Blood Dragon

It's too late.

At this moment, the surroundings are all quiet, except for the occasional hooting of owls, which shows that this dark world is not lacking in vitality.

Riding at high speed for several days in a row, everyone was exhausted.Across the aisle, one can clearly hear the snoring one after another.This outpost is quite large, and it is easy to accommodate the few people in their group.Even more fortunately, the commander here knew Belair.In fact, the venerable officer was an admirer of Belleur.The officer was flattered by the sudden appearance of the idol in his heart, so the group received good hospitality here without any effort, and Baylor and Robin even received extremely generous treatment-the commander put himself in The living room in the sentry tower is freed up for the distinguished guests to rest, and they would rather let themselves sleep in the tent.

Robin was lying on the bed, tossing and turning but unable to sleep.His body was very tired, but the huge doubts churning in his brain were suspended there, bothering him and blocking the Sandman's attack.

He has used all the knowledge and experience he has learned—be it before or after being Belle's attendant—to carefully analyze and judge the situation.But he still felt that if the final decisive battle took place, the Ben tribe's chances of winning were much better than the vampires.

"Master Belle?" Robin said softly.

"Robin, you haven't slept yet?" Baylor's voice was not a dreamy whisper, but a very sober answer.Robin subconsciously understood that Belle couldn't sleep either.

"Are you the same as me?"

"I'm getting old. It's normal for people my age to not be able to sleep. You're a child... What, what are you thinking?"

"Master Beler, I've been thinking about what you told me during the day. But I still haven't figured it out, why do you think that the vampires must win and the Bin tribe must lose? I have calculated repeatedly according to the deduction method you taught me No matter how you look at it, the Bin Clan has a better chance of winning..."

"Ha...haha...what, so you're thinking about this stupid question." Belleur let out a burst of laughter. "Robin, you are making serious calculations."

"I did something wrong?" Baylor's tone made Robin suddenly realize something.

"Well, Robin, why are you obsessed with this matter?"

"Master Belle, I have been unable to figure out this matter. You said that I am not suitable to be a general. I think this is what I lack. So no matter what, I want to understand your thinking."

"This matter has nothing to do with whether you are suitable to be a general." Belle's answer was unexpected, "The reason why I say you are not suitable to be a general is not because of your ability, but because of your heart. Your courage and your will. In my opinion, Robin, ability is not a decisive factor. Because human beings are in extreme emotions, under the fear, anxiety and panic brought about by strong external pressure. It is very easy to make mistakes that are almost impossible for him to make normally. On the battlefield, it is not so much a competition of 'who is better', but a competition of 'who makes fewer mistakes'. For example, if you Let you command an army to fight against a strong enemy on the battlefield, I can guarantee that you will make a lot of mistakes that will be incredible in retrospect. If you want to become a general, you need to exercise again and again, try again and again, and fail again and again In summary, in the end, when your will is no longer shaken by external pressure, you can have the basis to become a general. But your question today has nothing to do with this matter. I will answer your question. Put your hand on your eyes."

Belleer's last sentence was a bit abrupt, but Robin complied.He put his hands over his eyes.The room was already dark, with only a little moonlight falling through the windows, so Robin really couldn't see anything.

"What you see is only your hand right? No matter how you look, you can't see other things, you can't see the ceiling, you can't see the window sill, you can't see the furniture, you can't see other people. In short, no matter No matter how you try, you can only see your hands. However, the ceiling, furniture and other things I mentioned just now exist objectively and will not disappear just because you can’t see them.”

"My lord...what do you mean..." Robin vaguely sensed something, but couldn't say it for a while.

"That's the reason. You stubbornly think that vampires must fight when the Bin clan attacks. But this premise is not true. For example, if I am a vampire, then I have too many methods now. My first method is to burn all the food and Supplies, killing as many people as possible to replenish my army. Do you think this is good? I can even retreat the same way and do nothing, and the Bin tribe will be in great trouble."

"If I have confidence in my mobility, then I will play hide-and-seek with the Bin tribe around Mill City. The Bin tribe can't win a decisive victory in the fight, and they don't have food and supplies to support them. They will die immediately because of hunger and fear. Crash and disintegrate. If I don't have confidence in my maneuvering, then I will send a small number of undead legions to attack suicidally, and use a series of small battles to slow down the opponent's footsteps. These are some very rough ideas of mine, but you You'll understand what's going on right now."

