Chapter 33 033 Reasons 1

“Let go!”

Colin’s mouth dripped with blood, but his tone was calm and unyielding.

The golden color in Cynthia’s eyes gradually faded, and her rationality gradually returned. So, facing this man with blood-red eyes in front of her, she was afraid.

Madmen were always afraid of crazier madmen.

So, Cynthia let go of her hands that were holding the sword.

Colin did not care about the sword that pierced his chest, as if it did not exist at all.

“Who told you that I used your brother’s name?”

“Don’t you need to take care of your wound first?”

“Cut the crap!” Colin exerted a little force, and the sword cut a small wound on Cynthia’s throat, and the red blood started trickling down. “I don’t want to ask you again!”

Lunatic!

Cynthia cursed in her heart.

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

Therefore, she put on a thick layer of armor to give others the impression of madness.

“The lunatic of the Surdo family.”

“The fanatic of the church.”

“The bloodthirsty wild rose.”

Although these titles were not pleasant to hear, it was true that no one dared to provoke Cynthia in Ice Rock City.

However, now, as she stared at the man in front of her with an indifferent expression while having a long sword in his chest, Cynthia could only lower her arrogant head.

“Oliver.”

Hearing this name, Colin was stunned.

It was not the eldest filial son, Sal?

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

That guy did not actually end up dead in the Mirror Lake camp?

He was really lucky. “Where is he?”

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

“Oliver! I see you! If you don’t want to die, then get your ass over here!”

The fat figure seemed to have been struck by lightning and immediately stood rooted to the ground. After struggling for a while, he finally walked over dejectedly.

“Tell me, 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…”

“Tell me!” Colin’s voice was stern.

Oliver was so scared that his fat was trembling. He finally began to tell the story in an honest manner.

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

He was not a good swimmer. However, he had a lot of fat.

As everyone knew, the density of fat was lower than water.

Therefore, fat people could usually easily float on the surface of the water.

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

At this time, the main force of the trolls had already left the mirror lake.

Therefore, Oliver dodged a disaster.

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

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

TO

Cynthia had borrowed hundreds of people from her uncle, Earl Oman, to come and provide support after hearing the news that the Black Knights were heading north.

In fact, after Viscount Surdo’s death, Kahn Surdo, who was supposed to be his first successor—the guy that Colin had once pretended to be—was supposed to lead his army to recapture Ice Rock City.

Only then would the Surdo family be able to regain their title and glory.

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

Knight Kahn was, sadly, one of them men who got scared out of his wits.

Therefore, his sister, Cynthia Surdo, had to lead the army into battle.

However, the army of the Surdo family had long been defeated.

Earl Oman obviously could not lend all his forces to the Surdo family. It was already quite generous of him to give his niece a few hundred soldiers.

Therefore, Cynthia, who was extremely short of soldiers, naturally would not let Oliver’s group of scattered deserters go.

She took them in without explanation and forced them to continue fighting for the Surdo family.

Strictly speaking, her action was illegal.

However, the Surdo family had already lost their territory, so Cynthia could not care about these things.

Moreover, she was a crazy person at heart.

That also meant that Oliver was doomed.

It was not easy for him to get away from the Mirror Lake battlefield, and now he was forced to do it again.

He was already traumatized, and he did not want to be cannon fodder anymore.

So, Oliver went to Cynthia and tried to persuade her to let him go.

He was still somewhat confident about this.

After all, he was convinced that he and the first heir of the Surdo family, “Knight Kahn,” were old acquaintances who went through hardships together.

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

The real Kahn Surdo had fled to Fallen Eagle City with her. How could he be traveling with a caravan?

Cynthia certainly thought this was a lie.

Poor Oliver was beaten up and he stayed down ever since.

However, after Cynthia led the army to meet with the Black Knights, Oliver saw a glimmer of hope again.

He saw an old acquaintance among the Black Knights—the hugely filial son, Sal.

From Sal’s words, Oliver finally understood why he was beaten up by Cynthia.

That “Knight Kahn” was a fake!

Oliver felt aggrieved, but he dared not say anything

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

However, under the instigation of Sal, who wanted nothing but chaos, Oliver still went to Cynthia and confessed everything.

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

Cynthia would not easily believe a commoner.

In her opinion, why would the noble Knight Colin pretend to be her brother?

The Surdo family was on the verge of falling apart. What good would it do to pretend to be their heir?

Faced with Cynthia’s question, Oliver panicked.

He also could not understand why Colin lied.

In his desperation, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Colin that he was willing to help him build a bridge and use the financial resources of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to recruit soldiers for the Surdo family and recapture Ice Rock City.

At that time, Colin did not agree.

Of course, neither had Colin rejected the merchant.

If he did not object to it, then it was basically equivalent to agreeing.

Therefore, Oliver simply told Cynthia that Colin pretended to be the heir of the Surdo family to swindle the financial support of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

Therefore, Cynthia was furious.

There was actually someone who dared to use the name of the Surdo family to swindle others!

Now that the Surdo family had fallen to the point of only having one name left, Cynthia naturally could not allow this name to be tarnished.

After she asked Oliver to identify Colin from the camp, she took advantage of the fact that he was alone and went looking for trouble.

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

Sure enough, his guess was right.

It was still Sal who had interfered!

Colin glared fiercely at Cynthia. “I can tell you clearly that there is a reason for using your brother’s name, and I have never used the name of the Surdo family to plot anything.

“Now that I have taken your sword, this matter ends here!”

With that, Colin withdrew the long sword that was pressed against Cynthia’s throat. Cynthia snorted coldly and turned to leave.

This crazy woman seemed to be very unconvinced, but this matter was Colin’s fault, so there was no reason for him to punish Cynthia.

However, Colin did not intend to let Sal and Oliver off easily.

Thus, Colin turned around and ordered Oliver, “Go find Sal and bring him to me. Tell him not to think about running away, or else he will bear the consequences!”

“Okay, but your injury…” Oliver looked at the longsword in front of Colin’s chest and was shook to his core.

“I’m fine…”

As soon as Colin finished speaking, 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 moment, Knight Colin, who had been as steady as a mountain, startled wobbling.

He pressed hard on his chest, and with a slightly exaggerated expression, he cried out in pain, “I… can’t… ah!”

Then, he threw his head back and fell.

However, the timing of his fall was quite coincidental, and he fell into Vera’s embrace as she ran over.

When he felt the familiar soft-touch, Colin tried hard to spit 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 was speechless.
