"Well, I won!" Yilan looked at his companion with some smugness. The latter was silent and did not look very pleasant.

The dense squad formed the mortal wound of Ryan's army. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, and the more dense the phalanx of the army on the defensive, the better. And everyone knows that vampires don't have ranged troops, let alone artillery. There's nothing wrong with tight formations.

But now, this not-so-wrong thing has led to a fatal injury. The formation of the Ryan infantry was so dense and thick that there was no need for special aiming, and a casual shot could ensure a certain hit.

On the picture, the results of this round of shelling have been clearly shown. This round of shelling, thousands of people died. The firepower of the Swift Wind Cannon was indeed very powerful, powerful enough to change the tide of battle at once and shake the courage and confidence of the whole army in battle.

Those human gunners loyal to the vampires began to prepare for the second round of firing. It can be seen that they are not very skilled in handling this new artillery, and the speed of filling shells is slow. But no matter how slow it is, they will definitely be able to fill up and prepare for the next round of launches in ten minutes.

"Hey. After a long time, the gray cloak finally spoke. "I'll admit, women's instincts sometimes work. ”

"Ha Luha, so you can't underestimate women. Ylan replied. "Below...... No problem. Help me inform Bernando so that he can flee immediately...... He must have prepared his way to escape, right?"

"This time you lost the fight, why do you look happier than you won. The gray cloak shrugged.

"Ha Luha, because it's just a game that doesn't matter to us. Ylang replied. "Does it matter who wins or loses?"

"It's about us getting ...... AI"

"Don't kid yourself, the committee never expected to get AI. We're just trying to make a small attempt. A small attempt without affecting our overall plans. Ylan shook her head. "It must be said that the heart of the piano is really ...... Death will not allow us to live in peace. Her vision is indeed accurate, and I have basically given up hope of taking the artificial intelligence...... At least not by negotiation. ”

"Didn't you say last time you were going to make a second attempt at negotiation?" replied the gray cloak. "I thought you were very confident! Wasn't the goal of this war to drive Ashrufat into a corner, and then force him to accede to our demands?

"Last time was last time, and now is now. Seeing the grave spirits, Ashrufat would rather allow a ghoul to bite his flesh with his foul mouth...... To say that such a man used external force to bring him to his knees, I think it is almost impossible. The threat shouldn't be of any use to him, it will only provoke the toughest backlash. ”

"Temptation doesn't work...... The threat is not ......," the gray cloak turned around and walked out. "Well, I'll let Bernando know, but I don't think there's much hope of him escaping in this case. Knowing that Lu Dao had warned him not to go to the battlefield. ”

In the room, Yilan was the only one left watching this picture.

In front of her, everything on the battlefield is clear, and there are no secrets at all. She could clearly see all the movements of both sides of the war. Ashrufat had pressed all the remaining forces forward. The Grave Guard launched a fierce assault on the enemy's central infantry group from the diagonal thorns, while the Black Knight struck the rear line of the left flank, already overwhelmed by ghouls. This front was very thin, and it barely survived by relying entirely on the fire support of the long-range troops in the rear.

On the other hand, the momentum of the knights' assault was finally contained. The corpse cart mixed in with the zombie horde played a mainstay role. These corpse carriers act as magnets for dark magic, absorbing the energy of dark magic from the ground and air and infusing them into the zombies around them. With the support of the magical energy of the corpse car, the fragile zombies, which originally lacked the ability to cooperate, became a bit threatening. Whenever they enter melee combat, zombies can suddenly launch an attack with supernatural speed. Despite the knights' excellent armor, this slows them down considerably.

The image suddenly disappeared.

"Is it over?" Ilan whispered to herself. She sat quietly. It was a long time before the gray cloak came in from the outside.

"Oh, is it over?" the gray cloak didn't show any particular surprise. "Anti-jamming high-speed communication devices for satellites...... Is it the end of life?" He said with some regret as he looked at the center of the room where the screen was still displayed. "It's a pity that we won't be able to look at it in such a comfortable way anymore. In the future, you will only be able to see satellite telemetry photos once every fifteen minutes. The committee doesn't have the capacity to make chips of that caliber yet, and even if they did, they wouldn't make them. ”

"But it doesn't make much sense anymore. Yilan replied with a smile. "The big picture is decided. ”

"That's right, the big picture is decided. The gray cloak replied. "The last news I received was that the Scarlet Duke, led by the Black Knights, had routed the musketeers and headed straight for Leto. Leto, on the other hand, abandoned the army and fled with Bernando. This news can only be concealed for a short time, and then it will lead to a large-scale rout of the entire army. However, it is believed that the knights will fight to the end, in exchange for Bernando a precious opportunity to escape. The Scarlet Duke should give priority to the siege and annihilation of the Knights. ”

"There aren't many people who can't escape that way. But it's not particularly important. Ylan replied. As she spoke, she tilted her head back and looked at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression on her face. "I'm thinking of a plan. I had an idea to maybe use this method...... Let's get artificial intelligence from the hands of Ashrufat. ”

......

