Chapter 326 Feint Attack
Da da da--

On the road to Twilight City, an army of 20,000 people marched in a messy pace.

This is a unit composed entirely of recruits. They do not have the discipline that ordinary soldiers should have and are unsatisfactory in many aspects. Ordinary officers even regard such soldiers as a burden.

But Vega did not despise this group of rabble.

Because he believed that even the most useless soldiers could produce unexpected effects if placed in the right position. It was like a scarecrow, which could not be compared with a real person in any aspect, but could scare away birds and beasts on behalf of humans.

In other words.

Although these new recruits lack combat effectiveness, they are enough to bluff people.

Vega selected 5 new recruits from the 2 new recruits early in the morning, and incorporated the reassembled 1600 Dynasty professional soldiers into them to serve as team leaders or instructors. While heading towards Twilight City, he conducted military training on the way.

Anyway, this time Vega was just pretending and had no intention of attacking the city.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to train the soldiers and make the troops have basic discipline. This solved the first problem in the strategy of "luring the tiger away from the mountain" - feint attack.

The first step of Vega's plan was to have the new recruits launch a feint attack to trick the Dynasty Army into thinking that this was his main force.

He even deliberately walked in front of the troops in order to maintain discipline and prevent them from being exposed, and to confuse the Kingdom Army. After all, what else could a troop commanded by the commander-in-chief be but the main force?
At the same time, it also indirectly makes the enemy feel a huge sense of crisis.

Generally speaking, an army commanded by the commander-in-chief himself must be determined to win this siege. As long as the commander of the kingdom's army sees this scene, he will prejudge Vega's idea of ​​launching a surprise attack on Saint Laurent City.

A sense of crisis is easy to establish.

When Alex Sood, who was on the way to provide support, heard the scout's report that Vega was walking at the forefront of the troops with his sword pointed directly at Twilight City, Alex Sood was completely certain in his heart that Vega was determined to capture Twilight City.

"All troops, speed up."

Division Commander Alex Soder once again ordered his troops to speed up their march. He had to reach the city first to assist in the defense before Vega's troops attacked Twilight City.

"What exactly is this 'devil' planning?"

While marching, Alex Sood muttered softly. To be honest, he really didn't know where Vega got the confidence from. He thought he could capture Twilight City with only 2 people. Was he ignoring their support speed?
Alex Sood believes that Vega's behavior does not live up to his terrible reputation.

If he were the one commanding this war, he would definitely not choose Twilight City or any other city as his target. No, he would not even attack Holy Light City.

Because there is no need at all.

Even a three-year-old child knows that it is absolutely impossible to overthrow the kingdom's nearly 50 troops in the east with only people. The huge gap in numbers meant that the end of this war was foreseen at the very beginning.

But Vega did it anyway.

They even captured Shenghui City at a completely incomprehensible speed, which was even faster than the operating speed of Saint Laurent's defense system. This was also something that Alex Sode found completely incomprehensible.

"Is the other party really a devil?"

Alex Sood rubbed his temples irritably. He found that he could not keep up with Vega's war ideas.

"Perhaps this is the gap between me and the top generals."

Alex Sood attributed the incomprehensible things to the gap in war talent. Although Vega's rank was lower than his, in the eyes of the Kingdom's officers, Vega's command level was more terrifying than any general. The unknown and incomprehensible things are always terrifying.

Since he didn't know Vega's overall strategic plan and hadn't collected detailed information on how Vega managed to capture Holy Light City within 5 hours, Alex Sood could only rely on his own war experience and planned to defend it with all his might.

So time came to the next day.

Vega's new troops have set up camp several thousand meters away from Twilight City, and the support troops from Saint Laurent City have also arrived in Twilight City. Alex Sood has taken over the command of Twilight City.

Alex Sood had some experience in building fortifications.

He first ordered the houses near the city wall to be emptied and the support troops to be placed in the nearest air-raid shelters so that the main force could reinforce the city defense as soon as possible while resisting the enemy's air force.

second.

The magician troops were reorganized and placed at the city gates, forming the V-shaped defense formation most commonly used in the kingdom. Using this formation, the enemy would never be able to break through the city gates without paying a heavy price.

third.

Alex Sood was a general who was good at learning. After studying Vega's war data overnight, he understood some basic street fighting ideas. Therefore, he planned to fight back and weaken Vega's troops as much as possible in this way.

Even so, Alex Sord believed that he could not defend the city.

Vega's reputation was too terrifying for the officers of the Royal Army.

Therefore, Alex Sood arranged these defense lines with the idea of ​​weakening Vega's military strength. He believed that it would be good if he could hold out until the reinforcements from other satellite cities arrived. If he could not hold out until that time, Vega would be unable to covet other cities such as Saint Laurent while taking Twilight City.

Ideas are beautiful.

But in the following day, Alex Sood did not put his defense plan into use. The entire Twilight City waited safely for the arrival of reinforcements from other satellite cities without losing a single soldier.

This made Alex Sood feel even more uneasy, and he couldn't guess what Vega was thinking.

"Report."

Just as Alex Sode was getting restless, a scout ran in hurriedly: "The enemy... the enemy has begun to attack the city."

boom!
Alex Sode was probably too excited and kicked the corner of the table when he stood up, but his eagerness made him ignore the pain in his leg: "Quick, go to the tower and order the main force to provide support immediately. The magicians must guard the city gate."

As the order was issued, the entire Twilight City became busy.

When he climbed up the city wall, he found that Vega's 20,000 troops had already formed an attack formation, and Vega, as the commander-in-chief, ignored the danger and stood in front and gave orders openly.

Gudong.

Alex Sood swallowed.

He realized that there would be a tough battle to fight next. As the commander-in-chief, he was actually on the front line, which showed that he was determined to win the war. This made him begin to question the usefulness of his defense line.
