Section 112 Crisis

The whole process was much smoother than expected. The originally planned arduous siege did not happen, and it can even be said that there was no battle at all. However, when the army lined up in a square formation and appeared under Meno City, not only did there be no garrison troops on the top of the city, but on the contrary, someone quickly opened the city gate.

At that time, Robin was a little hesitant, afraid that this was a cunning trap, but Beller directly ordered "enter into the city". He did not even use the word "siege", but only "enter into the city". The facts also proved Beller's judgment. Meno did not resist at all, but welcomed the arrival of Ryan's army. In just half a day, the Rangers completely controlled the small town.

"Sir, this is..." Beller and Robin walked into the room. This was a big room, maybe it was a conference room or something, but now there is only one table in the room, and a metal ring they had never seen before was placed in the middle of the table.

"Will the vampire use this thing to convey commands?" Beller was quite interested in this thing. Robin also observed it carefully. The color of this thing looks bronze, but some sections have a silver luster. On this ring, there are some incomprehensible symbols and imprints. If you see this thing elsewhere, Robin will probably regard it as a component of a larger machine.

"Yes." The man who brought them here nodded and bowed. This one was the sheriff in the city. In fact, Robin was very disdainful of these people. They served the Count during the reign of Earl Cassek. After the vampire came, they changed to vampire service. When the Rangers came to the city, they opened the city gate again.

Of course, Robin knew very well that if these people did not open the city gate, it would not be delayed for long. Belarel had indeed conceived (although Belarel did not say it, Robin knew that he must be sure) the strategy of siege. With such a small city that lacks military strength and defensive facilities, it cannot withstand the attack of the Rangers.

"How do you use this thing?" Berel continued to ask. No matter how you look, you can't see any switches in this ring.

"At a fixed time every day, the illusion of a vampire will appear here." The sheriff replied. "This should be some kind of magic. The illusion can talk to us, listen to our reports, and give orders."

"This is really interesting..." Beller looked at the ring and pondered.

"Sir, do you want to take this thing away as a spoil?" Robin saw that Beller was a little interested in this thing.

"No...Robin, do you think vampires will use this thing to communicate with us again?" Berel seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's unlikely." Robin replied. "Since the right to use this thing is completely in the hands of the vampire, he should give up decisively. Unless he intends to surrender... Of course, he cannot surrender, and surrender is a dead end."

"That's right." Berel agreed. "Even if we want to talk to him, it's impossible." He scratched his hair, showing a embarrassed expression.

"Sir, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing... By the way, Robin, did you ask the magician to bring my letter to Leto?"

Using magic communication is a much faster method than sending messages by fast horses and carrying messages by pigeons. If you have any disadvantages, it is that there are too few magicians that cannot be promoted and can only be used in the most critical places. Of course, ordinary people can use scrolls with a little training, but scrolls are also made by magicians and are also expensive and scarce.

"Is it your letter that His Highness Leto should not go out of the battle rashly?"

"It's that letter. I said that I would notify our prince as soon as possible."

"It has been notified." Robin knew that the letter was very important. In the case where they had such a great advantage, avoiding head-on combat became a better choice. Now, the vampire is in a dilemma. If he continues to stare at Leto's main force, it is equivalent to condoning the Rangers to act at will. Sivania has very weak troops everywhere, and although the Rangers only have thousands of people, it is enough to cause a fatal threat. If he chooses to raid the Rangers, it is equivalent to giving up the only favorable terrain. When Leto comes to the plain where the troops can fully expand, the overall situation is determined.

In other words, this battle has formed an extremely favorable strategic situation.

It is precisely for this reason that after Beller possessed Meno, he wrote this letter in particular. The contents of the letter were naturally long-winded, but the whole thing was that, so as not to let Leto, who lacked military experience, rush up his blood for a moment, and have a decisive battle with the vampires in the narrow terrain that was not conducive to the army's development.

"Well, this way... the following things will be easier." Berel said easily. At this time, they had already walked out of the room and stood in the warm spring sunshine. "There is only a need to strengthen defense below to avoid the vampire coming to the door if they get tired of it..." He said softly in a tone of talking to himself.

Now, Ashu Rufate should be furious there. No, maybe not... a smart person would not be angry with meaninglessness.

"General," Robin interrupted his thoughts. "I want to ask, how did you come up with this excellent solution? How did you... think of this way to deal with that half beast?"

"The calculation is just to infer based on the idea of ​​'the other party is a smart person'." Berel replied. "But when it comes to grasping... I'm not sure. It should be said that this is just a result that cannot be determined. It is like throwing a six-sided dice." When saying this, Berel's face, which was too ordinary to be more ordinary, had a chilling smile. "I can't be sure what it is, but no matter how many it is, it meets my needs."

Of course, this smile was a flash in the pan and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Robin almost thought it was his own illusion.

"But you correctly judged that vampires used half beasts to monitor that area! And in such a large mountainous area, only six spies were sent to lure half beasts away with snacks..."

"Haha, the logic is actually very simple, it's just a question of whether to dare to think about it. First of all, I estimate the combat power of both sides. The answer is that our army has the advantage. In this case, the vampire must cherish every force of his own and will not do such stupid things as division of troops to defend. At the same time, because of the trap, it becomes very dangerous for the half beasts to inquire about our army's camp... In this case, sending half beasts to monitor the mountainous areas has become a very rational and natural choice. Haha... Maybe his initial plan was to use half beasts to deliver messages, and then run for a long distance, and catch the Rangers here off guard."

"No, I'm not driving you away." Ashu Rufate shook his head. "But... I'm afraid I won't need your service again."

"Mimilu doesn't understand!" Mimilu's heart suddenly became full of fear, and Ashu Rufat was furious and better than this.
