Mage Veigar

Chapter 366: Reality is Falsehood
Saya Castle, headquarters of the Kingdom Army.

Based on Tanier and the other two's profound understanding of Vega, and relying on their own brains, they reached the same level of thinking as Vega for the first time, and also found the only turning point among countless cities.

If Vega grasps this point, they will be doomed.

But if this huge loophole was discovered in advance, the situation would be completely different.

Therefore, two days later, Tanir began to organize troops to strengthen the defense of Falling Star City while setting up ambushes, preparing to keep Vega in Falling Star City forever.

"This time, I must defeat that little devil!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Tanier's desire for victory had reached its peak. He believed that with Vega's intelligence, he would definitely attack the Falling Star City. And this trap set by the wisdom of the three of them, how could they not win?
"It's time for the devil to face judgment."

"The Kingdom will triumph."

The three of them jointly issued their own declaration, and they were full of confidence in this battle.

But at this moment, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion knocked on the door and walked in.

He took a look at the situation in the meeting room, then walked straight to Tanier and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I have something to report. We have found an enemy spy who has established an underground organization in the city... No, it should be a traitor in our army."

"Spy? Traitor?"

Tanier laughed in anger, "Bring him up to me!"

It was impossible not to be angry. To Tanniel, Vega's action was an insult to his intelligence.

Not only did they send spies to the city where his main force was stationed, they even openly established an underground organization. This showed that they completely ignored the strength of his reconnaissance force, or that they did not regard him as a qualified opponent at all.

No matter what it is.

In Tanier's opinion, Vega definitely underestimated him and did not regard him as a five-star admiral at all.

This also made Tanier more determined to bury Vega in the Falling Star City.

----

It was a dark room, and the door was heavily guarded by the Kingdom Army.

Menno was imprisoned in a small dark room, his face filled with indescribable fear.

A few days ago, under Vega's order, he was forced to go on a business trip to Saya Castle at public expense and began his plan to bribe all kinds of people and form a naval branch. This plan was discovered by the Royal Army Reconnaissance Battalion just one day after it started.

This is also a matter of course.

To set up an underground organization in someone else's base camp? This is clearly an insult to their vision.

If Saint Laurent didn't have a lovely wife waiting for him to return, Menno might have run away halfway. However, now that he is a prisoner, he can only wait for an audience with the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's army and then act according to Vega's instructions.

creak-

The door was opened, and the dark room was filled with light again.

"Get up!"

Two soldiers roughly lifted Menno up and forced him to walk forward.

"Let me go, let me go, I want to see the commander-in-chief."

Menno didn't know whether the commander-in-chief would meet with him or execute him directly, so he was trembling with fear and could only howl a few times to vent his fear.

"Go in."

They were taken to a room door and two soldiers pushed Menno inside.

"it's him?"

Commander-in-chief Tanniel looked down at Menno and said, "Although I don't know why you betrayed the kingdom, I already know that you, as a lackey, helped that brat to create public opinion and incite the civilians, causing our army to be defeated. So, tell me your last words, and I will leave you an intact body."

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is innocent. I was forced to do this."

Menno always keeps a clear mind before his death, so he realized at the first moment that if the commander-in-chief wanted to kill him, he would not summon him in person. He must want to know something about Vega's movements from him.

So he immediately said: "Commander-in-chief, please understand that I dream of returning to the kingdom all the time, but I am afraid that the kingdom will know my situation and order my death. So I have nowhere to go and can only be forced to serve the enemy."

Menno's true feelings came out when he said this.

While wiping his tears, he said sadly: "My whole family is in the kingdom, and my ancestors for eight generations have been soldiers of the kingdom. If I had a choice, how could I possibly serve the enemy? Your humble servant, your humble servant is just afraid of death."

Because it is a true expression of feelings.

Tanier and the other two had no doubts. Sitting in this position, they could tell at a glance whether Menno was lying or not.

Therefore, in order to get more information, Tanier coughed twice and said, "I can pardon your death sentence, let you return to the embrace of the kingdom, and even restore your official position, but the prerequisite is that you can provide me with satisfactory information."

"Yes, of course."

Menno immediately said: "I am a humble official, but that brat entrusted me with an important task and made me the commander of the underground organization 'Navy', so I was able to access some core intelligence."

"Oh?" Tenniel stared at Menno's eyes and found that Menno was not lying. He said, "In that case, show your worth. We three generals will not lie to a small colonel like you."

"I trust the commander-in-chief."

Menno remembered Vega's plan, so he read out the plan: "By chance, I heard about that kid's next battle plan. He seemed to want to lead his troops to attack Saya City, break through the defense line and cross the Donbu River to the west."

"How dare you deceive the commander-in-chief!"

