Section 95 Self-error
Kedasa said he didn't know anything. He said he was not obligated to keep grain or grass or anything else for others. He also said that if a person loses his belongings because of poor care, then he is responsible for it himself, not his neighbors. ”
"That bastard! The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow we are going to fight the vampire, and he still treats us like this! Let my soldiers go to war hungry?!"
In a fit of rage, Damon tore the letter that Kedasa had given him to shreds. His soldiers had run out of food, and in fact tonight's dinner was their last food. If we don't get supplies, everyone will be hungry starting tomorrow.
"Call the captain to come to me. Damon ordered loudly. "Go!"
The captain who had gone to ask for the food quickly arrived. The seven chiefs explained the whole story to the captain in detail—in fact, everyone knew it. In fact, things are simple, it's just that Kedassa is deliberately making things difficult.
"He wants us to go to war and die for him, but he makes us hungry! He doesn't treat us as compatriots at all, but here we think about how to protect him......" someone said suddenly. "I think what we just considered is ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous?"
"What are we here for in West Vania? Our tribes are inherently independent, and there is no need to care about others! Qedasa treats us as outsiders, but we treat him as relatives? Hot face sticks to cold ass? Think about it, what happened to Paine after he died?!"
Paine was a great elder of the Hama clan with considerable power. However, his position is relatively independent, and he is neither on the side of Kedasa nor Damon. In the previous war, Paine's reckless lone army went deeper, only to be ambushed by vampires, almost all of his troops were wiped out, and he himself died on the battlefield.
It was a tragedy, but it was far less tragic than what happened after that. Paine's tribe was immediately plundered, and the entire tribe was quickly divided among the people and property of the tribe by all means. Less than seven days after Paine's death, his tribe ceased to exist. In response to other people's accusations, Kedasa naturally said that "since they can no longer protect themselves, then only capable people can protect them." Anyway, he is now the one with the most power in the Bin clan, and he has the support of at least half of the elders and the great elders, and he is in a time of war, so other people who can't look down on it are helpless.
"It's time for us to decide! whether to follow Kaidaza, risk our family being killed by vampires, and fight a hopeless war, even if we win, we will only get a little bit of the scraps that Kaidasa threw at us. Or another way, a much safer and completely certain path. We can save our families and get a suitable piece of land to live in. And this method, except for the bad reputation, is no different from what we originally hoped for!"
Damon gritted his teeth. Suddenly, he made up his mind.
"Guys, what do you think? He said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, one after the other. No one spoke, no one spoke, and all answered the question with silence.
"If we make a decision, there is no possibility of going back!" he repeated. There was still silence. Kedasa's stupidity was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Okay, then we'll make a decision. But let me explain," Damon's voice became cold, like a night wind, and a chill penetrated into his heart. "Whoever wants to object, please explain it at this moment. If you decide to regret it later, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He waited a long time, but no one answered.
"Let's go," Damon said to everyone. At this time, the commotion in the barracks is still there, and it is indeed time to stabilize the morale of the army. "Gather the mid-level officers and inform us of our decision. If anyone objected...... his voice was sharper than a knife blade this time. "That must be an undercover agent sent by Kedasa!"
He squeezed the last few words out between his teeth. "No mercy!"
......
The valley was full of soldiers shuttling back and forth.
Kedasa set up his tent here, and except for a part of his forces to prevent the undead legions on the West Vanian line from pursuing him, almost all the rest of the Bin's troops were gathered here. Luckily, the vampire didn't do what he feared most, but waited for him near Mill City. To be honest, it was a little strange to him that the vampire had given up on the dominant situation and was waiting for a battle with him, which made him further convinced that the vampire was not skilled in strategy. It would be stupid to say that Paine had fallen headfirst into a trap before.
As Kedassa had received before, the vampires conquered all of Sivania in one fell swoop because of a surprise attack and objective conditions. In addition, there are some tricks that can't be put on the table, such as espionage, assassination, and the like. In actual combat, the vampire's undead legions are far less formidable than they seem. As long as you don't rush in and don't be greedy, defeating vampires won't be a problem.
Dressed in his robes, Kedassa stood on a high hill. Although it was late at night, he didn't feel sleepy. The final battle is about to begin, and I heard that the vampires are busy arranging their troops and have no spare time to massacre the women and children of the Hama tribe to replenish their troops. This news is incredible, but there are reliable sources. It seems that the vampire is even weaker than expected. 、
Pity...... What a pity...... Kedasa carefully conducted the future war from his own point of view and from the vampire's point of view. He shook his head and let out a sigh for the vampire. After all, he is just a vampire who died in the Battle of Callean, and may have great power, but war is not determined by the strength of an individual. You have reached the door of victory, but you don't know how to push it so hard that it can be opened.
