Blood Dragon

"In the fourth year of the new calendar, the [-]th day of the Sylvania War. Rain. The date of the decisive battle is finally approaching. Although the continuous vampire harassment has not stopped, it has also weakened significantly. He is probably also concentrating his strength Prepare for the final battle... The things that Lord Belair told me haunted me. Tortured the depths of my soul. I originally thought that war was just a showdown between the two sides on the battlefield, which depended on the bravery of the soldiers and the command of the generals But now it seems that everything is not that simple. I asked Lord Beler, if he is the general of the Bin tribe, what should he do now? He shook his head and told me, first, don’t be greedy, and second, don’t be stupid. I can’t understand He meant it, but I know he won't continue to explain it. Because there are some things in it that I can't understand now..."

Robin sighed and put down his pen.He used to write this war diary with great enthusiasm, wanting to record this war as a precious record for his future reference.But the facts seem to have played a joke on him, and the outcome of this war was decided before it even started.

The noise outside was so loud that he could barely continue writing, and the voice was so messy that he couldn't tell what the Bin people were talking about.In fact, even if they spoke slowly, it would be difficult for Robin to understand. He did not understand the dialect of the Bin tribe.

"Robin!" An eager voice sounded, and it was Belle who spoke.Bellel rushed into Robin's tent.

"My lord!" With just one glance, Robin could tell from Belleer's face that something important had happened. "A decisive battle ahead?" He asked instinctively.

"No. Last night, vampires captured Mir City." Belleer replied. "Bernando has left, we don't have time. Prepare your luggage immediately, throw away all unnecessary things, we must leave in five minutes."

"Mill City? But... that city... is behind us!"

"Well, the vampire detoured behind us from the path with the dragon." Belleur said simply.

Robin also knew things on that road.It has been taught enough times that the dragon is a third party to be trifled with.That dragon is a flame that can spew out molten golden iron, has wings that can travel thousands of miles, and is also a beast with infinite strength that is difficult to penetrate with a knife or spear.If all that wasn't dangerous enough, dragons also possess senses far superior to those of humans and brains as high as humans.So even in this war, no one has any idea about that road.

"I think this is the trump card that the vampires plan to use against the crusading army." Beler replied. "He probably killed the dragon long ago. Come on, I'll tell you the details later."

But Robin was already prepared.The two quickly left here and ran towards the place where the horse was hidden.Several Belair's guards were waiting for them here, each with two horses, which could support them on a fast march for a long time.

After getting on the horse, Baylor's attitude eased down.The far-sighted governor had already drawn up the escape route for himself and his entourage on the map, so at this moment, he was well-informed and not afraid.

"My lord, why can a vampire attack..."

"Because the vampire let his human servant take the lead." Before Robin could finish speaking, Belleur took the lead. "It seems that I underestimated him. I originally thought that the population of Sylvania was less than [-], and no matter how you put it together, it would not be able to raise a decent army, so the vampires would completely give up relying on human soldiers. At most, they would be used as soldiers. The defense force looked at it. But I didn't expect him to do the opposite... relying on thousands of human soldiers to launch a surprise attack."

"Of course, half of this is also due to Kaidasa. In order to strengthen the front line, he almost took out all the troops in the rear..." Baylor smiled for some reason. "However, it is also a consolation for him to be defeated by the enemy's superb strategy instead of being stabbed in the back by an ally. At least he will not die with pain and hatred before dying, and die unwillingly. "

"Then the Bin tribe..."

"The Bin Clan is finished." Belleur replied unabashedly. "However, the Ryan people's consumption plan also fell through."

"What do you mean?"

"The holy water is limited, and it is mainly provided to the frontline troops." Beler replied. "The old, weak, women and children in the rear didn't get the holy water. The vampire will kill all the Bin people and resurrect their corpses. In this way, he can immediately replenish his troops from the dead."

"But the Bin people can escape." A large number of the Bin people are scattered on the plain centered on Mir City. After the city falls, they may not be able to fight, but they should have enough opportunities to escape.

"It's useless. Plains don't mean you can escape." Belleer replied.There was a small forest in front of him. He stopped his horse and signaled a guard to check it out first.Taking advantage of this gap, he took out the map from his backpack and gestured to Robin.

"Here, here, here, here... If these five or six key points are kept, all the women and children of the Bin tribe can be trapped on this plain, and there is no escape. It is impossible for the vampire not to see it, he will definitely It was done. Probably only a handful of people escaped this massacre."

After a while, the guard returned.There was nothing suspicious in the woods, and very fresh horseshoe prints were found on the ground.This shows that within half a day, other teams passed here.

"It seems that Bernando is also going this way." Bellel came to this conclusion after thinking for a while. "It seems that guy is also very smart, and he has been ready for a long time. Let's go."

