"It's a pretty good opportunity. Ylan replied. "But it's not the best, it's the same as I expected. Although the Scarlet Duke temporarily captured Sivania, he was not sure if he could defeat the Ryans. And the ambiguity of Ryan's recent inaction only increased the pressure on him. At the moment, he is in a state of extreme anxiety and helplessness, which is easily shaken and compromised. That's the result of the data I've collected. ”

But your persuasion was still unsuccessful...... Is it because of the lack of feminine charm after all?" was a bit of banter in Phantom's words.

"!" Ilan replied angrily. "It's because the pressure isn't high enough. He still has a little confidence in himself, just as people still have the slightest luck in the face of disaster and refuse to give up their possessions and run away. Other than that, his instincts were sharp, and he might have sniffed out something that I had inadvertently revealed. And this time, he chose to trust his instincts. ”

"Still," Elan continued. "When the situation develops, his luck psychology should be gradually dispelled. When the war is going on, when the situation is getting more and more unfavorable, no matter how confident a person is, he will gradually become desperate and miserable, and at that time, when he is in complete despair, I can negotiate with him again. ”

"Oh, aren't you afraid he'll die on the battlefield? ”

"That would be a good result, at least we didn't have to pay a lot of money. ”

"So what's next?"

"According to the original plan. Ylan waved his hand. "I will ask the church to vouch for the invasion of West Vania by the Bines. In addition to this, it is necessary to organize the nations to provide a little help...... There is no doubt that this war will greatly weaken the vampires. The committee only needs to make a batch of 'holy water', which should have little impact on our design planning. ”

"Oh, do you think he can win this battle? The strength of the Bin clan is quite strong, you must know that the Dao Ryan people tried to deal with them three times and twice, but in the end, they suffered huge losses and gained very little. Although there are advantages in geographical conditions, it is more about the combat power of the Binzu people, which is really good. If there is any shortcoming in them, it is that they are not united enough. However, in the face of strong external pressure, this disadvantage generally does not cause trouble. ”

"In terms of purely military strength, the Bins certainly have an advantage. But the Scarlet Duke was able to capture Sivania and should be prepared for future wars. I think he must have had some plans in mind for dealing with the crusaders, and some cards that had been hidden to this day. But even if he can defeat the Bin, after the battle with the Bin, he can see clearly what hole cards he has. When the time comes, if Ryan's main force attacks again, he shouldn't have any tricks to play. ”

"Is there anything else to gain?" asked the Phantom again.

"Yes, that's in terms of details, everything validates our guesses. Qin Xin's mind is really easy to ponder, and it was seen through all of a sudden. Yilan said lazily. "The energy is complete, I'm going to start teleporting. ”

"Oh. The apparition vanished, as suddenly as he appeared.

......

"Thank you, master. Carrie whispered again.

"No, I know I'm a vampire, but I can't forget that I was once a human. Ashrufat sat on the couch, unable to believe how calm he was. "I can't forgive what I saw at the excavation site, they play with humans so much, and yet they claim to be the god of mankind?

"Anyway, thank you...... Carrie showed him a vision that no one else could see. "I'm sorry, master, I'm hiding something from you. But something...... It's instincts that I was given when I was created, and I can't change them. Just as a wolf cannot eat grass even if he is hungry, and a man cannot fly with his hands, no matter how strong he is. ”

"Don't say it. Ashrufat sighed, his gaze fixed on the strange device that Ylang hadn't taken with him. By touching the thing, Carrie can appear as a phantasm and be seen by everyone.

"Master, the fact that Ylang was able to come here so quickly means that they must have a teleportation point here. Carrie said in Ashrufat's mind. "From this, it seems that they have secretly arranged the power of the entire world. And, what she said, there is a good chance it is true. ”

"I believe that's the truth. "Ashrufat is back. "This is that kind of 'yang conspiracy', even if you know the Tao, you can't change anything. If they convince the Bin...... That would mean ......" He did not speak, but fell into a kind of contemplation.

"Master, don't you have much of a chance of winning?" asked Carrie.

"It's not just not big. Ashrufat confessed. "Although I just pretended to be sure. But if everything is as she says...... And the opponent is the words of the Berel......"

