Mage Veigar

Chapter 591 Fighting to the death
Okathos was entangled.

After sacrificing a reconnaissance airship, this information reached Vega's ears.

Vega did not expect that Aiden Gary could remain calm at this time and came up with a plan to use the Saint-level professionals to contain the Star-level mages. This move also directly imprisoned Vega's main war chess piece, the 'Rook', in the sky.

Now what can be predicted is.

As long as this war is not over, the nine holy professionals and the three-headed flying dragon will not let Okasos out of their sight.

The most difficult thing is that with Okasos's strength, he cannot cause any harm to the nine holy professionals.

Vega, who is truly capable of causing harm to the Saint Professionals, cannot leave the battlefield, because the battle situation is ever-changing and no one knows what will happen in the next second. As a commander, if he leaves the battlefield without permission, even if he wins a battle over there, he may lose the battle here.

And even if we assist Okasos, we may not necessarily win.

It is true that the Master Shadow Technique can control the shadows of Saints, and can even control the shadows of multiple professionals. However, for Vega's magician and professional level, forcibly controlling one Saint is still bearable. But if he controls nine Saints plus a three-headed dragon... this level of magic consumption is no longer something Vega can afford.

Think before and after.

Vega decided to give up supporting Okasos and use his own abilities to win the war.

At this moment, Vega believed that if it was just a clash of armies, he would still be able to defeat the invincible army that claimed to be invincible and destroyed millions of troops of the United Kingdom in three months.

Because while Aiden was limiting Okasos, he was also limiting himself.

There are two main reasons why the sub-dragon army is invincible. The first is that the strength of each individual soldier is too strong, and the second is that there is no one to restrict their holy professionals and flying dragons.

Let’s look at it from a different angle.

Now that Vega's "car" is restricted, is it possible that the enemy's "car" is not restricted as well?
The answer is obvious, the enemy's "car" is also restricted.

Under this premise, it is a contest between the armies, so let’s take a look at the strength of the main forces on both sides.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom has an army of 300,000 soldiers, and the dynasty’s main force has 500,000 soldiers.

In terms of quantity, Vega's army is far superior to the Black Dragon Legion, but in terms of quality, the Holy Dragon Kingdom's 300,000 troops can fight against the 2 million troops without losing the upper hand, and may even be better.

If we analyze from the perspective of strength, there is indeed no chance of winning.

However, war cannot be judged solely by the quantity and quality of the army. Other factors must also be considered. Now Vega has the advantage of terrain and knows both himself and the enemy. Under this premise, how can he not win?
This forest is his home!
"Soldier, report the battle situation."

Upon hearing Vega's order, the scout immediately reported the latest battle situation: "Your Highness, the enemy's offensive is very fierce. The First Division has been annihilated, but the enemy's casualties total less than half a regiment. The difference in strength is too great..."

Before the scouts could finish their report, several dishevelled figures approached.

Those people were covered in dust and dirt. They were the commander of the First Division and his guards. The commander's eyes were filled with tears of despair. "Your Highness, please order a retreat. They are monsters! Those sub-dragons are monsters! Except for magicians and professionals, our ordinary soldiers' weapons can't cause any harm to them. We can't win against an army like that."

"Calm down, Commodore."

"Your Highness!"

The division commander knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Please believe me, there is no way we can win this war. We simply cannot defeat those monsters. Any tactics will be useless in front of them. If we continue like this, our soldiers will only die in vain."

"stand up."

"I repeat, stand up!"

Veigar’s voice was powerful without being angry. “Master Commander, don’t forget. We no longer have the capital to retreat or be afraid! Now, please look behind you. Behind us stands the City of Ice and Fire.”

"Yes, it's the City of Ice and Fire."

Veigar's tone became sad: "In the City of Ice and Fire, there are our relatives, children, friends... and tens of thousands of subjects of our dynasty. Now I don't care who the enemy in front of us is, even if he is a god, today we will pull him down from the throne!" "Your Excellency, please believe me!"

The division commander picked up the cross sword again and stood up. He wiped the blood off his face, then looked at Vega with an extremely determined gaze and said, "Your Highness, I have not lost yet! I can still fight!"

"Order!"

Vega mounted his horse and said, "Incorporate the remnants of the Second and Third Divisions into the First Division. I want you to fight and retreat, using the blocking routes I have arranged in advance. Even if it means sacrificing the lives of all the soldiers, you must hold back the enemy's advance."

"I am willing to die for the dynasty!"

The division commander saluted Vega, turned around with a cross sword in hand and returned to the front line.

The previous fear was no longer in his eyes. Everything was just as Vega said. They had no capital to retreat. If they could hold on for one more minute, it meant that the civilians of the dynasty and their loved ones could live one more minute. So no matter whether the enemy in front of them was a demon or a god, they had to fight to the death.

“May the glory of Saint Laurent be with you.”

Vega watched the commander go away, muttering to himself: "Please believe me, your sacrifice will not be in vain. I, Vega, promise you with my life that we will win this battle!"

The newly formed blocking troops exceeded 70,000.

In the next few hours, the 70,000 soldiers under the command of the commander of the 1st Division did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy, but instead used familiar terrain to engage in a tug-of-war with the enemy.

The fight lasted for six hours.

Due to the huge disparity in strength, the difficulty of the tug-of-war also increased linearly, and in the end it completely evolved into a one-sided massacre. With almost no losses in the Black Dragon Legion, 70,000 soldiers, including the commander of the First Division -

completely annihilated.

War has always been cruel.

However, both soldiers and officers were mentally prepared to defend their homeland to the death, so even in the face of that level of massacre, no soldier took a step back.

"Your Highness."

A surviving brigade commander cried, "The entire New First Division was annihilated, including the division commander and deputy division commander. Now the enemy has begun to prepare to retreat. Please tell us, have we... have we finally won?"

"victory?"

Vega looked directly at the brigade commander. “Brigade commander, do you really think this is a victory? Beating the enemy is a victory? Are you willing to acknowledge such a victory?!”

"Your Highness, I do not admit it!"

The brigade commander was so excited that his whole body was shaking: "Although my subordinates have died in the battle, I am still alive and I can still fight!"

"very good!"

Vega pulled out a cross sword and handed it to the brigade commander. "Your deceased commander once said the same thing to me. With a look of fear in his eyes, he told me that he had not lost yet and that he could still fight! Now, please pick up his cross sword again and witness with your commander's eyes what true victory is."

"I am willing to die for the dynasty!"

"very good!"

Veigar looked straight ahead, and roared with all his might: “Everyone, are you afraid? I know you are afraid, but please remember this fear, because next, I will make our enemies more afraid than we are!”

"Order!"

Veigar waved his sword while riding on his warhorse: "Flanking troops, stop the enemy's retreat. You want to leave after killing 70,000 of my soldiers? Now, it's our turn to take over this war. We want! Revenge!"
