Mage Veigar

Chapter 491 Stable victory
The reason for the disastrous defeat was found.

That is, Vega used a formation, while they only knew how to use brute force to rush forward in a swarm.

But knowing the reason is useless, because the countries are not submissive to each other. Even Reynolds Baya, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, cannot order the army of each principality to act according to his orders.

As for the general who accompanied Grand Duke Qifei, there is no need to mention him.

His master was extremely stubborn and would never listen to his advice. Rather than speak out and get scolded, he might as well keep quiet. The only thing that made him feel distressed was that his troops suffered the heaviest losses because they were at the front.

Although these grand dukes did not understand war, and even less understood the reasons for their defeat, this did not prevent them from exposing their cowardly nature. When they saw that the situation was hopeless, they all looked towards Reynolds Baya.

"incredible!"

"I don't know what tricks that little devil used to defeat our 30-man army."

"Grand Duke Baya, quickly give the order to retreat."

"Yes, yes, let your air force cover us. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

"..."

Everyone clamored and regarded Reynolds Bayan as the savior, because he was the only one who had obtained the empire's special authorization and had two air corps of his own, and he led one of them into this war.

"Send the retreat signal."

Reynolds Bayaka seemed to have been prepared. He directly asked his subordinates to send out the retreat signal, and then said to the grand dukes: "Calm down, everyone, please don't panic. My air force will cover our retreat, and half an hour ago I ordered the soldiers to go to the camp to ask for reinforcements. If the enemy dares to continue to pursue, we will strike back."

"I admire you very much. Grand Duke Baya is so wise."

"The Principality of Baya is worthy of being the leader among all the nations. Its marches and battles are flawless."

"I never expected that Grand Duke Baya had requested reinforcements half an hour ago."

"Looks like we should retreat quickly. When the Dynasty Army comes after us, we will make them pay with blood."

The group of people who were originally terrified suddenly became calm after hearing Reynolds Baya's words. They even began to imagine that Vega's troops were chasing them, and then their 30 defeated troops and the 40 troops in the camp would join forces and turn defeat into victory in an instant.

"you……"

Reynolds Baya opened his mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing.

At this point, these grand dukes still naively believe that the dynasty army will chase after them?

When Reynolds Baya saw that these useless dukes were still blindly optimistic at this time, all his strength was drained out immediately. He turned around and left without looking back, obviously very angry.

You can figure it out even with your toes.

How could Vega, a senior general who had passed the Imperial Central Military Academy's general program with the best results and had long been competing with famous generals on the international stage, not see through his little moves?

And the reason why he played these tricks was not to trick Vega.

Reynolds Baya knew very well that using these little tricks to deceive the armies of other principalities was always effective, but it was not enough on the stage of international war, and no senior officer would fall for it.

More often than not.

This small action is taken as a hint.

For example, at this moment, Reynolds Baya was telling Vega in both explicit and implicit ways: "We have a trump card. Please give us some face and stop chasing us. If you do, we will turn hostile."

This is a special conversation between senior military officers.

Those who understood these conversations were considered to have made some achievements, while those who did not were probably dead. Vega certainly understood the hint.

In fact, as soon as he saw the war airship suddenly appear in the distant sky, he understood that the enemy was hinting to him that they were ready to retreat, and that they would go their separate ways today and have a decisive battle another day.

"interesting."

A hint of surprise flashed in Vega's eyes. "It seems that there are still one or two wise men in this coalition. It will take some effort to defeat this army within three months."

"Order the entire army to return to the city."

Vega ordered the entire army to retreat and defend. Even if no one from the coalition forces hinted at him today, he did not intend to pursue further. Vega's initial idea was to repel the enemy and then make other plans.

After all, he came from afar and was exhausted from the journey.

Not to mention the army's lack of physical strength, he has not yet learned about the situation of the coalition forces of various countries in detail.

When deploying troops, Vega always follows the basic principle that only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one win every battle. He believes that what one should do when arriving for the first time is not to be greedy and reckless, but to proceed step by step, collect war intelligence and then make other plans.

Although a head-on battle is not unwinnable.

However, Vega believes that a head-on battle is too time-consuming, and what he wants now is a quick victory. If the time drags on too long, it will be meaningless even if he wins the war.

So how to achieve a quick victory?

There is nothing faster than playing some tricks and using some means.

For example, fire attacks, water attacks, natural disasters, or man-made disasters can destroy an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions in a matter of minutes.

Although there seems to be no room for using fire and water attacks here, and it is estimated that there will be no natural disasters or man-made disasters in the short term, the 5,000 years of war history is enough for Vega to do whatever he wants in this novice village.

So on the second day.

Vega sent a large number of war spies to the enemy army, intending to first understand the basic situation of the countries.

The only thing we need to worry about is that if the enemy is tight-lipped, we may not be able to obtain useful intelligence in a short period of time, and it will take several wars to gradually understand the enemy's specific combat capabilities and rough war plans.

But it turns out.

Vega obviously overestimated the overall quality of the coalition forces.

Even Vega himself couldn't believe it. His war spy actually bribed a secretary of the Principality of Or with gold coins. Not only did he find out the general situation of the coalition forces, he even got the defense map of the entire camp.

This moment.

Vega suspected that the enemy had leaked the map to him on purpose, so that he would be surrounded by the enemy when he rushed to the enemy camp. This was a trick that not only he, but also the senior generals of the kingdom and the empire liked to play.

Believe it or not?
Veigar swallowed his saliva. If this picture was real, he could lead his troops directly into the enemy camp tomorrow, destroy their logistical supplies, and then retreat calmly. But if it was fake, the consequences would be disastrous...

"Calm down, calm down!"

Vega took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the greed in his heart.

He said to himself: "It is better not to treat the enemy as a fool. There is no need to take risks this time. Play it safe and win."

Put down the deployment map.

Vega started to look through other information again, and he never put it down until he picked up the information about Grand Duke Reynolds Baya.
