The autumn rain has been falling for a day and a night.

Autumn in the south is not as dry as in the north, but rather a soggy coolness. Robin stood in front of the eaves, quietly watching the rain curtain fall from the eaves like beads.

"Your Excellency, General. He turned his head and came to Béral, who was struggling to write. "The dim sum is getting cold. ”

"Well, wait a minute. Bayral didn't lift his eyelids. Beller's eyes were bloodshot because of the night's sleepless night, but he didn't even stop. In front of him was the fruit of this period of hard work, pieces of paper filled with dense words. "Almost, and a little bit later. ”

This "last bit" is not an excuse, and about ten minutes later, Bayral suddenly slammed his pen the table.

"It's done!" he let out a cry of relief or satisfaction, and sat back down. The force that had held him up suddenly faded, and Beller's face was exhausted, and he leaned back, leaned back against the back of his chair, and closed his eyes.

Robin looked at Bayer uneasily, and during this time, Bayral was completely oblivious to other things and focused on writing about this thing. And Robin didn't even know what it was for. Didn't the Shogun say that he already had a strategic approach?

"What are these, my lord?"

"A tactical scheme of fighting vampires. Bayral opened his eyes and smiled.

"Hey, haven't you already set a strategy......"

"Strategy is strategy. Robin, strategy is actually very simple, just a choice of general direction. Of course, it seems simple, but it is difficult to make the right judgment in practice. It's not gambling, you can 'buy big and buy small' as you like. The strategy I proposed earlier to let the Binzu deal with vampires, although it will not be wrong to conceive in the general direction, but there are too many difficulties in the specific implementation details. ”

"Didn't you say it, give enough conditions......"

"That's just a general talk. Bayral replied. "All plans, at the very end, rely on details to put into practice. Anyone who talks on paper is very simple. Do you remember the tactical exercise I did with Ashrufat?"

"Yes. "Is that Ashrufat really a vampire? or was it just an accidental name? He had laughed, talked, eaten, and drank, but his teeth were normal. Aren't all vampires fanged? Could it be that Ashrufat pulled out his own fangs in order to impersonate humans?

"Well, although I easily won him multiple times in a row on paper. But if the two of us really led an army in this battle, I wouldn't have won more than seventy percent. The reason why this is the case is because there are problems with details. It can be perfect strategically, the best choices can be made, but it can't be perfect in the details. ”

"But...... What does that have to do with you writing these things?"

"Robin, you say, why would the Men agree to attack Sivania?

"Of course it'......" Robin was dumbfounded, realizing that he couldn't speak. For the simple reason that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they should probably be happy to watch the vampires take over Sivania and weaken the Ryans. Although this is not a devastating blow to the Kingdom of Ryan, it is better than nothing, isn't it?

"That's because people have desires and people have fears. For the Ryan people, the Hama are a nuisance, because they live in a critical area. Once the Hama clan becomes strong, no matter which direction it develops, it will endanger the core area ruled by the Ryans. This is a fundamental conflict of interest, so no matter what the armistice, the mediation of the Church, or whatever, can really live in peace between the two sides. This struggle must only end if one side completely submits to the other. Therefore, the Ryan people spared no effort to attack the Binshi tribe again and again, if the two sides want to make peace, there is only one possibility!"

"What is possible?" Robin couldn't help but blurt out.

"Migrate!" replied Bayral. "The whole Hama moved away. In this case, peace is really possible. ”

"What do you mean......" Robin finally understood.

"So my strategy is a good choice for Ryan. They had lost Sivania and had no strength to regain it. Therefore, giving something that is not your own to others is a completely costless business. As for the ...... of the Hama"

Bayel paused. "The Ryan people are not sure to defeat the Bin, but the Binns are even less sure of victory. If peace can be sought, it is exactly what the Bins can't ask for. And if you move to Sivania, first of all, the geographical conditions immediately become easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the area is not fully developed enough to accommodate a huge population...... But that's not enough to convince the Hama to deal with the vampires!"

He held out three fingers. "First, make the Bins feel that the proposal is sincere, not a trap. Second, the Bins need to be taught that they can easily defeat the vampires. Third, let them understand...... The war with the Ryan people will be lost, and the only way to escape the fate of destruction is to relocate. ”

"Look. Béral pointed to the table as he ate his snack. "This is what was prepared to solve the second problem. I believe that this should be able to convince the Hama. ”

"How easy is it to defeat the vampire?, but my lord...... In that case, why don't you let the Ryan defeat the vampires first, and then deal with the Bin?"

