While the fight was heated outside the city, Colin was in the gloomy basement of the Red Castle.

Of course, he was not hiding here; those rebel slaves outside weren’t frightening enough for him.

Not to mention frightening, they hardly even managed to catch Colin’s attention at all anymore.

At first, Colin personally went to command the battle from the city wall, but after witnessing the slave rebels’ “splendid and unparalleled” siege tactics, Colin lost interest in watching the battle.

At this time, Colin was not alone in the basement; there were nearly a hundred figures standing in front of him.

These figures all uniformly wore steel masks which covered their faces, revealing only their eyes which held not even a trace of human emotion.

These were, of course, blood slaves that Colin converted.

Apart from the fox knight and monkey ranger, the newly added eighty-five blood slaves wearing horse face masks were professionals chosen from the prisoners of the Pegasus Army.

Two fourth-rank knights, eight third-rank knights, five fourth-rank warriors, seventeen third-rank warriors, and fifty-three first and second-rank professionals.

To convert so many blood slaves, Colin bit until his canines ached, almost developing a psychological trauma towards his own neck.

But fortunately, the achievements were tremendous.

As it seemed, Colin’s Blood Shadow Guard was starting to take shape.

For this Blood Shadow Guard, made up of the blood slaves, Colin had high hopes; it was to be comparable to the Glorious Church’s Temple Knight Regiment.

It was said that the Temple Knight Regiment was a terrifying army truly made up entirely of knights. Although it only had three thousand members, its fearsome combat power made all the legions of the Glorious Empire pale in comparison.

This was the most powerful military strength controlled by the Glorious Church.

Of course, whether in terms of quantity or quality, Colin’s Blood Shadow Guards couldn’t compete with the Temple Knight Regiment yet, but Colin believed that one day his Blood Shadow Guard would become a formidable army capable of rivaling the Temple Knight Regiment.

Colin’s gaze swept over the eighty-seven blood slaves one by one, and finally landed on the monkey ranger. He ordered, “Monkey, you go to the Troll Empire.”

The monkey ranger nodded without uttering a word, then headed out.

Colin rubbed his chin, then summoned a horse-faced mask knight who he instructed with some unease, “You go along with him.”

The news Charles brought made Colin concerned about the incoming troll army from the south. But still, he had to see with his own eyes what the current state of the Troll Empire was.

Of course, he definitely wouldn’t personally go to the Troll Empire at this moment, so he had to let the blood slaves do the job.

After entering the fourth level, Colin found that his control over the blood slave had gone up a notch.

Whatever the blood slaves saw, whatever they heard, as long as he wished, he could synchronously see and hear it too. It was as if they were extensions of his own body.

Moreover, the distance limitation to control the blood slaves seemed to have disappeared.

Before reaching the fourth level, Colin could only command blood slaves within a radius of three to four kilometers, but after the fourth level, there seemed to be no distance limitation.

He intentionally left a blood slave in Silver Moon City and then returned all the way back to Ice Rock City. Upon his arrival, he found that he could still control the blood slave thousands of miles away.

Then, Colin arranged for three blood slaves to each monitor the movements of the St. Hilde family, Uman clan, and Dawson family in Winterfell City, Fallen Eagle City, and Ironforge City respectively.

These were all leading characters on the stage of the upcoming North Territory drama, and so, naturally, Colin would have to pay close attention to them.

After arranging all this, Colin left the basement.

Just as he was walking a few steps, he met Knight Logh in the corridor.

“Viscount, the rebellion outside the city has been suppressed. Preliminary statistics show that we have captured over twelve thousand slaves. In this battle, thirty-eight members of the Dark Cavalry were seriously injured and unfortunately, three others died in battle.”

Colin frowned, asking, “These casualties must have been new recruits, right?”

“Yes.”

Colin finally eased up.

Recently, he had commanded Knight Shar to include the 1,000 newly trained cavalry recruits into the Dark Cavalry. The slave-led rebellion provided a perfect opportunity for them to draw blood.

However, judging by the casualties this time, the combat power of these recruits still needs to improve.

But elite cavalry couldn’t be trained overnight, it was a situation that couldn’t be rushed.

He could only hope that these recruits could quickly grow under the guidance of the veteran soldiers of the Dark Cavalry.

“Well, proceed with the treatment and relief efforts as usual, I don’t need to go into detail.”

“Yes, my Lord.” Knight Logh nodded, then continued. “My Lord, we encountered a guard team from the Uman Clan outside the city, the leader claims to be your brother-in-law? Knight Walra.”

“Did they arrive so soon?” Colin was slightly surprised.

Calculating the journey, Colin estimated that Walra and his team must have set off for Ice Rock City right after the Winter Festival.

He didn’t know whether his sister Kaitlin genuinely missed him, or if Knight Walra was under the command of Count Uman, anxious to come and build up relations with the Angler family.

“Welcome them into the city, I’ll wait for them in the reception hall.”

“Yes.”

While Colin was playing with Little White, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Soon, Kaitlin’s figure appeared in Colin’s sight. Upon seeing Colin, her face instantly lit up with joy that couldn’t be hidden, she picked up her skirt and walked quickly, embracing her brother tightly.

“Colin, I heard that you fought a battle with the Eastern Army in Silver Moon City, I was so scared! Are you hurt at all?”

“I’m fine, sister.” Colin patted Kaitlin’s back with some helplessness.

But, it felt good to be cared for by a family member, even though Colin had always felt somewhat alienated from Kaitlin.

Breaking free from his sister’s embrace, Colin looked at Knight Walra who was walking towards him.

From the memories of his past life, he knew that the previous Colin had an excellent relationship with Walra.

As the man his beloved sister loved, the past Colin was fond of Walra due to his sister’s affection towards him.

Walra, because of his illegitimate birth, was often ignored in the Uman Clan, but he found much-needed warmth from the siblings from Grey Castle. Therefore, after marrying Kaitlin, Walra actually spent more time in Grey Castle Town rather than Fallen Eagle City.

One could say that the former Knight Walra, besides not having officially sworn his loyalty to Baron Angler, could practically be considered a knight of the Angler family.

It was precisely because of this that when Baron Angler led the army to war, Knight Walra volunteered to follow him to the frontline.

However, after all the events they’ve been through, when Walra saw Colin again, his eyes showed joy but also lingering worry and guilt.

He opened his mouth, not knowing how to greet the viscount, who seemed to have a completely different demeanor than before.

Colin, however, kept smiling as if he had left everything that happened in the past year behind. He gave Walra a warm hug and said:

“Walra, I heard from Knight Logh that you gave me a big gift as soon as you arrived in the Ice Rock City!”

“My Lord, if you are referring to the battle outside the city, I cannot really claim any credit for that. The guard team I brought here only helped intercept some rebels. It’s far from being a major gift.”

“Haha, you’re too modest, also, don’t be so formal, just call me Colin.”

Seeing Colin’s sincere smile, Walra seemed to relax. He also smiled and said:

“Alright then, Colin.”
