Chapter 197: The Siege
Vic Juggernaut is a powerful professional and an experienced general who is proficient in the art of war, and it only took one day to get orders from the king to prepare all the armies of Sunset City and march to the MiG fortress.
When he reached the MiG fortress and made peace with the "Combine Army" sent by the "Church" nobles, Vic easily commanded the "Combine Army" with iron and blood and the power he had accumulated over the centuries.
So far, Vic has an army of 250,000 people, even if these troops are not elite main forces, even if the military discipline is lax, even if there are a bunch of problems, it is more than enough to surround a small MiG fortress with only 50,000 defenders of the "Glory Army".
The first thing Vik Juggernaut did on his first day at MiG Fortress was to lead his army and lay out a posture to attack the fortress walls with all his might.
Ladders were carried over, catapults made of solid wood were neatly arranged, next to each catapult there were several big men snorting and putting a huge stone coated with grease into the basket of the catapult, every soldier was wiping his sword, and the army under the MiG fortress looked like it was ready to attack at any time.
The preparation for the siege was perfect, every step could be said to have reached the level of "textbook precision", and the command of such a temporary patchwork army could still be organized and even easily managed, which is enough to explain why Vic Juggernaut is called "First General Dylan".
But...... At this time, Vic was not in the slightest mood of joy, on the contrary, he was extremely disgusted with this inevitable war.
In fact, if you just want to break through the MiG fortress, you won't need a single soldier of these 250,000 troops, and Vic Juggernaut alone is enough to turn this ancient fortress into ruins, and the two layers of granite walls made of bricks and stones are not much stronger than the two layers of old parchment in the face of the slash of the full-level Juggernaut.
In the face of the sudden attack of the Vic Sword Master, the troops are tight, the strong are scarce, and the Glory Army, which has nothing to do, can't take out a formal-level powerhouse to guard the MiG Fortress, and ............ Even if a formal-level powerhouse is sent over, will he be able to defeat the Vic Sword Saint who has reached level fourteen?
In fact, if it weren't for Vic's Juggernaut ordering the indiscriminate slaughter of all "living creatures", the defenders in the MiG fortress would have surrendered a long time ago.
The reason why Vic ordered 250,000 troops to take a siege posture was actually more to prevent the inhabitants of the MiG fortress from escaping, and Vik Swordmaster, who adhered to the concept of "order is absolute", received an order to "slaughter all living people", so he would not let any poor people leave.
Victor, who was ready for everything, did not give the order to attack, he just ordered the army to be strictly guarded, to stand by in place, and then sat alone in the ornate tent and closed his eyes and recuperated - he did not disobey the king's orders, but only delayed a little without any negative effects.
In fact, Vic Swordmaster is very reluctant to carry out this "massacre" order, he is a professional in the camp of good order, and the gods he believes in also uphold the doctrine of good order, this order to slaughter the defenseless poor undoubtedly violates Vic's principles and bottom line, not to mention that Vic knows very well that the whole thing is actually a conspiracy of the Dawn Church, and the king has given up his responsibility and glory as a king and has become a puppet of the Dawn Church.
But Vic is an "absolute loyalist" who has been cultivated by the royal family of the Dylan Kingdom since he was a child, even if the king's order makes him deeply disgusted and disgusted in his heart, but as long as it is an order given by the "king" with his own will, he will still unswervingly and conscientiously carry it out.
The order of the "king" is absolute!"
Vic said to himself silently.
"As the sword of the "king", I don't need to think, I don't need emotions, I don't need my own will, it's enough to carry out all orders indiscriminately............ But............ Or will it be so grief-stricken"?
Vic lowered his head and gently stroked his hand, which was given by the seventh king of the Kingdom of Dylan, and the "Wind Punisher", which symbolized "absolute loyalty", was silent for a long time.
He didn't strike at the MiG Fortress in the first place, because he knew that the good princess was thereβTrelinka must be on her way over.
"Good princess, lead your guards to perform the so-called miracle, pierce my head with a poisonous blade, and perhaps being beheaded by the sword of justice as an evil slayer is the only way I can embrace kindness while being "loyal".
Vic stared at the resolute face of his own projected on the side of the greatsword, muttering to himself in a low voice.

At this moment, while Vic Swordmaster was immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, Princess Trelinka was hurrying from Dunk City to MiG Fortress, her hair flowing in the wind after a long journey, and sweat drenching almost all the leather on her armor.
Behind the princess's horse, two figures, a man and a woman, were the only two of Princess Trelinka's two full-fledged powerhouses who could follow at any time, the archon Ax and the maid Naya.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Trelinka, this is a trap, a trap set by the despicable Dawn Church, I'm afraid Vic Swordmaster has already set up a net in the MiG Fortress waiting for you to pass............"
Archon Ax said anxiously as he ran, but his words were quickly interrupted by the princess.
"I know, of course I know that this is a so-called massacre to lure me into the net, but so what, am I going to let my people be killed and do nothing."
Princess Therelinka's eyes were red and she said aloud, wiping the sweat and tears from her face with her hands, revealing an expression of unwavering determination.
"Vic Swordmaster is not a murderous man, I know him very well, he is more loyal to the country than anyone else, loyal to the royal family, I will tell him that all this is a conspiracy of the Church of Dawn, I will convince him to fight for the true glory of the kingdom"!
"Her Royal Highness ............ Princess"
What else did Ax want to say, he wanted to say that Your Royal Highness you don't know anything about Vic Swordmaster, he is loyal to the royal family, yes, but he is unreasonably loyal, how can such a foolish person be persuaded by a princess who is defined as "rebellious"?
But Ax knew that the current princess couldn't listen to anyone, and convincing Vic Juggernaut was the last hope of the Glory Army and the last straw in Trelinka's heart, and a person who was about to drown in despair would not think or dare not think about whether this straw was effective.
So even if Ax is eloquent, he can't persuade a person who is pretending to be asleep, not to mention that he doesn't have any good eloquence.
Looking at the thin figure of Princess Trelinka riding on a horse, Ax could only sigh heavily, and said nothing more.
He silently glanced at Naya, who was walking in with him, and both of them saw the same will in each other's eyes - no matter what, even if he had to fight with the rumored terrifying Vic Sword Saint, he would save the princess's life and the last hope of the Dylan Kingdom.
