Blood Dragon

"I don't know if General Beryl has any good ideas." Leto actually had a considerable degree of dissatisfaction in his stomach.This was the first time he held a military meeting in front of the enemy, but Baylor completely stole the limelight.The problem is that under such circumstances, he still can't express his dissatisfaction. After all, he invited Baylor, and the things that Baylor said just now are indeed very important.

"Give me three thousand soldiers, and I can guarantee that vampires will not be able to use this path."

Leto froze for a moment, and there were more than a few whispers among the other officers.

"I don't know what General Beryl is going to do?" Leto asked after pondering for a moment.

"Things have to be looked at from multiple angles. For us, this small path originally occupied by dragons is a trouble, but for vampires, isn't it the same?"

"Oh?"

"What the lord just said is right. If the situation is unfavorable, the vampire is likely to come to the rescue, and in turn lead the undead army into Ryan's land to burn and kill. But we must understand that the vampire is not happy to do this. Because This is not the best strategy for him - it means that his risk is greatly increased. A small army naturally moves quickly, but after all, the number is limited and the combat power is insufficient, which poses a great threat. And when he summons a large group of zombies... Then he The speed of his march is greatly reduced, and our army has a chance to catch up with him. This will cause great damage to Ryan, but it is also very risky for vampires. So I believe he will not immediately adopt this tactic—at least Not until the situation gets worse."

"So, before the war officially started, that is, this path is as valuable to our army as it is to the vampires—both are a threat. We and the vampires are facing exactly the same situation. If we want to deal with It is necessary to garrison a force to prevent the opponent from detouring from this road."

Baylor scanned the audience, his words made sense, so everyone agreed at this time.

"If you want to use an analogy, we and the vampire are like two fighters standing in the boxing ring. We are observing each other, carefully judging whether the first attack should be offensive or defensive." Baylor said. "It's a psychological warfare right now, let's see who can catch him by surprise!"

"It seems that General Beryl hasn't answered my question yet," Leto said. "What are you going to do? Three thousand soldiers are not enough to defend this small road. If you set up defenses at a specific position in the middle of the small road instead of at the exit of the road... the vampire's undead army is powerful on this terrain Advantage. Three thousand troops can easily be completely surrounded..."

"No, no, Your Royal Highness, you misunderstood." Belleer replied. "I didn't intend to defend, but to attack!"

"attack?"

"It's like the vampires raiding the back of the Bin tribe along this road. I also plan to lead a ranger of [-] soldiers to raid the rear of the vampires." Belleil said with a slight smile.

Robin was completely taken aback by Belleel's proposal. He stared at Belleel, not knowing why his lord general would make such a suicidal suggestion, and he didn't even notice that the audience fell silent, everyone watching Looking at Belair, only a few people whispered to each other.

"But...but..." An older senior officer finally broke the strange calm. "If the vampire..."

"If the vampires set up an ambush on the path, then the Rangers will definitely be wiped out." Beler admitted this fact frankly. "But even so, this risk is worth taking. Think about it," he looked around at everyone, "if our army and the vampires are in a confrontation, what will happen if a surprise soldier goes around behind the vampires? ? Needless to say, the vampires will be in chaos immediately."

Few realized that Baelor had once again become the center of this military council, and even Leto missed it.His mind was spinning rapidly, calculating the pros and cons.Three thousand soldiers, even if they fail, it is an acceptable loss, and it does not hurt the overall situation... But if it succeeds, it will be tantamount to dredging the bottom line, destroying the vampire's war potential from behind, and completely disrupting his combat deployment—regardless of the vampire's combat strategy What exactly is deployment.

In the most ideal situation, the undead army of vampires can even be locked in the valley like mice, blocking the front and back.In this situation……

"General Beryl is willing to take on this dangerous mission?" To be honest, Leto didn't quite trust the other party.In his conception, although Beller is a lieutenant general, he will not take on those dangerous missions, but as a staff officer, he will be responsible for logistics and combat planning.This is because Baylor is a foreigner no matter what, and he has no obligation to risk his life to Ryan-after all, even if he is rewarded for his merits after the war, Baylor will not get too many benefits.

