Mage Veigar

Chapter 229 Blitz War

Blitzkrieg!
On the white paper, three pitch-black words shone deeply.

Blitzkrieg, also known as lightning war, is a type of conventional tactic.

On Earth, the Third Reich once used this tactic to sweep across Europe, taking Denmark in one hour, conquering the Netherlands in five days, conquering Belgium in 1 days, and conquering France, known as the "strongest army in Europe", in 5 days...

The list goes on and on.

On the Galan continent, the United Kingdom was the first country to use this tactic.

How powerful is this tactic?
Whether on Earth or in the Jialan Continent, countless facts have proved that as long as this tactic is used properly, it can almost achieve an unrivaled level in conquering cities and seizing territories.

Are there any officers in the Empire who would use this tactic?
Not to mention using it, you may not even have heard of it.

The Empire still attributed the fall of Kareni to the betrayal of Bruno Valencia, and the Military Academy and 90 percent of the army generals did not take the United Kingdom, whose army was weak, seriously at all.

They didn't notice even more.

The fall of Kareni was only a minor reason. The entire Third Army's ten elite divisions were also unable to defeat the United Kingdom in front-line combat. No, they couldn't even hold the defense line and were finally forced to retreat to other cities.

The arrogant empire didn't see it either.

The entire eastern region of the neighboring Holy Dynasty fell in less than half a month. The pride in their bones had blinded the eyes of the empire. The opponents they once looked down upon were fighting to support themselves and continuously expanding their army.

The strongest army?
Jialan is invincible?

In Vega's opinion, the Empire is no longer the strongest army.

Although the United Kingdom does not have as many mages, professionals, and army as the Empire, it is far ahead in the way it uses the army, and this advance is enough to make up for the gap in numbers.

Take this opportunity.

Let's offer a blitzkrieg to the arrogant empire.

Half a month later, Vega stood in front of the gate of the war building.

When it comes to understanding blitzkrieg, I'm afraid the entire United Kingdom cannot compare to Vega, the time traveler, not to mention these military academy cadets who have never even heard of the word "blitzkrieg".

"Everyone."

The unfamiliar general once again took the stage and announced the start of the siege: "The detailed rules are already in the booklet in your hands. This time I mainly want to remind everyone that this battle will determine your life to a certain extent. I wish you all good luck in fighting."

"Long live the Empire!"

After the assembled team was disbanded, the 1 people who advanced were left with one hour to familiarize themselves with the rules. Vega couldn't wait to open the "Siege War Rules Instructions" and began to read it.

Everything was just as described, it was indeed a siege.

First, everyone will have an army of 10 soldiers. The top five people who occupy the most cities in half a year will be promoted to the fourth stage of the general plan - national war.

Although it seemed that the opponents were just virtual soldiers, Vega knew that was not the case.

Because other contestants may attack your base camp at any time when you attack the city, or simply take advantage of the situation to destroy your entire army.

In other words.

This time, the main opponents in the siege are the participating officers, not those rigid virtual soldiers.

Vega is not worried about the virtual soldiers. It is too easy to seize the city from those soulless fakes. What really makes Vega afraid is that his competitors will stab him in the back.

Then he turned the page and a rule caught Vega's attention.

"After occupying a city, the city's garrison will be refreshed as the occupier's troops after 72 hours."

What does it mean?
Vega's eyes lit up. This meant that as long as he occupied a city for three days, his troops would gain an intact standard division or corps for free. In other words, the more cities he occupied, the more troops he would have. Vega keenly grasped the key to victory in this battle - the initiative.

As long as the strong seize the initiative in the war, it is possible for the strong to continuously expand the army through the snowball effect, reaching the level of one against two or even one against ten.

In this war, the strong will only become stronger, and the weak will be eliminated.

With this important information, Vega stepped into the door of the war building.

Countdown 10, 8...

Sitting on the rune chair, my eyes went dark and what appeared before my eyes was a war zone.

"here it is……"

Veigar found himself in a huge camp, which was large enough to accommodate an army group. All the soldiers were doing their duties. He was followed by an adjutant and a mage guard.

"I need to know the coordinates here."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant immediately responded, "This place is located on the northern border of the empire, outside the Kareni Mountains. The nearest city is Kareni City, which is about 65 kilometers away."

"This is...Kareni!"

A surprised sound came out of Vega’s mouth.

He didn't expect that his luck was so good this time that he was accidentally brought to the northern border of the empire. In this land, is there anyone who is more familiar with it than him?
Whether it exists or not, the work of collecting intelligence can be saved.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Vega immediately ordered the entire army to march towards Kareni. He wanted to occupy important cities first while other commanders were still spending their energy collecting coordinates and terrain intelligence.

The entire army took action immediately.

However, Vega's target this time is not the important city of Kareni, but the heart of the north of the empire, the intersection of transportation, and the garrison of the 31st Army of the Empire - the commercial and economic capital of the north, the city of Ropus.

The 31st Army is a true air force.

Vega's blitzkrieg relies most on the occupation of air superiority. He must occupy the city of Ropus before others regardless of losses and defend the city for more than 72 hours in order to obtain the powerful air force of the 31st Army.

This behavior is absolutely unwise in the eyes of any commander.

It's not that they can't occupy a city defended by a virtual army with their capabilities, but because occupying such a super-large city not only requires huge casualties, but also runs the risk of being taken advantage of by others.

Let’s not discuss these for now.

This time, in order to make the competition in the siege battle more brutal, the military has also enabled a ranking function. The ranking of each officer will appear on the list, and the name of the city occupied by the commander and the time of occupation can be seen.

In other words.

Once Vega occupies the city of Lopus, he will appear on the leaderboard. If someone clicks on his name, they will see that the city he occupied is Lopus, followed by the time of occupation.

In this situation.

The contestants from the north will definitely attack him first and may even form an alliance because of this, because everyone knows the importance of Ropes City, and controlling such a huge 31st Army is simply a miracle.

Therefore, in this siege war, the best choice is to continuously occupy medium-sized cities, and never touch any super-large cities. Once you touch a large city, not only will you be attacked by everyone, but your personal ranking points will also be recorded as 1, just like occupying a medium-sized city.

Even though he knew the risk, Vega still set his sights on the city of Ropus.

In other words, Vega is ready to be the "Public Enemy of the North".
