Mage Veigar

Chapter 839 Controlling the Breakthrough

Shield of the Empire, the city of Silla.

As the empire's logistics base, the defense here is very strict.

First of all, the city is stationed with 800,000 garrisons, including three aviation corps and a high-level mage corps.

In addition to its own defensive strength.

It only took less than two days for the reinforcements from the cradle of the army, Sobi City, to arrive here. It even took only a day and a half for the air force support from the more distant air force base, Langley City, to arrive here, not to mention the most elite Royal Corps in the rear of the imperial capital who were on standby at any time.

It can be said.

As long as the city of Langrey does not fall within two days, the enemy will inevitably be surrounded.

This is the reason why the central part of the empire is known as the second safest place.

The vast empire did not need to use large and medium-sized cities to form the Saint Laurent defense system like the old dynasties. Instead, they used a combination of three heavy cities plus a super heavy city to turn the central part into an iron barrel.

Over 800,000 troops.

Three standard aviation corps.

Plus five crystal hubs for air defense.

Such a combination can ensure that the Imperial Shield City of Silla can hold out for a week even when facing a frontal attack from more than 1.5 million land and air forces.

So in theory.

There is absolutely no possibility that Xierla City will fall.

But theory is just theory. Although on the surface the city seemed strong enough to withstand a frontal attack by an army of one and a half million without falling, it was only a frontal attack.

This time, Vega is not going to launch a frontal attack.

After learning that there was a shortcut that could reach Xilla City within one day, Vega left 50,000 troops to guard Jill City to ensure the safety of his retreat, and then led 300,000 people to set out from Xilla City at full speed.

This operation.

All 3.7 soldiers of the Second Marine Corps of the Navy served as the vanguard, responsible for the rapid march to capture the city gate. Xia Saint Laurent accompanied the vanguard and served as the main force of the siege.

The first echelon of the vanguard army was the 31st Division of the 2nd Marine Army.

The 6,000 men of the Seventh Independent Regiment belong to the 31st Division. The navy soldier Kaga, who had just surrendered, serves as the commander of this independent regiment. This is also the result of his initiative to apply to Vega to fight on the front line.

Without a doubt, this is the front line.

The next thing he will participate in is the siege.

As an independent regiment in the first echelon, his first order was to establish and guard the defense line after entering the city, and his second order was to be responsible for the city’s public security control after the war.

As for whether he can survive until the second mission begins, it is an unknown.

Kaga himself was of course quite scared and even felt a little regretful.

As a naval soldier with no command experience, he applied for such a position to the king in a fit of rage. This seemed to be no different from seeking death.

But!
If he were given another chance, he would still choose to do so.

Because he really wants to prove himself.

Picking up the telescope from here, you can already see the city of Silla, the shield of the empire, from afar.

That city was his hometown, where his parents and family lived. However, due to his passionate act, he was transferred away from Xierla City, which brought shame to his parents and family.

Even now.

He didn't even want to recall the family reunion on Grace Day, his parents' disappointment in him and the mocking looks of others.

In fact, he is a dispensable character.

He has no extraordinary gifts and abilities, and has been mediocre as a member of the family's side branch for the past twenty years. If he had not been sent to the navy, no one except his parents would have noticed his existence.

Although his family was not a big family, at best it was just a low-ranking military family, relying entirely on an army regiment commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel to support the entire family, other family members at least managed to get some official position.

But he was just an ordinary soldier, and was assigned to the navy. In the end, he was not even allowed to use his own surname in public...

Yeah, it's like...

He has always lived in the shadow, and the light belongs to others.

So this time, even if it means risking his life or betraying the empire, he must prove his existence.

In this battle, he wanted victory more than anyone else.

As a rebel soldier of the empire and a lowly naval soldier, he told the high-ranking army officers in his family about the shame of his family and won the war.

then!

Use your own surname with dignity - Kaga Doyle.

"Everyone! Get ready!"

Kaga picked up the telescope, looked at the front, and raised his hand.

The frontmost position.

That was their noble queen, Sia Saint Laurent.

Kaga knew Xia's name, the legendary supreme star elemental mage.

The war horn of this battle is the elemental magic of the star wizard.

As a small soldier, he had never seen the release of star magic so far, so this time Kaga was looking forward to it very much, and prayed that the star magic would not let him down.

Rather than being disappointed, it was more like it exceeded expectations.

With a loud bang and the rise of a mushroom-shaped cloud, Kaga, who witnessed everything, was so frightened that he almost dropped the telescope in his hand.

Powerful, too powerful!
The smoke and dust cleared, the heavy city gate had been destroyed, and the city of Xierla had opened its arms to them.

This battle is won!
This star magic gave Kaga infinite confidence.

No, it's not just Kaga.

It gave the entire vanguard army great confidence.

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!"

The entire army couldn't help but launch an attack on Xierla City while shouting loudly.

"Attack! Attack quickly!"

Not willing to be left behind, Kaga excitedly gave the order to attack.

As a member of the first echelon, he was the first to rush into the city.

Before setting foot in the city, Kaga had thought that he would encounter fierce resistance from the enemy. As the commander, he even prepared a spear himself, intending to fight to the death with the soldiers.

But after entering the city, he found that he was wrong again.

It went very smoothly! It went very smoothly!
The enemy had no defense line at all, only defenders who rushed in from other places. However, these defenders came in a hurry and had no formation to speak of, so they were unable to organize effective resistance, which made them more courageous as the battle went on.

In just over an hour.

Kaga discovered that his vanguard army had firmly controlled the location of the city gate and built a defense line nearby. Now they just had to wait for the main force to arrive before they could officially start the war.

Everything is going smoothly as planned.

Why is it so smooth?

As a newly appointed mid-level military officer, Kaga did not understand the key things.

Not only Kaga, other soldiers also didn't understand why what they thought was a tough battle turned out to be as easy as taking something out of a bag. However, this did not prevent them from judging based on this criterion that this war would definitely be won.

The morale of the entire army is at an unprecedented high.
