Mage Veigar

Chapter 70 Easily Win
Gloomy sky.

Howling cold wind.

As it was getting dark, the 5th Battalion headed towards the Wang Guojun sentry tower K97.

This is the first mission objective.

Originally according to the plan, the attack could be postponed to the next day, but speed is of the essence and the longer the night, the more trouble there would be. The commander of the 5th Battalion, Rons, finally made the decision to launch an attack directly on the first target.

Lalba's company acted as the vanguard.

More than 200 of Sieglin's men served as the central army, while Vega's company was only responsible for flank defense. The protagonist of this battle was not Vega's 232nd Company, but the two companies of the 5th Battalion, totaling 400 soldiers.

Da da da--

This troop marched in a fairly orderly pace towards the sentry tower, but when it was still more than 2,000 meters away from the sentry tower, it was discovered by the people of the United Kingdom, because the kingdom's army also had some patrol teams.

The Imperial Army did not stop.

Even though the soldiers were out of breath, Ron ordered them to speed up the march.

The sentry tower is already in sight.

If the martial law level was followed as usual, they would probably immediately retreat when seeing the Imperial Army's 500-strong guerrilla force. However, that was not the case today. It was visibly visible that the Royal Army had already lined up to meet the enemy.

The kingdom's golden lion flag fluttered in the wind.

Blocking the road was a troop of the United Kingdom. There were about 200 of them, less than half the number of the guerrilla force, but they were wearing standard combat uniforms and holding fine steel spears that only the core troops of the Kingdom's army could hold.

Let’s not talk about the equipment on your body.

Just from the energy, spirit, and energy of the other troops, it can be seen that this is a strong core force, or even an elite force. Compared with this unit, the combat effectiveness of all the soldiers in the 5th Battalion is simply a world apart.

Except for the soldier factor.

Standing at the front of the line was a young lieutenant wearing the uniform of the Kingdom Army and carrying a saber on his waist. There was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking the Imperial Army's overestimation of its own capabilities.

The two armies stopped and faced each other from a distance.

Vega took this opportunity to look the lieutenant of the Kingdom Army up and down.

Eyes facing each other.

Vega was shocked. He found that he couldn't see the strength of the Royal Army officer in front of him at all.

You know, he is a level 4 apprentice. With his current strength, if he can't see the opponent's strength clearly, then it is certain that the opponent has at least the strength of a level 5 apprentice.

This battle is likely to be disastrous.

Vega didn't expect to be so lucky as to encounter such a powerful garrison right at the start.

He turned his attention to the commander of the 5th Battalion and the two company commanders.

At this time, any officer with a little bit of intelligence would give the order to retreat.

After all, this profession requires close combat. As long as the entire imperial army retreats, even if some soldiers are lost, they as officers will definitely not suffer any harm.

Even for a Level 5 apprentice, it is not easy to take the head of a general in the midst of a chaotic army.

But the order from the 5th Battalion Commander was beyond his expectations.

The messenger stood on a high place and blew the horn of attack.

The order was... to attack, not to retreat? The entire army launched an attack on the 200-strong force of the Kingdom Army. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the Imperial Army had traveled a long way, while the core troops of the Kingdom Army were waiting for the opportunity to tire themselves out. Even a fool could tell who was stronger and who was weaker.

Is the person who gave this order out of his mind?
This was not as simple as water ingress. Vega even suspected that the commander of the 5th Battalion was actually a spy for the Royal Army, otherwise why would he issue such a life-threatening order.

Vega took two steps at a time and came to the front of the 5th Battalion Commander.

He held the dagger in his hand and asked in an angry tone, "Captain Roanes, I need an explanation."

"Explain? What explanation?"

There was some confusion in Reuns' eyes, and the two company commanders beside him also looked at Vega with puzzlement. They didn't understand why Vega was so angry, and what was wrong with the order to attack.

"Can't you see clearly the strength of the Kingdom Army?"

Vega pointed at the two armies that were about to collide with him and said, "That's the core force, the leading officers, and even the Level 5 trainee professionals. This April Fool's Day joke-like attack order is purely a way to seek death!"

"Lieutenant Vega, please be patient."

The 5th Battalion Commander, Roans, smiled and said, "We have plenty of experience in fighting the Kingdom Army. Although we were surprised that our first target was the backbone of the Kingdom Army, and there was even a Level 5 trainee among them, it doesn't matter. You just need to wait for good news."

Where does this confidence come from?
Vega really wanted to use the dagger in his hand to pry open Reunion's head and see how such a person could become an officer of a battalion-level unit. Doesn't the personnel department of the 2nd Brigade conduct any assessment when selecting officers?
There is no use in talking more.

Vega has already been secretly on guard. Once an irreversible situation occurs, he will immediately order a retreat and lead the escape. As for whether his subordinates can escape with him, it will all be left to fate.

But he was not worried about his life being in danger.

Because the two armies were fighting, if they were determined to escape, it would be difficult for the other side to defeat the countless soldiers and kill them even if they had a level 5 trainee professional.

Professionals are not magicians.

They just use magic power to greatly enhance their own attack and defense capabilities, but they have not yet transcended the scope of human beings like magicians. If he runs into a magician, there is no need to run away.

Kill kill kill.

The Imperial Army crashed into the Royal Army's iron wall like a flood.

Wow.

Like the waves stirred up by the tide, the sound of iron colliding became the only melody between heaven and earth.

Every soldier forgot about fatigue, and there was only bloodthirst in their eyes, because if they wanted to survive, they had to kill all the enemies and win the battle.

In Vega's opinion.

This will be an extremely brutal battle.

Therefore, he locked his sights on the Level 5 apprentice, watching his every move at all times. As long as the other party reached the warning distance, he would immediately turn around and retreat.

Although disobeying orders from superiors would inevitably be exposed afterwards, compared with life, the empire's military regulations and honor were worthless, and he had no interest in sacrificing his life for the empire.

Besides, his Imperial Wings were enough to absolve him of this crime; at most his reputation in the military would decline.

This was Vega's original idea.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectations.

It was thought that the extremely brutal war did not happen, and it had not even reached its climax. However, the Kingdom Army actually blew the horn of retreat at this time, and the level 5 trainee also retreated with the army.

Why is that?
Vega's brain froze. If the order of the 5th Battalion Commander had exceeded the limit of stupidity, then it now seemed that the IQ of the Kingdom Army Commander had probably exceeded the lower limit of human beings.
