Chapter 658 Escape intact
The Holy Dragon Army’s headquarters.

The Silver Dragon Legion and the Red Dragon Legion, with a total of 800,000 soldiers, are stationed in front of the Holy Dragon City.

With their individual qualities, if they march at full speed, the main force can launch an attack on Shenglong City within 6 hours, and the vanguard force can even shorten this time by half.

In addition, there are spies stationed around Shenglong City.

No matter from which angle the Holy Dynasty's army wants to retreat, they will be able to obtain intelligence at the first time, and send out the vanguard to delay the enemy, while the main force follows from the rear to completely destroy the dynasty army.

Now they have probably determined one thing -

That means Vega is truly unable to command the army anymore.

These twenty attempts have wiped out about 7 Dynasty troops. No matter how patient Vega is, it is impossible for him to endure to this extent and not launch an attack on them.

Therefore, the atmosphere in their meeting was very harmonious, which was in sharp contrast to the dynasty army.

First, the commander-in-chief Augustus explained the next battle plan to the Holy Dragon King: "Your Majesty, we have already tested the Dynasty Army 20 times, and we have confirmed everything we wanted to confirm. I think we can mobilize the entire army next time to launch a final decisive battle against the Dynasty Army."

"Hahaha--"

The Holy Dragon King laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then said, "Finally, we have waited until this day. I never thought that this little devil would be unable to command the army at such a critical moment. This time, even the heavens are helping us. The era of the sub-dragon species is finally coming."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The other generals echoed, "This time we will not only take back Shenglong City, but also avenge our previous humiliation. We will leave all the remaining troops of the Dynasty Army in Shenglong City and return the humiliation they have inflicted on us with interest."

"Captain Augustus."

The Holy Dragon King agreed with what he said. He looked at Augustus and said, "Has the time for the decisive battle been set? I can't wait to wash away my shame."

"The time has been set."

Augustus smiled and said, "In two days we will launch the decisive battle."

"Two days... only two days."

Including the Holy Dragon King, everyone in the conference room had longing looks in their eyes.

But too much joy can lead to sorrow. Just when the meeting room was filled with joy, a soldier rushed into the meeting room in a panic, and brought a piece of news that instantly destroyed the atmosphere -

"Your Majesty, the king's army is coming!"

A single stone can cause a thousand waves. This sentence was like a nuclear bomb explosion, leaving everyone's mind blank.

"Wang, the Dynasty army took the initiative to attack us?"

The Holy Dragon King asked uncertainly.

The soldier gave him a more accurate answer: "In about an hour, the enemy will reach our station."

When the news was confirmed, everyone didn't even know what expression to make.

The Holy Dragon King stood up from his seat and looked at Augustus: "Augustus, what is going on? Why did the Dynasty Army have the courage to attack us at this critical moment?"

"I, your humble servant, do not know."

Augustus sweated profusely.

According to common sense, it is impossible for the army of the Holy Dynasty to leave the city and take the initiative to start a war with them. Such behavior is no different from flying into a flame and seeking death.

Then the problem is coming.

Why would the Dynasty Army behave like they have lost their IQ?

A very scary guess was growing in everyone's mind at the same time -

Vega is back.

"Could it be that... that kid has regained consciousness?"

The Holy Dragon King's voice trembled slightly, and when he said this, cold sweat appeared on everyone's forehead.

"Your Majesty, I think things may be worse than we thought."

Augustus swallowed and said, "If the kid has just woken up, with his intelligence, he must be able to see the current situation clearly and will never attack us at this time." "What I am most worried about is--"

Augustus wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained, "That so-called 'absolutely true' news was deliberately spread by him in order to lure us into an active attack. Then he will use twenty displays of weakness to paralyze us. When he has everything in place and thinks he has a sure win, he will attack us."

"Retreat! Must retreat immediately!"

The generals were also panicking. Out of fear of Vega's reputation and death, and not knowing whether Vega had really arranged something secretly, their brains could no longer remain calm, and they completely regarded the sudden attack of the dynasty army as a trap that Vega had planned for a long time.

This would be impossible for someone else.

But when it comes to Vega, it can be confirmed 100%. Otherwise, how can we explain why the Dynasty Army, which was so cowardly until today, suddenly showed its might and rushed towards them regardless of everything?
Because it was not the first time that Vega had unexpectedly defeated them in a place they least expected.

This left the Holy Dragon King unable to take care of anything else.

He immediately said to everyone, "We have no time to waste. The entire army must retreat immediately and abandon all the logistical supplies that cannot be taken away. If we are delayed by that little devil, we may be completely wiped out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A group of generals rushed out of the meeting room in a hurry.

They quickly organized their troops to retreat, fearing that their lives would be in danger if they took a step at night.

Under the circumstances of forced march, the Holy Dragon Kingdom retreated 150 miles overnight. After learning that the Holy Dynasty did not pursue them, they retreated another 150 miles before they dared to feel at ease and set up camp.

The sudden attack from the Holy Dynasty really scared them.

"All departments report casualties."

In the midst of his busy schedule, the Holy Dragon King convened a temporary meeting and asked everyone for information on casualties.

"The Silver Dragon Legion suffered almost no losses."

"The Red Dragon Legion suffered no losses either."

Augustus and Palitzer looked at each other, and then reported to the Holy Dragon King: "Your Majesty, fortunately in this unfortunate situation, we deployed a large number of spies and retreated very timely. We only lost some logistical supplies and did not engage in direct combat with the dynasty."

"I-We escaped?"

The Holy Dragon King's expression finally relaxed.

However, when the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which had retreated 300 miles, was rejoicing that it had escaped without losing a single soldier, the army of the Holy Dynasty had already turned back to Holy Dragon City and was heading towards the Holy Dragon Port in the opposite direction. Now they had all boarded the naval fleet transferred from the inland of the dynasty.

Another half day.

They can then leave the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and return to the inland of the Holy Dynasty.

There was no one who could stop them now.

Because their only enemy, the Holy Dragon Kingdom, was scared back more than 300 miles. Even if they marched quickly, it would take a day and a half to get here. What's more, the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom did not know that the Holy Dragon City had become a deserted city.

On the deck of the ship.

Okasos stood in the distance and looked at Xia, who was quietly waiting for the sunrise in the faint morning light and the blowing sea breeze.

"The King of the Holy Dynasty has truly arrived."

Okasos's excited words drifted across the Dragon Sea on the wind.

Xia's tactic of advancing to retreat not only made the Holy Dragon Kingdom unable to recover until now, but also made a group of generals who were terrified before the war sincerely convinced by her.

need to know.

When Xia ordered the entire army to launch an offensive, all the generals present tried their best to stop him, because that was like throwing an egg against a stone, and even suicide was not the right way to do it.

But what happened later?
But the facts prove that they are simply short-sighted.

It was true that they were discovered by the Holy Dragon Kingdom's reconnaissance forces as soon as they left the city. It was also true that the Holy Dragon Kingdom had obtained intelligence and could have arranged a formation in advance to make sure that the enemy would never return. But the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army simply fled without even taking care of logistical supplies?

This, this, this...is there something wrong?
What no one expected was that not only did they escape unscathed, but what made them feel like they were living in a dream was that they also burned down the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s base and the logistical supplies that were left behind.
