Blood Dragon

"Everyone, what should we do now?"

Damon broke everyone's silence and took the initiative to ask everyone for their opinions.

They are now in a clearing full of rocks.Including Damon, everyone randomly found a stone and sat down.There are no torches or lamps here either, only the cold moonlight shining on everyone's armor.It is the end of winter and early spring at this time, and the cold wind at night is even worse than that of winter, blowing on people with damp and cold, but no one cares about the cold, because compared with the severe cold inside the human heart, the outside The chill was hardly worth mentioning.

There was a decisive turning point in the battle situation. The vampires had captured Mir City, which was equivalent to completely surrounding the Bin Clan from front to back.But to make matters worse, all the non-combatants left behind by the various tribes also fell into the hands of the vampires.

Now they already know the whole process of the matter, in fact, this process can be easily deduced.The vampires backed down and waited patiently until almost all of their army entered the valley, and then the surprise soldiers emerged from another road, led by a group of human servants and mercenaries who only recognized money but not human beings. The force suddenly captured the weakly defended Mir City.Not only seized the supplies accumulated by the Bin tribe, but also completely controlled the non-combatants of the Bin tribe.

If anyone is responsible for this incident, it can only be Kedaza.He has enough spies, but he mainly uses them to spy on other people of the same clan, lest they go back and occupy Mill City.His camp was the closest to Mir City, but there were only a few troops left there, making it impossible to rush to help the city when it was attacked.His slow and stupid reflexes, his ridiculous plans, had led to this result.

Damon tried his best to fight back today. Even if he couldn't take back Mill City, he would take back some non-combatants.But unfortunately, his attempt was met with a head-on blow by the black magic.Waves of phantom wind screamed and rushed, piercing the soldiers' bodies and tearing their souls apart.Countless people died under the black magic.Without magical support, it is too difficult to rely on the bravery of the soldiers themselves to defeat the vampires.And all the magicians sent by the church were taken away by Kaidasa with various reasons, and Damon didn't have any on hand.Even in such an extremely critical situation, Kaidasa refused to give even a little of the resources at hand to others.

After a fierce battle, Damon could only retreat.Fortunately, the enemy did not pursue - indeed they are not in a hurry to pursue.All of this is Kedaza's fault, but this unfortunate result has to be borne by everyone.

A man in a fiery red robe came over.Damon met his eyes, and the newcomer gestured with two fingers for everyone to see.

"2000 people?" Damon pulled out an unknown weed from the cracks under his feet, and chewed it vigorously in his mouth.The bitter taste from the stems of the weed filled his mouth. "Did 2000 people die? Did so many people die without even being able to break through the vampire's outer defense?"

"We moved too slowly. The vampires had almost a day and a night to consolidate their defenses. After our rapid march, the soldiers were very tired. The vampires had a leisurely time to prepare to attack us."

"It's not that the movement is too slow, it's that the distance is too far. And we don't have enough troops..." Someone interrupted.Damon acted immediately after confirming the news, and the speed alone was indeed very fast.But in any case, he was too far away from Mir City, with too few troops, and without any magical support, let alone being blocked by Kedasa along the way.It was Kaidasa who was really capable of rescuing, but he missed the opportunity and couldn't make a correct judgment. Instead, he held some elders meeting there slowly to decide the next step.

That damned bastard!

"We are just going to die like this." Someone said.There was a trace of despair in his voice, without magical support, there was really no way to deal with those damned black magic.

He didn't speak, but everyone knew what the following meant.

"We have no choice but to go back and join Kaidasa." Someone whispered.

"Then what about our family? My family... the family of all of us!" The Bin people did not simply go out as an army, but migrated as a whole.Now these people are in the hands of vampires - maybe not in the hands of vampires just yet.But the vampires had taken full control of their means of escape, and had caged them upon the plain.Next, everyone knew what was going to happen.It is impossible for so many people to have a hiding place. Vampires will never show any mercy to human beings. All those old, weak, women and children who have no fighting ability will be killed, and then resurrected to join the undead army. Under the control of black magic Turn their heads and fight their loved ones.

Kedaza's performance is very clear, he is either intentional, or lacks decisive action.In short, it is impossible to count on him for the time being.

"There is another way." Damon spit out the chewed weed residue in his mouth.His words were sudden, but they immediately attracted everyone's attention.In this situation where everyone was at a loss, everyone looked at him with a begging expression, expecting to spit out the last hope from his mouth.

"The last resort." A fierce light suddenly flashed in Damon's eyes.