"But according to the news we got today, the vampire didn't do that. He's relying on Mill City as his base, and he's planning to have a battle with the Bin clan!"

"So this is the worst possible situation. Why would a vampire who has such a huge advantage choose such a stupid action? Either he has a brain twitch, or he has other plans. I guess, the vampire has already used his own He lured some of the tribes of the Bin tribe to surrender by means of coercion and bribery. Then he will make these tribes defect in the decisive battle. Hehe, if this happens, even if Kaidasa is the god of war, His hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he can only end in defeat..."

"Then my lord... shouldn't we inform Kaidaza immediately?"

"Ha... Robin, have you forgotten? The Bin tribe was originally Ryan's enemy, and we are Ryan's allies. Now it's enemies fighting each other. We are happy to see this happen. Don't even think about it. So much, sleep well."

Robin turned his head and looked thoughtfully at the ray of moonlight cast through the window.The current moonlight looks extraordinarily cold and cruel.

However, this was his last thought.His exhaustion has accumulated to an unprecedented height.Before he knew it, the Sandman had taken over his mind.

But in another place far away from him, Damon has no chance to sleep.

He and his allies, seven in all, gathered at the edge of their camp.In order to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, they deliberately chose an empty space, and the nearest guard stayed twenty paces away.Everyone was silent.Now, they all know the request made by the vampire, which in a sense has exceeded the scope of what they can accept now.

Suddenly leading the army to defect on the battlefield... Anyone with a little brain knows what kind of consequences such actions will cause.If the Bin tribe originally had a [-]% chance of winning, then once Damon and the others did what the vampire asked, the Bin tribe's chance of winning would be infinitely close to zero.

Although Damon originally planned to surrender to the vampire-this is because he has met the vampire and knows that the other party is not an unreasonable monster.Moreover, vampires have always regarded themselves as nobles, and will not do some indecent things (such as killing Damon when he comes to surrender and surrender).If you succumb in time, you may be able to exchange for the safety of the elderly, weak, women and children.

But surrender is one thing, and open defection on the battlefield is quite another.Damon held a letter in his hand, which was written to him by Kedaza, asking him to form the right wing in the decisive battle. "There is not much time left, we have to make a decision!" Someone finally broke the silence.

"If we do this..." The person opposite Damon took a sharp breath, "Our people will never forgive us. No, our soldiers will not listen to us..."

"But in my opinion, things need to be analyzed in detail. Do we have a chance of winning? If we have a chance of winning, then it is not advisable to defect. This is tantamount to harming our family! But if we lose at the beginning, then this This approach is nothing, after all, some people can survive..."

"If there is a battle, we have a chance of winning..." Damon shook his head. "I know it's difficult to make this decision. If we join forces with Kaidazar, we have at least half the chance of defeating the vampires. If we turn around before the battle, then..."

"The vampires haven't killed our people yet." Someone suddenly became excited.Whatever the motive, the vampire did not do the most frightening thing. "If we can defeat the vampires, then we can also rescue them smoothly."

"Do you think this is the kindness of the vampire? No, it's because he has seen through the essence of the matter." Damon interrupted the other party coldly. "Even if he immediately returns our family members... that bastard Kedaza! If he sends all the spies who watched us to other key locations to scout the enemy, then the vampires won't succeed at all!"

He cursed, but a voice interrupted the discussion of the small meeting.There was a lot of noise coming from the barracks.That sound came from a group of soldiers, and it was obvious that a serious commotion had taken place.

"A vampire is calling?"

"Impossible...we have sent so many spies, it is impossible for vampires to come here...the soldiers have rioted." Almost all the troops of the Bin tribe were selected by the same tribe, so the internal relationship between the army is relatively close, similar to this kind of large Scale sao seldom happen.

But before they could take any action, a guard hurried over.

"What happened?" Damon asked straight away.

"My lord, the soldiers are in a commotion." The guard replied out of breath. "Because the person who asked for food from Elder Kaidasa has returned, he refused to provide us with food, saying that they themselves have no food left."

"We just want our own food back! Those left in the camp when we left!" Someone asked in disbelief.Although the main supplies fell into the hands of the vampires along with the non-combatants, each camp had several days' reserves.However, in order to speed up the march (in order to rescue the civilians when the vampires were not stable), Damon marched lightly, and the soldiers only brought three days of food.The rest remained in their original camp—but they couldn't find them when they returned.There is no doubt that Qedasa's men took the food while they were gone.
