Mage Veigar

Chapter 75 Lure the enemy deeper
"Everything for the glory of the empire!"

In the final battle, the soldiers burst out with high morale and rushed towards the watchtower.

If everything went as Rons expected, then it can be foreseen that the sentry tower was empty, and they only needed to add fuel to the fire of the Kingdom Army's sentry tower, and they could go home, and the military merit of this mission would be successfully pocketed.

This is the guerrilla mission.

This was also the mission that attracted many cannon fodder troops before the martial law.

This kind of task is not available all the time. If you are not favored by your superiors, it is impossible to get such a task.

Of course, it is a different matter during this period of martial law.

But it doesn't matter now, this is the last step, as long as I complete this last step...

Vega and his soldiers followed behind the main force.

At this last step, even though he had many doubts in his mind, there was no need to delve into them, because even he himself felt that he had been a little nervous recently and seemed to be too cautious.

After all, it was just his first time participating in a guerrilla mission.

In terms of his understanding of the mission, he is naturally no match for Rhodes, so it is understandable that he was overly nervous and made a fool of himself.

Although he found countless excuses to persuade himself not to let his mind wander, when he was about to reach the sentry tower, Vega's heart began to rise again.

Because this goal is so obvious.

Based on the patterns of the previous attacks, as long as the commander of the Kingdom Army used his brain a little, he could guess with 100% certainty that the Imperial Army was selecting targets based on the principle of proximity, and the final target would definitely be chosen here.

It is 1 km away from the sentry tower.

Vega paused here, because if he went any further, he would reach the warning distance.

There are only two ways to get through this pass: either go forward or go back.

Stepping within a thousand meters means that the retreat route has disappeared. If the kingdom’s army blocks the retreat route, they will be unable to escape.

"Lieutenant Vega?"

Rohns looked back at Vega and said, "Victory is just around the corner. If we destroy this last mission target, we can return to the group. Are you still suspicious at this time?"

Sieglin came from behind.

He nodded to Vega and said, "Trust the battalion commander. You won't be wrong."

Vega's footsteps finally stepped within a thousand meters.

at this point.

Vega had no other choice. After all, he couldn't abandon the main force and stand alone a thousand meters away.

Keep going.

Veigar arrived at the fifth sentry tower J31.

J31 is no different from the previous four watchtowers. If you have to say something, it is too quiet. It is so quiet that there is no sound except the rustling of the cold wind and the footsteps of the army.

boom.

With a loud bang, the door of the sentry tower was kicked open by the vanguard army.

Everything was just as Rons had expected, the place was already deserted.

Vega heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that the commander of the Kingdom Army really had no intention of engaging them head-on, but chose to sacrifice property but not manpower and allow them to destroy the sentry tower.

"Report."

A soldier came to the commander of the 5th Battalion and said, "We have confirmed that there is no one in the sentry tower. The Royal Army has evacuated."

"Thank you for your hard work, soldier."

The 5th Battalion Commander, Roans, nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the two company commanders and Vega, "If there are no problems, we will go in and take a look, and then we can hurry back to the regiment later."

Vega and the other two followed Reigns in.

After a round of inspection, Vega discovered that the interior of the sentry tower was neatly arranged. Apart from some daily necessities, there were basically no uniforms and weapons hastily left behind by the Kingdom Army.

It can be seen from here.

The army here noticed the arrival of the guerrilla force from outside the alert distance, so they had enough time to pack up and leave, instead of retreating hastily like the fourth sentry tower before, without even having time to put out the cooking fire.

“Wait!” Vega’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The troops here actually had time to pack up and leave.

That means the commander of the Kingdom Army had really guessed that they were going to attack here, and therefore issued the order in advance...

Since we have already anticipated the enemy's moves.

Is the order really as simple as retreating?

----

On the commanding heights.

A middle-aged man slowly put down the telescope.

His military rank is captain and his position is battalion commander. Behind him stands a company of about 200 people, one of whom is a lieutenant and is also a level five trainee.

"Captain, everything is just as you expected."

Goss Leviathan took a step forward and looked at his direct superior with admiration.

It was this direct superior who, when he was about to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Imperial Army, issued an order that went beyond the limits of human intelligence - retreat.

This order made Goss Leviathan very angry at the time.

The cooked duck flew away, and the culprit was his own immediate superior. Naturally, he was furious.

But now, he admired his superior from the bottom of his heart.

“Chasing two rabbits will catch none.”

This is what his battalion commander once said when facing his questioning.

The meaning of this sentence is obvious. It is absolutely impossible to both keep the watchtower and annihilate the imperial army. Therefore, he set up this ambush and prepared to wipe out the imperial army in one fell swoop.

What is a catch-all.

Catch them all in one swoop means not letting anyone go, including the three professionals of the Imperial Army.

From beginning to end.

The Kingdom Army's target was not the guerrilla force of more than 500 people, because they knew that the Imperial Army had more soldiers and generals, and if they wanted to shake the foundation of the Imperial Army, they had to hunt down a large number of professionals.

before this.

The Kingdom once dispatched a team of mages to catch the Imperial Army off guard, causing the Imperial Army to lose a large number of professionals.

Du Sville, the commander of the F297 Battalion of the Royal Army, is an ambitious man.

He knew that merely destroying a guerrilla force composed of cannon fodder would not bring much military merit. Only by killing the professionals of the Imperial Army could he obtain a large amount of military merit and be promoted.

It is easy to destroy guerrilla forces, but difficult to kill professionals.

Of course, it would be easy to defeat the Imperial Army's guerrilla forces by relying solely on one elite company.

At that time, with the presence of Goss Leviathan, a level 5 trainee professional, it would have been easy to wipe out the entire guerrilla force, but one thing was certain: Goss Leviathan would never be able to keep the three professionals of the Imperial Army.

He therefore ordered Goss to retreat.

After abandoning the three watchtowers, he gradually figured out the pattern of how the Imperial Army's guerrilla forces selected their targets.

But we still need to continue observing.

When the Imperial Army destroyed the fourth target as he had guessed, he knew the opportunity had come.

As early as a day ago.

He took the entire battalion and borrowed three professionals from a brother battalion to wait for the arrival of the Imperial Army at J3.

Lure the enemy deep into our territory, then surround and annihilate them.

This was du Sville's plan.

Now a total of 7 professionals, 200 elite soldiers, and 800 core soldiers of the Kingdom Army have blocked all the retreat routes, and the Imperial Army guerrilla forces have become trapped in their jar.
