Bayral's face had a hurt look on his face.

"Robin, how can you think that?!Why am I doing nothing?...... I'm not " he muttered softly, the voice was so soft that Robin couldn't hear it clearly, but he didn't know what he was talking about, he thought that Bayral was talking about "eating snacks every day and fattening himself".

"Your Excellency!" shouted Robin.

"Know, know, ......," Bayral shook his hand. "Robin, you're too serious. But I can't do anything about it. I don't think there's much anyone can do. ”

"Can't do anything?" this time it was Robin's turn to wonder.

"Let's put it this way, this time the vampire's actions have been prepared for a long time, and they are very difficult to resist. While I hate to admit it, this is the case. There are a total of four forces in Sivania, but after a long period of preparation, the vampire has already been sure that he will do it. Among the four forces, Meno was deeply infiltrated by vampires, so the city gate was directly opened by the traitors when the war began, and no one was recruited in this case. The excavation site coincided with a change in the church's upper echelons, and as a result, all the leaders left, allowing the vampires to take advantage of the situation. Both the lords of Via and Istria suddenly died, and then let the vampires take advantage of it. If the possibility of 'pure luck' is deducted, then it can only be understood that the whole process is a complete and rigorous action plan. Behind the scenes, plan, wait, and execute. A well-prepared, closely confidential, and purposeful operation like this is very difficult to counter. Bayrell spread his hands and continued with an innocent expression. "Even if I'm in West Vania now, I'll have to curse and run away, if I still have a chance to run. ”

"General, what do you think of it...... You look like you're happy!" Robin looked at Baylor suspiciously.

"Ah, do I have it? By the way, have Istrian troops withdrawn?" Beller asked suddenly.

"Not yet, but they'll arrive today. Robin replied. Istria fell into the hands of the vampires, but the army withdrew. This is because although the lord died, a few officers finally took on the responsibility of commanding the army. The defenders were able to hold the city firmly and repelled several attacks. In order to reduce their losses, the last vampire made a deal with them to allow them to retreat. And the defenders had to do something, because the vampires were so large that they couldn't hold out for long.

Comparatively speaking, the situation in Via is much worse. It was clearly written in the letter just now - the dragons in the city were leaderless and unable to organize resistance, and the last defenders all surrendered to the vampires.

"With the Istrian forces, the defenses here in Mill City are almost sufficient. Bayral seemed to be talking to himself. "The march of the vampires is too fast. If he really had the goal of dominating...... Then he must pause for now, solve the internal problems, improve the ruling institutions, and then ......"

"And then?" asked Robin this time.

Then he lost the chance to chase after the victory. He would never be so arrogant as to think that Ryan and the church could turn a blind eye to his actions. So he should build defenses, expand his army, purge the remnants of the enemy, eliminate the opponents, and prepare to face the excellent army of the Ryans. Although it was said that it was a serious topic, no matter how you looked at Bellor, it was that relaxed and comfortable expression. "Robin, if Ashrufat is desperate to attack Mill City, then I can give him a hundred points, and if he takes advantage of this short gap to stabilize the rear in preparation for a decisive battle, then I can give him a ninety points......"

"What's the perfect score?" Robin was stunned.

"One hundred and fifty points. Bayral shrugged and replied.

Robin suddenly felt a little crazy about himself. Just now, his general praised Ashruphat like a flower, and in the blink of an eye, he belittled him as worthless. This is really still the saying "up and down with one mouth".

"For what?!" But at the end of the day, Robin restrained himself and asked this question.

"Because he shouldn't have done it at this time. Bayral replied. "He lacks patience and now is not the best time for him to take Sivania. This is like choosing the wrong time for engagement, so no matter how skillfully the troops are arranged and how meticulous the on-the-spot command is, it will be difficult to win the most difficult victory. ”

He looked at Robin, who still had a puzzled look on his face.

"Robin, do you know the truth, in a little while...... The situation will change dramatically throughout the Ryan region. ”

"What's changed?"

"The Ryan will go to war with the Hamas. Bayral replied. "The Hama are not that easy to deal with, so this is destined to be a long and fierce war...... If the battle starts, the vampires take the opportunity to capture Sivania...... Then the Ryan people are really powerless, and can only let the vampires ask for it. Not to mention Sivania, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep even the city of Mill. When the time comes, the vampires will have years of opportunity to clean up the interior and put the troops in order. By the time the Ryan people recovered, they had lost their best chance to retake Sivania. Maybe never again. ”

"Ah......" Robin finally understood what Baylor meant. Robin didn't expect that much. "So, what do you mean ......"

