Blood Dragon

"My lord, this is a letter from His Majesty the King." Robin said some unnecessary nonsense on the side.

"I don't know what trick our poor Majesty has come up with again." Belle's attitude was very calm.He carefully opened the letter paper, and slowly touched it with his hands to determine if there were any other mysteries on the letter paper.After doing this preparatory action, Belleur opened the letter paper to read the letter, but as he read, his brows frowned.

"Our Majesty the King, it's really a willful request." Baylor said.

Robin really wanted to ask what was written in the letter, but this time Baylor didn't let Robin read the content after reading the letter as usual.He folded the letter paper, then carefully threw the envelope and the letter paper into the fireplace, watching as the paper turned into ashes under the lick of the fire.

"What's the matter, General?" Robin asked.He had never seen Baelor treat a letter so seriously.

"Our Majesty the King... betrayed me." Belleer shrugged. "He took an interest-free loan from the Ryan people. As a price, he asked me to serve in the Ryan people's army for a period of time. I may be a lieutenant general."

"Lieutenant General?" Robin was a little puzzled.For a person like Belleur, it would be too inferior to be a lieutenant general.Not to mention that this kind of "borrowing" job is generally not rewarded.Probably because of this reason, the king specially wrote a letter to comfort Belle.

Of course, from another perspective, even if the battle is defeated, the "borrowed" generals are not responsible.But Robin doesn't think Baylor is likely to be defeated.So far, everything has been predictable for Baylor, without exception.

The letter had just turned into fly ash when there was a knock on the door.Belle and Robin are living in Leto's castle as guests at the moment, so there is no need to worry about anything else.

Robin opened the door, and there was one of Leto's personal attendants outside.The entourage nodded and bowed with a smile on his face, bringing the news that Leto wanted to see Belle, and clearly stated that "there is something important to discuss".

"Go and report to the Duke, I'll be there right away." Belleer replied, and the entourage ran away in a flash.

"My lord, what will happen to him looking for you?"

"Robin, I'm sure Leto has earned himself the status of the chief vampire crusade, and now he's looking for me to be the deputy general." Bellel replied while tidying up his clothes.

Facts have proved that Baylor's inference is completely correct.Leto and a group of his men were waiting in the living room for Baelor's arrival.After a brief conversation, Robin knew that Leto had been appointed as the commander of the crusade against vampires, and Belleel had been appointed as the deputy general at the same time.Because he had already received the king's letter and understood the ins and outs of the matter, Belleur just agreed to accept the position after being courteous.

Leto was naturally very happy to see Baylor agreeing so easily.He was a bit unwilling to accept this position as Beler, because as the former commander of the army and sitting on one side, Beler was not very suitable as a lieutenant.Leto immediately ordered a banquet to wish him and Belleer a victory for their expedition.

Baylor looked as usual at the banquet, and was even more enthusiastic than usual, toasting frequently.But Robin has been with him for a long time and knows all the details of Bellel, so he can see that there is a certain worry hidden in Bellel's eyes.Of course, in this case, he has no way to ask.

"I don't know what General Beler thinks about this war?" After drinking for three rounds, the slightly drunk Leto really brought up this topic.

"If you want to talk about tactics, it's actually nothing. According to my opinion, there is only one word: fast." Baylor replied, "All relevant preparations must be completed within a month and the main force must arrive in Mill City, and then we can Take a month to defeat the vampires. If possible, fifteen days... to twenty days to attack is the best."

"It's just like that?" Leto's expression clearly showed that he was a bit disappointed.Probably he originally thought that Baylor would publish a lengthy speech, proposing several ingenious and excellent tactics that jumped out of the thinking mode of ordinary people, but made people admire after recovering, just like the previous time. Same plan.

Robin noticed that the corner of Belle's mouth hooked up. It was a mocking expression, but if it was someone who was not familiar with Belle, it would be difficult to see it.

"However, in terms of specific details, I have a few suggestions that can effectively reduce the combat power of vampires."

"Oh?" The topic immediately aroused Leto's interest. "Your Excellency should have heard that the vampires did not kill all the civilians of the Bin tribe to supplement the undead army as we expected, but took them away as slaves. And on the other hand, they also fully honored the fact that the couple with Damon What do you think is the reason for this obviously inappropriate approach?"

