"Your Excellency Bernando. As he spoke, Bayral lifted the curtain door and entered the tent, Robin following him. In the tent, a man in a purple cloak sat on a chair that made up all the furniture in the tent, along with a simple small table and a camp bed. He didn't seem to hear Beller's voice, and remained motionless in a posture of an old monk. Beller seemed unimpressed, and stood motionless at the entrance.

It wasn't until Robin began to wonder if something was wrong with the other party that the priest named Bernando finally opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Bernando began. "I was meditating just now. What are you doing with me, Lord Bayrell?"

"How's the vampire doing?"

"I don't know what to do. Bernando replied. "Why are you asking me about this kind of thing? This kind of thing you should ask the Bin...... For example, Grand Elder Kedasa. ”

Bayral smiled slightly. "There is no one else here, dear Lord Priestess. I know you can sense vampires. So I want to know where the vampires are. ”

"That's the strength God has given me. I could only sense him, but I couldn't tell what he was doing. Bernando replied. "Just to help me find vampires at all times, that's all. ”

"Oh," said Beller, looking at the other man, "may I ask you which way the priests plan to take when they retreat?"

This time, Bernando's face was visibly shaken.

"Retreat? What do you mean? Aren't we marching all the way?"

"Oh, that's something I believe the church always has to think about. After all, there is a possibility of defeat. Beller was smiling, but Bernando's face was decidedly unpretty.

"Your Excellency, please don't make such jokes. The other man tugged at his cloak. "I'm still going to meditate. If you don't have anything else to do, get out of here. ”

Receiving this unceremonious eviction order, Bayrell made a gesture helplessly, and then turned around and left the tent.

"My lord, you just ...... suddenly" Leaving the tent and coming to a position where no one was around, Robin asked eagerly. He really couldn't understand what Bayrell was here for.

"Robin, the war is coming to an end. Bayrell looked at Robin with a smile. "You can feel that. ”

"Well, you've said that as long as the Hams arrive in Sivania, the vampires will have no choice but to fight a decisive battle. Robin asked eagerly. "Who will win?"

"I don't know what to do. Bayral had an innocent expression. "But if I were to press the stakes, then I would be on the side of the Scarlet Duke. ”

"For what?" Robin remembers very well, Baylor had carefully analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides for him before, and thought that the Hamburgh had a good chance of winning. Could it be that Lord Beller has amnesia and has forgotten all about the past (although Beller speculates that the vampire has a trump card, the trump card is still missing).

"There is a fundamental problem. Bayral replied. "The Hama must be defeated. As they said this, they came to a small hillside. There is no one nearby, and standing here, you can see the camp built by the Hama tribe in the distance.

"My lord, please don't sell it. "Robin just can't take it anymore. The vampire didn't show his trump card!

"Robin, do you understand politics?" Beller asked abruptly. "As a general, you should have a little sense of politics, otherwise you are likely to be cut down by a subordinate on the way home. You don't want to end up like this, do you?"

"My lord, you have changed the subject again. Robin shouted. "You haven't told me what the hell happened. ”

"Well, let's put it this way, there are people who don't want the Hama clan to win. Bayral replied. "In fact, there are 'many' people who don't want the Hama to win. ”

"Who?" Robin asked subconsciously, stunned.

"The Church, the Ryans, and some other inexplicable guys. Bayral replied. "I'm afraid the Binzu will not be able to escape this fate. There was some regret in his voice. "The best outcome is that some of the remaining Hama people after the war are controlled by Ryan and scattered and migrate. Twenty years, in just twenty years, the Binzu will become a historical term, and will only be mentioned by a few scholars. ”

"Sounds pathetic, Robin. Baylor's voice was full of helplessness and a certain inexplicable cruelty. "The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, but they had to be stabbed in the back. But they are helpless about this situation. ”

"Lord Bayor, what are you doing...... You suddenly say this...... "Perhaps startled by Béral's words, Robin stammered a little.

"The interests of all sides are entangled. In other words, when the Bins were persuaded to conquer Sivania, their fate was sealed. Since then, they have been pawns on a chessboard, at the mercy of the players, with no chance to escape. Bayrell shrugged. "But let's be honest, we are one of the masterminds of this tragedy. ”

A smile appeared on Baylor's face, but it made Robin shudder. It was half fox, half leopard smile, dangerous, cunning, cruel and full of malice, and he never expected such an expression on Beller's face.

