Mage Veigar

Chapter 363: The Loser Remains Unyielding

As Veigar continued to expand his army, resources were consumed too quickly.

Therefore, the logistical supplies that were originally sufficient have become insufficient and will be exhausted in about a month. Even if Yiluo can make a round trip in a month with light equipment, the empire will not send troops so quickly.

So the amount of supplies must be increased.

Fortunately, Saint Laurent is a wealthy city, and every household has sufficient food reserves, so there is no need to worry about civilians not having enough food to survive this blockade period. What Vega is really worried about is the supply of the army.

There are two ways to get supplies now.

One is to plunder the reserves of grain merchants in the city. They have a huge amount of food, even enough for Vega's army to sustain for a whole year, but Vega did not choose to attack his own people.

Because Vega once gave the order.

The grain merchants in the city were not allowed to raise the grain prices, and every civilian was limited to buying grain with their citizen ID to maintain the stability of the city. If Vega started to plunder the grain merchants at this time, the market would surely collapse, and Saint Laurent would fall into a state of panic and turmoil.

Only when the rear is stable can we be united in facing the outside world.

For the stability of the city.

Vega has made up his mind not to take action against the grain merchants until the very last moment.

Of course, if he really couldn't find supplies, Vega would dare to plunder the food reserves of civilians, not to mention grain merchants.

However, this behavior is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. If he really falls into that situation, he will probably be defeated soon.

Therefore, Vega finally decided to seek a distant target instead of the near one, and set his sights on the wealthy Kingdom Army. The Kingdom Army had almost completely plundered the east, and the reserves of both property and food were astonishingly large.

In other words.

The food that saved Vega's life was nothing more than random discarded debris to the Kingdom's army. As for these inexhaustible debris, ordinary rich people would not send guards to strictly guard them, and the Kingdom's army would not heavily guard them either.

Based on the intelligence collected.

The dynasty army's granary is located in the Falling Star City northeast of Saint Laurent.

The Falling Star City is a satellite city of Twilight City, one of the four main cities in the Saint Laurent defense system. It is located roughly in the middle of Twilight City in the east and Holy Glory City in the north, and its distance from the two cities is almost the same.

There are two heavy defense lines, Holy Light and Twilight, inside the Falling Star City, and three small satellite cities outside to protect it. Therefore, both internally and externally, it is regarded as the safest natural warehouse and is used as a logistics center by the Kingdom Army.

It would be difficult to take this city.

Although a small-scale march can pass through the mountain roads and bypass the eyes of enemy spies, Twilight City and Holy Glory City will not sit idly by once an attack is launched on Falling Star City. They will definitely send reinforcements to Falling Star City as soon as possible to encircle and annihilate the invading enemy.

However, if we use a surprise attack, we might be able to capture this granary.

Vega has already set his target here. What he wants to bet on is that the enemy will not care too much about the defense of the granary. After all, in the history of war in the Jialan Continent, there is no precedent of a general cutting off the logistics of others.

So Vega thought.

His plan of surprise attack on the granary has a very high chance of success. Judging from the current situation, the success rate must be at least 30%. If it is operated properly, this success rate may be even higher.

"If we can destroy the Falling Star City..."

Vega even broke the marker in his hand. He couldn't help but mutter to himself excitedly: "If the Falling Star City is really breached, maybe, maybe the Kingdom Army will be forced to withdraw from the Saint Laurent defense system due to insufficient logistics."

The siege of Saint Laurent was lifted.

If the entire Saint Laurent defense system is taken down, Vega can advance step by step and erode the Kingdom's army, or retreat and wait for the Empire to send troops, and the Kingdom's army will retreat without a fight.

This inconspicuous chess piece, Falling Star City, has the ability to turn the chessboard over.

----

Royal Army, General Headquarters.

Since the Kingdom Army had given up the frontal attack on Saint Laurent and adopted the plan of besieging but not attacking, waiting for Saint Laurent to run out of ammunition and food, the commander-in-chief moved to Saya City, which was closest to the port city.

At this time, there were three generals sitting in the headquarters meeting room.

Leading the team is Commander-in-Chief Tenniel, a five-star general who has fought all his life and is good at almost nothing except war.

Sitting on the right is Ingrir, who was once the commander of the kingdom's first airborne division, but now is a lone commander.

Sitting on the left is Division Commander Alex Sode. As the commander of the kingdom's vanguard, he was the first general to set foot in the dynasty's territory, making the dynasty's army tremble in fear. He was also the former commander-in-chief of the defense of Saint Laurent City.

These three people have one thing in common.

That is, they were all defeated by Vega several times, and they were also the officers who knew Vega best.

They also have a common wish -

Defeat Veigar and prove yourself.

Among them, Ingrir has been fooled by Vega countless times. When it comes to understanding Vega's combat style, almost no one can match him. He has also worked hard to understand all the information about Vega, including his private life. It can be said that he is the person who knows Vega's character best in the world.

Why did these three people get together?
This is of course the masterpiece of Commander-in-Chief Tenniel.

As a commander-in-chief with great military achievements, although he likes to stick to his own opinions and ignore the opinions of his staff most of the time, after being beaten by Vega and losing his way, he has realized a crucial point -

He couldn't defeat Vega by himself.

Although saying this was tantamount to directly admitting that he was not as good as the 13-year-old child, Tenniel did not feel ashamed. War is all about victory, regardless of background and age.

One person's plan is short-sighted.

In order to defeat Vega, Tanniel urgently transferred the two from other cities to the headquarters after the failure of the Battle of Saint Laurent, in order to rely on the two's rich combat experience with Vega to speculate Vega's next move.

"You two, I won't say anything more."

Tanier slammed the table and said, "On the battlefield, no one can guarantee whether they can see the sun tomorrow. I don't want to take the stain of my life into the grave and bring shame to my descendants. Therefore, I must defeat that little devil no matter what and prove to the Kingdom's military and the Galan Continent that I, Tanier, can still hold the sword of command even if I am dying."

"For victory!"

The two men saluted and roared, their eyes flashing with passion.

Tanier's words touched their hearts. The two men's biggest dream now, no, their biggest dream in their entire lives was to defeat that brat and prove to the kingdom's military and the Galan Continent that they were not incompetent commanders.

wow-

Without saying anything extra, he lifted the curtain, and a sand table filled with chess pieces appeared in front of the two of them.