"This one……"

"From the standpoint of a vampire, he must know that Ryan's army may launch an attack at any time after the Bin tribe. At this time, he should urgently need to replenish the troops lost in the war?" Belleur continued. "As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon. For an evil vampire, this kind of action cannot be explained by 'discovery of conscience'. It can only be understood as that he hopes to bring the remaining force of the Bin Clan under his control If you understand it in this way, then it is normal for him to take gentle measures against the Bin tribe. After all, the rebellious Damon gang should still have about 1 troops, and there are enough artillery and musketeers."

Leto nodded thoughtfully.Almost none of the Undead Legion has the ability to attack from a long range, but with the cooperation of the Bin Clan, it is equivalent to making up for this shortcoming. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is several times stronger.To make matters worse, the Ryans backed up the Bin tribe with too many cannons and muskets, which meant that the vampires' long-range troops could be extremely powerful.

"So I would like to make a suggestion. Send a reliable emissary immediately to persuade Damon not to participate in this war anyway. You can copy all the promises the vampire made to him, and add some personal promises along the way, such as Titles, wealth, stuff like that."

"But titles can only be conferred by the king..." A person next to him immediately interjected.

"The envoy only needs to carry Lord Leto's personal token to prove his identity... As for the promise... After all, it's just a promise, isn't it? When the vampire is defeated, just find an excuse--in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't make excuses. The Church Bian has been waiting to send him to the stake for a long time!" Belleer hinted bluntly.Leto immediately burst out laughing at his words.

"As expected of Lord Belleil, but you should consider...what if you are not persuaded?" Someone added a sentence.

Baylor didn't even look at the speaker. "People like Damon who can betray the nation and go to vampires can definitely be bought. The only question is whether the price offered is appropriate. But it doesn't matter even if there is an unconvincing situation. If it does happen that In this case, we will secretly disclose our envoy and his secret contact to the vampire. People like Damon who have betrayed once, the vampire must be on guard. At that time, even in the best case, the vampire I no longer trust him, and I dare not let him go to the battlefield to cooperate with the undead army. After all, it is easy to lower the muzzle of the cannon, isn't it?"

"Good idea!" Leto couldn't help applauding.He didn't need to spend a single soldier to make it impossible for the undead army and the Bin tribe to be combined.

"Does Lord Belleil have any other good ideas?"

"Others... um... I haven't thought about it in a hurry now, I need to wait for me to think about it carefully." Baylor ended the topic in a low-key manner.

"Master Beler's solution is really great, I will start to arrange it immediately!" Leto was even more delighted. "With the help of Lord Belair, I believe that we will be able to achieve immediate success this time and eliminate the vampires smoothly."

Baylor turned his eyes away, and happened to be right next to Robin.Seeing the confusion and incomprehension in Robin's eyes, Belle just smiled slightly.

……

"My lord, what you said just now...why is it completely different from what you said to me a few days ago?" Robin asked puzzled.

The two of them were leaning against colorful pillows in Belle's gorgeous room at the moment.Leto has rearranged the room these days.Make Belle, Robin, and several other personal guards adjacent to each other, so Robin can stay in Belleel's room without worrying about the walls having ears.

In fact, Baylor's capacity for drinking is not outstanding, so this time he was helped back to the room by Robin.

"I'm just saying something they like to hear." Belleer replied drunkenly. "That's all!"

"Is this not in line with the duties of a lieutenant general?" Robin asked.Since he agreed to take the position of lieutenant general, how could he do such a thing.

"Robin, this is not our war." Belleer replied, although he smelled heavily of alcohol, but the trace of clarity in the depths of his eyes showed that his sanity had not been completely swallowed by alcohol. "Tiberius and Ryan are allies... and only allies."

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, in the next second, Belle's thinking immediately jumped to a new thing.

"Robin, tell me, what is our Great Elder Damon doing now?"

This question is too difficult to answer.After hesitating for a while, Robin replied, "Should be sleeping? It's already dark."

"I guess...he's having a nightmare!" Belleer said with a half-smile with the corners of his eyes open.

……

Damon's body bounced off the bed violently. He reached out to grab the sword, but it was empty.Then he came back to his senses and remembered that what happened just now was just a nightmare.

Huh... Huh... Huh... Damon gasped heavily.This is a strange room and a strange bed.where am I?By the way, this is Via, a city in Sylvania.And the vampire has promised to entrust him with the city and the nearby land, making him the hereditary lord here.Of course, his tribe, his people, can also settle here safely.
