The Royal Army retreated.

When Ingrid saw the banner, he knew that the battle had been lost.

As for killing the rifle and retaking the city of Tully?

This kind of thing is too unrealistic, because if you want to capture the city of Tully, it is definitely not enough to rely on the strength of a division, and he does not believe that Vega will have no reinforcements behind him.

Therefore, Ingliel ordered a retreat.

Despite all his reluctance and helplessness, he was indeed deceived by Vega's grass and trees.

Even he didn't expect that Vega was bluffing at all, and the hindsighted Ingreel guessed that Vega's strength was probably only a standard division.

"With a division, take the city of Tully. ”

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Ingrid's mouth, and the psychological shadow that Ben had eased slightly when he came to the east was now more serious, and he had begun to fall into a stage of self-doubt.

"After this war, quit and go home. ”

Ingrid muttered to himself, he was already tired of war.

However, a few days after the safe evacuation, before Ingreel took the initiative to submit his resignation, he was approached by the Judge Advocate General's Office.

"General Inglier. ”

Several shadow mages dressed in dark military uniforms with a sharp glint in their eyes handed over a document: "We now suspect that your official is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and now temporarily freeze your command authority, please follow me back for investigation." ’

"Collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?!"

Ingreel almost fainted again.

Forget it after being tricked by Vega again, it finally calmed the suspicions of the soldiers and officers at all levels, and now even the military justice department has come to the door, just because of that damn banner?

You can believe the words of the enemy?!

Even if he was infinitely aggrieved in his heart, Ingrid could only be restrained.

Bang!

There was a sound of the door closing, and Ingrid was locked in a dark, damp cell.

He carried shackles in his hands that could seal magic and spiritual power, and he was wearing tattered prison uniforms, which still looked like a general, and he was so embarrassed that he was not even as good as a civilian.

Treat traitors.

The kingdom has always had zero tolerance, even if the traitor is only suspected.

"Alas. ”

Ingrid sighed and glanced at the desperate prisoners in the cell, and he had no interest in talking to them, but cowered in a no-man's corner of the cell.

"Hey, uncle, what did you do to get in?"

Several tall and strong youths walked over, and from their slightly pointed ears it was clear that they were the people of the Holy Dynasty.

Ingrid didn't bother.

How could a person as high as him deal with the lowly civilians of the enemy country.

But the arrogance in Ingrid's eyes stung the humble self-esteem of several young men, and they immediately punched and kicked Ingrid, and even splashed urine on him.

And Ingliel, who was shackled, was powerless to resist.

This kind of "recruit training" in prison is staged almost every day.

Dozens of minutes later.

Ingrid was taught to be dying.

The right eye stained with blood oozing from the cracked forehead was a little unable to open, and the pain of falling apart made him almost faint, thinking that he had fought for half his life and did not die on the battlefield, did he want to die here?

For a general, this is a great humiliation.

He, Inglil, absolutely, never, would never admit such a thing.

But the more Ingrid resisted, the more angry the prisoners became, and the level of violence grew.

Ten days later, the cell was opened again.

The guards rushed into the cell and saved Ingliel, who was almost dying, while the Judge Advocate General's Office stood nervously beside him.

His suspicion was cleared.

In the face of everyone's flattering expressions, Ingliel had no words.

He walked out of the dark cell with the help of his adjutant, and when he saw the light again, he had given up the idea of resigning and returning to his hometown.

At this moment, he suddenly understood.

Death is not the most terrible, as a general, if you can't die on the battlefield, that's the most terrible thing.

Shame and courage.

Ten days in prison had rehabilitated Ingrid's heart after a year of turmoil.

Tortured to the point of being emaciated like a septuagenarian, he spat out his first voice after walking out of his cell: "It turns out that I have been lost for so long, and next time, not for the kingdom, not for glory, not for dignity, but only to prove myself." ”

————

It's been half a month since the city of Tully was taken.

The entire city of Tully has regained its former prosperity under Vega's rule, and the port dozens of kilometers away has been repaired and is now fully operational.

And today is a special day.

The Holy Dynasty and the three remaining divisions of the Empire are about to arrive in Tully.

A puff of smoke billowed up.

Standing on the tower of the east city, Vega, who was looking far away, noticed the arrival of the dynasty army for the first time.

The Holy Dynasty's Royal Legion, the 23rd Legion, the 18th Army, the 7th Army, and the remaining 270,000 soldiers will cross the Donbu River through the port of Tully City and go to the western part of the dynasty to recuperate.

It is no exaggeration to say.

This time the rescue plan was very successful.

Without this gap, the Royal Legion would not be able to retreat through Saya City, and if Elder City was not captured, the armies of the other fronts would have no way to retreat even if they were freed from the Kingdom Army.

The recapture of these three medium-sized cities directly revitalized the whole game of chess.

Now as long as the dynasty retreats safely to the west, then there is a chance to make a comeback, instead of being blocked by the kingdom in the east and slowly encroaching away. This is also the reason why although Vega's plan seemed to be messy, no one opposed it at the time.

At that time, it was not enough for two generals to "die" just by agitating the generals.

Whether it is Garru or the commander of the dynasty, they are all existences with some rich command experience, and there is no real hope to see, even if you say that the sky is broken, they will be unmoved.

"Open the gates. ”

The herald gave the order, and the gates of the city were opened.

The Imperial Army and the Imperial Army are in full swing, and Vega also meets Commander Garru after a long absence.

"Thank you, Brigadier Vega. ”

Garru said with an expression of admiration: "It is said that hearing is false and seeing is believing, but now it seems that there is a little adulteration in your evaluation of the general, and even I have to be impressed to be able to take Tully City with the strength of a brigade." ”

"Commander Garru praised it falsely. ”

Vega grinned on his face, but he wanted to punch Garru inside.

If he remembers correctly, it was this guy who rejected the dynasty's reinforcements and sent a brigade to attack the city of Tully at the risk of total annihilation, just to show the strength of the Imperial Army?

Although slapping a swollen face and filling a fat man does all kinds of harm and no benefit.

But it was precisely based on the success of this "pretending" that the dynasty army once again realized the strength of the imperial army, and at the same time, Vega's reputation began to be known by the dynasty royal family.

The king of the Holy Dynasty came to the presence of Vega.

He put on a friendly smile and said, "Commander Garru, this must be our hero, General Vega Kareni, right? ”

When you hear the king's words, you should reply as soon as possible according to etiquette.

But to Garru's surprise, Vega, who has always been steady and polite, not only did not answer the king's words immediately, but stared at the 15-year-old girl beside the king with rude eyes, this girl is Her Royal Highness the princess of the Holy Dynasty-
