Blood Dragon

Section 150 Observation

"Master General, are you there?" Robin knocked on the door several times and shouted.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Robin pushed the door open and saw Belleur, who was holding a pen beside the map and resting his chin in thought.Obviously, Baylor is thinking about a problem, and he is thinking about a more complicated problem.Because there is a piece of paper next to the map, and a lot of graffiti that is obviously left by Belle can be seen on the paper.

Robin had been with Baelor long enough that he knew right away that his general was thinking big things.At times like this, Baylor is very unwilling to be disturbed.

"Robin!" Belleil finally recovered from his state of contemplation, and threw the pen in his hand on the table. "Ah, how is your health? Have you recovered?"

"It's all right," Robin replied.He could see that Baylor's expression was not so much happy as depressed.Of course, this frustration is definitely not aimed at Robin, but should be the question that Belle was thinking about just now. "I'm sorry, General, but in the middle of the mission... fell ill... had to return..."

"It's okay." Belle waved his hand. "It's good that you are in good health, otherwise your wife may come to your door to ask the teacher about your crimes, and then I will be speechless."

Of course, this sentence is completely joking.Not to mention that Robin is not married yet, just a fiancee.Even if it is a wife, it is impossible to come to the door to question Belle.

"Tell me about your travel experiences." Baylor said in a seemingly casual tone.

"Master General, have you received my letter?" Robin asked.

"Got it." Belle replied.

"Did something... happen?" Robin asked hesitantly.

"A big thing has happened." Belleil sighed, running his hands through his messy hair. "In fact, something happened... beyond logic, beyond imagination... I don't even know how to describe it." He finally said. "This morning, Luvia Angel Mark Remiz, Queen of Gruene, personally led the army and launched a surprise attack at dawn, annihilating Byron's [-] troops in one fell swoop."

"What...!!" Even Robin was stunned and speechless.

"So this thing is going to hell!" Baylor said. "It's like a pregnant cow giving birth to a foal. It's a fantasy, I still feel like I'm dreaming."

"Is this...reliable news?" Robin asked.This is too outrageous, wait, if there are vampires behind the scenes...

"Now this news...should have been delivered to His Majesty the King. He will take a while to confirm, and the news will be spread around the evening." Belleer replied.

Robin had known long ago that Baelor had a separate set of news outlets.So he wasn't surprised to hear Baylor say that.

"My lord general...but about the Scarlet Duke..."

"That Ashurfat is not the Scarlet Duke." Belleer replied.The calm expression and decisive tone he spoke made Robin stunned unconsciously.

"But, I saw it with my own eyes... that is indeed Ashuruffat, that's right, the one we've seen before!"

"Robin...I've already confirmed this matter." Belleer replied. "On the day you met Ashurfat, the Scarlet Duke was meeting guests in Sylvania. Although I know that the vampire is a powerful magician with many unknown abilities. But he does not have the ability to teleport thousands of miles away ability? If we had this ability, how could we have killed Queen Qinxin back then?"

"But……"

"I thought about the whole thing carefully, and found a detail that we had overlooked... For a long time, we thought that Ash Rufat (the Ash Rufat we met) was a vampire because of two points The first is that the Scarlet Duke is also called Ashurfate, and the second is the personal seal I once gave him. The vampire raided Mill City with this seal. But when you think about it carefully, these two reasons are actually not sufficient The evidence. Needless to say the name, the seal can't explain anything, because the seal is just an item that can be given away at will!"

"And thinking back carefully on the process of our getting to know Ashurfat, there are indeed many doubts in it." Beler continued. "First, remember the first time we met Ash Rufat? That time, he was the guard of a casino scammer. Although vampires will definitely cover up their identities during the journey, as a vampire... it is necessary to do this work?"

Robin also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no direct evidence that Ashuruffat is the Scarlet Duke...

"However, their names are all called Ashuruffat. I think this is too coincidental? This name is not common."

"Robin, the language used by vampires is different from the lingua franca of our humans," Baylor said. "The same pronunciation can have completely different meanings. From the point of view of the name alone, there is a high possibility that this is an accidental duplication of the name caused by a transliteration. Not only this, I just recently learned... there is an elf name Also called Ashurfate, and a prince. You see, Robin, this kind of accidental repetition a lot."