"Because it's not a quick fix. Bayral replied. "But if that vampire is the same person as Ashrufat we've seen, what will he do...... By the way, Robin, is there any news from Sivania?"

It must be noted that since Sivania and Ryan mainland are separated by mountains. The mountains prevent armies from crossing them, but they can't stop specially trained solo pedestrians. Therefore, it is relatively easy to send spies to Sivania to convey the enemy's information.

"General, what kind of news do you want?"

"The dynamics of vampires. What has he done lately?"

"It was as if he had completely demolished the excavation site. It is said that some kind of magic was used to cause a strong earthquake that caused the mountain to fall. Then on that land, he used his magic to create a castle for himself. ”

"What else?"

"He used his magic to cause an earthquake!Lord General, a powerful earthquake that even the mountains collapsed!" Robin didn't understand Baylor's calmness at all. If you put this ability on the battlefield...... You don't have to think about it to know what a terrible consequence it will be.

"So what?" said Beller with a slight smile. "It must be very restrictive and difficult to reproduce. Otherwise, he will retain this ability and use it to surprise us. No, it should be said that he would immediately use this power to attack Mill City. He should be very aware of the true military strength of Mir City at this moment, once the city wall collapses in the earthquake, then with his huge undead army, it will not be a problem to conquer this city. If that kind of magic could be used at will, we wouldn't be here a long time ago. Since he used that kind of strength to show off instead of using it on the battlefield, it illustrates the essence of the paper tiger. Tell me something else, what else have vampires been doing during this time?"

"Well, he seems to be sweeping away scattered independent villages and towns. And near his castle, the site of the excavation site, a new city was built. He took all the captives from those places and settled them in the new city. ”

"Build a new city?" said Beller's face.

"Or a ghetto. Robin hastened to explain. "He didn't build walls, he just brought them together to form a market town. Although there were many small towns and villages in Sivania where fugitives, smugglers, adventurers, and robbers gathered, they were not under the rule of the lords from the beginning. It is because of this that so many necromancers who use dark magic are gathered there, giving vampires a great opportunity. ”

"Necromancer...... Although the church tries to spread the word about how evil black magic is, it can never change the fact that black magic can indeed prolong the life of human beings and cure many incurable diseases. It is precisely because of this that there are always people in this world who are secretly learning black magic. If I don't talk about this, let me ask you, do vampires gather ordinary humans to form an army?"

"The total population of Sivania is less than 100,000!

"That's right...... Therefore, his armed strength can only rely on the undead army. Bayral replied. "It's funny, since the Battle of Callean, I never thought I'd be able to fight the Undead again......" he said, but his frown made it clear that what he was saying was not the same thing as what he was thinking.

"My lord, is the Undead Legion terrifying?"

"It should be said that the Blood Knights are terrifying. The vast desert is the battlefield where the Blood Knights excel. The Undead Legion itself is just an aid and supplement to the Blood Knights. Béral closed his eyes, as if reminiscing about the past. "Vampire tactics aren't complicated. The undead legions pinned down our forces from the front under the cover of magic, while the Blood Knights made flank detours or assaults from behind. But there is absolutely no way to counter or confront it. ”

"Then you ......" Robin actually wanted to ask how Bayrell won in the first place.

"I wasn't a battlefield victory, I just survived a brutal war of attrition. There was no skill in that war, and it was not a victory for me. Of course, it is not appropriate to say this, winning is winning, and there is absolutely nothing shameful in using one's own advantages to drag down and wear down the enemy, and this is the right way to war. But in my heart...... Robin, I've been wiped out by the vampires more than once, and I've been lucky enough to escape by the blood knights' swords more than once...... It wasn't a good memory. ”

Bayral suddenly began to smile, then muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear. "But...... This time, the Scarlet Duke was alone. He didn't have the invincible Blood Knights to back him up, nor did he have the vast desert to deploy his legions. In the complex terrain of the south, the human army has a great advantage. ”

"By the way, General, I've been wondering just now, how can the Hama Clan believe that this is not a trap?"

"I've given them an idea. This time Bayral didn't hide much. "The key is in the church. The church has mediated a war between the two sides and concluded a peace treaty in the past, so if the church comes forward to vouch, it can be trusted. At the same time, the church has just suffered a major blow, and it needs the support of the Ryan people, both financially and manpower...... So I believe there is a good chance of success. But," Beller burst into a loud laugh. "It's going to take quite a bit of time for sure. I'd love to know the expression of the vampire at this moment...... He was probably overwhelmed by the delay in the crusade against the army. If the enemy comes early, it will make people uneasy, and if the enemy does not come late, it will also make people panic. ”
