Blood Dragon

Mimilu finally achieved her goal and moved all the dim sum away.Then, in a place far away from the mysterious man's camp, she happily ate.Just as Ashuruffat discovered, even though half-beasts are only about the size of human teenage children, their food intake is much larger than that of adults.Soon, Mimilu packed all the snacks into her stomach, and then happily hiccupped while stroking her swollen belly.

What a delicious snack.Mimilu lay down in a comfortable place, planning to have a good sleep.

"Oops! Mimilu has been following the mysterious man for two days... What if the enemy the master mentioned passes by at this time?" Mimilu suddenly thought of something, she raised her head, and said to herself in fear.

No, it's not that coincidental... She comforted herself in her heart.Immediately return to the observation post tomorrow at dawn!Oh, and expand the scope of observation!Lest those enemies pass quietly.At that time, the master will definitely praise Mimilu...

However, at this moment, in the south of Mimilu's "post", that is, in this mountainous area, thousands of tents are scattered around a rare small flat land.Because the surrounding environment is really bad, with ups and downs, overgrown bushes, and too many obstacles that cannot be cleared, even Belleur can't let the soldiers set up a camp.So now the entire camp is in a state of disarray as a whole.Because the marching time was so long today, it was nearly midnight, but the soldiers were still preparing dinner.

A man in a cloak is walking across the cluttered encampment toward the center flag.When he passed by, the soldiers all stepped aside one after another, not daring to stand in the way.The cloak on his body has obvious magic marks, but it doesn't have any marks of the star field gods.This shows that he is not a priest of the church, but a "wild mage".He is the kind of person who does not belong to the church, but learns the mysteries of magic through various opportunities.In other words, it is the kind of unscrupulous magician who can turn the other party into a mess at any time with a disagreement.For this kind of guy, everyone backs away three feet.According to folk rumors, these wild mages are followers of evil gods.

The number of wild mages is very small, and most of them serve countries as mercenaries.Compared with the official priests of the church, they are lacking in knowledge, but in terms of judgment and combat magic, they have been perfected due to countless actual battles.It is precisely because of this that the wild mage's commission is not cheap.This time the Ryan people dispatched a large army. In order to strengthen their magical combat power, in addition to the priests sent by the church, they also naturally found a group of wild mages to serve them.

Bellel was sitting on the ground, eating beans and corned beef with the other soldiers.Apart from his helmet and cloak, he is almost like any other soldier.He was grinning, looking carefree, and was chatting with some officers about some man-to-man topics.However, in the depths of his eyes, a trace of worry and uneasiness flashed from time to time.

"My lord general." The wild mage came to Belleer's side.

"Oh, our magician is here. Come, let's eat something..." Belle immediately put away his laughing expression, because he saw that the magician didn't just come here, but to report something. "Is there a problem?"

"My lord general, our No. [-] spy has brought the latest news with the message scroll." The magician replied. "The situation has been confirmed. It is indeed a half-beast who followed him. That half-beast followed him for two full days. Not long ago, he confirmed the existence of the half-beast with his own eyes."

"Spy No. [-]..." Belle quickly called out towards the tent. "Robin, bring me the map!"

The order was quickly carried out.Baylor quickly found his target on the map a few minutes later.

"Spy No. [-]...should be here now...the half-beast has been following her for two days...that is to say, it is impossible for her to carry out the reconnaissance mission within these two days..." Beler estimated the distance and time on the map. "Assuming that the half-beast turns back immediately, assuming she can keep going at a running speed, then...she comes back..."

The next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.No problem, he had passed through the danger zone, and if he was not mistaken, he had already sneaked under the eyes of the vampire.

"Robin, your dim sum has done a great job!" Belleel happily patted Robin on the back.The half-beast was indeed a gluttonous creature as recorded in the book, and was easily attracted by the snacks, giving up her responsibility for monitoring.

Of course, at this moment, Robin has fully understood Bellel's unconstrained imagination and ideas. "Master General, you are really amazing!"

"Hehe, it's actually not a big deal." Of course, these words are modest, and Belle's face is full of the joy of victory. "Robin, have you seen those people in the Chamber of Commerce? Those are the executives?"

"Chamber of Commerce?" Robin was born to dislike those guys who deal with money all day long.This is also a deep-rooted prejudice of the general aristocracy.Few aristocrats engage in business (buying shares is different from doing business as a career), and the aristocrats think that those businessmen are greedy, greedy and shameless.As for those executives and the like, he also had contact.In Robin's mind, they're all burrowing their noses into data and reports, old, lifeless "what's wrong with those guys?"

