Mage Veigar

Chapter 434 Internal Conflicts
In the Holy Dynasty, December 12th is already deep winter.

Generally speaking, winter is not a suitable season for war, but the empire seemed very anxious to end the war on the west coast of the dynasty, so regardless of whether it was winter or spring, it resolutely chose to start a war.

In a few days, Vega will launch his first attack.

Vega led his 30 main forces to the medium-sized city near the midstream area - the Holy City of Gangti.

Far across from the Holy City of Gangti is Yuexi City, which is under the jurisdiction of the West Coast. 30 main forces of the West Coast are also stationed there. These two medium-sized cities have always been regarded as the dividing line between the middle and lower reaches.

The Holy City of Gangti has convenient transportation, and there are two huge granaries behind it, so Vega no longer needs to worry about supplies.

in comparison.

Yuexi City is backed by the great city of Dunbu and also has the most sufficient supply and support lines.

And because the military strength of the two armies is basically the same, this battle is bound to be a battle of equal strength.

If we must find a difference, it is that the quality of Vega's army is obviously not as good as the main force of the West Coast Army, but the command ability of the generals can completely make up for this shortcoming. No one in the West Coast is Vega's opponent.

Eskar of the Imperial Army understood this.

He also absolutely believed that Vega could hold back the enemy's main force, allowing him to lead the Imperial Army to easily march straight into the city of Dunbu and completely end the war on the west coast, but a real war is not that simple.

He first issued orders to the commander of the reconnaissance regiment directly under the army group.

"Major, you take a mage reconnaissance battalion downstream."

Eskar pointed to the locations of Moon City and Gangti Holy City on the sand table and said, "I need you to confirm whether Brigadier General Vega has really started a war with the West Coast Army. I want to get the most accurate intelligence."

"Yes, Commander."

"Commendations."

Eskar looked at the others and said, "The war in Dragon City is about to resume. We don't have much time to delay here. The deadline given by the head of state is to completely destroy the West Coast regime before the arrival of early spring. Therefore, I need you to prepare for the war in the next few days. If nothing goes wrong, we will send troops to Zhongyou on the 20th."

"For victory!"

A group of officers saluted in unison, indicating that the final battle on the west coast was finally about to begin, and this battle would also determine who was the real master of this land.

The imperial army is ready to go.

All the officers seemed to be taking this war seriously.

But in fact, from the commander-in-chief Eskar to the low-level company commanders, no one thought that this war would be a failure.

Because their army exceeds 500,000 and they have Vega downstream to support them, they can easily win this war even if they command with their eyes closed. It is also entirely possible to destroy the West Coast regime before the arrival of early spring.

the other side.

He also held a meeting at Vega's combat command center.

Vega pointed at the sand table and said, "Everyone, after more than a month of recuperation, our army has basically recovered its combat effectiveness. Now the West Coast regime is about to collapse. It's time to make the final move. Therefore, we plan to launch a general offensive against the West Coast on the 15th."

As soon as he finished speaking, a division commander stood up.

He is Vega's old subordinate and the highest commander of the 1.5-man Empire Army besides Vega: "Commander, our army requests to be the vanguard in this battle. Please approve it, Commander."

"Commander, I also request to be sent into battle as a vanguard."

"The vanguard belongs to our Third Division!" "..."

A group of officers in the conference room were arguing fiercely. Vega's invincible record made them not even consider whether the war would be a failure. Under the premise that the war was 100% certain to be won, whoever was the vanguard would naturally get the most credit.

Generally speaking.

At this time, Vega will agree to the request of his main troops, because the vanguard is a sharp blade, and it must be the most elite troops to penetrate the enemy camp. Ordinary cannon fodder troops will be directly dispersed.

But this time, Vega rejected the request of the 1st Division Commander.

He pointed at the sand table and said to the 1st Division Commander, "You have a more important mission this time. That is, when we are facing the Kingdom Army head-on, you will bypass the Moon Rest Mountains and take the opportunity to attack their north gate from the rear."

"General, I don't understand."

The 1st Division Commander said puzzledly: "It is completely impossible for our 1.5 troops to pass through the Yuexi Mountains openly. After all, the enemy's aerial reconnaissance forces are not vegetarians."

"Of course I took that into consideration."

Veigar chuckled. “I will order the air brigade to cover you. As long as you move quickly enough, you can sneak into the Moon Breath Mountains before the enemy reconnaissance forces find you. The specific details will be discussed between the two of you.”

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Yes, Commander."

The commander of the 1st Division and the commander of the Aviation Brigade stood up at the same time and saluted Vega, but the commander of the 1st Division had obvious arrogance on his face, while the commander of the Aviation Brigade and other officers had slight dissatisfaction on their faces.

Where there are people, there is struggle.

The army that Vega belongs to is also not harmonious. There are actually irreconcilable contradictions between the imperial army and the dynasty soldiers.

As Vega's direct subordinate, the Imperial Army has always considered itself superior and usually does not take the Dynasty soldiers seriously. In addition, Vega himself is also an Imperial officer, so many Dynasty officers and soldiers dare not really argue with the Imperial soldiers even if they suffer losses, but dissatisfaction in their hearts is inevitable.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

The officers of the Dynasty still understood that the overall situation was the most important. They had to fight this war well for Vega, for Shia, and for the Dynasty. So the commander of the Aviation Brigade found the commander of the 1st Division and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. Do you think we should discuss the specific combat plan?"

"What is there to discuss?"

Unlike the Dynasty Army, the Imperial Army is not fighting for Shia or the Dynasty, they are only fighting for Vega, so they do not have this sense of responsibility. Coupled with their inherent pride, they will not accommodate the Dynasty Army. “Is there any point in discussing this? My division is the decisive force in this war, you just need to act according to the plan made by my division staff.”

1After the commander finished speaking.

He snorted at the Aviation Brigade Commander, then walked away with his head held high, not giving the Aviation Brigade Commander a chance to speak.

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

The Aviation Brigade Commander wanted to argue quickly, but was stopped by several other officers: "Calm down, calm down. After all, he is the commander's direct descendant. It's okay if you don't give him face, but you can't not give the commander face. Listen to me, just put up with this matter."

"Ugh!"

The Air Brigade Commander loosened his clenched fists and said, "It would be great if the Commander could defect from the Empire. I think the whole country would welcome the Commander with open arms."

“I hope there will be such a day.”

Everyone sighed in unison, and then began to prepare for battle.
