Mage Veigar

Chapter 317 Trust
Carol drew her cross sword.

Sia Saint Laurent's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Only Menno showed a frightened expression.

He wiped the cold sweat off his face with his trembling hands. As a top graduate of the military academy with the best grades but who was extremely afraid of death, he immediately realized how terrifying Vega's words were.

Large forces crossed the northern part of the Taliban Mountains.

Not to mention that the Kingdom Army is now attracted by Kerison's southward troops. Even if there were no Dynasty Army to attract their attention, they probably would not have thought that Vega would bypass the Taliban Mountains and launch a surprise attack on Shenghui City.

That's right.

When he heard that Vega's target was Saint Laurent, Menno immediately guessed Vega's first attack location.

What are the chances of a surprise attack on Shenghui City being successful?
In Menno's view, it is close to 100%.

At this moment, Vega was like a hungry wolf that had been lurking for who knows how long, and Holy Light City was like a fat sheep that had no sense of crisis and was quietly eating tender grass. Only death was waiting for him.

Once Shenghui City falls.

Vega's sword can point directly at Saint Laurent City.

Although it is a bit risky with the number of Vega's soldiers, there is still a chance to capture Saint Laurent City.

Others may not know, but as one of the kingdom's officers, Menno knew clearly that the division responsible for garrisoning Saint Laurent was also a crippled and understaffed unit, with the entire division having only about 1.3 people in total.

The Wang Guojun would never have thought of it.

In the calm and safe rear, there is a force like Vega that is still capable of fighting. Even if they guessed it, I am afraid that ordinary staff officers would not boldly guess that Vega would not escape but attack Saint Laurent instead.

Therefore, the chances of winning this war are 37-.

Of course, 3 is Veigar, and 7 is the Kingdom Army. After all, the Kingdom Army is defending the city. Even if they will be caught off guard, they are still the dominant side overall.

But please don't underestimate this 3% chance.

In marching and fighting, any tactic that can achieve a 3% success rate is enough for any general to take the risk and try it, especially in a war with huge gains, even one percent is enough to drive people crazy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of this war has surpassed miracles.

If this battle can be successfully won, this war will be destined to surpass miracles and become an epic.

Epic battle!

Was he, Menno, going to become an officer of the defeated nation, witnessing the birth of an epic battle?

What kind of sin did he commit to be sent to this devil by God?

Unlike Menno, a professional officer.

Knight Carol and Princess Xia, who had no experience in marching and fighting, naturally could not understand Vega's crazy behavior. Princess Xia Saint Laurent just thought that Vega had betrayed her trust, so she couldn't help but shed tears.

After all, Vega is the person she wants to trust most in this world besides Carol.

Even though she knew the marching route was wrong, she still believed in Vega and even stopped Carol from questioning Vega's orders several times. However, this trust was met with betrayal, which made her unable to hold back her tears.

Carol is more straightforward.

When he thought that Vega was going to sell him and the princess to the Kingdom Army, he drew out his cross sword. Although he had no confidence that he could escape from here with the princess, he thought it was possible to use Vega as a hostage.

So he pointed his sword at Vega.

Then he said in a cold voice: "It's a pity that Her Royal Highness the Princess trusted you so much. I didn't expect you to betray your friends to save your life. You people of the Empire are just as His Majesty said, cunning by nature and can't be trusted."

"I just said the destination was changed to Yves Saint Laurent, but I didn't say I was going to sell Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Vega shrugged and said, "As for why I changed my destination to Saint Laurent, I'm afraid the commander of the Kingdom Army has already guessed it." "Do you think I will still believe your sweet talk?"

Carol said disdainfully: "Everyone knows that Saint Laurent is the kingdom's territory. If you choose Saint Laurent as your destination, isn't that like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, handing Her Royal Highness the Princess over to the kingdom's army?"

With one quick step, Carol used her combat skills to rush towards Vega.

But at this moment, Xia's voice came: "Carol, stop, I want to hear General Vega's explanation."

"Your Highness...Alas!" Carol finally sighed and stopped moving.

Vega looked at Xia strangely again. This kind of trust made Vega more and more confused, but he continued to speak: "I think the two of you probably misunderstood something. What I mean is-"

"Conquer Saint Laurent City!"

As if it was a natural truth like eating when hungry, Vega said this, leaving the two of them stunned.

"Hahaha--"

After a moment of stunned silence, Carol let out a laugh that echoed for a long time.

He pointed at Vega and laughed so hard that tears were about to fall from his eyes. "Do you know where Saint Laurent is? Do you know how many soldiers our dynasty and your empire have sacrificed but failed to defend Saint Laurent? A defeated general actually wanted to defeat the Kingdom Army that caused the Dynasty and Empire coalition forces to lose and take Saint Laurent City."

After laughing.

Carol pointed her sword at Vega and said, "If you don't have a better excuse, don't blame me for taking action. Don't treat me and Your Highness the Princess as three-year-old children. We won't believe your crude excuses."

"Excuse?"

Vega shook his head and said, "Lord Carol, I can't guarantee other things, but I can tell you this one thing clearly. The goal this time is to capture Saint Laurent City, have Her Royal Highness the Princess crowned as the Queen, restore the Holy Dynasty's regime, and at the same time announce the official launch of the Holy Dynasty's counterattack against the Kingdom."

"Thank you General Vega for considering me so much."

Princess Xia's mist faded away, and she said with some emotion in her eyes, "But isn't this plan too...risky? Even laymen like Carol and I know that this is courting death, and the chance of success is no more than one percent."

"Your Highness, you don't believe this nonsense, do you?"

Carol wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Menno couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Since you know you are an outsider, just shut up. You are an ignorant guard, a canary in the palace. Who gave you the courage to question a general's battle plan?"

"Hmph, you bastard from the kingdom, what do you mean?"

"What are you!"

Menno became more and more angry as he spoke. Even as an enemy, he felt sorry for Veigar: "In the breakout of Tully City, if it weren't for General Veigar's ingenious plan to lead your troops to break through our encirclement, your Admiral Callison would have surrendered. What's ridiculous is that you are still questioning whether General Veigar, who advocates fighting to the death, will betray you."

"Was the breakout from Tully City General Vega's idea?"

Princess Xia glanced at Carol. If she remembered correctly, Carol had told her at that time that Vega was only assisting General Callison's breakout plan, and the main planner was their Admiral Callison.

Being exposed in front of others.

Carol couldn't say anything, after all, that was the fact.

Princess Xia guessed the whole situation from Carol's expression. She sighed, and her face was obviously disappointed. Xia didn't want the person who ranked first in her heart to hide the truth from her or even belittle the other person just because he didn't like him.

So I don't know if it was out of spite or some other reason...

Princess Xia looked at Vega with a determined look: "General Vega, Xia is willing to believe you and believe that you will never deceive me. I look forward to the day when you can let me be crowned as the emperor in Saint Laurent City."

“I won’t keep you waiting for long.” Vega gave an affirmative answer.

"Your Highness... No."

Carol wanted to say something, but Princess Xia ignored her and just turned around and left.
