"Sir, this is the letter of His Majesty the King." Robin said something unnecessary.

"I don't know what tricks our poor Majesty has come up with." Belle was very calm. He opened the letter paper carefully and slowly touched it with his hands to determine if there was another mystery on the letter paper. After doing this preparatory action, Belle opened the letter paper to read the letter, but as he read it, his brows frowned.

"Our king is really a willful request," said Beller.

Robin wanted to ask what was written in the letter, but this time Beller did not ask Robin to read the content as before. He folded the letter, and then carefully threw the envelope and the letter into the fireplace, staring at the piece of paper and turned into ashes under the licking of the flames.

"What's wrong, General?" Robin asked. He had never seen Berel treat a letter so cautiously.

"Our king... sold me." Berel shrugged. "He took an interest-free loan from the Ryans, and at the cost of it, I went to the Ryans' army to serve for a while. I might be the deputy general."

"Deputy General?" Robin was a little confused. If a person like Berel is a deputy, it would be too incompetent. Not to mention that such positions of "borrowing" nature are generally unable to receive rewards. Perhaps because of this reason, the king wrote a letter to comfort Berel.

Of course, from another aspect, even if the defeat is fought, the generals who "borrow" don't have to be responsible. However, Robin does not think that Berell is likely to be defeated. So far, everything has been expected by Berell, without exception.

The letter had just turned into ashes when a knock came from outside the door. Beller and Robin lived in Leto's castle as guests, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

Robin opened the door, and outside was a close follower of Leto. The follower nodded and smiled, bringing a message that Leto wanted to see Beller and clearly proposed "discuss something big."

"You go and report to the Duke, I'll go there right away." Berel replied, and the follower ran away.

"Sir, what will happen if he looks for you?"

"Robin, I'm sure Leto has won the title of the chief general of vampire for himself. Now he is asking me to serve as the deputy general." Berel answered while tidying up his clothes.

Facts proved that Berel's inference was completely correct. Leto and a group of his subordinates were waiting for Berel's arrival in the living room. After a simple conversation, Robin knew that Leto had been appointed as the commander of the vampires, and Berel was appointed as deputy general at the same time. Because he had received the letter from the king and understood the cause and effect of the matter, Berel just politely and humbly agreed to accept the position.

Leto was naturally very happy to see Berel agree so easily. He had refused to accept this position in some cases, because Berel, who was once the commander of the army, was not very suitable as a deputy general. Leto immediately ordered a banquet to wish him and Berel a victory for his victory in his expedition.

At the banquet, everything was as usual, even more enthusiastic than usual, and he raised his glasses to celebrate. However, Robin was with him for a long time and knew all the details of Belar, so he could see that there was a certain worry hidden in Belar's eyes. Of course, he could not ask in this case.

"I wonder what General Berel thinks about this war?" After three rounds of wine, Leto, who was slightly drunk, really brought up this topic.

"If you want to say any tactics, it's actually nothing. According to my opinion, there is only one word: fast." Berel replied, "All the relevant preparations must be completed within a month and the main force must arrive in Mir City, and then you can spend a month defeating the vampire. If possible, fifteen days... to twenty days are the best to launch an attack."

"It's just that?" Leto's expression clearly shows that he was a little unhappy. Perhaps he originally thought that Beller would make a long speech and put forward several clever and excellent tactics that could break out of the general mindset, but it was amazing after coming back to his senses, just like the last plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf.

Robin noticed that the corner of Berel's mouth curled, which was a mocking expression, but if it was someone who was not familiar with Berel, it would be difficult to see it.

"However, in terms of specific details, I have several suggestions that can effectively reduce the combat power of vampires."

"Oh?" This topic immediately aroused Leto's interest. "The Duke must have heard that the vampires did not kill all the civilians of the Bin tribe as we expected to supplement the Immortal Legion, but took them away as slaves. On the other hand, they fully fulfilled their agreement with Damon's several Bin tribe traitors and allowed their tribe to arrive in Sivania safely. What do you think is the obvious inappropriate practice for?"

