Chapter 356
"Come back, come back to me!"

Tanier brandished his long sword, trying to make the soldiers who fled without authorization turn around and fight again.

But all is in vain.

The soldiers seemed to have seen the indescribable horror, and they had long lost the confidence to fight. If they continued to stay here, they would only ruin their lives in vain, so this scene of shouting and hugging appeared.

"Failed, failed again."

A few minutes ago, he was about to cut off Veigar's head, but in the next few minutes, he realized what it meant to be defeated like a mountain. With his ability, he was powerless to stop it all.

Even Tenniel doubted himself now.

Is he a qualified commander? Is he still worthy of the rank of 5-star general?

"Retreat, the whole army retreats."

After being forced to shout this sentence, Tanier seemed to have lost all fighting spirit, and his rosy face also turned pale.

The time to retreat is quick.

In less than an hour, the 1 troops had all withdrawn from the city of Saint Laurent.

When Tanier passed the city gate, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

After expending countless efforts, he finally broke through the heavy city gate from the front. He even arrogantly equated the victory of the war with breaking the city gate. Unfortunately, Vega's cold slap slapped his face, Tell him almost in a sneering tone——

A broken city does not equal a victory.

It is entirely conceivable what kind of smile is on that kid's face now.

"Is this... is his real strength?"

Tanier took a long look at the city gate, and finally withdrew the army out of the city.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was the first time in his life that he was taught what a real war is by an officer.

"Perhaps my time is over."

The back of Tanier on the horse looked particularly bleak. He had always longed for war and thought that even if he died, he would die on the battlefield, but he suddenly became tired of war.

The two major defeats had cast a shadow over the old general's mind.

At this moment, he even had the idea of ​​returning to the fields.

"But having given up the war, what is left of me?"

Just when Tenier lost his confidence, this sentence from the heart blurted out.

At the age of 15, he chose to join the army.

With a weak body, he got a place in the military academy, and since then he has embarked on the road of no return to the military. He has helped the beleaguered kingdom resist wars of aggression again and again, tasted the joy of victory, and fled embarrassingly because of failure.

At an almost seventy-year-old age, he was still dealing with the war.

In his life, he only knows how to fight a war, and he only knows how to fight a war. If he loses the war, what is left of him?
farming?grazing?Still in business?

It's a pity that he doesn't know how to use a hoe, how to drive cattle and sheep, and he doesn't know how to bargain.

Indeed it is.

He is such a useless person, he can only wield a long sword stupidly and stab the enemy's chest, and he only knows how to mechanically arrange tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the best attack position, the only business experience he has ever had It is still cruel to plunder the loser for nothing.

How can a useless person like him survive in this cruel society without war?

This thought made Tenniel shiver involuntarily.

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

Tanier almost blurted out that the moment he realized that he was about to be abandoned by the war, Tanier was terrified, and this fear was even better than death.

He spent half his life in the army.

Those who have no relatives and cannot be counted on their hands are political enemies.

He has no friends, and the one who knows him best is the general of the enemy country.

Without a wife, he is accompanied by a shadow mage who wants to cut off his head.

……

He doesn't have everything that others have, all he has is the ability to command a war, and now someone wants to deprive him of the right to command a war?

"This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen."

Bloodshot eyes filled Tanier's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "No one can deprive me of the right to continue to command the war. Whether you are a god or a devil, if you want to deprive me of everything, I, Tennier, will cut off yours." head!"

"Send the order down."

Tenniel said angrily: "Let Rocky continue with his plan, and tell him personally, people, you only lose when you give up fighting. As long as you keep fighting, we haven't lost yet."

This sentence was said to Rocky in the city, and it was also said to Tanier himself.

He hasn't lost yet. He still has more than 10 soldiers. He still firmly occupies the four satellite cities and besieged Vega in Saint Laurent. He is the one who really takes the initiative in the war.

The advantage lies with him, not Veigar.

and so--

He can't give up yet, he has to keep fighting, he hasn't lost yet.

----

boom!
When the city gate was heavily closed again.

With just a few words, Vega completed the reversal of victory and defeat, and successfully took advantage of the momentum of the whole city to make the Kingdom Army repeat the same mistakes as Kareni City. Under the trend of the general trend, the army was defeated like a mountain.

A smile appeared on Veigar's face because of this.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, this was the beating smile that Tenniel had imagined.

For one's own masterpiece, the victory of the war, shouldn't one smile to celebrate it?

Rightfully so.

The results of this battle are undoubtedly huge.

Although the kingdom did not lose many soldiers, nearly 1/3 of the high-level armed forces were wiped out, which made them unable to forcefully attack Saint Laurent City.

Of course, we cannot be blindly optimistic.

The so-called all people are soldiers, and they fight with a single impulsive force.

As long as the war is won, this momentum will be exhausted. If the Royal Army enters the city again in a few days, Veigar can guarantee that these civilians will no longer unite to fight against the enemy.

If it is said that marching and fighting is a one-stop effort, then it will decline, and it will be exhausted three times.

Then relying on words to organize the whole people to be soldiers is to work hard and exhaust them again.

Therefore, wars that rely on civilians can only be used occasionally, not based on this. After all, they are a group of untrained and undisciplined mobs.

The way to really win is to rely on regular troops.

But enough for today.

Veigar has already used this method to make the United Kingdom suffer once.

Of course, the most important thing is that the coronation ceremony can continue.

Although this ceremony has been seriously postponed, as long as the commoners don't mind the timing of the coronation, even if Sia is crowned in the middle of the night, Veigar doesn't mind at all, this is just a righteous ceremony after all.

It's just that this ceremony needs to be done in front of everyone to be effective.

Therefore, Veigar stood on the stage again and said a few words of encouragement, comforted the screaming civilians, and took advantage of the situation to let Shia walk out of the backstage and sit on the throne prepared in advance.

The coronation ceremony has officially begun.
