Mage Veigar

Chapter 320 Carol's Plan
Boom boom boom——

As the war airship's magical bombardment fell, it marked the arrival of Vega's main force.

After controlling the east gate, the main force marched straight in. More than 2 soldiers swept through Shenghui City like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and slaughtered the city in just over three hours.

The war lasted until 23:49 that evening.

After all, the enemy only had a standard brigade of 6000 people. After losing the important defense line of the city gate, there was no way they could defeat half of Vega's legion. What's more, the Kingdom Army did not understand the so-called street fighting.

to the opposite.

As the first officer to use street fighting in this world, Vega was able to use mature street fighting concepts to annihilate the enemy and drive them out of the city. Therefore, in this battle, Vega's troops only lost more than 1000 people.

Among these more than 1000 people, 4/5 were killed in the battle for the East Gate.

Of course, the kingdom's losses were even greater.

Due to Vega's surprise attack, the enemy's chief commander was killed, the combat command center was destroyed, and coupled with Vega's bloody order not to accept prisoners, only one in ten of the 6000 enemy soldiers survived.

All in all, it’s a big win!
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

As soldiers all over the city shouted victory, the Saint Laurent flag with a golden crown pattern was raised on the top of the city wall, heralding the return of Holy City to the embrace of the Holy Dynasty.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The cheers continued until the second half of the night.

Taking over Shenghui City not only indicated that Vega's plan of "using the emperor to control the princes" had taken the crucial first step, but also gave all the soldiers in the army a large dose of stimulants.

The successive victories gave them confidence.

Now they regard Vega's orders as oracles, and the execution of his orders has reached an unprecedented level. As long as it is Vega's order, they will enforce it no matter how unreasonable it is.

Simple soldiers don't think too much.

For them, they would obey the orders of whoever could lead them to victory and bring them back alive, and the only one who could do that was Vega. Therefore, anyone who dared to question or hinder Vega's orders was considered an enemy who did not want them to live.

Some are happy and some are sad.

As the main "protagonist" of this war, the commander of the Kingdom Army, Menno, followed Vega and others. He looked at the lifeless bodies of the Kingdom Army and cried like a 250-pound fat man.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Menno wiped his tears and choked up as he said, "Can I go back? Can I go back? Can I go back? I am a sinner, the eternal sinner of the kingdom.

"Then you should die to atone for your sin."

Vega saw through Menno's thoughts at a glance, so he threw a cross sword in front of him.

This action made Menno stand up immediately. He respectfully handed the cross sword back to Vega and said, "I don't want to die yet, but after doing something like this, I'm afraid I can't go back. Please take me in."

That’s right, his performance was just to express——

He can't go back, he wants to join the Imperial Army.

Even if Vega let him go at this moment, he didn't want to go back to the United Kingdom. Ten heads would be enough to pay for what he had done today, so he pretended to be pitiful.

Vega took the cross sword.

This foreshadowed that he agreed to Menno's request: "Stay with me as a personal advisor, but I can't give you any official position. Do you have any objection?"

"Thank you for taking me in, General."

Menno immediately straightened up and said, "The Kingdom has raised an unjust army, causing great suffering to the people of the Holy Dynasty. From today on, I will abandon the dark and join the light, and I will sever my ties with the Kingdom Army."

A golden lion flag of the kingdom in flames was cut off by Menno, which was a pledge of allegiance to Vega.

Vega nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps the fear of death was not accepted by most people, but in Vega's opinion, this kind of character was easier to control. It was definitely better to save Menno's life than to kill him.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Menno was nervous about joining Vega's camp, and Vega was busy with the post-war cleanup and summary work until dawn. Even Carol and Princess Shia, who had nothing to do, couldn't fall asleep.

For Sia and Carol, today is a day that overturns their thoughts and opens the door to a new world.

19:00-23:49 minutes.

This is the total time of the Holy Light City War from the attack to the end, which is less than 5 hours in total.

Take over a large or medium-sized city in 5 hours?

This kind of thing has a huge impact on them.

They were born and raised in the dynasty and knew the situation in Shenghui City very well.

The thick city walls could withstand dozens of days of bombardment by magicians and warships. As long as a small magician team was stationed at the narrow city gate, no enemy troops could get close. Even a brigade was enough to stop a legion's attack for seven days.

There is historical precedent for all of this.

But what about Veigar’s?

When Vega first said that it would take 24 hours to capture Holy Light City, Carol really thought he was telling a joke. But later, she got a positive answer, and even Xia thought Vega was crazy.

But now it seems that they are just looking at the world from a narrow perspective.

The fact that they took over Holy Light City in just five hours dealt them a heavy blow, making them realize that Vega was not lying, nor was he arrogant. Instead, he was suspected of being overly modest.

"Carol, I want to cancel my plans to go back west."

Xia looked at Carol seriously and said, "I believe General Vega can capture Saint Laurent City. The king of the dynasty should be crowned as emperor in Saint Laurent City. I think Grandpa must want to see this day."

"Your Highness, this is too risky."

Carol quickly stopped him and said, "That kid is really good at marching and fighting, but this alternative tactic can't be used many times. Now all the information about the fall of Shenghui City has probably been sent to the Kingdom Army's Saint Laurent Command. I don't think that kid can capture Saint Laurent City in a short time. Please follow my advice."

Carol's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent. "When that brat gets caught up in the tug-of-war in Saint Laurent City and attracts the port city kingdom's army to come out in full force, we will sneak away from here and take the opportunity to cross the river to the west bank."

"Absolutely not!"

Xia's face was livid as she said, "General Vega could have fled back to the empire with his troops, but he risked his life to attack Saint Laurent so that I could be crowned emperor in Saint Laurent City. How could I use him as bait and leave him?"

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not dwell on small details."

Carol said excitedly: "And as a royal family of the dynasty, how can Your Highness rely on an imperial general? This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your Highness, please follow me to cross the river to the west bank when that brat attacks Saint Laurent."

"Don't talk about this anymore."

Xia rejected the question firmly: "Although General Vega is a general of the Empire, I believe in his character. He even advocated fighting to the death and helping General Kellison break through the siege. But what about you?"

Having said that, Xia's face showed disappointment again.

As she opened the door, she said, "But you hid the truth from me, Carol. I am a little disappointed in you. Don't mention this matter again. I will never abandon General Vega. If the Battle of Saint Laurent fails, the worst that can happen is that I will die."

boom!
The door was slammed shut and Xia returned to her room.

She did not turn on the magic lamp, but curled up behind the door with her legs hugged, muttering to herself: "General Vega, Xia swears that even if I die with you in this war, I will never use you to cross the Dunbu River."

In the next room.

Carol tightly grasped the water glass, his eyes flashing with anger: "Vega Kareni!!"

The water cup in his hand shattered.

"There's no way that brat could capture Saint Laurent City."

Carol's eyes turned firm. "Your Highness, I must take advantage of this God-given opportunity to take you across the river to the west bank, even if I have to use an impolite method and even make you hate me. But one day you will understand my good intentions."