"this……"

"From the vampire's standpoint, he must have known that after the Bin tribe, Ryan's army may launch an attack at any time. At this time, he should be in urgent need of replenishing the lost troops in the war, right?" Belle continued. "As the saying goes, abnormality is a monster. For evil vampires, this kind of action cannot be explained by "discovery of conscience". It can only be understood as that he hopes to include the remaining Bin tribe's force under his control. If we understand it in this way, it is normal for him to take gentle measures against the Bin tribe. After all, the rebellious Damon's gang should still have about 10,000 troops, and there are enough artillery and musketeers."

Leto nodded thoughtfully. The Immortal Legion almost has no ability to attack long-rangely, but with the cooperation of the Bin clan, it would be equivalent to making up for this shortcoming. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is powerful several times. What's worse is that the Ryans had supported the Bin clan too many cannons and muskets before, which means that the vampire's long-range troops may be extremely powerful.

"So I suggest that I immediately send a reliable envoy to persuade Damon again, at least not to join the war. You can copy all the promises given to him by the vampire, and add some personal promises, such as titles, wealth, etc."

"But the title can only be enthroned by the king..." A man next to him immediately stepped in.

"The messenger only needs to carry Lord Leto's personal token to prove his identity... As for the promise... After all, that's just a promise, right? Just find an excuse when the vampire is defeated in the battle - in fact, it doesn't matter if it doesn't make excuses. The church has been waiting to send him to the stolen stand!" Berel hinted explicitly. His words immediately attracted Leto's laugh.

"I am worthy of being Lord Berel, but you should consider...what if I don't convince you?" I don't know who made up the sentence.

Beller didn't even look at the person who spoke. "A person like Damon who can betray the nation and defect to the vampire can definitely be bought. The only problem is whether the price is appropriate. But even if there is a situation that cannot be convinced, it doesn't matter. If that happens, we will secretly disclose the things that our envoy and he has secretly contacted to the vampire. People like Damon who betrayed once will definitely be wary of. At that time, even in the best case, the vampire will no longer trust him and dare not let him go to the battlefield to cooperate with the Immortal Legion. After all, it is easy to lower the cannon muzzles a little, right?"

"Good solution!" Leto couldn't help but applaud. He didn't need to spend one soldier to prevent the Undead Legion and the Bin clan from being combined.

"Does Lord Berel have any other good ideas?"

"Others... well... I haven't thought about it in a hurry yet, so I need to think about it carefully." Beller ended the topic in a low-key manner.

"Mr. Beller's method is really great, I will start to make arrangements immediately!" Leto was even more happy. "With Lord. Beller's help, I believe we will be able to succeed this time and successfully eliminate the vampires."

Beller turned his gaze away and happened to be in opposition to Robin. Looking at the confusion and confusion in Robin's eyes, Beller just smiled slightly.

...

"Sir, why are the words you just said... completely different from what you said to me a few days ago?" Robin asked in confusion.

The two were now leaning against colorful pillows in Beller's gorgeous room. Leto has re-arranged the room in the past few days. Let Beller and Robin have several other personal guards to be adjacent, so Robin can stay in Beller's room without worrying about ears in the partition wall.

In fact, Beller's alcohol tolerance was not outstanding, so this time he was helped back to the room by Robin.

"I'm just saying something they like to hear." Berel replied drunkenly. "It's just that!"

"This is not in line with the responsibilities of the deputy general?" Robin asked. Since he agreed to be the lieutenant, how could he do such a thing?

"Robin, this is not our war." Berel replied. Although he was so drunk, the brilliance deep in his eyes showed that his mind was not completely swallowed by alcohol. "Tibirio and Ryan are allies... and they are just allies."

Perhaps it was because of alcohol, the next second, Beller's thinking immediately jumped to something new.

"Robin, you say, what are our Great Elder Damon doing now?"

This question is too difficult to answer. After hesitating for a while, Robin replied: "It should be sleeping, right? It's already dark."

"I guess... he is having a nightmare!" Beller said with a half-smile smile on his face, open his hazy corners.

...

Damon's body suddenly bounced from the bed. He reached out to grab the sword, but grabbed a little. Then he came back to his senses and remembered that what had just happened was just a nightmare.

Hu... Hu... Hu... Damon gasped. This was a strange room and a strange bed. Where am I? By the way, this is a city in Via, Sivania. The vampire has promised to enthrone the city and the nearby land to him and make him the hereditary lord here. Of course, his tribe and his people can also settle here safely.
