Mage Veigar

Chapter 286 Harming Others and Yourself
Da da da--

The war horses neighed and their footsteps were like thunder.

An army of 1.2 entered the Tuli Grand Canyon from outside. This army was equipped with magicians, professionals and other high-level forces. Judging from their spirit, it was obvious that this was a battle-hardened army.

opposite of this.

Although the soldiers on Vega's defense line are known as the "Victorious" Division of the Seventh Army and the elite force, they may not be as panic-stricken as ordinary troops at this critical moment, but they are inevitably nervous and panicked.

"War is the only way to raise troops."

Vega looked at his troops and sighed, "The East has indeed been peaceful for too long. Such troops are not the elite troops I want. How can an army that doesn't know how to enjoy the smoke of gunpowder be called an elite army?"

That's right.

The troops that Vega most wants to command are those who desire peace but enjoy war.

Does this sentence sound a bit contradictory?

However, this is the fact, and there is also a living example here - himself.

Vega was indeed enjoying comfort and peace. He was immersed in the sense of security and even had the illusion that he was no longer adapted to war. But now it seemed that his worries were groundless.

Maybe it's because I've been comfortable for too long.

Facing a battlefield filled with the smell of gunpowder and time seemed to have frozen, Vega was excited. How long had it been since he had felt this way? It had been about three months now.

For three whole months, I had not experienced war.

Vega looked at the Kingdom Army vaguely visible in front of him and took a deep breath, breathing in the unique smell of war into his lungs. He indulged in it like tasting fine wine. It was not until now that he realized -

War, it's great.

Drawing out the cross sword that symbolizes power, Vega pointed forward and said, “All troops! Get ready!”

"scare!"

A giant shield made of steel blocks the way ahead, cold arrows are pointed at the full moon strings, and magicians who manipulate the elements chant loudly. The war of blood and fire begins here, and here... cowardice, weakness, death, sadness and pain will all be forgotten.

Weak? Strong?
There is only the winner here!
Boom boom boom——

Magic is roaring, arrows are flying, professionals are roaring, and cold spears are reaping lives.

The two armies collided, one side was fearless and the other was unbreakable, and the two sides fought in the canyon.

Thanks to Vega's adequate preparation, the reasonable deployment of defense formations and magicians, the Kingdom's army suffered heavy losses in the rash hand-to-hand combat. In addition, with the advantage of being the defending side in the first round, the fight is now roughly 46-.

Is Ingrid scared?
If he was afraid, he would not have chosen to confront them head-on when the scouts discovered that there were blocking troops in front of him. After so many battles of varying sizes in the eastern part of the dynasty, he had long discovered that both the dynasty army and the imperial reinforcements were just in name only.

As long as you are fearless, they will only be afraid.

As long as you fight to the death, they will run away.

How could these comfortable poultry understand the United Kingdom, which was forced into a desperate situation, and how could they understand their determination to win or die?

Ingril swung his sword.

His loud roar seemed to drown out the roar of war and reach the ears of every soldier: "Warriors of the kingdom, please show your determination to die and teach these comfortable poultry what it means to be—"

"Real war!"

The commander's presence at the front greatly boosted the morale of the kingdom's soldiers. In that instant, the battle situation was reversed. Although Vega's troops had undergone the most rigorous training, they had been at peace for too long and had forgotten that war was always a matter of victory or death.

“It’s pretty good to be able to do this.”

Vega smiled as he took in the overall situation. He knew that it was impossible to build a truly elite army in one go. It was already very good that they could achieve this level today. If they continued to suppress the Kingdom Army, he would be really surprised.

"Adjutant, give the order to retreat."

Vega got on his horse and prepared to retreat to the second line of defense. “Send a signal to the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Regiments on the flanks to provide cover. We need to trick the Kingdom Army here. At the same time, let the enemy’s generals know that it’s not enough to just have the courage to win or die in a battle. I’m not the kind of third-rate general who would turn a blocking battle into a frontal battle.”

Following Vega's order, the entire army began to retreat at full speed.

