Mage Veigar

Chapter 397 Interlocking
Killing is necessary.

Although it seemed that he could no longer be a dragon-slaying warrior, he could not let the precious sword gather dust. Based on the principle that waste is shameful, the dragon-slaying sword that was used against the Kingdom’s army began to show its sharpest blade towards Callison.

Therefore, when all of Kerison's troops entered the residential area, it meant that they had entered hell.

It can indeed be described by the word 'hell'.

First came the rain of arrows that rained down from commanding heights and rooftops. These arrows were soaked in oil and wrapped in cloth, and ignited at the slightest touch, instantly setting the marching streets on fire. The soldiers suffered casualties before they even saw the enemy.

After the rain of arrows, there was a blow of magic.

Flames exploded and fell in the densely populated area, like a passing typhoon crushing wheat ears, knocking down a large area at a time.

Explosions, screams, cries...

Houses were burning with raging fire, which not only made the surrounding temperature rise suddenly, but also blocked the soldiers' vision. Not only could they not tell which direction the enemy was, but they didn't even know where to escape.

Chaos, complete chaos.

This block of streets has turned into a hell of karmic fire.

Not to mention these soldiers, even Callison had seen such a scene for the first time and he had no idea how to deal with it.

By now, he finally understood that the enemy's previous magic attacks were simply to deliberately expose their position and lure him into the trap of fire.

What to do now?
Kellison knew that he must not lose his composure at this time. The enemy's use of these conspiracies and tricks would only expose their lack of manpower. Therefore, he immediately ordered the troops: "Charge! Charge! Get out of the residential area and we will win."

It must be mentioned that there is nothing wrong with this command.

Only the residential area was covered by the fire. As long as he escaped to the commercial area in front, the empty areas and tall buildings would make it impossible for him to suffer heavy losses by using this kind of fire attack.

But you need to know.

Under the cover of the fire, the residential area is now a hell full of dangers.

These 5 people had to break through this area, enduring arrows and magic flying from unknown directions. There was even a special team of professionals carrying out decapitation missions according to the coordinates provided by the wind mage on the commanding heights.

In this confusing situation.

No one can organize an effective force to retain the professionals, let alone the shadow mages who are even more unpredictable than the professionals.

Callison watched all this, his heart bleeding.

He didn't even know how many troops he would have left to clean up the mess after this battle.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task is to rush to the commercial district and reorganize the offensive force.

Thanks to Kerison's order to charge forward regardless of casualties, they finally rushed out of the residential area surrounded by flames an hour later, but the price they paid was heavy.

Of the 5 soldiers, nearly 1 were killed or wounded.

In addition to casualties, the number of missing and deserters exceeded 1, which reduced his 5 soldiers to less than 3. The number of casualties on Vega's side was less than 400, most of whom were ordinary archers.

As for the cause of death...

No matter how pathetic the enemy is, the magician is still a real magician, and it is easy for him to kill a few ordinary people.

"I still have 30,000. I still have 30,000 soldiers."

Callison had begun to panic, but he could only comfort himself that he still had 3 soldiers, which was definitely more than the imperial troops, and the balance of victory was still on their side.

And this is a commercial district.

The roads here are wide, there are many tall buildings, and the structures are sturdy.

Even if the enemy used the same trick again, as long as they walked in the middle of the road, they would not be affected by the flames. At worst, they could hide in large buildings that even flames could not penetrate and wait for the enemy's attack to end.

Ideas are beautiful.

But what Kellison could think of, Vega could certainly think of as well. The purpose of using the jagged and narrow terrain of the residential area to launch a fire attack was to make the prey panic and have no choice but to go somewhere else. It was in this commercial area that the essence of street fighting really unfolded.

It was still a rain of arrows and magic attacks.

Falling from the commanding heights was a rain of arrows and magic of various types. This time, not only fire magicians joined the battle.

Because on the commanding heights, there is no need to maintain any basic mage battle formation. You just need to attack blindly and suppress the enemy with overwhelming firepower so that they can't raise their heads.

This type of fighting cannot be carried out in residential areas.

Because the civilian housing in Saint Laurent was too short, the enemy could easily launch a counterattack.

But the commercial district is different.

There are countless commanding heights here, and the most solid buildings are here.

For this plan, Vega made countless sets of crossbows.

It is no exaggeration to say that Vega consumed almost half of the logistical supplies, so that almost every one of the 2 imperial soldiers had a crossbow, and there were enough arrows at the supply points, making the enemy feel the malice from long-range attacks.

As for the shield?

It is impossible for troops who are there to attack a city to carry too many shields. Even if they have shields, they can protect against arrows but cannot protect against the magic of the magician.

As a result, the enemy army was once again thrown into chaos.

No one likes to face a group of enemies that are so untouchable. After this series of attacks, all the dead were comrades, and the ordinary soldiers didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.

"Hide, everyone hide!"

Callison remained calm in the face of danger and ordered his troops to temporarily disperse and take shelter in sturdy buildings.

This order was exactly what Vega wanted in his battle plan.

Because he didn't deploy many magicians in residential areas and relied more on archers, his magicians were almost all deployed in commanding heights and large buildings in the commercial area.

As the confused soldiers approached the large building they viewed as a desert oasis.

What they saw was——

The imperial soldiers, with grim smiles on their faces, were like cruel demons, opening their arms and waiting for them to fall into their trap.

These massive structures are no longer oases in the desert, but gateways to hell.

Boom boom boom!
The magic spread wildly, and Kerison's troops, who were well-rested, suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this scene, Callison finally collapsed.

He had no idea how to command this war. It seemed that every step he took was calculated by the enemy. No matter what choice he made, the enemy would always be able to respond before him.

At this moment, he finally understood why the kingdom regarded Vega as——

The devil of war that plays with people's hearts.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Callison regretted his ignorance and tried to use 3 men to deal with an enemy that even the kingdom's 40 troops could not defeat. Compared with the kingdom's powerful soldiers, what were his soldiers?
So when the dawn rose and the fire went out, the war ended.

Only on the commercial street.

Kailisen held up the white flag, knelt on the ground in humiliation, and was finally roughly detained by Yiluo.

About 10,000 defeated soldiers surrendered with him.

This battle was undoubtedly a great victory.

1.5 enemies were killed, 1 were captured, and the remaining 2.5 fled in all directions in the chaotic battlefield. Their whereabouts are now unknown, but with the issuance of the search order, it will be easy to dig them out one by one.
