reason

"Let go!"

Colin's mouth was bleeding, but his tone was calm and unyielding.

The golden light in Cynthia's eyes slowly faded, and her rationality slowly returned.

So, facing this man with blood red eyes, she was afraid.

Madmen were always afraid of madmen who were even crazier.

So, Cynthia let go of her sword.

Colin didn't care about the longsword that pierced through his chest, as if it didn't exist.

"Who told you that I used your brother's name?"

"Don't you need to treat your wound first?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Colin used a bit of force, and the longsword drew a small wound on Cynthia's throat. Dark red blood flowed down slowly. "I don't want to ask a second time!"

Madman!

Cynthia cursed in her heart.

In this world dominated by men, Cynthia, as a female knight, naturally had to bear more criticism and suspicion.

So, she used her crazy appearance to cover herself with a thick layer of armor.

"Madwoman from the Su Duo Family"

"The Church's Fanatic"

"Bloodthirsty Wild Rose"

… …

Although these titles didn't sound good, they did make Cynthia untouchable in Icestone City.

But now, looking at this man with a longsword in his chest and an extremely indifferent expression, Cynthia could only lower her arrogant head.

"Oliver."

Hearing this name, Colin was stunned.

It wasn't the filial son Sarre?

It was the fat merchant who had once hired Firefox Mercenaries to escort the caravan to Fallen Eagle City!

That guy actually didn't die in the Mirror Lake Camp.

He was really lucky.

"Where is he?"

As soon as Colin asked this question, he saw a fat figure in the crowd flashing, as if he was about to run away.

"Oliver! I see you! Get over here if you don't want to die! "

That fat figure looked as if he was struck by lightning, and instantly froze in place.

After struggling for a while, he finally walked over dejectedly.

"Speak, how did you meet this crazy woman? And why did you betray me? "

Oliver shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't, I didn't betray …"

"Speak!" Colin said sternly.

Oliver was so scared that the fat on his body trembled. Finally, he began to tell the truth.

It turned out that when the Mirror Lake Camp was attacked, Oliver had decisively jumped into the Mirror Lake to survive.

He wasn't a good swimmer.

However, he had a lot of fat on him.

It was common knowledge that fat was less dense than water.

Therefore, it was very easy for fat people to float on the water.

Oliver floated in the lake for three days and three nights. Finally, when he was about to faint from hunger, he reached the shore.

At this time, the troll's main force had already left Mirror Lake.

Therefore, Oliver managed to avoid a calamity.

Then, he ran into another wave of deserters and ran south with them.

Along the way, they met Cynthia who was rushing over from Fallen Eagle City to provide support.

When Cynthia heard that the Black Cavalry was heading north, she borrowed a few hundred men from her uncle, Count Oman, to provide support.

Actually, after the death of Viscounts Su Duo, his first successor, the guy that Colin had once impersonated, Kahn Su Duo, should have led the army to retake Icestone City.

This way, the Su Duo family would be able to regain their title and glory.

However, not everyone could regain their confidence after a crushing defeat and once again step into the bloody and cruel battlefield.

Knight Of Kahn was clearly a guy who was scared out of his wits.

Therefore, he could only rely on his sister, Cynthia Su Duo to lead the army.

However, the Su Duo family's army had been defeated long ago.

Count Oman obviously couldn't lend all his forces to the Su Duo family. Giving his niece a few hundred soldiers was already quite generous.

Therefore, Cynthia, who was extremely short on troops, naturally wouldn't let Oliver's group of deserters go.

She took them in without any explanation and forced them to continue fighting for the Su Duo family.

Strictly speaking, her actions were illegal.

However, the Su Duo family's territory was gone, so how could Cynthia care about this?

Moreover, she was a crazy person in the first place.

However, Oliver was in trouble.

He had finally escaped from the Mirror Lake battlefield, but now he was being forced to do something beyond his ability.

Already traumatized, he didn't want to be cannon fodder anymore.

