The cold wind is blowing.

The city of black gold has been shrouded in a layer of snow white.

A few dozen kilometers away from the Black Gold City, there was a large camp of Vega.

The two sides have been facing each other for more than three days, and Vega, who came in a hurry, did not choose to attack at the first time, because he did not think of a way to capture the Black Gold City, and he did not dare to guarantee a 100% victory rate if he attacked.

As for the side of the Black Gold City, let alone that.

Eskar knew that he was weak, and he was ready to fight a serious battle to defend the city, of course, it was impossible to lead the army to take the initiative to attack, and now that the weather was cold, the longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for them.

As the commander-in-chief.

Eskar knows how to exploit his strengths and avoid weaknesses and use his strengths to achieve victory.

In addition, Eskar has always been cautious and very confident, once he has decided on a strategic course, he will definitely go at his own pace, and it is difficult for ordinary officers to influence his will.

Vega was once one of Eskar's subordinates.

Therefore, he knows a lot about Eskar's character, and he understands that Eskar is not the kind of commander who is easily swayed by the opinions of others, which can be seen from the last time Eskar chose to trust him unconditionally despite the opinions of others.

But it was precisely because of the understanding that Vega frowned.

Eskar has the most cautious attitude, and a confident and even conceited combat mindset, which is in a sense very similar to Vega himself. Perhaps this is also the reason why Eskar has always had a good impression of Vega, and even regards Vega as a descendant, there is an idiom called 'smelly and like-minded'.

"It's really not an option. ”

Vega had been walking around the sand table all morning, but there was no progress.

At this time, Vega felt like he was shrouded in a fog, obviously he had been with Eskar for so long, and he had completely mastered the basic character, but he just couldn't find the flaws of the enemy.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles, this iron law seems to have lost its effect.

But in fact, this kind of thing is not without reason.

As the saying goes, you can't heal yourself, and other aspects may be very different, but in the command of the battle, Eskar's cautious psychology and tactical self-confidence are completely the same as Vega's, strictly speaking, like a mirror image in a mirror.

It is easy to overcome others, but it is quite difficult to overcome yourself.

After all, most people can only see their own strengths, but not their own shortcomings, so when Vega encounters an opponent who is very similar to him in terms of tactical command style, it seems a little helpless.

What throws bricks and leads jade, what makes a sound of hitting the east and west, and what is full of sky and sea...... These tricks and tricks were of no use to Vega's point of being a cautious and confident man like Eskar.

Because they only trust their own judgment.

Their tactical thinking, which is so confident that it is almost conceited, makes them not even doubt that their plans are feasible, even if the whole world says they are wrong.

Vega is like that.

The same is true of Eskar.

So when Eskar decided that defending the city would lead to victory in the war, no matter how tempted Vega was, it was impossible to change their will, unless Eskar himself intended to change his tactics, but this possibility was very small.

From yourself to others.

Vega himself has rarely done anything to deny himself, let alone Eskar?

Da Da Da –

Vega still circled around the sandbox, and another hour passed.

Qi Lisi, who was standing quietly on the side, saw that Vega was frowning and couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up and said, "Is there anything I can help with? ”

"Just a few trifles. ”

Vega glanced at Qi Lisi, then smiled and said, "If you are hungry, you can order the guards to bring some food, my share does not need to be prepared, there is no appetite in the afternoon." ”

Disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Although Vega was well disguised, after a year of training, Qi Lisi, who was very good at observing words and feelings, keenly noticed the perfunctory meaning in Vega's smile, and she didn't say anything, but ordered the guards to take two meals.

"Vega, let's have lunch first. ”

Chillis brought the food to the table and motioned for Vega to eat first.

However, this move of Chelis just interrupted a trace of inspiration that Vega had just found, which made Vega almost go berserk, but Vega was not the kind of person who couldn't suppress his emotions, he suppressed the irritability in his heart and said to Quilis: "Thank you." ”

No anger, no complaints.

The first is because Qi Lisi is out of good intentions, if he is angry, he will definitely chill people's hearts, and the second is that the wood is already in the boat, and at this time to get angry and complain will only be counterproductive, and it will not change the reality.

So after saying that, he began to eat.

"I'm sorry ......"

Qi Lisi also understood that she had good intentions to do bad things, so she carefully said sorry, Vega smiled sincerely at Qi Lisi when she heard this, and accepted Qi Lisi's apology.

But this meal Vega did not eat peacefully.

Halfway through the meal, the three uninvited guests broke into Vega's office without greeting them, which would be a challenge to the authority of a commander if it were placed on ordinary soldiers and officers.

Those who ignore authority should be put to death immediately.

But Vega didn't dare to do that at this time, because it was no one else standing at the door, but-

Chia Saint Laurent.

The nominally supreme queen of the dynasty took off her black cloak and hat, revealing a face that had conquered the country, and then stood in the doorway, followed by two guards.

"Xi, Xiya...... Your Majesty, why are you—how are you here?"

Vega's mouth opened wide, and there was an expression of disbelief in his eyes, according to Vega's plan, Xia had to sit in Saint Laurent as a mascot to stabilize the situation in the whole country, so that he could rest assured that he would be fighting on the West Bank for so long.

If Thea is missing.

Then the situation on the entire east coast will change immediately, and some dissenting nobles and high-ranking officials will even use this as an excuse to upset the court, because without the orthodox banner of Xiya, Ilo will not be able to use righteousness to control the overall situation.

It was also at this moment that Vega thought of many possibilities.

One of them was that something happened on the East Bank, so Thea had to flee from Yves Saint Laurent and come to the West Bank to pray for his protection. But it's almost impossible, how can there be a hole in his barrel-like layout on the East Coast, his plan so perfect that it is impeccable.

Same as Eskar.

Vega is very confident in his plans, and he is convinced that his plans will never go wrong.

So Vega looked at Thea, eagerly awaiting her answer.
