Original Vampire

Chapter 65

Outside Ice Rock City, the strong smell of blood has not yet completely dissipated.

Countless vultures are holding their carnival banquet here.

Three days have passed since that tragic battle, and the atmosphere in Ice Rock City is still extremely suppressed.

On the square in the center of the city, a corpse was gathered, ready to be burned.

They used to be great characters from the north, noble and elegant nobles, and rulers of one side. But now, they are like dead dogs, dragged at will and thrown into the fire. in.

"...This is the fate of the betrayers!"

On the square, an officer was reading aloud the crimes of these lords and nobles.

The onlookers watched all this in fear and excitement.

They couldn't understand why these nobles would betray their loyal Duke Saint Hild, but seeing that the nobles who used to be aloof and remote were thrown to the dust, their hearts were filled with inexplicable pleasure.

Colin stood among them, looking at the strange or familiar faces in the square, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

The two brothers of the Saint Hild family are really ruthless!

Nearly a hundred lords, just like killing a chicken, they are all killed!

"Colin, let's go. The ceremony is about to begin, you must not be late!"

Elder sister Caitlin urged on the side, she is very uncomfortable here. The smell of blood keeps covering his nose.

"Okay. Let's go."

Someone is sad, while others are happy.

As if this World is always maintaining a balance.

Those old lords die, naturally there will be new lords born.

Perhaps in order to dilute the killing atmosphere and stabilize people's hearts, Duke Saint Hild decided to hold the ceremony in Ice Rock City today.

It stands to reason that the awarding of the Northern Territory should be carried out in the Roar of Winter City.

But at this time, no one dared to oppose Duke Saint Hild who was able to kill.

The ceremony is held in the main hall of the glorious church in Ice Rock City.

Colin came here once before, to buy holy water.

And now, for this ceremony, this place has obviously been rearranged.

The multicolored glazed glass is polished to be particularly bright, reflecting brilliant brilliance under the sunlight. The four walls in the hall are hung with various murals, right in the center, Lord of Radiance The sculpture stands majestically, as if watching every nobleman present.

When Colin came in, the place was full of nobles who came to watch the ceremony.

Although there are a lot of people and it seems to be lively, Colin knows that most of these nobles are generals in the Black Cavalry.

They are actually vassals of Marquis Garcia.

There are very few vassals who are truly loyal to Duke Saint Hild-because most of them have become corpses in the square.

Besides Colin, those who can still attend are the aristocrats headed by Count Uman.

However, Colin knows that Count Uman is not "turning to war" at all. This guy is simply the undercover agent arranged by Duke Saint Hild in the lord's coalition!

The purpose is to incite the dissatisfaction of the lords and lead them to confront the Saint Hild family.

Finally, the two brothers of the Saint Hild family dug a pit and buried it together.

Since three years ago, these real bosses in the North have already begun to make arrangements, sweeping away all the external and internal threats in the North, and finally come to an end today.

Colin lamented in his heart, it seems that the biggest suspect of murdering him will continue to be at large, and he does not know when he will be able to completely eliminate this threat.

With a melodious bell, Duke Saint Hild walked into the hall.

All the nobles immediately stood up, bowed and saluted to welcome the arrival of the Duke.

It is the first time Colin has seen this master of the North.

He looks like he is about fifty years old, he is fat, and his hair is slightly white. Although he tried to straighten his waist as he walked into the hall, Colin still saw that the opponent was unable to do what he wanted.

It stands to reason that this is not the state that a Knight should have in his prime.

However, Colin knows that although this Duke Saint Hild once crowned the Northern Territory, even known as this generation Saint Hild, he is most hopeful to step into the sixth rank Knight of Sacred Domain!

However, just five years ago, the Duke was seriously injured after a duel with the previous Emperor Troll.

Since then, he has not only severed the hope of stepping into Sacred Domain, but has also been stunned. His hair began to gray, his waist began to buckle, and his body became increasingly obese.

The great Great Knight of the past has become a middle-aged uncle who is blessed.

"Honorable lords, brave Knights!" Duke Saint Hild stood still on the stage and said in a loud tone,

"The recent northern border is a bit uneasy. The invasion of troll, the rebellion of the lords... But under the protection of the Lord of Radiance, and with your full support and heroic fighting, we still won the final victory!"

"Victory!"

……

There was a cheer from the audience at the right time, and the nobles applauded and congratulated.

Duke Saint Hild pressed his hand and continued: "In recognition of the heroes who have worked so hard for this victory, I will award them one after another one after another!"

The audience naturally cheered again.

There have been no new nobles in the North for a long time, and this time, it seems that a large number of new nobles will be born.

After all, that many old aristocrats have vacated their positions and land. Duke Saint Hild must give a lot of rewards whether it is to soothe the people, or to better rule the north.

First accepted the award, and it turned out to be the second person of Black Cavalry-Dawson Count.

The confidant of Marquis Garcia was conferred as a Marquis by the Duke.

This is also the second sealed Marquis in the North.

After this, the Marquis of Dawson will also leave Marquis Garcia's vassal sequence and swear allegiance to Duke Saint Hild.

This also indicates that Duke Saint Hild, after sweeping away the two major threats in the North, finally began to move towards the third threat, Black Cavalry.

And his method is not beyond Colin's expectation-differentiation and win-win.

Sure enough, a large number of Black Cavalry's backbone generals accepted the Duke's canonization.

These new nobles born from the Black Cavalry, will they continue to obey Marquis Garcia's orders in the future? Or will it change the door and be loyal to the new owner?

……

Finally, Colin waited for his name.

elder sister Caitlin clapped excitedly, as if it was herself who received the canonization.

With cheers, Colin strode to the center of the venue, one-knee kneels in front of Duke Saint Hild.

The Duke held the long sword in front of him, and said solemnly:

"Colin · Anglia, you use your courage, wisdom, and faith to prove to the Lord of Radiance and me Your loyalty and value!

Here, in the name of Duke Saint Hild, on behalf of Lord of Radiance and Emperor Your Majesty, I canonize you as Viscount Anglia!

I hope you use Your loyalty, your life, protect this glory!"

After that, the Duke’s blade clicked on Colin's head and shoulders.

"I, Colin · Anglia, swear by the heroic spirits of our ancestors to dedicate my loyalty to the Lord of Radiance and to Duke Saint Hild!

Your will is my direction, Your..."

Colin was reciting the oath, but he was inexplicably surprised.