He thought very clearly that the vampires are eager to complete the siege now, and they won't have time to take care of this carefully selected remote path for the time being.

"By the way, Lord Belle, where are we going?"

"Go and meet Leto." Belleer replied. "He was waiting there. But this time, although he failed to complete the purpose of consuming the vampire...but he forced the vampire to reveal his trump card." Speaking of this, Belle was still a little surprised. "Although I have also considered this matter, it is really too difficult to kill that dragon. That dragon is famous for its good knowledge of advance and retreat and stalking. If one fails, it is tantamount to incurring a big one for yourself. Trouble. But precisely because of this, if you kill this dragon, it is equivalent to having a chance to launch a surprise attack. Think about it, in this way, it is equivalent to going around behind the enemy, surrounding them in the valley, and cutting off their Supplies and backup. To be honest, although this idea is dangerous, it is genius, and I did not expect it."

"My lord, you didn't expect that? Didn't you say that you feel a little better than him..." Robin remembered that Belleel once thought he was better than that Ashuruffat.

"There's a difference between being serious and not being serious. And if you're not in your position, you don't think about it." Baylor laughed. "Anyway, this is not our war. Just wait and see how Kedaza will deal with it. In fact, he still has a chance now."

"Chance?"

"Well, now there are only two options left for the Bin tribe, rushing forward into Sylvania, or going backward, returning to aid Mir City before the massacre. This is a difficult choice, or a cruel choice. On the surface It seems that the latter is an easier choice, but in fact the latter is a dead end, and the former has the only chance of survival. Only by abandoning those old and weak women and children who have fallen into the hands of vampires can we win in this dead end. A trace of life." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Belle's voice. "Robin, even the right choice is not so easy to make, do you know why?"

"why?"

"It's stupidity! Because the vast majority of people in this world are selfish and stupid. Only by using iron will and action to overcome ignorance can you gallop freely. It's a pity that the Bin tribe is just a loose group in essence. joint."

While Belleur led Robin forward all the way, at the camp of the Bin tribe, the leaders of the Bin tribe also got relevant news sooner or later.Before they got the news, everyone was gearing up for the final battle.No one ever thinks about the rear.

This news completely shocked everyone.

Just like what Beryl said, the Bin tribe is just a loose union, not the kind of army unified under the same will.Rather than saying that they are a unified army, it is better to say that they are a coalition army composed of various military forces.However, the emergence of such emergencies beyond the normal range, the lack of internal coordination of the coalition forces, and the weakness of unresponsiveness are fully exposed.Elder Kaidasa reacted quickly. After confirming the accuracy of the news, he immediately sent a letter to summon the leaders, but by the time they got together, a whole day of precious time had passed.

In the camp late at night, the light from the torches illuminated the leader's tent very brightly.In full contrast to the bright firelight are people's faces.Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger surfaced and changed on each face.

A full circle of seats was arranged in the chief's big tent, which was arranged according to the traditional elder meeting of the Bin tribe.At this point there are still a quarter of the seats vacant, but the meeting has already begun.

Kedaza still sat in the chair of the meeting as usual.During this period of time, both his influence and his status have been greatly improved.At least four tribes have publicly pledged allegiance to him, and rumor has it that at least two tribes have pledged their obedience privately.So far, at least one-third of the Bin tribe's strength has followed his lead.

Kedaza was still wearing a black cloak with a scarlet edge, and his three-color red and gold clothes that were as bright as flames.But his face was visibly haggard.After all, he was no longer young, and the whole day and night of busyness and mental shock made him look a bit exhausted and exhausted.The joy of victory once gave him a short period of youth and vigor, but at this moment, he has long since lost the previous style.His gray hair looked a little disheveled in the firelight.

"Has Damon not come yet?" Kaidasa asked a subordinate beside him in a low voice. "I remember telling you that he was the first to be notified."

"Sorry, but...he doesn't seem to want to come." The man replied in a low voice.There are still [-]/[-] seats vacant, which can never be explained by "not in place" and can only be understood in another way.

Kedaza showed an unobtrusive wry smile.This is the rift he created with his own hands.Looking back now, it seems that he was indeed too impatient. He should have been more secure, which would have caused less confrontation.But there is only a trace of regret.Damon's gang had no choice—in fact, all of them had no choice.

Most of the elders and great elders have come here, reaching the required number of people to hold a meeting.Even if Damon wants to do something secretly, there are no conditions and no excuses.He, Kaidasa, is the most powerful person in the Bin tribe, the true uncrowned king.

"Gentlemen," Kedazar began in a low voice, noting with satisfaction that all the noise had died away as he began. "What should we do now?"
