Blood Dragon

Belair stopped his horse.

In the distance, at the end of the field of vision, a group of people can be seen staying on the road.It was a large group of soldiers with bright armor and flying flags, and they could be recognized as regular troops at a glance.

"Lord Belair, those are the troops of the Ryans! What are they doing here?" Robin had sharp eyes and recognized the opponent's flag at a glance.

"I think...could it be...to welcome me?" Belleil smiled slightly.He gestured to a guard beside him, who immediately galloped up to meet him.Robin watched as the guards quickly approached the group, then turned and ran back.

There is no need for anything else, just seeing the movement of the guards, Baylor has a conclusion.

"It seems that I'm really welcome." Baylor laughed. "That guy Leto looks like he really knows how to behave."

This is indeed the team that welcomed Baylor, and it was Leto himself leading the team.Seeing Leto's amiable and cheerful appearance in front of Belleux, Robin felt very relieved.He still remembers the first time he met Leto. At that time, Belleur was the acting governor of Mill City, and welcomed Leto very politely. Attitude to Baylor.

Having said that, for an outstanding man like Lord Belleur, no matter who he is, he must admit his ability, and no matter who he is (at most, it will be a matter of time) put down his airs and be polite to him.Although Robin hadn't seen the heroic figure of Belleur commanding an army galloping across the battlefield, the demeanor he had seen of strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles had surpassed any person he knew.

In this short period of one or two years, Robin has learned far more than everything he has learned in ten years in the Noble Academy.

"So, everything has been resolved?" Baylor asked.

"Of course, the magicians have already reported back what happened on the battlefield. Everything was as expected by General Beler. Damon, the great elder of the Bin tribe, defected, which directly led to the annihilation of the entire army of the Bin tribe." Lai To replied.He laughed heartily. "It seems that the preparatory measures I prepared before have not worked at all. It is really a waste of work."

"What about Kedaza? I still miss that guy, stupid and greedy, not many people can combine these two advantages."

"Haha, Your Excellency the General may be disappointed. According to the news, that guy seems to have been captured in the end, and when he begged the vampire for mercy, the vampire tore his throat open and drank blood."

Leto was very happy, and his joy was beyond words.Not only him, but also the followers and officials around him.This is a very important victory for the Ryan people.Without a single soldier, they completely wiped out their long-standing confidantes.If they had known this earlier, they would have begged on their knees to deliver Sylvania to the vampires, even if they added something else instead.

"Your Excellency," suggested a nobleman following Leto, "we'd better go. His Excellency the Duke has already prepared a good meal for you in his castle, to welcome you, and to congratulate you on your great success. It solved the big trouble of the Bin Clan."

The host and guest walked sideways amidst laughter and jokes about the stupidity of the Bin tribe, while advancing towards the castle in the distance.

This banquet is really too rich.Although Robin was not qualified to be at the main table, he still enjoyed a very rich meal in the seat next to the servants.Stuffing his belly full with gravy, sausage, fish, and bird pies, he leaned against the railing and watched the clowns, bards, and dancers perform wonderfully.

The most exciting show of the audience was a dwarf's acrobatics.This dwarf, half as tall as Robin, actually stepped on an empty bucket rolling around, while throwing fifteen oranges in his hand without falling to the ground.This wonderful performance won endless applause and generous rewards from the nobles on the field.

The last program of this banquet was a dancer wearing a light veil dancing gracefully to the music.The dancer's movements are not fast, and her dancing posture is not difficult. It stands to reason that it is far worse than that of a dwarf.But there was an attraction about her that Robin couldn't explain clearly and couldn't contain.Looking at the woman's figure in a light veil and her provocative and exaggerated movements, he couldn't help blushing and beating heartbeat.Robin obviously lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it, but he couldn't help but keep sneaking a few glances.

Banquets and carnivals lasted until dark.After a whole day of carousing, Robin was already very tired, but when he was lying in his room, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't fall asleep.He tossed and turned, and there were several scenes in his mind, either the words that Belle had said to him, or the time in the military camp, and the graceful dancer today.

Robin got up.This is a method he learned a long time ago. If he can't sleep because of something on his mind, he just goes for a short walk.For a long time, this has been his magic weapon for all kinds of tests.

Belleel didn't live next door to him, but in some distant room that Robin didn't know about.The reason for saying this is because Robin is visiting this castle for the first time and is very unfamiliar with it.And Leto—whether on purpose or not—had placed his and Bellel's rooms far apart.

Because he didn't have a clear goal, he strolled along the aisle casually.Robin remembered very clearly that at the end of this road was the courtyard.This castle is not a military fortress, but a livable castle that shows off the owner's wealth and taste, so the courtyard is a large garden.When passing by during the day, he actually saw several rare local flower species.

