Mage Veigar

Chapter 589 Weaknesses

Nygard Forest.

This evergreen forest with towering fir trees is located more than 50 kilometers north of the City of Ice and Fire, on the border of the Holy Dynasty. It is also the only way from the City of Gashili to the Holy Dynasty.

This forest is called the Land of Depth and Desolation.

Fir trees over 30 meters high can be seen everywhere in the forest. Their dense treetops cover the entire forest, making it dark in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Especially in winter, the entire forest is like a dripping green prison, with branches intertwined at the bottom of the forest, mixed with rain, snow, cold and fog.

The forest covers an area of ​​more than 110 square kilometers.

For the Holy Dynasty, this forest is a natural barrier. The soldiers stationed in the City of Ice and Fire were required by Vega to be familiar with the terrain of the entire forest, because Vega believed that this forest was the best place for guerrilla warfare and ambush.

For the enemy, this forest is a maze.

Even if no one stops them, it will take the enemy quite a long time to get out.

Therefore, Vega planned to annihilate all the troops of the Holy Dragon Kingdom here and prevent the enemy from setting foot in the north of the empire.

"Is it really okay to have a decisive battle here?"

Ever since entering the forest, Okasos couldn't help but activate his magic defense twenty-four hours a day. Otherwise, the bone-chilling cold would be too much for this dying old man to bear.

"Your Excellency does not believe in my plan?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't think we have the upper hand."

Okasos looked around at the monotonous environment. "Although our soldiers are very familiar with this forest, we have to mention that the physical fitness of the enemy soldiers is not comparable to ours. It is still unknown who is better."

Every soldier in the Holy Dragon Kingdom has magical defense.

Once the magic defense is turned on, he can resist the cold and ignore all the unfavorable environment here. At that time, his army will be at a disadvantage, which is what Okasos is worried about.

But Vega said to Okasos: "If the enemy is willing to waste magic defense on resisting the cold, then I will not worry about anything else. I guess the enemy will never let the soldiers use magic to resist the cold."

Have to mention.

Veigar's sense of war is countless times more sensitive than Okasos's.

In the afternoon of the same day, 300,000 main forces of the Black Dragon Legion entered the Nigard Forest.

Although it is now afternoon and the winter sun is shining brightly, a chill suddenly hits you as you enter the forest. It is dark and cold here, which is particularly unfriendly to those who enter the forest for the first time.

The further inland you go, the lower the temperature.

When it was evening, the biting cold made some soldiers involuntarily use magical defense to resist the cold, and even the guards around Aiden Gary were no exception.

"Asshole! What are you doing?"

Aiden Gary's face turned blue from the cold, but he found that the guards seemed to have activated magic defense to resist the cold. He was immediately furious: "You actually use magic defense to resist the cold? If the enemy sets an ambush here, what will you use to fight the enemy?!"

"I'm sorry, Commander."

The guards immediately removed their magical defenses and used their bodies to resist the cold. "Send a message to the entire army."

Inspired by the guard's words, Aiden seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately gave an order: "If there is no war, all soldiers must not activate magic defense to resist the cold, and the commander will be responsible for supervising the whole process."

"Master Legion Commander, are you making a big fuss out of nothing?"

Without waiting for the soldier to answer, the deputy legion commander who happened to see this scene couldn't help but say: "The environment here is unbearable even for us, how could the enemy set up an ambush here? Now the soldiers are also using magic defense to resist the cold. If you order them not to activate magic defense, I'm afraid the already low morale will drop to freezing point."

Aiden ignored the deputy commander and insisted, "Soldier, convey my order."

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander."

When this order was passed down, there were indeed a lot of complaints.

Unfortunately, Aiden Gary didn't care. Although his mind was filled with fear, his instinct to command the battle was still there.

Even though it seemed impossible for Vega to ambush him here, he still ordered the entire army not to use magic defense to resist the cold just in case. This was because the innate magic defense of the sub-dragon soldiers was not infinite, but was based on the amount of magic in the body. When the magic in the body was exhausted, they would be the same as ordinary human soldiers.

This is why the dragons controlled the duration of the war to within six hours when attacking the United Kingdom. Once the six hours were up, if they failed to capture the city, they would immediately retreat and wait for the next wave of siege.

Since they were the attacking party, the United Kingdom defended the city.

Therefore, the sub-dragons who took the initiative in the war could attack when they wanted to and retreat when they wanted to. Even if the kingdom guessed that the magic defense of the sub-dragons was not infinite, it could not go out of the city to pursue them. Once they pursued, if the enemy soldiers could maintain magic defense for a long time, they might counterattack them, and then they would lose more than they gained.

With the Kingdom's previous experience, Vega had guessed some of the situations of the sub-dragon species.

This is also the reason why he did not refuse to defend the city.

Once the city is defended, the initiative is controlled by the sub-dragons. Then when the opponent's magic defense is almost exhausted, they can of course leave, and Vega dare not go out of the city to pursue without permission. Based on this, Vega thought of a way to defeat the enemy, that is, to set up the battlefield in this forest and control the initiative of the war in his own hands.

By that time, the dragon species will run out of magic power and want to retreat slowly?
We have to ask Vega whether he agrees to this matter.

In fact, in Vega's opinion, to put it bluntly, the army of the sub-dragon species has no power compared to others in terms of explosiveness. In a short period of combat, even if you call on one or two million troops, they will be defeated by the enemy. This is the advantage of the sub-dragon species army.

Where there are advantages, there must also be disadvantages.

Since the opponent is unmatched in explosive power, what if we drag him into a quagmire of tug-of-war?
No one has ever experimented with this.

The Kingdom's fighting style of defending the city did not qualify it to engage in a tug-of-war with them.

Therefore, based on the intelligence, Vega believes that this speculation has great potential.

Taking advantage of the terrain of the Nigard Forest, Vega was ready to engage in a tug-of-war with the Black Dragon Legion. He wanted to see how long the enemy's magical defense could hold out.

So on the second day.

With favorable terrain, Vega followed the original battle plan and engaged in a tug-of-war with the Black Dragon Legion using a combination of frontal and guerrilla warfare, preparing to verify his guess.
