the maid to bring a cup of coffee.
Colin thanked him and took it. He took a sip.
After the rich bitterness entered his mouth, it turned into a faint sweetness, with a fragrance that seeped into his soul.
"Not bad, right?" Vera smiled when she saw Colin's expression. "This is the Su Duo Clan's treasure."
"Haha, then I am still taking advantage of you."
Colin held the cup of coffee and squatted down beside Vera. He looked at the plant in front of her and asked: "Is this the flower that you planted?"
"This is not a flower." Vera shook her head. "This is the twin grass. It is an extremely precious plant for mages. Moreover, I did not plant it. It was given to me by the Knight Of Kahn. "
"Is that so? It seems that the Knight Of Kahn is really generous!"
First, he gave her a cup of coffee, and then he gave her a precious plant. Did this Knight Of Kahn empty the Su Duo Clan's coffers just to please Vera?
Although Colin praised this kind of man on the surface, he was already cursing him in his heart.
Tsk tsk!
This kind of man could be said to be the public enemy of all men. This was because their behavior raised the psychological expectations of girls and greatly damaged the interests of other men.
For example, Colin did not know what gift to give to Vera now. He did not know what gift to give her. He could not even afford to give her a better gift.
Vera did not know what the man next to her was thinking. She stared at the twin grass in front of her and suddenly sighed.
"Do you know? This twin grass looks like a single plant, but it is actually a pair.
Ever since it was born, the branches of this pair of twin grass have been entangled together to support each other. However, because they are entangled too tightly, they torture each other.
Do you see that drop of light green juice?
That is the result of their branches entangling and squeezing each other. "
As she was speaking, the drop of juice gradually formed and suddenly fell to the ground.
When it fell to the ground, it did not seep into the soil. Instead, it turned into an amber-like green gem.
Vera carefully picked up the green gem and explained, "This is the crystallization of the twin grass's juice. It is an extremely precious spellcasting material. However, this is actually the blood and tears that they shed when they torture each other. "
This was the first time that Colin had seen such a magical plant. He could not help but look at it a few more times out of curiosity.
However, he immediately realized that Vera's words seemed to be implying something.
The Duke Of St. Hilde and Marquis García. Was the relationship between the two brothers similar to this twin grass? Were they supporting each other, but at the same time, they were also fighting against each other?
Vera put away the crystal of the twin grass. She then turned around and said to Colin, "You should know that my father and uncle are in a bad situation right now. So, can you help me persuade them?"
Your father and uncle are in a bad situation right now …
Colin was speechless. However, on the surface, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. However, I am an outsider … It is not easy to persuade them. Have you tried to persuade them yourself? "
"Of course I have." Vera puffed up her cheeks and seemed to be a little angry. "However, my uncle did not listen to my advice at all. As for my father, I have already written two letters and sent them to Winter City. However, both letters have been ignored. "
Colin was silent.
Vera was a little anxious. "Do you know? Recently, I have received news that the Golden Lion Legion has begun to assemble. It seems that they are planning to march towards Icestone City! "
Colin was shocked.
The Golden Lion Legion was the direct army of the House of Saint Hilde. If this army was also mobilized, did it not mean that the Duke Of St. Hilde had already shown that he would not compromise and was even prepared to die together with them?
"Colin, you are always able to come up with a solution in a desperate situation. This time, you must help me!"
In the face of Vera's gentle request, Colin could not say no at all.
At this time, he finally understood what it meant to be a "femme fatale".
"Okay. I will go with you to see Marquis García. "
"Thank you, Colin!"
"Don't be happy too early. I can only try my best to persuade them. As for whether it will succeed …"
"Whether it succeeds or not, I will be grateful!"
