Mage Veigar

Chapter 615 Target: Empire!
This is the fourth war fought by the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

The first time was against the Kingdom, and the second, third, and fourth times were against Vega.

The first complete victory boosted the morale of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and the fact that they destroyed a big country in three months shocked the world. However, they suffered heavy losses in the next three wars. Not only did they fail to win a single victory, but they also directly lost half of the country's military strength.

After this battle.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom was severely damaged and was cast under a curse, which was the Holy Dynasty.

Now, the flag with a white background and a golden crown has become the nightmare of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

The 110,000 Earth Dragon Legion that escaped from the Angelos Forest were like seeing a ghost. Legion Commander Laercy did not reorganize the battle, nor did he ignore the agreement with the Empire. Instead, he led the army back the same way.

Kraft was shocked when he received the news.

He never expected that such a sudden change would occur in a war that seemed to be a sure win.

Clearly, the dynasty army and he had been fighting fiercely in the past few days, so why was the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army ambushed in the Angelos Forest? This was something Kafin Dalberg couldn't understand.

If that were all, that would be fine.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. When he received the news that the Holy Dragon Army had ignored the agreement and returned along the same route, an army of about 300,000 people was marching towards the city of war.

Their banners are staffs and swords.

The power represented by this flag is self-evident. It is the newest rising power in the East - the Jialan Empire.

It is also self-evident why that army came here, because their emperor was Vega Saint Laurent.

In other words.

Now there are 500,000 Vega Dynasty troops in front of the War City and 300,000 Galan troops in the back. They... are surrounded.

"Damn Holy Dragon Country!"

Kafyin gritted his teeth and said, "I knew these people were untrustworthy. They still had 110,000 combat forces, but they simply ignored morality and returned the same way. These damn aliens."

No matter how much you curse, you still have to think of a solution.

Kafuin first sent a letter asking for help to the Imperial Army. As long as the reinforcements could arrive before the fall of the War City, there would still be hope.

So how long will this take?
All in all, it would take at least a week from sending the letter for help, organizing the army, to the arrival of reinforcements.

Of course, the one week here refers to transporting troops via air routes. Given the threats from the Star Mages and the Dynasty and Galan Empire Air Corps, it is obviously impossible to transport them by air, so they can only go by land.

If we go by land, the trip will be delayed by ten days.

In other words, Kafyn Dahlberg needs to stay in the war city for seventeen days before he can wait for reinforcements.

Can he hold out for seventeen days?
Kafin is confident in this. His title is the Unbreakable Formation, and he is best at defensive and blocking battles. Even if Vega's side has the Star Mage, a powerful weapon of war, he still has this confidence.

Even if the city gate was lost, he could still fight Vega in the streets.

He was the second Imperial officer who had thoroughly understood Vega's street fighting theory after Clemens. He knew very well that street fighting and guerrilla warfare were not about whoever was the founder. Street fighting and guerrilla warfare really depended on familiarity with the terrain and the support of the general public. And this place was not any other place, this was the city of war!

The army of the City of War believes in war.

The civilians of the city of war also believe in war.

In this city where everyone is a soldier, guerrilla warfare and street fighting are like a duck in water. As an expert in defensive warfare, Kafin is particularly confident about the upcoming war.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Eskar." Kafuin muttered to himself, "After all, it was he who restored the confidence of the Imperial Army. It was also he who united the entire city and formed the current situation where everyone is a soldier, paving the way for my next war."

But the moment he thought of Eskar, he recalled that look of pity.

Why should we pity him?
Could it be that Eskar had already predicted that this war would be a failure?

"What a joke! You guys are overestimating this kid."

Kafin did not suspect that Eskar had secretly informed on the matter, which led to the defeat of the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the war, because as a senior officer of the empire, Eskar must have basic professional ethics.

As for why the Holy Dragon Kingdom was ambushed.

Everyone believed that Vega had anticipated the enemy's moves, because Vega's sense of war was always terrifyingly sensitive. In most wars, he seemed to have the ability to foresee the future and was always able to anticipate the enemy's moves and be one step ahead.

"Mobilize the whole city and tell them that the war is about to begin."

Kaf put all this behind him, and began to win the hearts of the people, preparing for a tug-of-war with Vega.

With an army of one million, the support of civilians, and familiarity with the city's terrain, if all goes well, he is confident that he can hold out for at least two months, making it difficult for Vega to move forward even if he breaks through the city wall.

Kafyin's decision seemed foolproof.

If he faced an ordinary enemy, he would not only be able to defend the city of war, but he would even be able to turn defeat into victory.

Unfortunately, his opponent is Vega.

How could the being who loves to play with people's hearts the most not know the importance of geographical location and human harmony?

The ancient sages on Earth once told Vega that in the art of war, attacking the heart is better than attacking the city; psychological warfare is better than physical warfare. At this time, the enemy has an army of one million, while his army and the army of the Jialan Empire combined only have 800,000. Therefore, even with the Star Mage as a powerful weapon, Vega cannot resort to physical warfare.

Because psychological warfare is more effective and more convenient.

Vega now has evidence of an alliance between the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The recorded images and testimonies of the captives cannot be denied. In particular, the Holy Dragon Kingdom soldiers all have distinct features on their faces, which cannot be faked in any way.

Countries around the world regard the Holy Dragon Kingdom as the public enemy of the continent.

The common people of the empire gnashed their teeth at the existence of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

If the former knew that the Empire was colluding with the Holy Dragon Kingdom to destroy Vega, then at worst they would send an army to attack, at least they would isolate the Empire. In particular, the Empire's diplomatic relations and layout west of the Jialan Mountains would all be wasted.

The latter is more serious than the former.

Since ancient times, whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world. Losing the hearts of the people means social unrest and uneasy military morale.

What kind of sparks will it cause when the civilians know that their government has formed an alliance with their own murderous enemies? I am afraid that the army will be directly confused and begin to doubt what they are fighting for.

Wait until public opinion reaches a certain peak.

Then, the entire war city, from civilians to soldiers, will not have the slightest desire to fight. Even if Kafin has a perfect plan, it will be shattered in an instant.

It's not just the city of war.

By then, the entire empire will be questioned from both home and abroad, and will be in turmoil.

Taking over the city of war is just the beginning.

This time, Vega's target is - the Empire!
