Mage Veigar

Chapter 235 Sweeping the Four Directions
Central part of the empire.

Under the cloudless sky, the cities stood tall, especially the Immortal City in the center, which dominated the surroundings.

Surrounding the imperial capital, flags are flying in medium-sized cities, but the war airships patrolling in the sky and the closed city gates add a hint of war atmosphere to the solemn city.

A few days ago, there was war here.

The terrifying magic roared all night long, the flying arrows covered the sky, and the bright red blood dyed the moat red...

The participating officers attacked each other, and nearly 20% of the participating officers were eliminated in one month. Just when the war was entering a white-hot stage, a slight change in the rankings extinguished the last trace of war in the central region.

More than 80 cities and 158 million troops.

This terrifying data made the officers in the entire central region no longer have the heart to attack each other. While they were cursing the participating officers who came to the northern region as pigs, they were also considering whether to fight or flee.

I definitely can't win by fighting, but I don't want to escape.

Therefore, they could only pin their hopes on Vega, who had already secured promotion, not continuing to cause trouble. As a result, an extremely strange scene appeared in the game full of war, and the entire central region fell into a period of peaceful wait-and-see.

To the officers in the central region, the game was no longer playable.

The thought of a hungry wolf living next to a group of lambs is despairing.

Then something happened that made them even more desperate.

In addition to the 58 soldiers stationed in the north, Vega raised an army of one million and marched through the city of Ropus to the central region on the 37th day of the siege, seemingly preparing to invade cities in the central region.

"Damn it, this kid has such a big appetite!"

At the Central Ten Alliances Conference, a participating officer slammed the table and said, "Occupying more than 80 cities in the entire north is enough for him to advance. Why does he want to intervene in the central region? Is it for insurance purposes?"

"I don't think so."

Another officer shook his cigarette butt and said, "As we all know, there are only five places for promotion in the siege battle. If I had this 5 million troops, I would definitely kill them all within the limited time and finally capture everyone except me."

clack.

An officer dropped his teacup and said in a daze, "Yes, yes. The General Plan is a plan, not a game. As long as you eliminate us all in the siege, wouldn't you get the position of general in advance?"

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

A short officer said with a pale face: "Probably... probably not, don't worry too much."

"From your hesitant tone, I'm afraid you don't even believe it yourself." The tall officer said disdainfully.

The entire conference room fell into silence.

Ten minutes later, the leading officer said, "With the airships of Ropus, Major Vega will probably be able to reach the vicinity of the imperial capital within seven days. Should we fight or flee? Please vote."

"I propose to form an alliance and fight."

"Even if we form an alliance, what will you use to fight?"

Several officers rejected the idea outright: "Their troops are united, and they also have the 31st Army's aviation unit. We can only fight if we capture the Immortal City and take down the Central Army. But who will own the Immortal City? I can't trust you. If you want to take over the Central Army, how can we fight back?"

There was another moment of silence.

Then the officer sitting at the end said, "Then I propose to withdraw from the central area."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"..."

Finally, the Ten Alliances' meeting ended in a bad mood. Everyone prepared to withdraw from the central area. Some went to the south, some to the north, and some to the west. When Vega arrived at the central area, he sadly discovered that he could only play "games" happily with the "human-machine".

On the 62nd day of the siege, all cities in the central region were captured. Veigar stood on the tower of the Immortal City and looked out at the sky.

This place is completely different from the towering mountains in the north. The sunset slowly falls on the flat and fertile land. The rustling sound of flags in the evening breeze is the most beautiful note in Vega's ears.

Let a ray of chill invade.

Vega raised a glass of strong liquor and toasted the sunset——

"Cough cough cough."

A violent cough broke the epic atmosphere. No matter in his past or present life, he was not suitable for drinking, especially such strong liquor. One sip almost made him fume.

Although he was about to cry from coughing, no one knew how Vega felt.

Looking forward, he sees the magnificent and vast rivers and mountains of the empire; turning back, he sees millions of soldiers ready for battle in the city. As long as he gives an order, no one on this earth can stop him.

"perhaps……"

"This is the smooth life I've been searching for."

After Veigar sighed, he lightly punched the war colossus that stood at the city gate like a giant.

But--

After all, this is an imaginary war site, not reality.

"next time."

Veigar's figure had already disappeared from the tower, but his voice echoed over the Immortal City: "If this scene can be realized in reality one day, I will definitely drink another glass of this strong wine on this tower next time."

Day 71 of the siege.

A piece of news came that terrified all the participating officers.

Veigaxing's 300 million-strong army continued to move south, including the 31st, 27th, and 14th three standard air corps of the empire, and the empire's most elite iron-blooded division - the 20-strong Central Army.

The terrifying numbers make everyone's scalp tingle.

The officers from the southern region abandoned the south on the first day of Vega's journey and fled to the west for refuge.

As a result, this siege battle, which the military prepared to test each contestant's command level of a large force, was completely distorted by Vega. The participating officers were no longer competing to see who had the stronger attacking ability, but who could escape faster.

Stick to it.

As long as they can hold out until the end of the siege time, they will have hope of advancing.

With this idea in mind, all the officers performed the escape battle to the fullest, and Vega also took the opportunity to practice the pursuit battle. This pursuit and escape lasted for more than half a year, and the siege battle finally came to an end.

"We held on. We held on!"

In several dark corners of the empire, officers howled with excitement.

God knows what they have been through in these three months.

Looking at the four lonely names on the leaderboard, they felt like crying. The number one on the list was naturally Vega, with a total score of 4. The points behind the other three names were all shown as 404.

Even though their points were zero, they still advanced.

Because they escaped Veigar's pursuit and ranked in the top 1 while maintaining 5% of the troops.

But at this time.

When the generals of the review team received the results of the siege, their faces were full of strange expressions.

Now who can tell them where the 5th place is?
