Mage Veigar

Chapter 746: Success Countless Bones

"The whole army retreats!"

Foster issued orders to the entire army.

After this order was issued, the imperial army rushed to the other side of the Tank River like a tide.

But when they just arrived at the Tank Bridge, they heard a buzzing sound coming from far away. A huge black shadow blocked the sun and shrouded the entire army in a huge haze.

"It's a war airship! It's the rebels' war airship!"

"Air raid! It's an air raid! Get down!"

The sound spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the marching army was so frightened that they fell to the ground.

But Foster pushed aside the guards, came to the front, raised the telescope and looked towards the sky. This sight made him feel scared and his face lost all color.

There is no time to be calm and composed.

Foster grabbed the adjutant by the collar and said triumphantly, "Quick! Send a signal quickly and have the four air forces stop the enemy's war airship formation at all costs. Never let them get close to the Tank Bridge. Remember my words! No matter the cost!"

bang bang bang-

The flare rose into the air.

The aviation formation that was covering the retreat of the entire army saw the signal from the command center in the rear at the first sight.

Four airships immediately formed a square formation, blocking the rebels' path. When the rebels' airships came into sight, the first round of air battle broke out.

Boom boom boom——

The elements are raging and fireworks are flying.

The most intense air battle in history broke out over the city of war.

The rebels advanced fearlessly, trying to break through the defense line and blow up the Tank Bridge at all costs. The Imperial Army knew that the Tank Bridge was the lifeline of their retreat. Once destroyed, it would take five days to rebuild it, so they also fought to the death.

Neither side has a retreat.

After an hour of intense battle, the Imperial Army finally wiped out the remaining half of the rebel army's warship formation at the cost of 2/3 of its warship formation. Now the rebel army had no anti-aircraft force, and the Imperial Army also saved the Tank Bridge.

This battle report was immediately transmitted to the rebel headquarters.

"General, the air force has been completely destroyed. Shall we start plan number two?"

"Start Plan Two immediately. We must keep the Imperial Army inside the city for seven days."

Hausman did not seem surprised by the defeat of the Air Force, and immediately ordered the launch of Plan No. 2.

Plan No. 2 was not an appetizer like Plan No. 1. The next two were the main courses of blood and fire. The scattered troops gathered like ants and set up multiple lines of defense on the road of the imperial army. There were more than 20 lines of defense, some large and some small.

"Soldiers, our war has begun, and it's time for revenge!"

The commander on the first line of defense waved his hand, and the fire magicians were released, directly igniting the houses on both sides. The raging fire hindered the advance of the imperial army.

The fire mages had just taken a break, and the earth mages who were used to defend had their first highlight moment.

Thick earth walls rose from the flat and open streets, turning the City of War into a huge maze with no exit. All the wind mages in the city gave up assisting the fire mages and gathered together to cast spells.

The wind howled.

Thick clouds began to gather.

Under the influence of the wind mage, the sunlight disappeared and thick fog began to spread.

If you look down from a high altitude, the entire war city becomes a real maze.

The Imperial Army became adventurers trapped in a maze, trying every means to get out of the city, while the rebels became monsters in the maze, trying every means to stop the Imperial Army's advance. This 'maze game' is limited to seven days.

Within seven days.

If the Imperial Army can escape, then the Imperial Army wins, and if the rebels can hold off the Imperial Army for seven days, then the rebels will finally win. In addition, the rules of this game are not set by the Imperial Army, but by the rebels.

However, the Imperial Army was obviously not the type to follow the rules. Under Foster's command, the Imperial Army, with its large number of soldiers and generals, formed a spearhead force.

The fire mages, earth mages, and wind mages all exerted their strength at the same time. Under the guidance of the Word Spirit Mage, they rushed through this large maze and headed towards the city gate in a straight line.

The battle lasted for four days and four nights.

The magnificent and huge war city was reduced to ruins in this war.

The raging fire burned the houses, the bluestone roads with a long history were cracked into pieces, blood dyed every inch of the land of the city of war red, and the wailing of elements and the crying of soldiers became the main theme of this city.

The guerrilla army has lost more than 200,000 lives.

The imperial army also suffered more than 70,000 casualties.

Finally, the imperial army escaped from the city of war at the cost of 100,000 lives. Today is only the fifth day, and there are still two days left until the deadline. These two days are enough for them to put some distance between themselves and the rebels.

So once the Imperial Army retreats, the war game is won by the Rebels?

Do not!
There are no winners in this war.

Although the rebels defended the city of war and successfully forced the imperial army to withdraw to the central part, and it is possible that they will get the next round of funding from Western countries, they have been seriously injured and have lost almost all of their combat effectiveness.

"Pity."

Hausman watched the Imperial Army go away and let out a long sigh.

If the 300,000 main forces had not been sacrificed by the rebel leaders, it would have been more than enough to delay the war for another ten days. By then, although the rebels would have lost their main forces, the empire would have been completely wiped out.

This kind of transaction is the one that does not suffer a loss.

Now, although the imperial army was repelled, the rebels, as the victors, were the ones who suffered the greatest losses in the end.

Can the rebels really accept such a frustrating victory?

Turn your attention to the rebels.

All the civilians in the war city rushed out of the air-raid shelters, raising their arms and shouting the word "victory".

Hausman muttered to himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This kind of victory is humiliating for me as a commander, but for the rebels, it may really be a great victory."

Except for the last time he lost to Vega.

This was the most frustrating victory Hausman had ever achieved in his life.

Although someone has already taken the main responsibility, his biggest regret in this battle is that he failed to keep Foster.

Following the victory of the rebels, Vega, Coverdale and others returned to the City of War a day later.

Just like the rebels in the city, the troops that attacked the rear were in an equally miserable state.

Of the total eight thousand people, only less than two hundred high-level fighters returned alive, and as for the ordinary soldiers, there was not a single one.

Now we can look at it together.

Compared with the defeated Imperial Army, the Imperial Army's losses in this battle were less than 15, not even to the extent of serious damage.

But no matter what, this battle was a happy ending for everyone.

The imperial army retreated safely, which was what they wanted to see.

The rebels repelled the imperial army and won a chance to catch their breath, which was what they wanted to see.

Vega saved the rebels and could continue to use them to contain the Imperial Army, which was what he wanted to see.

Hausman proved his loyalty to Vega in this way, which was also what he wanted to see most.

So it really is a happy ending.

It's just a happy ending, but lying underneath are piles of bones that no one cares about.
