Mage Veigar

Chapter 837 Life Choice

Two days later.

Thick fog enveloped the coastal city of Gir and the nearby unnamed islands.

For the people in this city, sea fog is a common thing, especially at the turn of spring and summer. Sometimes the sea fog will even linger for two weeks without dissipating.

Although it is not so severe in autumn and winter, there is still occasional heavy fog.

For the fishermen here, even without the help of the Word Wizard, they can predict the weather to a high degree of accuracy, so no one will go out to sea today.

same.

The Third Navy, which has been stationed here all year round, is also very familiar with this sea area and the weather, so today they simply gave up their patrol mission in the sea area. After all, in such a remote place, let alone the enemy, they can't even find half a foreigner.

"Captain, is this really okay?"

A young soldier who had just joined the army said with some concern: "The book says that this kind of weather is the best time for the enemy to launch a surprise attack from the sea, so shouldn't we be on high alert today? Why are we resting early instead?"

"Kaga boy, let me test you."

The captain was not angry, and said with a smile: "It is true that the book says so, but is there any precedent in our country's history of being attacked by the enemy on the coastal cities?"

"This...no."

The recruit seemed a little unconvinced, but he really couldn't find a precedent.

"Alright, Kaga boy, go back and rest, this is the navy."

"Do you know what the navy is?"

The captain took out a cigarette, took a puff and said, "The so-called navy of the empire is nothing more than a retirement home for soldiers. Those assigned here are either of low quality or have offended their superiors. The military funds given to us by the empire are pitifully small. You have to understand that the so-called military glory belongs to the army and air force, and has nothing to do with our navy."

"how so……"

The young officer found it hard to believe.

In times of national crisis, he was eager to serve his country, but now he is told that the navy is like this?

The captain took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Kaga boy, if I'm not mistaken, you must have offended someone during the recruit training, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been sent here."

Kaga didn't answer, his face turned livid.

Because the captain was right about everything, when he was in recruit training, he was dissatisfied with his superior's corruption and bribery, so he reported his superior to the judicial system. Later, his superior was dismissed, and he was sent to the navy after the recruit training.

"Okay, don't think too much about it."

The captain patted Kaga on the shoulder and said, "Now that you are here, you should make the best of it. It's not bad to get used to this city. Although you can't get promoted by gaining military merits, you don't have the risk of being on the front line, right? Go and rest early."

"Yes, Captain."

Kaga was ready to leave as if he had accepted his fate, but the moment he turned around, he seemed to see some huge monster cutting through the thick fog and heading towards this peaceful and quiet medium-sized city.

Hallucination?

No! It's definitely not an illusion!

He said in horror: "Captain, what is that..."

"It can't be wrong."

The captain didn't seem to be affected at all, still smoking his cigarette, and said, "That's the navy fleet, the enemy's navy fleet! I didn't expect that after so many years, the enemy would choose to use the navy to attack us."

"Captain, I'm going to sound the alarm."

Kaga was trying to sound the alarm in a panic, but the captain held his shoulder.

"Okay, Kaga boy, don't panic."

The captain took a final puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground and said, "Don't you resent the Empire for throwing us into this godforsaken place? Although I say that I'll make the best of it, I already hate the Empire! Since I joined the navy, I haven't had the courage to return to my family for ten years, because after I went back, I was met with contempt. Compared with the army, we in the navy are indeed a group of inferior creatures." Kaga's face changed.

Like the captain, he also comes from a small military family.

He still remembers vividly how his relatives treated him coldly and looked down on him when he returned home on Grace Day and learned that he was in the navy.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Kaga clenched and unclenched his fists, and his face turned blue and red.

"I heard that the Jialan Empire values ​​talents very much."

The captain's eyes were full of calmness, but Kaga saw the madness in them: "It just so happens that the other patrol teams all went back early to slack off today, and there are only two of us on duty. Don't you think the Jialan Navy needs two guides to land in Jill City?"

"Captain, you are betraying the Empire."

Kaga's face was full of panic. He had never thought of such a thing in his twenty years of life.

"No! You're wrong Kaga-boy."

The captain closed his eyes, recalling the contempt of his family and friends, as well as the ugly face of the senior army officer who transferred him out of the army. He grinned and said, "It's not us who betrayed the empire, it's the empire that betrayed us!"

"Is... the Empire betrayed us?"

Kaga clenched his loose fists and said to the captain: "Captain, I listen to you. I've had enough of my current life. I want to show those people who is the shame of the family!"

"Hahaha!"

The captain laughed and said, "Hurry up and raise the white flag to welcome the landing of the Jialan Army."

"Yes, Captain."

Following the captain's order, Kaga raised the white flag and awaited the arrival of the Jialan Army.

Under the guidance of two local officers.

The Jialan Army easily captured the city of Jill.

Since no one had given advance warning, and with two people acting as guides and reminders, Vega was able to adopt a siege and attack simultaneously, which also prevented the entire city from sending a single soldier to break out to other cities to report the news.

up to now.

The other cities had no idea that Gir City had fallen.

The city of Gil is one of the southwestern port cities of the Empire. It is less than two days away from the Empire's Shield City, Silla. If the air force is sent for a surprise attack, it will only take less than four hours for Vega to arrive behind the enemy's main force.

Once a sneak attack is launched.

Even if we cannot capture Xierla City immediately, we can still inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

At this time, Vega also sent a letter to Haussmann, informing him that everything was ready and asked him to bring his troops to join the 400,000 troops in the east to form an army of 800,000 to launch a fierce attack on the city of Silla.

There are 800,000 imperial troops on the front line.

Then the city of Xierla would certainly not be able to take care of both ends. At this time, there was a surprise attack from the rear by a force of more than 300,000 special forces, attacking from both sides. Without taking into account casualties, it was absolutely possible to capture the city of Xierla before other reinforcements from the empire arrived.

This time lag makes it difficult for the empire to react.

Finished sending the letter.

Vega took time out of his schedule to personally entertain two local navy officers who served as his guides.

Because reputation is something that needs to be accumulated, as long as his reputation for respecting the wise and humble continues to spread, more and more talented people will come to him, so Vega does not think that this is a waste of time, but rather an investment.
