Colin was shocked: “You, what did you just call ?”
“The Chosen One, sir!”
Colin blinked as if understanding sothing.
Then, he quickly straightened himself, acting surprised:
“You managed to see through my identity!”
Taking a deep breath, Colin asked again solemnly:
“Knight Shar, how did you recognize that I am the Chosen One?”
Shar lifted his right hand and showed Colin the stump of his thumb:
“Sir, I have already felt the power of God repairing my body. Being able to wield such divine technique and not being in the identity of a priest, it is undeniable that you are the Chosen One!
Moreover, although I was unconscious during the healing ritual just now, I inexplicably felt a trace of a sacred aura, which must be the aura of the Lord of Glory!
Even now, I can feel an irresistible force in you. You must be an apostle of so angel!
You are the Chosen One, sir!”
This world does indeed have the existence of the Chosen Ones.
At least that’s how the Glorious Church propagates it.
The most famous Chosen One is, of course, the founding emperor of the Glorious Empire, Gana St. Lorenzo.
The Glorious Church believes that this legendary Holy Knight is the apostle of the Power Angel, Michael, in the realm of mortals.
And now, Colin suddenly found that this ‘Chosen One’ setting was quite suitable for duping his bloodline.
The bloodline created through a complete First Embrace ritual is apparently self-conscious.
Although they can be forcibly subordinated through suppression of the bloodline, this thod of control is risky.
After all, loyalty forced by coercion is not reliable.
Therefore, Colin must control the other party through a more refined thod.
What could be better for brainwashing soone than religion?
“Knight Shar, you guessed right; I indeed am the Chosen One.”
“May I ask, sir, whose angel’s apostle are you?” Upon receiving Colin’s confirmation, Knight Shar shivered with excitent.
Colin leaned forward slightly and said in all seriousness, “The Blood Angel Dracula.”
“Blood Angel?” Knight Shar was puzzled, “Please forgive my ignorance, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this angel’s na.”
You would indeed be shocked if you had.
“Of course you haven’t.” Colin remained calm and said mysteriously, “This Blood Angel is a secret servant of the Lord of Glory, hidden in the dark, specifically assigned to execute covert missions, so it’s obvious that His na cannot be known to the world.”
“I understand!”
“Now you know my identity, but to ensure the successful completion of this secret mission, you must swear never to reveal my real identity or today’s affairs to anyone!
Not even to the Pope himself!”
“Yes, sir! I will not reveal any information about you!”
Colin looked at Knight Shar, who was filled with fanaticism, and nodded in satisfaction.
Deception successful!
“To heal your severed finger, I instilled the divine power of the Blood Angel into your body, so, in the following ti, so changes may happen to your body.
Do not panic or cause a commotion. Just record these changes and report them to . Understand?”
“Yes, sir, I understand!” Knight Shar agreed without any doubt.
Then, Colin picked up a water cup and handed it to Knight Shar: “You’ve heard of the saying ‘God’s grace demands a price,’ haven’t you?”
“Of course.
“Well, the price required for the grace of the Blood Angel this ti is your loyalty and a cup of fresh blood.”
“Alright!” Knight Shar didn’t hesitate to slice open his own wrist, allowing the blood to flow into the cup.
“You’re at the third level now, aren’t you?” Colin asked again.
“Yes, sir.”
There was no level reduction at all.
Colin was a bit frustrated, as he was still stuck at the first level.
It seed that the cost of the First Embrace was not temporary.
However, he was not too worried.
Now with the fresh blood from Knight Shar, he was sure he could recover quickly, perhaps even advance to the third level.
For Colin at his age to beco a third-level knight was definitely seen as amazing talent.
What?
Are you saying he cheated using the special traits of the bloodline?
But isn’t the bloodline traits part of Colin’s talent…
After Knight Shar filled the cup, Colin instructed him to stop.
“Sir, I feel like… I can control the flow of my blood!” Knight Shar looked at Colin with an excited face.
Colin waved his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, “I told you, so changes will happen to your body. All these are the grace of the Blood Angel!” “Praise the Blood Angel!” Knight Shar prayed devoutly without any doubt.
“Alright, let’s get back to business.” Colin put aside the cup filled with blood, “I need you to help train a cavalry. Of course, you have to control your drinking first! Occasional, moderate drinking is fine, but I don’t want to see you drunk again!”
“Yes, sir! I will quit drinking imdiately!” Knight Shar agreed without hesitation.
At this mont, he seed to do away with his previous decadence and was full of enthusiasm.
Though he did not know what Colin’s mysterious mission was, that did not detract Knight Shar from his determination to fully assist this apostle of the Blood Angel.
Even if it ant risking his life!
“How many people are you planning to recruit for the first batch of cavalry, my lord?”
“How many do you think would be appropriate?” Colin was also unsure.
“I think the first batch should not be too many, about a hundred would be most suitable.”
“Okay, let it be a hundred. As for the soldiers, I allow you to recruit them first. Even if you set your sights on the active soldiers of the family army, you can apply for a transfer.”
“Yes!”
“What else do you need?” Colin’s support for the cavalry was absolutely unreserved.
Shar thought for a mont and spoke solemnly, “My lord, the establishnt of a cavalry essentially requires three conditions: soldiers, war horses, and armor!
The first, soldiers, should not be a problem with your strong support.
But for the last two, if you want a truly powerful cavalry, you cannot be careless.”
Colin stroked his chin, largely agreeing with Shar’s words.
If he just wanted a regular cavalry, then ordinary horses would suffice, and for armor, giving them bows and sabers would be enough. They wouldn’t need any full-body armor.
However, that’s not what he wanted.
What he wanted was a powerful cavalry that could be compared to the Dark Cavalry.
Each war horse in the Dark Cavalry was superior and was from the North Territory, and when it cos to armor, the heavy cavalry wore full-body armor, while the light cavalry had chainmail, half-body armor, and leather armor according to their ranks.
This was what ensured the Dark Cavalry’s combat capability.
“If I go to Marquis Garcia, do you think he will help ?”
If it was before the last ceremony when he was conferred the title, Colin was sure that Marquis Garcia would certainly help him.
But now…
However, Knight Shar shook his head, “My lord, I suggest you find soone else.”
Who?”
“Marquis Dawson..”
