Blood Dragon

"Your Excellency Bernando." While speaking, Belle opened the curtain door and walked into the tent, with Robin following behind him.In the tent, a person wearing a purple cloak was sitting on a chair—this chair, together with a simple small table and a camp bed, constituted all the furniture in the tent.He didn't seem to hear Belle'er's voice, and remained motionless as if an old monk was in meditation.But Belleur didn't seem to take it seriously, and stood motionless at the entrance.

Until Robin began to suspect that the other party was a little abnormal, the priest named Bernando finally opened his eyes.

"Sorry," Bernando said. "I was meditating just now. Lord Belair, what did you come to see me for?"

"What about the vampires?"

"I don't know." Bernando replied. "Why do you ask me this kind of thing? You should ask the Bin tribe about this kind of thing... such as the great elder Kedasa."

Belle smiled. "There is no one else here, dear priest. I know you can sense the presence of vampires. So I want to know where the vampires are."

"That's the power God gave me. I can only sense him, but I can't know what he is doing." Bernando replied. "It just helps me find vampires at any time, that's all."

"Oh," Belleil looked at the other party, "May I ask, which way are the priests going to take when they retreat?"

This time, Bernando's face was obviously shaken.

"Retreat? What do you mean? Didn't we march all the way smoothly?"

"Oh, I believe the church will always consider this aspect. After all, there is a possibility of defeat." Belle was all smiles, but Bernando's face was obviously not very good-looking.

"Your Excellency, please don't make such a joke." The other party pulled the cloak. "I have to meditate. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here."

After receiving this unceremonious order to evict guests, Belleur made a gesture helplessly, then turned around and left the tent.

"My lord, you just suddenly..." Leaving the tent and coming to a place where no one was around, Robin asked eagerly.He really didn't understand why Belleel came here to say these words.

"Robin, the war is coming to an end." Belle looked at Robin with a smile. "You have a feeling for that."

"Well, you said that as long as the Bin tribe arrives in Sylvania, the vampires will have no choice but to fight a decisive battle." Robin asked eagerly. "Who will win?"

"I don't know." Belleil had an innocent expression. "But if I'm asked to bet, then I'll be on the side of the Scarlet Duke."

"Why?" Robin remembered very clearly that Baylor had carefully analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides for him before, and believed that the Bin tribe had a great chance of winning.Could it be that Lord Belleil has amnesia and has completely forgotten the previous things (although Belleel speculates that the vampire has an ace, but the ace is still missing).

"A fundamental problem has arisen," Baylor replied. "The Bin tribe must be defeated." When they said this, they came to a small hillside.There is no one around here. Standing here, you can see the camp built by the Ben tribe in the distance.

"My lord, please don't be a fool." Robin couldn't take it anymore.The vampire didn't reveal its trump card!

"Robin, do you understand politics?" Baylor asked suddenly. "As a general, you should have a sense of politics to some extent, otherwise you may be cut off by a subordinate on the way home in triumph. You don't want to end up in this kind of result?"

"My lord, you've changed the subject again." Robin shouted. "You haven't told me what happened."

"Well, that said, some people don't want the Bin tribe to win." Belleur replied. "In fact, there are 'a lot' of people who don't want Binzu to win."

"Who?" Robin was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"The church, the Ryan people, and some other inexplicable guys." Bellel replied. "The Bin clan may not escape this catastrophe." There was some regret in his voice. "The best result is that some of the Bin people who survived after the war were controlled by Ryan and scattered and migrated away. In 20 years, only 20 years, the Bin people will become a historical term and will only be mentioned by a few scholars. "

"Sounds very sad, Robin." Belle's voice was full of helplessness and some kind of inexplicable cruelty. "Soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but they are about to be stabbed in the back. However, there is nothing they can do about this situation."

"Lord Belle, why... you suddenly said that..." Maybe because of being frightened by Belle's words, Robin stammered a bit.

"There are conflicts of interests in all aspects. In other words, when the Bin tribe was persuaded to capture Sylvania, their fate was doomed. Since then, they have been chess pieces on the chessboard, allowing the players to manipulate them at will. There is no chance to escape." Belle shrugged. "But to be honest, we are one of the masterminds of this tragedy."

There was a smile on Belair's face, but the smile sent a shudder through Robin.It was a half fox, half leopard smile, dangerous, cunning, cruel and full of viciousness, he never thought that such an expression would appear on Belle's face.

"Robin, don't you still understand? Let me ask you, why did the Bin tribe believe that the Ruien people would not surprise them from behind?"

