Mage Veigar

Chapter 617 Frontal Advance
The dynasty army numbered five hundred thousand.

The Jialan Army has three hundred thousand soldiers.

Now the War City has been surrounded, but Vega has not launched an attack.

Although the Empire also sent reinforcements at this time, judging from the speed at which the reinforcements arrived, it would take about seventeen days. Wouldn't it take such a long time to capture a war city?

Three days!

Just three days.

Vega is confident that he can destroy the City of War within three days.

The reason for such confidence is that the city of war is already in chaos, with civilians marching and the military morale unstable. This city, which had shown great bravery in the battle against the Holy Dragon Army, now looks so miserable.

The reason is that there is no reason to fight.

For the empire?

No kidding, the Empire has fooled them badly.

If an army or a city cannot find a reason to continue fighting, then no matter how powerful the army is or how united the city is, it will be nothing more than a fake that will collapse at the slightest touch.

This is Veigar's intention of surrounding but not attacking.

The longer the time dragged on, the easier it would be for him to win the war.

"What's the situation in the city?"

Vega sat on the throne and asked questions to the leader of the reconnaissance team in the conference room.

"Report to His Highness."

The head of the reconnaissance team quickly replied: "The latest intelligence shows that the civilians in the city are very dissatisfied with the army. There were many protesters in the past few days, and even a large number of civilians directly attacked the military camp."

"Interesting, what is the reaction of the Imperial Army?"

Vega didn't seem surprised and continued asking with interest.

The head of the reconnaissance team followed up on Vega’s question and said, “No civilians have taken to the streets to protest in the past two days.”

"Has Kafin finally been unable to resist using violence to control the city?" Vega was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Your Highness is wise."

The head of the reconnaissance team looked at Vega in surprise. He didn't understand why Vega knew so much. "As the scale of the demonstrations and public opinion continued to expand, the military issued an order for military control, arrested a group of civilians, and killed several leaders we sent, finally making the War City stable again. I think this may be detrimental to our army. May I ask whether Your Highness will send spies to continue to guide public opinion in the city and create chaos?"

"no need."

Vega seemed to be confident of victory: "From ancient times to the present, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. It is better to ease than to block. The Empire has adopted this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Perhaps they think they are not dying fast enough, so they ordered the entire army to prepare and launch an attack in five days."

"I'll take care of it now, sir."

Although the head of the reconnaissance team did not understand the meaning of "it is better to open up than to block" and why the Empire's adoption of such violent means was a path to self-destruction, this did not prevent him from faithfully carrying out Vega's orders.

There is a popular saying in the Dynasty Army:

"The prince's words are always right. The prince will not make mistakes. Don't ask why the prince ordered you to do so."

Respected as a god, this is the attitude of the dynasty army towards Vega.

As long as it is said to be Vega's order, even if there is no reason, the soldiers will regard it as the golden rule. Once someone questions it, they will be despised as an outsider and isolated. If I have to describe it, Vega is the emperor in "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Is this really good for an army?
Different people have different opinions. Some generals may criticize Vega for stifling the army's ability to innovate, causing some truly talented people to never have a chance to succeed and eventually become a war machine that only knows how to obey and execute Vega's orders.

If things continue like this.

As long as Vega loses his sense of war one day and cannot maintain his peak condition, the army will inevitably be defeated. Once Vega's myth of invincibility is shattered, it will be like a domino effect, with irreversible defeat.

But Vega just likes such an obedient army.

There is no general in this world who can keep up with his pace of war. Allowing his subordinates to play freely will only hold him back, so Vega doesn't care even if he is criticized as a fool.

Only the winner has the right to speak.

So this army of fools without spirituality launched an attack on the City of War on the fifth day.

The troops are approaching, and their flags cover the sky.

Vega launched a frontal siege by surrounding the city on three sides and leaving one behind. Five hundred thousand soldiers of the Dynasty Army launched attacks on the front and sides, while three hundred thousand soldiers of the Galan Army were responsible for auxiliary attacks in the back. The three-line operation put tremendous pressure on the empire.

Boom boom boom——

It can be seen that the aviation corps has already fought together in the sky.

Vega in the command center checked the time and ordered the messenger, "Let Okasos take action. As long as we break down their city gate, the long-accumulated negative emotions in the empire will explode. Now the city gate is their bottom line."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The messenger conveyed the message to Ocasus.

After receiving the news, Okasos walked alone straight to the front of the enemy's city gate.

He marched forward uprightly and honestly. No one, be they ordinary soldiers, professionals or magicians of the empire, could stop him. All those who stood in his way died.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

The division commander in charge of commanding the battle on the city wall was terrified when he saw Okasos walking towards them, because in the pre-war meeting, Commander Kafin specifically asked them to see the face of the Star Mage clearly to increase their vigilance.

just now.

The star wizard was right in front of him, so how could this commander not panic?

It is important to know that in war, the giants of the Free Alliance are regarded as powerful weapons for sieges. As long as they are allowed to get close to the city gate, their 15-meter height and powerful strength allow them to smash the city walls to pieces, easily helping the army to enter the city.

On the human race side, in frontal siege warfare, there is only one being that can rival the giants—

Star Mage.

Not only is it comparable, it can be said that it is even better.

When fighting against the Free Alliance, as long as the magicians focus on the giants and prevent them from getting close to the city walls, the giants will not be able to pose any threat to the city walls. After all, although the giants have great brute force, they are ultimately just mortals.

Star mages are different.

In the war, except for the War Colossus, no one can hurt the Star Mage in the slightest. Even after releasing all the star magic, a Star Mage who seems to be exhausted is no match for one or several superior mages.

opposite of this.

The star magic of the star wizard can be released on a densely packed army, and it can probably destroy a heavy armored division of 20,000 to 30,000 people at a time. If it is released on a city, it is likely that a whole row of city walls can be overturned in one blow.

How could this commander not be afraid?
Unfortunately, fear was of no use, for no one could stop Ocasos.

then--

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The thick city walls and the troops on the city walls were reduced to ashes under Okasos' attack. The division commander died before he could even scream.

Okasos's horrific blow and the broken city wall finally shattered the last bit of fighting spirit of the imperial army.
