Blood Dragon

They started back the way they had come.

Everyone could feel that the Great Elder, that is, Damon, the head of the envoy, was obviously in an extremely bad mood.During this journey, no one even dared to make a sound.However, after walking for a while, perhaps realizing that Damon's mood had eased, a person followed quietly and drove the horse side by side with Damon.

"My lord, how is the situation...?" the man asked in a low voice.But unlike the talkative one just now, this one is Damon's confidant.

"It's not good," Damon replied. "Both of my proposals... were rejected by the vampire."

Of course, this is nothing surprising.The first proposal is to form an alliance and fight against the enemy together - of course, the vampires must first launch an attack on Ryan's homeland.Anyone who is not a fool will understand that this is clearly letting the vampires take millet out of the fire for the Bin clan.The second proposal is to allow the Bin tribe to relocate to Sylvania, but they must remain du li and cannot accept the rule of vampires.The vampire also refused without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because of the two proposals that the Bin clan had ulterior motives.The vampire then immediately changed the subject, claiming that he liked the "blind girl" at the embassy, ​​and demanded that Leia be kept.That being said, he didn't give Damon a chance to bargain at all.He didn't even give Damon and Leia a chance to meet again, and "kicked" the envoy out of the castle after two or three sentences.

"so……"

"Well, I'm afraid war is inevitable." Damon replied.That old guy in Kaidasa is very supportive of war against vampires, and most of the elders agree with this view.Because the facts in front of you are obvious.Either fight a vampire or fight a Ryan.If they fight with the Ryan people, then the Bin tribe will be alone and helpless, and the chances of winning are really slim.But if you fight a vampire, the situation is completely reversed.According to the instinct of all human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they should indeed choose vampires as their opponents.

Of course, factors of instability also exist.When fighting vampires, the Ryan people should not act rashly in order to avoid being the target of public criticism.But after the victory of the war, the Ryan people are likely to take the opportunity to launch an attack.

At that time, will they be able to use the favorable terrain of Sylvania in time to fight against the Ryans?He recalled the face of the vampire, and shivered for some reason.

"I'm thinking too much about how to deal with vampires right now... But, what kind of winning strategy is that Beler said..." He whispered to himself, he shouldn't have walked so fast at that time, he should have a better understanding of that what The winning strategy is right. "What kind of winning strategy is it?"

……

"The so-called winning strategy, in the final analysis, is to use one's own advantages to counter the enemy's disadvantages. For example, we have [-] days of food, and the enemy has [-] days of food... In theory, we only need to fight for [-] days. When we run out of food, the enemy will all starve to death." Bellel explained to Robin. "It's about winning. Because if you don't fight, you win."

"However, the enemy will not starve there stupidly. Wouldn't they bypass our army and attack the mainland behind our army? We won't have to fight at that time. Once we fight, there will inevitably be winners and losers .”

"That's right, Robin. It seems that you have made great progress." Baylor smiled slightly. "That's the way it is, so these are 'theoretical' things."

"My lord general, are you... going to lie to them..."

"Me?" Belle laughed, looking up into the distance.Although the journey was not particularly long, it took several days.However, Mill City can already be seen ahead, and this journey is about to come to an end. "Nonsense! How could I lie to people? I just offered a suggestion. As for whether to accept it or not, or what the consequences of accepting it are, they can only ask themselves. After all, I am not a fortuneteller."

He made a helpless gesture, but Robin could feel an unconcealable pride in his master.Robin was instantly relieved.From their standpoint, the Bin tribe is the enemy, and the vampire is also the enemy. No matter what you do to the enemy, it is justified and you should not be ashamed of it.

"My lord, if your plan is successful this time, Ryan will definitely praise you greatly? His Majesty the King will also be proud of you."

"Really?" Belle just smiled after hearing these words. "Robin, you still don't understand." Baylor stared at Mill City in front of him. "Speaking of accolades... Actually, I guess, in Ryan, someone already hated me."

"Hate you?" Robin asked strangely.Beler conceived the entire strategy, and as an envoy to the Bin tribe, he finally achieved his goal.It can almost be said that Baylor took care of the whole thing single-handedly.Not to mention anything else, the Ryan people completely got rid of the threat of the Bin tribe without a single soldier, and this credit alone is already considerable.In this case, how could the Ryan people who had even planned to abandon Sylvania hate it?It stands to reason that it is too late to be grateful!

"Well, for example, the people who are waiting for us in Mir City...our Duke Leto should be very bored with me." Belle replied with a smile. "What reward do you think he will bring?"

