Mage Veigar

Chapter 414: Drive straight in
The city of Nora.

This is where Veigar's granary is located.

Generally speaking, as a granary city, it must be strictly guarded to prevent even a fly from flying in.

But what can be seen now is that the lazy guards are squatting on the wall and dozing off, and the guards on patrol have moved a wooden box from somewhere and are gathering in the corner to gamble.

The only ones who were still loyal to their jobs were the scouts.

They are acting as "human cameras" on the city's must-go routes, but if you follow them for a long time, you will find that they have not moved for several hours.

"What a third-rate army."

After receiving this series of news, Theon shook his head.

Now in his opinion, although Vega is famous, it is almost impossible to win the war with such a group of dragging recruits.

It is said that quality is more important than quantity.

What senior generals fear most is not how powerful the enemy is. What really leads to their failure is often incompetent subordinates who make mistakes in details. Now Vega's army clearly fits the image of a "pig" teammate.

"Commander, the enemy's eyes have been cleared."

A shadow mage suddenly appeared in front of Theon, and reported to Theon that all the scouts had been killed and the main force could launch an attack on the city of Nora.

"Send a signal to the war airship to conduct a magical bombing."

Theon followed the conventional combat method. He first ordered the war airship to plow the land. After a round of bombing was over, the wealthy businessmen in the city who had received his reply early would take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates, and they would be able to take over the city of Nora without any effort.

This is a war with absolutely no difficulty.

Even without the help of those wealthy businessmen, Theon believed that the 100,000 men he brought could easily defeat Veggar's mob. For this raid, Theon brought a full 100,000 elite soldiers.

Boom boom boom——

As the advance force, the war airship was very fast. Under Theon's command, it had already carried out carpet bombing on the city walls and target areas of Nora City. Flames could be seen rising into the sky from afar.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's almost time."

The lieutenant, who was always keeping an eye on the time, reminded Theon that he could order an attack.

In order to avoid accidentally harming friendly forces, the war airships will only carry out bombing for about an hour before the army enters the city. After an hour, they will retreat directly, and the rest of the task will be the responsibility of the army.

"Ahem, go... attack."

Theon suddenly felt a chill on his back, so he paused.

Although he felt uneasy for no reason, he did not pay too much attention to it. He just thought that the temperature difference between night and day was too big, and coupled with the long-distance march, his already poor health could not support it.

Da da da--

The entire army advanced steadily in orderly steps.

One hundred thousand is a scary number.

Although Nora City is very close to Gray Crow City where Vega's main force is located, and it only takes half a day to travel there and back, but under the fierce attack of his army, it is simply not enough to withstand the arrival of Vega's main force.

Theon knew this.

Only then did he unscrupulously lead his army to attack Nora, without fear of being delayed outside the city gate of Nora, and finally being cut off from the flank by Vega's main force that arrived after receiving the distress signal.

"Sir, the city gates have been opened."

The adjutant immediately reported to Theon after receiving the news: "It was those merchants who sent us the letter! They took advantage of the sudden attack by our war airship to kill the soldiers guarding the city and open the city gate."

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

Theon laughed heartily and said three good words in a row: "The righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few. That kid was in a great mistake and should not have interfered with the interests of civilians and businessmen at a critical moment." He never dared to look down on civilians.

Although those civilians seem harmless, cowardly, and insignificant, that is only when you have not infringed on their interests. Once you infringe on their interests, they will remember it and stab you in the heart at the critical moment.

"Attack! To win!"

Although Theon was old, his powerful voice echoed, officially kicking off the war.

Boom boom boom——

The magic is roaring and the flags are waving.

The army marched straight in and entered the city in less than 20 minutes without encountering any obstruction.

This is also a matter of course.

Theon, who followed everyone into the city, looked around and was not worried because he could not see the enemy. Because of the sudden attack by the magic airship, the defenders here were probably lost and had no way to reorganize their forces to fight back.

Although Theon didn't know how many troops Veigar had placed in Nora.

But even if we had to guess, we knew the number would not exceed 20,000.

These 10 rabble were purely new recruits. When they encountered a large-scale air raid and were rushed into the city gate by his -strong army, even the most prestigious officers could not regroup them.

The biggest possibility now is.

These chaotic soldiers have fled in all directions, taking off the military uniforms that they once regarded as glorious, and then hiding in the dark corners of the city, shivering, waiting for the end of the war.

This is what is called a recruit.

They are even more useless than cannon fodder. They may exert 100% of their strength when they have a huge advantage, but once they are suppressed or fall into a desperate situation, they will collapse without a fight.

The strong die of desire.

The weak die of despair.

They are real weaklings, weaklings who are doomed to fail once they despair.

Even an officer with outstanding command ability would not dare to command such a weakling. At least Theon would rather command a group of cannon fodder than take a group of recruits to a crucial war.

I thought I had completely seen through this army.

After rushing into the city, Theon ordered the large army to rush towards the underground warehouse that had been explored in advance.

That underground warehouse holds all of Vaigar's supplies.

As long as he destroyed that place, he could defeat Vega without losing a single soldier. When Vega was defeated, the people of the Nine Cities would tear him to pieces themselves, and he could even use this opportunity to open the granaries to release grain and win the hearts of the people.

It’s getting closer. It’s very close.

With 10 people advancing, nothing along the way could stop him.

Now, in the flickering light of the fire, he could see the entrance to the underground warehouse with his naked eyes.

Go up to the army and plan.

Theon had already settled into a state of complacency ahead of time.

In this battle, he lost less than a hundred soldiers, but the goal he achieved was to send the entire 20-strong army led by Vega to hell.

A record of this level is definitely worthy of the title of legend, right?
