Mage Veigar

Chapter 613: Shooting the bow from left to right

The commander of the War City has been changed.

The one who was replaced was his former defeated opponent - Kafyn Dahlberg.

But the place where he defeated Kafuin was an imaginary war after all, which was naturally incomparable to the real war. At this time, Kafuin was probably ready to avenge his previous defeat and prove his ability.

Vega didn't take this matter to heart.

At this moment, he was secretly applauding Eskar for his wisdom.

Because Vega didn't want to be an enemy of Eskar. After all, it was Eskar who told him the news that the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Empire had formed an alliance. If he were to attack Eskar at that time, wouldn't it seem a bit unjust?
Unkindness is unkindness.

If, as implied in his reply, Eskar insisted on being his enemy, he could only throw aside the so-called righteousness and at most spare Eskar's life after the victory of the war.

Are you sure you will win now?
That's right.

If Eskar had not told him that the 200,000 troops of the Holy Dragon Kingdom were about to arrive, he might still have had the possibility of failure, but Eskar had already told him in advance that the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army was about to arrive, so how could Vega possibly fail?

Unfold the map.

Vega took his base as the center and looked around.

The first is the City of War, which is located in the southwest of the garrison and is the only way to the center of the empire and the Jialan Empire. Now this only way has been blocked by the imperial army and cannot be broken through for the time being.

But don't worry.

The 300,000 reinforcements of Qilis are about to arrive in the Galan Empire. By then, they can attack the War City from both sides. It will be very easy to take it down with some effort. This is Vega's retreat.

But what Vega wants is not a retreat, but victory!

Since the people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom refused to change their ways and still wanted to cause trouble for him, Vega felt it necessary to teach the Holy Dragon Kingdom a lesson again, so that the Holy Dragon Kingdom would be terrified from the bottom of their hearts whenever they saw the flag with a white background and a golden crown and his name.

Kill people and destroy their hearts, eradicate all evil.

This is Veigar’s first goal, and the second goal is naturally to take over the entire northwest direction.

As long as the northwest direction is incorporated into the territory of the Jialan Empire, Vega will occupy 2/5 of the empire's territory. This is completely the territorial standard of a superpower. In terms of territorial scale, it will also surpass the Principality of Baya.

After looking at the retreat route, Vega began to look upwards.

He had to figure out which direction the Holy Dragon Army would advance from.

The north, northeast, and northwest are the three directions that may be the invasion routes of the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army.

There is a smooth road to the north, which is the national highway of the empire.

It is important to know that in the last invasion war by the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the army marched through this route.

Although due north is very suitable for large-scale marches, it is not suitable for covert marches.

This was because the news of the alliance between the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom could not be spread, and if they chose to march along the national highway heading due north, he would definitely detect it in advance, and the concealment effect would be lost.

So this can be ruled out first.

Then look toward the northwest.

There are endless yellow sands and lonely smoke in the desert, so there is no doubt that it can be directly ruled out.

In summary.

The only marching route was northeast.

It is an extension of the Kareni Mountains. Although the mountain road is difficult to travel, it is hidden enough.

The most important thing is that if they come out of the mountain extension, they can directly attack Veigar's base through the Angros Forest, achieving a surprise effect, so this is the best option. But this is only based on Veigar's ignorance.

Now that Vega knew that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was planning to launch a surprise attack on his base, he could use the same tactic against them and ambush the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army in the Angros Forest.

need to know.

The first time the dynasty army clashed with the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was in the Nigard Forest near the City of Ice and Fire. The forest is the most common place where wars break out and is also the battlefield where a tug-of-war is most likely to unfold.

Therefore, the existence of the Angros Forest is beneficial to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but it is even more beneficial to Vega.

Now the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom has no way of knowing that there is an ambush there, so they will definitely not be on high alert. As long as Vega sets up an ambush here, there is absolutely no reason for failure.

But war is not that simple.

The Holy Dragon Nation might not be able to detect it, but there was still a slight possibility that the Empire would be able to detect Vega's abnormality.

So just in case, Vega decided to immediately order an attack on the City of War.

of course.

This attack was not a real attack, but a feint.

Vega's plan was to first destroy the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, take the opportunity to reveal the fact that the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom had formed an alliance, cause unrest in the Empire's society and army, weaken their morale, and finally attack the Empire's War City and join forces with the reinforcements of the Galan Empire to take it down in one battle.

So attacking the city of war is just to attract attention.

Vega was afraid that the Empire would be idle and would speculate on his movements all day, so he planned to find something for the other side to do so that they would focus on the present and avoid exposing the ambush on the Holy Dragon Army.

Time comes the next day.

Vega first sent an envoy to the City of War to ask Kafuin to open the city gates and let them withdraw to the Holy Dynasty. If there is no reply before the morning of the day after tomorrow, the dynasty army will not rule out the use of force to resolve the issue.

"That little brat, did he realize something was wrong so quickly?"

Kafin murmured something in a voice that only he could hear, then smiled and said perfunctorily: "Please tell His Royal Highness the Prince that the formalities are being processed and ask him to be patient so as not to damage the friendship between the two countries."

"But, Commander..."

Vega's messenger wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Kafuin: "Let's stop here for today. Send the guest away."

The messenger was driven out.

At this time, Kafuin laughed loudly: "Humph, I told you clearly not to leave. I want to see how you can break through my million-strong army. This time you won't be as lucky as the last time in the war."

Kafyin is very confident.

Even a fool could tell that the words he conveyed to the messenger were full of perfunctory words.

Rather than being perfunctory, it was more like he was telling Vega directly that he was going to keep him here, and at the same time hinted that Vega could attack them and he would just wait in this city of war.

The reason for self-confidence is.

Kraft had an army of one million under his command, and he was very good at blocking and defensive battles.

So he thought that even if he told Vega clearly that he wanted to keep him, he could still delay Vega here with his ability. Anyway, it would take less than ten days for the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army to arrive. Kafuin was 100% confident that he could delay it for only ten days.

On the third day.

Vega seemed to have completely fallen into Kafuin's trap and took the initiative to order the legion to launch an attack. Although the offensive was not fierce, Kafuin understood it as an early exploratory war, which made Kafuin even happier.

After all, there is nothing more interesting in the world than watching your enemy fall into your trap.
