This time Colin gave his real name.
Because he knew that these people in front of him were not the idiots of the Firefox Mercenary Group. If they used the false identity of "Kahn Sudo", the probability of being exposed was extremely high.
Moreover, he didn't know who wanted to kill him before.
Now that he had guessed who the murderer was, there was no need to hide his observation.
There is only one thing he wants to do right now - revenge!
"Angelet?" The female mage frowned her beautiful slender eyebrows, as if she had heard this surname before, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Lord of Graycastle Town, Baron Angele, Roaring White Bear." Knight Bliss reminded him.
"Yes, it's my father."
Colin clasped his left hand on his chest, half-bowed, and performed a standard aristocratic salute.
The female mage hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bent her knees, pressing her lower abdomen with her right hand, holding the hem of the mage's robe with her left hand, and returned the salute.
really!
Colin's heart moved, this female mage is really a noble.
Hehe, a mage among nobles.
This is really interesting.
Moreover, looking at the respectful attitude of Knight Bliss next to him and his desperate guarding attitude along the way, this female mage may have a close relationship with the Saint Hilde family!
However, Colin did not delve into her true identity.
Nowadays, the relationship between the imperial nobles and the Council of Mages is cold, so this female mage born into a noble family is naturally an extremely embarrassing existence.
And she has been hiding her face obviously because she doesn't want others to know her true identity.
Colin came here with Xiaobai's help, just hoping to establish a relationship with the real masters of the North - the St. Hilde family.
This is the key to him being able to avenge his predecessor and get himself out of the crisis completely.
"I didn't expect that Knight Colin was also in the Mirror Lake Camp." Bliss looked at Colin expressionlessly, with a hint of scrutiny in his indifferent eyes.
"It's just the right time." Colin responded vaguely, then changed the subject and asked about the purpose of this trip, "I would like to ask, how are we going to go next?"
"I wonder if Colin Knight has any suggestions?" Bliss did not answer, but asked instead.
Although Colin's identity qualifies him to join the discussion, it does not mean that he can automatically gain the trust of Bliss and others.
Colin didn't pay attention to Bliss's caution. He just picked up a branch and drew a simple map on the ground:
"If I remember correctly, the nearest big city to us is Fallen Eagle City, which is about four or five days away in the southeast. Judging from the current direction of travel, that should be our destination, right?"
"Yes." Seeing that Colin was so familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, Bliss stopped denying it.
Colin smiled slightly and kept drawing circles on the dots representing Falling Eagle City with the branch in his hand: "Then do you think we can survive until Falling Eagle City?"
Bliss stopped talking.
But Colin still caught a hint of unconfidence in his pretended to be determined eyes.
Along the way, the cavalry squad left behind by the St. Hilde family at Jinghu Camp suffered heavy casualties, but the pursuers behind them seemed to be endless and getting tighter.
Apparently, Bliss also began to feel that the situation was not good.
"I wonder if Knight Colin has any suggestions?" This time it was the female mage who asked.
Colin smiled and drew a big X on the dot representing Fallen Eagle City, and said flatly: "We can't go to Fallen Eagle City, it's a dead end!"
The female mage frowned, seeming a little unhappy with Colin's assertion.
But Knight Bliss next to him asked: "Then which direction do you think we should go?"
Seeing that Bliss did not deny what he said, Colin immediately understood that Bliss must have noticed that a large net was quietly forming around him, waiting for them to crash into it.
Since Fallen Eagle City is their most likely escape direction, the trolls will definitely set up numerous obstacles in that direction.
"Go north!" Colin drew a huge arrow on the ground, pointing straight to the north.
"North?" The female mage suddenly screamed, "Then we turned back again!"
That's right, if you go north, it's the direction of Jinghu Camp.
Bliss said nothing, staring at the simple map on the ground in a daze.
Colin raised his hand and lowered it, signaling the other party to calm down, and then explained: "If you also think that going north is an impossible option, it doesn't mean that the trolls don't expect us to turn back."
"But... but isn't that... throwing yourself into a trap?"
"There is indeed a big net around us, and it is constantly tightening." Colin opened his right palm and tightened it instantly. "But the weakest point of this net is in the north! If we want to break free, we'd better The only choice is to turn back and head north!"
"And..." Colin paused, "Marquis Charles's real army should also be in the north."
Knight Bliss's eyes flashed, but he remained silent.
The female mage had no scruples about this, and she was not surprised that Colin could guess Marquis Charles's combat intentions. Instead, she asked directly: "Do you think Marquis Charles has hope of defeating the troll army?"
Colin spread his hands and shook his head.
He didn't even know how many troops Marquis Charles had, what their combat effectiveness was, what his on-the-spot command capabilities were...etc., so how could he possibly guess the outcome of the battle.
"Whether Marquis Charles wins or loses, it has little to do with us. Because the first thing we have to do now is to jump out of the encirclement being woven by the pursuers.
After jumping out, we can release the Sentinel Cavalry to inquire about the Jinghu battlefield, and then make further plans. That way, there would be more room for maneuver. "
The female mage thought for a while and felt that what Colin said made sense.
However, she had focused on arcane research since she was a child and had not received military education. She was also undecided about Colin's bold suggestion, so she had no choice but to turn to Knight Bliss for help.
Bliss pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "I agree."
Colin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although turning around and heading north was indeed the best chance to break free from the trap, the reason why he really didn't want to continue moving forward was not stated:
Further ahead is Eaglefall City, and the biggest suspect in the murder of his predecessor—sister Caitlin—is right there!
If it was just Caitlin's conspiracy, then Colin wasn't actually too scared.
However, if Count Uman, the lord of Fallen Eagle City, is also involved, then if he goes there now, he will truly be trapped.
"Okay! Then we will turn around tomorrow and go north!" Seeing that Bliss also agreed to Colin's plan, the female mage also made up her mind.
Then, she returned the kitten in her arms to Colin and asked, "Why do you call it Xiaobai?"
Colin smiled and took the pure blue short-haired cat: "Isn't the name Xiaobai not good?"
"No, it's just...a little unexpected."
"Haha!" Colin laughed and replied meaningfully, "Isn't it a good thing to always let others guess your thoughts?"
The female mage also smiled, and her big eyes instantly turned into crescent moons: "That makes sense!"
