Spring is in the air, and the sky is clear.

The little drama last night did not have much impact on the army.

As daylight broke, the large army set off as usual, continuing to chase the traces of the Trolls to the north.

Of course, the word “chase” may not be entirely appropriate.

Because, the speed of the Dark Cavalry was too slow.

Colin always felt that it seemed like Marquis Garcia was intentionally waiting for something.

Moreover, progressing at such a slow pace, the troll army must have long abandoned their positions in the North Territory.

Perhaps, this is Marquis Garcia’s plan?

To win without a fight?

Although he was full of doubts, Colin dared not question the commanding officer of the Dark Cavalry.

Moreover, here, or even in the entire North Territory, no one dared to question Marquis Garcia’s Military Order.

In the rear of the slow-moving army, Colin returned to the flat trailer he had just bid farewell not long ago.

Actually. this injury of his looked frightening but was not dangerous at all.

Vera, however, was fairly frightened, so she summoned Archbishop Raven again and asked him to personally cast a healing magic on Colin.

The healing magic performed by the archbishop himself did indeed have a remarkably good effect. After just one night, Colin already felt an itching sensation at the wound site, indicating signs of healing.

But he wasn’t thrilled.

After all, what he wanted was not healing magic, but Holy Water!

Unfortunately, the Archbishop’s Holy water really was used up.

Alas, the drama he performed was a waste.

It looks like he will have to find a way to acquire some Holy Water from the church in the future.

After all, compared to the blood of a high-ranking knight, the pure Holy Water, although rare, is relatively easier to obtain.

Moreover, it’s safe, stable, and risk-free.

Just as Colin was lying on the trailer and starting to contemplate his plan for the church, Oliver hurriedly approached and reported,

“Sir Colin, Sael… he… he…’

“Did he run away?” Colin glanced at the sweaty man, a flash of ferocity on his face.

If Sael really dared to flee, then Colin would label him as a deserter and make sure he could not stay in the entire North Territory. “No, no, he didn’t run away.”

“Dare he not come?” Now Colin was somewhat surprised.

A mere mercenary dared to disobey the orders of a noble?

Colin was just about to instruct Knight Raymon to execute that devoted son when he heard Oliver shaking his head, saying,

“No, Sael has joined the ranks of the Sudor Family. And when I asked Knight Cynthia to hand him over, she… she…”

“What did she say?” Colin’s voice was somewhat cold.

Oliver shrunk his head and murmured, “She said… you have no right to command the people of the Sudor Family…”

“Hmm.” A trace of anger flashed across Colin’s face.

The devoted son seemed to understand the situation well and had quickly latched onto another powerful figure.

And that crazy woman from the Sudor Family seemed determined to resist Colin to the end.

Colin inhaled deeply and calmed his emotions.

He felt no need to rush.

The Sudor Family that had lost its territory was nothing more than a spent force, how long could that madwoman protect Sael?

Sooner or later, Colin would send that devoted son to hell to reunite with his father-

However, this time, Colin seemed to have miscalculated.

Just a few days later, Ice Rock City was recaptured by the Sudor family.

Moreover, the entire recovery process was so simple that it was unbelievable.

When the Dark Cavalry was sluggishly heading north, they found that not only did they not encounter any Troll Army along the way, the trolls had even completely abandoned the cities that they once occupied.

Yes, they totally abandoned them.

The Troll soldiers inside had all gone, as if they had never been there.

Thus, the fleeing nobles gathered by the Dark Cavalry along the way suddenly became spirited.

They led their defeated troops back into the deserted cities and declared that they had reclaimed their lost territories.

Because the Dark Cavalry maintained order.

There wasn’t a situation of fierce contention, and all the lords tacitly agreed to only lead their army into their original fiefdoms, without seizing anyone else’s city.

Even a few families who had lost all their heirs, no one dared to occupy their territories.

After all, this victory was entirely based on the mighty reputation of the Dark Cavalry, and the other lords were merely scavenging in their wake.

If they were ungrateful and took things that didn’t belong to them, Marquis Garcia would not treat them kindly.

The lordless fiefdoms, in the eyes of the lords, should naturally be handed over to Marquis Garcia to dispose of.

So, no matter how Colin gnashed his teeth and cursed the damned luck of the Sudor family, Cynthia was able to recapture Ice Rock City without a fight.

It seemed that the revival of the Sudor family was imminent.

Immediately after, the Dark Cavalry was camped outside of Ice Rock City.

Ice Rock City is the northern city closest to the Sky Ice Plain, Marquis Garcia seems to plan to stay here for a long time and doesn’t intend to continue to fight against the trolls.

Cynthia, who had just recaptured Ice Rock City, was on a roll. She immediately invited Marquis Garcia and a group of nobles into Ice Rock City and announced that a banquet would be held in three days to celebrate this “grand victory”.

Colin also received the banquet invitation, however, he didn’t think that the crazy woman intended to bury the hatchet with him.

Although it’s not the Banquet at Hongmen ambush, Colin felt that Cynthia wouldn’t let him have a good time at the banquet.

Of course, Colin was not frightened.

He’s really curious to see what kind of “program” the mad woman has arranged for him.

Hopefully, it won’t disappoint him.

“Oliver.” Colin put down the banquet invitation in his hand and called out.

“Sir, what do you need?”

These days, Oliver was always treated as a servant by Colin, which was a punishment for Oliver revealing Colin’s use of a false identity secret.

“I need a ceremonial dress for the banquet, do you know which tailor shop in Ice Rock City can make it?”

This time Colin sneaked out with a concealed identity, so naturally, he wouldn’t bring a ceremonial dress.

Upon hearing this, Oliver immediately put on a flattering smile: “Sir Colin, our

Tulip Chamber of Commerce has a stationed point in Ice Rock City, where there are definitely skilled tailors who can make a beautiful ceremonial dress for you!”

Colin looked at Oliver with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and didn’t say anything.

Until Oliver started to feel uneasy and broke out in cold sweat.

“Alright, let’s go to the place you mentioned.”

“Yes!” Oliver breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since witnessing Colin’s brutality during the fight with Cynthia that night, Oliver was especially afraid of this Baron heir.

Even though Oliver has faced other nobles with higher ranks, none of them was able to bring him such a great oppressive force.

When Colin didn’t immediately agree to Oliver’s suggestion, he instantly realized that he had made a mistake.

After all, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is Oliver’s territory, suggesting to go there to find a tailor obviously showed his intent to escape from Colin’s control.

But, Colin agreed anyway.

This made Oliver even more nervous.

The banquet was in three days, time was pressing, so they immediately headed for the stationed point of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, as Oliver had suggested..
