Mage Veigar

Chapter 614: Opportunity for Unification

The outskirts of Angros Forest.

The army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom has arrived here.

As the main force of this war, they sneaked in here wearing the military uniforms given to them by the empire.

Lerch was the corps commander of this army.

He will lead this army called the 'Earth Dragon Legion' and join forces with the Imperial Army to annihilate Vega on the Empire's territory.

He was already very familiar with the name Vega Saint Laurent.

Of course, this does not mean that he and Vega have ever fought each other, but that the Flying Dragon Legion and the Black Dragon Legion, totaling 1 soldiers, were all destroyed in the hands of this man. This is 3/ of the military strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Vega's achievements made Lercy dare not underestimate him.

When they first arrived, they easily conquered the United Kingdom, which made the Holy Dragon Nation think that the Jialan Continent had fallen. They would restore the rule of the suzerain state and become the new overlord of the continent. Unfortunately, Vega later shattered their fantasy and used two massacre-like victories to tell them that the continent was not as simple as they imagined.

Veigar became the nightmare and stumbling block of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

If the Holy Dragon Nation wants to realize its long-cherished wish of ruling the continent, it must remove the stumbling block of Vega and shatter this nightmare that has plagued the Holy Dragon Nation for so long.

This battle must be won.

Whether for himself or for the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he must win.

Moreover, in Lercy's opinion, this battle has a considerable chance of winning.

Because no one had expected that the Empire would agree to form an alliance with them, so as long as they bypassed the Angros Forest tomorrow, they could join forces with the Imperial Army to attack Vega's base from both inside and outside and crush this nightmare with their own hands.

"Command the entire army to speed up."

Lercy issued orders to the entire army.

The Earth Dragon Legion is his direct military force. Although the number of soldiers in this army is much smaller than that of the Black Dragon Army and the Flying Dragon Army, their soldiers have stronger endurance and their magic defense can last for seven hours.

This is unique in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

The soldiers' better quality and greater endurance mean the possibility of long-distance raids.

So after considering his own army, Lerch temporarily changed his mind.

He planned to cross the Angelos Forest today and attack Vega's base tonight. This was because he was afraid that the night would take too long and Vega would notice the last step in advance.

Unfortunately, the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom didn’t know this.

Their intentions had already been fully exposed by Eskar.

In fact, as soon as they appeared nearby, Vega's reconnaissance team had already discovered them.

So changing the timing of the sneak attack is useless.

"Let Ocasos do it."

After hearing that the enemy had entered the ambush site, Vega ordered Okasos to take action.

Ambush is always one of the best wars to fight.

As long as the strength of both sides is equal, the side that is well-rested will always have a natural advantage, while the side that is ambushed will fall into the passive position of the war due to the hasty battle and inability to organize a good formation, and will eventually be wiped out.

This is why the Holy Dragon Nation army wanted to launch a surprise attack on Vega.

If Vega had not received the news in advance and was attacked by this army tonight, he would have had almost no strength to fight back, and even the Imperial Army might have been wiped out here without even having to clean up the mess.

The same reason.

Now that the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army has come under sudden attack, do they have any other ending?
Absolutely not.

At this time, Okasos received Vega's order, stood in the air, and cast magic on the army below.

"Strange, I always feel that it's getting a little stuffy around here."

Lercy wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sudden rise in temperature made him want to take off his military coat.

It is deep winter now, and it should not be so hot and humid. This really puzzled him, and in the end he could only attribute it to the climate here.

But as time went on, he finally felt something was wrong.

Because the snow on the pine trees began to melt and turned into raindrops that fell on his face.

Lercy wiped away the water droplets with her hand: "Strange, it's not cold, but warm?"

Muttering to himself, Lerxi couldn't help but raise his head and looked up at the sky with a puzzled look. This glance made him feel like he was about to die.

Because through the many gaps, he happened to see Okasos standing in the sky, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Stop him! Someone stop him!"

Lercy suddenly thought of the information she had seen before coming here.

The being named Vega Saint Laurent has a star elemental mage under his command.

Everyone knew the destructive power that a Star Mage could cause, but unfortunately, when the temperature rose and the snow melted, it was too late to stop Okasos.

Boom boom boom——

Explosions rose from the ground, and then the forest turned into a hell of fire.

Even in such a winter, the accumulated snow and rain could not stop the spread of the flames, which burned more than 1 soldiers of the Holy Dragon Army, accounting for about 10/ of the army.

Because it was a surprise attack.

So when the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom recovered and wanted to send out flying dragons and holy dragon envoys to kill the exhausted star mage here, they found that the place was deserted and Okasos was no longer there.

But this was only the prelude to the massacre.

After the fire, Vega's army took advantage of the chaos of the Earth Dragon Legion and launched an attack.

shhhhh--

Arrows flew out from every corner, reaping the lives of soldiers who had not yet activated their magic defenses.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All troops activate their magic power and attack!"

Without Lerxi's order, the entire army has activated magic defense.

If it were in the past, they would have launched an attack without hesitation, because in the war against the United Kingdom, they were ambushed countless times. Unfortunately, it was always the United Kingdom's army that was defeated in the end. No one could win against a group of invulnerable monsters.

But this time is different.

Because they knew that the army on the other side was not the United Kingdom's army, but the nightmare-like dynasty army.

Why do you know it so clearly?
This was thanks to the soldiers who survived the previous two wars, who spread their experiences of the previous two wars after returning and made the dynasty army into an invincible existence.

Although the Holy Dragon Kingdom also thought about controlling public opinion.

Unfortunately, some things cannot be banned no matter what, just like the imperial army that has been defeated in successive battles. Even if a new army is replaced, it will still be affected by the failures in previous wars and will eventually continue to fail.

When fighting against the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army, morale is the decisive factor.

The army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom has already regarded the white flag with a golden crown as a scourge.

Therefore, even if Lerxi gave the order to attack, they would no longer charge bravely as before, but would cautiously advance the front line. This would waste a lot of time and miss the golden period when their combat power was at its peak.

The outcome of the war is obvious.

The army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom wasted its golden time when it had the strongest explosive power. By the time they realized that the Dynasty Army was not invincible, it was too late. Having lost their magic defense, they became lambs to be slaughtered.

The defeat was a crushing defeat.

The army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was defeated by Vega again.

Vega ultimately annihilated nearly 9 soldiers, and let about 11 escape.

The reason why they wiped out the enemy forces in the previous few times was to show their momentum and let the Holy Dragon Kingdom know how powerful they were.

The dynasty's invincible image had been created in the first two times.

Therefore, letting 110,000 people escape now is to allow this group of people to return to the country and continue to create a pessimistic atmosphere, affecting the morale of other troops and making them believe from the bottom of their hearts that the Dynasty Army is absolutely invincible.

This was the third time the Holy Dragon Kingdom was defeated.

The Holy Dragon Army, which is now suffering defeat after defeat, will completely become the former Imperial Army. It clearly has the conditions for victory, but when the war comes, it sadly discovers that no matter how it fights or what method it uses, it cannot win.

When the war came here, Vega finally smiled.

Because he finally saw the opportunity to unify the entire East.

Now in the entire East, the Holy Dragon Kingdom is trapped in a nightmare and cannot extricate itself. It is no longer a cause for concern.

And since the empire dared to form an alliance with the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he, who had the key evidence in his hands, was ready to push the empire into the abyss.

A powerful empire will eventually become trapped in its own web.