Vega took the lead and walked in the front, followed by the professionals and magician troops, followed by the faster cavalry, and finally the largest number of infantry.

Without the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Regiments on the flanks to cover their retreat, Vega's troops would have suffered heavy losses, and the only ones who could escape would probably be the cavalry and high-level forces. However, with the flank troops on the top of the canyon to cover them, they could easily reach the second line of defense and even trap the Kingdom's army.

If the kingdom's army continues to pursue, it will only suffer heavy losses.

This is Vega’s understanding of the blocking battle. This time, the blocking battle does not require defeating the opponent, but only delaying time.

"Hahaha, warriors of the kingdom, you saw it."

Ingril sneered and pointed at the retreating heavy armored brigade: "These are the poultry of the Empire and the Kingdom. They are afraid, they are terrified, so they are running away. The whole army will give chase, and victory belongs to the Kingdom!"

"adjutant."

While pursuing, Ingril gave the order: "Now that the two armies have been separated, you can let the aviation unit conduct a magical bombing. I want all of this unit to be buried here today."

"Master, I'm afraid this won't work."

The adjutant pointed to the terrain and said, "Under this situation, the aviation forces can't see the ground forces at all. They can only carry out magic bombing on the ground forces if they descend to a certain altitude, which is too risky for the aviation forces."

"Then forget it."

After thinking for a while, Yinglier said, "If we can't keep the high-level armed forces, then we can keep their main forces. Without the main forces, those high-level armed forces won't be able to cause any trouble."

Ingliel chased for a hundred meters.

During the pursuit, he suddenly discovered that although the imperial army was fleeing, their formation was not in disarray. He raised his head and looked at both sides of the canyon. He felt uneasy for no reason. If an ambush was set, wouldn't he suffer heavy losses?

A chill came over me.

Ingrid's lips turned pale, and he became more and more uneasy as he chased. He began to realize that maybe he was chasing too deeply?

"Why does this strange atmosphere feel so familiar?"

"No, that kid won't graduate for another two years, right?"

Ingrid's intuition told him that this strange atmosphere of war was familiar, but this feeling had been forgotten by his subconscious mind, and he probably would never actively think about it in his life.

And the other side.

Vega has learned that the enemy has pursued for a thousand meters and the entire army has entered an ambush circle.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Is the enemy commander really that stupid? My original intention was just to use the flank troops to harass the Kingdom Army. As long as the enemy commander saw our neat retreat formation and the surrounding terrain, he should stop pursuing us. If he stopped pursuing us at that time, at most they would only lose a few soldiers."

"What if the kingdom's army continues to pursue?" Adjutant Yiluo asked excitedly.

Veigar smiled brightly. “If they continue to pursue, and the entire army is trapped in an ambush, I bet they will lose 80% of their troops, if not all of them.”

"This...how is it possible?" Adjutant Yiluo stuttered.

Vega ignored Iroh's surprised expression. He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. "According to the time, it's time for Dandel's attack to begin. I didn't expect this blocking battle to turn into an ambush. I really have to thank the commander of the Kingdom Army."

Be able to preserve your troops as much as possible while blocking the enemy.

This is the most perfect ending for Vega, and after this war, the entire heavy brigade will surely gain tremendous growth, which is crucial experience for an elite force.

at the same time.

At both ends of the canyon, the flanking troops looked down at the battle below.

The commander of the 1st Regiment put down the binoculars and said, "Deputy Brigadier General, the time is almost up. The Royal Army has entered the ambush circle. We will definitely win this battle. This is indeed the plan of the Brigadier General. It is too perfect."

Ignoring the captain, Dandali's eyes flashed with madness.

The 1st Regiment Commander noticed something was wrong immediately. He said anxiously, "Mr. Deputy Brigade Commander, please give the order to attack, otherwise the Kingdom Army will break out of the ambush circle."

"Order."

Hearing these two words, the commander of the 1st Regiment let out a long sigh. He had already drawn his cross sword and was ready to fight.

But at this moment, an unexpected order came from Dandeli: "Without my permission, no one is allowed to launch an attack. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed on the spot!"
