After reading the letter, Beller carefully read it again from beginning to end, and then fell into deep thought. Taking this opportunity, Robin also took the letter and read it once.

"General, have you sent a spy over there? Is this a secret letter from a spy?"

"Robin, as I said, I am an official official appointed by the two countries, how can I send spies or something? Only hostile countries will send spies. Bayral replied somewhat absent-mindedly. "I just sent a friend there to find out. Check it out...... Customs, customs, etc. The reason why I got this information was purely accidental. ”

Of course, even in Robin's eyes, his words were not convincing. However, Béral said no more, and while eating a snack, he once again fell into deep thought. I don't know what he's thinking, but Robin clearly sees that Beller doesn't know what to eat, and he even puts all the snacks in his mouth and continues to bite the air - until he bites his finger. It was a real bite that even left deep tooth marks on the fingers. Stimulated by the pain, Béral's whole body trembled, and only then did he come back to his senses.

"General, we have to do something, right?" asked Robin, expectantly.

"Do something......? It's time to do something. Beller nodded. "I can't let myself be idle, Robin, for another snack. ”

"Your Excellency!" Robin was angry and anxious.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Robin, just kidding, just kidding. Bayral replied. "Well, what did you just say? What are we going to do?"

"General, now that the vampires have taken over Sivania, if we don't take effective measures to stop him, then he really has a firm grip on this land. He's going to turn into a huge threat......"

"That's right...... If this situation continues...... The Ryans should finally choose to go on the defensive against the vampires and prioritize the more threatening Hamas. By the time the war is over, it will be a matter of years. It will take a few more years to recover, and if we use troops against Sivania again, I am afraid that time will not be left! Worse still, it is better to say that the war is going well, in case the war is unfavorable...... There is a good chance that Tiberius will be dragged into the war. ”

Beller held his chin and said in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself.

"Our alliance with the Ryan has lasted for a long time...... The two sides have maintained an extremely good and intimate relationship...... Covenant-based obligations...... We must also help the Ryan in times of crisis......" he frowned, "but I know the situation at home...... We can't afford another war anytime soon!"

"Your Excellency, you're talking about the war between the Ryan and the Hamas...... Not sure?"

"Fools can start wars, but only the truly strong can end wars. Bayral replied. "If the Hama are so easy to deal with, it doesn't deserve Ryan's attention. With a population of more than one million, nearly 300,000 adult men who can take up arms and fight, and with the plains in front of them, if they win, the Bins will inevitably move out of the mountains and occupy large tracts of land. Compared to the Hamma, the Ryan only have the ability to withstand one more defeat...... If you lose in a large-scale battle...... With only one defeat, the Ryan people have to spit out all the fruits of the past war, and with only two defeats, Ryan is in danger of being dismembered. Of course, if the Hama clan is defeated once, it will be completely finished. ”

He stopped and smiled at Robin. "This war is a big gamble, but it doesn't mean it's going to win. ”

"As for vampires, it's the other way around...... There is only one road between Sivania and Ryan proper, and the whole area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in turn, it will be difficult for vampires to leave Sivania to expand further...... It is clear which of the two is more important. ”

"But the ...... just now Didn't your friend say that vampires are far more powerful than expected?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to the Blood Knights. Belle replied lazily. "He's on his own, after all...... I still remember fighting the undead legions of Kalean in the desert, when the Blood Knights charged, and that memory still gives me nightmares to this day......"

"I'm not sure, though, if the Scarlet Duke is the same Eshurufat we've seen. Bayer added. "If it's really the same person, if he's not lying, then it's interesting. What do you say a vampire is going to be a disciple of Thomas? Was it a plan? Or was it by chance? No, I'd rather believe it was planned! The vampire queen was aware of it before the war, so she sent her husband to learn how to use the army from a great commander......"

When he said this, Bayral had a very depressed look on his face. "Why didn't he come to me?" he muttered. "I didn't think I would be inferior to Thomas......"

"Your Excellency!" exclaimed Robin. "You're digressing again. ”

"It's okay, I'm just sighing...... By the way, I digressed? What are we discussing?"

"We have to do something? You can't just watch the vampires do whatever they want in Sivania, can you? ”

"That's right...... We have to do something......" Bayral began to trances again. His eyes stared blankly at the space in front of the room. "It's not a matter of tactics, it's a fundamental disadvantage in strategy...... The Ryan people are forced to fight on two fronts, but they don't have the strength to fight on two fronts......"