Yinglier slammed the table, drew out his long sword and pointed it at Menno, saying, "Based on the current situation, how could that daring kid leave Saint Laurent so easily? He will definitely attack the Falling Star City. You are still loyal to that kid. You came here to deceive us on purpose, right?"

"As expected...as expected..."

There was no sign of fear on Menno's face. Instead, he kept repeating the same sentence, which again attracted Tanniel's attention.

He pressed his hand, signaling England to calm down, and then said: "Just tell us everything you know. If everything is true, we will not kill you."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Menno thanked him again, and then said, "I heard what General Ingril said just now from that kid at the meeting. He said that those idiots in the kingdom would definitely think that we would attack Falling Star City, and then divide the main force stationed in Shaye City into four cities, or even set up an ambush in Falling Star City and wait for me to fall into the trap..."

"This, this, this!"

Alex Sood and Ingrid's faces changed, but Tanniel's expression remained unchanged. However, if you look carefully, you will find that his whole body is stiff in his seat. Has the plan they have been planning for half a day been discovered?

"Go on."

Commander-in-Chief Tanniel's voice was a little hoarse.

This hoarse voice made Menno couldn't help but mutter again about Vega's brilliant plan.

Then he continued with the prepared answer: "That kid also said that when you start to divide your troops and focus on defending Xingyue City, they will take advantage of your lack of preparedness and attack Shaye City with 10 troops. They will be able to easily capture Shaye and break through to the west bank. Using this method, the crisis of food shortage and siege can be easily solved, and they can regroup when they reach the west bank. It is really a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone."

"Did he really say that?"

Tanier's heart trembled a little. Menno's words had already made him believe 70% of it, because others might not have such wisdom, but the other party was a devil who played with people's hearts. Wasn't it natural for him to guess the inner thoughts of the three of them?

From this it can be seen that their thinking is not deep enough.

If they had not found Menno, the coward, everything would probably have gone according to Vega's script. By then, even if they had mastered the Saint Laurent defense system and allowed Vega to escape to the west coast to regroup, they would have been the ones to fail in the end.

Because with equal strength, the three of them really did not have the courage to defeat Vega.

However, Yinggeril was quite alert at this time. He asked intentionally or unintentionally, "There are only 2 imperial soldiers in Saint Laurent. Where did the 10 troops come from? Even if the commander-in-chief divides the troops into four cities and focuses on defending Xingyue City, it is absolutely impossible for Saya City to be breached by only 2 soldiers. This plan seems reasonable, but it is nonsense. I think you are deceiving us."

"I dare not."

Menno quickly explained, "You three adults may not know that in addition to the 2 imperial troops in the city, there are also 8 regrouped and recruited royal troops. The 5 new soldiers were responsible for the defense of Saint Laurent at that time."

"is this real?"

Tanier looked at the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, who had come in from Yasongmenno, and quickly replied, "According to intelligence, there are indeed 10 soldiers in Saint Laurent City now, which is why the enemy is short of food."

After getting a positive answer, the three of them believed it 99% of the time.

They looked at each other, and finally Tannier said to the adjutant: "Take this guy away first, but remove his shackles and treat him with courtesy. When this matter is confirmed to be true, restore his official position."

Menno was taken away and the others also left the room.

When only Ingrier and the other two were left in the meeting room, Commander-in-Chief Tanniel spoke up: "In your opinion, is this intelligence true?"

"I think it's credible."

Yinglier said, "If it is said that others with the same military strength would find it impossible to capture Saya City in a short period of time, but that kid can definitely do it. And the fact that he has arranged for his naval commander to go to Saya City to make arrangements in advance is the best proof."

"Seconded."

Alex Soder echoed, "That kid probably didn't expect that this naval commander was not only incompetent, but also extremely afraid of death. This threat made him reveal all the intelligence."

"It seems that we are indeed too self-righteous."

Tanier said weakly, "We are frogs in the well after all. Even if we jump out of the well and see the sky, we cannot understand the world through the eyes of birds. That kid's control over people's hearts is really terrifying. If he hadn't stayed in Saint Laurent City, I would even suspect that he had peeped at our meeting that day. We almost fell into his trap again."

"Master Commander, please do not underestimate yourself."

"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation."

Ingrid smiled maliciously: "Even if he has planned everything, he will still accomplish nothing with a bunch of pig-like teammates. It seems that we just need to wait and see until he falls into our trap."

"Hahaha, that's absolutely true."

Tanier also let out a long sigh. "Order to cancel the plan of dividing the troops into four cities and trapping Falling Star City. Our 20-man army will remain stationary and let that little devil fall into the trap. I can't wait to see his incredulous expression."

"The commander-in-chief is wise."

As the plan was finalized, laughter broke out in the office.
