Mage Veigar

Chapter 173 Unstoppable
120? !

Hearing this number, the entire conference room fell silent.

There are five million civilians in the whole of Kareni, which means that more than one-fifth of the civilians choose to obey the assembly order and meet at Victory Square.

120 million is not just or .

Even 120 million rats would be creepy, let alone living humans.

Although everyone knows that the idea of ​​mobilizing everyone to fight is a good idea, and helpless civilians will certainly take up arms for their own interests, the number is indeed too shocking.

Everyone looked at Vega with admiration.

The way this war was won was equated with a miracle in the eyes of the officers.

"Go ahead. You are the commander-in-chief of this operation."

Commander-in-Chief Foster stared at Vega and said, “Gather the troops and show the foolish Kingdom Army what a city that will never fall means and what it means to truly mobilize all the people to serve as soldiers.”

“Yes, Lord Commander.” Vega stood up and saluted.

Foster and other officers stood up at the same time: "Captain Vega Kareni, may glory be with you and victory belong to the Empire."

“For victory!” Vega lowered his right hand and headed towards Victory Square.

He is the chief commander of this operation. He is also the one who came up with the tactical ideas and assembled the troops. Therefore, Vega will be responsible for all the actions. No one else is qualified to intervene because no one present understands guerrilla warfare, let alone what other plans Vega has.

In order to win, they can't get involved.

"Sir, are you okay?"

In the carriage, the adjutant noticed that Vega's hands holding the documents were trembling slightly. In this dry and cold weather, there was even a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, so he asked with concern.

"No, it's okay."

Vega waved his hands casually. He was not afraid, but excited.

That’s right, it’s exciting!
I was so excited that my whole body started to tremble.

According to his plan, being able to mobilize 10 people would be impressive, but this number was far beyond his expectations. He disbanded less than 3000 regular troops, but developed a guerrilla force of 120 million. Is he living in a dream?

A million troops.

Commanding millions of troops is a kind of romance!
Even a senior general like Foster would regard being able to command an army of millions as his lifelong dream. Who doesn't dream of standing on a high platform one day, waving his hand, and having millions of people crush the enemy with overwhelming force?

This dream is about to come true.

Even though these one million people were civilians who were not even as good as cannon fodder troops, there would be one entry written on his life resume: at the age of 12, he served as the chief commander in the counterattack in Kareni City, commanding an army of 120 million to defeat the invading army of the kingdom.

At this moment, Vega finally realized the power of going with the flow.

As expected, standing on the crest of the wave, even a pig can soar to the top. Although he thinks he is not a pig, with 1.2 million troops under his command, there is no need to waste brain cells to think about any conspiracy or tricks.

tactics?

Strategy?

Troop deployment?

Sorry, but strength in numbers really does mean anything.

----

Victory Square, headquarters of the Kingdom's 1st Airborne Division.

Several staff officers, looking pale, advised the division commander, Ingliel: "Division commander, please withdraw. The enemy is not 10,000 or 20,000, not 100,000 or 100,000, but millions. Millions of troops, without air support, we don't even have a chance to fight back."

Wow.

Ingrid ignored the advice and rushed out of the tent.

He came to the edge of the square, climbed up the clock tower overlooking the central area, and looked around in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom—the noisy shouting and killing seemed to shake apart the white clouds in the sky.

The crowds of people roared in from all directions like a raging wave. The sound of their footsteps seemed to make the earth wail in pain. Ingril saw the red eagle flag that blocked out the sky.

The red eagle flag, symbolizing the glory of the empire, fluttered in the cold wind.

Faced with this unstoppable trend, England experienced for the first time what despair meant.

tactics?

Strategy?

Build a line of defense?

Any conspiracy or trickery seems insignificant in the face of absolute power.

There are 4000 regular troops stationed at each of the four entrances to the square.

These 4000 regular troops are the decisive battle defense line arranged by Ingliel. If nothing unexpected happens, they will come into close combat with the guerrilla forces that have come to assemble in 20 minutes.

4000 versus 300000?

Not to mention the difference in quality, just the few zeros at the end are enough to make people despair.

There is still a glimmer of hope if we retreat now. If we really choose to have a decisive battle in Victory Square, no matter what elite regular army unit you are, the final result will be nothing but being crushed.

"Order——"

Ingrid paused for a full minute before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "Withdraw."

"The commander is wise." The adjutant was eager to spread the news.

Therefore, facing this overwhelming force, the Wang Guojun finally chose to temporarily avoid the attack. Not only did they give up their headquarters, Victory Square, but they also led their troops to avoid the main marching streets of the guerrilla forces, and fled with their tail between their legs like a stray dog.

The cold wind cut my cheeks like a knife.

Ingrir looked up at the haze that was gradually dispersing under the bright sun. He no longer had the dignity and decisiveness of a general. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a dozen years and said, "The Empire is still the same Empire after all. I'm afraid that tearing up the armistice agreement this time is a disaster rather than a blessing."

Although he didn't want to admit it, England knew very well that they had already lost the war at this point.

In this huge city of Kareni, there is not a single square meter of land on which their kingdom's army can survive. The cohesion of the city that will never fall was beyond his expectations, and he also seriously underestimated the determination of the imperial civilians to protect their land.

This is a long time.

In Victory Square, Vega straightened his military uniform and walked towards the platform with firm steps.

Da da da--

The crisp sound of military boots echoed over the square. At this moment, the only sound between heaven and earth was Vega's footsteps.

What does it feel like to carry a burden?
The feeling of carrying a burden is that a million people are hanging on your every word.

Veigar stood on the high platform, looking down at the million-strong army.

There is no timidity, no fear, no uneasiness, there is only excitement, and the only thing left is excitement.

Straighten your military cap.

Vega made his first childish voice through the loudspeaker: "Soldiers of the Empire, I, Vega Kareni, am now issuing my first order to you as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Empire, a detachment directly under the military headquarters, and the guerrilla army."

Breathe the cold air into your lungs.

Vega used all his strength to exhale the air mixed with the sound.

"All troops, stand at attention!"

The tender voices of children echoed over Victory Square.

The battered Golden Lion Flag of the Kingdom in the center of the square finally couldn't withstand the howling cold wind. It let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, raising only a cloud of dust before returning to silence.
