Mage Veigar

Chapter 427 The downstream has been determined!

Towards the Donbu River.

When Ferre Gary saw the flag flying over the Stone City, his heart sank.

Although I am unwilling to admit this fact in my heart, there is no doubt that the boulder has collapsed and the downstream area is in danger.

Whoever gets the boulder gets the downstream.

Without the Stone City, the "rock" that suppresses the downstream, even if you have an army of millions, they are nothing more than a group of rootless duckweed, which will collapse as time goes by.

As a native of the dynasty, Feilie certainly knew this.

Now there are two options before him. Either he takes the 5 troops temporarily mobilized and launches an attack immediately when the enemy has just occupied the city, or he turns back and returns to the city of Donbu.

With Felix's intelligence, he certainly understood...

Even if the enemy occupied the city for no more than a day and had not even set up basic defensive fortifications, they still had 25 soldiers defending the city. The probability of taking over the Stone City with just these troops was less than one percent.

What’s more, the enemy’s commander is that Vega.

None of the generals who were crowned as legends by various countries were fools.

Felix Gary knew very well that he was not a general but a politician. When it came to marching and fighting, he was not even as good as Theon, let alone Veigar Kareni who could kill Theon downstream. So the wisest thing to do now was to turn back to the city of Dunbu and hand over the downstream to Veigar.

But--

Ferry Gary still gave the order to attack: "All troops, listen up. I need you to take down the Stone City and open up a retreat route for the more than 20 comrades downstream. Please fight to the death."

scare!
With spears raised, 5 soldiers launched a siege on the stone city.

“It’s like a moth to a flame.”

Vega raised his right hand and said, "Send a signal to the aviation unit to cover the city defense. The other soldiers will defend the west gate and are not allowed to retreat a single step."

This is real conventional warfare.

It had been a long time since Vega had fought a life-and-death city defense battle with the enemy with real swords and guns. This battle was no pressure at all for Vega, as the huge number of soldiers in the city could drag the enemy to death.

And the opportunity is rare.

Vega treated this city defense battle as a real-combat exercise for the new recruits, aiming to eliminate some unqualified soldiers. Vega had no mercy on the new recruits who died under the enemy's swords and guns, because this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

The war was quite brutal.

Every minute and every second, a large number of soldiers died. The gathered magic power and mental power allowed Vega to clearly feel that most of them were ordinary soldiers and professionals.

As for the magician, there are no casualties for the time being.

After all, apart from the Shadow Mage, there are almost no magicians who will rush to the front line.

In fact, Vega had some difficulty understanding the enemy commander.

If he could have a face-to-face interview with the enemy commander, he would really like to ask him: "Why are you unwilling to take a step back in the face of such a losing battle?"

Ferreira certainly won't back down.

He looked at the impregnable stone city, his hands clenched until they turned white. "Aiden, you must hold on. I entered politics at the age of 15, and became a high-ranking official at the age of 30. It took me a lot of effort to find you, my only relative. Even if I have to use up my last soldier, I will rescue you. The worst that can happen is that I will destroy the West Coast."

Not for the dynasty.

Not for the king.

He is not motivated by glory or loyalty, he is just a politician who has gotten to where he is today by relying on his cleverness.

Although he holds the rank of general, when the interests of the country conflict with his own interests, he will definitely sell out the country without hesitation in order to safeguard his own interests.

For him, Aiden is his supreme "treasure".

40 years the same.

Ferry Gary was separated from his family when he was young. It was not until more than ten years ago that he finally found Aiden, his relative, and founded the Gary family. Even if this nephew was useless, he was still his nephew. Seeing that his only relative and family heir was about to die on the battlefield, he could no longer care about national affairs.

Even if there is no hope now and 5 lives are at stake, Ferre Gary will never take a step back.

He would use all the strength in his hands to open a retreat route for his nephew.

But when Vega's air force arrived, there were casualties in an instant.

"General, the soldiers can no longer hold on."

A division commander came over with a dusty face and said, "We don't have any air force at all. If things continue like this, it will no longer be a war, but a one-sided massacre."

"There must be a way!"

Ferrier was like a drowning man. He said, "Let the navy transfer 10 patrol war airships to cover the battle. No matter what, we must attack the Stone City today."

"General, please think twice."

The division commander's face was filled with panic. "If the Navy's 10 warships are destroyed here, we will lose our eyes monitoring the entire Donbu River. Even if the enemy secretly establishes a support line connecting the two banks, we will no longer be able to intercept them in time."

"Do as I say."

Ferrier's orders were unquestionable.

The division commander almost bit his teeth off and said, "General, please calm down. We have already been defeated. In order to preserve the strength of the dynasty, please do not let the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices. I must be responsible for the lives of the soldiers."

"Major General, obey orders!"

There was no expression of sadness or joy on Ferry Gary's face. At this moment, even if the king gave the order, he would never retreat. He would even rebel on the spot. No one would let him watch his only relative die and become alone again.

"General, I'm offended."

The division commander heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and then knocked Felix unconscious.

He said to his subordinates, "Release the retreat signal flares and order the entire army to withdraw to Dunbu City immediately. I cannot watch the remaining defenders of Dunbu City die here. Your Majesty's eternal empire must not be destroyed in the hands of Admiral Ferry."

boom--

A dazzling magic bullet emitted a light brighter than the sun. This force of 50,000 elite soldiers came in with great momentum, but after leaving behind only over 10,000 corpses, they boarded the fleet in a panic and returned to the city of Dunbu.

When the entire army retreated.

The division commander did not retreat with the army. Instead, he faced the challenge head-on and launched an attack on the Stone City. He was eventually killed by a flame explosion because he knew he could not escape the punishment of military law, so he chose to die on the battlefield.

He was sacrificed in exchange for 4 troops.

In the view of this commander, his death was worthy.

And Vega did not order a further pursuit, because the most important thing now was to stabilize the situation downstream, rather than to be greedy for quick success and advance recklessly. He did not want to lose the big picture while picking up sesame seeds.

Although he was interrupted by Fierli, he failed to kill Aiden.

But after this final battle, the downstream area has been taken into his possession. Now he has seized one-third of the territory of the West Coast forces, and this territory is the most fertile land on the West Coast.

With two huge granaries downstream, Vega is now qualified to mobilize an army of one million.

"The last two thirds are left."

Vega leaned on his sword and looked towards Dunbu. He had already seen the hope of unifying the dynasty and ruling over the vast territory.
