Chapter 142 Confused
The sky is slightly bright.

After a rest, and then a quick march, Vega and his troops finally approached the third army's garrison.

"Scout, provide a safe route."

"Report to the captain."

The scout looked at Vega and reported: "I found a patrol on East Street. I suggest bypassing the enemy's patrol from Administrative Street. Although it will be half an hour slower, Administrative Street has confirmed that there is no trace of the enemy."

"All troops, change the route to Administration Street."

According to the intelligence provided by the scouts, Veigar led the whole army to avoid contact with the kingdom's troops and marched towards the administrative street.

Pass through Administration Street.

What Veigar saw was devastation.

The potholed ground, the smell of burnt air, dilapidated buildings and shops, and...

Government buildings razed to the ground.

If it hadn't been for what Vega said with his own eyes, it would be hard for Vega to believe that the most prosperous administrative street in the former North District would have turned into such a look. It seems that some major buildings were the main targets of the Royal Army's bombing.

Not too many stops.

Veigar continued along the administrative street towards the direction of the army garrison.

This time there were no accidents. At about 7:[-] in the morning, Vega could already see the third army station.

"stop."

Vega gave the order to stop the march: "Team [-] and Team [-] follow me to investigate the specific situation. Team [-], Team [-] and others all find a hidden place and stand by."

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Veigar took 20 professionals and walked towards the barracks.

The reason why only 20 professionals are brought is because the professional troops are more mobile, as long as they are not too close to the magician, it is generally easy to avoid magic attacks.

on the other hand.

Vega deliberately left about 20 professionals on standby, naturally to restrain Captain Wolfe. After all, these 800 soldiers are under Captain Wolfe. When he runs away with all the soldiers, he will cry. Search everywhere.

In less than a few minutes, Veigar quietly approached the charred gate with two teams.

It can be seen that there is no royal army near the army station, only a few crows are singing, which seems a bit intrusive.

Walk through the door.

Everything was as expected.

Although the defense of the buildings in the military garrison is relatively high, under the carpet bombing, only the second floor of each building is still intact, and the higher floors have become ruins.

He deliberately lowered his steps.

Veigar led the professional brigade towards the headquarters building.

Along the way, the scorched corpse still gave off a disgusting stench, and several crows that were pecking at the corpse seemed not to be afraid of Veigar passing by, concentrating on grabbing the food on the ground.

Go up to the headquarters building.

Veigar discovered that apart from being bombed, he had also been raided by the Royal Army, because some officers and soldiers obviously did not die from magic bombing, but were killed by weapons that cut their throats or punctured their vital organs.

creak-

Veigar opened the door to the Lord Commander's office.

Shredded paper was piled all over the floor, the decorative porcelain was also broken all over the floor, and the drawers of the cabinets against the wall were all opened.

really……

Although I basically guessed some of the situation here, it is inevitable that I will be disappointed when I see it with my own eyes.

Judging from the current situation, Kareni no longer has any troops to resist the Royal Army. I am afraid that the only resistance is his professional brigade and Wolfe's 800 soldiers.

Moreover, it is a professional brigade, in fact, there is only one squadron left. As for Wolfe's troops, let alone, they can no longer be called regiments, at most one battalion plus one company.

Next.

Veigar circled the entire barracks and several military air-raid shelters, but still found nothing.

Especially when Veigar came to Army Airport.

On the large field, there is only a war airship that was blown up to scrap by the Royal Army. All the anti-air force of the Third Army was docked here, but now it has been burned.

Desire to kill thieves, powerless to return to heaven.

Seeing this, Veigar had no choice but to lead his subordinates out of the army garrison. There was no value in staying here. The northern front of the empire was really over.

You can even directly predict the next ending.

The Royal Army will use the city of Kareni as the base, and then radiate the small and medium-sized cities in the northern part of the empire. The combat method adopted is also very simple. The war airship first bombs for a day and a night, and then the airborne troops descend on the city. Just kill the rear headquarters and lose their brains The army is just a joke, and in the entire north, only a heavy city like Kareni has an air defense crystal hub.

Without air supremacy, the Imperial Army in each city is just a living target.

In his thoughts, Veigar had already returned to the army.

"Captain Veigar, what's going on?"

Wolfe was the first to greet him, and his eyes showed nervousness. As an officer who was extremely loyal to the empire, even if he sacrificed his life, he wanted to drive the Kingdom Army out of Kaleni City.

Veigar didn't speak, just shook his head.

Wolf saw Veigar shaking his head for a moment, and then his whole face turned livid.

Confusion appeared in his eyes. Without an order from his superiors, a middle-level officer like him would not even know whether to fight or retreat, because they lack the overall situation. This is the importance of the general headquarters in a war.

Once the general headquarters is lost, the army is like losing its brains.

Wolf froze for a few seconds, and then, as if he had caught a life-saving straw, he said excitedly: "Captain Veigar, what should we do next? Can we just wait for death quietly like this?"

Because Wolfe's voice was very loud, the surrounding soldiers could hear it clearly.

At this moment, everyone lowered their heads, the fighting spirit in their eyes disappeared, and the only thing left was confusion.

Fear of death and uneasiness about the future made them extremely depressed, because death is not scary, what is really scary is the process of waiting for death in endless despair.

"Cough cough..."

Veigar coughed twice, and he didn't immediately put forward the idea of ​​breaking out of the city, but said: "Everyone, let's rest first, and discuss everything after we have enough energy."

All soldiers obey orders mechanically.

But no one can fall asleep immediately, and the confusion about the future makes them unable to settle down and rest.

What Veigar wants is confusion.

Talking about breaking out and escaping now will inevitably be opposed by Wolfe and a small group of soldiers, but when the feeling of despair reaches its peak, no matter who gives any seemingly reasonable goal, he can get it. Everyone's support.

So Veigar was not in a hurry.

He quietly waited for the best opportunity to come. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gave a few instructions to the adjutant, and then walked towards the city gate alone. He needed more information.

Because if you want others to believe in your plan, you need to give feasible plans and evidence.
