Mirror lake

"… Are you willing to be mercenaries for the rest of your life?

Don't tell me you're willing to live this kind of life where you lick blood from the edge of your blade and live in constant danger?

Are you willing to fight only for money, and not for glory forever?

Now, there is an opportunity in front of you!

A chance to change your destiny!

A chance for you to make a name for yourself!

It's a chance for you to get rid of your commoner status and become nobles. You can even get your own land!

Take your weapons and follow me, Marquis Charles, and the House of Saint Hilde. Defeat the Trolls! "

…

Looking at the group of mercenaries who were stirred up by Sarre's speech, Colin suddenly smiled and said to Oliver beside him.

"You don't say, this filial son is really a qualified speaker. I was almost incited by him."

"He's just a despicable guy." Oliver's expression was extremely ugly. He was at a loss for what to do. "What should we do? Are we really going to Mirror Lake? "

"Do we still have a choice? That kid even dared to kill his own father. "

"But …" Oliver was unwilling to give up.

However, he also knew that he had no other choice.

Without the escort of the Firefox Mercenaries, there was no way he could safely bring these goods to Fallen Eagle City.

But if they really went to Mirror Lake, there was a high probability that these goods would be detained and used as military supplies. In this regard, there was no need to overestimate the conscience of the army.

Especially during wartime.

Moreover, according to his guess, the Marquis army gathered at Mirror Lake was most likely a defeated army.

If this was true, then going to Mirror Lake would be even more dangerous.

Compared to the hesitant Oliver, Colin changed his mind and wanted to go to Mirror Lake.

Baron Angele had followed Marquis Charles to the war. If Marquis Charles' army was defeated and retreated to Mirror Lake, then Colin could find his father there.

Since his father was right in front of him, there was no need for him to go to Fallen Eagle City to seek help from his elder sister.

As for the danger of the battlefield …

In any case, Colin could play dead.

Moreover, there was probably no one who could act as well as he did.

On the other side, Sarre had completely taken control of the situation. He began to appoint the sub-leaders, and then told everyone to pack up and prepare to leave.

The cavalrymen from the House of Saint Hilde had long since left. They were probably searching for other unlucky bastards in the surrounding area. All that was left was a pile of horse dung and Sarroux's lonely corpse.

A corpse?

Colin suddenly stepped forward.

"Where are you going?" Oliver shouted from behind. He was extremely insecure at the moment. He felt that Colin was the only person in the entire camp who could make him feel at ease.

"To bury Mr. Sarroux," Colin said without turning his head.

"You …" Oliver's eyes widened. He couldn't understand why Colin wanted to collect Sarroux's corpse.

Are you that close to Sarroux?

Was he not afraid of angering Sarre?

After hesitating for a long time, Oliver did not follow.

Thus, Colin walked alone to Sarroux's corpse and began to dig a hole.

Ever since he advanced, Colin found that his strength had greatly increased. Moreover, he could already control the Holy Light energy to circulate in his body, thus speeding up the recovery of his physical strength and gaining a slight increase in strength.

Using the opportunity of digging a hole, Colin could test and adapt to his new strength.

Soon, a hole that was about a meter deep was dug.

When Colin climbed out of the hole, he saw the expressionless Sarre.

"Let's carry him together?" Colin smiled and pointed at Sarroux's corpse.

Sarre stood still and said coldly, "Collecting the corpse of a traitor will damage your reputation, Knight Of Kahn."

"Haha, it's okay. I'm a wandering knight who lost his fief. I don't have any reputation to begin with." Seeing that Sarre was unwilling to help, Colin dragged Sarroux's corpse into the hole alone.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart, "What does Colin Angele have to do with Kahn Su Duo's reputation?"

"Bang!"

The corpse fell into the hole, splashing up smoke and dust.

"Knight Of Kahn, you should be going to the Mirror Lake Camp with us, right?" Sarre's voice came from outside the hole.

"Of course, this is my responsibility as a knight. Moreover, this is also the best opportunity to restore the Su Duo family's honor." Colin replied seriously.

