Mage Veigar

Chapter 327 Battle of Saint Laurent

It wasn't as tough a battle as imagined.

No.

It should be said that this war did not break out.

When Alex Sod arrived at the city wall with tense nerves, ready to fight a tough battle, he found that Vega's troops had retreated, and the previously grand attack formation had turned into an orderly retreat formation.

only……

No matter whether it was an attacking formation or a retreating formation, it all looked a bit awkward. It did not look like the posture that a battle-hardened troop should have. Instead, it revealed the aura of new recruits everywhere.

Is it an illusion?

or fact?

Alex Sood was a little confused.

According to the information he had, Vega was a general with terrible command ability, and Vega's troops were a truly fierce army. Such a terrible army would never act like rookies.

In other words.

Alex Sood automatically thought of a possibility.

Vega ordered his troops to do this in order to confuse his vision, deliberately let him down his guard, and lure him out of the city to pursue.

"General, do we need to order a pursuit?"

A brigade commander couldn't help but step forward and suggest: "The enemy's formation is rigid and their retreat is disorderly. It is obvious that their soldiers are poorly trained. We should take this opportunity to pursue them and we will surely win a great victory."

"Everyone."

Alex Sod did not answer the brigade commander, but asked the officers: "Do you think the devil would make such a stupid mistake? Or do you think his main force is just a group of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield?"

"Hahaha--"

The officers burst into laughter.

After hearing what Alex Sood said, they obviously realized that this was Vega's trick to lure the snake out of its hole.

"This third-rate method underestimates me."

Alex Sode watched Vega's troops leave safely, with a sneer on his face. He guessed that if he ordered a large force to pursue Vega's troops, he would definitely be defeated in this battle.

No matter who you underestimate, don't underestimate the people on the war threat list.

So is this really the case?

A staff officer asked Veigar cautiously, "General, isn't this behavior too risky? It's true that new soldiers need training, but training siege formations and retreat formations right in front of the enemy right away will make the enemy see through this awkward formation connection and they will definitely take the opportunity to wipe us out."

"You think they didn't notice?"

Veigar laughed. “But even if they figured it out, they would automatically misunderstand that this was a trick we used to lure them out of the city gate. So I guarantee they wouldn’t have the courage to order a pursuit.”

That’s right, Vega did this on purpose.

He had realized that he didn't have much time left, as the main force of the Kingdom Army's port city would attack in a month. So while feinting an attack on Twilight City, Vega did not miss any opportunity to train his troops.

This kind of almost actual combat training opportunity is hard to come by.

And the more obvious his performance is, the less likely the enemy will dare to attack. This is the way to use the troops according to their strengths and weaknesses.

Moreover, through this tense and exciting way of training under the enemy's knife, Vega found that this group of recruits had initially acquired some discipline and were familiar with basic siege and retreat formations.

"It turns out that actual combat is the best teacher."

This method of training soldiers is like holding an AK47 against your head and forcing you to study. Even the most undisciplined soldiers will obey under such high pressure.

However, this opportunity for training troops is no longer available.

If his predictions were correct, his main force would attack Saint Laurent tonight.

As soon as Saint Laurent City fell, he had to order the entire army to retreat immediately, otherwise when the Twilight City Kingdom Army reacted, they would have to send out the entire army to tear him apart.

----

Saint Laurent City.

It is currently garrisoned by the Kingdom Army's Third Mage Elite Division, two regiment-level units of approximately 3200 men.

For a huge capital city, 3200 people are really not enough. As the main force rushed to Twilight City for support, they are now unable to even activate the powerful War Colossus.

The only thing that can still be used is probably the crystal hub.

However, the Crystal Hub can only defend against attacks from air forces. Their ground forces are not strong enough in themselves. At this time, they may not be able to withstand the attack of any brigade.

Because the two regiments' high-level armed forces only have a magician squad and a professional brigade.

However, the commanders of the two regiments were not worried.

According to intelligence, the enemy has already marched heavily into Twilight City. Where did the enemy come from?

dong dong dong.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the alarm of enemy attack sounded.

When the two commanders climbed up to the city wall, they almost fainted.

In front of the city gate was a troop of more than 2 people. With bloodthirsty red light in their eyes, they were obviously an elite force that had experienced hundreds of battles. His own soldiers were not at the same level as these troops.

Let’s not mention these for now.

The number of professionals and magicians at the front is eight or nine times theirs. These high-level armed forces alone can directly wipe out 3200 of them. Even if they defend the city, there is no hope of winning this battle.

Why is there such a large army here?

The two commanders didn't have time to investigate further because their breath had already disappeared -

That's right, it's the Shadow Mage team.

In a war without Word Wizards, Shadow Wizards are the gods of death wandering the earth. Their elusive figures make it almost impossible to paralyze the command system.

It is obvious that this battle was a one-sided massacre.

The enemy's magicians were slaughtered before they even had time to cast their spells, not to mention the ordinary Vega soldiers who tried to resist with their pitiful weapons but were burned to ashes by magic.

25 minutes.

This is the total time of the Saint Laurent Campaign.

This ridiculous battle made Adjutant Ilo completely at a loss for words to express his devastated heart.

If he had not commanded it personally, seen it with his own eyes, and heard it with his own ears, even he would have thought that it was some madman telling him an April Fool's joke. A siege was ended in 25 minutes, and the target city was the eternal capital of Saint Laurent?

Ha ha!

Even if the attack was on a small town, no one would believe it.

Therefore, at this moment, Adjutant Iroh completely worshipped Vega as a god.

He had been in a state of panic since the day he received Vega's order. Along the way, he even couldn't sleep well due to excessive tension and fear. After all, the next thing he had to command was the Battle of Saint Laurent.

He was just a lieutenant.

He was just an adjutant.

Let a lieutenant lead an epic battle?
At that moment when he repeatedly confirmed the orders with Vega, he felt that either Vega was crazy or he was crazy, or the world was crazy?

But now it seems that all this was probably part of that person's plan.

Even if a pig were in charge of this battle, it would probably be able to capture Saint Laurent.

But Vega gave him this task.

Now that he had returned to the Empire, he could say with pride that he had commanded the Battle of Saint Laurent under the orders of General Vega, and had captured Saint Laurent, the capital of the Holy Dynasty and the most important city on the Galan Continent.

This impressive resume is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

No, not just for a lifetime.

In the future, his children, grandchildren, and even future generations can be proud of this.

If Veigar was standing in front of him right now, he would even kneel on the ground and kiss his combat boots.

"Becoming the general's adjutant may be the best thing I have ever done in my life."

Iroh muttered to himself, then fell off his horse with a smile and fell asleep. He had not slept for more than 48 hours because he was too nervous. When the war was won, he could no longer hold on.

This joke of a war is destined to go down in history.

When 12 hours later.

When Alex Sod of Twilight City saw the battle report saying that the Imperial Army captured Saint Laurent in 25 minutes, he almost killed the messenger on the spot for lying about military intelligence.

"It's not true, tell me it's not true."

Alex Sood roared like a madman, but the facts would not change because of his anger.
