Chapter 376: The Return of the King
The Kingdom Army, the Chinese army camp.
This is where the headquarters is located, and it is also the safest and most core area.
Fleeing from Saint Laurent, Ariel, the person in charge of the incident, returned to the camp and immediately requested an interview with the commander-in-chief, who was to report the news that Vega had returned to Kareni to Commander Tennile Reinberg.
"Please come in. β
When a voice sounded inside the door, he finally met Tenniel, led by his lieutenant.
"What's the bad news?"
The emotionless voice came, which made Ariel couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
As a soldier under Tennier's account, he knew very well what a great man the commander-in-chief was, and it was no exaggeration to say that only one or two generals in the kingdom could barely reach his heights.
But at this time, Tenniel, he Ariel has only seen in his life.
The crooked military uniform, the piles of papers, the bloodshot eyes and the inability to hold the pen's right hand make one wonder if the old man will be able to hold out until the end of the war.
But Ariel didn't dare to slack off.
He hurriedly reported to Tenniel: "Report to the general, the plan has failed, and we have not been able to erect a tombstone in front of the royal palace in Saint Laurent......"
"Captain, tell me your reasons. β
Without even raising his head, Tenniel's voice echoed through the conference room.
Goo-dong.
Captain Ariel swallowed, then hurriedly reported, "Vega, Vega Kareni have returned. β
"He asked me to tell you...... Tell you ......"
"He's Vega, Vega Kareni has returned, and he's allowed you to do your last useless struggle with humble courage, pitiful self-confidence, and foolish anticipation. β
Let's do itβ
The pen in his hand fell, and Tenniel's body stiffened as he drew on the map.
He rubbed his sour eyes, but his right hand was not put down, and when he really put it down, if he looked closely, he would find that the back of his hand was faintly wet.
Tenniel didn't speak.
As if trying to hide something, he stooped down to pick up the pen on the ground, but he was halfway through it and fell to the ground again, this time out of his reach.
It seems that the move has been abandoned.
He cautiously sat back in his seat and reached out to pick up the porcelain cup beside the table.
But instead of picking up the porcelain cup, his weak right hand knocked it over, and the boiling water dripped down the edge of the table and fell to the ground, soaking the documents and maps on the table.
The adjutant seemed ready to come over and clean up.
But Tenniel raised his right hand slightly, weakly stopping the adjutant's actions.
He coughed weakly a few times, and then said, "I know, this matter is over, since that little imp has returned, and the army that wants to come to Ingrid is not far away, wait for him to come back and let him come to see me." β
"Yes, Commander. β
Ariel saluted and left the room.
Until now, he couldn't believe that the self-confident, arrogant, and old commander in chief had actually changed into this appearance because of that little ghost, and this was still the previous commander, who was completely an old man who was about to die.
Can such a commander really fight that little ghost?
The previous scene came to his mind irrepressibly.
The moment the child appeared, it caught his eye. Maybe ordinary people just think that the momentum of that little ghost is terrifying, but only those who have really been on the battlefield know what kind of murderous aura it is.
That murderous aura has been condensed into an entity.
How many people do you have to kill to be so terrifying?
Ariel didn't know, the only thing he knew was that he was too scared to move at the time.
At that time, a gut told him that if he dared to take another step, he would fall on the spot the next moment.
Indeed it is.
Ariel could not forget the child's eyes, and for a moment he sensed what seemed to be the precious life of a human being, in the eyes of that imp...... Nothing.
Killer king, executioner, butcher?
No, these terms tarnished the almost materialized murderous aura.
Only the devil can truly match his identity. He was convinced of that when the flying sword stabbed his teammate in half, blood splattered on his face.
Exaggerate?
No, it can only be said that words do not express what if. People who dare to question this must be a voice that dares to question without really meeting a pair of eyes that do not belong to human beings.
So now.
Ariel just wants to get away from the battlefield and just want to return to his homeland.
He never wanted to see that face and meet those eyes again in his life.
Even though he knew that there were 200,000 people standing behind him, he didn't think that he could win, and that with human wisdom and means, he could defeat the devil after all.
Wait, victory?
How arrogant I was to say this word in the presence of that devil!
Ariel leaned weakly against the wall outside the door, speechless for a long time.
ββββ
Yves Saint Laurent.
Vega comforted Thea briefly, and locked himself in his office, looking for a way to break the enemy.
Of course, no one will ask whether it will be a battle or a surrender in the process.
Suggesting surrender in front of Vega?
Vega is not Xiya, no one thinks that his life is too long, and if he says such a thing, it is strange that he is not killed by Vega's sword, and no one dares to provoke someone like Vega.
Everyone fell silent in front of Vega.
It has to be said that their judgment was correct.
Tomorrow is the decisive battle, and there is anyone in the way at such a critical moment?
Then Vega really doesn't mind evaporating the other party with a sword, so that he can think about the enemy's strategy with a clear ear.
Although the balance of victory in this war is tilting in favor of the kingdom from any angle, and any countermeasures seem to be weak, it is not that there is no hope of victory, because the kingdom army is short of food.
As long as it can hold out for two days in this war, then the kingdom army will be defeated.
So the question is, how do you hold on for the next two days?
With only 20,000 combat strength, 80,000 cannon fodder is indeed difficult to defeat the kingdom army head-on, but if it is only delayed for two days, Vega can still give it a go, if he really wins.
Even if you lose.
Vega had no choice but to flee from Saint Laurent with Thea, abandoning everyone.
He still has a seed army of 3,000 men, and counting the time, Ilo has probably arrived in the Immortal City of the Empire, ready for final negotiations. If the negotiation is successful, it will be a matter of time before the kingdom withdraws, and there is still a chance to make a comeback.
But now is not the time to think about that.
Now it is the tactics of dealing with the enemy.
So how exactly can an army of up to 200,000 be dragged to death?
This problem may seem fantastical to others, but it is not impossible for Vega.
Street fighting is one of the best ways to deal with blitzkrieg, and it is also one of the most typical delaying tactics, and Vega once used a combination of street fighting and guerrilla warfare concepts to fight the kingdom army in Kareni for more than a month.
This time.
It doesn't take a month, it doesn't even take a week, it only takes 2-3 days.
Of course, being a qualified commander, does not put all your eggs in one basket.
It is too risky to delay the enemy by means of street fighting and guerrilla warfare, and the number of enemies and the momentum of the last battle are not a joke, and once they are free, they will not be able to return to the sky.
Therefore, this tactic is only a backhand for Vega.
He did prepare another, more adventurous and daring plan to keep the Kingdom Army out of the way without a fight.
