Mage Veigar

Chapter 426: Complications?

Boom boom boom——

Braving the overwhelming magic, Aiden finally escaped from the battlefield.

Although the casualties from the bombing by the war airships were less than 25, the 15-strong army was completely thrown into chaos. Now the number of people who have regrouped is less than , and another have been scattered.

"General, the troops have been organized."

A division commander wiped the blackened hair off his face and said, "This is the dense forest near Grey Crow City. The trees are so tall that ordinary war airships can no longer lock onto our tracks. Although the speed is a bit slow, we can retreat from here to the City of Stone. Does the commander have any other orders?"

"I listen to you. I listen to you in everything."

Aiden was still in shock. He heard someone giving him advice, and he nodded in agreement without even thinking about it. He was glad that this was not an ordinary meeting, otherwise if all the officers started arguing, he would not know who to listen to.

"Chris, it would be great if you were here at this time."

Aiden was still thinking about Vega. Even though Vega's plan seemed to have failed, he did not suspect that Vega was the one who interfered. He just thought that someone in the army secretly controlled the aviation force and betrayed him.

Rest is complete.

Following the advice of the division commander, Aiden led his troops and hurried on, finally arriving near the Stone City in the evening.

This relaxed his tense nerves a little.

The Stone City is his base camp, and Chris is also there. He can't wait to go home to take a hot bath, then complain to Chris, and finally ask him to re-formulate the battle plan.

But a buzzing sound scared him so much that he almost fell to the ground again.

It was a sound Aiden would never forget in his dreams—the war airship.

Boom boom boom——

The buzzing sound was followed by flame explosions, and the uncovered army once again suffered a brutal magical bombardment.

"Hurry, speed up, we will be safe once we enter the city."

Aiden didn't know where he got the courage from, he stood up and roared loudly, then took the lead and rushed towards the Stone City with his men. The Stone City was equipped with a crystal hub for air defense, which could defend against air attacks.

If someone takes the lead, someone will follow.

When Aiden took the lead and rushed towards the Stone City, at this moment everyone would of course follow the commander.

It’s getting closer. It’s very close.

Aiden could already see the towering gate of Stonehenge, the white flag with a golden crown fluttering on the tower, and the flag of his 21st Army...

and many more!

Where is the military flag?
Aiden stopped and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he still saw two unfamiliar military flags.

Picking up the telescope, Aiden looked up at the city wall.

What came into view was a child wearing a military uniform, less than 1.5 meters tall, smiling brightly at the people below.

If it were somewhere else, even he would sigh with an angel's smile...

But for some reason, that child wearing the imperial uniform under the stars, looking majestic without being angry, always gave him a familiar feeling. It was like...

"Chris!"

An almost unbelievable voice echoed.

Even from a hundred meters away, Vega could hear the despair in the voice. It was obvious that Aiden had noticed something. After all, Vega could use magic props to change his face, but he could not hide his height.

Veigar's height. Aiden's body type.

The fat man and the short man are as impossible to conceal as the morning star in the night sky.

Therefore, Aiden, who felt deeply betrayed, shouted hysterically toward the tower: "Chris, you traitor, I didn't expect you to be a running dog of the East Coast. I will kill you, sooner or later!"

Despite the chaos, Vega also noticed Aiden.

He saluted Aiden and said, "Lieutenant General Aiden, please forgive me for deceiving you. My name is not Chris, and I like this name too much. If it is possible, please call me Vega... Um, Vega Kalini."

“Vega, Vega Kalini?”

Aiden's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Vega with an almost trembling hand and said, "You, you, you are their commander-in-chief? The little brat from the east coast?"

After getting this answer, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Aiden never thought that for so many days, he had been trying to get the skin of a tiger and dancing with the wolf.

Discussing with a tiger how to skin him?

Dancing with joy with a hungry wolf?

Just thinking about it made Aiden shudder. He was so stupid as to discuss with the enemy's commander-in-chief how to win the war, and even asked the enemy's main general to help him with advice. Would anyone really believe such a joke if he told it to others?
He could really defeat such a person...

No, could he really escape from that guy who was scarier than the devil?
Escape, you must escape.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become a little smarter after hanging out with Vega for a long time, or if this cold reality has opened up my meridians.

At this moment, Aiden's brain circuits were clearer than ever before. He actually issued the first correct order in history: "Retreat! The entire army retreats. The main force of the enemy has entered the Stone City. The rear must be empty. We must counterattack the Grey Crow City immediately."

Braving the bombing of war airships, 100,000 people turned around and fled again.

Vega saw this and slowly raised his right hand.

Now the enemy has run back and forth twice and is exhausted. At this time, as long as he orders the entire army to launch an attack, he will surely win the battle and annihilate the enemy here.

But at this time.

A division commander came running over in a hurry: "General, urgent report. An unknown army of about 5 people appeared in the direction of the Donbu River and is heading towards us. Our army has just taken over the Stone City, and the city defense fortifications have not yet been arranged. General, please tell me if you will send troops to stop them."

"Where did the unknown army come from at this time?"

Vega gritted his teeth and looked with regret at the more than 100,000 soldiers who were fleeing in all directions. In the end, he did not give the order to pursue them because he had just captured the Stone City and did not yet have the ability to fight on two fronts.

"The entire army is turned around to carry out blocking operations."

"The priority is to repel the enemy, not to linger in the battle."

"Yes, General."

The troops stationed in the south, preparing to pursue the victory, were transferred to the west towards the Donbu River.

At this time, a colonel stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, General, should we order the Shadow Mage Squad to behead the enemy commander? The enemy is now scattered and fleeing, and we are confident that we can take down the enemy commander's head."

"No need."

Veigar smiled and left the city wall: "Some people are more useful alive than dead. I can only rest assured that the army is in Aiden's hands. If it is someone else, there is no telling what might happen."

"The general is wise."

The colonel saluted Vega as he walked away. Even though Vega's tiny figure disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun, he still maintained the saluting posture and was reluctant to put it down.
