"Take him back." The vampire turned his head and said to a black magician who had just arrived behind him. "You want to live. If he wants to resist or escape..." He let out a low smile. "I believe he is not so stupid."

The latter gave a tribute to accept the order.

"As for you." The vampire looked at the recorder, who retreated in panic under his eyes, and subconsciously protected the recorder on his body with both hands, and suddenly let out a sound of laughter or a sneer. "I don't want to kill a recorder like you. So I especially allow you to leave. No, not only leave, you can stay, record everything you see before leaving. Remember to get a living horse for him." His last sentence was said to the black magician.

...

In the distance, the walls of Mir City were already looking at. Although they were so tired that they were as if their bones had fallen apart, Robin felt relieved when he saw this. The appearance ahead did not seem to have been attacked by a vampire.

They finally rushed back.

Although Belar said "departing at night", in fact, at noon, he did not receive magic communication from the main army, so he immediately led the entire army to set off. When he set off, Belar also specifically told the officials of Meno that they were going to "liberate the entire territory of Sivania from vampires." Of course, as soon as he left the city, the Ranger immediately retreated desperately along the way he came before.

This was indeed a "desperate" retreat. Beller quickly ordered the discarding of all the extra things in order to return to Mir City as quickly as possible. But all this was not enough. After walking for a while, Beller disliked the infantry's delay in speed and ordered the cavalry and infantry to march separately. After walking for a while, Beller once again ordered a captain to lead the army, and he took Robin and a few people, each of whom was carrying two horses and whipped back. At this moment, everyone was exhausted from one horse, and the other one was trembling with four hooves and foaming in his mouth.

It turned out that everything was worth it. When Beller came to Mir City, it was a time of panic in the whole city. News that Ryan's army was wiped out on the purple stone had already been heard, and Leto's life and death were unknown. Although there were still large camps of troops as advance bases nearby, and a small number of troops were stationed in the camp, they were in chaos and had no leader.

But when Berel came back, the situation was different. When the whereabouts of the main general were unknown, Berel issued an order as a deputy general and quickly took a series of measures. On the one hand, he immediately asked all the remaining troops in the camp to enter the city to prepare for defense, and at the same time took away all the supplies as much as possible, and burned them immediately if they could not be taken away. On the other hand, he immediately flew back to the royal city, reported the news of this crushing defeat, and asked for reinforcements to support. While all this, he also calmed down the people's hearts, strengthened the city defense as quickly as possible, searched for spies, and sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the Immortal Legion, and prepared for the possible arrival of the city defense battle.

The Rangers rushed back one after another on the next day. Although the 3,000-man troops were not at all conspicuous in the past, they have now become life-saving straws. With the addition of this force, Beller finally alleviated the urgent need for the lack of defenders and had the capital and confidence to hold on for a period of time.

In this tense atmosphere, time always passes quickly. But when Robin brought a secret letter to Belar, several days had passed. When he entered Belar's room, Belar was thinking hard against the defense map of the entire city. In the past few days, Robin finally saw the style of being a general, the kind of speech and behavior that was enough to make him the spiritual pillar of the entire army, and he made a bold decision. In the face of the defeat of the army and panic, Belar forced to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers in various ways, so that there were no deserters in Mir City at this moment.

"General." Robin said loudly. After all this, he now had a new understanding of Beller. His voice couldn't help but feel a little respect. "Your letter."

These letters were brought by doves... But Robin had no idea who the sender was.

"Letter?" Beller raised his head, and a surprise flashed in his blood-scarred eyes. Robin handed the letter to him, and Beller immediately opened and read.

"Huh, it seems... the Blood Duke is not going to come here!" Berel let out a long breath and put down the letter. "At least not for the time being. It's great... But I still can't relax my vigilance. He can take a breath and attack again... Robin, is there any other news today? Is there anything new happenings from our scout?"

"Today, only a small number of defeated soldiers were brought back by the scouts, which was similar to the previous few days. Apart from that, the scouts did not find any whereabouts of the Immortal Legion."

"The defeated soldiers are back? Why don't I know? Did they bring any news? For example, Leto's whereabouts? The battle process?"

"This, General, I'll ask them to take a break, eat something, and calm down. I haven't asked these questions yet. If you want to know these are also very simple, General, a record officer came back two days ago."

"Record Officer? The recorder who should stay with the general... How is he doing?"

"In my opinion, he is in a good condition, and is arguably the best among all." Robin replied. "He brought his record book and even had a horse."

"Take him to see me, hurry up." Berel replied. It was surprising that a record officer came back alive. But for Berel, this was very lucky, because the record officer would definitely record everything on the battlefield...

Robin quickly executed the order. The recorder did not let down his duties. Half an hour later, Beller and Robin fully understood the entire battle from the recorder. It must be said that although Robin had already passed Beller's explanation in advance and was mentally prepared, he was actually shocked by Leto's stupidity.

