Chapter 414
City of Nera.

This is Veigar's granary.

Generally speaking, as a granary city, it must be strictly guarded against death, and strive not to fly in.

But what can be seen now is that the lazy guards are squatting on the wall and dozing off, and the guards performing patrol duties have moved a wooden box from nowhere and are gathering crowds to gamble in the corner.

The only ones who are still loyal to their jobs are scouts.

They are acting as "human flesh cameras" on the only roads that must pass through the city, but if you follow them for a long time, you will find that they have not moved a step for several hours.

"It's really a third-rate army."

Theon who got this series of news shook his head.

Now, in his opinion, although Veigar had a great reputation, it was almost impossible to win this war with such a group of slow-moving recruits.

The so-called soldiers are expensive and not expensive.

What senior generals are most afraid of is not how strong the enemy is. What really makes them fail is often incompetent subordinates who make mistakes in details. Now Veigar's army obviously fits the image of his "pig" teammates.

"Commander, the enemy's eyeliner has been cleaned up."

A shadow mage suddenly appeared in front of Theon, and then reported to Theon that all the scouts had been killed, allowing the large army to attack the city of Nora.

"Signal the war airship to carry out magic bombing."

According to Theon's conventional combat method, first let the war airship plow the land, and after the round of bombing is over, the rich businessmen in the city who received his reply early will open the city gate in the chaos, and they can take the city of Nora without any effort .

This is a war without difficulty.

Even without those wealthy businessmen cooperating with each other, Sean thought that the [-] people he brought could easily overwhelm Veigar's mob. For this surprise attack, Sean brought [-] elite troops.

boom boom-

As the vanguard, the war airship is very fast. Under Theon's order, it has carried out carpet bombing on the towers and target areas of Nera City, and the flames can be seen far away.

"Master Commander, it's almost time."

The lieutenant, keeping an eye on the time, reminds Theon that he can order an attack.

In order not to accidentally injure friendly troops, the war airship will only bomb for about an hour before the army enters the city. After an hour, they will retreat directly, and the rest of the mission belongs to the army.

"Ahem, let's go in... attack."

Xi En suddenly felt a chill behind him, so his voice paused.

Although he was a little uneasy for no reason, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just thought that the temperature difference between night and day was too different. Coupled with the long-distance march, he was already in poor health and couldn't support it.

Da da da--

With neat steps, the whole army advanced steadily.

One hundred thousand is a scary number.

Although Nera City is very close to Gray Crow City where Veigar's main force is located, and it only takes half a day to get there, under the fierce attack of his group army, it is impossible to support the arrival of Veigar's main force.

Theon knew exactly this.

It was only then that he unscrupulously led the army to launch an attack on Nera, without fear of being delayed outside the gate of Nera city, and finally cut open from the flank by Vega's main force who rushed over after receiving the distress signal.

"My lord, the city gate has been opened."

The adjutant reported to Theon as soon as he received the news: "It's the merchants who sent us letters! They took advantage of the sudden attack of our war airship, killed the soldiers guarding the city, and opened the city gate."

"Hahaha! Good good!"

Xi En laughed heartily, and even said three good words: "A good man will help you a lot, but a wrong man will help you a lot. That little brat made a lot of mistakes and shouldn't interfere with the interests of civilians and businessmen at a critical moment."

He never dared to underestimate civilians.

Although those civilians seem harmless, cowardly, and worthless, that's only if you don't infringe on their interests. Once you infringe on their use, they will keep it in mind and go to you at critical times. Heart sent a knife.

"Attack! For victory!"

Although Theon was old, his rather powerful voice echoed, officially kicking off the prelude to this war.

boom boom-

The magic is roaring, the banner is shaking.

The army drove straight in, and they all entered the city in less than 20 minutes, without encountering any obstacles during the period.

This is also of course.

Theon, who rushed into the city following the crowd, looked around and was not disturbed because he couldn't see the enemy, because under the sudden attack of the magic airship, the defenders here probably lost their way to the north, so how could they reorganize their forces? Come fight back.

Although Theon didn't know how many troops Veigar put in the city of Nora.

But even if this kind of thing is guessed, it is known that there will not be more than [-] people.

The 10 mobs were pure recruits. This kind of recruits encountered a large-scale air raid and was rushed into the city gate by his [-] army. Even a prestigious officer could not let him regroup.

Most likely right now.

These chaotic soldiers have fled in all directions, took off the military uniforms they once regarded as glory, and then hid in the dark corners of the city shivering, waiting for the end of the war.

This is the so-called recruit.

They are even more useless than cannon fodder. They may exert 100% of their strength when they gain a huge advantage, but once they are suppressed or enter a desperate situation, they will collapse without fighting.

The strong die of desire.

The weak die of despair.

They are the real weaklings, weaklings who are doomed to fail if they despair.

Even an officer with outstanding command ability would not dare to command such a weak person. At least Theon would rather command a group of cannon fodder troops than take a recruit to a crucial war.

I think I have seen through this army completely.

After Theon rushed into the city, he ordered a large force to rush towards the underground warehouse that had been detected beforehand.

That underground warehouse holds all of Veigar's supplies.

As long as it is destroyed there, he can defeat Veigar without a single soldier. When Veigar is defeated, the people of Nine Cities will personally tear him into pieces, and he can even use this opportunity to open a position. Give food and win people's hearts.

It's close, it's close.

With the advancement of 10 people, nothing along the way can stop his footsteps.

Now under the flickering light of the fire, he could already see the entrance of the underground warehouse with his naked eyes.

Go up to the army and plan.

Theon had already entered a state of complacency ahead of time.

After this battle, his soldiers lost less than 100 people, but the goal he achieved was to send the entire 20 army led by Veigar to hell.

This level of record, no matter what, can be regarded as a legend, right?
