Mage Veigar

Chapter 231 Preemptive Strike
Veigar learned through the leaderboard and map.

Lancol City and Decaus City are the two medium-sized cities closest to Lopus City.

Moreover, these two cities have been occupied by two participating officers. The cities of Lancor and Decaus are located to the east and southeast of Lopus respectively. Once the troops are dispatched to Lopus, it will only take one day.

It's entirely conceivable.

Once more than 10 northern army groups form an alliance and prepare to eliminate this unruly guy first, they will definitely use these two cities as springboards to directly threaten the safety of Lopu City.

Establish a supply support line with the two cities as the core.

Then more than 10 armies will no longer have to worry about long marching routes and places to set up camp. After all, speed is of the essence in war, and it would be a joke if they spent 72 hours traveling in a 48-hour war.

If I guess correctly.

Now other participating officers are leading their troops to the two cities for a meeting, because this is the tacit unspoken rule, whoever dares to touch the important city will be attacked by everyone, and whoever dares not to join the Allied forces will also be attacked by everyone.

So why didn't Vega prepare for defense at this time, but instead ordered the aviation forces to take off?
Because blitzkrieg is all about speed.

It is fast as the wind, slow as the forest, aggressive as fire, still as a mountain, unpredictable as the shadow, and powerful as thunder.

As you can imagine, blitzkrieg has never been a defensive tactic. Even if the enemy consists of dozens of armies or millions of troops, Vega dares to take the initiative to wage war against them.

madman?

War has always been the best stage for madmen, and those who are timid are already dead.

Looking at the sky dimly lit by the morning light from the war airship, Vega's eyes were filled with excitement.

Even if the enemy is a five-star general, he probably wouldn't have thought that Vega would dare to take the initiative to provoke a war with less than 10 troops in the face of more than a dozen armies.

Strictly speaking, it is 1.5.

Vega left 1.4 ordinary soldiers in Ropus City, and assembled the remaining 1.5 soldiers and all the professionals and magicians of the army on the war airship, and first launched an attack on Lancol City.

The speed of the combat airship is faster than the transport airship used by ordinary airborne troops, so after about 3 hours, Vega arrived at the forest near the city of Lancor and began landing operations.

Ordinary troops, mage troops, and professional troops gathered on the ground.

Vega did not launch the war airship for the time being, but instead sent a team of shadow mages to sneak into the enemy's city to find the coordinates of the headquarters and air force, and to draw a tactical target map for the campaign.

This process took about 2 hours.

When Vega learned about the enemy, he used the same trick again and ordered the magic airship to take off, and the large army moved forward synchronously.

Lancor City.

Captain Toth was one of the participating officers. He was waiting quietly in the army headquarters closest to the city gate.

Just now, after looking through the rankings, he found that the first place in the second stage, Vega Kareni, who made General Neville extremely dissatisfied, was so bold as to occupy the important city of Ropus.

Coveting the 31st Army's air force?
You can't just eat delicious cakes whenever you want. Even if he coveted Ropes City, he didn't dare to take such a big risk and occupy Ropes City in the early stage of the siege. Neville's instructions aside, this behavior alone was courting death.

So he waited.

Waiting for other contestants to form an alliance and attack with their armies, this would not only get rid of a guy who didn't know the rules, but also give Neville an explanation. After cleaning up this guy, they would restart the game. According to speculation.

The Allied forces should not need to assemble for more than 36 hours, and they still have 36 hours to attack. However, time is not important. Even if 72 hours have passed and that brat Vega has taken control of the 31st Army, what does it matter?

Can 3.4 air forces defeat their one million allied forces?

No matter what you do, you can't escape the fate of incurring public wrath. A million allied troops are no joke.

But just when Toth thought he was safe, an explosion was heard first, and then the scout rushed into the house: "Report to the commander, our army is under attack by an unknown army, please give orders."

"what?"

Thoth was horrified. “How could an army dare to launch an attack? Now is the tacit alliance period. If they launch an attack without authorization during this period, isn’t they afraid of being attacked by everyone after they deal with Vega?”

Virtual soldiers have difficulty answering this question.

And Toth immediately guessed a possibility: the attacker was - Vega!
According to the unspoken rules, once someone occupies an important city, that person will be the only enemy during this period, and everyone else will be allies. They cannot kill each other at this point, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies of everyone.

In order to show his sincerity, Toth even sent only two patrol airships over the city.

Just as he thought of this, magic covered the command center. Fortunately, the building was strong enough and he did not die in the first round of magic bombardment. However, this scared him so much that he rushed directly to the underground air-raid shelter.

"Information, I need information!"

Todt roared, but under the carpet bombing, the scouts could not get close to the headquarters at all. The most important thing was that even the messengers could not convey Todt's orders to the front line. The command system was completely paralyzed.

Without the commander's orders, the virtual soldiers will not be able to fight efficiently and can only resist based on instinct, which makes them almost powerless against the organized attacks of Vega's aviation and ground forces.

"Damn it, is this guy crazy?"

Toth walked back and forth in the underground air-raid shelter while roaring. He couldn't believe that Vega would attack him right after occupying the city of Lopus. Shouldn't he be building a defense line and thinking about how to defend the city at this time?

How crazy must one be to do such a thing.

The dust above his head kept falling amid the roar of magic. In the underground air-raid shelter where magic lights flickered, Toth looked ashen. Not only was he unaware of the situation outside, he couldn't even convey command orders. He had never fought such a frustrating war.

The roar of magic continued for more than 2 hours.

Then he heard screams and magical explosions coming from the entrance of the air-raid shelter, and then he saw the shadow mage team pouring into the underground air-raid shelter...

"I'm not reconciled!"

With reluctance, the Shadow Mage thrust his dagger into his chest.

Therefore, after three hours, the Battle of Lancol City was declared over.

In the end, Vega mainly used air force magic bombing, magicians tore through gaps, professionals broke through the enemy's rear, and the large force spread out in a fan shape along important traffic arteries to divide and surround the enemy's large force, achieving the goal of encircling the two wings and annihilating the enemy completely.

In addition, Shadow Mages were sent out to carry out decapitation tactics against the isolated and helpless command center.

Thus, this blitzkrieg finally showed its sharpest fangs in a real battle between officers.
