Mage Veigar

Chapter 448 Step by Step
1:00 AM sharp.

This was the best time for a night attack, and the gates of the city of Dunbu burst open at this time.

Da da da--

This is the echoing sound of military boots hitting the ground.

There are 5 vanguard troops, 10 on each of the left and right wings. Vega dispatched 25 soldiers to slowly march towards the Imperial Army’s camp. At the current marching speed, they will be able to launch a frontal war against the enemy in about 2 hours.

Two hours later it was 3:00 sharp.

For most people's biological clocks, three o'clock in the morning is the time to enter deep sleep, which means that the enemy has lost basic vigilance.

And now at this stage.

The imperial army from top to bottom did not believe that there were any enemies within the west coast of the dynasty, so the soldiers responsible for reconnaissance and patrolling would certainly not be loyal to their duties, and even if they stayed at their posts, they would only do their jobs perfunctorily.

Everything was just as Vega imagined.

When he led his troops to approach the camp with a radius of about 20 meters, the enemy camp still did not sound the alarm. Under the half-bright moonlight and the howling cold wind, this camp that stretched for dozens of miles and accommodated more than troops seemed very quiet.

It is a cold winter now.

In this season which is least suitable for marching and fighting, ordinary soldiers would hide in their beds early, and the soldiers on patrol would huddle in corners where the wind could not reach them with blankets. No one would care whether there would be an enemy attack.

"Report to the general, the gate guards have been cleared."

The captain of the Shadow Mage Squad reported the latest results to Vega. They entered the enemy camp in the dark and easily killed the guards who were sleeping without alarming anyone.

After all, Vega stayed here for five full days.

During these five days, he had already gotten a clear understanding of the patrol army's situation. He even visited the underground sentry Vega in person, so it was impossible for him to miss any details. The terrifying effect of knowing both yourself and your enemy was highlighted here.

"Let's act according to the plan."

Vega ordered his adjutant to order the entire army to proceed according to the pre-prepared plan.

This command can be roughly divided into three steps.

The first step is a head-on battle.

Vega ordered the vanguard to defeat the most powerful 3rd Division head-on, and then the two wings followed up and charged forward in a cone. This method made it impossible for the Imperial Army to organize an effective counterattack formation.

The second step is to remove the fuel from under the cauldron.

Vega sent a legion of about 3 people to attack the enemy's logistics warehouse, leaving the enemy no chance to turn the tables.

The third step is the decapitation tactic.

Since Vega knew the locations of the headquarters of each enemy unit in advance, he ordered high-level military forces to break into the enemy's rear and carry out a decapitation tactic against Eskar and other generals.

of course.

Vega knew very well that most high-ranking military officers were surrounded by powerful magician guards, some of whom were extremely powerful upper-level magicians. It would be extremely difficult to behead the enemies.

But it doesn't matter.

Vega's real purpose is to paralyze the enemy's command system, so that Eskar and other generals are busy dealing with assassinations by high-level forces, and have no time to organize troops and launch an effective counterattack against them.

Wait until the overall situation is determined.

Vega can then turn around and capture Eskar and others in one fell swoop, truly unifying the dynasty. After all, the number of soldiers and their combat effectiveness in a war are only secondary factors. What can really change the outcome of the war is the decision-making of senior military officers.

When the enemy's top leaders were wiped out.

Then an army without a brain will be useless no matter how strong their fighting power is.

Interlocking.

Based on what he had seen and heard in the past five days, Vega formulated a battle plan with a nearly 100% chance of success. Now every movable piece of the Imperial Army is being closely watched by Vega, and he is already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

----

It's quiet at night.

At 3 a.m., Eskar should have been asleep. But he couldn't fall asleep tonight.

Eskar himself was puzzled by this. He just felt a little restless. He didn't know whether to sit or stand. The anxiety in his heart almost drove him crazy.

Pick up the water glass.

Eskar wanted to take a sip of the half-cold tea, but his right hand shook and the cup of water fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor. Fortunately, because there was a carpet on the floor, the cup did not break.

Eskar bent down and prepared to pick up the glass of water.

But just as he bent down, a gust of air hit him and pushed him several meters away.

boom!
The sound of explosions of magic echoed.

Eskar, who was knocked unconscious by the fall, looked up at the explosion point, and saw that at some point, the mages of the Dynasty Army were casting magic at him. If an earth mage had not put up defense in time, he would not have been simply pushed out by the air wave, but would have been smashed to pieces.

Except for elemental mages.

What also came into view was the attempt of the Shadow Mage and the Professional to break through the guard's defense and assassinate him personally.

"Damn, who are these people!"

Eskar was puzzled. There were obviously no enemies on the west coast, so why could someone organize such a force to assassinate him?

But at this time, Eskar did not take the enemy seriously.

He said directly to the adjutant beside him: "Go send a signal to request support. I want to capture this group of people alive and ask them which organization is so bold as to come to my army to commit crimes."

"Yes, Commander."

The adjutant had just agreed when a series of earth-shaking magical bombardments were heard outside the door.

dong dong dong dong-

Along with the sound of magic bombardment, there were also warning sounds of enemy attacks.

"Enemy attack? Enemy attack!"

Eskar said in disbelief: "How is it possible! How is it possible that there is an army launching a surprise attack on us? I want to know the details. Kill! Cut a bloody path for me."

"Boom boom boom!"

Everything did not go according to Eskar's script.

Since Vega ordered high-level forces to break through the enemy's rear, there were more than one or two high-level forces attacking the headquarters. The fierce magic smashed the earth magician's defense barrier to the point of collapse. Not to mention fighting their way out, being able to continue to hold on was a blessing in disguise.

"Commander, the enemy has too many high-level forces. Sorry, we can't do it..."

A Word Spirit Mage had just reported the situation when he saw a flame explosion break through the defensive barrier, hit him, and burned him to ashes.

Under intensive magic bombardment.

Even though each mage in the Mage Elite Guard was of a very high level, they began to fail, especially the earth magicians whose barriers had already had several holes. They were afraid that they would all shatter if they could only hold out for another five or six minutes.

"No! I will never die here!"

"I haven't been promoted to general yet. I haven't achieved my lifelong dream yet."

"I absolutely, absolutely will not die here!"

Eskar was totally unprepared for death.

At this time, his eyes were bloodshot and he stared straight ahead. Although all the evidence showed that he had no hope of survival, he was very sure that he would not die here.

If you insist on explaining it.

This is his unique sense of war, the sense of war of a quasi-five-star general!
Although intuition is illogical and cannot be explained by science, soldiers and officers walking on the brink of life and death do possess potential that ordinary people do not have or have not awakened.

At this critical moment.

An imperial army arrived to support and broke the encirclement of Eskar like a sharp sword.
