Mage Veigar

Chapter 861 Dead End
Jialan Kingdom, front-line combat headquarters.

Vega sat in the main seat, and on the left and right were the generals.

Except for Tenniel and Hausman who had only recently arrived here with Vega, other officers had followed Vega's orders a long time ago and brought their troops here to station.

In other words.

They saw with their own eyes how the Western armies fell into the trap, which caused their psychology to reverse 180 degrees, because this scene was too shocking.

From the beginning, they, like Hausman, could not understand Vega's decision.

Leaving almost all the important checkpoints empty, not building a defense line around the natural barrier of the Jialan Mountains, and instead sending almost all the main forces to this damn place, isn't this equivalent to allowing the Western countries to cross the border unimpeded?

But now, there is only admiration in their eyes.

Because the Western countries are like fools who have lost their IQ. Instead of attacking the empty checkpoints, they crash into this iron wall trap. Now, as long as they close the gate, none of the enemies here will be able to escape.

The most shocking of them all was Hausmann.

He didn't expect that Vega had guessed everything correctly.

There was clearly no evidence to prove that the Hundred Races Kingdom had colluded with the West, but he made this decision very confidently, so confident that he would not listen to anyone.

Until now.

Hausman finally understood why Vega had been able to get to where he is today.

If other people had achieved what they have today, even if they had the best choice, they would have chosen the most conservative decision because of their huge sense of gain and loss. But Vega...only Vega Saint Laurent, regardless of everything he was burdened with, did not forget his original intention and made the most risky decision, thus gaining the greatest benefit.

Indeed.

The reason for the rise of the Kingdom of Galan is that it has taken unconventional approaches time and time again. Those glorious wars can hardly be replicated by others. It is like a billionaire who dares not bet all his chips on a 1% chance of victory. Similarly, no force can give it a try like Vega who gave up everything.

Victory or death is the most powerful weapon for the rise of the Jialan Kingdom.

It is like the claws and teeth of wild animals. Wild animals rely on it to prey. Once the teeth and claws are abandoned, the beasts will lose their threat. Fortunately, his king did not lose his determination to give up everything.

This determination.

Eventually, the Western countries fell into their trap and fell into their encirclement.

At this time, the latest intelligence has arrived.

The armies of the western countries seemed to have begun to move, and they were preparing to separate from the Hundred Races Kingdom.

One third of them went south, another third went east to fight, and the last third went north.

The strategic points corresponding to these three directions are the Immortal City and the Central Triple City of the original Empire, the City of Everlook of the old Kingdom, the rebuilt Golden Lion City, as well as Casili and the Holy Dragon City. Finally, the elite troops led by the Free Alliance and the Gangti City-State are pointing their swords directly at the entire Saint Laurent defense system where the capital of the Galan Empire is located.

It is clear.

The Western countries had made full preparations for this battle, and planned to strike as quickly as possible to kill Vega by surprise, so that Vega would be destroyed before the border troops could return to defend.

There are three paths for the countries to disperse.

The first route goes south through the Oasis Forest, the second route crosses the extension of the Kareni Mountains, and the third route goes north to the City of Everlook.

According to the original plan.

The southward expedition was led by the Principality of Baya, but it is now absent. Secondly, the eastward expedition was led by the Free Alliance and the City-State of Gangti. As for the northward expedition, it was handed over to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, because the territory of the Old Kingdom was originally the Holy Dragon Kingdom's home base.

Fortunately, the absence of the Principality of Baya did not affect the plan, so the Western countries still acted according to the original plan.

At this time, they were unaware that they had fallen into a trap, and they were even less aware that the Jialan Army had blocked almost all the paths and set up a large number of ambushes on the paths.

It was the evening of the third day.

The Free Alliance and the City-State of Gangti are approaching the outskirts of the extension of the Kareni Mountains. As long as they cross this extension, the city of Kareni in the northeast will be within sight. They can then launch a surprise attack on Kareni and declare the start of this war.

"The whole army speeds up and advances!"

King Strachey of the Free Alliance gave a loud order: "Your Majesty must reach the outskirts and set up camp before dark. We must speed up and cross the Kareni Extension within the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King."

A general heard the order and immediately turned around to give the order.

If we speed up, we can reach the outskirts before dark.

Unlike the flat terrain here, as long as they enter the periphery, the tall trees can help them hide their tracks and also guard against the air force of the Jialan Empire. Before they take over Kaleini City, they cannot send the air force to join the battlefield because there is no airport to provide their air force with docking and supplies, so at this stage they are still more afraid of the air force of the Jialan Kingdom.

But at the same time that Strachey's order was issued.

The setting sun, which was clearly hanging in the sky, disappeared, and then darkness enveloped the earth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Do not!
It's not that the sun has disappeared, but that the sun is blocked by something.

"Aviation Corps! It's the Aviation Corps of the Jialan Empire!"

The general who delivered the order shouted loudly, his face completely pale.

Because the Jialan Army’s air force is too large.

It is impossible to estimate with the naked eye how many air corps the Galan Army has dispatched.

The number of these war airships was so large that it even obscured the setting sun, plunging them into the darkness of eternal night.

them……

Can we still see the dawn of tomorrow?
No one could answer this question, because with such a large number of war airships and the flat terrain which was most conducive to the performance of the air force, plus they had no anti-aircraft force at all... it seemed that only a one-sided massacre was waiting for them.

That's right.

They are the prey, and the Galan Army are the hunters.

"Damn it! The Hundred Races Kingdom lied to us!"

King Strachey of the Free Alliance and Pope Eddington said this in unison.

The situation now couldn't be more obvious. The Jialan Army, which was supposed to appear near the Jialan Mountains, appeared here. This could only mean that someone had sold their plan.

As for who sold their plans?

Western countries are on the same boat and of course it is impossible for them to betray each other.

Apart from the Western countries, the only one who knew about their plan was the United Kingdom of Hundred Races.

Therefore, the answer is obvious: the United Kingdom of Hundred Races deceived them and lured them into this trap.
