Mage Veigar

Chapter 489 Novice Village

Vega is here.

When this news spread, the soldiers who were defending the city changed their previous bad momentum, as if they were blessed with some kind of BUFF, burst out with incredible fighting power, and forcibly broke the enemy's fierce offensive.

This is also a matter of course.

For the subjects of the Holy Dynasty, Xia is their faith. No matter where Xia appears, as long as Xia is in need, someone will be willing to sacrifice their life for her at her command.

Although Vega's influence in the dynasty cannot be compared with Xia for the time being.

But it’s different in the military.

Vega has proven himself with victory after victory. Now, the entire army, from top to bottom, has regarded Vega as an invincible god of war. In the military field, Vega's influence has not only reached the level of Shia, but his voice has even surpassed Shia.

So for the soldiers of the City of Ice and Fire.

Veigar is their hope. They have held on until today just to wait for Veigar to lead them to victory.

Now Veigar has arrived.

They finally no longer have to face the enemy's attacks in fear all day long. Now the clarion call for counterattack has been sounded, and the boy who is called the devil by the kingdom will lead them to win the war.

The 18-Nation Alliance felt the pressure at the first moment.

In an instant, they clearly realized that the momentum of the dynasty defenders today was a little different. They looked shaky a few minutes ago, but the next minute they were like chicken blood, as if they were ready to eat them alive.

What happened?
The kings who were watching the battle did not understand the secret. After all, they were not professional military commanders. As for expecting the generals brought by each grand duke to give them advice, it was impossible.

Because the systems of vassal states and empires are different.

Their ideas seem to be stuck in the last century. The selection of military talents is generally based on nepotism and bloodline, which is no different from the dynasty before Vega's reform.

The foundation of a small country is different from that of a dynasty.

The dynasty is vast and the aristocracy is as numerous as ants, so at least some talents can be selected.

Small countries have a small land area and a small population, and the number of nobles is quite small. In addition, nepotism is the norm, which directly leads to very few generals who can actually lead the army into battle... no, it should be said that there are almost no generals who can actually lead the army into battle.

Even if there are one or two who have received systematic military education.

However, if they encounter a stubborn and self-willed Grand Duke, their opinions will not be adopted either.

Moreover, whether it is an empire or a kingdom, military academies are basically not open to subjects of vassal states, unless special means are used to learn the most advanced combat methods.

As for the deployment of troops and conspiracies?
You can't expect a pleasure-seeking king to waste his brain cells thinking about how to defeat the enemy. For them, who completely regard war as entertainment, the only way to fight is head-on.

They like this kind of head-on war.

The level of violence in the arena could no longer satisfy their pleasure. If any officer suggested that they temporarily retreat at this time, these grand dukes would skin him alive.

So they did not retreat.

Even though the defenders of the Ice and Fire City were in high spirits and the coalition forces were clearly in decline, they still did not retreat, and some even increased the number of troops they deployed.

Of course, there are some understanding people here.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the King of the Principality of Baya, Grand Duke Reynolds Baya, once secretly studied at the Imperial Military Academy. Therefore, he understood at a glance that the sudden surge in momentum of the dynasty army must be due to Vega's arrival.

The entire dynasty.

Apart from Vega and Shia, no one could suddenly raise such morale in an army.

This is not difficult to guess for officers with real command ability. Only those outsiders who treat war as a joke will not understand and attribute the incident to chance. However, Grand Duke Reynolds Baya did not remind these people.

Because he knows that you can't tell a frog that hasn't jumped out of the well how big the world is, and that there are vast skies, towering mountains, rivers and seas out there. Even if you tell them, not only will they not take it seriously, they will also think you're a fool.

There is only one way to make these people wake up -

Pain and blood.

Nothing can make these grand dukes see the reality more clearly than a failure.

The real senior generals of the Jialan Continent would not take the war methods played by small countries seriously.

Reynolds did not think that Vega, a high-ranking general who played games at the top every day, was a guy who had gained his reputation in vain, nor would he unilaterally believe that Vega was a product of the dynasty's public opinion in a self-deceiving way. He could disbelieve other things, but he must believe the kingdom's war threat list.

Therefore, Grand Duke Reynolds Baya calmly pulled his main force to the back and issued an order to be ready to retreat at any time. Everything that happened next was just as Reynolds Baya had imagined, and Vega's counterattack began.

Youdao is one that works hard, then wanes, and three times it is exhausted.

If the opponent this time was the Empire or the Kingdom, their generals would definitely order a retreat immediately to avoid the moment when Vega was at his peak, and then fight another decisive battle after Vega's army had calmed down its morale.

But the coalition forces clearly did not.

When they saw the enemy actually open the city gate and rush out roaring, this instead aroused their bloodiness.

If you want to fight, I will fight. The 70 soldiers gave them enough courage to fight Vega head-on.

At this time, the generals accompanying Grand Duke Qifei seemed to understand something.

As the only person who understood besides Reynolds, he suggested to his master, Grand Duke Qifei: "Your Majesty, judging from the situation, I'm afraid that Vega has arrived with reinforcements. They are in full force now, so why don't we retreat first..."

"Why retreat?"

Qi Fei looked at the general with disdain and said, "It's really a waste of time to send you to the kingdom to receive systematic military education. We have 70 troops, and the enemy's number is obviously twice as small. Even a three-year-old child knows that two fists are no match for four hands."

"But Your Majesty, in a war, morale is always the key to turning the tide..."

"Stand back, let me teach you how to fight!"

Grand Duke Qifei waved his hand, and his troops rushed to the front as the vanguard.

Seeing Qi Fei's behavior, the other grand dukes were not willing to be outdone, and ordered their troops to rush towards Vega. The whole scene was in chaos, and there was no formation at all.

"Such an army dares to threaten to capture Saint Laurent?"

Vega on the tower showed a disdainful look, because in a general frontal battle, both sides would try to break up the enemy's formation, paralyze the enemy's command system, and make the enemy unable to take care of the front, rear and flanks, and then defeat them one by one under this premise.

In other words.

Whoever's formation is broken up first will have almost no chance of winning without any reinforcements.

And who is the enemy this time?
Not only did they fail to adopt a basic battle formation, but the enemy was already in disarray before the two armies even engaged.

The soldiers could not find their officers, and the officers' orders could not be conveyed.

This army is like a group of brainless barbarians, who only know how to rush forward.

This made Veigar, who had played all kinds of conspiracies and was used to intrigues, suspect that he might have returned to the Novice Village.
