Imperial Army, Command.

Foster's camp was placed about 200 miles away from the war city, which was neither far nor close in Foster's opinion, whether it was to prevent the rebels from jumping over the wall or to engage in a frontal battle, he had the absolute initiative.

"Your Excellency General, it's been a month, do we have to wait?"

The tone of a division commander seemed a little impatient.

It was the first time he had served under Foster's account, and he was not very familiar with Foster's marching style, so he really couldn't understand why he didn't take the initiative to attack the city of war and win the war directly, even though he had an absolute advantage.

"Please be still. ”

Forster smiled, and did not answer the division commander's question, he turned to the officer in charge of intelligence and said, "Your Excellency, please report to you about the current situation in the city of war. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The Major General picked up a stack of papers and said: "The latest information, the number of demonstrators marching in the City of War is increasing day by day, blocking the door of the rebel headquarters almost every day, demanding the surrender of the rebel leader Coverdale. ”

"This group of Diao people, sure enough, if they have milk, they are mothers. ”

"We just make a promise, give a little benefit, and they believe it, hahaha. ”

A staff officer sneered: "It's just that what these Diao people don't know is that the benefits of the empire are not so easy to take, and when the war is over, there are these people who are good-looking, and when the time comes, one will count as one, and don't even think about running away." ”

The intelligence officer smiled and did not participate in the topic, but continued: "Second, the rebel army has more and more deserters, from more than a million people at the beginning to less than 500,000 now, and the whole army is disheartened, and officers at all levels have also forced the leader Coverdale to surrender to us, and Coverdale gradually can't resist the pressure. ”

"I see. ”

The division commander who asked Forster a question suddenly realized: "Your Excellency, the reason why you besiege but not attack is because you want the enemy to break down and win this war without a single soldier?"

Foster smiled, still not replying.

But the implication could not have been more obvious, and Foster could clearly see through the rebels' lives at a glance.

Ultimately.

The rebels were just on the cusp of the storm, following the will of the people, and at that time, the number of rebels killed in the war was a matter of days, and more civilians would join them. Now that several of the Empire's policies have appeased the people, losing the support of the common people is equivalent to a pool of living water being cut off from its source and becoming a pool of stagnant water.

At this time, it is true that the offensive can be won, but losses are inevitable.

Therefore, instead of attacking, it is better to wait here for the rebel army to collapse internally, and then win without a fight.

War is how it should be fought.

If it's that imp, you'll definitely use this strategy.

Foster unconsciously contrasted himself with Vega.

But it didn't take long for him to remember the battle on the east bank of the dynasty, which made him bow his head in shame.

The empire has identified that the scene in the video was faked by a high-ranking mage, which means that there is no god-rank mage in the Jialan Empire at all, and everything is that little ghost bluffing and deceiving the entire Jialan Continent.

"If I had believed Haussmann at the time......"

Foster clenched his fists: "If you choose to believe, maybe that little ghost has been beaten into a place of no return, and I personally sent away the heaven-sent opportunity, next time I apologize to Hausman, I hope he can forgive me and return to the empire." ”

"Lord Commander?"

"Lord Commander!"

The intelligence officer screamed twice in quick succession before Foster's thoughts were brought back.

Seeing that Foster had finally come out of his contemplation, he hurriedly continued to report: "In addition to these two pieces of information, in fact, the lower officer also has a third piece of information about the rebels. ”

"And the intelligence?"

A flash of curiosity flashed in Foster's eyes, he really didn't guess anything else about the rebels.

The intelligence officer nodded and said, "We know that the rebels have sent letters for help to the Western Freedom Alliance, the city-state of Gunti, and the Jialan Empire during this month. ”

Let's do it—

The pen in Foster's hand fell to the ground.

He stared at the intelligence officer, and said very nervously, "The Jialan Empire has made a move?"

"We have not received any information about the movement of the Jialan army towards us, and the West has not sent troops to help the rebels, but has directly suspended material assistance to the rebels. "The intelligence officer reported it truthfully.

"Whew-"

Foster let out a long sigh, he found that he didn't know when, cold sweat actually broke out on his forehead, which made him a little annoyed and angry: "The Jialan Empire has just ended the war, and the country is full of holes, how can it be possible to aid the rebels, this time the rebels are obviously helpless to ask for help from the Three Kingdoms, and they are dying and struggling, so they don't need to pay attention to them." ”

"But ......"

The intelligence officer stopped talking, but still said worriedly: "But there is a suspicion that the subordinate officials can't figure out, and the rebel army sent an envoy to ask for help from the Jialan Empire again ten days ago. ”

Foster's heart lifted again.

He immediately asked, "This time, did the Jialan Army send troops to support the rebels?"

"There was still no movement, and it seemed that the rebels had been rejected again. ”

After thinking about it, the intelligence officer replied, "But the envoy has brought back about fifteen people from the Jialan Empire, and since these fifteen people are all wearing cloaks and masks, we have no way of knowing their identities. ”

"Fifteen?"

Foster frowned: "Now it is known that there are no god-rank mages in the Jialan Empire at all, and the only star-rank mage, Thea Saint Laurent, has also made frequent appearances in the national capital Saint Laurent City recently. In this case, even if these fifteen people are all high-level mages, they can't pose any threat to us, and in terms of the number of high-level mages, we can fight for another fifteen high-ranking mages. ”

Tick tick tick –

Foster thought for a few more minutes, he thought about it, and finally identified these 15 people as the Jialan Empire was annoyed by the rebels, and finally took 15 people to perfunctory the rebels.

Although this speculation is extremely illogical.

But the only thing Foster could think of was this plausible explanation.

And what can fifteen people do? It's too much to bother with such a thing.

Therefore, Foster said to everyone: "I don't think there is any need to pay attention to this matter, since you are all aware of the latest information, then please be patient and wait for the victory to come, and don't mention any more offensive matters." ”

"Xia Guan understands. ”

The crowd immediately nodded yes and began to wait optimistically for victory as Forster had ordered.

And the decision of the Imperial Army is exactly what Vega wants.

It is an eternal truth that the outside must first be settled, and Vega now needs time to settle inside.
