Mage Veigar

Chapter 711 Long Distance Attack

Tully City.

After easily taking over the city of Tali, Vega did not stay here for too long, not even for twenty-four hours, and he made a long raid on the city of Saya in the evening of the same day.

Why are you in such a hurry?
Here we have to mention the degree to which Vega controls the enemy's psychology.

As intelligent creatures, the less time they have, the more panicked they are, and the more likely they are to make wrong decisions.

Since such a scene had been set up for Augustus to see, Vega certainly would not allow him enough time to consider whether the scene was true or false.

After all, fake is fake.

If the time drags on too long, it will be difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not find clues to prove that he is bluffing, and then use the same trick to outwit him. This is especially common in the military field.

So Vega knew that he had to race against time.

At this time, we must act as quickly as possible to force Augustus to make a decision whether to retreat or fight.

So did Augustus choose war or retreat?
Vega was 90% sure that once he got the news of his advance, he would immediately choose to retreat.

This is also a matter of course.

No one would choose to fight a war that is 100% certain to fail, and no one would choose to compete head-on with a divine wizard. Such behavior is definitely not heroic, but stupid.

"Report to the commander, we have been discovered by the enemy's scouts."

During the forced march, the head of the reconnaissance regiment reported the surrounding situation: "Excuse me, Commander, do you want to order our troops to eliminate all the enemy scouts? This is to prevent the enemy from getting our whereabouts immediately."

"Leave one to report back to them, and kill the rest."

After a pause, Vega said, "Act realistically. Don't let them think that we left a person alive on purpose to report back. I don't want these small details to ruin my efforts."

"I understand."

The leader of the reconnaissance team nodded, and began to order the Word Mage to cooperate with the Shadow Mage team to clean up the scouts.

----

Holy Dragon Kingdom, the third reconnaissance team.

Due to the special nature of the sub-dragon species, there are only "dragon envoys" in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and there are no magicians.

Therefore, in intelligence battles, the sub-dragon race will suffer losses every time, because the human race's word mages and shadow mages are always accurate in their capture and there is almost no possibility of failure. They rely more on flexible flying dragons for reconnaissance.

"Captain, this army is obviously heading for our main force."

The deputy captain was a young man. He looked around carefully and said, "We must report the situation here to the commander of the army, otherwise our Saya City will be caught by surprise by the enemy."

"Retreat, we should leave."

The captain said nervously: "Although the quality of the human army is weaker than ours, their advanced military force should not be underestimated. We should retreat immediately before they discover us."

"Yes, Captain."

Everyone responded immediately. As a reconnaissance unit, they knew very well how terrifying human anti-reconnaissance capabilities were.

But when everyone turned around, they found a group of people blocking their way.

"Where do you want to go, everyone?"

The middle-aged man in the lead had just finished speaking when he disappeared into thin air. Then the deputy captain felt a burning red color blinding his eyes. It turned out that the captain's head beside him had been moved, and arterial blood splashed on his face. "Everyone, flee in groups of three! You must bring the information back!"

The deputy captain was very calm. He waved his hand and all the team members fled in all directions.

The reconnaissance troop is of great importance and has always been the elite in the army. Therefore, this reconnaissance troop is composed entirely of low-level dragon users of levels 1-5, which is equivalent to low-level 1-5 professionals among humans, and is generally a little stronger.

But no matter how strong a professional is, he can never be a match for a shadow mage.

The Shadow Mage in Veigar's army also split up and chased after the scout. In order to save mana, he turned off the trickery and kept chasing the scout.

"Deputy Captain, I'm leaving the information to you."

The two soldiers looked at each other, then suddenly turned around to delay time so that the deputy captain could escape safely.

At this time, the Holy Dragon Army's flying dragon used for reconnaissance flew overhead and successfully attracted the attention of the shadow mages. Eventually, after killing two blocking soldiers, the shadow mages "lost" the deputy captain's trace.

"Escaped?"

A few hours later, the deputy captain finally stopped and muttered to himself with lingering fear: "Luckily, Feilong and Albisiel attracted the attention of the Jialan Army, otherwise I would never have been able to escape."

While being glad that he escaped.

The deputy captain didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his face and rushed towards the Saya City Command Center.

He knew too well how important this battle report was. If Saya City had not received the news of the Jialan Army's rapid march, it would have been very likely to be ambushed without any investigation, and would have suffered heavy losses.

The safety of the entire army is on his shoulders.

Driven by a great sense of mission, the deputy captain returned to Saya City within a few hours.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

He didn't care about being blamed by Augustus and knocked on the door directly: "Commander! Urgent news from the front line. This matter concerns the safety of the people in Saya City. Please pay attention to it."

creak-

Augustus opened the door before he could even wash himself. When he saw the scout with blood all over his face, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation: "What happened?"

"Jialan, the Jialan Empire is marching towards us and is expected to reach Saya City tomorrow."

The deputy captain said in horror: "The enemy attached great importance to anti-reconnaissance this time. My unit was completely wiped out by the enemy. I was the only one left. Because a reconnaissance flying dragon happened to fly over the sky, and two of my comrades desperately delayed it, we attracted the enemy's attention and escaped. At that time, even the reconnaissance flying dragon died under the siege of a large number of enemy war airships."

"What a Vega Saint Laurent."

Augustus's face changed drastically. "You are probably planning to take us by surprise and use the Divine Mage to flatten Saya City in one fell swoop and bury all our troops here. Your appetite is a bit too big."

Thinking of this, Augustus couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Previously, he predicted that Vega would first take a break in Tully City to let the whole army rest and recuperate before marching to Shaye City. However, Augustus did not expect that the previous slow movements were simply to confuse his sight. This was to catch him by surprise, which could be seen from the opponent's anti-reconnaissance strength.

"Retreat, you must retreat immediately."

Augustus realized that time was running out.

He no longer had time to wait for the various nations to identify the divine magic, nor did he have time to continue to "think twice before acting". He had to make the decision to withdraw his troops immediately, as a single step at night could lead to disastrous consequences.
