Mage Veigar

Chapter 406: Crossing the West Bank
October 380th, 10nd year of the Galan calendar.

As the autumn wind bleaked and the temperature dropped sharply, Vega held his last meeting before the war.

In Vega's combat meeting, unlike the West Coast, a group of famous generals gathered together to make the best decision after brainstorming. Vega's meeting was a real one-man show.

There are no advisors here.

Because Vega only needs chess pieces that can carry out his orders, not so-called "talents" who can deny his ideas.

You can say that he is conceited, arrogant, and looks down on others, but he has indeed relied on his own ideas to get to where he is today, because his advanced combat thinking is not something that other officers can keep up with, and any interference from others will only hold him back.

So regular meetings were destined not to suit him.

Vega gave orders to the officers one by one: "Captain of the Second Regiment, please take your troops and 2 ships and head upstream immediately. After a short stop at Kanga Port for supplies, head straight for the west coast at around 100 a.m. on the 15th."

"Yes, General."

The 2nd captain left the table and led the fleet upstream.

Today is the 13th, and two days are enough for him to reach the upstream port of Kanga, and he can even take a short rest at the port.

Followed by.

维迦朝着1团长下达命令：“1团长，你同样领100艘船只即刻前往中游的塔利港口，我需要你和2团长一样，在15日凌晨3点后朝西岸进发。”

"Yes, General."

The captain was the second to leave, without even asking why Vega gave him the order.

Vega liked this kind of troops with high execution ability, so he ordered the other troops: "Everyone, please do your job and load the military supplies onto the merchant ship in advance. We have tentatively scheduled to launch the river crossing battle at 15:5 a.m. on the th."

"For victory!"

A group of officers stood up and saluted, ending the meeting which lasted less than half an hour.

Due to Vega's prestige in the army, his order was executed immediately, and the entire army was ready to cross the river during the day on October 10.

Vega is currently in White Stone Castle.

Baishi Port is located in the lower reaches of the Donbu River. It is not only far away from the "Donbu City" where the main force of the Great Prince's forces is stationed on the other side of the river, avoiding a confrontation with the main force of the enemy as soon as it crosses the river, but it also only takes 3 hours to cross the Donbu River from the lower reaches.

The fog usually starts to appear between 3:30 and 6:00 in the morning.

其中3:30为开始, 6:00为大雾最浓厚的时机，从6:00往后开始逐渐稀释。

Vega ordered the other two fleets to start crossing the river at 3:30. When they were exactly one-third of the way across, they would probably be discovered by the reconnaissance forces on the west bank, and the two navies would be notified to launch a blocking battle.

At the same time, his real main force officially began to cross the river at 5:00.

This time was exactly when the fog was the thickest and the least likely to be discovered. By 8 o'clock, when the fog had completely dissipated, Vega had safely reached the west coast, and the navy could no longer threaten his main force.

----

Of course, West Coast was not aware of Vega's plan.

On October 10th, Admiral Felix, who had sworn in front of the Grand Prince that he would teach Vega a lesson, was leisurely enjoying the bright sunshine and gazing at the Dunbu River. This was his favorite thing to do every day.

Compared to the deep and mysterious Dragon Sea behind the eastern part of the dynasty, he really likes... no, he deeply loves this inland Dunbu River. Because the Dunbu River is in full view.

Every inch of the river was exposed to the field of vision of his reconnaissance team. The great Donbu River, sparkling in the sun, was like a stripped virgin, available for him to do whatever he wanted.

He likes the feeling of being in control.

On the Donbu River, he had an illusion that he was the supreme king, and his love for the Donbu River was even greater than that for his parents and wife.

At the same time, he did not think that the famous Vega on the east coast would really dare to defile his Donbu River with a few broken ships.

That kind of behavior is just a political means to win over the hearts of the people.

Felix detests this kind of face-saving project used by politicians to deceive the people and win their hearts.

Therefore, even if someone told him in front of him that Vega would lead 20 troops to launch a river crossing battle tomorrow, Felix would probably not believe it, and might even slap the person who lied about the military intelligence.

But at 15:4 a.m. on the 00th, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

He opened the door angrily, but his adjutant told him that the enemy had started the river crossing campaign. Now two fleets had crossed the west bank of the river from Kanga Port and Tali Port respectively, and had traveled 1/5 of the distance.

Is today April Fool's Day?
Felix questioned the adjutant angrily and gave him a warning, "You'd better not lie to me." Then he closed the door, slowly put on his military uniform, and then calmly rushed to the meeting room.

"Everyone, please tell me what's going on now."

As soon as he entered the door, Felix sat in the main seat and began to ask about the current situation.

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Naval Aviation Department reported to Felix: "Just now, we received reports from patrol airships No. 2 and No. 7 that the enemy took advantage of the rising fog to cross the river from Kanga Port and Tali Port respectively."

"Can the news be confirmed?"

"Although it was foggy and we couldn't see the soldiers on the ship clearly, the patrol airships No. 2 and No. 7 once risked lowering their flight altitude to 70 meters in order to seek accurate intelligence. We were able to vaguely detect that the enemy had about 100 large merchant ships, so the intelligence must be correct."

"The ports of Kanga and Tali..."

Felix muttered to himself, "What a good plan! It turns out that they deliberately stationed at Baishi Port just to confuse us. The real purpose is probably to catch us by surprise. They divided the 20 troops originally stationed at Baishi Port into two groups and prepared to force a crossing from the middle and upper reaches while the fog was heavy."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Admiral Felix sneered: "The speed of naval ships is not comparable to a few merchant ships. Even if we can't use war airships to intercept them in foggy weather, you can't cross my Donbu River."

"I'm going to tell you who the real owner of this river is!"

"Pass the order."

Felix slammed the table and said, "Let the patrol airships bite the enemy's tail tightly and report the enemy's movements to us at any time. At the same time, order the 1st and 2nd fleets to rush to the middle and upper reaches respectively to carry out blocking operations against the enemy."

"Combat target, leave no one behind."

"This time..."

Admiral Felix's cold voice echoed in the silent conference room: "This time, I will let that little devil who dared to defile my Dunbu River experience what true cruelty is!"
