The Holy Dragon Army was defeated.

The news of Augustus' hasty escape to the Holy Dragon City spread a few days later.

The major forces in the Jialan Continent were shocked by this.

It's not that they think Augustus can beat Vega, in the eyes of many forces, the war between Augustus and Vega is a sure thing.

The reason why they were shocked was:

Augustus was not defeated at the hands of the Jialan, but at the hands of an unspeakable rebel army.

From beginning to end, the Jialan Army only played a supporting role, and it was this rebel group that really fought against the Holy Dragon Army.

Although the Holy Dragon Army is all human soldiers this time, it is still a regular army no matter how it is said, and the rebel army has a pitiful number of high-level forces, and 99% of the soldiers are civilians.

In this case.

The Holy Dragon Army was still defeated.

The defeated Augustus fled to the Holy Dragon City with less than a hundred men in disarray, which can be said to be a complete defeat.

Therefore, most of the countries in the Jialan Continent were shocked by the war, but it has to be said that the Nolan Empire had no feelings about it, and they saw the end when the rebel army continued to grow and Augustus did not pay attention to it at all.

If you want to ask why......

Augustus's attitude is a complete copy of the Empire's treatment of the rebels.

I don't care about public opinion, I don't even send a regular army, I think that I can easily solve this useless rebel organization by using the security force, and the final bitter result is just like what I can see, and the empire has not been able to eradicate the cancer of the rebel army.

The path to victory varies, and the posture of defeat is the same.

With a gloating attitude, the Empire sat back and watched Augustus flee to the Holy Dragon City in disarray, which was also what the Imperial Army was happy to see.

Because the Empire did not feel that Augustus would be able to defeat Vega's Jialan Army, and after the destruction of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Vega would inevitably use force against the Empire, in this case, the Empire certainly thought that the more chaotic the situation, the better.

The rebels, on the other hand, are the source of the chaos.

Therefore, at this time, the rebel army in the city of Gasili became the presence of high hopes of the empire.

They hope that a third party will intervene to make this war, which has no suspense, confusing.

Now that Augusta has fled to the Holy Dragon City, and the rebels are sitting on Gasili, if the Jialan Empire wants to gain a foothold there, it must first deal with the rebels who occupy Gasiri City, which is beyond doubt.

Who will win when the Dragon Slayer Organization fights with the Jialan Army?

Perhaps many countries on the continent thought that the rebels would be defeated, but the empire was the only one who did not think so.

As a great power that has not been able to destroy the rebels so far, the empire knows how disgusting the rebels are, and they can't be killed or extinguished, like a kraft candy.

Therefore, in the opinion of the empire, the rebels and the Jialan army are fighting, and the victory or defeat is not yet known.

In the final analysis, Vega is good at winning the hearts of the people, and slapping the enemy to death with a slap in the face when he occupies the righteousness and gets the initiative. The commander of this rebel army seems to have the same thing as Vega, both like to win over the hearts and minds of the people, and even use guerrilla tactics with ease.

In this case.

The empire believed that there would be a battle between the city of Gaciri.

But something unexpected happened to the Empire -

The Jialan Army abandoned Gasiri City and made a detour to the north, with the blade of the sword pointing directly at the Holy Dragon City.

What does that mean?

If it weren't for the fact that this piece of information had been confirmed, the Empire would not have believed its eyes.

Because for the Jialan Army, Gasili City is an important hub to communicate with the Jialan Kingdom branch led by Qi Lisi, and it is also the only springboard for attacking the eastern territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Entering the Northern Holy Dragon City without getting the city of Gasili?

This is like a big tree that has lost its roots, and the 500,000 Jialan army will be reduced to a rootless ping, it is no exaggeration to say that the city of Gasiri is the lifeblood of the Jialan army's attack this time, and the Jialan army will give it to the rebels?

Any general understands that putting his lifeline in the hands of other forces is tantamount to asking for his own death.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the rebels hijack the supply troops a little, the 500,000 Jialan army will be all over.

So here's the problem.

Will Vega make such a mistake that even ordinary generals won't let go?

Everyone has the answer in their minds – absolutely not.

Since Vega would not make such a mistake, why would it be a detour to the city of Gasili?

The Imperial Staff gave three speculations –

First, the rebels in the city of Gasiri are simply the work of Vega himself.

The evidence is that the rebels' combat style is very similar to that of Vega, and there are countless similarities that can be found in it.

Second, Jialan has secretly contacted the rebels and reached a cooperative relationship.

Compared with the rebel army, the number one enemy of the Jialan Army is, of course, the Holy Dragon Army, and the enemy of the rebel army is also the Holy Dragon Army.

Under this premise, the Jialan Empire cooperated with the rebels, so that he could make a bold detour north to the Holy Dragon City without worrying that the rebels would make waves in the rear and cut off his back route.

The third is what I said earlier.

Vega, who had achieved fame, went downhill and, like Augusta, looked down on the rebels from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, it is believed that instead of bothering to fight a war with the rebels, it is better to take a detour to pursue Augustus, wait for the destruction of the Holy Dragon Army, and it is not too late to go back and clean up this rebel army.

The Führer first excluded the third.

This kind of speculation without evidence cannot be believed at all.

The first is possible, but the Führer still excludes it.

Although the fighting style of the rebel army is very similar to that of the Jialan Army, since Vega became famous, there are countless commanders who imitate Vega, and there is a commander who imitates it to Dacheng also said in the past.

Other than that.

If the rebels were really caused by Vega, and Vega did not intend to make it public, then under the pretext of forming an alliance, it was entirely possible to use the city of Gasiri instead of being forced to make a detour to the southwest, which was a threefold difference in time.

In marching and fighting, the importance of time is self-evident.

Therefore, the reason why Vega failed to borrow Gasiri is obvious, although the rebels have reached a cooperative relationship with Vega, but they are afraid that Vega will occupy the magpie's nest, so they dare not let Vega borrow Gasiri City.

The Führer has already decided.

The Jialan Army and the rebel army launched a preliminary cooperation, the Jialan army abandoned Gasiri and marched directly into the Holy Dragon City, while the rebel group was wary of the Holy Dragon Army, and at the same time hoped to delay the offensive pace of the allied Jialan army and win time for its own development.

But is it really what the Imperial Staff Committee says?

Apparently not.

Rather, the detour was intentional.