"Quick, Your Highness!" shouted the attendant who had led it. "Everything is normal, hurry up. ”

This was the escape route that Leto had his men check before. In fact, it is an extremely narrow stone crevice between the peaks, which can only be passed sideways by one person. Leto originally had to send a few people to understand the details of this path just for Bernando's request, but he didn't expect that this unintentional move would become his only chance at the moment.

At the other end of the purple stone, across the woods, the hustle and bustle of the battlefield has not yet calmed down. But Leto no longer cared about the others, and he had only one thought now, and that was to escape as soon as possible. He no longer hopes for honors and victories, and his only hope is life. What would happen to the vampires, Leto had no hope.

The rope was still there, but it was harder for Leto to climb up. He's not the kind of fighter who works out all day, and he's not young anymore. His arm strength was too strong for him to climb on such a rope alone.

The shouts from the rear were getting closer. This indicates that other scattered defeated soldiers are fleeing this way, in other words, the pursuers are coming.

"You!" Leto ordered one of the guards beside him, urgently. "Go up, and two more people will pull me up together. ”

There were only five or six people around him now. Two of his closest personal guards, the one who led the way, a recorder, and Bernando, the high priest of the church. He gave up everything else, his army, his minions, his horses, weapons, armor, his self-confidence, his pride, his future, his honor, his prestige, in exchange for this chance to escape.

The guards responded in response. The guard was still wearing chain mail, but that didn't stop him from climbing up in three or two clicks. Then the two of them pulled the rope together and tried to pull Leto up.

"Your Highness, the vampire is coming!" Belnando urged in an anxious voice.

"Vampires?" Leto asked incredulously. The sound of fighting in the distance still resounded in the sky, and the lieutenant general he left behind was still organizing troops to resist the worst of the time. The other troops may not be worth relying on, but the Knights will definitely delay enough time for him. How did a vampire come here?

"I feel it, Your Highness, I locked him with my magic, so I know where he is going. He's coming!" Bernando's voice was half anxious and half fearful.

Leto couldn't take care of it anymore. He threw away the last few things on his body that might be in the way, then grabbed the rope with both hands and shouted to the top, "Pull me up." ”

The two men struggled to pull Leto up, then dropped the rope again. At this moment, a bloodthirsty roar was suddenly heard in the woods, and then, a beastly vampire rushed out.

Seeing this situation, the remaining three people could no longer care about the order of humility or status. The guard kicked the recorder away, then elbowed Bernando in the head. After both of them were knocked down, he grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up. Driven by fear, he climbed as fast as he could fly.

Bernando watched as the other man leapt up and then disappeared between the cracks in the rocks. He didn't have time to regret it or anything, and as soon as he got up, he found himself surrounded by himself.

It was an absolutely lethal encirclement.

A bestial vampire, several ghouls, a small group of grave guards, and, most deadly, a vampire in blood-colored armor and armed with a two-handed sword. The vampire's longsword was stained with shredded flesh and blood, and the cold light in his eyes under the helmet was simply breathtaking.

Bernando glanced at the top of his eyes - but Leto wouldn't stop here, no matter how stupid he was. He sighed, but instead calmed down, awaiting his inevitable fate. When the situation was like this, he gave up the idea of survival, and if there was any regret in his heart, that is, he failed the heavy responsibility entrusted by the gods, and not only failed to destroy the vampire, but lost himself.

"You're the one who locked me in with magic?" the vampire asked him suddenly.

"It's me. Bernando replied. He was too hopeless to be saved, so he gave up. The body that was so nervous just now actually relaxed at this moment.

"How did you lock me? I've never seen you. ”

"The gods have given me this strength. Bernando replied. He saw the vampire coming towards him step by step. If he could still use a spell, maybe he would try to blitz with magic to see if he could kill the vampire. But at the moment he couldn't do anything but watch as the vampire walked up to him and looked him up and down.
