They began to return the way they came.

Everyone could sense that the Great Elder, who was the head of the legations, Damon, was in a visibly bad mood. During this journey, no one even dared to say anything. However, after walking for a while, perhaps realizing that Damon's mood had eased somewhat, a person quietly followed, and drove the horse side by side with Damon.

"My lord, the situation ...... How's that?" the man asked in a low voice. But unlike the mouthy one just now, this one is Damon's henchman.

"It's not good. Damon replied. "My two proposals...... All rejected by vampires. ”

Of course, there is nothing surprising about this. The first proposal is to form an alliance against the enemy - starting with a vampire attack on Ryan soil, of course. As long as you are not a fool, you can understand that this is clearly to let the vampires take millet from the fire of the Bin. The second proposal was for the Hams to relocate to Sivania, but they would have to remain independent and not accept vampire rule. The vampire also refused without hesitation.

Perhaps it is from the two proposals that the Bins have ill intentions. The vampire then immediately changed the subject, claiming that he liked the "blind girl" in the legation and asked to keep Léa. That being said, he didn't give Damon a chance to bargain at all. He didn't even give Damon and Léa a chance to see each other again, and after two or three sentences, he directly "drove out" the envoys out of the castle.

"...... so"

"Well, I'm afraid war is inevitable. Damon replied. The old guy in Kedasa was very supportive of war against vampires, and most of the elders agreed. Because the facts before us are clear. Either fight the vampires or fight the Ryans. If you fight with the Ryans, then the Binn people are isolated, and the odds of winning are really not good. But if you fight a vampire, then it's the other way around. According to all human instincts, they should indeed choose vampires as their opponents.

Of course, there are also factors of instability. When fighting vampires, the Ryans should not act rashly in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism. But after the victory in the war, the Ryan people are likely to take the opportunity to attack.

When the time comes, will they be able to take advantage of the favorable terrain of Sivania in time to fight the Ryans?, he remembered the vampire's face, and somehow fought a cold war.

"I'm thinking too much, how to deal with vampires right now...... However, what is the winning strategy that Bayral is talking about......" he said to himself in a low voice, he shouldn't have gone so fast at that time, and he should have learned what kind of winning tactics he had. "What kind of battle is it that must be won?"

......

"The so-called winning tactics are, in the final analysis, to use one's own advantages to counter the enemy's disadvantages. Let's say we have a hundred days of food, and the enemy has fifty days...... Theoretically, it only takes a hundred days to confront each other. When we ran out of food, the enemy starved to death. Bayral explained to Robin. "That's what you have to win. Because if you don't fight, you win. ”

"But the enemy won't be stupid enough to starve there. Won't they bypass our army and attack our rear prosper? Once you fight, there will be winners and losers. ”

"That's right, Robin. It seems that you have improved a lot. Baylor smiled. "That's what it is, so these are 'theoretical' things. ”

"General, are you supposed to be...... Lie to them......"

"Me?" said Beller smiled, looking up into the distance. The journey was not particularly long, but it took several days. However, the city of Mill can already be seen in front of us, and the journey is coming to an end. "Nonsense! How could I lie to people? I just offered a suggestion, and as to whether to accept it or not, or what the consequences would be, I had to ask them themselves. I'm not a soothsayer after all. ”

He made a gesture of helplessness, but Robin could sense a sense of pride in his master. Robin was immediately relieved. From their standpoint, the Hama are enemies, and the vampires are also enemies, and for the enemy, whatever they do is justified, and they should not be ashamed of it.

"Your Excellency, Ryan will definitely praise you for the success of your plan this time, and His Majesty the King will be proud of you. ”

"Really?" said Beller, but only a smile was on his face. "Robin, you don't understand yet. Beller's eyes were fixed on Mill City ahead. "Speaking of testimonials...... In fact, I reckon that in Ryan, someone is starting to hate me. ”

"Hate you?" said Robin, strange. Beller conceived the whole strategy and sent an envoy to the Hama as an envoy, and finally achieved his goal. It can almost be said that Bayral took care of the whole thing single-handedly. Not to mention anything else, the Ryan people were able to completely get rid of the threat of the Binds without a single soldier, and this credit alone is already very considerable. In this case, how could the Ryan people, who had even planned to abandon Sivania, hate it? It stands to reason that it is too late to be grateful!

"Well, let's say, the people waiting for us in the city of Mir...... Our Lord Leto must be tired of me. Bayral replied with a smile. "What kind of reward do you think he will bring?"

