Mage Veigar

Chapter 688 Change direction
"This is impossible!"

Augustus immediately rejected the suggestion and said, "That divine magic is absolutely true. Apart from divine magic, no one else can make ordinary soldiers immortal and invincible. This is a real thing."

"I am not denying the reality of divine magic."

Foster said in a leisurely manner: "What I deny is the fact that the Divine Mage exists."

"You mean to say..."

Augustus showed a surprised expression on his face: "Is this divine magic similar to a disposable prop? Now the Jialan Empire is actually just a power with a strong appearance but a weak core?"

"Yes."

Foster doubted, "If Vega already has a Divine Mage in his hands, he would have shown up in the battle against Saint Laurent, so he would have used it. In front of a Divine Mage, even your country's trump card cannot compare."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."

Augustus nodded, acknowledging that the bone dragon could not defeat the divine mage.

Then the doubt arises.

In fact, the Jialan Army did not have any divine mages at all, but only had something like a divine magic one-time experience card. This was enough to explain why it was not used in the battle of Saint Laurent, but was only used when there was no way to retreat.

"But this is just your guess after all."

Augustus frowned and said, "We can't possibly invade the west bank with our entire army just because of your guess. If you guess right, it's fine. But if you guess wrong, they are the defending side and have the advantage of the Donbu River. We are in danger of being wiped out."

"Of course I understand that."

Foster stood up and said, "So this is our chance. It's our chance to find out whether that kid really has a Divine Mage, and whether the method of restraining a Divine Mage is feasible. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation with your country this time."

"The Holy Dragon Nation will certainly provide assistance."

Augustus and Foster saluted each other and reached a cooperation.

They ordered the main force to move back, and the vanguard was separated from the main force and stationed on the river bank. If Vega really had a divine magician at that time, they could sacrifice the vanguard to delay until the end of the divine magic. At the very least, they could buy time for the main force to retreat. After all, this battle was mainly a test.

Of course, Vega didn't know about the plans of the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

After all, he was not an omniscient and omnipotent god. He could guess that the Dao Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom would definitely use some method to test him, but he could not guess the specific details.

But it doesn't hurt.

Because during these few days, Vega made the final plan.

First of all.

Vega placed Foster and Augustus on the same level as himself, not looking down on them at all, nor was he so arrogant as to think that the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Empire on the east coast would flee as soon as his army arrived.

In addition, everyone has a sense of gain and loss.

It's not so easy to get something for nothing.

So after thinking from another perspective, Vega believed that if he were Foster, he would definitely take some measures to restrict the non-existent divine mage, because there is no such thing as no weakness in this world.

There are so many ants that they can kill an elephant.

The divine wizard is not the most powerful being; wisdom is what is truly terrifying.

Therefore, Veigar believed that if he were Foster, he could completely copy the theory of guerrilla tactics, take advantage of the terrain and the defensive side, and mainly engage in guerrilla warfare or tug-of-war. Once the magic of the divine position disappears, this side will undoubtedly be defeated. Veigar has a clear understanding of the weaknesses of the magic of the divine position.

Because only by recognizing your weaknesses can you maximize your strengths.

This divine magic which no longer exists was not tailor-made for attack, but for defense. Once the city is defended, the enemy dares to launch an attack without restraint. As the defender, using this magic will surely make the attacker die without a burial place.

In summary.

Vega concluded that the correct way to deal with the opponent's temptation is to not accept the opponent's temptation.

Then the question is, if we don't accept the temptation of the other side and don't take the initiative to cross the Donbu River, how can we take back the entire east bank? After all, the east bank is occupied by two countries, and the initiative is in their hands, not here.

Vega pointed his finger towards the east of the empire in front of everyone.

One of the generals asked in confusion: "Commander, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to march to the east coast? What do you mean by pointing to the eastern part of the empire that is adjacent to us? We don't have the capital to fight on two fronts, or do you want to change your goal?"

"May I ask why we are attacking the East Coast?"

“It’s to take back our homeland.”

Vega nodded and said, "That's right. Attacking the east coast is just a means to achieve the goal. Now I want to tell you that attacking the east of the empire can also achieve the goal of retaking the east coast. So do we need to cross the river and march east?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other: "The eastern part of the empire is adjacent to the western coast. If we attack the eastern part of the empire, we can take back our homeland. I think this will save a huge amount of money for logistics, but is it possible?"

"Excuse me, Commander."

A staff officer seemed to understand a little and said, "You want to use the attack on the eastern part of the empire to create a sense of crisis for the empire and force Foster on the east coast to withdraw, right? This may be feasible, but if the enemy takes advantage of the emptiness of the west coast and directly crosses the river to attack us, I am afraid that within half a month, the entire west coast will fall. At that time, they will attack us from both sides, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Please trust me."

Vega said firmly: "The Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom will never dare to attack us!"

That's right.

The Dunbu River is a natural barrier, and with Vega's reputation as a divine mage, if the two countries send too few soldiers, one star mage, Shia, will be enough to handle everything. If they send too many soldiers...

Do not!
Foster and Augustus did not dare to attack with their entire army.

Because once the entire army attacks, if Vega really has a divine mage on his side, they won't even have a chance to retreat.

This is the result of Vega's thinking for so many days.

On the premise of giving up attacking the east coast, the goal of regaining the homeland can be achieved by attacking the eastern part of the empire.

This means that if we attack them, they will have to retreat; if we use the divine wizard to bluff them, they will not dare to attack the west bank.

Moreover, Vega only came to the conclusion about the sudden change of attack direction in the past two days, and Foster could not have guessed that in such an unexpected situation, the 50 imperial troops in the east who had just retreated from the west coast might not be prepared at all, which was more conducive to his plan of attacking Wei to save Zhao.

"Order!"

At the end of the meeting, Vega made the final decision: "The entire army will be secretly transferred to the eastern part of the empire. In addition, notify Silis to immediately attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Write a letter to the rebel leader Coverdale and ask him if he is willing to deal a heavy blow to the empire."
