Mage Veigar

Chapter 710 Race against time
Shaye City.

The main force of the Holy Dragon Army is stationed here.

According to the original plan, Palitzer would fight with Vega in the city of Tali and try his best to force out the divine wizard of the Galan Empire. If he could not complete this task, then the battle line would be dragged to the city of Saya.

There is the Saint Laurent defense system.

Without the help of the Divine Mage, Vega would never be able to break through the route.

Therefore, if Veigar wanted to take down the defense system including Saint Laurent City, he had absolutely no other choice but to use the Divine Mage. If at the critical moment when he could not make any progress, Veigar still did not use the Divine Mage to achieve his strategic goal, then one thing could be determined with 100% certainty -

There are no divine mages in the Jialan Empire.

This plan is undoubtedly perfect. Even if there is a divine mage in Vega, they can sacrifice tens of thousands of people and use the complex Saint Laurent defense system to retreat safely, or even take down Vega during the vacuum period of the divine mage.

But now that the plan has actually been implemented, a harmless flaw has occurred.

The fault was none other than the vanguard army led by Palitzer.

As a commander, he did not hide his coordinates during the war, but ran to the front line and was captured by the enemy. After finally escaping, he did not think about revenge, but retreated with his army without a fight.

The Holy Dragon Army had lost all face at the hands of the man in front of them.

Augustus glared at Palitzer and said, "You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I will report your situation to His Majesty. Even if you can escape from that little devil, you will not be able to escape His Majesty's questioning."

"I certainly have my reasons for retreating."

Palitzer said calmly, "Because I have confirmed that the enemy does have a divine mage, and this divine mage not only knows one magic as rumored by the outside world, but he is also practicing another type of range-based war magic."

"Why should I trust you?"

Augustus stood up, looked down at Palitzer and said, "You haven't even fought with the enemy. How dare you make such a conclusion without any evidence? If you want to excuse your cowardice, please try another way."

"Augustus, you and I have known each other for more than thirty years."

Palitzer stared at Augustus and said, "Do you think I, Palitzer, am someone who talks nonsense or a coward who doesn't even have the courage to fight the enemy?"

"This……"

Augustus shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether you are talking nonsense, but when it comes to courage, you are undoubtedly the best in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. If a war really breaks out and the Holy Dragon Kingdom needs you, it is not impossible for you to sacrifice your life for His Majesty. And you have never lied or shirked responsibility on military matters..."

Talking and talking.

Augustus' eyes widened as he asked, "Could it be that... you came into contact with the enemy's divine wizard while you were captured? But this alone does not mean that the enemy really has a divine wizard. Maybe that kid is using some trick to deceive you?"

"You are wrong. I have not seen the enemy's divine mage."

Palitzer took two steps closer to Augustus and said, "But I saw traces of spells left by the divine wizard who was experimenting with new magic."

While talking.

Palitzer took out a video crystal.

Since every officer was equipped with a piece of this cheap crystal to record the actual situation of the war, after killing the major general of the Galan Army and stripping him of his uniform, Palitzer accidentally discovered this thing and happened to record the scene he saw.

"This is……"

As time went on, Augustus became more and more frightened.

Mountains collapsed one after another, rivers were blocked one after another, this scene was like half of hell, I think only divine magic can do it. Divine magicians may fake it, but this divine magic cannot be faked.

Therefore, after seeing this scene, Augustus began to believe it without a doubt. What they didn't know was that this was a scene that Vega had the entire magic army spend five days to set up. After all, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and no one in this world understands divine magic. As long as the scene looks terrifying, it is likely to get away with it.

Vega's judgment was undoubtedly correct.

Except for the last time when Veigar used Isha to perform divine magic, no force has understood the secret of divine magic so far, and of course, it is impossible to determine whether the scene in the recording crystal is true.

The only way to tell is probably to look at the destructive power.

"Augustus, shall we retreat?"

Seeing Augustus remained silent for a long time, Palitzer could not help but remind him, "This divine wizard should never be underestimated. This spell is enough to turn the entire Saya City into ashes. Not to mention that we only have 50 people, even if we doubled our number, we would not be able to stop that spell."

"No, that's beyond the scope of magic."

Palitzer said in fear: "That was a miracle, a true miracle!"

"Are you going to retreat without a fight again?"

Augustus's face looked a little grim. "If we continue to retreat without a fight, it will only make the enemy's army more motivated. By the time they recover and start a war of aggression, I'm afraid our army won't even have the courage to fight."

"If...I mean if..."

Augustus said uncertainly: "If we force the Divine Mage to use his magic, and take advantage of the Divine Mage entering the vacuum period, can we seize this time difference and annihilate the Galan Army in one fell swoop?"

"Are you still thinking about that plan?"

Palitzer said angrily: "If the enemy's commander is an ordinary person, this plan may be feasible, but you need to know that the commander of the Divine Mage is known as the number one general."

Both force and intelligence are absolute powers.

Sufficient military force can suppress everything, and absolute intelligence can restrain military force. The empire's outstanding generals once easily imprisoned the strongest man like Okasos within the dynasty and turned him into a tool to defend the country.

The same reason.

As long as the plan is used properly, the Divine Mage is not without weaknesses. A Divine Mage with exhausted mental and magical power is at best a stronger professional, and it is easy to kill him.

If I had to describe it.

It probably means that even if a child holds a nuclear explosion button in his hand, adults have countless ways to trick it back from the child.

but.

Just like the most powerful swordsman got a peerless sword, when the strongest force is controlled by Vega, who has the most talent for war, it is completely different from the previous situation. This is what really gives Augustus a headache.

"Let me think about it again."

Augustus sighed and said, "The enemy has just taken over Tully City, so they probably won't attack us so soon. During this time, I will send this crystal to the major forces on the continent and use their methods to infer the specific information of this divine mage. After we get the specific information, we can decide whether to leave or stay."

Augustus was cautious.

Although he had confirmed that Veigar had a 100% chance of possessing a Divine Mage, he had no intention of retreating until he got the exact number. He planned to use the teams from various countries to identify the images and deduce the specific information about the Divine Mage.

And Vega obviously expected this.

He did not seem to want to give Augustus time to hesitate. He changed the slow pattern of attacking Tully City. As soon as he took Tully City, he ordered an overnight march and a long-distance attack on Shaye City.