He slowly closed his eyes, as if he were about to fall asleep, but the next moment he opened them, and this time there was a sparkle in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"My lord, have you figured out a solution?"

"It should be said that there is a general direction. "Let's go, let's go to the Prince of Leto." ”

Béral's meeting was not denied, and Leto met him once in his room. However, this meeting was clearly unexpected for him, because he didn't even have time to put on his own coat. Robin remained outside the room, closing the door and beckoning the two princes' guards to leave a short distance, lest the conversation in the room leak into their ears.

"I wonder why the Governor asked to see him again?" In the room, although Leto maintained his initial arrogance, there was a bit of anxiety between his eyebrows.

"Your Excellency...... Let's be honest...... "Bayor's attitude seems ambiguous. "Now, doesn't the Ryan Kingdom have the strength to fight the vampires?"

"Ridiculous! We have a good army......"

"But most of them have to deal with the Bin! Come on, my lord, there is no third party here, and our words will not be passed on. So let's discuss the issue with the attitude of an honest gentleman to another honest gentleman. ”

Leto was taken aback. He didn't expect Bayrell to suddenly show such an attitude, and he wasn't sure how to deal with this scene for a while. However, he remained silent after the eventually, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Are the Bins very strong? I remember that there had been a long-term economic blockade against them. It seems to prohibit the private sale of iron and salt ......"

"It didn't work at all. This time, Leto finally answered. "After all, the place is too big, and there are countless unknown mountain paths. Every time you set up a level, you'll find ten places where you need to set up the level. And the number of profiteers who want to get rich is too great. Our blockade has caused only minor problems. Maybe it's not even a problem. ”

"It's troublesome enough for a Hamas, and now there's a vampire. Bayral smiled, "Let's not talk about the army, it's already very disadvantageous strategically." Now our King Majesty is also a headache. However, the problem can be looked at from a different angle. ”

He spoke in such a way that people would never be mistaken.

"I wonder what General Lu Dao has to teach you?" Leto called the other party "General" this time. This is actually an unconscious compromise. If he calls the other party "governor", then it means that he sees the other party as his subordinate, at least someone with a lower official rank than himself, but to be called a general is completely equal meaning.

"Although there are constant skirmishes, in theory, now the Kingdom of Ryan and the Hama are in a state of truce. Not an ally, but not an enemy either?"

"Yes, in theory. ”

"So, purely theoretically, even if it is a Bin, they are entrusted with important positions by the king...... For example, if they are reorganized into the kingdom's army, their tribal leader becomes the kingdom's general, there is nothing wrong with it. Do you say?"

"This ......"

"So, I have a solution to the problem - drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

"You mean......" Leto had come to his senses. "Let the Hama deal with the vampires...... But this is not possible. He shook his head. "The idea is good, but it can't be executed. Our hostility with the Hama is too deep. ”

"Nothing is impossible in politics. If it is impossible, it must be that the conditions for prescribing it are not enough. Beller replied unequivocally.

"What offer can we offer? If it's too high, it won't be honored! The truth is that their threat is too great for the sake of the safety and honor of the kingdom to be ignored. It's hard for vampires to come from Sylvania, and if nothing else, Mir City is in the way. But it was easy for the Hama to call. In fact, the odds are great!"

"His Majesty the King has long planned to ...... Proper handling...... An armistice, huh?" said Bayral, euphemistically.

Leto nodded. Actually, it's not a secret.

"If you're already planning to tear up one agreement, why bother tearing up the second?" Berald asked rhetorically.

This time, Leto was completely stunned, and after a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses with a rare smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, what you're saying is so interesting. But what are you telling me all this for?"

"Because I'm a foreigner. Bayrell shrugged. "I hate to say it, but I serve Ryan, but I don't swear allegiance to it. It is very inappropriate for me to make such a proposal to the king. But you are different, you are a prince, a royal nobleman, a wealth of seniority, if you secretly make this proposal to the king...... That's normal. ”

"So you gave me this opportunity?...... So, as you just said, answer with an honest gentleman's attitude, what do you want?"

"I want to get a favor from His Royal Highness. Maybe one day or later, I will need you to repay this favor. You know, no matter who you are, you have to leave a way back for yourself......"

Robin watched Beller stride out of the room. To his surprise, Leto, who looked very arrogant, actually sent Bayrell out of the door and politely said goodbye to him. That sloppy situation is like two familiar friends.