"Your Excellency. A voice rang out, interrupting Kedasa's train of thought. He turned his head and saw a servant dressed in white.
"Grand Elder Damon brought a reply. The servant handed the letter to Kedasa, and then stepped aside respectfully. Kedasa opened the letter and glanced at it slightly.
"That guy ......," he said with a smile, but no one could figure out what he meant.
Damon had already taken his orders and was willing to form a right wing in a decisive battle. It seems that the guy has finally had to give in in to reality. Maybe we should allocate some food...... No, he immediately drove this stupid thought out of the air. No one knows what will happen to Lu Dao in the future, and at the moment food is his magic weapon to control all his subordinates, and it cannot be given to Damon for no reason. Unless Damon swears allegiance to him.
At present, the distance between the two armies will be a decisive battle the day after tomorrow. Damon's obedience gave him another three points to win.
......
Robin jumped over a rock. After two days of recuperation at that outpost (and being well received and cared for), Bayor and Robin had already swept away the fatigue they had accumulated and the whole team seemed to be alive. Now, on the one hand, they are completely in a safe area, and on the other hand, they are not in a hurry, so they are in a mood of enjoying the mountains and rivers to complete the last part of the road.
"Your Excellency!" Robin caught up to Beller. The latter was dismounting and picking a wildflower on the side of the road. Winter turns to spring, and although the wind is not much warmer than winter, the grass and trees have begun to change secretly, indicating the change of seasons.
"Robin, what's the matter?" Beller was visibly in a good mood. "Are you tired? Shall we take a break?"
"Your Excellency, didn't you mean...... Is there probably a showdown between the Hama and the vampires today?"
"In my estimation, it should be about the same today. But we'll get the news soon. "Bayer is also quite interested in this topic. "I reckon the battlefield must be on some empty plain south of Mill City...... No, if I were a vampire, then I would definitely pick a more suitable battlefield. Pure plains are not good enough, preferably a small gentle slope that is insignificant...... Robin, do you want to play war chess?" he asked suddenly.
"Okay. Robin looked left and right, and immediately saw a large flat stone nearby, and if he looked closely, he would see that the stone had been carved by nature's own hands into the shape of a stone table. It's really a good fit.
"Okay, get the pen and paper out. Bayral walked towards the stone table with great interest. "I'll be a vampire, you'll be a kadasa, and see what our final battle will be like. ”
As mentioned earlier, the war chess deduction does not require complicated preparation, so it didn't take much time for the two of them to be ready. Bayral drew the battlefield on paper and marked the terrain. And Robin also followed Bayrell's instructions to prepare the small pieces of paper that replaced the army.
"Let's set up, Lord Beller. Robin picked up a small piece of paper. After living together during this time, he has become familiar with the various forces of the Bin. "I'll set my cannon here. He put down the piece of paper representing the cannon, "My halberd soldiers are going to be lined up here...... My archer...... My Musketeer...... And my hussars...... Very good, I'm done!"
......
"Very well, we're done!" said Kedasa, looking at the enemy in the distance. The army of the Binzu tribe has been transformed from a marching army to a combat formation, and according to the habit since ancient times, it is divided into three roads: left, center, and right. It wasn't surprising that the vampires were stopping him here - it was expected, and it was strange that the vampires had already lined up his undead legion in battle, but they hadn't taken advantage of the Bind array to launch a surprise attack.
Whatever the reason, the move left Kedasa in ecstasy. He was worried that he would be attacked by a surprise attack when he set up the formation, but in fact, the vampire was very graceful and quietly waiting for the Hama to line up, doing nothing.
And the vampires have fewer troops than expected. Within the reach of the naked eye, the undead legion relied on a very gentle slope, and also divided the troops into three lanes: left, center, and right.
On the right flank of the Bin, Damon's gang faced a large phalanx of skeleton warriors. Countless bones were calmly arranged in a neat array, and swords, battle axes, spears, and shields were still held in their hands, which had long been lifeless.
To the left of Kedasa, a number of other independent, non-powerful tribes formed the left flank of the Hamas, and in front of them was a phalanx of ghouls, which were smaller but far more dangerous than the skeleton warriors. Ghouls who couldn't see the edge at a glance gathered together. Far from being as calm as the skeleton warriors, these monsters kept making all kinds of small movements, sometimes getting up, sometimes crouching, restlessly waiting for their undead master's attack orders.
