Chapter 416: Strength Greatly Increased
The city of Nara was victorious.
This news greatly encouraged the three armies, which were already in a bit of a decline, and the previous rumors of imminent defeat due to the lack of food caused by the plundering of civilian food were self-defeating.
Stand to reason.
All the soldiers saw Vega's plundering of civilians as a ploy to lure the enemy into a trap, and they could not fail because of such a trivial matter as lack of food, and the image of Vega's invincibility was even more lofty in the hearts of the people.
But there is bitterness and self-knowledge.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Vega knew his situation very well, and he was far from being as glamorous as his subordinates imagined.
First of all.
Although he won the war, the crisis of food shortage was not resolved, and he still owed a lot of debt to the civilians, which he could not afford to repay the food owed to the civilians with interest until he captured the Great Stone City.
Not only can it not be repaid.
Vega also had to use the looted grain to save money until he actually captured the Great Stone City.
This is destined to be a protracted war.
After all, with Theon's experience, as long as the commander who takes over the downstream battle situation is not too stupid, he will definitely stick to it like a frightened bird, and Vega is most afraid of such a stubborn way of fighting.
In this way, there is no other way than conventional warfare.
And now he is still in a state of losing the hearts of the people, and once the army is poured out, some groups that try to subvert his rule may incite the civilian population to lose his rear and become rootless.
Don't underestimate the power of civilians.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and if Vega dares to plunder their food and infringe on their interests, these harmless civilians and those capitalists dare to take up swords, guns and clubs and hammer you.
Of course.
Victory in a war cannot be done with only bad and no good.
In this battle, more than 20,000 enemies were annihilated, 30,000 escaped from the chaos, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers were captured.
These 50,000 captured soldiers are not to waste the few reserves of food in Vega, these captured soldiers are themselves the subjects of the Holy Dynasty, and Vega only needs to disrupt them into the headquarters, which is equivalent to indirectly enhancing his own strength.
Other words.
Now Vega's army has skyrocketed by 50,000 men, bringing the total number to 250,000.
These 50,000 captives are not so-called recruits, but elite soldiers who have experienced large and small wars, and their addition not only directly enhances the combat effectiveness of the Vega army, but also increases the enthusiasm of the entire army.
Why?
As far as you can see, there is a significant difference between daily training and normal training.
The difference is that the soldiers of the Vega headquarters, as the victorious side, are no match for these newly incorporated captive soldiers in their daily training, and in one-on-one confrontation training, the soldiers of the headquarters or even two of them may not necessarily win the captured soldiers.
Formation training is even more unbearable.
The soldiers of Vega's headquarters will only drag the captured soldiers back, and the evaluation of excellent soldiers on weekends is almost covered by the newly recruited captive soldiers and the Imperial soldiers in the hands of Vega, and there is no sign of recruits at all.
It's all about dignity.
In the army, the soldiers regard glory as life.
As the soldiers of the victorious side, they are not as good as these defeated captive soldiers, doesn't this mean that they are almost useless when they leave Vega, and they are not even worthy of being commanded by a genius general like Vega.
This great sense of shame weighed down the whole army.
Therefore, in the usual training, the recruits of the Vega headquarters began to start a ruthless attack, and they trained desperately, and even after the training was over, they spent more time than the captured soldiers to redouble the training.
It's only been less than half a month.
In the weekly evaluation of outstanding soldiers, although the number of these recruits is still less than that of Imperial soldiers and captured soldiers, it has more than tripled compared to half a month ago.
Seeing this, Vega smiled with satisfaction.
These are his masterpieces, including the integration of captured soldiers into the headquarters and participation in daily training, as well as the weekly evaluation of outstanding soldiers.
This move turned out to be very meaningful.
No one likes to be trampled under the feet of the former loser, and now Vega's army finally has a certain combat effectiveness, although it is still far from the elite troops, but it is also close to the level of the backbone troops.
Vega looked down at the soldiers from the high platform.
He muttered to himself: "To unite a group of people, it is really not a wise leader who needs to be united, but a powerful enemy, the former passively accepting and inefficient, and the latter taking the initiative and doing twice the result with half the effort." ”
There is such an excellent enemy as a "captive soldier".
Vega's army is indeed difficult to think about if it is not strong.
Not to mention the direct or indirect increase in the combat power of the army, Vega himself has also gained a lot in this battle.
More than 20,000 lives directly made him promoted.
The median pro is the current Viga pro level, which means that with his current magic power limit, he can learn more magic and combat skills, and if you don't take into account the consumption of magic, you can apply at least 3 more combat skills in battle.
Other words.
Vega can add 6 powerful buffs to himself for a long time without worrying about the mana depleting prematurely.
Therefore, Vega immediately ordered his subordinates to find some combat skill rune pages, so that he could choose three combat skills to focus on and use as the main combat method for the next period of time.
Because after the promotion.
Vega found that he was still quite far from being a high-ranking professional, and estimated that these combat skills would be used for a long time.
In addition to the professional rank.
Vega's mage level has finally increased, and now he has the strength of a lower mage.
It's just that this time the promotion came naturally, and he didn't encounter the bottleneck of the last promotion to the professional, which made Vega quite puzzled, or is the bottleneck of the magician not in the lower magician?
Vega didn't dig too deep, after all, it was a good thing to be able to advance.
Now he can officially start the study of mid-level and lower-level magic, and the power of middle-level magic can be different from that of low-level 1-5 magic, which can be seen from the difference between firefall and fireburst of fire elemental mages.
Although it was promoted.
But it's hard to learn new magic in a short period of time.
Because the Shadow Mage is a scarce class, it is correspondingly difficult to collect high-level magic rune pages.
After all, magic above level 3 is difficult to replicate with the current process.
Moreover, there are only some important cities where the magic rune pages are sold, and now the magic rune pages in the east bank are basically looted by the kingdom army, and Vega can only put his hope in the city of the boulder.
Because this important city on the west bank has not yet fallen.
Vega kept this in mind, and the sense of impending crisis made him desperate to improve his strength.
This sense of crisis does not come from the West Bank of the Dynasty, but from the Empire.
It is well known that the Empire has a feared organization - the Legion of Judgment.
This organization is only responsible for trying a few criminals who disobey the verdict, including treason, and they will hunt you down even if you flee to the ends of the earth, and it is rumored that you have never missed.
When the dynasty was unified, Vega married Thea with great merit.
Then his wolf ambition will also be detected by the Empire, and when the time comes, the Empire will inevitably order the Judgment Legion to clean up the traitors, he doesn't feel that ordinary guards can protect him, Vega has always believed only himself.
