"No, it didn't work out. The clerk replied. Seeing that the other party didn't look like he wanted to read the letter, he also retracted his hand.

"Didn't work out?" Leto burped again. "Hiccup...... It's okay if it doesn't work out...... Anyway, I don't care if I succeed or not. Of course, success is best, and it is better not to succeed......"

"Your Highness, you are drunk......" the servant kindly reminded. "We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Leto glanced pitifully at the servant beside him. He may indeed look like he's drunk, staggering, and unsteady, but he knows it in his head. And this servant didn't even notice this? Of course, as a nobleman, there is no need for such a trivial matter to be bothered by the same servant.

"So, the rumors have gotten out, right?" Leto continued.

"Everything has been carried out according to the plan. The clerk replied. "The vampires should hear about this rumor soon. Even if he hadn't heard of it, after a while, our people would have deliberately revealed the news to him. ”

"Very good...... In this way, even if the vampires want to use the troops of the Hama Clan, they will have to weigh more. And the time is only half a month, and when the vampire weighs it out, it is estimated that there will be no time. All of the generals in Ryan's army have the same opinion - as long as the army makes it through the valley to Sivania, the vampires will be defeated.

Sometimes, you have to admire Baylor. With such an easy plan, the vampire's plan to use the remnants of the Bina clan failed. Of course, being able to accept such a suggestion and put it into practice also shows that I am also a very capable superior......

"Anything else?" Leto complimented himself inwardly, and then continued to ask the clerk.

"No...... Oh, Your Highness has one more little thing. Your historian proposes to go to the front lines to give a detailed account of the course of the war. ”

"It's a little thing, just satisfy him. Leto replied. Historian...... Hehe...... This time there were actually two historians in his army. One was from the royal city, and the other was sent by the church. It seems that this is a war that is won but enough to go down in history. His name, Leto, would probably become a name that would occupy an important place in history, rather than the kind of mediocre and inactive prince who was quickly forgotten after his death, leaving only an insignificant name on the royal family tree......

The strength of the wine mixed with the excitement rushed to Leto's head. His servant did not hold on to him, and he staggered several steps, and fell to the ground without stepping on one foot. Seeing this, the clerk immediately remembered something else important, and hurriedly took his leave and left. After he was gone, the servant managed to lift his master up again.

......

"The Ryan people are marching in. Eric recounted the reality. "They are making steady progress and repairing abandoned camps along the way. ”

There were a little more people in this meeting, and all the middle level, that is, all the dark magicians, except for Eshurufat and Eric, all attended the meeting. Of course, Eric, who doesn't understand the dark arts, is really just a staff officer in name only.

The meeting was convened because the Ryans seemed to be fighting beyond Ashrufat's expectations. Instead of taking advantage of the path, they pounced straight from the front. According to the report, the Ryan did not establish any strong defensive camp on the other side of the path. Although the reconnaissance ability of the vampire side is very weak, and it is impossible to obtain the specific deployment and transfer of Ryan's army, the situation of such camps can still be trusted.

"I'm afraid there's a catch. A dark mage replied. "The lessons of the Bin's failures are still evident there, and no stupid person will make the same mistake. ”

"If there are traps...... Where would that be?"

"Lord Duke, I believe in our interior. Someone chimed in. "I recently heard a rumor. Damon seems to have made some sort of secret pact with the Ryans and will betray us at a critical moment. They are staying behind us at the moment, if they make a mess at a critical moment...... will pose a deadly threat. ”

"Damon?" Ashruphat muttered, but did not answer.

"Why would Damon make this choice, what would he gain by betraying him, and what would guarantee him those benefits?" asked Eric. The old soldier smiled clearly as he spoke, but Ashrufat understood his intentions. Perhaps Eric never imagined that one day he would be in the service of a vampire, a fellow of the same group of dark magicians.

"I don't know what to do. The one who spoke answered. "But I believe that a person who has betrayed once is always easier to betray a second time, and there will be no psychological barriers such as loyalty, morality, conscience, etc. ”

Eric looked at each other. Due to the influence of the dark arts, these magicians all look like teenagers or even teenagers, but Eric knows that many of them can be their grandfathers. According to Eric's understanding, during this time, several more dark magicians came to Sivania from somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and quickly threw themselves into the vampire's command. Like all those newcomers who are new to the board are going to do, they're trying to show themselves to gain the favor of vampires – by all means.

"Wait...... Wait a minute......" another dark mage spoke. "I can...... Are you sure...... It's a ...... Rumor. ”

The eyes of the others were focused on the black magician.

"Why do you say that?" asked the man from earlier.

