After listening to Robin's words, Bayrell smiled.

"Robin, who do you think will win this war?" Béral asked Robin with his hands crossed and his elbows resting on the table, with a very solemn expression.

"This ......," Robin pondered, "I remember your lord saying that the fort advance tactics are guaranteed to win in this kind of terrain. ”

"Yes, in theory, it does. Profit from the march, not conducive to retreat, repeated attrition. As I said, even if I were to be in command of the army at this moment, I would not change this tactic. This is the most advantageous, the most reasonable, and the best odds of winning...... It can even be called a tactic that almost never fails. ”

"Then the Hama will win against the vampires...... Of course, they will also pay a lot of losses in the tug-of-war. At this time, the Ryan people will ......" He didn't say the last half of his sentence. As it should be, Robin felt that he had completely read Beller's overall idea. He couldn't help but look back, but it was empty outside.

Bayral looked at Robin with a slightly approving look. "Robin, do you still know the first article in the book of soldiers? It should be said that at the moment, although you have achieved 'confidant', you have not been able to 'know the other'. It should be said that you have improved compared to the past, but it is not enough. ”

"Your Excellency, what do you mean......"

"If there was a gamble now on the war between the Hama and the Vampires, then I would bet on the Scarlet Duke Essrufat to win. Bayral smiled calmly.

"For what?" Robin was stunned for a moment, unable to understand. "As you just said, this kind of fortress advance tactic is an almost undefeated tactic......"

"That's true. If I had changed my position at this moment, for example, if I had been the Scarlet Duke Essroufat, and I would have commanded the undead legions, I would not have been able to crack the fortress advance tactics. Bayrell said. "The disadvantages of vampires are too obvious. If I were a vampire, I would have done whatever it took to take Mill City first. After the defeat of Mill City, I had a bridgehead to attack outward. Then, I will choose to form an alliance with the Hama. As long as the two sides cooperate to some extent, they can have the ability to compete head-on with the Ryans. At this point, we can attack and retreat, and as long as we can win a battle, we can force the Ryan people to give up their efforts to destroy me. If the conditions are right, you can even cooperate with the Hama clan and dismember Ryan. Of course, all this did not happen, and the vampires did not attack the city of Mill, but were content to occupy Sivania...... This is the most unfavorable state. ”

Robin listened to Bayrell's description of the strategic ambition and couldn't help but gasp. If the vampire had done this, it would not have been Beller's turn to "drive the tiger and devour the wolf" plan. It's much more likely that the Hama and the vampires will form an alliance against Ryan. The interests of both sides are even more tangible.

"But," he said aggravated. "Even so, I still believe that the Scarlet Duke can win this war. ”

"For what?" asked Robin. Could it be that because he was a disciple of Thomas, he learned the way of strategizing from Thomas? Of course, this is not very certain. To this day, they could not be sure if the Scarlet Duke Ashrufat was the same traveler he had met in the city of Mill.

"Because the Scarlet Duke has been prepared. Bayral replied. "The vampire has been lurking in West Vania for years, so well planned and prepared, do you think he would think that after he took West Vania, the Ryan would not react? Not to mention a vampire who has lived for an unknown number of years, even a roadside idiot knows that the Ryan people will inevitably send a large army to retake Sivania. It was easy to capture Sivania, and with the undead legions that were suddenly summoned, there was a high probability of success when the local lords were defenseless. But it will be difficult to hold Sivania, because he will have to defeat the army of the Ryans. In other words, the Scarlet Duke was quite confident in himself, and after he was sure that he could defeat the Ryan army, he chose to raise troops to occupy this land. ”

Robin nodded. Bayral's reasoning logic is rigorous and impeccable.

"In addition, the choice of timing is also interesting. It stands to reason that he should wait a little longer, and wait until the Hama and Ryan people are in full swing and their forces are greatly constrained before making a move. Anyway, vampires are immortal, and they don't care about waiting a few more years. But he didn't do that, which shows that his battle plan against Ryan's army, which has a great chance of winning, was based on a situation that did not rely on external forces at all. ”

"Ah......h

Of course, he was too confident. If it were me, even if I was 99% sure, I wouldn't mind pushing back the clock for a few more years. When the Hama and the Ryan go to war, then I'll be 100% sure. Beller said as if self-deprecating.

"So, Robin, you get the idea. This is why I must promote this 'drive the tiger and devour the wolf' plan. "On the surface, everyone thought it was a lose-lose plan for both the Hambin and the vampires. Actually, my intention was just for the Hama to test the true trump card of the vampires. It's almost the meaning of "going to the trap". ”

"However, I believe that my plan to drive away the tiger and the wolf must have exceeded the vampire's expectations. The vampire plan is up against an army of Ryans. But I didn't expect the Ryan people to come, but the Bin people did. Of course, for the vampire, the difference between the two is not very big, but he must come up with the trump card that he originally intended to deal with the Ryan to deal with the Bind. ”

Bayor put down his hand, picked up the piece of paper he had just calculated, and read it in a very low voice. He seemed pleased with the calculations, so he put down the paper and looked at Robin again.

