Chapter 535 Repeating the same old tricks?

October 381th, 5nd year of the Galan calendar.

Today is the day of attack agreed upon by the Allied Powers. First, the vanguard United Kingdom's 75 troops will launch an attack on the city of Kareni, striving to achieve the most direct and effective results.

What is direct and what is effective?
Being a vanguard certainly does not mean that you are responsible for leading a few people to circle around the outside of Kareni City and come back. As the vanguard of the Allied Powers, even if you cannot capture Kareni City in a short time, you must have an absolute upper hand in the initial battle and force Kareni’s army to ask the Empire for help to a certain extent, so as to achieve the strategic goal of attracting the Empire’s attention.

Once the imperial attention was drawn.

Then it would be possible to mobilize reserve forces to support Kareni. At this time, other main countries could officially launch an attack, putting the empire in a situation where it could not take care of both ends, thus maximizing the chances of winning the war.

Therefore, in previous wars.

The vanguard player plays an extremely important role. He needs to put enough pressure on his opponent. This is also the price he has to pay in order to get the most benefits. After all, he doesn't want to take risks, but wants to get the most benefits. There is no such cheap thing in the world.

of course.

In a war, it is possible that the vanguard army fails to achieve its strategic goals.

At this time, all countries will launch an attack on the target country at the same time ten days later to relieve the pressure on the vanguard army and help the vanguard army gain a certain advantage, so as to avoid the vanguard army being defeated first and losing its combat effectiveness due to delaying too long.

Besides.

If the Vanguard believes that it is no longer able to complete its mission, it can also request the Allied Powers to launch an attack on the Empire in advance, or seek help from the auxiliary countries in the war and ask their troops to support the battle.

These are three possibilities for how the Vanguard may appear in war.

Generally speaking, the former is more common. Most of the countries that get the vanguard are big countries. It is quite easy to take the first strategic point if they put all their efforts. The second situation certainly does happen, but it is relatively rare.

But a third party is almost impossible to happen.

All major powers have their own dignity and they choose the position they want. They will fight even if they have to kneel down. Generally, no country will voluntarily give up its dignity by asking other countries for help.

If such a thing really happened.

Then there is no doubt that he has been beaten to the point of doubting his life and losing his basic fighting ability.

It is still unknown whether the Kingdom will capture Kareni and dominate the world, or remain in a stalemate with the Empire and wait for their cover in battle, or be beaten by the Empire and flee in panic, having no choice but to ask for their support.

But the war is about to begin.

In another two hours, the mystery will be officially revealed.

October 5, 18pm.

The kingdom's shadow mage team and elemental mage brigade, as well as a large number of professionals have sneaked into the city of Kaleni. Their goal this time is very clear, which is to destroy the crystal hub control area.

of course.

They did not rely on brute force to attack the area, because after the last fall of the Crystal Hub's core control area, the security force had been strengthened tenfold. It would be difficult to complete the task of destroying the Crystal Hub relying solely on the less than 100 mages and 200 professionals who had sneaked in.

So the kingdom resorted to the same old trick again.

Before the war began, they spent a bargaining chip that most people would never refuse to bribe the director of the government system's Law Enforcement Bureau again, and planned to use the convenience of the position of the director of the Public Security Bureau to steal these crystal hubs like they did last time.

Abastan Kendi.

This was the person in charge of destroying the crystal hub this time in the Kingdom Army. He was approaching the crystal hub control area with nearly three hundred subordinates.

Just like we had contacted beforehand.

The security forces of the Crystal Hub have been completely transferred away. They can now easily destroy the Crystal Hub, providing the prerequisite for the Air Force's magical bombing. "Team Leader, why do I feel a little uneasy?"

A Word Spirit Mage beside Abastan seemed to have sensed the danger with his keen predictive ability: "It's a little too quiet around here."

"Don't worry."

But Yabastan directly rejected his words and said, "The enemy's Chief of the General Law Enforcement Bureau has been bribed by us. I personally contacted him about all this. Now his family is in the kingdom. He has no reason to betray us."

"I'm sorry, Team Leader. Maybe it's really my illusion."

The Word Spirit Mage had just let down his guard because of what Abastan said, but in the next second, his guard was suddenly raised again. He said in a tone that was almost as if he had seen a ghost: "Team Leader! Eight o'clock! Quick! There are magical fluctuations at the eight o'clock direction, they are chanting! The direction of the spell is 100% ours..."

"No! That's not right."

The face of the Word Spirit Mage had turned pale. "One o'clock, and there is another direction... No, it's not just one o'clock, there's also six o'clock... Wrong! Wrong, it's in all directions!"

Master Yanling has started to speak without thinking.

As if he had predicted the coming of death, at that moment all his strength seemed to be drained away and he collapsed to the ground.

"Defense! Earth Elemental Mage, defend quickly!"

Abastan's reaction was not slow either. He immediately asked the earth mage to set up defenses. Then he felt an overwhelming wave of magic attack, followed by screams from his teammates.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of the magic explosion lasted for ten minutes before it stopped. With only one breath left, Abastan barely stood up and looked around. All he saw was a sea of ​​fire, and all his teammates had fallen in the sea of ​​fire.

Da da da--

There was a sound of footsteps.

The ones who even made the flames go around for them were none other than the Empire's magician team, and walking in the front was the director of the General Law Enforcement Bureau, Mordin Wilder, whom he had bribed.

"Why... cough cough cough."

After spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, Abastan revealed an expression that showed that he wished to tear Chief Murdin apart alive and said, "Why did you betray us? Your family is in the United Kingdom. You should know what kind of treatment your family will suffer if you do this."

"I'm sorry, I've been an orphan since I was a child."

Murdin showed a ferocious smile and said, "Do you think you have really checked my information? Do you think you can meet me alone on the street by such a coincidence? I am not afraid to tell you that all this was arranged by us, hahaha!"

A crazy laugh.

Director Murdin continued, "We are afraid that you will repeat the same old trick. So instead of letting you bribe an official we don't know, we arranged for an official like me to deliberately let you contact us, so as to achieve the purpose of using your trick against you."

"Go on your journey with peace of mind."

"You lost this time because you underestimated us."

Director Murdin stabbed Abastan's chest with his sword in the face of his despair, and then said, "Inform Chief of Staff Chrisman that the rats have been cleared out and we can start the second phase of the plan to lure the enemy into a trap."

"Yes, Director."

When the messenger soldier disappeared from sight, it meant that the war was under the control of the empire.
