Blood Dragon

After listening to Robin's words, Belleil smiled.

"Robin, who do you think will win this war?" Belleur crossed his hands, resting his elbows on the table, and asked Robin with a very solemn expression.

"This..." Robin thought about it, "I remember you said, my lord, that the fortress advance strategy is sure to win in this kind of terrain."

"Yes, it is true in theory. It is beneficial to march, unfavorable to retreat, and repeated consumption. As I said, even if I am asked to command the army at this moment, I will not change this tactic. This is the most beneficial, the most reasonable, and the greatest chance of winning ...even a tactic that is almost impossible to fail."

"Then the Bin tribe will defeat the vampires...Of course, they will also pay a lot of losses in the tug-of-war. At this time, the Ryan people will..." He didn't say the last half of the sentence.It should be like this, Robin felt that he had completely read through Belle's overall idea.He couldn't help but look back, but there was no one outside at the moment.

Baylor looked at Robin with a slightly approving look. "Robin, do you still know the first article in the Art of War? Know yourself and the enemy, and you can win every battle. It should be said that although you have achieved 'confidant' at the moment, you have failed to 'know the enemy'. It should be said, You're better than you used to be, but it's not enough."

"Sir, what do you mean..."

"If there is a gamble on the war between the Yibin tribe and the vampires, then I will bet on Ashrufat, the bloody Duke." Belel smiled calmly.

"Why?" Robin was stunned for a while, unable to figure it out. "You just said that this kind of fortress advancing tactic is an almost invincible tactic..."

"That's true. If I were to change my position at this moment, for example, if I were the bloody Duke Ashurfat, and I commanded the undead army, I would not be able to find a way to crack the fortress advancing tactics." Beler said. "The disadvantage of vampires is too obvious. If I were a vampire, I would have taken down Mir City first at all costs. After I took down Mir City, I would have a bridgehead to attack outward. Then, I would choose to form an alliance with the Bin tribe. As long as With a certain level of cooperation, the two sides can have the ability to confront the Rui En people head-on. At this time, they can advance and retreat or defend. As long as they can win a battle, they can force the Rui En people to give up their efforts to eliminate me. If the conditions are right, they can even cooperate with the Bin clan to dismember Ryan. Of course, none of this happened, the vampires did not attack Mir City, but were content to occupy Sylvania... This is the most unfavorable state."

Listening to the grand strategic plan described by Baylor, Robin couldn't help but gasped.If the vampires had done this in the first place, it would indeed not be Belle's turn to launch the plan of "driving tigers and wolves away".It is much more likely that the Bin clan and vampires will form an alliance to deal with Ryan.The interests of both parties are even more substantial.

"But," he said emphatically. "Even so, I still believe that the Scarlet Duke can win this war."

"Why?" Robin couldn't help asking.Is it because he is a disciple of Thomas and learned the way of strategizing from Thomas?Of course, this is actually not very sure.So far they are still unable to determine whether the blood-colored Duke Ashurfat is the traveler they met in Mir City back then.

"Because the Scarlet Duke has long been prepared." Belleer replied. "The vampire has been lurking in Sylvania for several years, with careful deployment and thorough preparations. Do you think he would think that after he captured Sylvania, the Ryan people would not react? Of course it is impossible. Let alone A vampire who has lived for an unknown number of years, even an idiot on the side of the road, knows that the Ryan people will definitely send a large army to take back Sylvania. Taking Sylvania is easy, relying on the undead army that is suddenly summoned, the local lords have no It is very possible to succeed without defense. But it is difficult to defend Sylvania, because he must defeat the army of Ryan people. In other words, the Scarlet Duke has considerable confidence in himself and is sure that he After being able to defeat the Ryan army, I chose to raise troops to occupy this land."

Robin nodded.Baylor's reasoning is rigorous and impeccable.

"In addition, the choice of time is also very interesting. It stands to reason that he should wait a little longer, and wait until the Bin tribe and the Ruien people go to war, and the troops are greatly restrained before doing anything. Anyway, vampires live forever, so they don't care about waiting for a few more years. But he didn't do that, which shows that his battle plan with a high chance of winning against Ryan's army was established without relying on external forces at all."

"Ah..." Robin couldn't help but groaned.

"Of course, he is too confident. If it were me, even if I am 99% sure, I don't mind pushing the time back for a few more years. When the Bin tribe and the Ryan people go to war, then my certainty will become 100% Already." Baylor seemed to be laughing at himself.

"So, Robin, you understand. That's why I have to promote this 'eating tigers and wolves' plan." Bellel continued to explain, "On the surface, everyone thought that this was a way to harm both the Bin tribe and the vampires. In fact, my original intention was just to let the Bin tribe try to find out the real trump card of the vampire. It almost means "trapping".

"However, I believe that my plan to drive away tigers and wolves must have exceeded the expectations of the vampires. What the vampires plan to deal with is the army of the Ryan people. But I didn't expect that the Ryan people did not come, but the Bin tribe came instead. Of course, yes For a vampire, the difference between the two is not very big, but he must use the trump card that he originally intended to deal with the Ryans to deal with the Bin tribe."

