Chapter 702: The Crusade

City of Dragons.

The Holy Dragon King received a request from Augustus to fight.

Originally, the Holy Dragon King couldn't understand this request.

Because the most "reliable" ally, the Nolan Empire, has withdrawn its troops, and Vega is coming from the west bank in a rage, in this case, although it cannot be said that there is no chance of victory, but this chance is actually very small.

After all, it was Vega who commanded the war.

What's more, it is rumored outside that the Jialan Empire has a terrifying war machine called a god-rank mage, on the other hand, in their Holy Dragon Country, the only hole card is actually a bone dragon between a god-rank mage and a saint-rank mage.

And most importantly......

This one-time hole card has already been used by Augustus.

It was only at this moment that the Holy Dragon King understood that even if the Jialan Continent entered the era of the end of the law, it was far more terrifying than he imagined, far from relying on the descendants of the dragon seed and a hole card to do whatever he wanted.

Therefore, in his opinion, a temporary withdrawal is the wisest choice.

However, Augustus made it clear in his request that his purpose was not to achieve victory, but to test whether there was such a thing as a god-rank mage in the Jialan Empire.

This information is too critical for the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

If it is determined that there really is a god-rank mage in the Jialan Empire, then he may consider returning to the Dragon Islands in the depths of the Dragon Sea with his people and army to continue waiting for the next era.

Anyway, they've already gotten their way back through Aiden Gary.

Ayden Gary is the only one who knows about this route, except for their wurms, and when the time comes to leave the mainland, as long as he sends a holy dragon messenger to kill Aiden Gary, he can continue to hide in the depths of the mist of the Dragon Sea as before.

If Augustus had found out that there were no god-rank mages in the Jialan Empire......

Then this information can be made public to the entire continent, and when the time comes, even without their Holy Dragon Country's action, the angry Western countries and empires will make a comeback, making Vega pay the price they deserve.

Ponder over.

The Dragon King finally agreed to Augustus' decision.

Their Holy Dragon Kingdom is the first to bear the brunt, and this temptation task must and can only be completed by them, and when Vega arrives in the country, it will be too late to carry out this kind of temptation. Because being able to launch a war of aggression means that Vega's wings are already very full, even if there is no god mage, it is enough to fight against many great powers.

With the support of the Holy Dragon King.

Augustus finally let go of his hands and feet, and boldly used the knife given by Foster to set up a defensive line.

First things to know.

Foster's plan was not to test the existence of a god-rank mage in the enemy, but to restrain the god-rank mage.

Therefore, this plan was mainly based on see-saw and guerrilla warfare, and at the same time proposed the establishment of multiple lines of defense and multiple ambushes.

In a nutshell.

According to this plan, Augustus needs to break up his troops into pieces, so that Vega can't figure out where his main force is, and then force Vega to use god-level magic in advance, and everything is mainly to force Vega to use god-level magic.

Therefore, the line of defense is divided into three.

The first line of defense was centered on the city of Saya, supplemented by the port city of Tully.

There were 100,000 vanguard troops on this line.

Augustus's request for the 100,000 vanguard army was to be tempted, to fight and retreat.

Of course, it is the best for these 100,000 vanguard troops to be able to force out Vega's god-rank mages, and if they can't force it out, they will introduce Vega into the second line of defense, the Saint Laurent defense system.

Use of Shine and Saya ...... Four satellite cities to camouflage the location of their main forces.

In order to induce Vega to use god-rank magic in one of them, take advantage of this gap, and then use the Saint Laurent defense system and the super high support speed of the wurm species to completely defeat Vega during the magic vacuum period of the god-rank mage.

If this plan was all there was to it, Augustus would not have dared to gamble on it.

What really made Augustus think it was feasible and willing to give it up was that this plan was not only a very unique way to fight against the Divine Mage and the Jialan Army, but also a must in terms of the safe retreat of the army.

Plan the last item - the retreat plan.

Using Yves Saint Laurent as a barrier, using less than 50,000 soldiers, and using the concept of street fighting to block the enemy army, it can be delayed for a considerable time, and the wurm itself comes with six hours of magical defense, which is enough for the main force to retreat.

Other words.

Even if they can't fight Vega, they can't find out if Vega has a god mage, they will only lose about 5-100,000 soldiers at most, and deal a certain blow to the morale of the whole army.

Besides.

They really don't have anything to lose.

At some cost, if you can test the details of Vega, and if you say big, what if they defeat Vega?

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and as if he had seen the goddess of victory beckoning, Augustus quickly coughed to wake himself up.

No sooner had Augustus recovered from his dream than the soldiers brought him news.

"Report to the Legionnaire. ”

The soldier sent a message about Vega: "The enemy has landed in the port of Tully, the exact number is unknown, but the preliminary estimate is not less than 300,000 men, and three aviation regiments have been detected guarding above. ”

"It's finally here. ”

Augustus took a deep breath: "Order the vanguard, hold on to Tully City, do your best to delay the opponent's attack, it is best to force the enemy's god mage to use magic, but it is not allowed to blindly resist stubbornly, when you are sure that you can't stop the enemy, immediately retreat to Sayashi City to join the main force." ”

"Yes, Legionnaire. ”

Soldiers rushed to the front with the orders of Augustus.

At this time, Vega did not know that Augustus had inherited Foster's 'Bull Knife' and was ready to test his depth here.

As soon as he landed, he led his army towards the city of Tully, which was the gateway to the east bank, and getting that medium-sized city meant that he could advance the battle line and retreat back to the west bank, which was a battleground for soldiers.

And in Vega's opinion.

With Augustus's character, it was absolutely impossible to place a heavy army in Tully City and directly engage in a decisive battle with him, because it was unclear whether he had a god-rank mage, and it was the most unwise decision to directly engage in a decisive battle.

In case there really is divine magic.

Didn't he just end it up in a pot?

So Vega easily concluded that the city of Tali had about 5-100,000 guards stockpiled to test his strength, and as long as he fought aggressively enough, this army would inevitably retreat immediately.

If you can keep these 100,000 soldiers here.

It is even possible that Augustus, who was directly frightened, fled directly back to the country.