"Now I understand why I'm working so hard. For me, this war is a drill, a war game, and I want to take a good look at what this vampire is capable of. By the way, Robin, if you want to become a general, there is a good opportunity in front of you. I'll give you a suggestion, write a diary. Write down the main points of the war every day, as well as what you have seen, heard, and felt. When it's all over, you'll be able to brush up, and it's a rare opportunity to fully experience war from head to toe. I'm going to the construction site, if you're tired, you can rest early. ”

Bayral left. Now Robin is the only one in the tent. The boy saw the paper and pen on the table, no, not only white paper, but even some blank notebooks, perfect for writing a diary.

He sat down where Bayrell had been sitting and picked up his pen. It was his first time writing a diary, so he felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. By the way, the general said, write down the main points of the war.

"The first day of the Sivanian War. Clear. Today, the war officially began. Our vanguard, the troops commanded by the Grand Elder Kedasa, successfully broke through an undead army that stood in its way. But it's a pity that the necromancer who controls the undead legion was not caught. He must have fled at the very beginning of the battle. The battle was simple, with the vast majority of the undead being wiped out under cannons and muskets. Our casualties were very small. After the war, General Bayrell worked hard to help them build their barracks. The vampires did not launch night raids and counterattacks. ”

......

"The seventh day of the Sivanian War. Yin. Some people thought that the change in weather was caused by the magic of the vampire and his minions, but the priests believed that it was just a normal weather change. The advance of our army reached the second predetermined camp site, where there were no undead legions. The soldiers immediately began the work. Because there was already a ready-made example, General Berel stayed in the rear and did not go to the front line to guide them in the construction of the project. No trace of the undead was found......"

"The eighteenth day of the Sivanian War. Clear. No trace of the Undead Legion was found. Construction of a new camp began ......"

"The thirty-eighth day of the Sivanian War. Clear. No trace of the Undead Legion was found. Construction of a new camp began. General Bayral said that a total of sixteen barracks were to be built. We have already started to build the sixth stronghold without any resistance. I've heard whispers that the vampires have long since given up here. There's no point in dragging time here......"

"The fifty-fourth day of the Sivanian War. Clear. Word came from the front that the Undead Legion was finally launching a wave of counterattacks, trying to attack Camp Seven, which we had built halfway through. But this wave of attacks was easily defeated. The remaining undead retreated, but we did not pursue. Casualties were tolerated, and we were reported to have lost hundreds. The absence of artillery and no magicians in the first line of troops was the biggest mistake. If there were both, it is estimated that there would be no more than ten casualties in this battle. The combat effectiveness of the Undead Legion is very low. It is said that one of the infantry on the front line was so frightened that it fled when the zombies approached. This normal situation resulted in the total destruction of the team, but only two deaths. The cause of death of these two unlucky eggs was that they were caught up and devoured by zombies because they fell to the ground. In other words, even if they had fled, they would have been spared any losses. At today's military meeting, General Bayral stressed the need not to be reckless, but I don't see much effect. Many of the elders and elders of the Bin tribe are looking forward to entering West Vania as soon as possible. There was news from the rear that there had been some minor contradictions between the Bins and the Ryan people, and at the same time, the consumption of food reserves was greater than expected......"

"Sixty-sixth day of the Sivanian War. Yin. What Lord Beleur feared had finally happened. A Grand Elder of the Bin Clan named Paine led the troops all the way in. The position between the fourteenth and fifteenth camps was attacked by an army of vampires and almost completely wiped out. According to those who escaped, there were a large number of dark magicians on the other side. Fueled by dark magic, the undead are tireless, thrashing and attacking at an unnaturally fast pace. At the same time, the dark magic also gives these undead a new speed and ferocity in their attacks. However, these were only part of the story, and the real cause of the rout was the dire wolves, which easily passed through the impassable mountains on either side and attacked Paine's forces from the rear. It was this kind of front and back flanking that destroyed the resistance of the Bin. Many people died fighting these wolves that crawled out of hell because these terrible creatures have an amazing ability to take damage, even if they take fatal damage. This is true even after chopping them to pieces. The survivor recounted the horrific scene, and the shredded pieces of the dire wolf spasmed for a long time, knowing that normal animals were too dead to die. ”

"In this battle, the church magicians who accompanied the army did not play a role. The corpse truck was seen carrying a brazier that was burning and emitting black smoke. It is believed that the Dimension Stones were burned from these braziers, and the smoke contained particles of the Dimension Stones, which had an effect on the winds of magic and rendered the magicians incapable of casting spells. The only thing to be thankful for is that all of them drank holy water before the war. Vampires can't use their corpses to fight our army...... Lord Beller was a little happy, because he thought that these dire wolves' ability to adapt to various terrains was a vampire's trump card, or one of the trump cards...... It seems that there is a certain shortage of supplies in the army, and many people are complaining. But at least there is no such thing in the tribe of Kedasa, and Lord Belle and I are well fed......"
