Mage Veigar

Chapter 228 A flash of inspiration

After the negotiations, Vega returned to the military academy.

On the way back to the military academy, Vega felt more and more that women were extremely complex creatures.

She was smiling brightly just a few seconds ago, and seemed ready to hold his hand affectionately, but her expression changed immediately a second later, and she ruthlessly ordered him to leave. What else could he say in the face of such a baffling situation?

Vega could only sigh helplessly.

Hey, woman!
However, this matter did not bother Vega for too long. After all, they were partners. One wanted to overthrow the family, and the other just wanted money. As long as their interests did not conflict, Vega could ignore these insignificant matters.

It was already 22:00 when I got back to school.

After a good sleep, Vega washed up the next morning and prepared to go to the training room to get familiar with the smell of war. After all, the siege was imminent, and the promotion ratio this time was 10:1.

50 people advance to the next round. Just think about it and you will know how difficult it is.

Passing the Hundred Regiments Campaign means that one is already an excellent mid-level officer, and advancing to the City Defense Battle means that one's personal ability is close to the command level of senior officers. It is conceivable how difficult it is to get the top 5 promotion spots amid competition from so many elites.

Even Vega didn't feel confident at all.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that, judging from the name of "Siege War", could this war be another urban battle?
If it is a city battle, then there is no doubt that he has certain advantages.

While guessing, Veigar opened the door and prepared to leave, but when the door was halfway open, he closed it casually, then returned to the room, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out two rune pages.

This was the intermediate combat skill that he had purchased yesterday for a buy-one-get-one-free deal for one silver coin.

Although he couldn't learn it yet, Vega thought about it and decided to carry it with him.

A few minutes later, Vega arrived at the War Building.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Vega bumped into a man who was walking down the stairs in a hurry at the corner. The other person was a captain, and Vega always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.

"Damn it, you don't have eyes..."

The person who bumped into him complained first, but when he saw Vega's face, his words stopped abruptly.

"It's you!"

Neville didn't expect to be so unlucky. He wanted to bribe the other 49 contestants to fight against Vega together, but he didn't expect that most people did not agree with what he proposed. They only promised that if they encountered Vega's troops in the siege, they would abandon their current strategic goals and unite to fight against Vega. However, it was absolutely impossible to expect them to take the initiative to find Vega.

Neville, who had never been disobeyed before, was so angry that it goes without saying.

However, the law does not hold everyone responsible, especially for the officers who were promoted to siege warfare who no longer had to worry about graduation. Some of them had even contacted the troops they would join after graduation. It was difficult for him to force orders on these people given his status. His opinions could only be respected to a certain extent out of his status as a general, so he could only swallow his anger.

This is why he hurried downstairs.

The person he bumped into turned out to be Vega, which made Neville even more disgusted: "Little boy, don't be too proud too soon. What happened last time was just an accident. Next, I will let you know what real hell is."

After saying that, Neville snorted and left.

Although he still spoke tough, Neville knew in his heart that even if Vega was eliminated, it would only slightly alleviate the hatred in his heart, because he could no longer really do anything to Vega.

His father's power was limited to controlling graduation assessments and graduation recommendations.

However, officers who have passed the city defense battle have been deemed to have passed the graduation assessment, and even graduation recommendations do not need to go through the academy. Naturally, some troops that are short of talent will take the initiative to recruit them.

So where is Vega at this time?

He still looked confused because he really couldn't remember who this person was.

"Forget it. If I can't remember them, they are probably just insignificant passersby."

Vega muttered to himself, then continued to walk upstairs and began a full day of actual combat training. Of course, the training objects were not meaningless "human machines", but were randomly matched with officers who were training in the war building at the same time. Such training was meaningful.

Siege warfare.

In Vega's understanding, it means siege.

So the model he chose was a battle between two sides with one medium-sized city and one division each.

Vega only had experience in defending a city, but not any experience in attacking a city, so he fought according to the standard siege method in the textbook. However, his basics were too poor. Not only was his ranking and formation not as meticulous as his opponent's, but at the very beginning of the war, he was split up by the opponent's interlocking troops and ended up in a miserable defeat.

How bad is it?
It was so tragic that they couldn't even return to the city to launch guerrilla warfare and were wiped out outside the city.

This battle was undoubtedly a failure, and it was basically certain that the opponent was a level 3 student, and might even be a participant in this siege. However, the facts proved that with his strength, he could not win in a head-on battle.

Vega began to frown.

Now he realized that siege warfare was different from city defense warfare. City defense could use strange strategies and tricks, but siege warfare required a regular and head-on battle with the enemy. And since the enemy was a virtual soldier without any emotions, some tricks that exploited desires would of course not work.

What to do?
Veigar was at a loss. If a conventional battle really had to be fought, he would undoubtedly be the first to be eliminated.

Exit the land of war.

Vega went to the library in annoyance, but he couldn't find any good solution until he returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.

There is no shortcut to commanding a regular battle. One must either grow rapidly through life-and-death frontline battles, or increase proficiency through theoretical and practical training in military academies. Vega has neither.

After all, he is just a freshman who knows nothing.

Are we really going to stop at the siege?
What a joke, his goal is to become a general, he doesn't have the time to slowly advance through the ranks, having given up the 8-year guaranteed promotion, he no longer has the chance to quit halfway, this battle... must be won.

Thinking of this, Vega jumped up from the bed.

He turned on the magic lamp, sat at the desk, picked up a piece of white paper and a pen, and began to think about the tactics for dealing with conventional battles and frontal battles. He even thought about it until the sun was about to rise the next morning, but the paper was still blank.

Tick ​​tick tick——

Time continued to pass, and another hour passed.

Due to the training in the war zone during the day and staying up late, Vega was exhausted. When the darkness faded and dawn was about to come, he actually began to revolve around in his life. The past scenes passed by like a fast-forwarded movie, and finally stopped at -

On the bronze statue on the Kareni Tower!
Suddenly woke up.

"Shouldn't forget it."

"You should never forget it."

Vega showed an ecstatic expression, and then began to mutter to himself like a madman: "How could I forget such an important thing? When it comes to frontal warfare, siege warfare, and conventional warfare, which country is more powerful than the current United Kingdom? They even captured Kareni, which is known as the city that will never fall. What tactics did the United Kingdom use?"

A spy war with internal and external cooperation?

This is only one of the reasons, and a very small one at that. The core tactic that really made the Third Army of the Empire, which was the best at frontal and conventional warfare, unable to raise its head throughout the entire Northern War was...

Click click click.

After writing three words on a piece of white paper, Vega returned to his bed and fell asleep.

At this moment, the first rays of dawn faded away the darkness and shone through the window onto the white paper on the table. The ink that had not yet dried was shining with endless depth.
