Mage Veigar

Chapter 138 Nightmare
Night arrived as expected.

When the sky was full and the moon was high in the sky, the smell of gunpowder in Kalini seemed to be stronger than during the day.

As the battalion commander of the 18rd Battalion, 3th Regiment, st Airborne Division of the Royal Army, Bill couldn't help but tighten his collar. The dry and cold air in Kareni made it difficult for him to adapt.

But as a professional soldier.

In the face of the great joy and sense of accomplishment of victory, these difficult conditions can be ignored.

"Captain, the brothers on duty are ready. You can rest now."

A soldier said this to him, which meant that he could temporarily relax his tense nerves, have a good sleep, and then replace the soldiers on duty in 8 hours.

As a chief.

Bill did not go to rest immediately, but waited until all the replacement work was completed. He patted his subordinates on the shoulders and said, "Thank you for the work ahead. If there is any problem, wake me up immediately."

"Yes, Battalion Commander." Everyone responded in unison.

No one doesn't like a friendly superior. It is obvious that Bill is such a battalion-level officer with a friendly and approachable style. He can get the support of most soldiers.

After handing over the work and comforting the soldiers.

Battalion Commander Bill walked towards the rest area, which was a residential building closest to the blockade site. Compared to fighting in the wilderness, he really loved fighting in the city, because having a building that was sheltered from the wind and rain to rest while marching and fighting was really a blessing.

Without taking off his bulky combat uniform, Bill fell headfirst onto the floor.

Although there was no warm, comfortable bed and quilt, it was already a great blessing. Bill hoped that the bastards of the Imperial Army would not disturb his sweet dreams tonight. The sudden large-scale attack yesterday had made him nervous all day.

He now urgently needs a long sleep to restore his energy.

Otherwise, with his confused mind, it would be difficult to continue commanding the troops to fight, and even more difficult to make the wisest decision.

So whether it's friendly or enemy, whether it's Kareni or Gasili, whether it's the Kingdom or the Empire——

He sincerely wishes the whole world good night.

boom!
The door was suddenly opened violently with a loud noise, waking Bill who had just fallen asleep.

Even though he was a friendly officer, this action of his subordinates successfully angered him. Now he stood up and looked at the soldier who broke in with bloodshot eyes: "Soldier, what's the matter?"

He tried his best to keep his tone calm.

But the dry and hoarse voice and the stiff expression revealed his inner anger.

Gudong.

The soldier swallowed his saliva. It was the first time he had seen such a battalion commander. But after a brief pause, he immediately reported: "Commander, it's bad. Those bastards from the Empire are attacking again."

"what?!"

Bill rushed out the door exclaiming, hadn't the Imperial Army learned their lesson from last night's battle?
If anyone dared to disturb his sweet dream, he would bury the Imperial Army here completely today. He was even ready to ask his subordinates to request the magicians in the regiment to provide magical support.

However, when he walked out of the door with the troops in the rest area, ready to fight, he did not see the Imperial Army.

He walked towards the blockade and saw dozens of corpses: "Where are the Imperial Army soldiers?"

"Report to the battalion commander."

One of the soldiers turned around and reported: "About a squadron of professionals from the Imperial Army suddenly attacked us, but as soon as we were about to ask for help, they immediately retreated and we were unable to stop them."

"Is this a test of strength?" Bill was a little confused.

But since the other party had already retreated, Bill did not intend to send anyone to pursue them, because a squadron of professionals wanted to escape, and with the strength of their battalion, they could not stop them for the time being. Now the main task was to get enough rest. Back in the rest area, Bill fell asleep.

Mental fatigue made him fall asleep quickly, and he entered a light sleep in less than half a minute.

boom!
The noise coming from the door again almost made him go crazy.

He stood up, unable to suppress the anger in his chest any longer: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The soldier did not notice Bill's expression, but said anxiously.

The enemy attacked and Bill had to fight back.

He quickly woke up all his subordinates and rushed out to prepare for support, but this time was still the same as last time. Apart from dozens of friendly soldiers' bodies, there was no trace of the enemy.

"What on earth do the Imperial Army want to do?!"

This happened several times and Bill felt like he was going crazy. Not only Bill himself, but even the soldiers who were preparing to rest became exhausted. Almost everyone had bloodshot eyes. They had never longed for sleep so much.

boom!
The sound of the door slamming was like the death knell of hell again.

Bill, who had just been lying down for less than 5 minutes, stood up with a roll, but he found that it was just a dream and the tightly closed door was not opened. He stared at the door for a minute with a pale face and sweat all over his forehead before he continued to lie down.

boom!
This time, in less than 3 minutes, the door was really opened.

Bill, who was close to collapse, could only lead his collapsed troops out of the door, because he could not be sure whether the other party was feinting or really attacking, so no matter how many times, even if he knew it was harassment, he had to be on high alert.

As for the consequences of not providing support, it is very likely that the feint attack will turn into a real attack.

Although his mind was in a mess, his only combat awareness was still clear.

When he arrived at the blockade line, he was shocked to see that the professional troops of the Imperial Army had massacred more than a dozen friendly soldiers and were preparing to leave.

"Too deceiving!"

The arrogant behavior of the Imperial Army completely ignited Bill's anger, and this trace of anger instantly burned his reason. He stared with bloodshot eyes, with only one thought left in his mind, that he could sleep well if he killed the Imperial Army.

This thought began to grow wildly amidst countless negative emotions.

A second later, Bill gave the order without hesitation: "The first company will stay behind. The adjutant will ask the regiment for support from a large force. The second and third companies will follow me to chase these shameless bastards of the Imperial Army. I will wipe them all out! All of these bastards!"

About 4 people chased after a squadron of about 40 professionals.

What they have to do is very simple. As long as they entangle this squadron of professionals and wait for the arrival of the support troops, they can bury this army completely. Bill does not think that a group of defeated troops without support can pose any threat.

The professional squadron of the Imperial Army was fleeing in front, while the Kingdom Army was biting their tails tightly.

5 minute later.

A look of surprise appeared on Bill's face.

Because they finally caught up with the professional troops of the Imperial Army.

Bill shouted in surprise, "Stop them at all costs. Scouts, release the flare immediately."

at the same time.

Vega, who was standing on the commanding heights, smiled at Captain Wolfe beside him. He pointed at the flares in the sky and said, "Captain Wolfe, the enemy has fallen into the trap. The fun is about to begin. Next, I will use your 800 soldiers to cripple an entire regiment!"
