Mage Veigar

Chapter 460: War Reignites
Confused.

fear.

Or hiding in a corner and shivering?

That is indeed the behavior of a prey. The prey are afraid of death, and in the end, this fear kills them.

Vega was indeed panicking and afraid. He was afraid of Old Scimitar's strange methods, and he was also afraid of fighting with Old Scimitar a second time, because he knew that Old Scimitar would never give up.

he……

Even became a poor prey.

But wait a minute.

Is fear a mistake?

Fear is just sitting there and waiting to die?

Is fear a sign of death?
If you plan to apply this stupid law to Vega, he will probably disappoint you.

In Veigar's view, fear is not exclusive to losers, nor is fear an unforgivable mistake. Fear does not mean that you have to sit and wait for death, because the real strong one is to make your enemies more afraid than you are!
Veigar did not let this fear overwhelm him.

At this moment, he had already convened a high-level meeting of the entire army, and when everyone was completely unprepared, he issued an extremely unwise and even somewhat willful order -

Seize the City of Black Gold and swallow the entire army of the Empire.

In the eyes of everyone, this was indeed an extremely unwise move.

The war had just ended, and the West Coast was in ruins. It was also deep winter, and this was the time to vigorously develop the economy and train soldiers. Even if a war was to be launched, one should wait until the weather warmed up.

If a war is launched at this time, it will not only waste people's money and resources, slow down the development of the economy and military industry, but also cause complaints from soldiers and civilians. Moreover, as the defending party, the empire itself occupies the advantage of time and place, and the outcome is still unknown.

The end of this war.

Even if they succeed in taking the Black Gold City, they would probably only end up injuring 800 enemies and 2,000 of their own men, which is really not worth it.

Vega understood all of this.

However, Vega still issued this stubborn order, reigniting the war on the west coast.

The reasons behind this are already obvious -

In order to make the enemy more afraid than he is, he must become stronger.

There is only one best way to become stronger, and that is war.

Poorness leads to change, and change leads to continuity.

Vega is eager to start a war so that he can improve his strength to a higher level before the next battle with Old Scimitar. By then, he will make sure Old Scimitar knows what true fear is.

Once again, Vega's desire to improve his strength was rekindled.

Therefore, after a brief meeting, the entire army entered the stage of preparation.

Under Vega's strong opposition, no one dared to go against Vega's will. Even though it was deep winter, the most unsuitable time for war, the soldiers raised their spears that were strong enough to freeze their hands and headed upstream.

Two armies and one aviation brigade.

Vega sent 30 troops to the Black Gold City, the gateway to the west coast of the dynasty. Needless to say, this battle was difficult.

The City of Black Gold has the Empire's back, the city's fortifications are intact, and the Empire's army can attack or defend. Whether it is a war of attrition or a conventional war, it is difficult to forcibly take the City of Black Gold.

As for the tricks and schemes?

Commander-in-chief Eskar suffered a great loss at the hands of Vega, so he couldn't help but be extremely vigilant. At this time, as long as Eskar stayed indoors, there would be no problem in dragging out the war for half a year.

Eskar can afford to delay, but Vega can't.

He took advantage of the situation. If he failed to capture the Black Gold City in a short period of time, the severe weather would be enough to crush the morale of Vega's army. By then, the Empire would take the opportunity to attack, and he would even be at risk of defeat. But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

In order to improve his strength to deal with the assassination of the trial system, he must fight this war.

This war is not for dynasty, not for glory, not for dignity, but only for one's own safe survival.

Do you have to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers just to survive?

You can say he is selfish or cruel, Vega will never deny it, because it is all true.

But it should be noted that Vega admits that he is not a good person, but he does not think there is anything wrong with his behavior.

What is a good person? What is a bad person?

A good person is someone who is useful to you, and a bad person is someone who infringes upon your interests.

There is no one who is useful to everyone, so whether a person is good or bad, he or she may infringe on the interests of another person for the sake of one person's interests.

In terms of nature, Vega believes that there is no essential difference between the former and the latter.

If you need, he can also be a 'good guy' and give this war a plausible excuse -

For the king, for the dynasty, for the people, for territorial integrity, for glory, for dignity...!
Although it seems like a joke, this is the fact. Vega openly elevated this completely selfish war to the level of the country and the nation, so he represents justice.

Under the blessing of the halo of justice.

An army of three hundred thousand strong and powerful troops approached the City of Black Gold.

----

In the city of black gold, the red eagle flag is flying on the city wall!

Eskar stood in the cold wind, looking straight ahead, where the dynasty's white flag with a golden crown was.

Once upon a time, that flag was a symbol of weakness.

But ever since that man joined the dynasty's camp, the white flag with a golden crown has been reborn.

Now, no one in the empire or the kingdom dares to underestimate that flag. As long as that person is still alive in the territory of this dynasty, he has to treat this war seriously.

But this is an opportunity.

A chance to prove myself, a chance to have a fair fight with that guy.

Eskar was not convinced of the previous war because Vega deceived him and used despicable means to win the war.

After closed-door reflection.

He had already discovered that Vega's strategy last time was not very brilliant, and was even full of loopholes. He only took advantage of his trust to achieve such a great result in the end. If he had been a little more suspicious at the time, I am afraid the situation of the battle would have been rewritten.

So this time.

He wanted to defeat Vega fairly and honorably in this war.

He will also be extremely vigilant and fight a serious battle to defend the city, so that the little devil who dared to rashly start a war at this time and indirectly insult him will know his true strength.

This war was indeed an insult to him.

Any commander knows that now is not the time to start a war.

There are only two possibilities for starting a war at this time. One is that they have no choice but to fight, and the other is that they do not take him as the commander seriously at all and think that they can easily win by starting a war at any time.

Veigar is clearly the latter rather than the former.

So what do you do when your talents are insulted?
There is only one way.

Prove yourself by winning this war!
