Blood Dragon

"It's going very well, master." In her mind, Carrie said in a slightly excited tone.Carrie cared more about another gain than winning the war. "You caught the magician who locked you. After we go back, we should be able to smoothly analyze how this lock was constructed and how to eliminate it. Based on this, it means that the gods of the star field are very It will be difficult to pose a fatal threat to you again."

If they couldn't judge how the so-called "magic lock" was performed before, they already know it now.The problem lies with Yilan.Bernando, who was captured, had never seen Ashulfat, and he had never even been to Sylvania. It was impossible to use magic to lock Ashulfat.And unlike previous estimates, Bernando didn't know how to cut off this "lock".

Ashurfat has been in Purple Stone for a while.The reason for staying here is because he still needs to know the situation in another place for the time being, and clean up the battlefield at the same time.The problem of dealing with it after the battle was quite serious, because the number of his undead army was greatly reduced after the battle was over due to the holy water.Despite the best efforts of the black mages, too many of the undead have been too damaged to be used again.

Of course, Ashuruffat no longer needs to worry about anyone daring to attack him.In this decisive battle, Ryan's army was almost wiped out.It will take them at least ten years to make up for the loss of the Ryan people in this battle.At least for a long period of time, Ashuruffat no longer has to worry about the Ryans attacking him, and may never have to worry about it.

"Your Excellency, the latest information has arrived. This letter contains detailed information." A subordinate brought him the news. "It has been confirmed that the ranger led by General Beryl has already retreated along the original road. A large number of discarded surplus items were found on the road. It seems that they retreated at full speed and should have arrived in Mill City by now. I suggest," the black man The magician hesitated. "If you want that city...better take this opportunity..."

"I'm just making sure." Ashuruffat replied lightly.This news was completely expected, and he also felt that Baylor would definitely do something, but he didn't expect to retreat quickly.Theoretically speaking, if there is no magic communication, it should take a short time for the results of the purple stone battle to reach Belleel's ears, but Belleel is obviously better informed than expected. The soles of his feet were already oiled when the fierce battle here at Se Shi was in full swing.

If Baylor hadn't been in charge of city defense, he might have tried to see if he could take down the city.But since it's Baylor, forget it.Anyway, Mill City is not a key factor for him.Expanding a little territory but having to bear more heavy defense responsibilities is not cost-effective for him who already owns Sylvania, which is sparsely populated.

"Is the processing work over?" Ashuruffat asked the other subordinates around him.After this battle, he got a large number of prisoners, as well as a mountain of various weapons and equipment.These things are not of much use to the Undead Legion, but they are also valuable supplies.

"It's almost finished." A subordinate replied. "But we need to mobilize some manpower other than the undead army. But these are trivial matters, just leave it to us."

"Well, if you lack manpower, go to Damon." Ashuruffat replied. "You all go to work. I hope all the work can be done today and go back tomorrow."

The subordinates will leave soon, and there is a lot of busy work to do.Ashurfat stood here alone.This is a small hillside on the edge of the battlefield, surrounded by large bushes, some blue and white flowers are dotted among the vibrant leaves of the bushes.

"Did I win?" he said to himself in a voice he could only hear.

"You have won, master. You have destroyed the enemy's main force, and you have found the key to fighting the 'magic lock'! If you still don't believe it, then look around, look at the sky, white clouds, mountains and green grass .All this is proof that you are still alive! You have won!"

"I won! I won!" Ashuruffat suddenly yelled from his chest.He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and slammed on a nearby branch.The branch wobbled, released his fist, and returned to its original form.

It seemed that he had never felt this way all this time.When I was with Thomas, it seemed that I won a lot of battles at that time, but it never felt like this.The same is true when he is the boss of the green skin.It's like every part of my body is excited and wants to vent in some way.

"Because this time, it's a real victory. 'Victory' doesn't mean defeating the enemy, but achieving the goal." Carrie explained softly in her mind. "You should want to go back now?"

"go back?"

"Go home," said Carrie. "Go back to your castle. Someone is waiting for you there."