"Church...... Already...... Bounty on Damon's ...... The head...... At this time, he ...... In the event of betrayal...... So...... It couldn't be more stupid...... Finish. He...... It's a ...... Wise man...... No...... To commit such ...... Wrong. ”

"The Ryan may also add a cancellation clause to the secret agreement. ”

"This kind of ...... Public ...... Reward...... No way...... Cancellated. Otherwise...... ...... of the Church What's the face? No matter how stupid people are...... Nor will I believe it...... This commitment ...... Unless...... What's ...... reliable Guarantee. But...... This secret covenant ...... It's impossible...... Yes...... What guarantees ......"

The black mage's throat seemed to have been wounded in some way, causing his voice to be choppy. However, his logic is clear and impeccable.

"But at the end of the day, there is a risk. The former replied. "After all, sometimes people get confused or confused. Lord Duke, I advise you to ...... this"

"I know ......what I know," replied Ashrufat. "What are we going to do if Ryan's army comes from the front?"

"There is no choice but to face it head-on. "This time it was Eric who said it. "The whole war will consist of a series of small wars, in which case whoever is the most determined will will hold out to the last. And I suggest that we have to choose the battlefield in the rear...... The location here ......" Eric pointed to a point on the map.

"Here, there are no such strongholds built by the Bin. So that if we win, we can also take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

Ashruphat shook his head. The camps left behind by the Binn have become the best support for the Ryan people to camp step by step. Although he tried his best to burn and destroy, after all, the foundations of the civil construction were still there. Anyone with a bit of experience knows that building a wall with nothing and repairing it on top of a broken wall are two different things, and the former requires several times or even ten times more time and manpower than the latter.

It only takes a fraction of the time for the Ryan to repair the fort and serve as an excellent position for blocking and defending. These camps were one-way defensive - when the undead attacked from south to north, the barracks were fortified, and when the Ryan attacked from north to south, the barracks were barely defenseless. Maybe this is a premeditated pawn.

"First of all, there should be a small skirmish to determine their morale and equipment. I've heard that the Ryan are carrying a powerful artillery and are ready to go into battle. This may well be their trump card, and I recommend seeing the effectiveness of the artillery to decide on a countermeasure. A dark mage suggested.

"Since the Ryans didn't take advantage of that path, it's our turn to take advantage of it. The other said. "It only takes one detour behind enemy lines—or even just a slight demonstration—for the Ryan to be garrisoned. The remaining troops were about 10,000 to 20,000 troops, which means that we lost a quarter of their troops on the key battlefields without any effort. With the permission of the Duke, I am willing to carry out this task. ”

"But consider that the Ryans may be on the same page as us. Eric reminded the other. "Maybe they've set some trap here, just waiting to annihilate an undead legion and boost morale with the first victory. The stakes are significant. ”

Ashrufat mentally calculated the trap behind the other party. The commander of the enemy was Baylor, and that man was an enemy that could not be taken lightly under any circumstances. Mimilu was watching the path, so she could be sure that no one could pass through, so what was the thinking behind the other side? Could it be that as Eric said, was also playing the same idea? Somewhere far away, there was an elite force that was always fast, waiting to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy who crossed the path?

But in this way, it is equivalent to them pulling an elite army away from the main battlefield...... No, there's no way Bayral could have made such a mistake that seemed ingenious, but was actually stupid. What are the other reasons?

"Master!" Carrie exclaimed, in her head.

"What's wrong, Carrie?" asked Ashrufat.

"Meno...... Beneath Meno there is an army of the Ryans!" replied Carrie. She somehow established contact with the city of Meno, giving orders and listening to reports in the name of Ashrufat, so she immediately got the relevant information. "There are thousands of them...... Thankfully, they didn't have siege equipment...... Details ...... Wait a minute, someone opened the gates...... They're already in!"

"How is that possible...... "While the Semu have extraordinary talents and are naturally the best scouts and thieves, that doesn't mean they can ignore all dangers. After all, they are just ordinary creatures, and a bullet, an arrow, and a small stumble on a cliff can cause fatal results.

"I'll be in touch immediately!" said Carrie, silent.

"Calm down, Ashrufat, calm down! If you are calm when you get bad news, your men will only waver. If you waver, your subordinates will be terrified. If you panic, your subordinates will collapse. I don't know why, but at this moment, all that echoed in his mind was what Thomas had said to him back then.

"I know what their ruse is. Ashrufat finally spoke. No matter how much shock and shake he felt in his heart, at least it was not visible on his face at all. "Sure enough, they sent out the Belo Task Force to somehow bypass my surveillance, and have now captured Meno. ”
