Mage Veigar

Chapter 602 Join forces to meet the enemy
Vega rejected Eskar's request.

A general who has lost his spirit and confidence is everywhere in the dynasty. Why should he risk the retaliation of the empire to take in such a useless officer? He is not running a charity.

"Hahaha."

Eskar burst into laughter when he heard what Vega said, but he did not blame Vega. He just said calmly: "If possible, please tell me the reason. It is because I have lost my talent for war."

Eskar looked a little lonely.

He did not realize the reason for his continuous defeats, and attributed all his faults to the fact that he was old and no longer had the ability to command a war. Going home to farm was his final destination.

"What is the talent for war?"

Vega said firmly: "Excuse me, the so-called war talent is nothing more than the most solid foundation, the experience of commanding in hundreds of battles, plus a little luck and the courage and confidence to stand on the opposite side of the world alone!"

"Foundation, experience, luck, courage, self-confidence..."

Eskar smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that my luck is indeed a little bad. It is true that a small mistake can lead to a big mistake."

"Then I would like to congratulate you, Your Excellency."

Vega said sarcastically: "Compared to you, I am not just lacking courage. In terms of the basics of warfare, I am an officer who has not even completed three years of military school. In terms of command experience, I have only been in the army for five years. In terms of luck, I have only felt the cold malice of this world. All I have is the courage and confidence to move forward!"

"Just courage and confidence?"

Eskar frowned: "Are you being modest, Your Highness?"

"Humble? Hahaha."

Veigar laughed sarcastically: "I'm not a genius. I'm just an ordinary person who has been forced into a desperate situation."

"An ordinary person can win every battle, an ordinary person can make the world fear him, and an ordinary person can defeat the 300,000 black dragon army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?" Eskar's face was full of disbelief.

Veigar did not answer the question, but just looked at the snow in front of him.

He said with a very regretful tone: "Sir Eskar, you have finally become the person you hate the most."

"The look that I... hate?"

Vega’s words were like a sharp spear piercing his heart, and Eskar asked this question with a trembling voice.

"Have you ever heard such a saying?"

Veigar looked at Eskar and answered irrelevantly: "If you don't have extraordinary abilities, at least you should have the determination to die."

"Even if you don't have extraordinary abilities, you still have to be determined to die?"

Eskar repeated, feeling his throat go dry.

"That's right!"

Veigar said in a resounding voice: "In terms of basics, talent, experience, and luck, I am not as good as you, but why can I beat you? Because the only thing I am not inferior to is the courage to fight to the death and the confidence in myself."

"As a normal person, this is my only way out."

Veigar grinned: "The war creed I believe in is - win or die!"

I guess no one would believe it if I said this, but the best defense in the world is offense, and the best way to escape death is to fight to the death.

Eskar seemed to understand something. He took a deep breath and then asked, "Excuse me, sir, how did you defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom's 300,000 Black Dragon Legion with only 500,000 Dynasty troops? Although the details of the war are well known, I don't think it's that simple. Please enlighten me on the reasons."

Eyes burning.

Everyone believed that they could win the war by following Vega's war template against the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, Eskar, who had actually fought against the Holy Dragon Kingdom, was no longer so naive. The strategies he used were similar to those used by Vega, but all he got was a series of defeats. The soldiers could not stop the enemy's attack or retreat.

Why does the same strategy produce different results when different people use it?

"Are you asking this question knowing the answer?"

Vega smiled at Eskar in a friendly manner. Eskar's eyes told him that his words had helped the lost general gradually find himself again, and at the same time, he understood the same strategy, but the reason why he failed.

"It turns out that I have really become the person I hate the most."

Eskar sighed and said, "Fear made me lose myself. There were so many opportunities to turn defeat into victory in front of me, but I missed them because of my fear. It turns out that I lost the most precious confidence and courage as a general."

"Sir Eskar."

Vega stretched out his right hand and shook Eskar’s hand. “It’s an honor to meet you again.”

Veigar repeated what he had said during their previous meeting, which meant that Veigar had recognized that the real Eskar had returned. At the same time, Veigar smiled and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is it too late to invite you to join the dynasty now?"

"I'm so sorry, hahaha..."

This very familiar scene made Eskar laugh until tears came out, and he sincerely thanked Vega.

"Your Excellency, please think carefully."

Vega joked, "When the war is over, you will be executed for your current crimes. Are you really willing to die in humiliation on the gallows at the end of your life?"

"Of course I'm not willing to give in!"

Eskar snorted and said confidently, "I have been a soldier all my life. How can I die in humiliation on the gallows? The war is not over yet. I still have a chance to win and redeem myself. From now on, I will have to rely on Your Highness."

“Then let’s celebrate our reunion with a big victory!” Vega’s tone was full of matter-of-factness.

It seemed as if in his words, the invincible army that defeated the millions of troops of the empire had no power to fight back, and the flying dragon army that made the world tremble was nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs that could be easily destroyed.

If the commander of the Dragon Legion and the leaders of other major countries heard this, they would definitely scold Vega for being arrogant, but Eskar believed it firmly at this moment.

It seems that he was infected by Vega.

Eskar looked towards the direction of the Flying Dragon Army's base with sharp eyes. He deliberately asked Vega: "Your Highness, are you underestimating the Holy Dragon Nation's Flying Dragon Army?"

"I'm just looking down on them."

Veigar's tone was filled with contempt. "How dare a small overseas country look down on the myriad races of our continent and treat us as livestock? They sent out 800,000 sub-dragon species and thought they could unify the east? I dared to destroy his 300,000 black dragon army, so I dared to slaughter his 500,000 flying dragon army."

"It seems that His Highness has made up his mind."

"You and I have a combined army of two million, four times the size of the Flying Dragon Army. How can we lose this battle?"

"Please enlighten me."

Veigar turned and walked down the tower, saying as he walked: "General Eskar, have you ever heard of the saying 'the army of mourning will win'?"
