Mage Veigar

Chapter 292 Adding fuel to the fire
The night raid begins.

Vega led three regiments totaling 3 people and prepared to launch a frontal attack.

The ultimate goal of this night attack was to demonstrate a determination to capture Tully City, and at the same time to fiddle with Ingrier's already extremely tense nerves and interfere with his correct judgment and thinking.

This is like a frightened bird.

As long as you pull the bowstring from below, even if there is no arrow on the bow, the bird that has been wounded by an arrow will think that it has been hit by an arrow and fall downwards.

Will Ingliel be fooled?

As we saw from Veigar, this is entirely possible if done right.

Because his preliminary work had been done well enough, the large camps prepared for show and the thick smoke that rose on time at meal times probably made Ingrir believe that he had a legion in his hands, not a brigade.

"To sum up, this battle will be won."

After giving everyone a brief explanation, Vega gave the order to begin the siege.

Boom boom boom——

The fire magician's flame explosion first tore through the dark night and crashed into the enemy's city gate. Only three light attacks broke the heavy city gate and opened the passage to attack into the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Since Ingril ordered to be vigilant, the enemy's reaction was not slow and they sent a warning signal immediately. The nearest mage troops had already come out of the city gate and formed a defense and counterattack formation.

Besides.

Rows of soldiers on the city walls were already on full alert, with their longbows drawn to the full moon.

"All troops! Attack!"

Under Veigar's command, the entire army launched its first attack on Tully City.

Since Vega did not have many troops, in order to create the illusion that "I am strong", he ordered all his troops to launch an attack, and the defending Kingdom Army was unable to resist for a while.

"Scout, Scout."

Ingrier on the tower shouted in horror: "How many troops does the enemy have? I need to get exact data. If this fierce attack can continue until dawn, we will be finished."

"Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance troops are unable to detect it."

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion was also sweating profusely. He said tremblingly, "Recently, our unit has suffered heavy losses due to your frequent reconnaissance orders. Now we really can't send out more scouts. Moreover, in the dark night, even if we have enough manpower, we can't find out the specific number."

boom!
Yinglier kicked the commander of the reconnaissance battalion and said, "If you are short of manpower, go and investigate in person. If I don't get the exact number within an hour, I will kill you."

"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down."

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Although we cannot know the exact number, judging from the extent of the enemy's current attack, there are probably 2-3 divisions of main forces."

"Two or three divisions?"

Ingrir took a deep breath, the number he estimated in his mind was similar to the number estimated by the reconnaissance battalion commander.

Therefore, after hearing what the commander of the reconnaissance battalion said, he was basically certain that Vega's frontal forces had three divisions, otherwise it would be impossible for the first wave of attack to be so fierce. Generally, in a siege, the first wave is a test attack, which is also the weakest attack.

So what should we do now?
The idea of ​​abandoning Tully City and breaking out from the north gate reappeared in my mind. If there were three divisions in front, I would definitely not be able to defeat them. It would be better to break out from the north gate while I still had one division. What if I was lucky enough to succeed in breaking out directly?
But is it really a good idea to just abandon the city’s defense?
Ingrir was wavering in his heart, and he was naturally aware of the strategic importance of Tully City.

If the city of Tully is occupied by the enemy.

Then all the troops of the Holy Dynasty in the east could cross the Donbu River through the large port west of the city of Tali and regroup in the west, and the Kingdom Army would lose the opportunity to leave the royal family of the dynasty and other army groups in the east and annihilate them all.

Ingrid gritted his teeth.

He said to the adjutant beside him, "Move the 7th Regiment over to hold the line. At the same time, notify the General Staff to come to the temporary combat command post here. I want to hold a meeting to discuss whether to retreat or defend."

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

Ingrir realized that he could no longer maintain a clear operational mindset, and his fear of Vega was overwhelming, so he decided to listen to the advice of the General Staff.

----

Whistle rustle.

Like a breeze passing by, this tiny sound was like a firefly and the bright moon compared to the explosion of elemental magic, so it did not attract anyone's attention.

That’s right, this is a team of shadow mages that have activated the trickery.

In a war, mage assassins like Shadow Mages often play an important role in assassinating enemy elemental mages or executing decapitation tactics behind enemy lines. Of course, the former is more common and the latter is less common.

the reason is simple.

In a team of elemental mages, sometimes there will not be any Word Wizards due to their rarity, but the elite wizard guard responsible for protecting the combat command center will definitely have 1-2 Word Wizards.

Therefore, the former has a higher chance of success, but a lower chance of paralyzing the command center.

But this time, Veigar ordered the Shadow Mage Squad to abandon the assassination of the Elemental Mage and instead lurk in the city to carry out a decapitation tactic with a very low chance of success against the enemy's combat command center.

Isn't this a futile effort?

If it were under normal circumstances, it would of course be a useless effort, but this time, Vega risked his life to personally lead a team of mages to destroy the enemy's headquarters. With his eight or nine combat skills and magical abilities, he really didn't believe that he couldn't destroy a temporary combat headquarters. After all, a temporary combat headquarters is not the main headquarters.

So why would Vega, who has always been afraid of death, fight so hard?

The reason was very simple. He first ordered a night attack in order to prevent the enemy from detecting his specific strength. At the same time, he used high-intensity attacks to create the illusion that he had several divisions. However, this high-intensity attack could not last for more than an hour.

In other words.

If he failed to scare England within an hour, his true colors would be revealed.

Now 20 minutes have passed, but the Kingdom Army has no intention of retreating, so Vega has to take action himself and add fuel to the fire of the war - beheading the enemy's temporary combat command.

As long as the temporary command center is destroyed.

Then Ingril would probably realize that the intensity of this attack is far more terrifying than he imagined. Coupled with the psychological trauma caused to Ingril in the past, Vega did not believe that he would still order to defend the city.

"General, I found it."

The captain of the shadow mage team pointed towards a small civilian house in the city ahead, where there was a team of elemental mages protecting it. Behind the elemental mages were two word mages who were on high alert.
