Mage Veigar

Chapter 696 Anger arises from the heart

In the eastern part of the empire, Erkia.

This eastern gateway city has been occupied by Vega. With this city, it means that they can attack another important city in the east - Shelantu City.

If the Empire loses the city of Shelantu again.

It is foreseeable that the empire will fall into panic.

After all, there are still rebels in the northwest approaching the Immortal City. Although their troops are sufficient to fight on two fronts and the soldiers can determine the direction of the war to a certain extent, many generals understand that quantity is only one of the factors that determine victory, not the decisive factor for victory.

Once Veigar is released into the middle.

No one can guarantee that Veigar can directly capture the Imperial City with his ability.

Even if the enemy cannot capture the Immortal City, it will still be a fatal problem for the now precarious empire.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Empire to sit idly by and do nothing about Vega.

There are now 200,000 defenders stationed in Shelantu City, and the central part of the empire may also organize reinforcements to rush to Shelantu. It will be very difficult for Vega to capture Shelantu City, but it is not impossible.

The reason is very simple.

All the main forces in the East are in Hausmann's hands.

However, Hausmann's entire army has surrendered. The 200,000 defenders of Shelantu City are not elite troops, and they even have an aviation corps. Under this premise, Vega has an absolute advantage.

Reinforcements?

There may be reinforcements from the central part of the empire, and there may be a lot of them. After all, the empire has terrifyingly large numbers of troops.

But no matter how large the army is, the total number of air forces is limited.

The total amount of the empire's air force is not matched by the army, and the army is not as fast as Vega in the east from the central region, which is far away from the mountains. And because Vega also has an air force, the empire has to give up the idea of ​​airlifting soldiers through civilian routes. In this case, by the time they reach the east, I'm afraid that the city of Shelantu has fallen.

After resting for seven days, Vega led his troops to the city of Shelantu.

After arriving at the city of Shelantu, Vega did not attack immediately.

With 200,000 defenders defending the city, if we attack by force, there will be no problem in taking the city, but there will inevitably be heavy losses.

Furthermore, there was no news of troops from the central part of the empire coming to support, so Vega was not in a hurry to launch an attack. The longer the time dragged on, the more panicked the enemy would become, and the more advantageous it would be for him.

of course.

Vega was not worried that the commander of Shelantu City would play any tricks.

Due to Hausman's strong desire for control, it is impossible for him to place a person who is stronger than him or equal to him in the east to cause trouble for him. So according to the information obtained by Vega, the commander of Shelantu City is a major general named Voscoro Darnay.

This officer's combat record was mediocre, and he was a conservative man with good execution capabilities.

If Vega guessed correctly.

He's probably shivering by now.

And everything happened just as Vega expected.

Major General Voscoro held his head in pain in his office, his eyes filled with fear.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is that Hausman's 500,000 main forces were defeated, and Elkia fell into Vega's hands. Vega's next target is the city of Shelantu, which has now surrounded them. Who is Vega?

In the military field, no one would be unaware of this god-like existence.

In his opinion, if one were to describe Vega in one sentence, "invincible and unstoppable" would be the most appropriate.

The continent's number one general, a devil who plays with people's hearts, an invincible god of war... countless daunting titles were bestowed upon that man, but few people stood up to object, and most people believed that these titles could not describe his terror.

even.

Some people call Vega a terrifying existence who can support an entire country by himself.

Because looking back, when Vega was in the Empire, the Kingdom attacked with great force but returned empty-handed; when Vega was in the Dynasty, the Holy Dynasty fought back and rose to become the first military power on the continent in a few years; now Vega is leading the Galan Empire, and this country has just appeared in front of everyone, but it has repelled the 260 million coalition forces of the Western countries, scaring them into regarding the Eastern land as hell.

Now he has to become an enemy of such an existence!

Although in terms of seniority, five Veigas cannot compare to him, he has been in the army for more than thirty years.

But the sad thing is that in terms of battle record, even a hundred of him cannot catch up with Vega.

He had never fought in any decent war. The only miraculous battle that allowed him to be promoted to major general was the one in the Northwest Hundred Tribes War 5 years ago. He used troops to advance and retreat twice, and wiped out soldiers of the Hundred Tribes.

But what kind of existence is the Hundred Races Tribe?
They were simply a mob.

What kind of existence is the 300,000 troops that Vega is leading now? It is the army of God that has risen strongly by annihilating more than one million soldiers in the upper reaches of the west coast with zero casualties.

For such an existence, the one who can be an opponent should not be a small major general like him, but a five-star general in the empire, or at least a lieutenant general.

"You can't win. You absolutely can't win."

Vasco d'Arc kept muttering to himself.

A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow. If he didn't know about Vega's achievements or who he was, he might still have the courage to fight. But now that he knows everything, how can he calm down and think about strategy?

This is not asking him to participate in the war, this is asking him to kill gods!

If it were just this one reason, it would not have frightened Voscoro Darnay so much that he could not maintain a calm mind. At the very least, he was still a major general, and for a general, keeping calm was the most basic quality even when facing a powerful enemy.

So it was the second reason that was destroying his nerves.

He received a letter from the imperial capital.

The letter told him that the central empire was not prepared to send reinforcements to the east, and granted him the highest command authority in the east, asking him to find a way to repel Vega on his own and not to retreat without authorization.

What does this letter mean?
The meaning couldn't be more obvious. The Empire felt that before the reinforcements arrived at Shelantu, Vega might have already won. Therefore, rather than risking the reinforcements being easily dealt with by Vega and sending huge energy and resources to the east, it would be better to abandon Shelantu and set up a defense line outside the central part of the Empire, which would require sacrificing the defenders of Shelantu to buy time.

There is an army of tigers and wolves ahead.

There was no reinforcement and no way to retreat.

This is not asking him to defend the city, but asking him to wait for death.

The enormous pressure from Vega and the critical hit from his teammates directly caused Voscoro Darnay to collapse.

If this guy is forced into a desperate situation, he will do anything.

There is a saying that anger comes from the heart, and evil comes from the courage. For the first time, Voscoro Darnay, who has always been extremely loyal to the empire, obedient to his superiors, and behaved in a law-abiding manner, had a bold idea -