"Master, you've only played a few games with him. Those are just tactical deductions, and they don't represent the battle itself. You don't need to exaggerate his strength so much. ”

"No, Carrie...... I trust my judgment in this regard, the man of Bayrell...... Surpass me in terms of command ability. Unless I have one and a half times his strength, it will be difficult for me to defeat him. But," said Ashrufat, "having said that, judging by Ilan's words, it seems to be the hope of the Ryan at the moment. The two sides who have been hostile to each other and at war for so long want to suddenly put aside their suspicions and work together...... It's not a simple thing to say. Even with the church's vouch, they may not necessarily succeed. ”

He remembered his journey to West Vania and the sight he had seen when he left the village. That night, the flames lit up the night sky, and the sound of fighting could still be heard, which must have been triggered by a large-scale battle between the Bin and Ryan armies.

But if this agreement is reached, then there will be no more than two months left for him. Before the end of winter, the Hama are sure to attack.

"Master, I suggest you take immediate steps to increase your strength. Carrie suggested. "In any case, it is necessary to strengthen the strength. ”

"Strength?" Ashrufat asked rhetorically. What will you do to enhance your strength in two months?

"By increasing the power of those black magics. Carrie said. "I could write a book, and you broke up the pages and divided them among your dark magicians. They've been there for you for a short while, and you really should reward them. This will attract them to remain loyal to you in times of crisis. ”

"Two months can effectively increase the amount of force?"

"It's not very helpful, but it's good to be able to strengthen even a little bit. Carrie replied.

......

At this time, it is already late autumn. The trees in the mountains and forests have taken off their verdant summer clothes and changed into withered yellow autumn clothes. In a few months, the trees will be unclothed and their bare branches covered with snow for winter. Winters in the mountains are always colder than those in the plains.

The whole mountain field shows a kind of autumn mood, and the wind has long lost the scorching heat of summer and has become cool and pleasant. In the distance, he could see a group of children cheering and rushing over the nearby hill to greet their parents—a group of people gathered there, and he could feel the joy of the crowd in the distance, which he recognized as a hunting party. Autumn is a good season for hunting, and judging from the situation, the hunting team has a great harvest today.

I don't know why, but when I saw that group of children, an inexplicable pain flashed in Kedasa's heart. He is nearly sixty years old and has three wives. Ordinary people are already full of children and grandchildren at this time, but because of fate, he finally had a child until middle age......"

"Woo......" A horn interrupted his train of thought. Then he saw a group of men and horses appear at the end of the road with the sound of a trumpet. Holding aloft the banner of the red lion, they walked towards the position of the city gate.

"Is Damon here too?" he muttered to himself. The red lion is Damon's banner, but this man has nothing to do with any lion. It's not just that it's not related, it's even the opposite. If there is anything to serve as his banner, the fox is more suitable. "When he comes, all the people will be ready. ”

He stared at the walls beneath his feet. At this time, he stood on the highest point in the city, and had a bird's-eye view of everything. Looking at this small city, he couldn't help but feel a wave of pride. Although this city is not a small city in the plains, it is now the largest city of the Bin. It is also a symbol of his power and reputation.

There is no king in the Bin, but if there is really a "king" competition, he will at least be the No. 1 seed, if not a sure winner. Of course Damon will come, and everyone will have to bow their heads under his power. This has been the case since Baccarat was captured by the Ryans. Baccarat's lord Alan, was the only one who could match him, however, it was "once and again". Baccarat has long since fallen, and Alan's bloodline has been completely severed, and even his only daughter has died.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but spread to the corners of his mouth.

The flag of the red lion disappeared from his view. He waited a little longer, and a servant came in from outside.

"Master, Lord Damon is here, and he says he wants to see you first. ”

"No need. Kedasa replied. "Let him go to the conference room, with the others. Tell him I'll be over in a short while. ”

Let them all wait. He tapped the windowsill lightly with his cane. Let them know who is in charge of the overall situation now.

"But, Master Damon said, he had some personal topics he wanted to ......" The servant wanted to speak, but he interrupted him with a direct wave of his hand.

"It doesn't matter what he says, just tell him what I say. Tell him to wait in the conference room. ”

To establish authority, it is not only necessary to have power, but also to make others understand one's status, and it is necessary to knock those with bad intentions from time to time. Let them understand the difference in status between them...... Especially that Damon. Although the fox was one of the most powerful nobles of the Hama clan, he knew better that Damon was not the impulsive kind of person. Different people need to be dealt with in different ways. A young or irascible aristocrat will be angry at being treated with contempt, while an old fox will obediently swallow his anger and bow down. But on the other hand, you must not leave your back to the old fox. They won't hesitate to pounce on you and bite you, no matter what you've done to him in the past.
