“Let go!”

Blood seeped from Colin’s mouth, but his tone remained calm and strong.

The golden hues in Cynthia’s eyes gradually faded, and her sanity returned.

So, she was scared of the man before her eyes, whose eyes were blood-red.

A crazy person is always afraid of someone crazier.

Thus, Cynthia loosened her grip on her sword.

Colin disregarded the long sword plunged through his chest, as if it didn’t exist at all.

“Who told you I pretended to be your brother?”

“Shouldn’t you treat your wounds first?”

“Shut up!” Colin slightly increased his pressure, and a small cut appeared on Cynthia’s throat.Crimson blood trickled down. “I don’t want to ask again!”

Madman!

Cynthia cursed in her heart.

In this male-dominated world, Cynthia, a female knight, had naturally borne more criticism and doubt.

So she had girded herself in madness, like a tough armor.

“The madwoman from the Sudor family”

“The Church’s fanatic”

“The bloodthirsty wild rose”

Although these titles were not pleasant, they did allow Cynthia to be untouchable in Ice Rock City.

But now, looking at the man who was indifferent even with a long sword through his chest, Cynthia had to bow her proud head.

“Oliver.”

Hearing this name, Colin was taken aback.

It wasn’t the dutiful son Sael?

But that fat merchant who once hired the Firefox Mercenary Group to escort a caravan to Fallen Eagle City!

That guy was even able to survive the mirror lake encampment.

What a lucky life.

“Where is he?”

No sooner had Colin asked this than he saw a fat figure trying to flee the crowd.

“Oliver! I see you! Come here if you don’t want to die!”

The fat figure froze in place as if struck by lightning.

He hesitated for a while, finally dropped his head sadly and walked over.

“Speak. How did you meet this mad woman? And why did you betray me?”

Oliver shook his head repeatedly, “I didn’t, I didn’t betray…”

“Speak!” Colin’s tone was terrible.

Oliver was so scared that his body shook, and finally told the truth.

It turned out that when Oliver was attacked at the Mirror Lake camp, he decisively jumped into the Mirror Lake to survive.

He wasn’t a good swimmer.

But he was fat.

Everybody knows that fat is less dense than water.

So, fat people can easily float on the water’s surface.

So, Oliver floated in the lake for three days and three nights, finally reaching the shore just as he was about to starve.

By then, the Troll’s main force had left Mirror Lake.

So, Oliver escaped a calamity.

Then he met a group of fleeing soldiers and they moved south together.

On the way, they ran into Cynthia, who was coming to reinforce from Fallen Eagle City.

Cynthia had just heard of the Dark Cavalry moving north so borrowed several hundred men from her uncle, Count Uman, to provide reinforcements.

Actually, after the death of Viscount Sudor, the first heir, the person Colin had pretended to be, Cain Sudor, should have led an army to take Ice Rock City back.

This way, the Sudor family could restore their nobility and glory.

However, not everyone could recover their morale and step into the brutal battlefield again after a major defeat.

Sir Cain was clearly terrified.

So, his sister, Cynthia Sudor, had to lead the army on a campaign.

But the Sudor family’s army had already been routed.

Count Uman obviously couldn’t lend all his troops to the Sudor family. Giving his niece a few hundred soldiers was quite generous.

So, the extremely short-handed Cynthia could not let go of Oliver and his band of fleeing soldiers.

She drafted them without question, and forced them to continue fighting for the Sudor family.

Strictly speaking, this was illegal.

However, the Sudor family’s territory was gone. Cynthia couldn’t care less about these matters.

Besides, she was crazy at heart anyway.

However, Oliver was the unfortunate one.

He had barely managed to escape from the battlefield of the Mirror Lake, and now he was being forced into danger again.

Having been traumatized, he did not want to be cannon fodder again.

So, Oliver sought out Cynthia, trying to persuade her to spare him.

He was somewhat confident in this.

After all, he felt that he and the first heir of the Sudor Family, “Knight Cain,” were old acquaintances who had shared hardships.

However, when Cynthia saw this merchant who claimed to have traveled with her brother to Fallen Eagle City, she instantly saw through his lies.

The real Cain Sudor had fled to Fallen Eagle City with her, how could he be associated with a caravan?

Naturally, Cynthia thought this was a lie.

Poor Oliver got a heavy beating, then he became honest.

But after Cynthia led the army to join the Dark Cavalry, Oliver saw a glimmer of hope.

Because, he saw an old acquaintance among the logistics soldiers of the Dark Cavalry – the dutiful Sael.

From Sael, Oliver finally understood why he was beaten up by Cynthia.

Because that “Knight Cain” was fake!

Oliver felt wronged inside, but he dared not express his anger.

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

But under the instigation of Sael, who seemed to enjoy stirring the pot, Oliver still went to Cynthia and confessed everything.

Claiming that it was not him who lied, but Colin.

But Cynthia wouldn’t easily believe a commoner.

In her eyes, Colin, who was a noble himself, why would he impersonate her brother?

The Sudor family was on the brink of collapse now, what benefit could they possibly get from impersonating the heir?

Facing Cynthia’s questioning, Oliver panicked.

He also couldn’t figure out why Colin would lie.

In the urgent moment, he suddenly remembered that he had once promised Colin that he would help him connect with the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to raise an army with its financial strength for the Sudor family to retake Ice Rock

City.

Colin did not agree at the time.

Naturally, he did not oppose it either.

If he didn’t object, didn’t that basically mean agreement?

Therefore, following the “better you than me” mindset, Oliver simply told Cynthia that Colin was impersonating the heir of the Sudor family in order to scam funding from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. This seemed to be the only logical explanation.

So, Cynthia was furious.

Someone dared to deceive others using the Sudor family’s name!

Now, the Sudor family was reduced to nothing more than a name, Cynthia naturally wouldn’t allow this name to be tarnished.

After Oliver pointed out Colin from the camp, she took the opportunity when he was alone to cause some trouble.

Hearing the details of the matter from Oliver, Colin was furious.

As expected, he had guessed right.

It was Sael who was meddling again!

Colin glared fiercely at Cynthia: “I can clearly tell you, I had a reason for using your brother’s name, and I have never used the Sudor family’s title for any personal gain.

Now that I’ve taken a hit from your sword, let’s consider the matter settled!”

With that, Colin retracted the long sword at Cynthia’s throat.

Cynthia snorted coldly and turned to leave.

This crazy woman didn’t seem to be convinced at all.

But since Colin was in the wrong in this matter, he couldn’t really do anything to Cynthia.

However, he didn’t plan to let Sael and Oliver off easily.

So, Colin turned to Oliver, ordering him: “You go and find Sael, bring him to see me. Tell him not to think about running away or he’ll have to bear the consequences!”

“Okay, but your injury…” Oliver looked at the long sword in Colin’s chest, inwardly frightened.

“I’m fine…

Just as Colin finished speaking, he heard Vera’s anxious voice. “Colin! Colin, what happened to you!”

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

At this moment, the originally steady Knight Colin suddenly started to wobble.

He pressed his chest hard, his expression exaggerated as he screamed: “I… I can’t go on… Ah!”

Then he fell backwards.

But his timing was quite coincidental, he fell right into the arms of the rushing

Vera.

Feeling the familiar soft touch, Colin forced out a mouthful of blood: “Quick! Go find Archbishop Raven… Holy water…”

Vera looked like she was about to cry: “But, the Archbishop’s holy water was used up last time!”

” …” Colin..
