Blood Dragon

Section 150 Education

"This... about bloodline inheritance," Robin said. "It is said everywhere that the descendants of the Mark Remiz family are all brave and staunch. This has been confirmed many times before King Mark Remez established this country."

"Indeed... many worldly prejudices are also based on facts." Baylor admitted. "For example, the theory of blood. Sometimes it must be regarded as prejudice, and sometimes it must be regarded as fact... Well, things in the world are always so complicated."

He turned his head and looked at Robin, "Robin, it won't take long before Byron will send someone to us. At that time, he will ask us to send troops to assist on the condition that he surrenders to Tiberius. At that time, I was sure His Majesty the King would ask me for advice, and then he would follow my advice. Tell me, what should I do? Miss this opportunity, maybe there will be no chance in this life, seize this opportunity... We may be forced to Fighting a monster. What's worse... This monster is only 12 years old this year! Even if she suffers a big loss, she still has enough time to lick her wounds and wait patiently for the chance of revenge! While I was alive, Maybe she didn't have a chance, but I'm sure she'll still have plenty of years to squander when I'm dead."

He let out a long sigh and looked at Robin in a very dejected manner.But although he was asking a question, Robin knew very well that his general was not actually waiting for his answer.

"Maybe it's because I'm old, I look forward to everything, and I'm afraid of tigers and wolves!"

"Master General, is that an exaggeration?"

"It's never a mistake to overestimate the enemy," Baylor replied.

"But..." A flash of inspiration flashed in Robin's mind, "This battle may not be directed by her. Maybe she is just a name, and the actual commander is someone else. For example, that Ashurfate! He But he is the commander of the Guards Corps. Even if he is not a vampire, he is still a disciple of Thomas, so it is not surprising that he has such a record!"

"Unfortunately, no," Baylor replied. "The little queen led the guards. And an army does not need two commanders, so there is only one result in a situation like this. Either the king actually controls the command and makes the general a decoration, Either the general actually took control of the command and turned the king into a banner. But this time, according to my information, this Mr. Ashrufat is completely unknown and completely empty. And the little queen is the only one in this war And the real commander... 12 years old!" The corner of his mouth twitched. "When I was 12 years old, I was still playing with wooden swords, but she had already dared to lead an army into battle. This kind of courage has been out of the level of 'human', and it is not an exaggeration to call it a 'monster'. Robin, you You really should go meet that little queen, instead of quietly gathering information in Falcon City."

"By the way, General, about General Rafa..."

"I've got the news." Baylor replied. "It was the barbarians who took action. They used a new magic curse. Even Rafa himself fell ill and had to strictly block the news."

"Magic curse?"

"I don't know the details. I heard about it from a friend in the church. The church thinks this is a sign of a massive invasion by barbarians. Gruney's game..." Bellel showed a smile that scared Robin . "It's getting more chaotic."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Robin, when you go out during this time, have you studied hard as I asked?"

Robin used to be Belleer's entourage, but in reality he was more of a mentor than a master and servant.At least for a long time now, Belleer has regarded it as his duty to educate Robin.

"I learned it seriously." Robin replied

"Very good," Baylor picked up the paper and pen, and came to the table.His movements were fast, and he drew the graph on the paper in no time. "Tell me... Do you have any conclusions about Thomas' formation in the Misty Grassland?"

"My lord general, I have carefully conceived and deduced many times. In the end, I felt... I couldn't see through Thomas' formation. According to the theory you taught me, I think his victory was simply accidental. The reason why he won is entirely It is because the Paro people have made big mistakes both strategically and tactically."

"The Paro people made strategic mistakes. That has nothing to do with Thomas' own ability. It just gave Thomas a bigger and better chance. What I want you to study is his formation skills and tactical ideas."

"I don't think his skills... are really skills. My lord general, he doesn't even have a reserve team. I have a feeling that if I were the general of the Paro people, then I would have full confidence in fighting in the Misty Grassland Beat Thomas."

"Hahaha..." Belle laughed out loud. "You're right. But if you or I were commanding the Paro army, then Thomas would never have set up this formation, let alone leave a reserve team. Because first of all, neither you nor I would be here Carrying out a meaningless battle. How should I put it...Thomas did not choose this tactic out of nowhere, but because of the judgment and synthesis of various factors, he finally chose this method. A layman can think that this is a blind touch Win by killing rats. But you have to understand that when a person has never lost a battle in his life, he must not be explained by luck, but must stand on a higher level, think carefully about this person's thinking, and find out his reason to win."

