Mage Veigar

Chapter 544 Clear the fog
There is only one answer.

Under attack from both sides, the defense line collapsed completely, with no way to go up to the sky and no door to enter the earth.

Vega finally realized the trick.

Of course, this does not mean that the Kingdom will betray the alliance and really unite with the Empire again to attack Vega in the central hinterland from both sides and strangle Vega in the cradle.

As previously analyzed by Lieutenant General.

The biggest reason why the dynasty has been sparing no effort to help its enemy, the United Kingdom, is that it understands the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold". Because once the kingdom is destroyed by the empire, the empire can send troops to the dynasty without scruples without worrying about the United Kingdom jumping out to cause trouble during this gap.

The same reason.

Once the Holy Dynasty is destroyed, the Empire's next target will inevitably be the Kingdom.

Without the Holy Dynasty as a deterrent, the country alone would not be able to stop the invading Empire.

Therefore, no matter what, the Kingdom would never betray the Allied Powers.

But now try to analyze it.

If he were to suddenly fail in the war in Kareni, and the Imperial Army that had taken back Kareni attacked him from both sides, wouldn't he be unable to escape?
This is true.

The reason why Vega dared to use the strategy of secondary cities to surround strategic cities unscrupulously was based on the fact that Kareni was completely occupied by the Kingdom Army. If the Empire believed from the beginning that they would win the Battle of Kareni, then it would be completely understandable that Foster watched the central hinterland fall and did nothing.

Foster is waiting for the turning point to appear.

Although a layer of fog has been cleared, Vega is not sure that his guess is correct. If he guesses right, everything will be fine, but if he guesses wrong, then there will be no recovery.

This is war!
In a war involving lives, Vega hopes to take into account everything that can be calculated.

Just as scientific research will first establish a hypothesis and then find relevant evidence or conduct experiments to prove the correctness of the hypothesis, now that the inference about the turning point of the empire in this war has been made, the next thing to do is to find evidence to prove the correctness of this inference.

"Captain Atto."

Vega looked at Atto, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment directly under the military, who was in charge of war intelligence. His rank was brigadier general. Although he was the commander of a regiment, he was a full-fledged division-level officer. “I need to know who are the high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army who are still resisting in Kareni.”

"Report to His Highness."

The dwarf, who looked rather wretched and was about the same height as Vega, stood up.

He didn't even flip through the materials prepared for this meeting on the table, and spoke immediately: "According to our group's investigation, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Kareni Front is General Clemens Oliver, and the commanders of the subordinate corps are General Lucas, General Olcott Owen, General Raglan... a total of 23 generals, and the staff is composed of Colonel Gunther Burton, Colonel Clare... a total of nine senior officers."

"That's it, that's it."

When hearing these familiar names, Vega had basically confirmed his guess.

Whether it was Clemens, Olcott Owen, Raglan, or Lucas, they were all senior officers in the former Third Army of the Empire. These officers all had one thing in common -

Experienced the battle for Kareini.

They were witnesses to the miracles that Vega created, and they were also officers who directly participated in this war.

Foster left all the senior officers of the Third Group in the city of Kareni. At the same time, he took advantage of the Kingdom's belief that they would win the battle and Vega's belief that they would not pay too much attention to Kareni, and completely eliminated the presence of this hidden chess piece.

Maybe this is what is called the darkest place under the lamp.

No matter how much you plan, you will never expect that the danger is not in front of you, but behind you where you think you are absolutely safe. "Foster's move is terrifying."

Veigar now felt a chill all over his body.

This was all thanks to his fear of death and suspicious character. If he had been replaced by a slightly more confident general, he would probably have been defeated directly by Foster in this battle, allowing him to complete another stunning reversal.

It's entirely conceivable.

If the kingdom loses the Kareni War and his army is completely wiped out in the central hinterland, then the north of the empire will be as stable as a rock, and the allied states will exist in name only. This war can be declared a failure in advance.

Until this moment.

Vega finally understood that being an officer with the imperial surname was definitely not as simple as it seemed. If you are a little careless with them, you may fall into an abyss.

Yes.

Although these officers had not experienced the intrigues and deceptions of the past five thousand years, nor knew anything about the Thirty-Six Stratagems and the Art of War, they were precisely the creators of history, the inventors of tactics, and the true pioneers in the world's war history.

"Captain Atto."

Vega directly ordered Atuo: "Now I need you to turn your attention and focus your work on the war between the Kareni Empire and the Kingdom. I need to have first-hand information on the changes in the war situation."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Vega waved his hand, indicating that the meeting was over.

When he walked out of the conference room, the sky was already full of twinkling stars. This meeting lasted from the afternoon to the evening.

"Want to create a miracle battle?"

Vega muttered to himself, “What a pity, I have to face Vega in this battle.”

Just as the words mean.

If a different commander had been in command in this battle, Foster might have been able to accomplish this miraculous battle.

Of course, there is no factor of boasting about Vega's personal command ability and insight here. Vega never thinks that his command level is the best in the world. The reason why he dares to make such an assertion is that Vega is the predecessor of an imperial officer.

It was because he commanded the Kareni War that he knew all these faces so well.

No matter which general was in charge, it would be impossible for them to think that these people could defeat the Kingdom, and of course they would not be able to see through the true fighting power of this hidden chess piece that Foster had planted. Therefore, the reason why Vega was able to see through the secret this time was really because of the coincidence that he was once an imperial officer, not because of his so-called insight.

When the inference is confirmed.

So the next thing to do, of course, is to nip the threat in the bud.

While thinking, Vega looked in the direction of Kalini, with a look in his eyes that could dim even the stars.

"If Foster uses this hidden chess piece well, he might be able to kill two birds with one stone."

Vega's words disappeared in the wind. After figuring out the enemy's strategy, winning the war became as easy as drinking boiled water. He must and will become the biggest winner on the northern front.
