Mage Veigar

Chapter 692 You come and I go
Driven by the Jialan Army Air Force.

The entire imperial army was forced into the forest to avoid the attack of the Galan Air Force.

This was undoubtedly fatal to the Imperial Army. Once they entered the forest, it would be almost impossible for them to reach Erkia City and deploy defenses before Vega.

There was no Haussmann's army deployed.

The reinforcements from the central part of the empire could not arrive in time.

This means that Erkia has become Vega's possession.

No, it can even be said that if they won this race, the entire East and Haussmann's 300,000 imperial troops would be caught off guard, and all Haussmann could do was sit and wait for death.

“I don’t wait for advantages, I create them.”

Vega smiled brightly.

In Vega's opinion.

A real race is never limited to the competition process, but should establish an absolute advantage before the race.

If Vega were to participate in a race, he would never leave the suspense of victory or defeat until the moment the starting gun sounds. Given his personality, he would probably use intimidation, poisoning, threats, kidnapping, etc. to make his opponent lose at the starting line.

just now.

An absolute advantage has been created by Vega.

Therefore, for the Imperial Army, the current situation is definitely not optimistic, and they do not have much time left.

But Hausmann was not panicked.

After he led his troops into the forest and avoided the air force bombing, he did not immediately order the entire army to march quickly towards the city of Erkia, but instead leisurely let the entire army enter a state of rest.

"Commander, the latest information."

A division commander reported to Hausmann: "As you expected, the enemy is marching towards Erkia. At the current marching speed, they will definitely reach Erkia within five days. With the current defense strength of Erkia, it will probably not last more than three days. But it will take us about 15 days to reach Erkia."

"Commander, we don't have time to rest!"

Another division commander said excitedly: "We should hurry up and march now. There may be a glimmer of hope. Please let us struggle. I cannot bear to sit and wait for death."

Everyone echoed.

Obviously he was unwilling to admit defeat.

At this time, Hausman nodded and said, "In that case, let's stop here for the rest."

Hausman coughed and said, "Order the entire army to march westward."

"Yes, Commander..."

A division commander stood up and was about to give an order when he was stunned: "Commander, did you...did you give the wrong order? Erkia is in the east, not in the west."

"Your Excellency, I am not old enough to not know what I am talking about."

Hausman trembled as he lit a cigar and said, "It is absolutely stupid to participate in a race that is bound to fail. When fighting against that kid, what we should do is definitely not to defeat him at his own pace, but to pull him into our war rhythm and make him run for his life."

"The rhythm of war?"

Several staff officers looked at each other; this term was very new to them.

"That's right, it's the rhythm of war." Hausman said loudly, "Since we are bound to lose in their race, let's start another race and drag them into our race. From now on, our destination is not the city of Elkia, but the Black Gold City on the west coast of the Galan Empire. As long as we get there before the Galan Army, we win."

wow-

A group of generals stood up excitedly.

"That's it, that's it."

The division commander said excitedly: "The enemy's main force has all gone to the east, so the west bank must be empty. As long as we take down the Black Gold City on the west bank, the Jialan Army will definitely return to defend. In this way, not only will Elkia be saved, but the Jialan Army will also fall into our rhythm."

"Yes."

Hausman coughed and said, “The secret to winning this race is to change the finish line.”

"Commander, is this plan inappropriate?"

The Chief of Staff stepped forward and said with concern: "After all, there are God-level mages and Star-level mages on the West Coast. If we attack the Black Gold City, the biggest possibility is not that we will capture the Black Gold City and force the Jialan Army to return to defend, but that the entire army will be wiped out."

"This……"

Everyone looked at Hausmann again.

After all, compared to attacking, Star Mages and Divine Mages can better play their advantages in city defense. If the enemy has Star Mages and Divine Mages, it is almost impossible for them to capture the City of Black Gold.

"A divine mage?"

Hausman said disdainfully: "That's just a bluff. Do you think that kid didn't attack the east coast and instead attacked us for the territory in the east of the empire? What a joke. In terms of priority, Saint Laurent must be given priority. His goal has never been the east of the empire. He plans to use the east to force Foster to withdraw his troops."

"I have concluded now."

Hausman said categorically: "The Jialan Empire does not have any divine mages. If there were, given the character of that kid, he would definitely use the divine mages to attack the East Coast directly, instead of attacking us to force Foster to withdraw. Because a divine mage commanded by a top general is nothing but a joke, no matter what means Foster has to counter. Foster sometimes overestimates himself a little and underestimates the means of that kid."

"You mean he's bluffing?"

"It's just bluffing."

Hausman said disdainfully, "He just wants to take advantage of Foster's desire for gain and loss. After all, Foster's combat style has always been known for its rigor. Rigorous people don't like to take risks. In a situation where the probability of the existence of a divine mage is 50% each, Foster will consider it as the existence of a divine mage and adopt a conservative strategy."

"But I'm different."

Hausman said firmly: "As long as there is a 50% chance that there is no Divine Mage in the Jialan Empire, I will conclude that it does not exist. Moreover, judging from Vega Saint Laurent's suspicious actions now, the probability is far more than 50%."

"Soldier."

Hausman turned to look at a soldier and said, "Go to the east bank immediately and have Foster's entire army attack the west bank. Draw the attention of the west bank defenders and the Star Mage. Tell him that this is my judgment and ask him to listen to me this time."

"I guarantee that the mission is accomplished!"

The soldier rushed to the east coast to meet Foster with the most important order, and Hausman followed closely and ordered the entire army to go to the City of Black Gold in the opposite direction. The race was still the same race, but the finish line was changed by Hausman to the City of Black Gold.

In his opinion, the advantage now lies with him rather than Vega.

Because the Star Mage can guard the east but not the west.

With the West Coast being attacked from both sides, it is impossible for Vega not to abandon Elkia and return to defend the West Coast. If he is fast enough, it is even possible for him to take over the entire West Coast before Vega returns to defend, causing Vega to be defeated.