"An honorary title, and a considerable bounty." Robin replied.For foreign nobles, this is already a very heavy reward. "Maybe there's a treasure or two or something..."

"No," Baylor replied. "Probably only a few pleasant empty words, and then complained with various reasons. In the end, let me be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and continue to stay in Mill City. Monitor the movements of the Bin Clan for them."

In the agreement reached between the Ryan people and the Binzu, Mir City must be "temporarily loaned" to the Binzu as a rear base until the Binzu regains Sylvania.This condition is very generous, but Robin knows that this is actually a foreshadowing for the follow-up.If the Bin tribe defeated the vampires, then the ownership of this city would be the best excuse for the next war.

"Impossible!" Robin asked in disbelief. "Why are they..."

"Because someone started to hate me!" Baylor replied seemingly indifferently. "Fortunately, I don't really care about this. Through these things, I should be able to complete His Majesty's original mission of 'dealing with vampires'. I should be recalled to the country soon. Finally, I can leave here and go back..."

"My lord general, do you think... the Bin clan can defeat vampires?"

"If the vampire is the Ashrufat we met, the Bin tribe is [-]% sure."

"What if not?" Robin asked.

"Then it's [-]% sure." Baylor laughed. "Oh, look, there is a welcome guard of honor at the gate."

There was indeed a welcome guard of honor at the gate of the city, and it was Leto himself who led the team.Robin remembered the last time they had greeted Leto in the city.This time, the arrogant Duke Leto personally led the team to greet him, and he did it more thoroughly than last time, and he waited at the gate of the city.

The welcoming ceremony was over soon.From Robin's point of view, although Leto's contemptuous attitude is still there in his bones, on the surface he is also polite, with low eyebrows.

"General Beryl." Leto welcomed Beryl into the Governor's Palace.You must know that Baylor is nominally the "acting" governor of the city, but because of the mission of the Bin tribe, all the affairs in the city are temporarily entrusted to Leto.Therefore, it is not appropriate for Leto to welcome him as his master at this moment, but Belleel didn't care about this trivial matter.

"Your Excellency really has worked hard." Leto said happily. "The Bin tribe has already agreed, and the church is sending people here. After discussing some details, we should be able to reach an agreement. I didn't expect the relationship between us and the Bin tribe to end in this way...but..." He said He looked like he was hesitant to talk.

"Oh, what does the Duke think is wrong?" Belleil asked casually, and at the same time cast a meaningful look at Robin.

"It's like this. According to the agreement, we will withdraw our troops from this area and 'temporarily loan' them to the Binzu. In fact, it's not just Mill City. In order to let the Binzu migrate with peace of mind, we gave up a lot along the way. area, withdrew many troops and people, and handed over many important strongholds to the Bin tribe..."

"You know, in order to dispel the suspicion of the Bin tribe, this is an indispensable condition." Robin could see it this time.Isn't this nonsense?If you continue to guard the key positions with heavy troops, how can the Bin people dare to leave the territory and migrate together.

"Naturally... But, handing over such an area to the Bin tribe... is a very difficult thing to make people feel at ease... Don't you think so?" Tor saw something amiss in his evasive words.

"My lord duke means..." Belleur pretended not to understand.

"His Majesty the King hopes that you can come here to monitor the movements of the Bin tribe. We are worried that instead of attacking the vampires, the Bin tribe will occupy this area... This is equivalent to sending them a strong city, a bunch of fortresses, and countless Checkpoint sentry, things become very troublesome..."

"The Bin people won't be so stupid. If they use force at that time, they..." Robin yelled, but immediately understood his faux pas.Belle and Leto looked over - Leto looked disgusted, while Belle looked helpless.

"Robin, go out for a while," Baylor said.

Robin walked out obediently, and after a long time, he saw Belle come out of the room.

"Robin, look, did I guess everything right?" Belleur didn't look angry, but asked Robin with a smile.

"Why?" Robin asked puzzled this time.He really couldn't see the logic behind it.

"Robin, have you noticed that people often send me letters? Even when I am on a mission, it is no exception?"

"Master General, you... sent spies to inquire about the situation of the Ryan people?" Robin suddenly realized.

"Spy? What spy! I am the Acting Governor of Mill City appointed by Ryan Kingdom, and I am a completely legal and official official! Have you ever seen an official send a spy to his country? It's really ridiculous." Bellel looked shocked Hurt look. "I just asked a friend to inquire about the situation."