"If His Royal Highness allows it, I will be very honored." Belle's attitude is surprising, and people can't help but ask "is there a fraud?"Or what classified information did he know?Leto thought with some doubts.He already knew that Belle had his own intelligence source in Sylvania.

But in any case, in the current situation, he seems to have no need to refuse.Of course, in this regard, some polite refusals and thanks need to be made.

The meeting developed along the direction guided by Baylor.For a long time to come, everyone is perfecting this two-pronged attack plan.

When the meeting ended and Belle left the big tent, Robin found a chance to hold Belle back.

"My lord general, why did you ask for such a dangerous mission?!" There was no one else around, so Robin couldn't care less about hiding things.

"Dangerous? Robin, on the battlefield, no matter what you do, you will be in danger." Baylor still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't realize what kind of crisis his suggestion would bring. "And you see, everyone agreed to let me choose troops and equipment. I can choose a policeman."

"But my lord, you said it yourself just now, if the vampire intercepts us in the middle of the path..."

"I was the first to turn around and run away, and then prayed that I would not be caught up." The expression on Belle's face made Robin wonder for a moment whether he was serious or joking.

"Then why..." Robin continued to ask

But this time his words were interrupted by Baylor. "Has the book I asked for been delivered?" he asked in an indisputable tone.

"It has been delivered to your tent." Robin replied, "I haven't had time to inform you just before the meeting. Your Excellency..." He wanted to return to the topic just now, but Belle didn't give him a chance , walked straight to the other side with big strides, Robin had no choice but to follow behind.

This time Bellel was not out to make a fool of himself, but came to a team of soldiers who were in charge of logistics—that is, setting up camp—and a junior officer hurried over to greet him.

"How is my order going?"

"According to your request, corresponding traps have been set up around the camp." The officer pointed at several soldiers who were busy, "Look, the boys are busy."

Those soldiers were installing a simple trap—this is the kind of trap commonly used by mountain hunters to catch small animals. As long as those small animals stepped on it, they would be immediately strangled by the trap and pulled into the air.However, unlike ordinary lasso traps, the lasso is equipped with some metal pieces and the like, and once the trap is triggered, it will make a fairly loud noise.

Robin knew that these things were specially prepared by Baylor, but he didn't know why Baylor needed them.Although this lasso is stealthy, it does not pose a threat to ordinary people.If someone accidentally lets himself be hung, he only needs to spend a minute or two to untie it.Because the rope is too short to hang a human upside down.

"Assemble all these three hundred sets, and it's almost done." Belleel inspected the newly installed trap a little bit, and said with satisfaction.

"My lord..." Robin tried to ask.Ever since Baylor had agreed to the post of lieutenant-general, his methods had become increasingly elusive.For example, in this trap, Robin didn't understand the point of installing three hundred of these things around the general's tent, to prevent thieves?And to guard against that kind of underage thieves?

But Baylor didn't give him a chance to speak, but turned around and walked quickly towards his private living tent.Robin had to half-run to keep up, leaving no room for questions.

"Do you have many questions, Robin?" Belleel stopped after entering the tent, and turned to look at Robin.The relaxed smile on his face just now has disappeared, replaced by a very serious expression.

"Yes. General, I want to know..."

"I know what you want to ask...Robin, you have to learn to use your own brain instead of always asking me."

"But……"

"Do you know why I'm looking for those books on adventure and biology?" Belleel picked up a book from the table with his hand, flipping through a few pages casually.He was looking for something in the book, and he found it quickly.

"Look at this, Robin. You'll probably understand after reading this." Bellel shook the book in front of Robin.On this page, there are some text and a few illustrations. Because Belle moved so fast, Robin couldn't read the text clearly, but the illustration he recognized was an illustration of an animal.

He knew the animal in the picture and had seen it once.That was exactly the creature that accompanied the vampire when he met the vampire.The animal was called a "Sam," or, in more colloquial terms, a "half-beast."

"The Sam people are born with extremely dexterous and agile skills, keen five senses, and the wonderful ability to change the color of their bodies." Beler said while reading the book. "And they have a considerable degree of intelligence, and it is even said that they are not inferior to humans. If this kind of creature is used as a spy or scout... it is simply invisible and hard to guard against."

He seemed to answer casually, but Robin had suddenly realized.
