Chapter 321 Insufficient Troops
Time came to the second day.

Veigar, who had only rested for less than three hours, got up from the bed.

After he finished his breakfast, he started the busy aftermath work after the war.

While working on the aftermath, he also had to think about how to take Saint Laurent within seven days. The longer this time passed, the more time he would have to prepare for the main attack of the Royal Army in the port city.

That's right.

If not as expected, the news of the fall of Holy Glory City has already been sent to the desk of Saint Laurent City Command, and several other satellite cities are estimated to have begun full-scale martial law.

These are not the point.

What Vega was really worried about was that the request for help had been sent to the main force of the Royal Army in the city along the river by war airship.

Although the Royal Army's aviation unit was lost, there were not enough war airships to provide lightning support, and the land march would take one month and ten days, but there was not much time left for Vega.

If he can't capture the city of Saint Laurent within 7 days, and the entire defense system of Saint Laurent such as Saya, Twilight, and Half Moon within 15 days, then he will not have enough time to replenish his troops and build fortifications.

If the time to take down the defense system is postponed to one month.

Then even if the entire defense system is taken down, without sufficient preparation time, his final fate may be wiped out by the main force on the spot.

Then the problem is coming.

Can it really capture Saint Laurent in 7 days and the entire defense system of Saint Laurent in 15 days?
If Veigar speaks out about this idea, everyone will probably think he is crazy.

It is not too much to say that the difficulty is close to zero.

The city walls and gates made of forbidden magic stones are immune to all magic attacks. Five crystal hubs guard the airspace of Saint Laurent City. The towering war statue stands under the sky. Here is——

The capital of all ages, the city of Saint Laurent!
Even the huge Royal Army was helpless when facing the city of Saint Laurent. In the end, they relied on the method of taking down the satellite city and surrounding Saint Laurent, dragging it until Saint Laurent ran out of ammunition and food. long-standing city.

How long has the Royal Army besieged Saint Laurent?
This time can be traced back to the fall of the important city of Kareni in the north of the empire, when Vega had not yet gone to the Central Military Academy of the imperial capital.

That's true!

The United Kingdom has surrounded the city of Saint Laurent for nearly two years, and only stepped into the gate of Saint Laurent a few days ago.

And Vega actually wanted to capture the city of Saint Laurent within 15 days?

If this kind of behavior is spoken out, it will definitely be branded as arrogant.

Not to mention 15 days, even if it is 150 days, the enemy army is still defeated, and no commander dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can attack within a few hundred days.

Vega really can't guarantee that Saint Laurent can be captured in 15 days.

But sadly, he has no choice.

In order to complete this plan of "holding the emperor to command the princes", no matter how difficult this step is, he has to find a way to get through it.

Veigar put down the marker.

After turning over the detailed drawing of Saint Laurent's defense system, he walked out of the office.

He really has no good way now, and he finds that his strength is not enough to support future wars.

It has become an urgent problem to replenish fresh blood for combat troops.

How to replenish blood and increase the number of soldiers?
Veigar also had no clue.

Therefore, he was going to take a walk on the street to take a closer look at the situation in Shenghui City. After all, a practical tactic was not made up by hand, but largely derived from daily inspiration.

----

Accompanied by adjutants and guards.

Veigar walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked along the most prosperous central street of Shenghui City.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

Seeing a large group of people in front of him surrounding Princess Shia and the guardian knight Carol, Vega immediately became nervous. Shia Saint Laurent was the whole of his plan. If it hurts a little, it's okay.

Three steps and two steps.

When Veigar came closer, he found that this group of people was not looking for Shia's trouble.

The outer circle of the encirclement is the civilians of the Holy Dynasty, and the inner circle is the soldiers who escaped and were captured by the dynasty. Among them, there are many professionals and magicians hidden in the city, and they cry.

"Your Highness, you have finally come back to save us."

"We know that one day you will recover the Holy City."

"We have been waiting for this day for two full years."

"Long live Your Royal Highness, please drive away the Royal Army and avenge our dead compatriots."

"..."

Shia's sharp ears and gender let the commoners recognize her identity at a glance, and her appearance makes the commoners think that the imperial army is the reinforcements invited by the princess to counterattack the kingdom.Shenghui City can be recovered, and they no longer have to be oppressed by the Kingdom Army, all this is due to the princess.

When humans are helpless, they do behave in self-deception and grasp at the last straw.

Although Shia desperately explained that it was Vega's credit.

But the common people of the dynasty still believe that Vega was able to win the Holy City under the leadership of Shia. They have been oppressed for a long time and they urgently need a spiritual belief, and Shia, the royal princess, the prince who was conferred by the king himself is their belief .

A large group of soldiers began to kneel and beg Shia to take them back.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, the civilians on the outskirts also began to kneel on the ground and prepare to apply for joining the army.

It is a common problem of human beings to appreciate things only after they are lost.

In the past, they didn't know what was wrong with being a deserter when the war came, being a coward, acting as if it had nothing to do with them, and keeping silent... But after being oppressed, they finally understood a truth— —

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.

Although those on the periphery are just ordinary civilians, they already have a heart to fight for the country.

But in Carol's view, these people are unforgivable crimes, especially those deserters.

His angry voice overwhelmed the surrounding noises: "You cowards and deserters, you fled when the dynasty needed you most, and now you want to serve Her Royal Highness again? A guy with chivalry is not qualified to return to Her Royal Highness's side."

Carol's words dropped the atmosphere to freezing point.

Although they wanted to refute it, it was an indisputable fact that they ran away, remained silent, and allowed themselves to be slaughtered. They felt that they did not have the right to return to the princess. They stood up and prepared to leave in embarrassment.

Carol had a victorious look on his face.

He absolutely does not allow these defeated soldiers to tarnish the glory of the royal family.

But seeing this scene, Veigar was almost out of breath.

He worked so hard to take down the Holy City, and even wanted to take down Saint Laurent and the entire defense system, just to realize such a scene.Now that the seeds of this scene have been ignited, Carol wants to kill it in the bud?
Veigar immediately pushed aside the crowd and came to Shia's side.

He said to the people who were about to leave: "Warriors of the dynasty, please stop your steps. I am the commander in charge of commanding the imperial army and taking down the Holy City. I am also the one who was conferred by Her Royal Highness... the Holy Spirit... Dynasty military ambassador."

"Now."

Vega ascended and shouted: "As the military ambassador of the Holy Dynasty, I pray that all the warriors will regroup, give a heavy hammer to the despicable invaders, and completely drive the Kingdom Army out of our territory."

At this time, Veigar realized that this was an opportunity.

A heaven-sent opportunity to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, increase his popularity in the dynasty, form his own dynasty army, increase the number of soldiers, and take the second step of "recruiting troops" in the plan of "holding the emperor to command the princes".

He wants to seize this opportunity.

While establishing his legitimate position in the dynasty, he recruited enough troops to deal with the Saint Laurent War.
