1:00 a.m. sharp.

This is the best time for a night attack, and the gates of the city of Donbu burst open at this time.

Da Da Da –

It was the echo of the boots on the ground.

With 50,000 vanguards, 100,000 on the left and right flanks, Vega sent 250,000 soldiers to slowly drive towards the Imperial army's main camp, and at the current pace of marching, it would be possible to launch a frontal battle against the enemy in about 2 hours.

Two hours later it was 3:00 sharp.

For most people's biological clocks, three a.m. is the time to go into deep sleep, which means that the enemy has lost basic vigilance.

And now at this stage.

The Imperial Army, from top to bottom, did not think that there were any enemies on the west bank of the dynasty, so the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance and patrols would not be loyal to their duties, and even if they did stick to their posts, they would be perfunctory in their duties.

Everything was as Vega had imagined.

When he approached the 2,000-kilometer radius of the camp with his army, the enemy's camp still did not sound the alarm, and under the half-bright moonlight and the howling cold wind, this camp that stretched for dozens of miles and contained more than 200,000 troops seemed very quiet.

It's a cold winter.

In this season, which is the most unsuitable for marching and fighting, the ordinary soldiers hide in the covers early, and the soldiers in charge of patrols also hold blankets and huddle in corners where the wind does not blow, where there are still people who pay attention to whether there will be an enemy attack.

"Report to the General, the gate guards have been cleared. ”

The leader of the Shadow Mage squad reported the latest results to Vega, and they entered the enemy camp in the dark, easily killing the guards in their sleep, and still did not alarm anyone.

After all, Vega had been here for five whole days.

In the past five days, he had already figured out the situation of the patrol troops, and even the secret outpost Vega hidden underground had personally visited it, so it was impossible to miss a single detail, and the terrible effect of knowing oneself and the enemy was highlighted here.

"Go according to the plan. ”

Vega gave the adjutant an order for the whole army to act according to the plan prepared in advance.

This command can be roughly divided into three steps.

The first step is a head-to-head battle.

Vega ordered the vanguard to crush the most powerful 3rd Division head-on, and then spread out on both flanks and charge forward in a conical formation, by means of which the Imperial army could not organize an effective counterattack formation.

The second step is to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Vega sent an army of about 30,000 men to attack the enemy's logistics warehouse, not giving the enemy the slightest chance to turn over.

The third step is the decapitation tactic.

Since Vega knew well in advance the location of the headquarters of the various units of the enemy army, he ordered the high-level military units to break through behind enemy lines and perform decapitation tactics against Eskar and other generals.

Of course.

Vega knew very well that ordinary high-ranking officers were surrounded by powerful mage guards, and many of them had high-ranking mages who were against the sky, and it was quite difficult to behead the enemy.

But it doesn't matter.

Vega's real goal was to paralyze the enemy's chain of command, leaving Eskar and other generals busy dealing with high-level assassinations, and had no time to organize troops and effectively counterattack them.

and so on, the big picture has been decided.

Vega can go back and wipe out Eskar and the others, and unify the dynasty in the true sense, after all, the number of soldiers in a war, the level of combat power is only a secondary factor, and what can really change the situation of the war is the decision-making of high-level officers.

When the top of the enemy army is swept away.

Then the army that has lost its brains, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is, there is no place for them.

Interlocking.

With what he has seen and heard in five days, Vega has formulated this battle plan with a probability of nearly 100% victory, and now every chess piece that can be moved by Vega is being watched by Vega, and he has sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

————

Dead.

At 3 a.m., Eskar was supposedly asleep.

But tonight I couldn't sleep anyway.

Escal himself couldn't understand this, he just felt a little irritable, he couldn't sit, he couldn't stand, and he almost went crazy with this sense of anxiety in his heart.

Pick up a water glass.

Eskar wanted to take a sip of half-cold tea, but with a shake of his right hand, the cup of water fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground, but because there was a carpet on the ground, the glass did not break.

Eskar bent down, ready to pick up the water glass.

But the moment he bent over, a wave of air hit him, pushing him directly several meters away.

Rumble!

The explosion of magic echoed.

Eskar, who had fallen into a lot of meat, raised his head and looked towards the explosion point, only to see that he didn't know when, one by one, the mages of the dynasty army were releasing magic on him, and if it wasn't for an earth mage to defend in time, I'm afraid he would not have been pushed out by the air waves, but shattered to pieces.

Except for the Elemental Mage.

The Shadow Mage and the Profession also came into view of an attempt to break through the Guardian's defenses and assassinate him.

"Damn, who the hell are these!"

Escal couldn't figure out why someone could organize such a force to assassinate him, so there was no enemy on the West Bank.

However, at this time, Eskar did not take the enemy seriously.

He said directly to the adjutant beside him: "You go and send a signal for support, I will capture this group alive, and ask which organization dares to be so bold and come to my army to commit murder." ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

The adjutant had just agreed, but outside the door there was an earth-shattering sound of magical bombardment.

Knock knock –

Along with the sound of magical bombardment, there was also the sound of an enemy attack.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Eskar said in disbelief: "How is it possible! How can it be that there is still an army to launch a surprise attack on us, I want to know the specific situation, kill! ”

"Boom, boom!"

Everything didn't go according to Eskar's script.

Since Vega ordered high-level forces to break through behind enemy lines, there were not one or two high-level forces attacking the general headquarters, and the defensive barriers of the earth magicians smashed by the fierce magic were crumbling, not to mention fighting a bloody way, it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to continue to persevere.

"Commander, the enemy army has too many high-level forces, please forgive us for not being able to do it......"

No sooner had one of the mages reported the situation than he saw a burst of firefire break through the defenses and smash into his body, burning him to pieces.

Under a dense bombardment of magic.

Even if the level of each mage in the mage elite escort team is quite high, it is beginning to be unable to hold on, especially the barrier of the earth mage has already appeared several loopholes, and I am afraid that it will all be shattered if it is supported for another five or six minutes.

"No! I'm not going to die here!"

"I haven't been promoted to general, and I haven't fulfilled my lifelong dream. ”

"I'm never, absolutely not going to die here!"

For death, Eskar was completely unprepared.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was staring straight ahead, and although all the evidence showed that he had no hope of survival, he was very sure that he would not die here.

If you have to force an explanation.

This is his unique sense of war, the sense of war of a quasi-five-star general!

Although intuition is illogical and cannot be explained scientifically, for soldiers and officers who are on the verge of life and death, they do have the potential that ordinary people do not have, or do not awaken.

At this critical juncture.

An Imperial army arrived, breaking through the encirclement of Eskar like a sword.
