The light is faint.

When the sun slowly rises in the east, it means that Vega has taken thirteen sub-strategic cities.

What Vega needs to do now is simple.

That is, to build a defensive line around thirteen cities, and to take root in the northern part of the empire in the true sense, this time may take about a month and a half.

When the defense system of the thirteen cities was established, it was completed.

The city of Kareni has almost completely been ruled by the kingdom army, which means that Vega can openly carry out the plan for the city of Ropps and completely drive the empire's army out of the northern territory.

Although Vega also knew that this war could not destroy the empire.

Even at the end of the war, it is very likely that the Allies will be defeated, but this does not mean that as a defeated country, it will not be able to gain benefits at all. As long as you take the north, the sooner you can loot the resources of the north.

When the resources and property are in hand, what can be done to return the territory to the empire?

After a major war, the empire will inevitably have no extra energy to invade other countries, and take advantage of this time to use the looted resources to develop national strength, which is the strategic policy set by Vega from the beginning.

Now the basis for this strategy is in place -

They captured thirteen cities in the hinterland, and in doing so, began to build a defensive line.

But Vega was still frowning, because until the end of the war, he had not seen half of the Imperial reinforcements.

There is a way to win more, less to win.

Even if the mechanism calculates, there may be a little mistake that will lead to the defeat of the battle, not to mention that Vega can't guess what medicine is sold in Foster's gourd now, which makes him instinctively uneasy.

After all, people are always afraid of the unknown.

Vega believes that in a war, if you fall to the point of seeing the move, it means that defeat is not far away.

Because in Vega's concept of war, seeing the move can explain to a certain extent that the enemy is leading the way, although on the surface it seems that the situation is very good, but the fact is that I am afraid to fall into the enemy's trap.

Therefore, Vega was not blindly optimistic that the Empire was not sending reinforcements.

Now he can't figure out what Foster is calculating for a day, and he doesn't have the slightest confidence in his heart, marching and fighting is not child's play, and it will be too late to lose his life if he doesn't get it right.

One person counts short, three people count long.

When working behind closed doors failed, Vega chose to convene a high-level meeting, hoping to gather the best of the best in the world to get some inspiration, and finally find out why Foster had surrendered the central hinterland.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that you are too worried. ”

A staff officer said confidently: "The Imperial Army must know that other routes will not be able to support the central hinterland in time, and it may encounter your resistance through Balkan City, so instead of wasting energy to send a large force to test it, it is better to save some energy to prepare for the war that may be faced in the future." ”

"Staff Officer Regon is right. ”

A division commander echoed casually: "The empire must see that it is powerless to return to the sky, so it simply cedes the central hinterland to your Highness, after all, now the empire is under attack on all sides, and from the intelligence fed back from other fronts, the empire has been avoiding the sacrifice of soldiers, and constantly shrinking the defense line, letting go of the cities that can be put as much as possible, and only holding on to strategic cities." ”

The teacher's words were agreed by most people.

The empire is now under attack from all sides, and the pressure it is under is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the imperial army has also changed the arrogance of the past to fight and fight, and people can't believe that this is the style of the empire.

And not just on the Northern Front of the Empire.

Especially on the front of the Southwest against the Free Alliance, the empire has given up almost all the secondary strategic points, and has shrunk all its forces to hold the main strategic points in its hands, and it is difficult for the Free Alliance to gnaw these hard bones for a while.

The more this happened, the more worried Vega became.

The Imperial Army, full of pride and sharpness, is quite a headache, because it is difficult for you to defeat them in a head-on battle, but the Imperial Army that puts aside its glory and pride is creepy because you don't know what they are really planning.

A fatal punch is not a straight one.

The real heavy punch must be after a long period of accumulation of strength to achieve the effect of killing with one hit.

The current situation of the empire in full shrinkage does not feel like giving up on healing, but rather like it is in the process of accumulating power for a long time, and then after reaching a certain tipping point, it will strike hard.

If you don't fly, it's just a sky;

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

When a country that is almost invincible in a frontal battle no longer uses frontal warfare, this does not mean that the empire is poor, but it does not mean that the empire has accumulated strength and then made a splash!

"I'd like to ask you to think again. ”

Vega motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said worriedly: "Except for the absolute disadvantage, or the absolute impossibility of victory, the Empire has ever been absent from a frontal battle when it is evenly matched, perhaps slightly inferior?"

"No! not once!"

Vega said what made him sleep: "Although the Empire also knows that it is too late to rescue the thirteen cities in the central hinterland, in the style of the Empire, whether it is out of temptation or disgust, they will definitely send troops to fight against the blocking force I have set up in Balkan City, but this time they did not come." ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons. ”

Vega continued: "The situation on other fronts does not apply to us, I think that wars have always been more victorious than less invincible, and you can think of me as a paranoid, but even so, please use your wisdom and speculate with me about what else the Empire could turn around in such a desperate situation." ”

"The main forces of the Eastern Front have been pinned down by Lord Ocassos and can be ignored directly. ”

"The western front is also pinned down by the alliance and the principality of Baya, and there must be no spare troops to support here. ”

"The garrison of the city of Lops is 270,000, and it is more than enough to defend itself, and it is not enough to enter. ”

"There are no reinforcements outside, all the internal lines are lost, and the empire is indeed powerless. ”

“......”

Everyone discussed it word by word, but no one came up with a point that could turn the tables.

The last brigadier looked at Vega and said, "I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness, we really can't think of any possibility of the empire turning the tables when Kareni has been lost, unless the kingdom betrays us and cooperates with the city of Ropps to attack us negatively, then we will have no way to move forward, no way to retreat, only a dead end." ”

"But it must be impossible"

A lieutenant general shook his head and said: "There is a way that is cold, we were annihilated by the empire, and the national strength of the kingdom is not enough to stop the greed of the empire, just as we need the existence of the kingdom to contain the empire, they also need us." ”

The crowd echoed this analysis.

But at this moment, Vega suddenly stood up from his seat, his face was pale: "You just said...... What if the Kingdom Army cooperates with the city of Lops in Kaleni to flank us negatively?"
