Mage Veigar

Chapter 566 Containment
Ropes City, General Headquarters.

Although Foster did not have Veigar's mythological biography and had only a vague understanding of the dragon species, this did not prevent him from knowing that the Holy Dynasty had been pushed to the forefront.

Name and address.

Now that unknown force is determined to destroy the Holy Dynasty and tell Vega that he should either kneel down and beg for mercy, or rush into Saint Laurent City and repeat the scene in the kingdom's capital, Bauhinia City.

Destroy the country and massacre the city.

This was not just talk. The other party had already used the precedent of Bauhinia City to warn Vega.

How long can the kingdom last?

At most it will last no more than a month or two.

Therefore, even if you use your toes to think about it, you will know that there is no crisis in Ropus City now. Instead, the dynasty army led by Vega is in great crisis. Vega is probably planning to retreat at this time.

Foster has a favorable impression of this new force.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

When this new force appeared, it first forced the kingdom to withdraw from the allied countries, turning the Four Kingdoms' Campaign against the Emperor into a Three Kingdoms Alliance. Now it is calling on the Holy Dynasty, directly resolving the crisis in the north of the empire and winning very precious time for the empire.

If it weren't for the fact that this force had done something that caused public outrage on the continent, Foster would really like to form an alliance with this force to fight against these ungrateful allied countries.

The empire has no fear of this force itself.

Although the intelligence showed that these 300,000 troops were invulnerable, when it came to the number of high-level military forces, the entire continental empire dared to claim first place, and no one dared to claim second place. The empire believed that it could kill these 300,000 troops with its high-level military forces...

Oh no.

Since the fight with the United Kingdom, the number of this army has dropped from 300,000 to 270,000, and then to 250,000. This proves that they are not invincible. The only difficult ones are the five holy professionals.

If even a star-level mage can be held back, what’s the problem with a saint-level mage?
Foster did not focus on that army, but instead focused on the army in the Ropes Canyon.

Adding insult to injury.

This is Foster's favorite thing to do.

Since Veigar has no intention of fighting now and only wants to return to defense, is it possible to trick Veigar?
The answer is yes.

When the enemy is determined to retreat, no matter how intact their retreat formation is, they will inevitably find it difficult to conceal the weaknesses behind them.

The information known now is.

After gaining air superiority, Vega has ordered the troops in the central hinterland to rebuild the transportation lines for retreat day and night. Under the premise that there is no harassment, the reconstruction speed is very fast, and a retreat route can be opened up in about 10 days.

In the process of construction.

Vega's three air corps provided the entire retreat, which showed how much importance Vega attached to this retreat route. After all, they could no longer use air transport as a means of returning to the central hinterland.

If the line is destroyed again, will Vega have a mental breakdown?
The answer is still yes.

To be destroyed in an instant when one’s mission seems almost accomplished would be a fatal blow to anyone.

If you are careful, you will find that in real life, the more panicked you are, the more mistakes you will make. The same is true in a war. The angrier and more anxious you are, the closer you will be to failure.

It can be seen from Vega's retreat that he is already a little panicked.

If the retreat route that he had painstakingly built over ten days were destroyed, Vega would probably go berserk.

Killing the enemy and destroying his spirit is far more important than destroying his body.

So when Vega's retreat route was about to be completed, the Empire's Air Force left the tortoise shell of Ropes and carried out the mission ordered by Foster to destroy the retreat route.

"Your Highness, just as you expected, the enemy has arrived."

The air force commander reported to Vega that the Imperial Air Force had appeared in the distance. This was all within Vega's expectations. If you want to retreat, the enemy will certainly not watch you go. Of course.

Foster also knew that if he sent the army to stop Vega's retreat, he would be counterattacked, but if he sent the flexible air force, there would be no such concerns. If he couldn't defeat them and wanted to run, Vega would not be able to catch up.

"Let's follow the original plan and repel the enemy."

Vega issued an order to block the attack. In his opinion, Foster was just harassing him. It was unrealistic to use the air force to break through his defense line and destroy the retreat route, unless Foster was mentally prepared to sacrifice an air force.

Sacrifice an air force just to prevent the enemy from retreating?

This deal is a loss no matter how you look at it. If it were Vega, he would never do this.

But Vega underestimated Foster's courage and how much Foster valued him. There was a loud tremor, and several bridges that had just been successfully built were destroyed again. Under the desperate cover of other air corps, the Second Air Force completed its mission.

"You actually went to this extent?"

Vega gnashed his teeth and said, "Leave me this air force. I want to see who will suffer the loss."

Under Vega's orders, there was no way this suicide squad would survive.

The rest of the Empire's air forces seemed to realize that the Second Air Force was doomed, and they stopped providing cover and simply turned around and left.

This battle, which came quickly and ended even faster, ended just like that. The enemy lost an aviation corps, and Vega lost the retreat route that he had spent ten days painstakingly building.

If we really have to say who suffered the most, it was definitely Foster.

After all, training an air force is not something that can be done overnight. The number of high-level forces in the air force even made Veigar feel that his magician level was about to break through, and the number of skill points also broke through three digits again. After all, in ordinary wars, the death of professionals and magic can be ignored, but the air force is full of high-level forces.

Although it was Foster who suffered the loss.

However, Vega's retreat was delayed because of this. He was a little annoyed, but he adjusted himself immediately and ordered the other side to rebuild the retreat route.

What Vega didn't expect was...

Foster once again spent a lot of money and used the same trick to use the air force to destroy his retreat route.

Two air forces!

In order to delay him, they had to pay the price of two air forces. This was a huge loss compared to a business deal. Even Vega felt sorry for the empire.

Is the Empire already that rich?

What Vega didn't know was that the Empire wouldn't mind paying the price of ten air forces if it meant killing him.

You get what you pay for.

Foster paid a huge price and held up Vega for twenty days. The United Kingdom was now in danger, and it seemed that Vega had no time to return to Saint Laurent City to set up a defense line before the arrival of early winter.

if……

If Foster continued to delay his progress at all costs, perhaps when he returned to the dynasty, he would see a ruin.

It was only at this moment that Vega began to panic.

He regretted going to Ropes City by all means, but who could have expected a new force to suddenly emerge and crush the United Kingdom? If this kind of thing had been said before it happened, no one in the continent would have believed it.

This is a long time.

Foster smiled as he listened to the battle report.

Now the one who should panic is finally not him, but Vega. As long as Vega panics, the balance of victory will tip towards him.