"However, Thomas arranged the elite on the two wings and left a pointed stake in the center as an ambush. This kind of thinking and technique is really not clever."

"Look at the problem in terms of results. In the end, Thomas won a big victory... so the simple and crude trap he set is itself a most ingenious strategy."

"Master General... I don't quite understand."

"Well, Robin, as a general, the most important thing is to judge the enemy. Just like as a hunter, you must determine your prey. A bear trap cannot catch a hare, and a rabbit trap cannot catch a bear. This is "Know yourself and know your enemy" in the art of war is also the most difficult skill for a general to master. According to my point of view, because the Paro made a strategic mistake, Thomas can infer that the Paro general is young, reckless and lacks Experience - Of course, he must have other sources of information to confirm this. After understanding the enemy's character, he can deduce the enemy's tactics, and finally set up his own targeted tactics. For example, things about the reserve team, it turns out , It is not wrong for him to abandon the reserve team, but a very correct choice. It is precisely because he has invested all his troops that he has strengthened his own combat power, ensuring that the enemy will not break through the line of defense in the first place."

"My lord, you think too highly of Thomas."

"Oh, I've been researching this battle in my spare time recently. In the end, I can only think that either Thomas is a newcomer to the battlefield, who only knows how to charge and fight, and he has just started his career as a general, or he is an old and treacherous man. To the extreme, he already has a vision that deeply understands the essence of the battle situation, and a veteran with extraordinary self-confidence." He said. "To be honest, if I were to command the Paro people, I would not have the confidence to defeat Thomas in this battle."

When he admitted that he was not as good as Thomas, Belleur didn't show any expression of frustration, but a clear sigh instead.

"If I were to command, then I would be cautious in every step, and confront Thomas with the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Fighting him with the idea of ​​accumulating small victories for big victories... This is the most stupid Thoughts, but maybe it is the only way to defeat Thomas. Hey...It's a pity that I was entangled in mundane affairs back then. Thomas, but I don't know if Thomas knows there is me in the world."

"My lord general, don't say that. You are famous and well-known to all nations. Thomas must have heard of you long ago. Perhaps he and his subordinates have studied you, just as you have studied him."

"I hope so." Baylor crumpled up the piece of paper he had drawn in his hand and threw it to the corner.Then he sat back in the chair and fell into a state of trance.

It's hard to describe his expression at the moment, but if it has to be, it can only be called loneliness.

Robin knew that he had to resign, so he didn't bother his lord general, turned around and left quietly, and closed the door when he went out.

At dusk, Robin received urgent information from the palace.In Belleur's mansion, everyone knew Robin's identity, so he read most of the new letters and urgent reports before forwarding them to Belleel.As Baelor's former entourage and current subordinate, Robin's loyalty is unquestionable.

The urgent report was exactly what Baylor had mentioned.This morning, the little queen of the Mark Remiz family took advantage of the opportunity when the enemy was tired and unprepared, and launched a full-scale surprise attack at dawn, annihilating the unprepared Byron army in one fell swoop.However, this information is much more detailed than what Belleer said, including the casualties of the two armies, the situation of the captives, the measures taken by the little queen to the captives, the reactions of all parties after the war, and so on.

However, these details are not too surprising.According to what was mentioned in this information, the little queen immediately adopted the most realistic attitude, allowing the other captives to pledge their allegiance to her and switch to her command except for a few people whom she had declared rebellious.Then the following things will be logical.Not to mention the captives, even those who did not participate in the war, the nearby nobles who originally belonged to Byron's vassals immediately made their own choices, crying and begging the little queen for forgiveness.

……

"...Being forgiven by His Majesty, I am terrified... I was deceived by traitors in the past..."

The little girl waved her hand, motioning the talkative person to step back.Although the other party still wanted to express his repentance and loyalty to the queen with words, he did not dare to continue speaking, but retreated after saluting.

It's also the last one.This exhausting interview was finally over, and now the little girl came back to her senses and looked at the subordinates standing on both sides, waiting for her order.When did it start?The ignorance of the courtiers she had faced at the Imperial Council had disappeared, replaced by respect and awe.Maybe it's because the ministers changed a batch.She suddenly remembered a very important thing.She just thought of it now!

"Ashrufat...hasn't come back yet?"