"An honorary title and a handsome bounty. Robin replied. For foreign nobles, this is already a very heavy reward. "Maybe a treasure or two or something......"

"No," Beller replied. "There are probably only a few beautiful empty words, and then I complain about it with various reasons. After the end, let me be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, continue to stay in Mir City, and continue to monitor the movements of the Binzu for them when there are no soldiers and no power. ”

Under the agreement reached between the Ryan and the Bin, the city of Mill must be "temporarily loaned" to the Bins as a rear base until the Bins recapture Sivania. This condition is very generous, but Robin knows that this is actually a foreshadowing for Bayral to do a good job in the future. If the Hama defeat the vampires, then the ownership of the city is the best excuse for the next war.

"Impossible!" Robin asked incredulously. "What are they ...... for?"

"Because somebody is starting to hate me!" replied Béral, seemingly unconcerned. "Luckily, I don't really care about that. Through these things, I should be able to fulfill His Majesty's original mission to 'deal with vampires'. I should be recalled to China soon. I can finally get out of here and go back......"

"General, what do you think...... Can the Hama defeat the vampires?"

"If the vampire is the Ishrufat we met, the Bin are eighty percent sure. ”

"What if it wasn't?" Robin asked.

"Then I'm 100% sure. Belle Ha laughed. "Oh, you see, there's a welcoming guard of honor at the door. ”

A welcoming guard of honour was indeed set up at the gates of the city, and it was Leto himself who led the process. Robin remembered the last time they had met Leto in the city. This time, the arrogant Duke of Leto, in turn, personally led the team to greet him, and did it more thoroughly than the last time in Béral, waiting at the gates of the city.

The welcoming ceremony was soon over. In Robin's opinion, although Leto still has the appearance of looking down on people in his bones, he is also polite and low-browled on the surface.

"General Baylor. Leto welcomed Béral into the Doge's Palace. It should be known that Bayrell was nominally the "acting" governor of the city, but because of the envoy to the Bin, the affairs of the city were temporarily entrusted to Leto. So, it was a bit inappropriate for Leto to welcome him as a master at the moment, but Beller didn't care about this little thing.

"The General is really hard working. Leto looked pleased. "The Bins have agreed, and the church is sending people over. After discussing some details, an agreement should be reached. I didn't expect this to end up between us and the Hama...... But......" He looked like he wanted to say something.

"Oh, Lord Duke, what's wrong?" Beller asked casually, casting a meaningful glance at Robin.

"That's right, according to the agreement, we will withdraw the army from this area and 'lend' it to the Bin. In fact, it is not only Mir City, in order to allow the Bins to move with peace of mind, we have given up a lot of areas along the way, evacuated a lot of troops and people, and surrendered many important strongholds to the Bin......"

"You know that in order to dispel the suspicions of the Bin, this is an indispensable condition. This time Robin saw it all. Isn't this nonsense? If you continue to guard the key positions with heavy troops, how can the Binzu dare to leave the territory and move?

"This natural ...... However, to deliver such an area to the Hama people...... It's hard to be reassuring...... Don't you say?" not to mention Beller this time, even Robin saw something wrong in Leto's flickering words.

"Lord Duke means ......," Beller pretended not to understand.

"Your Majesty the King hopes that you can be here to monitor the dynamics of the Bin. We fear that instead of attacking the vampires, the Hamas will take over the area...... This is equivalent to sending them a fortified city, a bunch of fortresses, and countless checkpoints for no reason, and things will become very troublesome......"

"The Hama wouldn't be that stupid. If the time comes to talk about force, they ......" Robin cried out, but immediately understood his faux pas. Beller and Leto looked at each other - Leto was disgusted, and Bayor was helpless.

"Robin, get out of the way. Bayrell said.

Robin obediently walked out of the room, and it was a long time before he saw Bayor come out of the room.

"Robin, look, did I guess it all?" Beller didn't look angry, but asked Robin with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" asked Robin, puzzled this time. He really couldn't see the logic behind it.

"Robin, have you noticed that letters are often sent to me, even when I'm away?"

"General, you ...... Sent a spy to inquire about the Ryans?" it dawned on Robin.

"Spy? What spy! I'm the Acting Governor of Mill City appointed by the Kingdom of Ryan, and I'm a perfectly legitimate official official! Have you ever seen an official send a spy to his own country? It's ridiculous. Bayral had a hurt look on his face. "I just asked a friend to inquire about the situation. ”