"What about the vampires?" A voice suddenly leaked from a side room.The word "vampire" immediately caught Robin's attention, and he couldn't help looking towards the room, just in time to see a ray of light leaking from the crack in the door.

It was too late at this time.Because of the carnival and banquet during the day, the host and guest in the castle were very tired.Except for the odd numbers like Robin who couldn't sleep, there should only be a few sentinels on duty who are still awake.It should be.But the light from the crack of the door and the voices just now indicated that the people inside were not insomnia, but had something to discuss.

It's so late, what are we talking about?Robin stood on tiptoe curiously, walked over cautiously, and leaned against the door to listen.At this time, the surroundings were completely silent, although the voices of the people talking were not loud, but Robin at the door could hear them clearly.

"...The details are unknown. But according to the news brought by our eyeliner, it is obvious that there has been a considerable loss, and the losses are all elite troops, not those useless zombies."

"It's reasonable...but he didn't kill the Bin people to replenish his troops...Is there any special reason for this?"

The speaker's voice was very familiar, and in the next second Robin remembered who the speaker was - it was Leto, the owner of the castle, the prince and duke of Ryan Kingdom.And judging from the sound of breathing and other small noises, there are not just one or two people in the room, but a meeting with quite a few people.

"... Judging from his treatment of the Bin tribe afterwards, this may be his means of buying people's hearts... According to the intelligence of our spies, Damon and his few allies have indeed preserved their own tribe. They will serve as vampires His subjects and subordinates migrated to the land reserved by vampires."

"I thought the vampires would take this opportunity to kill the Bin tribe." Leto seemed to say something casually.

"My lord, you are mistaken about this point. The vampire is not that crazy and unreasonable, and the defenders who surrendered to him before survived. Those mercenaries were even hired by him instead." Someone replied.

"It seems...things are not going well...that vampire is cunning and powerful enough..." Leto's tone and content were completely opposite.His words seemed to have scruples about vampires, but his tone was full of arrogance and contempt for vampires.

"However, if you can defeat the vampires and regain Sylvania, then you will become a well-known hero throughout the country. At that time, about you... the two young dukes will inherit your different titles and territories respectively. I am afraid that no one will be able to raise objections.”

By the way, Lord Belair said, is Leto the king's cousin or cousin?There is already a certain distance from the royal family in terms of blood, and his descendants should not be able to get the title of "Prince".It should be known that the title "Prince" actually represents the right of inheritance.When the king has no direct descendants to inherit the throne, the "prince" is the heir to the throne.Robin thought.It sounds like Leto is very ambitious. He hopes to let one son inherit the title of "Prince" on the one hand, and let the other son inherit the title of Duke on the other hand.

"Actually, if we just stop like this..." Someone suggested. "Sweeping the Bin tribe at a small price has solved the confidant's troubles of our country. Your contribution is already great, and it is enough to leave your name in history."

"Nonsense, victory is at your fingertips ahead, just like the fruit hanging from the branches on the roadside, how can you stop at this time? Now the strategy of driving away tigers and wolves has been a great success, the Bin clan has perished, and the undead army of vampires has also been severely damaged Strike. On the contrary, our army has been recharging its energy. This is a great fighter opportunity that is hard to find in a thousand years..." Someone encouraged him with a lot of effort.

"I'm worried that His Majesty the King may not let the Duke be the commander of this battle." Another voice said. "I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long run."

Others spoke one after another, but Robin didn't continue to listen. He now estimated that he was in a position such as the side door or the back door of a conference room in the castle.They were holding a secret meeting, but he was lying here and eavesdropping.It would be bad if someone found out.Although it won't cause any diplomatic turmoil, it will definitely make Lord Belleel unable to step down.

Robin tiptoed away from the door.Only now did he discover that this conference room actually had more than one side door, and there was another door in front. From this, he deduced that there were also one or two doors on the other side of the room.

He unintentionally took a few steps towards the corner, but there was no door there, but a big window... Wait!what is that?Robin clearly saw a black figure lying by the window.

Robin rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he recognized the identity of the black figure lying on the window eavesdropping - although the light was dim, the familiarity accumulated over the years of contact immediately told him the truth.It was Baylor who was eavesdropping there.

Why is Lord Belleel here?Robin didn't have time to think more, and immediately walked towards Belleur.

His movements were too fast, and he didn't try to hide it, so even though Belleel was eavesdropping, he immediately noticed him.

"Robin?!" Belle exclaimed in a low voice.

"My lord, what are you doing here?"

"I, I came out in a hurry to find the toilet!" Belle took a few steps back, away from the window, and retreated to a safe position. "Passing by here... that's all. What's up, Robin, is there a problem?"

Sometimes Robin couldn't figure out whether Belleel was open-minded or shameless.
