At the most critical moment of the situation.

What everyone didn't expect was that Thea stood up.

Thea personally commanded the war, and the crowd was completely devoid...... I don't dare to have any objections.

But Ocasus was sincerely ashamed.

Originally, the battle situation was brought to such a bad situation by him, and he was ready to take the blame after the defeat.

But now Xiya has taken the initiative to stand up and take on this responsibility, which makes him feel embarrassed when he kept saying in advance that he would assist Xiya to become the king of the world and let the banner of the Holy Dynasty fly in every corner of the Jialan Continent.

So when the meeting opened again, Ocasus was afraid to speak.

Thea sat back on her throne and looked around, remembering the unfamiliar faces in her heart.

At this moment, she felt very helpless.

Just facing this unfamiliar face made her feel very nervous, not to mention that she had to command them to defeat the powerful Holy Dragon Kingdom, was this kind of thing really something that people could do?

It's just too hard for a flower in a greenhouse.

This moment also made Xiya deeply realize how hard Vega has worked for the rise of the dynasty, with this group of 'terrible' guys who will fight each other without saying a word, can they really win the battle?

But Thea knew she had no choice.

From the moment she ordered Ocassos to put Vega under house arrest, intending to keep Vega by her side and let her conquer the world in his place, she was already destined to have no way out.

She wants to be king.

A supreme king who can claim Vega for himself.

Therefore, no matter what kind of predicament she faces, as a king, she must learn to carry the entire dynasty on her back.

She took a deep breath, and then said, "Generals, I think that the Holy Dragon City can no longer hold on, rather than retreating after a complete defeat, it is better to return to the country immediately, defeat the Imperial Army first, and reorganize our morale, and then consider the battle situation here." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and there is no objection.

Because the battle situation is already very obvious, the Holy Dragon Kingdom has been tested twenty times in a row, if it is not out of the world, it will definitely launch a decisive battle in the next five attacks, this decisive battle is in the current state of the dynasty army, there is not the slightest hope of victory.

In fact, many officers have long wanted to retreat.

They wanted to retreat back home, first to resist the Empire's onslaught, and then to wait for Vega to wake up before regrouping.

However, because Ocasos was eager for quick success and had always wanted to defeat the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom in a short time, no one dared to make this suggestion, and once he put it forward, he might be scolded by Ocassos.

"Since there is no objection to this, then prepare to retreat. ”

Thea let out a long sigh and handed over the strategic city that Vega had gotten, which Thea didn't want to see.

But she understands better that what the dynasty needs to do now is not to accelerate the pace of expansion, but how to regain the previous morale that even the gods dare to fight to the death after losing Vega.

This way of regaining morale is definitely not through the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Thea believes that Ocassos's decision from the beginning was wrong, and that this way of building morale should be retrieved by defeating the Imperial invading army, and with her and Ocassos' ability, she is absolutely capable of defeating the Imperial army in a head-on battle.

Now Thea's thinking is very clear.

She understands that she does not have Vega's talents, which is her shortcoming.

In the case that it is impossible to imitate Vega's combat style, it is even more important to see your strengths clearly, and then use your advantage to deal with the next war, which lies in the strength of her and Ocassos as star mages.

And frontal warfare is the least error-tolerant form of warfare.

The combination of dual-star mages, as long as they do not encounter the Holy Dragon Kingdom, there is almost no possibility of defeat against any force.

I don't know if it's because Thea is very talented in her own right, or if it's luck, this decision is at least more than a step higher than that of Ocassos, and even in the face of this situation, Vega will make this decision.

In Vega's opinion.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, and in the thirty-six plans, 'go' is not the next strategy, but the upper plan.

When the enemy is overwhelming, there are no more than three options left for you.

First, surrender.

Second, sum.

Third, retreat.

If you surrender, it is obviously equivalent to total defeat, and if you seek peace, it can be equivalent to half defeat, but if you retreat, because the decisive battle has not yet begun, of course, it is not considered defeat, as long as there is no defeat, then the next time you face the Holy Dragon Kingdom, there will definitely be a turnaround.

This is the principle of the 36 strategies.

But many generals can't actually do it.

For example, like Ocassos, the huge sense of gain and loss made him stubbornly choose to stick to the Holy Dragon City even though he knew that he might lose if he continued to fight, and he couldn't break his wrist at all.

Although it was not easy to make this decision.

But in fact, it is even more difficult to retreat than to let go of gains and losses.

This time, the Holy Dragon Kingdom is menacing, and the monitoring of the Dynasty Army can be said to be all-round.

As long as the Dynasty Army dares to make a retreat move, the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom will inevitably pursue it as soon as possible, and due to the number and individual quality of the Holy Dragon Army, it is really simple to pursue the Dynasty Army.

Of course, Thea didn't expect this.

In the imagination of a layman, it is difficult to win the enemy, and is it also difficult to retreat?

Simply on this issue, some generals raised it.

"Your Majesty. ”

Admiral Baldo asked softly: "The enemy's eyes are already all over the city, how can we hide from the enemy's eyes and retreat with our whole body? ”

Thea was stunned.

On the premise of not being mentally prepared, when asked like this, of course, I was stunned in place.

However, Thea quickly adjusted.

Since you have chosen to become a true king, you must give your subordinates confidence, because for the subjects, the king is their faith, and faith is an omnipotent existence.

That's right.

"I'm omnipotent!"

Thea hypnotized herself in her heart, and slowly spoke: "You go and order the whole army to prepare for retreat, as for a safe retreat? Isn't it a matter of course? Don't forget, our goal is to conquer the world." ”

This sentence has swelled to the extreme, and its logic is even more laughable.

Our goal is to conquer the world, isn't it more than enough to cope with such a small scene?

But such a sentence with no logic at all, for the courtiers, it can give them infinite confidence.

Since Xiya promised that there was a way to retreat safely, they naturally had to be convinced, and Xiya successfully calmed down everyone's uneasiness, but she didn't come up with the slightest way to hide from the enemy and retreat safely.

Meanwhile.

With Thea's order, the whole army began to prepare for the retreat.

Even Vega, who was in the secret room, looking forward to the defeat of the dynasty army, was taken out of the secret room by Carol with a sack and a gagged mouth, ready to retreat with the army at any time.
