Mage Veigar

Chapter 167 Reflecting Value

Air-raid shelter No. 2, conference room.

Vega stood at the end of the round table, summarizing the post-war situation.

As for why we are doing a post-war summary now?

Perhaps it was because the experimental operations in the northern area frightened the Kingdom Army.

The Kingdom Army officially gave up control of the air-raid shelters today. Not only the air-raid shelters in the northern area, but all the garrison troops of the Kingdom Army air-raid shelters in Kareni have withdrawn.

In other words, Vega completed the task ahead of schedule.

This result was far beyond the expectations of the entire staff.

The General Staff believed that no matter how weak the Wang Guojun was, they would try their best to persevere. However, the Wang Guojun seemed to understand that meaningless persistence would only lead to greater losses, so they took drastic measures in time this time.

"This battle."

"Our army wiped out 2600 ordinary soldiers and 112 professionals of the enemy."

"Our army lost a total of 163 ordinary soldiers, non-professionals and magicians."

"Report completed."

At the end of the summary, Vega made a report on the casualties of both the enemy and us, then stood quietly in place, waiting for the commander-in-chief and staff in the main seat to give their opinions.

But at this moment, it was quiet.

When the report on Vega's casualties was heard, the entire conference room became so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

After a long while, one of the staff officers asked in a trembling voice: "Captain, are you sure that our army only lost 163 ordinary soldiers, not 1630 soldiers?"

“General, there are indeed 163 soldiers.” Vega’s clear voice echoed.

After getting Vega's affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became a little weird. Two brigade commanders who had led troops into battle lowered their heads in shame, especially Gunther, who didn't dare to look at Vega.

In a large-scale war, what are 163 soldiers?
A few more explosions would instantly evaporate all 163 soldiers.

Gunther once thought he was complacent with himself for using the cannon fodder brigade to fight against the enemy's core troops and withdrawing half of the men. But now, looking at one of his subordinates who had no experience in marching and fighting, had never attended a military school, and was even only a 12-year-old child...he had exchanged the lives of 163 enemy soldiers for the loss of 2600 soldiers.

Not only ordinary troops, there are also more than 100 professionals among them.

We cannot say that this kind of record will never be repeated, but it can be said to be unprecedented in the history of the Empire and even the Jialan Continent. This phenomenal tactic is enough to be included in the textbooks of the Imperial Military Academy for all prospective officers to study in depth.

Although Gunther knew that Veigar had potential a long time ago.

When Veigar became a professional, he knew that Veigar would become a magician one day, but Gunther never thought that Veigar actually possessed a natural talent for command.

Gunther looked at Vega with envy.

For officers like them, if they could fight a classic battle in their lifetime that could be passed down by others, they would be able to laugh heartily even in their graves, but this goal was easily achieved by Vega.

clap clap-

In this situation, everyone was speechless and could only applaud to express their feelings.

In the eyes of these generals, no matter how strong your personal martial arts are, as long as you are commanded properly, there are hundreds of ways to make you die without a burial place. Therefore, the strength of your personal martial arts may make them afraid, but it cannot gain their respect.

The only way to gain their recognition and enter their circle is to have excellent command skills. It is also very simple to demonstrate excellent command skills, just fight a beautiful battle.

"Interesting, very interesting."

The gray world faded away, and Foster looked at Vega with sparkling eyes: "Thank you, Captain Vega Kareni, this boring world finally becomes a little interesting. Now my desire to survive is stronger than ever. Please make sure that this war becomes a masterpiece that we will be proud of all our lives." Wow.

Everyone stood up and saluted Vega.

Even though they were not the protagonists of this war, being able to participate in such a war was enough to make those present proud, and it was enough to add the most significant stroke to their resumes.

Foster took a look around and said, "Okay, the summary meeting is over. Everyone, go and have a rest. Captain Vega, please stay for a while. I have some trivial matters to discuss with you."

creak-

The door to the conference room closed, leaving only Foster and Vega in the room.

"Captain, please take a seat."

Foster pointed to the chair and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with the captain's performance this time. It really surprised me that he was able to regain control of the air-raid shelter in such a short time."

"I don't dare to take credit for it." Vega said this modestly, but he was quite satisfied with himself in his heart.

Because through this command operation, Vega found that his evaluation with Foster rose sharply, and it was estimated that it had risen to the level of an ace, and an ace meant that he would not be abandoned at will.

correct.

Although there is a saying that goes "when the birds are all gone, the bows are put away, and when the rabbits are dead, the dogs are cooked", but as long as the birds are not all gone and the rabbits are not dead, it means that he will not be betrayed and abandoned by Foster as easily as he did the previous two times in a short period of time.

Demonstrate your own value and then become the chess player.

It is absolutely extremely conceited to pin one's hopes on past honors, because the past does not represent the future. Now Vega knows that only unique value can prevent anyone from betraying and abandoning him.

Military force may be replaced, but command ability cannot be replaced.

"Please give instructions, Commander-in-Chief."

Vega is full of energy, with a look of confidence that makes one want to be beaten.

Foster didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, "Captain Vega, I kept you here to get your opinion. How do you think we should fight the next battle? Although we won a battle, it can't shake the foundation of the Kingdom Army."

“Commander-in-chief, why should we speak in secret?” Vega also smiled.

“Hahaha.” Foster was stunned when he saw Vega’s expression, then he burst into laughter. “Interesting, really interesting. This time I was a little overconfident. This guerrilla tactic was originally created by you. How could you not see through the real mystery behind it?”

"The lower officials are frightened."

"Captain Vega, are you interested in playing a game with me?"

"I dare to do that."

“The rules are simple: write down our individual ideas on paper and open it together after three minutes.”

Foster and Vega, who were sitting at the head and end of the round table, picked up paper and pen, and then wrote down their ideas on the paper together.

Three minutes later.

Two pieces of white paper with wet ink were placed side by side on the round table. The contents on the two pieces of white paper were not the same. Instead, they said:

"Hide the troops among the people?"

"All the people are soldiers!"
