Mage Veigar

Chapter 825 Early Winter
Inspired by Veigar.

Hausmann truly understood how to deceive the enemy's eyes.

If it was a few years ago.

Someone asked him how to launch a surprise attack without anyone noticing.

Hausman might suggest countermeasures such as 'find a way to blind the opponent', 'attack when the opponent is 'asleep'', or simply 'blind' the opponent's eyes so that the opponent cannot identify your location.

Because as long as the other person can't see it.

Then they won't be able to tell from which direction you are attacking, and your chances of winning will naturally be maximized.

But since Vega officially stepped onto the international war stage, he joined the camp of the Galan Empire. After several exchanges with Vega, Hausman completely changed his mind.

He will never forget that day.

He thought he had fully understood Vega's core combat thinking. When he told Vega that if he wanted to launch a surprise attack, then "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" was the best strategy to deceive the enemy, Vega directly denied it.

Yes, I will never forget it.

The kid told him that making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is like covering the opponent's eyes with a piece of ink cloth. Some people will even be alert in all directions because they cannot see their surroundings clearly, making you invulnerable.

On a quiet night, a sleeping person will be awakened by the slightest noise.

If you poke out the other person's eyes, maybe his ears and nose will become more sensitive.

Therefore, Vega once told him that only by burying the conspiracy under the enemy's noses, no matter how sharp their vision, hearing, and smell are, they will not be able to realize the problem.

This is what is called habit becomes nature.

Based on this, Hausmann laid out all his preparations for the past three months and achieved unprecedented results.

If placed before.

If he dared to lead 400,000 troops to the border, the imperial army would certainly be greatly alarmed and put themselves on a level one combat readiness status.

But now he had driven his troops to the border, and had not even reached the territory of the empire for half a day, but the empire was completely indifferent and only sent some scouts to observe their movements.

The reason is very simple.

This kind of thing is commonplace in the Imperial Army.

They had seen the scenery of this road too many times, so many times that they could even guess that the Jialan Army would build another line of defense in Area C, followed by Area B, Area A...

So now, the time has come.

Hausman wrote a letter to Vega that day, asking Vega to communicate with the hundreds of tribes. This would attract the enemy's attention. As long as Vega led his army to attack from the northwest of the empire at the same time, he could attack the Nolan Empire from three sides!
The time for launching the attack was set for early winter.

When Vega received the letter, he immediately smiled brightly.

"As expected of Haussmann Christian."

Vega, who has been following the war closely, already knows how far Hausman's plan has progressed. Next, it is time for the Rapid Attack Trilogy to officially take effect. How can the unprepared Empire defend against this Rapid Attack Trilogy?

Veigar is on the move.

He rushed to Everlook City as soon as possible and prepared to personally take charge of the war in the northwest.

In order not to arouse the empire's vigilance, Vega did not mobilize any troops this time. Instead, he planned to directly use the 200,000 defenders in Everlook City as the main force on the northwest front.

This garrison has been docked in the City of Everlook.

In addition, hundreds of tribes have always been under the rule of the empire.

This means that it is impossible for the empire to discover anything wrong in advance. By the time the problem is discovered, the entire northwest direction may have fallen.

For this quick battle.

Vega brought along the sisters Shia and Leia. Because the heavy snow had frozen the Jialan Mountains, it was almost impossible for the Western countries to cross the Jialan Mountains before the ice and snow melted. This meant that Shia did not need to stay in the capital to stabilize the situation, and could let go and rush to the front together.

We brought the Rhea sisters along just in case.

If he really cannot take control of the central part at that time, Vega does not rule out using divine magic to forcibly pry open the gate to the central part of the empire.

Except for the few people that Vega actively requested.

To Vega's surprise, Alysia also asked to go along.

Of course, it was not surprising, but it was not surprising either, because she and Shia had been together almost every day for the past three months. As Shia was about to go to the front, she naturally couldn't help herself, just like... no, it should be said that she was just a 15-year-old girl who had finally found a playmate, and Vega certainly couldn't refuse this request without reason.

In short, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

As time passed, the winter solstice that everyone in the country of Jialan had been looking forward to finally arrived.

The winter solstice in this world is not as gentle as that on Earth, especially in border cities like Kareni. The cold wind blows on the soldiers' faces like a knife, and the hands holding the weapons have long been frozen red.

Fortunately.

The first snow of this year has not yet arrived, and the whole world is filled with desolation and bleakness.

At this time, the gates of Kareni City were open.

Compared with the flow of people in the past, even the merchants are too lazy to walk after winter, so the original five city guards have been reduced to two. These two guards are still listless, with their heads lowered, hoping that the rotation time will pass quickly.

Twos and threes.

To pass the time, several soldiers gathered together to complain about the weather.

"Alas, it's that time of year again. This year's weather seems to be even worse than last year."

"It's only early winter, what will we do after some time?"

"You guys really don't know how lucky you are."

A scout who had just returned from the front and was transferred to the guard team said: "The soldiers of the Jialan Empire are in a much worse situation than us. They still have to build a defense line on the border at this time, and I am afraid it will take until the end of winter. And when winter is over, what awaits them is war."

"After hearing what you said, I suddenly felt balanced."

Another soldier grinned and said, "I don't know what happened to those 'comrades' who rebelled against the Empire and followed the traitor Haussmann Christian. I'm afraid they won't even be able to save their lives next year."

"It's just that they are blind."

The captain echoed, "You chose to follow the traitor to the Kingdom of Jialan instead of staying in the Empire where the army is invincible. It's too late to regret it now. Our Empire will never forgive traitors."

"I suddenly start to look forward to the day when victory comes, hahaha."

The soldiers were chatting and laughing, and were very optimistic about the future.

As if to match the soldiers' mood, the sun temporarily broke through the clouds, delivering intoxicating warmth.

But the intoxicating moments are always fleeting. The warm sunshine disappears completely in a short while, followed by the extremely cold and endless darkness.

"Then, what is that..."

"War airship, it's a war airship!"

"Whose war airship?"

"The Jialan Empire, it's the Jialan Empire! Quick, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

The soldiers' calm expressions disappeared, replaced by panic.
