Blood Dragon

Although Leto is a novice in military command, he has been in charge for many years and is very experienced in dealing with the world.After listening to the staff's words, his brows frowned even tighter.

"Perhaps... General Beryl had this kind of intention from the beginning." Seeing that Leto didn't answer, the aide boldly continued. "That's why he took on this dangerous mission..."

If the lieutenant general and the chief general command the battle together, then the contribution made by the lieutenant general is equal to that of the chief general.Although this is a bit unfair objectively, in the average person's concept, things are like this.But if the two parties are separated, the situation is completely different.Everyone can see the current situation. If Beler's suggestion is followed, the final result may be that Leto stays put and restrains the main force of the vampires, while Beler "recovers" the entire Sylvania region.

It's not Leto's turn to share this credit.Even if the vampire is defeated in the end, everyone will think that Leto is just a supporting role in this war-even though he is the main player.If there is a triumphal ceremony for Belial (which is very likely), Leto will not only be a supporting character, but even turned into a clown.

But on the other hand, Belleer did everything perfectly, and Leto couldn't blame Belleel afterwards, whether in public or private, and he couldn't get sympathy for himself.Even if he knew that Belleel had a small plan in his stomach, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Your Highness, if you do nothing like this...then you..." The remaining half of the sentence was left unspoken, but everyone knew what the next half of the sentence meant.

"The current situation is that our army and the vampires are confronting each other about a day away. The two sides are at a stalemate." Someone said. "It appears that the vampires have made up their minds to ignore the Rangers. We cannot expect the vampires to be lured away by the Rangers, but something must be done."

This is a fact.The vampire's actions speak for themselves of what he wants to do.In the original expectation, the most ideal result of the ranger's detour behind the enemy would be to attract the vampires.Leto can take the opportunity to defeat the remaining undead army and enter Sylvania.But the vampire didn't cooperate, which led to the current bad situation.

"We can easily defeat the undead legion and eliminate the vampires, why should we delay the war for so long? Summer is here," Leto said suddenly. "The hot weather will come soon, and procrastination will not be good for our army. Moreover, a large army will consume a lot every day. It is more beneficial to end the war as soon as possible rather than procrastinating." Suddenly, Leto seemed to have made up his mind. "In that case, why the delay?"

"My lord, but the valley is too narrow to accommodate a large army. The vampires are holding the exit, and the terrain in that area is not good for us. The undead army of vampires can pass through the complex terrain that our soldiers and horses cannot cross, and attack our army from all directions. .”

"Yes, we can't have a decisive battle." Leto came to the edge of the map.This map is huge, spread out on the conference table, half on the table, half hanging in the air. "Here, purple stone!"

It can be seen from the map that Ryan's army has already arrived at the southern part of Zise Stone. That is to say, if this place is chosen as the battlefield, Leto's entire army must retreat.Then it brings up the next question—what if the vampire refuses to follow?

We must find a way to attract the vampire... Before Leto could ask his subordinates for advice, there was a sound of horseshoes outside.

Horseback riding was originally forbidden near the big tent.The sound of horseshoes can only explain one thing, the scout troops ahead have an emergency situation.Leto looked at the door, and as expected, the curtain door of the big tent was quickly lifted, and the guard came to Leto with a hurried scout.Nothing else is needed, just the scout's expression is enough to prove that something big must have happened.

"His Royal Highness," the scout stepped forward and half-kneeled to report. "The vampire is mobilizing his undead army, and it is rushing towards our army at this moment."

"When did this happen?"

"This afternoon. Although the undead army is moving slowly, it will definitely arrive at our camp before noon tomorrow."

The camp of Ryan's army is actually the camp built by the former Bin tribe.Although the wooden walls, trenches, and mounds where the cannons were placed to resist the enemy have been demolished, the leveled land and the compacted ground cannot be removed.Using the previously built foundation to build a new camp can save a lot of effort, and it is quite strong. If the camp can be defended, it will be difficult for vampires to break in.But the current Leto will not be satisfied with the small achievement of repelling the attack of the undead army.

"Give me the order, the whole army retreats towards the purple stone." Leto ordered calmly.Only he knew in his heart how excited he was, it was like giving him a pillow when he fell asleep.The vampires want to fight, that's fine.

The marching speed of the undead legion, especially the rapid marching speed, is quite slow.Because the main body of the undead army, that is, the zombies, moved very slowly.Leto thought clearly that he would have a whole day to set up the battlefield and face the vampires.

