Mage Veigar

Chapter 639: The Way to Win
That was a map of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Different from other generals' private maps which are covered with marks.

Vega's map is extremely simple. Even a layman can understand which places on the map are important and which are not, not to mention a battle-hardened admiral like Tanni Rheinberg.

There are only two places marked on this map with a red marker.

The first place is the city of Gasiri, which has now been occupied by Vega. So it can be inferred that the other place marked by Vega must be his second target location.

Where is this destination?
Holy Dragon City!
It is absolutely true. Apart from the city of Gasili, the only other marked location on this map is the Holy Dragon City.

In other words, Vega had no intention of advancing step by step, but was preparing to take a single step and directly capture the enemy's capital, cutting off the dragon species' escape route back to overseas.

As the saying goes, cut the grass at its roots.

But the grass had not yet been cut, and Vega wanted to cut its roots first.

This extremely bold idea has stunned Tanniel Rheinberg.

If he were in command of this war, the most he could think of was to feint an attack on Holy Dragon City, forcing the 800,000 Silver Dragon Legion and Red Dragon Legion in Nasisir City to attack Gashili, and then ambush them on the way.

As long as these 800,000 troops are gone, the war situation in the southeast direction will be basically stabilized. Then they can advance steadily and step by step towards other weak points of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and finally surround the Holy Dragon City, the capital of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

What? Conservative? Unworthy of the title of gambler?
No! In fact, it is not conservative at all. A truly conservative officer would not even attack Gashiri. He would definitely take Naxixi City or other strategic points as the starting point to gain a firm foothold before taking his time to attack.

Before the war, Tanier had the same idea as Vega.

The map in the basement highlighted the Gasilion Highlands, proving that Tanier was eager for adventure, but his level of madness was clearly not on the same level as Vega's.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, are you confident about this goal?"

Tanier asked this meaningless question subconsciously.

"Of course."

Vega showed his signature brilliant smile: "Even you can't guess my move, let alone those overseas people. I suddenly attacked Shenglong City at this time. The enemy is caught off guard and will definitely suffer a great loss."

"But... have you considered the risks involved?"

Tenniel not only saw the benefits of this plan, but also failed to see the fatal flaws exposed in it.

There is no perfect plan in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that this plan is a great success with little effort.

But this kind of plan contains huge risks. If there is a slight miscalculation, there will be no recovery.

So what are the risks of this plan?
First of all, the Holy Dragon City is the center of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, where the most elite 60 Holy Dragon Legion is stationed. This 60 Holy Dragon Legion is composed of a huge number of holy dragon envoys and flying dragons. If they were to confront them head-on, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

Moreover, the Holy Dragon Kingdom defended the city.

Under this premise, even if Vega's 500,000-man army were to catch the enemy by surprise, it would be difficult for them to gain any advantage.

What will be the consequences if we fail to capture Holy Dragon City in a short period of time?
The city of Gasili will be reoccupied by the belated 800,000-strong Holy Dragon Army.

Foster was trapped in the kingdom and was in a dilemma because the city of Gasili was recaptured by the kingdom. If he had not fought a desperate battle and captured the Dragon City, the grass on his grave would probably be several meters high now.

So although Vega's plan is brilliant, it is too risky.

The gambler was so big that even Tenniel was unwilling to give it a try, because a real gambler never gambles for the sake of gambling. He could obviously win the war step by step, so why would he risk his life to gamble on this one?

However, Vega still gave a positive answer.

“Of course I understand the risks involved, but I believe we will win this battle!” Vega said in a confident and even conceited tone.

You have to know that Vega is a person who is extremely afraid of death. In most wars, unless he has no choice, he will not choose a risky plan without certainty.

Therefore.

If Vega chose such a risky plan when he clearly had a way out, it could only mean one thing -

A plan that seems risky to others, to him, is risk-free and has a 99% chance of success.

So where is the victory point of this war?

If one surprise attack isn't enough, how about another?
Of course, at night, Vega wrote a letter and ordered the Shadow Mage to deliver the letter to Queen Xia in the dynasty's capital, Saint Laurent City, overnight. The content of this letter was of course a request for reinforcements.

Because Gasiri is very close to the dynasty.

The Shadow Mage rode alone and reached the Dynasty City of Ice and Fire in less than a day.

Because Vega had taken over the entire northern part of the empire and had mastered the technology of war airships, while manufacturing war airships on a large scale, civil aviation routes, with the city of Rops as the center, had covered almost all the important cities of the Galan Empire and the Dynasty.

The Shadow Mage took a civilian airship from the Ice and Fire City Civil Aviation Port and arrived in Saint Laurent City in just two days, where he handed Vega's letter to Queen Xia.

“A letter from Vega…?”

Xia's hands trembled as she took the letter.

Before being a queen, she was first and foremost Veigar's wife.

Her husband had been away fighting for more than half a year and there had been no news from him. As a wife, she was undoubtedly worried. When she heard that Vega had a letter for her, she stopped practicing temporarily without even caring about her advancement. After all, this was the first time her husband had written to her in half a year.

So what would be in the letter?
As Xia opened the envelope, she couldn't stop shedding tears of happiness.

In these few short seconds, Xia had already begun to imagine the contents of the letter.

Could it be that he wrote the letter specifically to express his concern for her health?
Just thinking about this made her extremely happy.

Or do you want to ask about her recent situation?
Being cared for by your husband is probably the happiest thing in the world.

Or just write a letter to let everyone know you're safe?

If I were cared for like this, I would probably faint from happiness.

After I finish reading the letter, how should I write a reply to her Prince?
Can I ask him how he's doing lately? Would that be a little awkward?

Can I ask him when he will return to Yves Saint Laurent? Will this cause him more trouble?

Could I tell him that the pansies in the palace were in bloom again? Would he be dissatisfied with such a boring reply?

Or……

Should I just tell him that I miss him very much?
Will this cause him any trouble?

Xia finally opened the envelope amidst her turbulent thoughts and read the contents of the letter -

"Order the navy to march to Holy Dragon City immediately!"

Xia read the letter over and over again until the few words were blurred by tears and could no longer be recognized.
