Mage Veigar

Chapter 702 Eastern Expedition
City of Dragons.

The Holy Dragon King received Augustus's request to fight.

Originally, the Holy Dragon King could not understand this request.

Because the most "reliable" ally, the Nolan Empire, has withdrawn its troops, and Vega is coming from the west coast with great momentum. In this situation, although it cannot be said that there is no chance of victory, the chance is actually very slim.

After all, it was Vega who was commanding this war.

What's more, there are rumors outside that the Jialan Empire possesses the Divine Mage, a war machine that makes him shudder. On the other hand, the only trump card of their Holy Dragon Kingdom is the Bone Dragon, which is between the Divine Mage and the Holy Mage.

the most important is……

This disposable trump card has been used by Augustus.

It was not until this moment that the Holy Dragon King realized that even though the Jialan Continent had entered the Dharma Ending Age, it was still far more terrifying than he had imagined. It was far from being able to do whatever it wanted just by relying on being the descendant of the dragon race and a trump card.

Therefore, in his opinion, temporarily withdrawing troops was the wisest option.

However, Augustus stated clearly in his request that his goal was not to win, but just to test and see whether there really was a divine wizard in the Galan Empire.

This information is too critical for the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

If he determined that there really was a divine wizard in the Jialan Empire, then he might consider taking his people and army back to the Dragon Islands deep in the Dragon Sea and continue to wait for the arrival of the next era.

Anyway, they had already obtained the return route through Aiden Gary.

Apart from their own sub-dragon species, the only one who knew about this route was Aiden Gary. When the time came to leave the continent, they only had to send a Holy Dragon Messenger to kill Aiden Gary, and they could continue to hide in the depths of the fog of the Dragon Sea as before.

If Augustus finds out that there are no divine magicians in the Jialan Empire...

Then they can make this information public to the entire continent. By then, they won't even have to take action in the Holy Dragon Nation. The angry Western countries and empires will come back and make Vega pay the price he deserves.

Think before and after.

The Holy Dragon King finally agreed with Augustus' decision.

The Holy Dragon Nation was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. This test mission must and can only be completed by them. By the time Vega reaches their country, it will be too late to conduct such a test. Because being able to launch an invasion war means that Vega's wings are already very full. Even without a divine mage, it is enough to fight against a group of big countries.

With the support of the Holy Dragon King.

Augustus finally let go and used the knife given by Foster to set up a defense line.

First you need to know.

Foster's plan was not to test whether the enemy had a divine mage, but to restrain the divine mage's performance.

Therefore, this plan mainly relied on tug-of-war and guerrilla warfare, while also proposing the establishment of multiple defense lines and ambushes.

in short.

According to this plan, Augustus needs to break up the troops into small pieces so that Vega cannot figure out where his main force is, and then force Vega to use divine magic in advance. Everything is mainly to force Vega to use divine magic.

Therefore, the defense line is divided into three lines.

The first line of defense is centered on Shaye City and supported by the port city of Tali City.

There are 100,000 vanguard troops on this line of defense.

Augustus's requirement for the 100,000 vanguard troops was to mainly test the enemy and fight while retreating.

It would be best if these 100,000 vanguard troops could force out Vega's Divine Mage. If they couldn't, they would lead Vega into the second line of defense - the Saint Roland defense system. They would use the four satellite cities of Shenghui, Saya, etc. to disguise the location of their main force.

This is to induce Vega to use divine magic in one of the places. Taking advantage of this gap, the Saint Roland defense system and the extremely high support speed of the dragon species are used to completely defeat Vega during the magic vacuum period of the divine mage.

If the plan was just this, Augustus would not dare to take this gamble.

What really made Augustus think that this plan was feasible and willing to give it a try was that this plan not only had a very unique way to fight against the Divine Mage and the Galan Army, but was also a unique way to ensure the safe retreat of the army.

The last item of the plan is the retreat plan.

Using Saint Laurent City as a barrier and less than 50,000 soldiers to block the enemy with the concept of street fighting, they can delay the enemy for a considerable period of time. In addition, the sub-dragon species itself has six hours of magic defense, which is enough for the main force to retreat safely.

In other words.

Even if they were unable to defeat Veigar, and unable to test whether there was a divine mage in Veigar, the most they would lose would be about 5 to 10 soldiers, and the morale of the entire army would be hit to a certain extent.

Besides.

They really have nothing to lose.

By paying some price, at the very least they could find out Vega's background, but at the most, what if they defeated Vega?

"Cough cough cough-"

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became. It seemed as if he could see the goddess of victory waving at him, so Augustus quickly coughed to wake himself up.

As Augustus came back to his senses from his sweet dream, the soldiers brought him news.

"Report to the legion commander."

The soldiers sent a message about Vega: "The enemy has landed at the port of Talli. The exact number cannot be detected, but the preliminary estimate is no less than 300,000. At the same time, three air corps have been detected to be guarding from above."

"finally come."

Augustus took a deep breath and said, "Send a message to the vanguard army to hold on to Tully City and do our best to delay the enemy's attack. It would be best if we could force the enemy's divine wizard to use magic, but we are not allowed to blindly resist. If we are sure that we cannot stop the enemy, we should immediately retreat to Shaye City and join the main force."

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander."

The soldiers rushed to the front line with Augustus' orders.

At this time, Vega didn't know that Augustus had inherited Foster's "sword" and was ready to test his strength here.

The first thing he did after landing was to lead his troops towards the city of Tully, which was the gateway to the east coast. Taking that medium-sized city would mean that he could advance the front line or retreat back to the west coast. It was a place that military strategists must fight for.

And in Vega's opinion.

Given Augustus's character, it would be absolutely impossible to deploy heavy troops in Tully City and engage in a decisive battle with him directly, because without knowing whether he actually possesses a divine wizard, directly engaging in a decisive battle would be the most unwise decision.

What if there really is divine magic?

Didn't he just happen to catch them all at once?

Therefore, it was easy for Vega to conclude that the city of Tully had about 5 to 10 guards, mainly to test his strength. As long as he fought aggressively enough, this army would definitely retreat immediately.

If we could keep these 100,000 soldiers here.

It is even possible that Augustus was frightened so much that he fled back home.