"In a sense, I'm like those guys," Baylor replied. "Actually, it's not how good I am, it's just that I know more than others. Relying on the abundant information at hand, I can deduce the possible development of the matter, and then design a corresponding solution. It's just that... In fact, I am very envious of another people……"

"Another kind of person?" Robin asked curiously.

"Well. Some people don't need to arrange reliable sources of information, don't need to 'plan before they act', don't need to read books all day to broaden their knowledge, and don't need to practice spiritual self-cultivation...they can do my best by relying on instinct alone. It is a conclusion that can only be reached after suffering, and only by relying on intuition or even 'luck', one can find the truth from countless fogs, and find the only road to victory from thousands of different roads."

"How is that possible!" Robin asked in surprise.

"That's right," Belle replied. "There are such people. This world is really unfair. Others spend days of hard work to come to the conclusion, and some people 'take it for granted' and guess right... Hehe, of course, luck will not last forever , There will always be mistakes in judgment..." Baylor laughed twice, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.

"My lord, what do you think the vampires are doing now?" An officer next to him - it was a knight captain - added a sentence. "Will he..."

"I'm sure he has other things on his mind," Baylor replied. "If you count the time, our Prince Leto's move should start to play a role. Either the emissary convinced Damon, or the rumors about Damon secretly collaborating with the enemy are flying around..."

The Ryans had sent a lot of spies into Sylvania before, and it wasn't a problem to spread rumors of this magnitude.According to the intelligence sent back by the spies, the vampire's control over Sylvania is not very strong (of course, this is expected, most of the vampire's energy must be devoted to organizing the undead army to prepare for the war), making it easy for the spies to lurk Inquire about intelligence.The trouble is with the undead army, because the undead cannot be bought or bribed at all.So the current situation is that the Ryan people know the specific situation of Sylvania well, but they don't know much about the internal situation of the Undead Legion.

Perhaps this is why vampires tolerate these espionage activities and do nothing.

Belle was lost in thought again.However, everyone else, including Robin, was very knowledgeable and did not disturb his train of thought.The ranger team in front of them is going deep into the enemy's territory, and the life and death of the whole army depends on Belle.

"My lord, it's time for you to rest." Robin reminded.It was already midnight, and they still had ten days to go.

"Oh, Robin, help me get the information about Menor City." Baylor said.A few minutes later, in the afterglow of the bonfire, Belleur began to read the document that had been read many times.Not to mention Bellel, even Robin has read this information many times.

The noisy camp has become silent, and the other officers have quietly disappeared without knowing when.In the end, only Belle and Robin were left by the campfire.Belleel was still flipping the pages silently under the light of the fire, while Robin stood by, waiting for his order.

……

At the moment, the army camp, which is about ten days away from Belleur, is brightly lit.A long banquet has just ended, and the guests and hosts parted happily.Leto went to the field with the help of a servant, trying to blow away the alcohol on his body with the cold wind.Although he felt that his feet were floating and he had to lean on the servant to maintain his balance, he knew that his calm mind had not been completely overwhelmed by alcohol.

The reason why the banquet is held today is because the official march to Sylvania will begin tomorrow.This is a banquet to wish victory.Those who came here to celebrate were not only senior officers of the army, but also a group of nobles, bureaucrats and the like from the royal capital.This is because as soon as Leto arrived here, he used the method of "successfully recapturing Mill City from the vampires after a fierce battle" to report victory to the king.

Wangcheng's response was also very quick, and a group of newly appointed relevant officials (because of his military position, Baylor can no longer continue to serve as the "interim governor") arrived with the king's reward documents.Under such circumstances, a banquet is imperative.

There may have been pedants who condemned the feast as untimely, but Leto knew that this war was no more than a game.He has absolutely no chance of defeat.If ordinary people start from the entrance, it will take four or five days to reach Sylvania along the main road through the mountains.Considering the sporadic blocking battles that will inevitably occur on the road, the time will not exceed ten days...Even if the vampire's dying counterattack is added, and a large-scale tug-of-war in the valley...the time will not exceed a month...

In other words, the war will be over within a month.In fact, according to estimates, after half a month, eliminating the undead army will no longer be the main task.At that time, the main task will become hunting vampires...

Leto let out a smug laugh into the distance, but he immediately saw a clerk walking towards him quickly.

"Your Highness." The guard held a letter in his hand. "Sylvania sent relevant news."

"Oh... hiccup..." Leto couldn't help but hiccupped, spewing out a very strong smell of alcohol.The servants around him rushed to support him so that he would not lose his balance and fall.

"What kind of news?" Leto didn't read the letter, but asked the clerk directly. "The bastards of the Chenggongbin clan reached an agreement?"
