Mage Veigar

Chapter 328 One move is missing

Saint Laurent lost.

At this moment, all the officers in Twilight City fell silent.

When they got the detailed intelligence, they finally understood the entire command process of this war.

First of all, Vega has no motive to attack Saint Laurent.

After all, Saint Laurent is the strongest city, and most generals will only choose satellite cities.

This successfully planted a preconceived seed in everyone's minds.

Secondly, recruiting new soldiers, feinting an attack on Twilight, and having the commander personally go to the front line...all of this successfully attracted everyone's attention to this army, making them mistakenly believe that Vega was really going to attack Twilight.

The intelligence on taking over Shenghui City within 5 hours was deliberately not controlled, but the specific method of attack was not disclosed.

This intensified everyone's sense of crisis, forcing them to go all out. They didn't even dare to leave many defensive troops behind. They tried every means to build Twilight City's defense line, and even neglected the intelligence work around Saint Laurent.

Finally, the main force attacked Saint Laurent when the tiger had already left the forest.

What does Saint Laurent have at this time?
Just 3200 soldiers.

Therefore, it took only 2 minutes for 25 people to capture the city of Saint Laurent.

"Devil, that guy is simply a devil who manipulates people's hearts."

Alex Sood disregarded his image and held his head in agony in front of everyone. This chain of tactics to lure the tiger away from the mountain was so deceiving that they didn't realize it until now, and he was completely made a fool of.

That’s right, I was fooled!
The short devil was even training new soldiers right in front of him.

This behavior is simply an insult to them. After today, they will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Jialan Continent. As the defeated party, they lost the City of Saint Laurent in 25 minutes.

"If I hadn't left Saint Laurent at that time."

"If I hadn't taken that brat so seriously."

"If we pursue that brat while he's retreating."

"if……"

Countless ifs came out of Alex Sood's mouth, but among so many ifs, he had never done any of them, and it was completely useless to regret now.

2 main forces have already taken over Yves Saint Laurent.

Now, let alone their mere tens of thousands of troops, even if they had 10 or 20, it would be impossible to capture Saint Luo City in a short period of time. The towering city walls, the powerful war colossus, and the crystal hub for air defense were not just for show.

"Master, what should we do?"

A brigade commander came forward to ask for advice.

However, Alex Sood was traumatized by Vega's psychological warfare. He now felt that every move he made was within Vega's calculations, and he was even more afraid of paying a more painful price for making a certain decision.

therefore--

Alex Sood issued an extremely useless but popular order: "All units return to defend the satellite cities, stop all actions, and wait for the support of the 20 main forces in the port city to arrive."

"The general is wise."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Vega's reputation was already terrifying enough, and this battle made them realize even more why Vega was named the devil of war who manipulates people's hearts in the war. Therefore, being ordered to keep the troops in place was perfect in their opinion.

anyway.

None of them intended to fight another losing war with Vega.

----

The kingdom remained silent.

But that doesn't mean Vega will give up. Saint Laurent is the center of the defense system. The extremely fast support of this system revolves around Saint Laurent. Once Saint Laurent is occupied by Vega, several satellite cities will be separated and isolated.

In other words.

Vega doesn't even need to bother with any conspiracies or tricks. He can just use conventional warfare to recapture the satellite cities one by one without having to worry about getting hurt wherever he goes because of the enemy's extremely fast support speed.

As in the phenomenon.

Vega can use Saint Laurent City as a barrier to block the enemy's reinforcements from several satellite cities on the way. Even if they break through the blocking line, the satellite cities that need reinforcements have already been lost.

Use this method of defeating them one by one.

Vega is confident that he can take over the entire Saint Laurent defense system within half a month to 20 days.

Once the city is captured and logistical supplies are in place, he can use the reputation of Xia's orthodoxy and the tactics of public opinion to build a large army of new recruits.

Vega also had a plan for the training of the new recruits.

In this extraordinary period, Vega no longer intends to use conventional training methods.

He planned to deploy the new recruits directly into the frontal siege of the satellite cities. Even though this action would result in a large number of casualties, or even a situation where only 10 in 1 survived, it was indeed the best way to quickly develop combat effectiveness.

And the population base of Saint Laurent City is huge.

As long as the water army's propaganda tactics are appropriate, there is no need to worry about the supply of new recruits.

In Vega's plan, he would use Shia's reputation to recruit 60 new soldiers for the siege of the satellite city. The 10 soldiers who were able to stay at the end must have been combat-ready, which would be enough to deal with the main force of the Kingdom Army in a month.

But is it really okay for so many soldiers to die?

With the control of public opinion and a series of victories, the rumors questioning Vega's disregard for human life and disregard for the lives of soldiers will definitely be suppressed, and he can naturally use the lives of the dynasty's citizens to achieve his own goals.

In Vega's opinion.

Not to mention that sacrificing 60 young and middle-aged people would be enough to stabilize the situation, he would not hesitate even if he had to "painfully" sacrifice 120 million people.

He could even shed a few tears in front of the people to commemorate the hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

Finally, let's give these victims a high-sounding title:

Heroes who protect the dynasty.

While Vega was rushing to Saint Laurent with 2 new recruits, he made this detailed plan.

"The whole army is advancing at an accelerated pace."

Vega shouted the order, he couldn't wait to get back to Saint Laurent.

By now Princess Xia has probably been brought back to Saint Laurent City by Adjutant Ilo. Vega believes that the coronation ceremony can be held tomorrow, allowing Xia Saint Laurent to officially become the Queen of the Holy Dynasty.

Once Xia is crowned as emperor.

Then Vega can take advantage of this favorable situation and take the opportunity to recruit a large number of new soldiers.

At the same time, if the news spreads, nearby professionals and magicians, as well as deserters from various troops, will surely regroup and fight for the glory of the Queen and the dynasty.

Plus, Saint Laurent City is the dynasty’s faith.

This will definitely boost morale and spark a real counterattack.

By then, even if Vega wanted to give up the lost and recovered city of Saint Laurent, the people of the dynasty would not agree.

The plan was perfect to the extreme.

Even Vega was thankful that God sent Sia Saint Laurent to him. Without Sia, it would be almost impossible to accomplish all this. Princess Sia was the core of the plan.

But when Vega returned to Saint Laurent, he received news that almost made him faint.

Princess Shia Saint Laurent is missing!