Therefore, Oliver found Cynthia and wanted to persuade her to let him go.

He had some confidence in this.

After all, he felt that he and the first successor of the Su Duo family, "Knight Of Kahn", were old acquaintances who had gone through trials and tribulations together.

However, when Cynthia saw this merchant who claimed to have traveled with her brother to Fallen Eagle City, she immediately exposed him.

The real Kahn Su Duo had fled to Fallen Eagle City with her, so how could he be related to a merchant group?

Cynthia obviously felt that this was a lie.

Poor Oliver was given a good thrashing, and then he behaved himself.

However, after Cynthia led her army to meet up with the Black Cavalry, Oliver saw a glimmer of hope.

This was because he saw an old acquaintance among the logisticians of the Black Cavalry — the filial son Sarre.

From Sarre's words, Oliver finally understood why he was beaten up by Cynthia.

This was because that "Knight Of Kahn" was actually a fake!

Oliver felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, as a commoner, how could he report a noble?

However, under the urging of Sarre, who wanted the world to be in chaos, Oliver still confessed everything to Cynthia.

He claimed that the one who lied was not him, but Colin.

However, Cynthia wouldn't easily believe a commoner.

In her opinion, the Knight Colin was a noble, so why would he pretend to be her brother?

The Su Duo family was now on the verge of collapse, so what was the benefit of pretending to be their successor?

In the face of Cynthia's questioning, Oliver panicked.

He also couldn't understand why Colin would lie.

In a moment of desperation, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Colin that he would help him build a bridge and use the Tulip Merchant Guild's financial resources to recruit soldiers for the Su Duo family and retake Icestone City.

At the time, Colin didn't agree.

Of course, he didn't object either.

Since he didn't object, then it was basically the same as agreeing.

Therefore, Oliver decided to stick to the idea of sacrificing friends rather than oneself and told Cynthia that Colin had pretended to be the successor of the Su Duo family in order to cheat the Tulip Merchant Guild of their financial support.

This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

Thus, Cynthia was furious.

Someone actually dared to use the Su Duo family's name to cheat outsiders!

Now that the Su Duo family had fallen to the point that they only had a name left, Cynthia naturally couldn't let this name be tarnished.

After she had Oliver identify Colin from the camp, she took advantage of the fact that he was alone to come cause trouble.

After listening to Oliver's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Colin felt a burst of anger in his heart.

As expected, his guess wasn't wrong.

It was Sarre who had interfered in the matter!

Colin glared fiercely at Cynthia, "I can tell you clearly that there was a reason for using your brother's name, and I have never used the Su Duo family's name to scheme anything.

Now that I have suffered a blow from you, let's call it a day! "

After saying this, Colin withdrew the longsword that was pressed against Cynthia's throat.

Cynthia snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

This crazy woman seemed to be very unconvinced.

However, this matter was originally Colin's fault, so he couldn't do anything to Cynthia.

However, Colin didn't plan to let Sarre and Oliver off so easily.

So, Colin turned to Oliver and ordered: "Go find Sarre and bring him to see me. Tell him not to think about running away, otherwise he will have to bear the consequences! "

"Okay, but your injury …" Oliver looked at the longsword on Colin's chest and was secretly shocked.

"I'm fine …"

As soon as Colin's voice fell, he heard Vera's anxious voice.

"Colin! Colin, what's wrong with you! "

It seemed that the commotion here had alarmed the female mage.

At this time, Knight Colin, who was still as steady as Mount Tai, suddenly became shaky.

He pressed his chest hard and screamed with a slightly exaggerated expression: "I … can't … ah!"

Then he fell down.

But the timing of his fall was quite coincidental, and he just fell into the arms of Vera who was rushing over.

When he felt the familiar soft touch, Colin spat out a mouthful of blood: "Quick! Go find Archbishop Raven … holy water … "

Vera had a tearful expression on her face: "But, the archbishop has already used up the holy water last time!"

"…" Colin.
