Mage Veigar

Chapter 768 Praying for Hope
Under the attack of the Holy Dragon Army Mage Corps, countless people were killed and wounded.

The civilians saw clearly the Holy Dragon Army's determination on this matter, and the whole city fell into despair.

To escape is to die.

If you don't escape, you will die.

There seemed to be only one dead end before them.

However, the human desire for survival means that they cannot sit still and wait for death. In desperate situations, they will always look for that elusive glimmer of hope to redeem themselves.

What's more, this glimmer of hope is not far away, but right in front of us.

That’s right, this ray of hope is of course the rebel organization under Vega.

Take a closer look at this organization's battle record. They overturned the security team, occupied the security building, killed the military's intelligence minister, and forced the army to use the method of clearing the city to deal with them.

In other words.

This organization has a combat capability that can rival the military, or even be stronger than the military.

If this prerequisite is true, does it prove that as long as they join this organization, they still have a chance of survival?
Regardless of whether the answer is yes or no.

For the desperate civilians, the Dragon Slayer Organization is indeed their only hope for self-salvation.

Therefore, the whole city began to look for the traces of the Holy Dragon Army. Some civilians applied to their superiors through the dragon-slaying organization members around them, hoping to become a member of the rebel army.

Veigar accepted all of these people.

Anyway, these members are self-sufficient and don't need Vega to pay a penny. Some wealthier members can even provide financial assistance to the organization. In this case, only a fool would refuse to accept them.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The Dragon Slayer Organization has officially entered its boom period.

If each member brings in one person, then the one million will double to two million. If two million bring in one person, then the two million will become four million...

In addition, there are no restrictions for joining the organization, as long as you can provide for your own food and clothing. This has led to many people joining with their families, from 10-year-old men to -year-old children. As long as you can pick up a weapon and fight, you can join.

In just two days.

There are more than 1 million people in the city, and 4/ of the civilians have joined the Dragon Slayer Organization.

After joining the organization.

These people began to make requests to their superiors, asking the organization to stand up and uphold justice on their behalf.

Faced with this request, Vega certainly couldn't refuse.

Because now we have reached the stage where we can switch from guerrilla warfare to frontal warfare.

Veigar had a pretty good sense of timing.

If an order for a frontal battle was given before this, as soon as the Holy Dragon Army attacked, a few people died and a few drops of blood were shed, the civilians would become afraid and flee in all directions, causing the army to be defeated.

But it's different now.

When every civilian knows clearly that leaving Gasili City is a dead end, and the only way to have a chance is to fight to the end and take back Gasili City, they will not retreat even if more people die in front of them.

This is what is called a last-ditch effort.

The time is now.

Vega first sent a message to Xia, asking her to lead the army to advance towards the city of Gasiri openly.

At the same time, he issued a mobilization order to all members of the organization, announcing that he would launch a decisive battle with them within the deadline given by the Holy Dragon Army.

Therefore, the first to move were the Jialan Army.

As soon as the Galan Army made a move, Augustus was the first to get the news.

In order to avoid being attacked negatively like last time, he violated the deadline in the announcement and issued an order to expel civilians in advance. He has authorized the army to kill any civilians who disobeyed the order.

It seems like this caught the Dragon Slayer Organization off guard?
After all, Vega's order was to start the decisive battle at the deadline, but the Holy Dragon Army started the expulsion plan ahead of time. But one thing you need to know is.

The reason why the Holy Dragon Army launched the plan ahead of time was simply because the Galan Army suddenly attacked, and it was Vega himself who ordered the Galan Army to suddenly attack. In other words, the real culprit who made the Holy Dragon Army act ahead of time was Vega.

Since the culprit was Vega, why were they caught off guard?
It is better to say that Vega deliberately used the Galan Army to force the Holy Dragon Army to launch the massacre plan ahead of time, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians first, using the blood of these people to tell the people in the city that the Holy Dragon Army would never show mercy, and at the same time arouse their bloodiness and hatred.

Anger and hatred, this is enough to drown out fear.

The more the Holy Dragon Army kills today, the stronger the rebound will be tomorrow.

If a group of people hadn't died, it wouldn't have been enough to make the civilians determined to fight to the death.

Besides that, Vega understood one thing deeply.

A hero can only be called a hero if he appears at the last moment.

People who have a smooth journey and nip danger in the bud can never be called heroes, even if their abilities exceed those of heroes by far. They are more often called far-sighted wise men who can gain people's respect but not worship and faith.

Only those who can turn the tide and support the collapsing building can be worshipped.

What Vega wants to be is the hero of Gasili City, to gain the admiration and faith of the whole city. Even though the means to become a hero are somewhat unscrupulous, Vega has never said that he is a real hero.

rather say.

He is an executioner in hero's guise.

Under the manipulation of the executioner in disguise, the prelude to war finally began.

Augustus cooperates very well with Veigar.

When he learned that the civilians refused to cooperate with the deportation plan, he cruelly ordered the officers to massacre the city.

"Commander, this... is it too much?"

The officer who was carrying out the order felt a little reluctant. After all, he was also a human being. It was psychologically unacceptable for him to lead his troops to slaughter his own kind.

But Augustus was unaware.

Just as you would not feel cruel if you killed an ant, he certainly had no feelings about the death of a human being, so he forcefully ordered the officer, "Major General, please obey orders. You should know the consequences of disobeying military orders, right?"

“…Yes, yes, Commander.”

Gritting his teeth, the officers led their troops to the front line.

"Sir, do you really want to do it?"

The adjutant felt sorry for the helpless look in the civilians' eyes.

"Pass the order...Kill!"

The officer closed his eyes and turned his back, not daring to look at the scene.

This was not the first time he had attacked civilians, but the war between humans and humans was different from the war between sub-dragons and humans. Killing civilians for the sake of the human king was one's own master, but killing civilians at the behest of sub-dragons was simply a betrayal of all of humanity. There was no honor at all, and shame was everywhere.

"Traitors, you will die a miserable death!"

"Kill me, you will lose!"

"The organization will not let you go..."

"..."

One by one, the civilians uttered their last words before dying, and then fell under the spears of the Holy Dragon Army.

From day to night.

The death toll in the city has exceeded 300,000, and the helpless civilians are forced to move out of the city. At this time, they finally begin to pray for the arrival of heroes and hope.