……

"My lord general, there is an urgent letter from His Royal Highness the Prince." When Robin hurried into the room, Baylor was sharing dinner with a group of officers.The supper consisted of a fat goose roasting on the stove, a large plate of bacon, some bread, and a few bottles of claret.When Robin came in, Belleer was holding a large plate to pick up the dripping butter from the fat goose.

"Urgent letter?" Belleil was calm and composed, not intimidated by this sentence at all.He held the plate in one hand, and leisurely took a bottle of jam from the table with the other, skillfully dripping a small amount of jam into the plate.

"What did you say, Robin?" After absently speaking, Belleux immediately turned his gaze back to his own plate, turning the plate with his hands, trying hard to mix the jam and goose fat evenly.

"His Royal Highness is about to have a decisive battle with the vampires. He ordered us to march into other parts of Sylvania immediately to attract as many vampires as possible and reduce the pressure on the front line." Robin finished in one breath.All the officers were discolored by it, except Belleel who was still dealing with his goose fat and jam.

"Understood." After a while, Belleil replied casually.Then he put the plate on the table, picked up a piece of bread in one hand, dipped it in the plate, and put it in his mouth.After a long time, perhaps realizing that everyone was looking at him in the wrong way, Baylor finally looked left and right.

"Everyone, what's the matter?"

"My lord general, this... an order from His Royal Highness..." Belle's attitude was confusing, and it took a long time before someone stammered out. "Do you think... unreasonable?"

"Unreasonable? Why do you think so? What do you think we are doing here?" Baylor asked back. "Aren't we doing what His Royal Highness ordered us to do?"

People looked at each other in blank dismay, but didn't know how to answer for a while.

Belle looked around at everyone and suddenly laughed. "Did everyone make a mistake? The reason why we strengthen our defenses here and hoard food and grass is not to deal with the undead army of vampires. Because I judge that vampires will not attack us at all."

"That's because," Belleer said, he took the whole roast goose off the spit and began to cut it open with his knife.Because the roast goose is very hot, he was very careful. "The Scarlet Duke has a lot of strategy. He won't do such stupid things. If he comes to attack us, even if he can wipe us out cleanly, it's not a good deal. Because that means he has to lead the army Leaving the exit position of the main road, let the main force of our army enter Sivania. Standing in the position of the Scarlet Duke, it is a very loss-making business to eliminate the Rangers but lose the favorable terrain for defense. Let alone our Occupying the city, vampires will spend a lot of effort to destroy us no matter what."

Robin said nothing.He instinctively knew that Baylor was not telling the truth, but he couldn't see any problem logically.

"So." Belle made a forceful gesture, and the knife in his hand drew a circle in the air. "The main reason why we are here is to contain the Bin tribe."

"Bin Clan?" Several officers were stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Binzu." Belleer replied. "The Bin tribe has been conquered by the vampires, but there are still quite a few remaining. According to intelligence, there are still about 1 troops. These troops are now obeying the orders of the vampires."

"However, Lord Belel. I know that we have spread rumors that the remnants of the Bin tribe and us have secretly formed an alliance. In this way, the vampires cannot trust the Bin tribe."

"That's right, but it's just a rumor after all. Vampires may believe rumors, but we can't be fooled by the rumors we spread. The fact is that we haven't signed a secret agreement with the Bin tribe. This means that the Bin tribe is ours. Enemy. Although it is said that because of the vampire's distrust, they are not regarded as a reliable combat force by the vampires. But they are still on the side of the vampires, which is a huge hidden danger."

"However, because our army occupied Menor, the vampire had to let the Bin tribe stay to defend against our attack. In order to prevent the Bin tribe from betraying, he must also leave an undead army to monitor." Baylor Er said in an extremely confident and enthusiastic tone. "That is to say, as long as we don't move anything here, we have already attracted the force of the vampires." After finishing the last sentence, Robin saw a jackal-like smile appearing on the corner of Belle's mouth.

it's getting dark.But the darkness is meaningless to the undead legion. The undead legion is like a silent river, moving forward along the valley.

Ashuruffat sat on the back of the Nightmare Horse, looking at the stumbling river beneath his feet.

"Master, why are you sure that the Ryan people will fight you?" Carrie asked in her mind.

"I'm not sure, Carrie," Ash Rufat replied.

"Not sure? Then you..."

"Carrie. But the current situation... can no longer be saved by tricks. At this point, it can only be done by good luck. Sometimes fate is determined by some uncontrollable accidental factors... Along the way, we don't know How many dangers have I experienced, and many times there is almost a thin line between death and death! It should be said that I have lived until now entirely by luck. So, if I still have luck, if the flame of this strong luck has not been extinguished... Rui The benefactor will choose to fight me!"
