Mage Veigar

Chapter 308 Going their separate ways
The Kingdom Army and the Imperial Army actually pretended to surrender.

Admiral Tanni Rheinberg had indeed not expected this. In his entire military career, he had never heard of any country doing such a shameless thing. This was a complete disregard for even basic honor.

Even if war is irrational, it only matters victory or defeat.

But what really confused him was what was the motive of the Dynasty Army and the Imperial Army for their false surrender?
The entire eastern region has been returned to the kingdom, and the ports of all the cities along the river have been blocked. The armies of the two countries are trapped in a jar and have no chance of escaping from their clutches, so what is the point of breaking out?

Honor, dignity, oath?

Ha ha!

There is no point in delaying death even a little bit.

If the enemy commander had a bit of intelligence, he would know that surrendering now might save his life, but if he wanted to surrender after being caught next time, even if he wanted to agree, the 5 dead soldiers would not agree.

There was no motive, and Vega's drama.

This is why Tanier believed from the beginning to the end that the Dynasty and the Empire would surrender, and it was also the reason why he never thought of taking strict precautions. However, the reality was that the Dynasty Army and the Imperial Army slapped him in the face.

This was learned from intelligence gathered during post-war investigations.

This drama was staged by a general named Vega Kareni.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the empire had a 13-year-old child officer. Moreover, he, who was over fifty years old, was actually defeated by a child who was still wet behind the ears. This made him look a little embarrassed.

But after carefully checking Vega's own information, Tanier was shocked.

No one had ever told him in advance that there was such a commander in the enemy army, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the nemesis of the kingdom. Because he found that the reason why the kingdom's battle line in the north of the empire was defeated was actually caused by this child officer.

One by one.

The more Tanniel watched, the more frightened he became, including several wars in which England was teased, which made his scalp tingle.

Because he sadly discovered that even if he were in the situation at that time, he would probably be fooled by Vega. It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary generals can't keep up with the opponent's tactical thinking.

"This is the devil playing with people's hearts."

Tanier realized the seriousness of the matter. He not only regarded Vega as his greatest opponent in his life, but also regarded Vega as the biggest enemy hindering the rise of the kingdom. Therefore, he wrote a letter and sent it to the military of the United Kingdom overnight.

The United Kingdom is a country that is good at summarizing experience.

Even though they were almost destroyed in the last war and even signed a humiliating armistice agreement of ceding territory.

However, after learning from their mistakes and developing the latest tactics, and with the country beginning to unite as a whole because of the war and getting out of the situation of internal and external troubles, they are no longer the United Kingdom they once were.

No matter how small the threat is, they will take it seriously.

The humility in their bones makes them dare not underestimate any opponent.

The humiliation of defeat made them regard every country as an object of study.

Therefore, when Tanir's letter was sent to the Kingdom's military headquarters, Vega's name was written on the Kingdom's internal war threat list for the first time, for all officers of the Kingdom's military to refer to. And because Vega had twice made the Kingdom's high-level strategic goals go down the drain, his threat level ranked fifth on the list, below the head of state and several five-star generals.

Overnight, Vega's name became famous throughout the Kingdom's army.

According to Veigar's war history, he also got a "friendly" nickname -

War devil.

Although he has the face of an angel, he is actually a devil who likes to play with people's hearts.

This is a long review of Vega in the latest issue of the Officers' Monthly. It also uses the largest amount of space to introduce Vega's major and minor deeds, and at the same time reminds every officer who fights with him to be extremely cautious.

It seems like a joke when you say it.

At this stage, the one who understands Vega's value the most is not the Empire, but the rival United Kingdom. ————

Deep in the Taliban Mountains.

After crossing several mountains and finally escaping from danger, Vega didn't know that he was on the United Kingdom's blacklist, and one of the top ones. At this time, he was discussing with the commander of the Dynasty Army, Kerison, about going their separate ways.

First of all.

The dynasty army was determined to find an opportunity to cross the Donbu River and return to the dynasty headquarters, so Kerison suggested trying their luck upstream or downstream of the Donbu River.

But Vega disagreed.

The Donbu River runs across the entire dynasty and is the natural dividing line between the east and west of the Holy Dynasty. However, there are only a few cities that actually have large ports and ships. The kingdom’s army is probably waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Second.

Vega's goal is to return to the Empire.

Although the western part of the Holy Dynasty borders the eastern part of the Empire, there is no rule that one must pass through the western part of the Dynasty to return to the territory of the Empire. He can go directly north across the Donb River basin, and head west at the northernmost point of the Dynasty, and naturally he can easily return to the northern territory of the Empire.

The only thing to note is.

That location was once one of the routes for the United Kingdom to invade the Holy Dynasty and was easily detected by the United Kingdom.

However, Vega didn't care, because the main force of the United Kingdom would definitely be stationed in the port city, and ordinary branch troops would have no way to deal with him.

Different road non-phase plan.

As the words literally implied, the Dynasty's commander, Admiral Kellison, had no choice but to bid farewell to Veigar: "Since the general has decided to leave, I cannot let you take the risk with my army. I can only wish you a safe journey."

"You are very kind, sir."

Vega chuckled and said a few polite words: "As an ally, we not only failed to drive out the United Kingdom's army, but also cannot help your country return to the west. I am really sorry."

"General Vega is joking."

Kairison smiled friendly at first. After the breakout battle, he had regarded Vega as his lifelong friend.

So after some polite remarks, he suddenly said with a serious face: "But as a close friend, I have something to say. If it is offensive, please forgive me, General."

“You can tell me what you want.” A hint of doubt flashed in Vega’s eyes.

Kailisen was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "In this blocking battle, the Empire obviously abandoned you and let you escape alone. Don't you feel resentful? With your ability, there is no country in the vast Jialan that you cannot visit. Even if you come to our Holy Dynasty, I will definitely ask His Majesty to treat you as a guest of honor."

"General, don't you understand?"

"This world is so big, there really is nowhere to go."

Veigar laughed bitterly. “If I betray the Empire and join your camp, not to mention the discrimination from above and below, I will have to start from scratch. As the saying goes, all crows are black. Your Excellency is a general of the dynasty, but when disaster strikes, what kind of order will the dynasty give you? I think it is nothing more than the word ‘die’.”

After opening his mouth, Callison was speechless.

Yes, he was a discarded child abandoned by the dynasty. What qualifications did he have to feel indignant for those who had the same experience?

"This world is so big, there really is nowhere to go."

With a frustrated sigh, Callison said goodbye to Vega and led his troops downstream.

However, Vega did not march directly towards the extreme north of the dynasty.

Because his supplies would not last for less than a month, Vega decided to head to the eastern hinterland where the kingdom's army's defense was weakest, first capture a remote city and replenish resources before heading north.