"Robin, don't you understand? I ask you, why would the Hama believe that the Ryans wouldn't attack them from behind?"

Because the church has made public guarantees. Robin hesitated, but replied anyway.

"That's right, the church came forward because Ryan and the church had some kind of private deal. But in any case, on the surface, the church will not allow its immaculate reputation to be harmed, and it will never allow the Ryan to easily betray the agreement. Well, as it turns out, I didn't take these factors into account at the beginning, and I thought it would be easy to find an excuse to go to war...... Don't talk about this. In short, the perfect outcome for the church was the defeat of the Hama by the vampires. They both closed the deal and got rid of all the blame. After all, the capture of Sivania is itself dangerous. Do you understand?"

"Church...... But ......"

"And for the Ryans, it doesn't really make a difference whether they're the most defeated vampires or the Hamas. If you have to choose, Vampires are a more suitable opponent. This is because, on the one hand, there is no problem in terms of the excuse for starting a war, and secondly, vampires do not have the ability to defend the city, and the Bins have, and the undead legions can't be bought, and the Bins can. This subtle distinction determines that they are also inclined to the defeat of the Bin...... Then absorb the remnants of the Binzu and strengthen themselves. ”

"Oh, General, what do you know about this?"

"Leto wrote to me, and he warned me to leave quickly. Bayral laughed. "That person is not bad, he finally didn't turn his face and didn't recognize anyone...... Of course, he also has a plan. Bayral replied.

"So, what do you think is going to happen next?"

"I don't know why, but I think it's likely that it was an opportunity to bribe some of the people of the Hama clan by following the internal discontent caused by Kedassa's stupidity. Evacuate the battlefield at a critical moment in the decisive battle...... Probably so. Of course, there may be other possibilities, but I don't care about that. What I need to know is that we won't be in danger if we follow Bernando. ”

"Why?"

"Because he's an ace. It doesn't matter if the other priests are dead (there are magicians in the church anyway), but Bernando uses some kind of magic to lock down the vampires. He's the key to the post-war search for vampires and eradicating the roots, so he's definitely fine. We must keep an eye on this priest, and if he wants to run, we must follow. ”

"And the other priests...... Are they all going to be sacrificed? Don't the Hama have a chance?"

"If you want to talk about opportunities, there are always them. If the Hama had a good and wise leader, who could unite all their forces and unite as one, they would defeat the vampires in a decisive battle......" He didn't finish his words, but the regret in his voice made his opinion clear.

In fact, even in Robin's eyes, Kedasa was not the one who matched Baylor's request.

......

Eric stopped and looked back.

The path went more smoothly than he expected. Due to the presence of that dragon, this area is completely no man's land. That dragon was a third-party existence that no one wanted to provoke, and even in this big war, the Bins didn't have too much wariness of this path.

A beast with wings, a thousand miles a day, and enough wisdom. If such a guy becomes an enemy, I don't know how tricky it is. The official account makes this clear—the Ryan sent troops against the dragon several times, but they were helpless, and instead suffered heavy losses. In the end, as a last resort, he had no choice but to compromise and acquiesce in the dragon's occupation and control of this mountainous area.

But now that I think about it, the dragon should be dead. In any case, from here it was entered into the enemy's territory, and it can even be said that it was the enemy's base.

Eric settled down, and immediately drove away all doubts and vacillations in his heart. He was a strong-willed man, but this was the first time he had fought for a vampire. And he knew that his choice would determine the outcome of this war. If he chooses to betray the vampire, then the vampire's plan is completely over.

It's strange why the vampire thinks so highly of him? Although he relied on his military exploits in Shim and came to the position of general step by step, he was only a deputy general and did not have the power to command the army alone. And after he was relegated to West Sylvania, he never expected to make a comeback.

"How's it going?" he asked the people around him. Two of these people are dark magicians. Strangely enough, though, the vampires did not send these two dark mages to spy on him, but instead made them completely obey his orders in case of magical support in the event of war.

"Everything was fine, no problem. Several subordinates replied. These people are half mercenaries and half vampire subordinates. However, Eric cannot guarantee their loyalty. This was a short period of time enough for him to get acquainted with his troops (the vampires didn't give him temporary command, but gave them to him entirely), but there was no way to know much more. Eric wouldn't be surprised if one of them snuck away and reported to the Hamma. But he had a certain instinct that vampires weren't so simple as sending a loyal army to carry out such an important battle.

He shook off this thought, and since he had decided, he didn't regret it, just do what he could.
