Chapter 367: The Reality of the False
Saint Laurent City.

Vega has already organized an elite force and is now waiting for news from Menno.

If everything goes well, then the commander of the kingdom's army must have been deceived by Menno and believed that he would really attack Saya City and escape from the Saint Laurent defense system.

This is the difference between theory and actual implementation.

If the enemy is a layman who doesn't understand war, just follow the steps and this step can be skipped.

But if the enemy is a commander of repute, then one must consider the possibility that he may have seen through one's plan.

Without planning to change the target.

This makes it necessary to take some measures to confuse the public.

First, you must blindfold the opponent so that the enemy can only see the plan you want to show him.

Secondly, you need to block the opponent's ears so that the enemy can only hear the information you want him to hear.

As long as the enemy is shown a wrong plan and hears false information, they will lose their direction and will instantly deny something they once believed in.

in short.

All Vega did was to provide some intelligence to the enemy and let them make their own judgment instead of interfering.

Human beings are extremely conceited and arrogant creatures. In most cases, they firmly believe in the conclusions they draw and turn a blind eye to the truth.

What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual.

This is a way of using troops that is always successful, and Vega is well versed in it.

He openly told the enemy about the plan he was about to implement. This method of pretending to be real could easily shake the enemy's mind and confuse them.

Then, hint to the enemy that there is a more perfect plan, making the enemy think that you will definitely choose the best option, and then make the other party believe it without a doubt. This is a method of pretending to be real.

So what we have to wait for now is Menno’s news.

If Menno's performance was a little better, then after receiving the news that everything was going well, Vega could directly send troops to Starfall City and catch the enemy off guard.

As for whether Menno would betray him?

First of all, Vega is not the kind of leader who only gives sweet treats but not the big sticks.

While giving Menno what he wanted, he also gave him a poison that would relapse at a fixed time, so that he would have no way out. If Menno did not return to Saint Laurent within a month, he would surely die from the poison.

Menno was also quite clear about this.

Therefore, he had to perform hard instead of selling out Vega. After all, what he feared most was death.

Compared to the gentlemen who would rather die than surrender, Vega prefers the villains who forget their principles for the sake of profit.

To control this kind of villain, just cater to their needs, give them sweet treats, and at the same time remember to firmly grasp the things they fear in your hands, and they will not be able to escape from your palm.

So Menno had nowhere to escape.

A day later, Vega finally received a letter from Menno saying that everything was going well.

As soon as he received the letter, Vega ordered the entire army to be on high alert and to leave the city immediately after dark.

In this battle, we must capture the Falling Star City at all costs and revitalize the entire chess game.

1:00 am.

The gates of Saint Laurent were opened for the first time since the coronation.

Vega's army set out in darkness, with the men sealed and the horses wrapped in cloth, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the Kingdom Army. The 3000 men quickly advanced towards the hidden mountain road without making any noise along the way.

Although the paths around the Twilight Mountains are steep and difficult to navigate, it is precisely because of the steep terrain that there are no reconnaissance troops from the Kingdom Army. This road can pass through Twilight City and Holy Glory City and reach Starfall City in two days. "General, we are almost there."

By the evening of the third day, Vega was already able to see the Falling Star City from afar.

Through the military telescope, Vega could clearly see that the gates of Starfall City were wide open, the guards at the gate were drowsy, and there was no preparation for a fight. The entire city was in an undefended state.

"The whole army is resting."

Vega gave the order to rest: "We will launch a surprise attack at 24:00 tonight. We only have one night left. If we cannot break into the city and burn the supplies tonight and then escape unscathed, then when daybreak comes, the reinforcements of Holy Light and Twilight will cut us into pieces."

"Everyone!"

Vega glanced at everyone and said, "Please enjoy this moment of peace before the war."

"For victory!"

As the spears were straightened, all the soldiers looked expectant.

That’s right, it was anticipation rather than fear. If they didn’t have to wait until night to take action, they would even want to launch an attack on Starfall City right now.

Perhaps in Vega's opinion.

The upcoming battle for Starfall City was not a war worthy of complacency and pride, because there was almost no suspense in this war, and the enemy had been played at his mercy.

There is no reason to brag about a war like this which is not difficult.

It stands to reason that only wars like the one between Carlini and Saint Laurent, where victory or death is the key, can truly be called wars, and only such wars can strain his nerves to the limit.

But isn’t this battle a little too boring?
But soldiers are different from other officers.

Only they knew clearly what kind of miracle the upcoming war was... No! This war was already worthy of the title of an epic battle.

need to know.

Once the Falling Star City is captured and the supplies are destroyed, the Kingdom Army can only withdraw temporarily. If they do not withdraw, they may collapse before the new supplies arrive from the port city.

In other words.

What Vega has to do today is to use 3000 soldiers to repel an enemy force of 20!
Has there been such a war in history?

No! not a single one!

Not to mention 3000, even a war in which 3 people repelled an army of 20 is unverifiable. Therefore, if this battle was truly successful, a truly epic, even legendary battle would have been born.

This is not a fictional war zone.

This is the real world. In this war-torn world, an epic battle is enough to make a general and shock the entire Jialan continent.

As a direct participant in this war.

These 3000 people may be remembered by history, and this war is destined to achieve immortality.

So when faced with the coming war, they are looking forward to it rather than fearing it.

For glory and victory, it is okay to sacrifice one's life.

And the commander of this war is none other than their belief - Vega.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have not tasted real failure since following Vega. Instead, they have done what other officers and soldiers would not even dream of doing - capturing Saint Laurent and sweeping across the Kingdom Army.

So die with honor tonight.

When the early morning came, Vega gave an order and the entire army launched an attack on Starfall City.
