Section 102 Summary

"As a bodyguard, it seems that you shouldn't just give a warning. ”

"I know they can't kill you. The mysterious woman replied. The voice made Damon feel suspicious, because he instinctively felt that the voice was familiar. "All it takes is a small warning. ”

"There are always exceptions...... Walking on flat ground can cause people to fall to their deaths. Damon looked at the other man's hair. The mysterious woman had a young voice, and she had the blood of the Hama clan in her veins—the pale red hair was the best proof of that. But he was also sure that among the people he knew, there was no such young girl who fell into the hands of a vampire. He searched his memory for the person involved, but he couldn't remember.

"But you're not going to be that unlucky. The girl shook her head slightly, "Heroes don't die on battlefields that no one knows. She said, and walked over to the ledge. With a single leap, she jumped as lightly and silently as a cat onto a one-man ledge. And the armor on her body didn't make any sound at all.

"Wait a minute!" Damon's mind flashed. "Scarlet!" he called out the name.

The girl turned her head slowly. Her hands didn't move, but the top part of her helmet suddenly parted from the middle and retreated into the sides of the helmet.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's really scarlet. Damon knew the girl—in fact, he had taken her in for a while. The girl's lineage originated from one of the most prominent families of the Bin, and her father was the Grand Elder of the Bin, who was once above the Kadasa. But with the fall of Baccarat, Scarlet became the most survivor of her family, relying on her father's legacy in the past to move among the nobles of the Hama clan.

But what is she doing here? and as a vampire subordinate.

"Sure enough, it was you! I thought you were dead...... "Damon remembers very well, when Scarlet went out with a team, but was attacked by the Ryan people on the way. He had thought that Scarlet must have died in that attack, but he didn't expect to meet here again in this way today.

"Several times we were close to death. Scarlet replied. "But maybe it was fate that allowed me to survive. ”

"You were turned into a ...... by the Scarlet Duke Like the same?" The light jump just now was enough to show that something terrible had happened to Scarlet's body. It's not that Damon hasn't seen a human with similar skills, but that's what he has been practicing since he was a child, and it can only be achieved with more than ten years of uninterrupted hard training. And he knows Scarlet's situation very well - no matter how you calculate it, Scarlet's training time will not exceed two years.

"Not yet. Scarlet's answer made him feel a little at ease. "But it's pretty much the same. She replied, "I'm glad you're still alive, I was afraid you'd be killed by the Scarlet Duke on the battlefield." ”

"Why are you here? ...... you were at that time?"

"It can only be said that everything is arranged by fate. For some reason, I made a deal with a vampire. Scarlet replied. "I used my freedom to exchange power from him. ”

"What the hell do the vampires want to do to me?"

"He has no ill will towards you. Because ......there are very few people here," Scarlet sighed. "Actually, if you don't start a war, you can come here peacefully. His rule was not harsh. In addition to you, the people here fear him, but they also recognize him as a just and wise lord. ”

"No matter how fair and virtuous he is, he is also a vampire...... Is the girl I gave him last time still alive?" Damon smiled bitterly.

"It's all alive and well. Scarlet's answer made Damon slightly stunned. He could clearly see that after mentioning this topic without knowing why Lu Dao had mentioned this topic, his scarlet face lost the calm demeanor he had just had. "One even climbed into his bed!"

"Are you all alive?" Damon asked again in disbelief.

"It's alive and well. Scarlet replied. "Maybe the vampires had other plans, but I always thought he was just imprisoning them in the castle to play. Even if he did, he was only enjoying their bodies, not their lives. ”

She jumped outward, and with a single roll, she disappeared into the night sky. As before, Scarlet's movements were light and nimble, and silent. Damon was left alone in the room with mixed feelings. For a moment, he even thought it was just a fleeting dream.

"Crawling into the vampire's bed?" Damon pondered. If the sentence were to be addressed to a different audience, such as a nobleman or something, he would have understood the meaning immediately. But vampires...... Do vampires need women? Do they need that? In church propaganda, the immortal vampire is essentially a carrion corpse. Although vampires were turned into humans, all of their desires as humans were transformed into a thirst for blood. The blood-sucking urge replaces instincts such as appetite and sexual desire.

......

Ashrufat sat alone in his study.

According to what Thomas taught him—or the rules he set—he must sum up after the war. Think about all the mistakes you have made, think about what you have done right, and then think about all the mistakes made by the enemy, and then you will gain valuable experience.

Of course, in those days when he was disguised as the Boss of the Blood Flag, it was difficult for him to have a chance to write down these things with notes. But now it's different.

