Mage Veigar

Chapter 773 Quick Battle
The real use of rebel groups is as cannon fodder.

Neither the members of the rebel organization nor Augustus of the Holy Dragon Army had expected this.

Until now, the members of the Dragon Slayer Organization still believed that they were fighting for humanity, and Augustus also thought that the rebels who defeated him were arrogant and wanted to take over the Holy Dragon City before Vega.

So Augustus was ready.

This time he wanted to wash away the shame, wipe out the rebel army at the gates of Shenglong City, and let the commander of this army know what war is!

It was the fifteenth day.

Since the rebels did not need to take a long detour, it only took them 7 days to reach the vicinity of Shenglong City in the north.

"Master, the Legion Commander."

The intelligence officer came to the headquarters and reported the incident to Augustus: "Five hundred thousand rebels have set up camp in the valley about two hundred miles away from Shenglong City, and they can attack us at any time."

"It seems the time for revenge has come."

Augustus' eyes flashed with cruelty, and he ordered the intelligence officer: "Keep an eye on the enemy, and notify all senior officers. I need to seek their opinions."

"Yes, Commander."

After receiving Augustus' order, all the officers gathered in the conference room, all looking at Augustus who was sitting in the main seat. Among these senior officers, about 70% were humans, and the remaining 30% were all sub-dragons.

"Colleagues."

Augustus first turned his gaze to the human officer: "Before this meeting begins, I must first declare to you that the racial equality regulations promulgated by His Majesty the King are sacred and inviolable. Any questioning of the regulations is not allowed. I am also a staunch supporter of the regulations. I also ask everyone present to keep this in mind and not be influenced by certain rumors."

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it restored the confidence of the human officers.

Because before the meeting, they did hear some things about the Battle of Gasili City, including Augustus' order to massacre the city. This made them suspect that Augustus had torn up the racial equality regulations, and then they began to worry in their hearts: if they continued to work for the Asian dragon race, would their human rights be guaranteed?
But Augustus' words gave them peace of mind.

The sub-dragons are not prepared to tear up the racial equality regulations, and they can continue to believe in the sub-dragons' promises.

"Everyone."

Augustus saw that everyone had put their worries aside a little, and continued, "Now the Dragon Slayer Organization is using the excuse that we have torn up the racial equality law and the slogan of doing it for humanity to deceive soldiers and civilians. In fact, it is not for humanity, but for their own selfish interests. You are not stupid people, you should understand this, right?"

Everyone looked at each other and chose to accept Augustus' words.

Because what Augustus said is not impossible.

As frontline officers, they knew very well that some rebel organizations were just marching under the slogan of fighting for humanity, but in reality their leaders were just playing with the hearts of civilians for their own selfish interests.

to the end.

The leader of the organization gets everything he wants, but the civilians suffer.

For civilians and soldiers alike, peace is the most precious thing.

As long as the sub-dragons can keep their promise and not revoke the racial equality treaty, they can serve the sub-dragons, because compared to war, both civilians and they desire peace more.

As long as there can be peace.

It doesn't matter whether they are led by humans or dragons.

If they have to be labeled as traitors to humanity in exchange for peace, then these officers are absolutely willing to bear all the blame rather than let those nominal rebel organizations fool the civilians.

In other words, after receiving Augustus's reaffirmation, these officers have regarded the Dragon Slayer Organization as a real threat to humanity. Regardless of whether the Dragon Slayer Organization's original intention was for humanity, at least during this period of time, civilians could enjoy peace under the rule of the sub-dragon species, and the Dragon Slayer Organization was one of the culprits that broke the peace.

This is also a matter of course.

The sub-dragon species brought them peace, and the dragon-slaying organization brought them war. It goes without saying who is beneficial to mankind and who brings disaster to mankind. Putting aside the racial identity, it seems that this dragon-slaying organization is the real enemy of mankind.

"We are willing to help the commander to eliminate the enemy."

In unison, all the human officers swore an oath to Augustus at the same time.

This pre-war meeting successfully united the top leaders, and when the top leaders have a consistent goal, it will influence the soldiers at the lower levels.

On the premise of unity.

Augustus really raised the topic of this meeting -

Is it defense or offense?

If the enemy was Vega's Galan Army, Augustus certainly wouldn't dare to think about attacking.

He has suffered too many losses at the hands of Vega. If he rashly switches from defense to offense, he will repeat the same mistakes and fall at Vega's feet, and be severely punished by Vega again.

But the enemy is the rebel group 'Dragon Slayer'.

As we all know, the Dragon Slayer Organization recruited 200,000 surrendered soldiers, disbanded 4 million members, and left behind 300,000 untrained young and strong men. At first glance, they were the best of the best, and their strength was extraordinary.

But if you really look carefully you will find it.

This is simply a mob. Both in terms of numbers and the quality of the soldiers, they are not on the same level as the 700,000 Holy Dragon Army in Holy Dragon City.

In other words.

Even if you don't defend the city, you can take the initiative to attack and crush the enemy 100% directly in the wild.

This is one of the reasons.

There is another reason.

In the Battle of Gasili City, the reason why the rebel organization won was that the civilians of the entire city stood on the side of the rebel organization, which in turn influenced the army and caused the army to turn against them, which led to his defeat.

If the rebels are given enough time.

No one can guarantee whether the rebels will not repeat the same old tricks or even send people to sneak into Shenglong City to deceive the civilians of the entire city again, and finally make him stumble over the same stone twice. That would be a shame that can never be washed away in a lifetime.

The solution to this problem is simple.

That is to take the initiative to attack, not giving the rebels time to resort to unorthodox tactics, and directly force the rebels who have come from afar to fight them to the death in the wild with conventional warfare. If they engage in a head-on battle, Augustus is 100% sure of winning.

Augustus presented this view to the crowd.

So everyone thought that they should not give the rebel organization enough time. The best thing to do should be to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop before the Jialan Army arrived here, and then concentrate on fighting against the Jialan Army.

that's it.

The Holy Dragon Army reached a consensus, which was to take the initiative and attack.