"I didn't mean anything. A daily smile crossed Beller's face. "Robin, I suddenly remembered something, a very important thing, that you need to do. Are you ready?"

"Of course, General, I'm ready!" Robin almost wanted to jump, for the first time in a long time, Bayrouer had asked him to go on an important mission. Probably went to Sivania to inquire about information...... Or give the details of Sivania to the Ryan people. These two tasks do require loyal and reliable subordinates to accomplish them.

"Help me get the snacks here, and of course, I want double. Beller touched his face. He did gain some weight during this time. A large part of that is thanks to Robin's dim sum.

"Speaking of which, the Duke of Scarlet's name is Aerufat, and the disciple of Thomas is also called Aethrufat......" Beller whispered to himself after Robin left. "Is this a coincidence? Is it a lie? Or is it just an accidental name, or is it intentional? There are some things that are really impossible to fathom...... Scold...... Am I just a mortal after all?"

......

The Nightmare Horse's hooves trodden through the streets of Via, and the lord's mansion was ahead.

This was the second time Ashrufat had been here, but it was very different from the last time. Last time, he was introduced as a servant, and this time, he came here in the form of a conqueror. What happened in Via was not as he expected, Scarlet killed Hassel, and with no leader and no leader, the defenders surrendered, and he took the city almost without a fight. Of course, even if Hassel were still around, the situation would not be fundamentally different. The city's defenses were actually quite weak - this was because Hassel didn't bother to invest even a single copper in it.

"I don't know where Lu Daofei went. He said casually to Carrie in his mind.

"I guess I escaped. Carrie didn't show her apparition, but Ashruphat could imagine Carrie's pouting look now. "Master, you've wasted a good opportunity. That girl could have been your right-hand man. We should have put a controllable chip on her, so that her every move is completely under your control. Well, we've wasted a lot of effort, and we've lost a lightweight set of recon armor and a sword made of high-polymer materials! ”

Carrie seems to have a big grudge against this matter, and she chatters endlessly.

"And it's a shame! I thought she would spend a week getting used to her body's strength, and then another week to finish out Hassel. But in fact she attacked Hassel the same day and killed him the next day. What does this mean? It means that her physical fitness is even better than I had calculated. Ay...... It's a pity that she's gone now, and if she chooses to avoid you, then you can't do anything about her. ”

"It's all right, Carrie, don't we still have those...... Debugging the sink?"

"But there is no second one of those qualities!" Carrie continued. "Actually, master, this kind of biochemical transformation is too reluctant in the absence of a specialized control chip. If it weren't for Scarlet's special physique, I wouldn't have the confidence to carry out similar biochemical modifications. Because there are details that involve the brain...... If it were to be forced, about 99 out of 100 people would die. ”

Ashrufat jumped off his horse and walked into the lord's mansion surrounded by several of his subordinates. Now, of course, it's completely empty here. Hassel's former guards, bodyguards, and subordinates all fell into his hands. And this mansion, of course, should become his temporary shelter.

Well, the first step of the plan to control the whole of West Vania has been successfully completed. Now it's time for the second step...... The problem is that Ashrufat doesn't have a plan for the second step. And he didn't have the capital to carry out the second step of the plan, and after a while, his main force would naturally collapse due to the exhaustion of dark magic energy......

Hey, no matter how you look at it, this situation is not optimistic.

Ashrufat came to a halt. And his men moved a little faster, blocking in front of him. At this moment, in the middle of the mansion that should have been empty, there was a black figure. It should be said that there were several black figures standing. If Ashrufat is not mistaken, there are more in the houses on either side. The people in front of them were all wearing black cloaks and covering their true faces with hoods.

"Your Excellency. The dark shadow in the lead bowed. "I'm sorry for the rudeness, but I really can't find a chance to talk to you alone. It's not easy to get through your army and meet you, and your men keep you too close. ”

Ashrufat looked at the people around him, and he was not accompanied by the Tomb Guard, but several rebel leaders. He made a gesture, and several of his subordinates stepped back in amusement.

The one in the lead took off his hood. It was a young face, but it was a little too pale. Under that young face, there are a pair of vicissitudes of life. Ashrufat immediately recognized who the man was.

"Hein. He said the other man's name.

"That's right, Lord Duke, we're meeting again. Please forgive me for my last offense. The Dark Mage saluted again.