"Very good! We will leave in half an hour. I look forward to continuing to travel with you. "

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Colin squatted in the hole and wiped his sweat. After the footsteps above gradually disappeared, he quietly took out his dagger and water bag.

"Chi!"

"Gulp … Gulp …"

— — —

When the Firefox Mercenaries saw the military camp by the Mirror Lake from afar, the sky was completely dark.

The sentinels patrolling the periphery had already discovered this group of people. After seeing the emergency conscription order in Sarre's hand, they instructed them to gather at the location.

Oliver followed the team forward, looking like he had nothing to live for.

Colin drank the "water" in the water bag as he walked. He did not seem to be in a good mood either.

This was because he found that the blood of the rank 2 warrior, Sarroux, could not help him increase his strength.

The effect of drinking it was exactly the same as the deer blood and the thief who was nothing. It could only restore stamina.

Colin felt that there were two possibilities for the effect of the blood.

One possibility was that the previous advancement was just a coincidence, and it was not because of Knight Carter's blood.

This was obviously the worst case scenario, which meant that the blood did not have the effect of increasing his strength.

There was another possibility.

That was, not all the blood of high-grade professions had the same effect. Perhaps, only the blood of high-grade knights could help Colin increase his strength.

Therefore, further experiments were needed.

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

After all, compared to the warriors on the streets, the number of knights was small, and most of them were of noble status. Their blood was not easy to get …

After entering the military camp, Colin realized that the area was huge, and he could not see the end of it at a glance.

The camp was crowded with people, and he did not know how many people had gathered.

However, Colin could see that the people gathered in the camp were obviously not regular soldiers. They should be miscellaneous soldiers like the Firefox Mercenaries who were temporarily recruited.

Their weapons and equipment were not uniform, and some of them even held farming tools like hoes. It made people wonder if they were farmers who were urgently recruited directly from the fields.

It seemed that the people gathered here were really a group of cannon fodder …

After settling down in the camp, Oliver came over again. "Knight Of Kahn, do you see the situation in the east camp?"

"That should be the regular army camp of the House of Saint Hilde."

The military camp by the Mirror Lake was divided into two large areas. Unlike the messy west camp where Colin and the others were, the east camp was obviously orderly and heavily guarded.

"That's right! I tried to take a few steps in that direction, but before I could get close, I was blocked by the patrolling soldiers. "

This was not surprising.

The regular army camp would definitely not allow people to enter as they pleased.

Colin looked at the eager Oliver and immediately understood what he meant. "You want to go to the east camp?"

"Yes." Oliver nodded repeatedly. "You have seen the situation here. Once a fight breaks out, we will definitely be cannon fodder!

Therefore, we had better find a way to sneak into the camp of the regular army in the east. It will be safer there. However, I can't get in there. But you are different. As long as you say that you are from the Su Duo family, you will definitely be able to get in. "

Colin was a little hesitant.

Because he knew that he, the fake Kahn Su Duo, could deceive the Firefox Mercenaries and Oliver, but if he really went to meet the real nobles of this world, there was a high probability that he would be exposed.

Of course, he could also go there with his real identity. This way, it would be easier to find his father, Baron Angele — if he was also in this camp.

But if Baron Angele wasn't here … …

"Knight Of Kahn, after you go there, please inform the Marquis that I am willing to contribute all the goods I have brought to the House of Saint Hilde free of charge!"

Colin looked at the fat merchant in front of him in surprise. He admired the other party's decisiveness. "You are really willing."

"What can I do if I am not willing …" Oliver reluctantly squeezed out a bitter smile and then encouraged again. "Of course, I will not forget the help you have given me. If I survive this time, I and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce will thank you greatly! "

Looking at Oliver's serious and enthusiastic eyes, Colin could only nod and say, "Okay, I will try."

After leaving the tent, Colin went all the way to the east.

Just as he was still hesitating whether to reveal his true identity, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Young Master Colin, is it really you?"
