Chapter 415 Exploiting Weaknesses
boom!
A flame exploded, breaking the door of the underground warehouse.

Theon led the army to this spacious and huge underground warehouse.

Although this is just one of the warehouses, there are also mountains of food hoarded. He pushed aside a group of soldiers and came to the food in person.

Holding the sword of command.

Theon poked open one of the sacks with the edge of his sword, to make sure for himself that it was indeed the supply he wanted to destroy.

But when the sword went down, something happened that made Theon's smile freeze.

Generally speaking, under such circumstances, the grain would flow to the ground along the gap opened by him, but the situation now was completely different from what he had imagined.

The stream is indeed flowing down.

But what flowed down was not grain, but a pile of sand.

grains of sand?

Theon seemed to have thought of something, his face changed wildly, and he swung the command sword in his hand again and again, piercing the sacks one by one, trying to find even a grain of food, but all he saw were sand grains.

Why put sand in sacks as grain?
This kind of thing is already very clear, and Theon turned around immediately and shouted anxiously: "Retreat! Order the entire army to withdraw from the city immediately. We have been fooled. This is a trap."

What answered Theon was not the adjutant's affirmative answer, but a voice of shaking the ground.

boom boom-

The roar of magic came from overhead, and a burst of dust fell through the ceiling of the underground warehouse, making everyone feel ashamed. Theon even couldn't stand on the ground because of the huge vibration.

"Where is the magic bombing sound coming from?"

Xi En asked knowingly, and after asking, he didn't care about it, and quickly shouted to everyone: "Get out, get out, we are surrounded by enemies, this must be the trick of that brat."

boom.

Slamming open the door, Theon and his party rushed out of the underground warehouse.

But what came into view was a sea of ​​flames. His [-] soldiers were being dazed by the overwhelming arrows and magic. With the surrounding fires soaring into the sky, not only could they not organize an effective counterattack, they could not even discern the enemy's position .

It's over, it's over.

Theon couldn't even hold the sword of command firmly in his hand.

He looked at everything in front of him and fell into a state of dementia.

In this state, failure has become a foregone conclusion, because they are like tigers falling into a trap, no matter how hard they struggle, it is impossible to get out of the trap.

"So it is, so it is!"

Theon's regretful voice echoed, but unfortunately it was useless. Until this time, he finally cleared the fog and saw all of Vegar's plans and his brilliance.

There is no supply line, which is indeed Veigar's fatal point.

And he did catch Veigar's weakness, trying to use it to drag Veigar to death.

Later, Veigar's behavior of borrowing food from civilians, in his opinion, was even more a sign of suicide.

It was precisely after seeing this that he thought that Vega's situation was over, and he could carry out the final decisive battle.

But now it seems that this is obviously relaxing his vigilance.

Next, Vega ordered that the food from Nine Cities be transported to the city of Nora without concealment. This was probably a bait for him.

Immediately afterwards, he ignored the public opinion in Jiucheng and allowed his war spies to investigate the information in the city. Vega was probably deliberately exposing his flaws to him, telling him that he would never lose if he waged a war now.

In the end, the joint letter from the businessmen became another reassurance.

It can be said that this time, Veigar was really worried about him, for fear that he would not attack, and even the target location to be destroyed, detailed city information, and the personnel responsible for the response were clearly arranged for him.

Veigar gave him a nearly perfect battle plan.

Coupled with the current situation in the Black Gold City, and the frequent urging of the First Prince, in the end, he, a hungry wolf, couldn't control his impulse and jumped into the trap prepared for him by the enemy.

So the battle was lost.

Seeing flames falling from the sky toward his position, Theon slowly closed his eyes.

There is no need to struggle anymore.

The gate of this city must have been sealed, and the ambushing army has cut off all their escape routes. Even if he has three heads and six arms, it is absolutely impossible to break out of the encirclement, so there is no need to do this kind of unnecessary struggle.

"I've spent my entire life controlling my weaknesses."

"I thought that if you control your weaknesses, you will be invincible."

"But I didn't understand until now."

"Truly strong people never control weaknesses, they only exploit them."

"Unfortunately... I know too late."

boom--

The barrier of the earth mage was finally broken, and Theon completely disappeared in this world.

As Theon said.

Because of the situation in the Black Gold City and the urging of the First Prince, he is eager to calm down the downstream as soon as possible. This is his Achilles heel, but Theon is trying to control his weakness, waiting for Veigar to show his flaws.

Now Veigar is really showing his weakness.

These flaws are not fake.

Veigar is indeed short of food, and the civilians are indeed hating Veigar's army. These are all well-founded and true truths!

But Veigar did not try to control these weaknesses like him, but exposed his weaknesses to him openly, used these weaknesses to lure him into a trap step by step, and finally buried him here completely.

Veigar on the tall building showed a smile.

He looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him and muttered to himself, "Strength can become a weapon, weakness can also become a weapon, and the truth can even become a murder weapon. Theon, you should understand this."

Insufficient supplies.

This was his Achilles' heel, and Veigar knew it well, and he never deluded himself that his enemies didn't know.

Therefore, he took advantage of this fact to make it reasonable to search for civilians, and even the best detectives in the world would not be able to find out that he did it on purpose.

Therefore, "losing the hearts of the people" and "loosening the morale of the army" became his second Achilles' heel.

Veigar once again took advantage of this second weakness and ordered the businessman to write a joint letter to Theon. All of this is still reasonable, and there is no questionable point in the middle, because this is the truth.

Just as a lie needs countless lies to make up.

A weakness can also create countless weaknesses.

At this stage, Veigar was full of flaws all over his body, and he had prepared countless reasons for Theon to attack.

These real weaknesses and truths, after luring Theon, who was eager for success, fell into a trap, they all turned into murder weapons, and finally allowed Veigar to win the war.

The so-called make the best use of everything.

After taking advantage of these weaknesses, Veigar can also adopt the method of doubling the return of food to civilians to win over the hearts of the people. His behavior of repaying borrowed money and paying back the principal with interest can not only make the current negative impact disappear, but also win the hearts of the people. There is a good name for letters.

Don't forget, Veigar planted the foreshadowing of the "IOU" before.