……

"My lord!" Robin rode his horse to catch up with Bellel in front.They can now be sure that they have left the danger zone, so the speed of everyone's journey has slowed down significantly.

"What's the matter, Robin?" Baylor seemed in a good mood.He had already seen a small-scale sentry tower appearing in front of him, obviously manned by human soldiers.It's just right there to inquire about the situation and take a rest by the way.

"I thought about it carefully, but I think...even if the Bin tribe turns back to Mill City, their chances of winning are very high, at least [-]/[-]. Because the undead army of vampires is not suitable for defending the city. On the contrary, If they invade Sylvania, then there is really no hope. The vampires must be strong and clear, and the Bin tribe's food is only a few days..."

"Robin." For some reason, the expression on Belle's face seemed to be smiling. "On the surface, your idea seems to be good. Just like all bad ideas seem to be quite reasonable until they are proved to be bad ideas. Let me make an analogy, there is a hole in the boat and water has entered, so I drill a hole and Make a new hole of the same size as the hole just now, so that the water that entered the first hole will flow out of the second hole. Do you think my idea is good?"

Robin didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If this hole is drilled, it is a way of death." Belleer replied.He had lost interest in the subject and was concentrating on other things.For example, the shape of the sentry tower in the distance, the flag hanging on the tower, and other details.

……

"So, Damon suffered a moderate defeat?" Kaidasa asked the subordinate who came to report the details.

"That's right, the losses were huge, and they were forced to retreat without gaining anything."

Caedasa smiled.In any case, I am the only person in the Bin Clan who holds the overall situation, and it is true in any case.Damon had no choice either, it would be foolish to take the initiative to attack a well-placed vampire without magical support.He was a little thankful that he used various means to finally control all the priests of the church.Even if Damon was soft and hard on him before, he never regressed.

Although the decisive battle is coming, such a small defeat is good, at least Damon can see the reality clearly, let him know who has the most power in the Bin clan, and who should listen to whom.And those small and medium tribal leaders who followed Damon.This defeat will let them know which leader is right to follow.

He suddenly thought of someone else.It would be great if that Baylor was here. With his vision and ingenuity, he might be able to put forward a very constructive view on the battle situation.It's a pity that that guy is slipperier than a loach, and he turned around and ran away when he saw something was wrong.It's no wonder that that guy wasn't from the Bin tribe in the first place.Sure enough, outsiders are not trustworthy.

What to do next has been decided at the meeting.It's still the same old way, courtesy first and soldiers later.Sue the vampire for peace first, and then do it if the peace cannot be reached.Kaidasa thought very clearly, although on the surface, the vampires surrounded all the old and weak women and children of the Bin tribe on the plain near Mill City by stationing several key points, just like a bird in a cage.But in fact, these people are not really within his control.Even if the vampire wants to kill, he still needs enough time or enough troops to do it.

In particular, most of the tribes of the Kedaza faction are far away from Mir City.But Damon's faction is closer to Mill City.So in a short time, Kaidasa doesn't have to worry about his family.The vampire will kill these people to replenish the undead army. He obviously won't pick and choose, and he must start from the nearest.In five days, he estimated, five days would be enough for the vampires to kill all the Damona faction.

There must be a decisive battle with the vampire within five days, and things will be difficult to say if it is postponed.But within five days, he needn't be too anxious.He suddenly felt a little regretful.If Damon wasn't so stupid, always against him everywhere, always refused to give in to him, maybe he wouldn't have to wait for five days.In this way, when he becomes king in the future, he will have more subjects...

No, it's still early.He pushed that beautiful dream out of his mind.The vampire must be defeated.Although he said that he had a certain chance of winning this decisive battle - the undead army was far easier to deal with than expected - but it was not a sure victory.

"My lord?" The subordinate stayed for a long time, but saw Kedasa kept silent, so he couldn't help reminding.

"Oh, nothing." He replied immediately. "How about the messenger?"

"Already set off, my lord. But... everyone is talking... Our soldiers are all restless. Everyone is worried about the safety of their loved ones. They are even more afraid that the vampire will kill them and drive their corpses onto the battlefield."

"It's okay." Kaidasa waved his hand. "Tell the soldiers that even if the vampires want to kill, the first ones will not be ours." Damon hasn't come yet, and so are the leaders who followed him.But it doesn't matter.Kaidasa knew very well that the following news was nothing more than two kinds, either Damon was planning to attack the vampire again - of course it was a futile struggle - or he was sending an envoy to swear allegiance to him, so as to urge him to attack the vampire as soon as possible. Send troops back to aid Mill City.
