Mage Veigar

Chapter 376 Return of the King

Wang Guojun, central military camp.

This is where the headquarters is located, and it is also the safest and most core area.

After escaping from Saint Laurent, Ariel, the person in charge of the incident, requested to see the commander-in-chief as soon as he returned to the camp. He wanted to quickly report to the commander Tanier Rheinberg that Vega had returned to Kalini.

"Please come in."

When a voice that sounded intimidating but not angry came from inside the door, he, led by his adjutant, finally met Tanniel.

"What bad news have you brought?"

Ariel couldn't help but be startled by the emotionless voice.

As a soldier under Tanier, he knew very well how great a man this commander-in-chief was. It was no exaggeration to say that there were only one or two generals in the kingdom who could barely reach his level.

But at this time, Tanniel was the only one Ariel had ever seen in his life.

The military uniform draped crookedly on his body, the messy documents piled up like a mountain, the bloodshot eyes and the right hand that can't hold the pen, make people wonder whether this old man can hold on until the end of this war.

But Ariel didn't dare to neglect it.

He quickly reported to Tannier: "General, the plan has failed. We can no longer erect a tombstone in front of Saint Laurent's palace..."

"Captain, tell me your reasons."

Without even raising his head, Tanniel's voice echoed in the conference room.

Gudong.

Captain Ariel swallowed and quickly reported: "Vega, Vega Kalini is back."

"He told me to tell you... to tell you..."

"He, Vega! Vega Kareni has returned! He allowed you to make one last useless struggle with your humble courage, pitiful self-confidence, and foolish expectations."

blah-

The pen in his hand fell to the ground, and Tannier, who was drawing on the map, froze.

He rubbed his sore eyes, but was reluctant to put down his right hand. When he really put it down, if you looked carefully, you would find that the back of his hand was slightly moist.

Tenniel said nothing.

He seemed to be trying to hide something, and he bent down tremblingly to pick up the pen on the ground, but he dropped it again when he had just picked it up halfway, and this time it rolled out of his reach.

It seems that this move has been abandoned.

He carefully sat back in his seat and reached out to pick up the porcelain cup on the table.

However, his weak right hand failed to pick up the porcelain cup and instead knocked it over. The boiling water in the cup dripped down the edge of the table onto the ground, soaking the documents and maps on the table, making a mess.

The adjutant seemed ready to come and clean up.

But Tanniel raised his right hand slightly and weakly stopped the adjutant's action.

He coughed weakly a few times, then said, "I see. Let's leave it at that. Since that brat has returned, I think Ingrid's army is not far behind. Let him come to see me when he returns."

"Yes, Commander."

Ariel saluted and left the meeting room.

Until now he still couldn't believe that the confident, arrogant, and strong commander-in-chief would become like this because of that little kid. He was no longer the same commander but a dying old man.

Can such a commander really defeat that little devil?

The previous scene appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

The moment the child appeared, he immediately attracted his attention. Perhaps ordinary people just thought that the kid's aura was terrifying, but only those who had actually been on the battlefield knew what kind of murderous aura that was.

That murderous aura has condensed into a physical entity.

How many people does one have to kill to have such a terrifying murderous aura?
Ariel didn't know. All he knew was that he was so scared that he didn't dare to move even for a moment.

At that time, he had an intuition that if he dared to move one more step, he would die on the spot.

Ariel still cannot forget the look in that child's eyes. For a moment, he realized that the precious life of a human being was... not worth mentioning in the eyes of that little kid.

Killer, executioner, butcher?
No, these nouns do not do justice to the murderous aura that is almost tangible.

Devil! Only a devil could truly match his identity. When the flying sword pierced his teammate through, and blood splashed on his face, he was already extremely sure of this.

Exaggeration?
No! I can only say that words cannot express even a fraction of it. Anyone who dares to question this must have never really looked into those eyes that are not human before daring to raise doubts.

So now.

Ariel just wants to stay away from the battlefield and return to his homeland.

He never wanted to see that face or meet those eyes again in his life.

Even though he knew that there were 20 people standing behind him, he did not think he could win. After all, could human wisdom and means defeat the devil?

Wait, defeat?
How arrogant was I to have the guts to utter that word in front of that devil!
Ariel leaned weakly against the wall outside the door, speechless for a long time.

----

Saint Laurent City.

Vega briefly comforted Shia, then locked himself in the office, looking for a way to defeat the enemy.

Of course, no one will ask whether to fight or surrender during this process.

Suggesting surrender in front of Veigar?

Vega is not Shia. No one thinks that his life is too long. If someone says something like this, it would be strange if he is not killed by Vega's sword. No one dares to provoke someone as powerful as Vega.

Everyone stopped in front of Vega.

I have to say that their judgment was correct.

The decisive battle will be tomorrow. Is there anyone who wants to get in the way at such a critical moment?
Then Vega really wouldn't mind making the opponent disappear with one sword, so that he could have peace of mind thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

Although no matter from which angle you look at it, the balance of victory in this war is tilting towards the kingdom, and any countermeasures seem pale and powerless, there is still hope of winning, because the kingdom's army lacks food.

As long as they can hold out in this war for two days, the kingdom’s army will collapse.

So the question is, how to last the next two days.

It is indeed difficult to defeat the Kingdom Army head-on with only 2 combat forces and 8 cannon fodder, but if it is just to delay them for two days, Vega can still give it a try. What if he really wins?

Even if I lose.

At worst, Vega could take Xia and abandon everyone and escape from Saint Laurent.

He still has a 3000-man seed force, and according to the time, Yiluo has probably arrived at the Immortal City of the Empire, ready for the final negotiations. If the negotiations are successful, it is only a matter of time before the Kingdom withdraws its troops, and there is still a chance for a comeback.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Now we need to consider the tactics to deal with the enemy.

So how can we kill an army of up to 20?
This problem may be a fantasy for others, but it is not impossible for Vega.

Street fighting is one of the best ways to deal with blitzkrieg, and it is also one of the most typical delaying tactics. Vega once used a combination of street fighting and guerrilla warfare concepts to fight the Kingdom Army in Kareni for more than a month.

This time.

It doesn't take a month, or even a week, it only takes 2-3 days.

Of course, as a qualified commander, one will not put all his eggs in one basket.

It is too risky to delay the enemy by means of street fighting and guerrilla warfare. The number of the enemy and the momentum of a last-ditch fight are no joke. Once you get out of hand, there will be no way to turn the situation around.

Therefore, this tactic is just Veigar's back-up plan.

He did have another, more risky and daring plan in mind to force the Kingdom Army to retreat without a fight.