Someone is waiting for me... Ashuruffat unconsciously looked into the distance.Of course, because of the distance, even his eyesight couldn't see the Dark Castle.Then he suddenly understood what the excitement in his heart was.He was desperate to break the news of his victory to someone...maybe a couple of people.

……

"...Fortunately, the vampires followed the tradition and let the opponent's recorder leave the battlefield. This left us with precious first-hand information about this war. The process of this war can be left intact For future generations to observe..."

"...From today's point of view, considering all aspects of the situation, we can clearly see that although the Ryans have a large army, this decisive battle is not at the right time. General Beler's detour from the small road is bold and ingenious , but it did not cause a serious blow to the military strength of the Undead Legion itself, nor did it get a response from the Bin tribe. On the surface, it seems that it has already occupied a huge advantage, but in fact it has not yet been able to translate the favorable strategic situation into the battlefield. The absolute advantage. Assuming that Leto can delay for a while, assuming that Leto can send a medium-sized reinforcement to Belle... Maybe the final result will be completely different. Of course, history cannot be assumed..."

"...Although Belleel tried his best to advise Leto, in the end, because of underestimating the enemy and greed for merit, Leto was determined to have a decisive battle with the vampires. However, as everyone knows, Leto is in power and strategic vision Maybe he has a certain amount of talent, but this is his first time commanding a battle. He made all the mistakes a novice can make..."

"...the knights charged with all their strength, trying to fight a way out of the weak zombies. Unfortunately, Leto's formation could not give full play to the advantages of the knights, and did not leave enough space for the knights to spread out. The formation made it impossible for the knights to give full play to their charging power. The battle eventually became a stalemate... Then other undead legions entangled tightly, besieging the heroic knights from all directions..."

"The battle came to an end... Only a handful of people escaped the massacre. Leto was one of the few lucky ones. His life was bought by countless Ryan knights..."

"My lord! My lord!" Robin ran in quickly, shouting excitedly all the way.In the room, Belleel was looking for something on the map with a pen. Seeing Robin come in, Belleel put down the pen and straightened his body.

"What's the matter, Robin? Any good news?"

"My lord, the scouts have come to report that the vampires have led the undead army back to Sylvania." Robin said excitedly. "This information has been reconnaissed and confirmed repeatedly. It is absolutely correct."

"Hehe... It's exactly as I expected... He is a smart man, he won't take this risk... But Robin, we must not relax. Inform the scouts to strengthen reconnaissance, and we must speed up work here to complete the city defense All the fortifications needed."

"There is even better news, my lord general."

"Better news?"

"General Beryl, I have received an order from the king!"

"Which king?" Belle frowned.

"Two kings, my lord general. The achievements you said in this war have been recognized by the two kings." When Robin said these words, he clearly saw the expression on Belle's face. An indescribable smile.

"You have been appointed as the lord of the city of Arael, and you have received a lifelong honorary position as a court advisor in Ryan. In addition, you may also receive a bounty."

"Arael? What's that place?" Bellaire asked. "Pretty familiar."

"On the border between the two countries, it is now considered a disputed area. It is a rich territory... But if it is entrusted to you, I believe that the two countries will not have any disputes over the ownership of this city for the time being." Robin Said excitedly. "It is said that the business tax alone can provide you with more than [-] gold coins every year. Unfortunately, it is not a hereditary territory... The relevant specific documents have not yet arrived, but the news has been sent through magical communication."

"Anything else?"

"Well, the latest news. The Ryan people have issued relevant orders, and Leto must take full responsibility for the defeat. He has been revoked the duke title, and a large part of his personal wealth has been confiscated. Besides, there will be a Send Ryan's army to reinforce us, strengthen the defense here, and ensure that vampires cannot take this city... By the way, there is one last message... Our Majesty the King may call you back to the country soon. I heard... We The situation in the northwest is a bit tense...the barbarians have launched an attack again, and may invade by bypassing the White Castle. So His Majesty the King is anxious to let you go back."
