Blood Dragon

"Sylvania War No.90 Seven days, yin. It seems that the vampires have finally figured out a way to fight against the Bin tribe. Although the only link between Sylvania and the outside world is this valley road, and there is an insurmountable terrain outside the road, but This 'impenetrable' refers to larger troops. For sporadic stragglers, it is still possible to find a way through the crevices of the mountain. Especially levitating like ghosts, banshees or bats Flying troops. Vampire attacks have become frequent and crazy, especially since he doesn't care about the life and death of these raiding troops. The night before, all the sentries in our camp were dead, their gray faces full of terror, their hair turned into Pale, loose skin, like a hundred years old overnight. And last night was even worse, I was woken up by the sound of a ghoul chewing bones. Gods bless, if it weren't for the gluttony of the monster, it would have been Should be in my tent."

"General Baylor suggested that Kaidasa strengthen its security, but in my opinion, this is a bit redundant. Because this kind of thing has been going on for more than ten days, no matter how dull people know, it is necessary to strengthen the security. But in fact, the attack is still hard to prevent. In order to increase the defense force and prevent the infiltration of the enemy, the garrison of each camp has been strengthened. The Bin tribe has evenly distributed all the troops in a series of camps built along the road. But if the vampires hope that this method can effectively prevent If they want to stagnate the enemy, then he is wrong. Because the Bin tribe actually has ample reserve forces, as long as they want to, they can strengthen the defense of each camp on the one hand, and speed up the advance on the front line on the other hand. Today, they even passed at the military meeting A decision, to build two camps at a time. If there is no large-scale defeat, then within a month, we will be able to reach Silvania."

"Besides, Great Elder Kaidasa has already left here and went to the front line. I think this is a show of courage, but Master Beler scoffed at it. He said Kaidaza was just going to grab the fruits of victory. Because the undead army He acted quite weak, so he wanted to earn more honor and fame. I asked General Beler what the chances of the Bin tribe were. He just shook his head and didn't speak. But he told me, get your luggage and horses ready, anytime Ready to run away. This is the first time I feel that his idea is a bit whimsical. Although there are not many troops left in our camp, we are far away from the front line. Even if the Bin tribe is wiped out on the front line, there is still a gap between us and the front line. God knows how long it will take for the vampires to chew all the way down with a dozen strong fortresses. Do we need to be so nervous? But in the end, I think it’s better to obey General Beler honestly.”

"However, there is one thing I agree with Lord Baelor, that is, this war is coming to an end..."

……

"This war is coming to an end." Ashuruffat looked at Eric in front of him.At this point they were in a tent with no one else but the two of them.

Eric was noncommittal to his words, and it took him a long time to say: "Duke Scarlet, what are your chances of winning?"

"Honestly speaking, only [-]%." Ashuruffat replied. "But with your help, then I have eighty percent."

"I haven't promised to help you yet."

"You didn't refuse either." Ashuruffat replied. "Eric, why are you doing this? You clearly know that you have nowhere to go but Sylvania. Now if you leave here, once you are recognized, you will die. Everyone knows that you are my subordinate !"

"I seem to have said that that is my business. As long as I have a clear heart, death is nothing to me."

Ashurfat almost wanted to jump up, but finally restrained himself.

"So, can I ask a question?" He stared at the other party and said word by word. "In the end, where am I not in line with your honor? Or what did I do to make you dissatisfied?"

"Do you have to tell me?"

"Say." Ashuruffat asked.

"Because you're a vampire," Eric replied.

"I know that's not your real reason!" Ashuruffat snapped.

"You keep so many girls in the castle for your own food. I know it's normal for vampires, it's unavoidable. But I'm human after all, and I can't accept my kind being eaten Fact. Although human beings will kill each other, perhaps doing more than you. But I still can't accept this kind of thing. I can't work for you, although I am very grateful for everything you have done for me." Eric replied .

"I didn't hurt them!" Ashuruffat stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly said something. "I'm not going to do that either!"

"Don't you like maiden blood? If not, why keep them locked up in the castle?"

"I've only drank the blood of two people in my life! One is my sworn enemy, and the other is the gangster who robbed me on the side of the road!" Ashuruffat's voice was calm, but Eric could clearly see the blood of the vampire. The fire burning in the eyes. "Do you think I want to drink blood? Although I know I'm a vampire, I can't forget that I was once a human. I remember those days without bloodthirsty impulse!"