There is nothing to say about the mistakes of the Bin, and fundamentally speaking, their biggest mistake is that the Bins are essentially just a "coalition army", and each unit has its own plans. In particular, the Great Elder Kaidasa, who had the greatest power among them. Kedasa actually used a large number of scouts, spies, and spies to prevent other tribes from attacking Mir. If Kedassa had put these scouting powers elsewhere, it would have been difficult for Commander Eric to capture Mir so easily. Even if Eric used trickery to capture the city of Mir, he would not be able to rely on 2,000 troops to hold it for a whole day and a night.

It should be said that when he led the elite of the undead army to the city of Mir, the outcome of the war had already been decided.

In a word, Kaidasa is very selfish, and wants to take the opportunity of this war to expand his power, and even make himself the uncrowned king of the Bin, rather than a "great elder". With his example, the other tribes were of course suspicious and wary of each other, and at the end of the day, there was even a matter of Damon being unable to endure all kinds of suppression by Kaidasa and turning against each other.

If the Bins themselves had not made such a stupid mistake and had been united, Ashrufat would have had no chance of victory. Even if he used the path entrenched by the dragon to launch a surprise attack, he would either be discovered by the sentinels and spies halfway, or he would not be able to defend it. A city like Mill City would barely have enough men to concentrate on capturing it, but if you hold it in front of a superior enemy, it will not work at all. At that time, I am afraid that the most difficult result will be that only a part of the materials in the city can be destroyed. This, in turn, would force the Bins to quickly invade Sivania in order to fight to the death. That situation was even worse than the original.

As for his mistakes...... To be honest, going to war with the Hama was the biggest mistake in itself. In Ashrufat's original vision, he was confronted with a hastily organized crusade army of the Ryan after he captured Sivania. Due to the rush of time and the containment of the Bin, although the Ryan people nominally have an army of more than 100,000, the number of this crusading army will not exceed 30,000. And Ashrufat will confront the crusaders at the location of the West Vanian border. Then take advantage of that path (he had enough reason to think that no one wanted to provoke the dragon, so that path was definitely a surprise) and detoured from behind to cut off the crusading army's retreat. Turn that valley into a pocket, block it in front and seal it in the back, load all the enemy troops into it, and then defeat or force land the enemy in one fell swoop. After this victory, the Ryan's thirst for revenge will cease for several years, and then he can slowly expand the undead legion and organize a certain number of human auxiliary forces.

But the arrival of the Hama clan was completely unexpected. And there are so many of them that even the valley that connects Ryan mainland to West Vania can't fit it. If it weren't for their laxity and infighting, things might have been completely different.

The second mistake was that his undead legion had lost too much, and he should use it sparingly. What Ashrufat originally possessed was an army of zombies that relied on the power of dimensional stone to temporarily dominate it. Everyone knows that the combat power of the zombies is very weak, and the only advantage is that they are numerous. It was the refuge of a large number of dark mages that allowed him to possess all kinds of powerful undead creatures such as banshees, ghosts, and dire wolves.

But these undead creatures are all accumulated by the dark mages in the past, and they are not like zombies, which can be conjured overnight. For example, the dire wolf, which is fast, flexible, and silent, is an ideal unit for a surprise attack, and can completely replace the role of light cavalry in the undead legion. It would take a dark mage weeks to create a dire wolf. Even if Carrie made improvements to the relevant steps, it would still take about ten days. In this war, Ashrufat lost half of the dire wolves. And banshees, ghouls, and so on.

All in all, it will take at least half a year for his undead legion to recover its combat strength.

"Carrie, is there any good idea?" asked Ashrufat in his mind. "Can you come up with those spells that could easily summon a whole bunch of powerful undead?"

"Unfortunately, you don't have the permissions...... However, my master has improved the efficiency of the relevant dark arts, increasing the efficiency of your subordinates by more than thirty percent. ”

If he did anything right in this war, it was to accept Damon's surrender. With the help of Damon's people, he not only won the victory, but the speed at which he cleaned up the post-war mess can already be described as "god speed".

After the fall of the main force of Kedasa, the remaining Hama forces had only two options: either accept Damon's surrender and pledge allegiance to the vampires in exchange for the safety of themselves and their families, or die. The remaining small forces of the Binzu all gave in, without exception.

But there were too many people in the Hama tribe, and only a third of what Damon could take with him was a third. As for the rest, Carrie suggested that they be put at her disposal as slaves, and devised a whole scheme for this. Ashrufat didn't even look at it, so he handed over the plan to Eric to carry out on his behalf.

The next step is the regular army of the Ryans. I don't know who is in command of the road...... In fact, as long as it's not Bayral, other people shouldn't see through it...... Ashrufat thought. And the likelihood of Bayral from a foreign country as a commander-in-chief is too low.