He paused, "At least, there are a few obvious holes in your judgment." Bellel held up a finger. "First, Gruney is not important enough to ask the Scarlet Duke to come forward in person. Second, even if the vampire is doing a boring adventure, he will not be so idiotic as to use his real name. Third, even if the vampire is an idiot to change his name, he He would not start with the Queen's bodyguard either. Because without Byron's coup, he would have no chance of making his mark at all, and would be just a meaningless guard. In the end, even if the vampire is unpredictable, the risk of this matter is great It exceeds the benefits. In short, our Mr. Ashrufat became the queen's confidant and became the minister, which is completely an accident formed by the joint action of many aspects, which is unpredictable."

He turned to look at Robin, "Of course we can't take it lightly. After all, a vampire is not a human being, and his way of thinking may be different from that of a human being. Back then in Calian, they fought crazily to the last. We can take this It is understood that there is such a possibility, but it cannot be confirmed. Well, let's not discuss this matter."

He turned his eyes to the map beside him, showing a very confused expression.

"Robin, anyway, the unthinkable has happened. Not only is our little queen who was destined to disappear so quickly, but now the very worst thing that could happen to us...she will be A real queen with total control over Gruni."

"Wait a minute, my lord," Robin replied. "Did the Duke of Byron die in the chaos?"

"No, he's not dead. Although he doesn't know where he is now, he can definitely escape back to Fornoros City."

"My lord, I have personally seen the defensive strength of Fornoros City. I can be sure that Byron can rely on this lair to resist for a long time. The little queen won the battle, but she only temporarily gained the advantage, far from being able to talk about it." Victory. Based on my understanding of Duke Byron's strategic arrangements, he will definitely leave enough troops in his lair."

"No..." Belle shook his head. "Robin, you don't understand." He pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about how to express it. "The outcome of a war is sometimes not decided by the two parties involved in the war."

"What are you talking about, General..."

"Robin, you should understand... Gruene has always been a key area of ​​the church. The church has arranged more temples and priests in Gruene than any other country. This is because whether it is the church or the Mark Remiz family, They all need to use each other's strength to resist the invasion of the barbarians who believe in evil gods in the north. In the war between the little queen and the Duke of Byron, the church maintained neutrality, but they will not remain neutral forever. Once the victory is divided, my It means that when there is no suspense in the war itself...the church will not allow the loser to stall for time! Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean, those people from the church will go to war?"

"Yes, the church needs a stable Gruny, not a Gruny who is caught in a long-term civil war. The church can accept a short-term civil war... In this case, they will remain neutral. In fact, it is not only the church in Gruny, but also This is the case with other forces. Once the result of the war is known...the loser will have no chance to stand up. Byron is finished. No matter how strong the city he built is just a stone coffin. He can still live How long... depends on what the little queen thinks, or some other people's opinions."

Baylor stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window thoughtfully.

"My lord, were you just... thinking about something?"

"Just now, I was thinking carefully about Gruney's little queen." Belle said softly. "It seems that everything is accidental and accidental, but if you connect the whole process, you will find that every step of her is planned, at least interlocking. I still remember when Byron launched the coup Is it? At that time you came to see me at night."

Robin nodded.

"At that time, I still judged that the little queen was a pawn destined to be out." Belle said in an indescribable tone. "Am I really old? Can't even see things clearly?"

"My lord general, why is she intertwined? In my opinion, she just launched a surprise attack and defeated Byron who is incompetent in military affairs by luck."

"If only things were that simple." Baylor sighed. "Robin, if she could defeat Byron, why did she delay sending troops until now? Is there a full gap of nine months or ten months? Nine months is enough to make an unprepared city impregnable. Which person—as long as he has a little bit of reason—would give the enemy enough time to prepare for war? If you were the little queen, you would definitely rectify the royal city a little bit, and attack Byron immediately .Soldiers are precious and fast, this is the basic of the art of war. Since you have been to Falcon City, you must know that during these nine months, the Little Queen did not expand the strength of the Guards, nor did she carry out any major tactics , equipment changes and training... In fact, when she went out for the last time, she didn't even bring the whole army of the Guards with her."

"This one……"

"This shows that all of this is planned and for a reason." Baylor replied. "The little queen has long been confident of defeating Byron, but she is unwilling to rush to do it. I really can't believe it... Could it be that Garunas really rose from the grave? Or is the power of blood inheritance really real? is so powerful, is that little queen really...so good?"
