Mage Veigar

Chapter 141 Breaking out of the siege

Victory.

Really won?
Wolf stood beside Vega and witnessed the victory of the war with his own eyes.

What words can be used to describe this war?

Defeating the many with the few, defeating the strong with the weak?
No, neither. There is only one word that can describe this war - miracle.

800 remnants of defeated soldiers, a squadron of professionals, actually defeated an elite regiment... no, an elite regiment plus a battalion-level force of 400 people.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, anyone who hears such a thing would think it's a fairy tale.

How could a cannon fodder force of 800 people with almost no morale and no support possibly defeat an elite regiment of the Kingdom Army? Even if a senior general in the army was asked to command, it would be a battle that was bound to be lost.

For the first time, Wolfe began to question his ability to command.

It was also the first time he knew that a war could be fought this way, that tactics could be used this way, and that there were people who could turn decay into magic and create a battle that was worthy of being included in textbooks... or even recorded in history.

If Wolfe was initially proud of his military academy background.

Now, he felt ashamed because he, a mid-level officer who graduated from a military academy, was not as good as a kid who had not even attended a military academy.

And then, something even more shocking happened.

After the support group was unable to continue and issued an order to retreat, Vega actually issued an order to pursue.

Crazy. The only word to describe Vega's orders was crazy.

Because in Wolfe's view, being able to annihilate a battalion-level force of 400 people and to cripple and repel a regimental-level support force was already a very remarkable thing, but he issued a crazy pursuit order.

To know.

Even if the Kingdom Army was defeated and retreated, they still had nearly a thousand elite troops, while our side only had 800 cannon fodder soldiers who had not yet received systematic training. What could they use to pursue? Aren't they afraid of the enemy's counterattack and opposition from their own soldiers?

This was far beyond Wolfe's expectations.

Their own soldiers did not object at all, nor did they pretend to obey, but instead they roared and pursued the victory. The frightened Kingdom Army did not even think of counterattacking and only cared about fleeing in a hurry.

The battle ended at midnight.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Vega truly created a miracle. They looked at Vega with eyes full of awe and worship, and their fanatical gazes were no weaker than those of religious fanatics.

The soldier's mind is simple.

Whoever can bring them victory and honor, and lead them to survive, is a commander worthy of respect and admiration.

Apparently, Vega possesses all of these.

Therefore, in the next two days, all the soldiers followed Vega's orders carefully and began to deploy guerrilla tactics against the blockade line. The guerrilla tactics against the blockade line were obviously much simpler. As long as they used highly mobile troops, constantly changed the attack location and harassed the enemy, the enemy would not even be able to touch their shadows.

On the third day.

The Kingdom Army finally couldn't stand Vega's guerrilla tactics.

They were forced to abandon their blockade of the central area and concentrate all their forces in one place.

This approach can indeed prevent guerrilla tactics to a certain extent.

But it also means that Vega can march out of the central area with his troops.

In fact, that's exactly what Vega did. As soon as the enemy lifted the blockade, Vega led his troops out of the central area.

You know, the Kingdom Army didn't use magic bombing against them before because there were Kingdom Army blocking the defense line here, and rashly carrying out magic bombing would likely hurt friendly forces by mistake. Now that the Kingdom Army has concentrated its forces, of course it can carry out magic bombing at will.

Boom boom boom——

Hearing the sound of bombing in the distance, Vega was glad that he led his troops out of the central area as soon as possible.

But these have nothing to do with him anymore. Now he is leading his troops towards the Third Army’s base. Vega hopes to return to the vicinity of the Third Army’s base before dawn tomorrow.

Now he just hoped.

The Third Army retreated to the military air-raid shelter in time under the magical bombing, and preserved a large amount of counterattack force, and was able to quickly regain control of Kareni with this counterattack force. Otherwise, the front-line troops would lose the command and supply of the rear, and it would probably collapse in less than half a month, and the empire would lose the entire Third Army.

“Captain Vega, Captain Vega.”

During the march, Captain Wolf called out to Vega and said, "We are far away from the central area now. This is probably not the target area for bombing by warships. Do you think we should let the troops rest here for an hour? We are all very tired."

Vega looked back.

It was discovered that the professionals were all fine, but the ordinary soldiers were already out of breath. After all, they had been through high-intensity battles and then a forced march, and they were already physically exhausted.

"Just do as Captain Wolfe says."

Vega ordered his adjutant, “Have the scouts find a hidden place and rest the troops.”

"Yes, Captain."

The adjutant immediately carried out Vega's orders. Although this unit was still Wolf's subordinate in name, Vega was the one who was truly in power. Not only did the soldiers admire Vega, but Wolf also began to believe in Vega's judgment.

After all, Wolfe prefers victory in war to command.

So under the leadership of the scout, Vega led his troops to a large warehouse for a short rest. This place was not far from the Third Army’s base, only about 5 hours away.

Vega also took this opportunity to familiarize himself with his current strength.

First of all, it is the level of the professional. After the battles in the past few days, it has successfully reached the peak of a level 5 trainee professional. However, with nearly a thousand lives, it has not directly broken through to the level of a lower-level professional.

The second is the level of the magician.

Although he killed more than 20 professionals in subsequent battles, he still did not advance. Another pity was that he did not keep close to the enemy magician in the battle, resulting in only one skill point to be used.

The key point is.

Although he knew that the magic power and mental strength of the units killed by his teammates would be greatly reduced, it was difficult for him to accept that such a large number of units only allowed him to reach the peak of the Level 5 apprentice professional.

seem……

The appetite of this mutated version of the supernatural evil power is growing bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, apart from a bigger appetite, there seems to be no other side effects. Although Vega remains cautious, he can only let things go when he is powerless to resist.

An hour passed quickly.

After resting, Vega led his troops and continued to advance towards the base.
