Mage Veigar

Chapter 147 Waiting for the rabbit
Geographical advantage is the key to victory.

That’s right, absolutely right. In this war of Kareni, victory can only be achieved by gaining the advantage of terrain.

Foster had realized the essence of urban warfare.

In short, whoever can make good use of the geographical advantages will be able to take the initiative in the war.

When it comes to taking advantage of geographical location, the Kingdom Army is naturally no match for the Imperial Army. After all, this is the Empire's territory, and for the Imperial Army, it is fighting on its home turf, so the geographical advantage is inherently firmly grasped by the Imperial Army.

Logically, this is true.

But Foster realized a crucial problem, that is, Bruno and his men from the General Law Enforcement Bureau seemed to be more familiar with the terrain of the city of Kareni than the Imperial Army.

Therefore, Foster judged that now was not the time to counterattack.

If you want to take advantage of the terrain to win the war, you need to completely eliminate Bruno and his troops first.

How to eliminate Bruno and his troops?

Judging from the current battle situation, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate Bruno and the law enforcement team, but this is only for ordinary people.

He, Foster, is no ordinary man.

Even though he is neither a professional nor a magician, Foster is particularly confident about this.

Because no one says that being strong must rely on brute force.

Even a high-ranking professional would perish on the spot under the siege of thousands of people. What an outstanding general should be proud of is not the strength of his own brute force, but the wisdom of playing with the enemy at will.

The reason why he came to the Mage area was because he did it on purpose.

Since Bruno was ten or a hundred times more familiar with Kareni than he was, after searching for a while, he would naturally target the Mage Zone, a place that even he couldn't reach. He only needed to set up an ambush here...

Simple?
It's something as simple as that.

Foster didn't even need to do anything unnecessary like luring the enemy deep into his territory. He could easily annihilate Bruno and his troops by just waiting here.

It is true that a fool can defeat a wise man with his strengths, and this is also the right path for a fool to take.

But a wise man who is good at summarizing experience will never stumble in the same place twice. If a fool tries to repeat the same trick, the wise man will only take advantage of the situation and catch the fool off guard.

Forster considered himself a wise man and he firmly believed in his own judgment.

Now the remaining 8000 troops are ready to go, including a shadow mage squadron that was ordered back before the fall of Kaleni, a 15-man elite mage guard, a standard mage squadron, and several professional battalions.

"Lieutenant Vega Kalini!"

Commander Foster stood up and said, "Now I need to temporarily assign you to the Shadow Mage Squadron. Your Shadow Mage Squadron has only one mission objective, to kill the traitor Bruno Valen."

“Yes, Commander.” Vega stood at attention and saluted.

Veigar has already understood the opportunity for victory in this war. It is no exaggeration to say that this ambush is a tough battle, and the heavy responsibility of the Shadow Mage Squadron is directly related to the direction of this war.

Even though being incorporated into the Shadow Mage Squadron this time was fraught with danger, Vega did not regret it and did not even raise any objections, because he and the Imperial Army were on the same boat. If the plan failed, no one would survive.

Fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and your own destiny should naturally be in your own hands. But before that, you need to prepare well.

Half an hour had passed since Vega left the commander-in-chief's office, and Wolfe's troops successfully entered the underground air-raid shelter, which made this middle-level officer who was extremely loyal to the empire cry with joy.

Wolf even held Vega's hand tightly to express his gratitude. Vega saw deep respect and gratitude in the other's eyes. Not only Wolf himself, but even his subordinates revealed crazy admiration in their eyes.

This admiration is even higher than that of Wolfe.

Seeing this, Vega already knew that his reputation and influence in the military were gradually increasing, which was a good start.

After bidding farewell to Wolfe and settling his subordinates, Vega headed towards the logistics department.

According to the authorization of the commander-in-chief, he can choose an advanced spell that matches his current wizard level and a magic cloak for free, and the cost will be fully charged to the general command.

Enter the logistics department.

Vega then discovered that all the precious props, equipment, combat skills, magic... in the prop shop on the second floor had been moved to the underground air-raid shelter, but the ownership still belonged to the original prop shop, and the army did not swallow them up without authorization.

“Vega…brother?”

Vega discovered that one of the managers of the logistics department was Dani Burton.

It was not until then that Vega realized that Gunther Burton was indeed cautious and thoughtful in his style of doing things. It was not without reason that he placed his only daughter who needed protection in the Professionals' Guild. If anything happened to Kalini, she would probably be safer than the commander-in-chief.

It turns out that those who succeed all have their strengths.

Veigar greeted Dani and told her why he was here: "I'm glad to meet you here, Miss Dani. I have the permission of the commander-in-chief to come here to choose a level 2 advanced spell and a low-level magic cloak for the Shadow Mage."

Dani's eyes lit up.

But this time there wasn't much of a shock, because Vega had already given her enough shocks, so many that she was almost numb.

So she just showed a friendly expression and said, "Brother Vega, you have been promoted to a second-level magician so quickly? It's unbelievable. I remember that 10 months ago you were just a professional who had just awakened your magic power."

Say so.

Dani led Vega to the third independent room: "This is the original Snowford Prop Shop. Now they are the only ones that still have the magic and props of the Shadow Mage."

"Welcome to Snowford."

Even though Kareni had fallen, the service staff and store manager here didn't seem to worry too much. When they saw Dani and Vega coming in, they immediately came over to greet them. Now the only people they can still do business with are people in the military.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Manager."

Dani smiled politely and said, "Please take out all the shadow mage magic and equipment in your store. My brother needs to choose carefully."

"Please wait."

The old man skillfully took out a set of magic cloaks and a rune page from the shelf that had not yet been sorted out.

He gently placed the rune page and magic cloak on the table, and then said with a regretful expression: "I'm very sorry, since the return of the Shadow Mage Squadron, our store's Shadow Mage items have been in short supply. Now we only have a set of magic cloaks that add 30% concealment ability and the Shadow Style's Level 2 Advanced Magic - Mirror Image."
