Mage Veigar

Chapter 775 Encounter on a narrow road

Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have not been fussy about trivial matters.

If we start from the perspective of logical reasoning, assuming that this sentence is true and there are no exceptions, then I am afraid that Vega will never be able to achieve any great achievements in his life, because he simply does not have the courage to not care about details.

Not only is he a haggler, he is also extremely greedy.

Now the two armies are deployed.

Whoever is more patient, more courageous, and less fussy will naturally give up the advantage of terrain and launch an attack on the enemy.

in this war.

Although geographical advantages can affect the outcome of a battle to a certain extent, the influence is so small that it can be abandoned directly.

However, Vega was obviously very greedy for small gains. It was impossible to expect him to give up that insignificant advantage and launch the first attack on the Holy Dragon Army. He believed that he must not be the one to suffer a loss, not even a little bit.

So he had enough patience to wait for the attack of the Holy Dragon Army.

Speaking of patience.

Augustus believed that he was definitely not inferior to the rebel leader.

After all, the third-party force, the Jialan Army, was on the way. The reason why the rebels came in such a hurry was that they were going to defeat their own army before the Jialan Army, and then take away the Holy Dragon City without giving the Jialan Army any chance.

So the ones who should be anxious now should be the rebels.

Every day of delay brings the Jialan Army one step closer to here, which means the rebels’ hope of taking over Holy Dragon City is reduced.

On the premise of knowing this.

Augustus simply continued to fight with the rebels, as if to say, "If you don't come over here, I won't go over there."

In fact.

Augustus did not have this "geographical advantage" because his army crushed the rebels in all aspects. Even without the support of the air force, he could defeat the enemy relying solely on the army. The location of the decisive battle was not enough to affect the final outcome.

But people are fighting for their dignity.

I may not need this advantage, but that doesn't mean I will give it up.

It was you who brought your army all the way here to attack me, and now you are unwilling to give up even this insignificant geographical advantage. In that case, let's just fight it out. He wants to see who is more anxious.

Augustus snorted in disdain deep inside.

What Augustus didn't expect was that Vega also believed that his patience was no less than that of the Holy Dragon Army.

They confronted each other for five whole days, but the rebels did not make any move, not even the slightest intention of attacking.

need to know.

Although the Jialan Army needs to go around most of the territory of the Old Kingdom to get here, they have already completed half of the journey. They will arrive in ten days. How can the rebels still remain patient now?
This was incomprehensible to Augustus.

He has now begun to consider not fighting for this opportunity anymore, but simply giving up that trivial advantage to the other party so that he can lead his army directly to the battlefield set up by the other party and engage in a decisive battle with the other party.

But he had another consideration.

Could it be that the rebel leader has actually lost his patience and is just pretending to be patient?
It's not impossible.

The better the commander is, the calmer he will be when facing fear and anxiety.

So Augustus planned to observe for another three days.

These three days are the deadline. He must eliminate the rebels before the Jialan Army arrives here. He doesn't want the rebels to become the biggest winner in the next war with the Jialan Army.

Three days is enough.

Augustus believed that if the rebel leader was really pretending to be calm now, then these three days would be enough for his true colors to be revealed.

Veigar was clearly not pretending to be calm.

Rather, it was what he wanted most that Augustus did not attack.

His original intention was to delay the decisive battle with the Holy Dragon Army until the right time, so that when the rebel army was completely wiped out and the Holy Dragon Army was severely damaged, the Jialan Army could directly intervene and take over the war.

of course.

Vega also had a deadline in mind - five days later. If Augustus did not take the initiative to attack after five days, then in order to prevent Augustus from not wanting to fight him or even withdrawing his troops back to the city, he would give up the factor of "geographical advantage" and take the initiative to provoke a war.

Once Augustus hides back in the city.

Then it might be a bit difficult to achieve the goal of harming 800 and losing 1,000 of your own money.

He may need to pay three times the price, that is, lose three thousand of his own lives in order to injure eight hundred enemies.

This is something Vega absolutely does not want to see.

After all, the purpose of this battle is to use the rebels to weaken the Holy Dragon Army's strength to the greatest extent.

Fortunately, Augustus was not the kind of sub-dragon who would fight for every inch. Relying on his own courage, he gave up the insignificant advantage of "geographical advantage" and instead led his army deep into the valley three days later.

The vanguard troops occupied the entrance to the canyon.

Then, after the reconnaissance troops repeatedly confirmed that there were no traps or ambushes near the place of the decisive battle, the 400,000 Holy Dragon Army advanced steadily and finally met the Jialan Army that had set up its battle array in an unnamed canyon.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

This is indeed a good place for a decisive battle.

There were towering cliffs on both sides, no trees growing, and no forks to escape from. There was only a wide road in the middle leading to the distance.

Just get into it.

Unless one side surrenders, the other side may not even be able to escape once it fails.

This is the real place of decisive battle, a place where it is either you die or I live.

"How brave!"

Augustus was inspired as he looked at the place where the decisive battle took place.

He looked ahead and said to himself, "Although your courage is commendable, I will accept the victory of this war."

Augustus swung the sword in his hand.

He shouted angrily to the front: "Order the entire army to attack!"

The cone formation was deployed and the Holy Dragon Army took the initiative to charge. They were like a sharp arrow, ready to pierce the enemy to pieces.

"Defensive formation."

The flare rose into the air.

Two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers were on the front, another two hundred thousand were on the flanks, and one hundred thousand were left behind to provide support at any time.

At first glance.

The formation they set up looked quite decent and seemed not inferior to that of the Holy Dragon Army.

"For victory!"

The Holy Dragon Army roared loudly and pierced the rebels' shields with their sharp spears.

"Humanity will never be enslaved! Traitors must die!"

The rebels refused to give in, and after blocking the attack, they struck the enemy with a sword.

Boom boom boom——

Magic roared and weapons clashed.

The real frontal battle broke out in this narrow road.

The rebels are undoubtedly brave, because every member of the rebel organization has the same wish in their hearts - to overthrow the rule of the dragon race and restore the status of mankind.

With the blessing of this wish.

They burst out with unparalleled courage, and it goes without saying how powerful the power brought by courage is.

But this time, courage alone does not seem to be enough for the rebels to win, because now we can see that although the rebels possess unparalleled courage, their offensive was forcibly suppressed by the Holy Dragon Army.