Baylor put down his hand, picked up the piece of paper he had calculated just now, and read a few voices in a very low voice.He seemed satisfied with the calculations, so he put down the paper and looked at Robin again.

"Now I understand why I worked so hard. For me, this war is a drill, a wargame. I want to see what this vampire is capable of. By the way, Robin, if you want to be a general, There is a good opportunity in front of you. Let me give you a suggestion, write some daily diaries. Write down the main points in the war every day, as well as what you have seen, heard and felt. After everything is over, you can review it carefully, which is very rare This is an opportunity to fully experience the war from head to toe. I went to the construction site, if you are tired, you can rest early."

Belle left.Robin is alone in the tent now.The boy saw the paper and pen on the table, no, not only white paper, but even some blank notebooks, which are very suitable for writing diaries.

He sat down where Belleel had been sitting just now, and picked up his pen.This is the first time he wrote a diary, so he felt a little bit at a loss for a while.By the way, the general said, write down the main points of the war.

"The first day of the Sylvanian War. It was sunny. Today, the war officially started. Our forward, which is the army commanded by Great Elder Kedasa, successfully defeated an undead army blocking the way. But it is a pity that no Catch the necromancer who controls the undead army. He must have fled at the beginning of the battle. The battle was very simple, and most of the undead army was wiped out under the cannon and musket. Our casualties were very small. After the battle, Belair The general worked hard to help them build the camp. The vampires did not launch night raids and counterattacks."

……

"The seventh day of the Sylvanian War. Yin. Some people thought that the weather change was caused by the magic of vampires and his minions, but the priests thought it was just a normal weather change. The forward of our army arrived at the second scheduled camping site, There was no undead legion in the area. The soldiers immediately started construction. Because there was already a ready-made example, General Beler stayed behind and did not go to the front line to guide them in the construction project. No trace of the undead legion was found... "

"Sylvania War No. 18 days. Sunny. No trace of the undead legion was found. The new camp has begun to be built..."

"Battle of Sylvania No. 30 Eight days. It was sunny. No trace of the undead army was found. The new camp started to be built. General Beler said that a total of sixteen camps will be built. We have started to build without any resistance. It's the sixth camp. I've heard whispers that the vampires have already given up here. There's no point in stalling here..."

"Four days of the Sylvanian War. Clear. News from the front that the Undead Legion is finally launching a wave of counterattack, trying to attack our half-built No. [-] Battalion. But this wave of attack was easily defeated. The remaining The undead army retreated, but we did not pursue. Casualties were within acceptable limits, according to battle reports we lost hundreds of people. The biggest mistake was that the frontline troops had no cannons and no magicians. If both It is estimated that there will be no more than ten casualties in this battle. The combat effectiveness of the undead army is very low. It is said that an infantryman on the front line was scared and fled when the zombies approached. This normal situation will cause the team to The total annihilation rout resulted in only two deaths. The cause of death for these two unlucky ones was that they were caught up and swallowed by the zombies because they fell to the ground. Any loss. General Beler emphasized at the military meeting today not to be greedy for success, but I can see that the effect is not great. Many elders and great elders of the Bin tribe are looking forward to entering Silvania as soon as possible. There is news from the rear Later, there were some minor conflicts between the Bin tribe and the Ruien people, and the consumption of food reserves was greater than expected..."

"Sylvania War No. 60 six days. Yin. What Mr. Beler worried about finally happened. A big elder of the Bin tribe named Pain led the troops all the way. In the original No. 14 and No. 15 camps The position in between was attacked by the army of vampires, and almost the entire army was wiped out. According to those who escaped, there were a large number of black magicians on the other side. Under the impetus of black magic, the undead creatures were tireless and tireless. Unnaturally fast speed, rapid bumping and attacking. At the same time, black magic also gave these undead creatures a new speed and ferocity in attacking. But these are only part of the factors, and the real cause of the rout is the dire wolf, These wolves easily passed through the mountains on both sides that were difficult for humans to pass, and attacked Paine's troops from the rear. It was this front and rear attack that finally destroyed the resistance of the Bin tribe. Many people climbed out of hell with them Wolves were sacrificed in battle because of the incredible ability of these fearsome creatures to take damage, even when mortally wounded. This was true even after they were hacked to pieces. Survivors recounted the horrific scene, the chopped up The dire wolf convulsed in pieces for a long time, knowing that normal animals are already dead beyond death."

"In this battle, the church magicians accompanying the army did not play a role. Someone saw a burning brazier on the corpse cart, emitting black smoke. It is believed that the warpstones burned from these braziers. The smoke contains Particles of Warp Stone, so it affects the magic wind and makes the magician lose the ability to cast spells. The only good thing is that all people have drunk holy water before the battle. Vampires cannot use their corpses to fight our army... Lord Belel was a little happy, because he thought that the ability of these dire wolves to adapt to various terrains was the trump card of vampires, or one of the trump cards... It seemed that there was a certain shortage of supplies in the army, and many people were complaining. But At least there is no such situation in the tribe of Kaidazar, Master Beler and I both ate very well..."