"You think I like girls' blood? Let me tell you, to me, there is no difference between men, women, old people, children, even healthy ones and sick ones. I can't tell the difference, Because drinking blood is not to satisfy my body, but to satisfy my soul. I like the blood of beautiful girls? I just use those rumors! Because these rumors can deter those who are dissatisfied with me!"

He finished in one breath.There was a hint of shock in Eric's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

"I told you, in my heart, I have always agreed that I am a knight." Ashuruffat continued. "The knight has a basic moral code. Unless the opponent is a sinner, the knight must not harm the defenseless."

If Eric was persuaded, at least his performance wasn't so obvious.The gray-haired old knight hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

"What do you want, Duke Scarlet?" he asked.

"There is actually a second road between Sylvania and Mill City." Ashuruffat quickly found peace in his heart. "You may have heard of it."

"I know, a road occupied by dragons." Eric replied. "Actually, this is not a road, but I heard that it is barely passable... Are you trying to raid Mir City from here? Dragons are not easy to mess with! Its wings will become a huge problem for you. And even if the dragon It happens that you are not there, so that you can lead your army through safely, and your undead army will never be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the scouts. The gates of Mir City will be closed before you arrive. The army will attack you from behind, and then... I don't think it's a winnable situation."

"Yes, if it's the Undead Legion, it's true." Aishuruffat agreed. "So, I don't plan to let the undead army go, at least not as a striker!"

"Oh?" Eric pondered, he had vaguely guessed what the vampire's tactics were.

"Many of the subordinates of the original three lords in Silvania were mercenaries. Mercenaries fought for money. They worked for their employers, but that didn't mean they were loyal to their employers. Their contracts... once When the employer dies, it will be automatically suspended. Before, I captured a lot of mercenaries. During this time, I persuaded a large part of them to be hired by me instead. In addition to some people in the original rebels, I want to force It can gather about 2000 people."

"The Bin tribe itself is composed of various tribes. Now, the various tribes should be intermingled with each other. There is no discipline at all, and most of them didn't know each other before. They may be able to quickly detect An undead army is approaching, but it is difficult to judge whether a human army is their friendly army. From this perspective, I think it should be possible to sneak into Mill City and occupy it for a short time. As long as It will take very little time...and then my main force will be there."

"It's a good plan, but why do you have to find me?"

"Because I can only trust you at the moment." Ashuruffat answered unabashedly. "It doesn't matter whether it's ability or character. If you are in charge of this raid, I believe I'm [-]% sure. If I randomly find someone to be responsible, then I'm only [-]% sure."

"What about the dragon?"

"Don't worry about the dragon, it's not a problem anymore." Ashuruffat replied.

"Did you kill the dragon?" Eric asked.But the vampire just smiled, but didn't answer.

"However, you seem to have overlooked some details." Eric continued. "Perhaps a human army can pass through the mixed area of ​​Bin tribes and come to the city of Mir without causing alarm. But in most cases, if the defenders in the city see a strange army-no matter what they are Who is it, their first reaction is to close the city gates. If it is daytime, then it is impossible for me to cover the whereabouts of the army, and if it is night, then the city gate itself is closed. In this case, either there must be a Someone with a certain status will open the city gate for me, or a group of capable spies must be lurking to open the city gate at critical moments."

"That's right." Ashrufa nodded. "Indeed." In many battle cases, there is such a thing as "fraudulently opening the city gate". The premise is that there is a prisoner who has sufficient status and is willing to cooperate, or a small group of elite spies ambushes at the gate of the city in advance. At the critical moment, the defenders were killed and the city gate opened.But honestly, he has neither.

"You just want me to take a trip to Mill City? So that the Bin tribe will mistakenly think that the Ryan people have betrayed, so that they have to retreat from the front line? I admit that this idea is good, but this is just a delaying tactic..."

"No," Ashuruffat interrupted. "I hope you capture Mir City. According to my information, there are not many troops in the city. In the case of a surprise attack, with 2000 troops, you should be able to temporarily control the whole city. You only need to persist for one day, and I can make the undead The Legion follows."

"It's beyond my abilities."

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible." Ashuruffat took out something from his pocket and put it in Eric's hand. It was a metal seal.

"This is the seal of the governor of Mill City, Belel." Ashuruffat said. "Mir City was only temporarily loaned to the Bin tribe, and its internal management is still the same. I think this thing should be used as a 'token' to convince the soldiers guarding the city gate that you are not the enemy."
