Mage Veigar

Chapter 712 Done
Time is tight.

When Augustus got the news, he realized he had no time to waste.

Now he has only two choices.

The first is to retreat with the army immediately. This is the best option. Anyway, his original purpose was just to test whether there is a divine wizard in the Jialan army. Now that this has been proven, he can naturally retreat.

But--

Augustus looked at the plan Foster gave him in his hand. He was hesitating whether he really wanted to let this seemingly reasonable plan gather dust and eventually be abandoned without any use.

So the second option is to trust Foster and use this plan to fight a good battle with Vega.

Anyway, now that he has received the news that Vega is preparing to launch a surprise attack on him, he can simply transfer the main force to other cities, leaving 100,000 soldiers behind to trick Vega into using divine magic, and take advantage of this vacuum period to defeat Vega.

The first option is conservative.

The second option is to take risks.

Whether to choose the former or the latter, Augustus made a decision in a very short time.

retreat!

Fighting a battle that you know you can't win is a choice only a fool would make. After Palitzer's analysis, he thought that although Foster's plan seemed reliable, Vega was obviously not a pushover, and if things went wrong, the entire army might be wiped out.

So he called a meeting as soon as possible.

"Everyone, we have received intelligence that the enemy is coming towards us."

Augustus looked around and said, "Now, you need to organize your troops as quickly as possible and then retreat immediately. Try to throw away unnecessary things. We don't have time to waste here."

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, where should we retreat to?"

An officer said doubtfully, "If we are only retreating to Saint Laurent City, I don't think it is necessary to mobilize so many troops. Given the distance between Saya City and Saint Laurent City, we can complete the retreat today."

"Did you make a mistake?"

Palitzer, who was sitting in the deputy seat, stood up and said, "When Army Commander Augustus said retreat, he didn't mean retreat to Saint Laurent City, but retreat from the east and return to our Saint Dragon City."

wow-

Everyone said in disbelief: "Commander, you are not kidding, are you? Retreating before fighting is more humiliating than defeat. It will also cause an immeasurable blow to the confidence of the entire army and even the whole country. Please think twice."

Palitzer didn't answer, he looked at Augustus.

Augustus sighed and nodded to Palitzer, indicating that he could make the information public.

"Everyone, I have something to officially disclose to you now."

Palitzer sighed and said, "We have obtained accurate intelligence and have confirmed that the Jialan Army has a divine mage. In addition to controlling a known auxiliary magic, this divine mage also has a range-type war magic, which is powerful enough to directly flatten half of a heavy city."

"Half, half of a heavy city?"

A staff officer swallowed and said, "Doesn't that mean that a single spell can turn the entire Saya City into ashes?"

"What a joke."

Another officer said, "There are countless of their people in the city. If they use the Divine Mage to turn the entire city into ashes, aren't they afraid of being condemned by the people of the country? This is a way to self-destruction."

"you are wrong."

Augustus said in a deep voice: "No one can survive under the attack of divine magic, and no survivors means no one can prove that it was the Galan Army who did it. With the cunning character of that kid, he might even throw dirty water on us who are already dead, and we will be the sinners."

"Retreat, retreat, I think we should retreat immediately." The last officer said in a panic, "There is no need to fight a war that is bound to be lost. Please give the order, Commander. We have time to hold a meeting here, so we might as well prepare for retreat early."

"Do you have any other comments?"

When the intelligence was made public, no one raised any objections because the only option now was to retreat.

"In that case, everyone go down and prepare."

As the extremely helpless voice fell, Augustus left the meeting room and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"The Holy Dragon Kingdom is over."

"That brat...beat the whole world."

"The giant has risen up in the East. Where should we go?"

"..."

Everyone's eyes were filled with reluctance.

This retreat without a fight not only represents the fall of the last force of the World Alliance, but also means that Vega has successfully fought against the entire world. It also means that in the future wars with the Jialan Empire, unless a miracle happens, the Jialan Empire will become their eternal nightmare, and no officer or soldier will be able to raise their heads in front of the Jialan Empire.

This retreat.

It is not a retreat to the safety of the country, but a retreat to the abyss.

It is easy to imagine what decision the Holy Dragon King would make when the news that the Jialan Empire possessed a divine wizard who controlled two magics reached his ears. The decision would undoubtedly be - retreat!

Retreat to their Dragon Islands.

With great reluctance, the Holy Dragon Army carried out the retreat plan before Vega arrived at Saya City.

They gave up the city of Saya, the city of Saint Laurent, the entire Saint Laurent defense system, and even the entire east coast, and moved towards their country. They once again chose to escape without fighting.

All in one go.

Vega led his army and stood in front of the gate of Saint Laurent City again.

Without losing a single soldier, and only by bluffing, Vega finally took back the territory.

This victory might seem to others to be largely due to luck, because if the Holy Dragon Nation dared to resist with all its strength just once, Vega would expose the fact that it is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

But unfortunately, the Holy Dragon Kingdom definitely does not have this courage.

Because the word "Vega" was too dazzling, so dazzling that no one dared to look directly at it.

If someone else was in charge of this war, the Holy Dragon Nation might have really fought a direct battle, but if it was Vega, the war would have ended before it even started...

Therefore, victory in the war became a matter of course.

And then Vega can finally legitimately announce the rise of the Galan Empire and the birth of the new king of the East in Saint Laurent.

At the same time, it also lets the whole world know that they don’t have much time left. You can either choose to fight to the end, or choose to kneel down and surrender, or... just flee!

What Vega is looking forward to the most right now is——

The dragons were scared back overseas, and he continued to take over the entire territory of the original kingdom without any soldiers.