"Because the church made a public guarantee." Robin hesitated for a while, but still answered like this.

"That's right, the reason why the church came forward was because the Ryan people made some kind of private deal with the church. But anyway, on the surface, the church will not allow its flawless reputation to be damaged, and absolutely will not allow Rui The benefactor easily betrayed the agreement. Well, it turns out that I didn't consider these factors at the beginning. I thought it would be easy to find an excuse to start a war... let alone this. In short, for the church, the most perfect result is that the Bin tribe is defeated by the vampires .They not only completed the transaction, but also successfully got rid of all the accusations. After all, the capture of Sylvania is itself dangerous. Do you understand?"

"The church...but..."

"Besides, for the Ryan people, there is no essential difference between the heavy-loss vampire and the heavy-loss Bin tribe. If you have to choose, the vampire is a more suitable opponent. This is because on the one hand, there is an excuse for war There is no problem in this respect, and the second is that vampires do not have the ability to defend the city, while the Ben tribes do. Undead legions cannot be bought, but the Ben tribes can. This subtle difference determines that they are also inclined to defeat the Ben tribe...and then absorb the remnants of the Ben tribe Strength strengthens itself."

"Oh, my lord general, why do you know this?"

"Leto told me in a letter, and he told me to leave immediately." Belle laughed. "That person is not bad, at least he didn't turn his back on him...Of course, he also has plans." Baylor replied.

"So, what do you think will happen next?"

"I don't know, but I think it is very likely that Kaidazar's stupid behavior caused internal dissatisfaction, and bought some people from the Bin tribe. Withdrew from the battlefield at the critical moment of the decisive battle... probably like this. Of course, there may be other What is possible, but I don't care about these. What I need to know is that we will not be in danger if we follow Bernando."

"What?"

"Because he is the trump card. It doesn't matter if the other priests are dead (the church has some magicians anyway), but Bernando used some kind of magic to lock the vampires. He is the key to searching for vampires after the war and eradicating them, so he must be fine." We must keep an eye on this priest, and if he runs, we must follow."

"Then the other priests...will be sacrificed? Don't the Bin people have a chance?"

"If you want to talk about opportunities, there are still opportunities. If the Bin tribe has an excellent and wise leader who can unite all forces and unite as one, defeat the vampires in a decisive battle..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the regret in his voice was clear explained his point of view.

In fact, even from Robin's point of view, Kedaza is not the one who meets Belle's requirements.

……

Eric stopped and looked back.

Getting through this path went smoother than he had expected.Due to the existence of that dragon, this area is completely no man's land.That dragon is a third-party existence that no one wants to provoke. Even in this war, the Bin tribe didn't have too much guard against this road.

A beast with wings, travels thousands of miles, and has enough wisdom.If such a guy becomes an enemy, I don't know how tricky it will be.The relevant official records clearly illustrate this point - the Ruien people have dispatched troops many times to deal with the dragon, but they still had no choice but to suffer heavy losses instead.In the end, under unavoidable circumstances, he could only compromise and acquiesced in the dragon's occupation and control of this mountainous area.

But thinking about it now, that dragon should be dead.In any case, from here on, we have entered the enemy's territory, and it can even be said to be the enemy's base.

Eric collected himself, and immediately drove away all doubts and wavering in his heart.He was a strong-willed man, but this was the first time he fought for a vampire.And he knows that his choice will determine the outcome of this war.If he chooses to betray the vampire, then the vampire's plan will be completely over.

That's strange, why do vampires value him so much?And it is the kind of unconditional value.Although relying on military exploits in Sham, he came to the position of general step by step, but his "general" is only a lieutenant general, and he does not have the power to command the army alone.And after he was relegated to Sylvania, he never expected to make a comeback.

"How's the situation?" he asked the people around him.Two of these people were black magicians.But what is strange is that the vampire did not send these two black mages to monitor him, but made them fully obey his orders in order to provide magical support in the war.

"Everything is fine, no problem." Several subordinates replied.Half of these people are mercenaries, and half are subordinates of vampires.Eric couldn't guarantee their loyalty, though.This short period of time was enough for him to familiarize himself with his troops (the vampire did not let him temporarily command, but completely handed over the army to him), but there was no way to know more.Eric wouldn't be surprised if one of them sneaked away and reported to the Bin Clan.But he also had a certain intuition that the vampires did not simply send an army of dubious loyalty to carry out such an important battle.

He threw away this kind of thought, since he has decided, don't regret it, just do it as best as he can.
