Mage Veigar

Chapter 565: Decision to Withdraw

go back.

Must go back.

When Aiden sent greetings to the whole world and specifically named the dynasty as the next target, Vega realized that he could no longer stay in the north of the empire. If he could not return in time, the empty rear would be left undefended.

of course.

Eden's ultimatum was only a secondary reason. After all, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. The United Kingdom is a superpower. If you want to use 300,000 troops to destroy an entire country of yours, even if they cannot defeat you, they will still bite off a piece of your flesh.

Especially the bloody actions of this army.

Under this premise, the soldiers of the United Kingdom will surely burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, because if they fight desperately there is still a glimmer of hope. If they do not fight desperately, the final result can only be death.

In view of this.

A month is about as long as the United Kingdom can definitely hold out.

It would take Vega about a month to capture the city of Lopus. This time difference was enough for Vega to stabilize the north and then return to defend the country. The wars on both sides did not conflict with each other in terms of time.

Then why did Vega leave the fat meat in his mouth and rush back to the country?

In addition to the uncertainty of whether Ropes City can be taken within the expected time, the real reason is -

The information that Silis belatedly received.

According to the intelligence obtained by Qilisi, the individual quality of this army is very strong. It is difficult to kill their soldiers with ordinary swords. The only ones who can cause harm to them are professionals and magicians.

It is worth noting that.

Although there are high-level military forces with similar professions in this army, there are no professions like magicians. Almost all of them need to rely on close combat to kill the enemy.

But the only thing that cannot be solved is——

There are five high-level fighters in the vanguard army who are comparable to those of saintly professionals.

Moreover, we dare not conclude that the enemy has only five professionals comparable to saints. The most troublesome thing about this army is not only their formidable strength, but also its mystery.

Being powerful is not scary.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, they are bound to have their weaknesses. The reason why senior officers are called senior officers is because they know how to seize the enemy's weaknesses and then pin the enemy to the ground so that they will never be able to turn over.

So compared to being powerful, what Vega really fears is the unknown.

The unknown means variables.

In a war, the more variables you control, the further you can go. This is what is called "more plans lead to victory" and "less plans lead to defeat." The current situation is that this army controls their basic intelligence, while the entire continent knows nothing about them.

Fortunately.

Celeste Rodney always brings him endless surprises at critical moments.

When the whole continent was speculating where this force came from and why it was so powerful, a mythological biography written by an anonymous person was delivered along with the basic information.

Well known.

The Holy Dynasty in the east and the Free Alliance in the west have always been the two ancient countries with the longest history. Their history can be traced back to before the civilization fault, so the Royal Library of the Holy Dynasty contains countless books.

The mythological biographies alone take up an entire floor.

This mythological biography called "Twilight of the Gods" is one of them.

This book talks about the war of ancient gods. If we read it today, most people would think it is a fairy tale. Putting aside other things, the book mentions that the gods can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split apart with a wave of their hands. So why would ordinary soldiers and magicians have to fight for them?
It turns out that most of the information in this book is indeed unreliable, and at best it is just an interesting mythological biography.

However, Vega couldn’t take his eyes off the page that Silis had bookmarked. The title of the page was—

Sub-dragon species.

It is mentioned in mythological biographies that sub-dragons are the descendants of the ancient giant dragons and are naturally endowed with the magical defenses of professionals. Although they cannot exert their own magic like professionals, they are difficult to be harmed by ordinary swords and knives.

The special sub-type of dragon that can use the magic power in its body is called a dragon master.

But in ancient times, even the strongest dragon master was only as strong as professionals of the same level. No matter whether they were magicians of the human and elves, or high-level ability users of sub-human races, they could all be beaten so badly that they couldn't raise their heads.

The book is full of contemptuous words.

From the choice of words, it can be seen that the author does not put them in the same class as humans, so the space devoted to recording them is less than two pages.

Then look down.

The book records that after the Ragnarok of the Gods.

The sub-dragon race's overlord country, the Dragon Kingdom, was exterminated, and they were expelled from the mainland as a defeated nation.

As for why they were expelled rather than exterminated, there is no mention in the book, but in the biography of the Dragon Kingdom that is introduced in great detail later, we can see that the Dragon Kingdom once ruled the Galan Continent for 100,000 years until the Dragon God fell and a new god rose.

At the same time you can see that.

The sub-dragon species look similar to humans, but the difference between them and humans can be distinguished with the naked eye. The difference is that each sub-dragon species has faint scales on the right face.

The more and more obvious the scales on the right face, the stronger the strength.

If the book's description of the sub-dragon species is correct, then they are likely to have come from the depths of the Dragon Sea.

Considering that Aiden was forced to lead his army to the Sea of ​​Dragons, can we boldly speculate that Aiden provided a return route for these lost dragon species?

If I'm not mistaken, these three hundred thousand...

Perhaps it is just a vanguard army testing the waters.

There is a high probability that the sub-dragon species wants to use this 300,000 troops to take a look at the current situation of the continent. If the continent is still full of saints like before and the star positions are worse than dogs, they would probably not dare to have the idea of ​​returning to the continent or seeking revenge even if they are beaten to death.

But if I knew that the countries on the mainland couldn't even produce a single star-level professional...

The answer is self-evident. The biggest possibility is that the entire country will invade, and it is even possible to imitate its own suzerain country and rule the continent again.

Therefore, Vega didn't want to waste time here.

The top priority now is to return to the country and set up defenses. Otherwise, even if we get more land and more resources, the saddest thing is that we will not be able to spend them even if we have the life to do so.

Behind the east coast of the dynasty is the Dragon Sea.

Now it is necessary to be prepared for danger.

If the sub-dragon race invaded the country, the first stop, apart from the eastern coast of the Holy Dynasty, would only be the eastern part of the Empire and the United Kingdom. Now the Kingdom's Dragon City, the best invasion location, has fallen, and the coastal area of ​​the Empire is less than one-eighth of that of the Holy Dynasty.

In other words.

The Holy Dynasty not only has to deal with an army of 300,000 sub-dragons that has left the kingdom helpless, but it is also likely to be surrounded by the sub-dragons from the direction of the Sea of ​​Dragons. The time left for the Holy Dynasty is running out.