Especially when he learned that Leto finally abandoned his army and fled, Robin found it incredible. He was too young, so he could not accept that a general was not rushing up with the guards at the most critical moment of the battle, but abandoning the soldiers and running away alone, using the soldiers' blood to exchange for his own chance of escaping.

Beller was much better, at least he always kept smiling, although no one could tell how much contempt and contempt the corners of his mouth contained.

In Robin's opinion, the entire battle process was actually nothing special. As Berel expected, Letobu's next turtle formation was purely intended to defend, evenly spreading the combat power in three routes, and then was defeated by the concentrated elite troops of the vampire. He also sent gunners to seize the Ryan's cannons, and used the cannons to bomb the infantry in a dense formation. After the infantry was defeated, the knights tried their best but failed to break through the enemy in front of them, so they were surrounded by enemies with an overwhelming number advantage and were annihilated.

"...At this time, the knights were still fighting, and all the remaining infantry that were still fighting were gathered together with them. They were no longer fighting for victory and honor, but for life. The battle continued until sunset, and when it was dark, all resistance was futile. The knights almost fought to the last man, and the infantry that had collapsed in formation was forced into the dead corner of the valley, and all surrendered to the vampire with no choice..." Beller read in a low voice. Although his voice was light, Robin could hear it clearly.

"It's so strange... why did the vampire carry the Bin clan gunner?" Beller closed the booklet. "And after Leto knew about this, he actually put the artillery on the front line?"

"He may not care about this at all." Robin interjected.

"It's right." Berel sighed softly. "The vampire actually accepted the surrender of the enemy... No wonder he didn't come for a while... Why did he do this? He shouldn't accept the captives..."

Just as Beller was considering this issue, a noise came from outside. A guard hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Sir, His Highness Leto is back."

"Oh, let him see him right away...I'll see him right away!" Berel replied immediately.

Robin had already expected that Leto would definitely be no longer as arrogant as before. Before meeting, he had already learned about Leto's general situation from others. Although Leto escaped from the battlefield in time, he did not carry any travel equipment and was normally lost in the mountains. He walked around for several days before finally coming back. He had not eaten or drunk these days, and was worried that the vampires would send troops such as ghosts to catch up with him, and were in extreme mental tension all day long. It is conceivable that anyone would be in a state of despair after experiencing this situation. But after meeting, Robin still found that he was too conservative.

In fact, Leto is completely dead at the moment. Not to mention the arrogance in the past, he is now a dead person who can move. Not to mention anything else, the most conspicuous thing is Leto's hair. Robin still remembers that when he met last time, Leto was just a little gray, but now he has turned into a head of white hair.

"Your Highness, Prince." Berel naturally looked polite. Only Robin could see the disdain and contempt from Berel's polite appearance, and there was also a little pity and sympathy.

"Sir Belle, I thought you too..." Leto looked grateful when he saw Belle.

"I heard that the army was defeated, so I quickly withdrew. Fortunately, it was still time." Berel comforted. "Please rest assured that my highness, I will do my best to do my best in the city defense work and will never let this city fall into the hands of a vampire."

In this sentence, Belar actually denied Leto's identity as the chief general. Of course, Leto had no intention of arguing with Belar on such power at this time. He was too happy to be able to take on this task. Leto now has already lost all his ambitions and only wants to safely overcome this crisis.

The meeting was short this time. Soon, everything was arranged. Leto would not stay for too long. He would return to the capital as soon as possible. Everything here would be entrusted to Berel.

"Sir, why did you take this mess for Leto? If the vampire goes all out to attack us, it will be difficult for us to resist for too long." Robin asked when the meeting ended and Beller returned.

"Don't worry, Robin, I guess Ashu Rufate won't come to attack us." Beller's attitude was relaxed.

"But..." Robin was a little surprised. "Didn't you say that he has a great chance of attacking this city? And now he does have the capital, which we can't stop it.

"Don't worry, the vampire won't come. I finally think that the reason he accepted the captives was because he saw the fact correctly... Robin, if the vampire captured this city, he would seem too ambitious and dangerous to make the Ryan full of fear and destroy him desperately. The Ryans have no strength anymore, but the other six countries...there are troops! In a word, if the vampire intends to attack here, he will wait for the scene of the Seven-Nation Alliance to expedition to Kalean to repeat. On the contrary, if he stops... the Ryans will not panic. They think everything is still within the controllable range and will not risk introducing other countries' troops."

"So do you understand? I am now responsible for defending the city with reputation but no risks, which is equivalent to making a fortune for no reason." Beller suddenly laughed. "Also, Robin, do you know why I can usurp Leto's military power so easily?" Beller suddenly added. At this moment, all the smile on his face faded and turned into an extremely serious tone.

"From the moment Leto left his army and ran away alone, he was no longer a general."
