Mage Veigar

Chapter 440: Troops Dispatched to Zhongyou
Vega opened the first letter first.

This is a letter from Eskar, the commander of the Imperial Army and Vega's old boss.

Even without opening the letter, Vega could roughly guess the content of the letter.

As he had not yet publicly declared his treason, Eskar had not yet realized that he had betrayed the empire. Eskar probably attributed the reason for his ambush on the West Coast to the fact that the West Coast army had deceived Vega and secretly transferred the main force to the upstream area to set up an ambush.

Therefore, this letter must have asked Vega to attack the midstream immediately.

Even if we simply speculate on this kind of thing, we can roughly understand the details.

In order to confirm his guess, Vega read the opened letter carefully.

After just a quick glance at the entire article, Vega couldn't help but pull up a funny smile at the corner of his mouth.

This is also inevitable.

Because the content of the letter was just as he had imagined, it was so hilarious and almost comical.

The letter roughly said that the dynasty's main force on the west coast had been secretly transferred to the upstream area, and now the downstream area was extremely empty.

Therefore, this letter was sent specifically to ask Vega to launch an attack on the middle reaches immediately. They would attract the attention of the West Coast Army, delay the West Coast Army's pace of returning to defense, and allow Vega to capture the city of Donbu as quickly as possible.

This is the general content of the letter.

What needs to be known is that the sentence "immediately send troops to attack the big city" was mentioned three times in a limited space, which fully shows the writer's inner urgency.

Putting down the first letter, Vega opened the second one.

This letter was a handwritten letter from the eldest prince Kaia Saint Laurent, which really surprised Vega.

Because Vega could guess that the Empire would think of him downstream when it was ambushed and the front line could not advance, but he didn't understand why Kaia Saint Laurent would send a letter to him.

According to the unspoken rules of the game.

When Kaia caused the Imperial Army to suffer a great loss in the upper reaches, Vega took the opportunity to launch a war in the middle reaches and completely destroyed the West Coast regime. He needed this great achievement to shut up the people and pave the way for him to marry Shia openly in the future, become a prince legitimately, and control the military and political power of the dynasty.

When the covenant was signed.

This rule has actually been laid out clearly, and Kaeya has accepted this result, which is why he has fallen into such a crazy situation. Therefore, Vega doesn't understand why Kaeya still wants to send letters.

Is it to let him attack later?

Vega would never agree to such a thing. After all, human hearts are unpredictable and no one knows whether the other party will go back on their word. If the best opportunity is missed, the next time it may take several times the loss to completely take over the middle stream.

But the content of the letter said the opposite.

This letter was to tell Vega that they had achieved great results in the ambush, annihilating about 20 enemy soldiers, and had now chased the Imperial Army to the upper reaches, and were ready to fight the Imperial Army to the death in the form of self-destruction. Therefore, Vega was specifically reminded that they could march to the city of Dunbu and take over the entire middle reaches.

"As expected, you are a man of few words."

Vega's expression turned into a wry smile, and at the same time, he began to admire Kaia's ability to let go.

Knowing that he could not unify the dynasty and make it rise again by himself, he finally chose to help Vega and made his final effort to unify the dynasty. This kind of courage is not possessed by most people.

Most people…no!

To be precise, 99% of those in power cannot let go. Even if they know they are powerless to change the situation, they will definitely try their best to fight, and they will not let their enemies have an easy life.

"We can't let Kaia down."

Vega carefully put away the second letter because it gave detailed information about the ambush.

These details also directly let Vega know the accurate overall strength of the Imperial Army at this stage. It is crucial for Vega, who is in the downstream area and has a serious lack of intelligence. After all, after destroying the west coast, his next enemy is the Empire.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

With this letter, Vega at least had a basic impression of the overall strength of the Imperial Army.

After reading the two letters, I had a clear understanding of the war situation.

On the second day, Vega led a main force of 30 and coordinated with a fleet of 50 war airships to launch a direct war against the Moon Rest City, which was directly opposite the Holy City of Gangti. Vega wanted to drive straight into the city of Dunbu in the shortest time possible.

A frontal war is the most worry-free and labor-saving war.

All Vega had to do was to arrange a reasonable formation and then attack Moonrest City all at once.

Ninety-nine percent of the senior generals are capable of handling this kind of boring war, and in fact, Vega's command of these conventional wars is not even as good as those senior generals.

After all, they are professionally trained.

Vega was just a first-year student who graduated early without even finishing the military academy, and after graduation he did not follow Tiers's instructions to study the senior officers' textbooks on his own. This directly led to Vega's command of formation battles and conventional battles, which might not be as good as others.

The capture of Yuexi City was very quick.

Because there are only a few thousand West Coast troops stationed in this city, all the main forces have been transferred upstream. Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to resist Vega's 30 troops equipped with air forces.

Not just Yuexi City.

Most of the cities in the middle reaches were empty. Vega fought all the way and the enemy almost fled. No city could form an effective blocking force.

That's why.

A week later, Vega had arrived at the city of Dunbu with an army of 30. Now there were only more than reservists in the city, and even the high-level forces were not yet fully equipped. Without sufficient high-level forces, those high-level fortifications naturally could not be opened.

at this time.

It would only take Vega about two days to capture the city of Dunbu.

But Vega did not do so. After he drove his troops to the vicinity of the city of Donbu, he directly stopped the attack on the city.

He is waiting.

The West Coast Army, which was waiting to pursue the Empire relentlessly, would have a decisive battle with the Empire in order to weaken the overall strength of the Imperial Army for the second time. Therefore, if he captured the city of Dunbu at this time, it would very likely cause the West Coast Army to lose morale and collapse without a fight, thus failing to achieve the goal of weakening the Imperial Army once again.

The so-called making the best use of everything.

Although he is not an evil capitalist, he also understands that employees are meant to be exploited.

As an "ally", of course we have to put ourselves in Kaia's shoes and consider his situation.
