Chapter 461 Unexpected
The cold wind is howling.

The city of black gold has been covered with a layer of white.

Tens of kilometers away from the city of black gold, there is a big camp of Vega.

The confrontation between the two sides has lasted for more than three days. Veigar, who came in a hurry, did not choose to attack immediately, because he did not think of a way to capture the city of black gold, and he could not guarantee a 100% winning rate if he attacked by force.

Not to mention the Black Gold City side.

Escal knew that he was weak, and he was ready to fight a serious battle to defend the city. Of course, it was impossible to lead the army to take the initiative to attack. Moreover, the weather is cold now, and the longer the delay, the better for them.

as commander-in-chief.

Escal knows how to exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use his strengths to win.

In addition, Escal has always been cautious and very confident. Once he decides on a strategic policy, he will definitely go at his own pace. It is difficult for ordinary officers to influence his will.

Veigar used to be Eskar's subordinate.

Therefore, he has a good understanding of Escal's character, and he understands that Escal is not the kind of commander who is easily influenced by other people's opinions. This can be seen from the last time Escal ignored other people's opinions and chose to trust him unconditionally .

But it is precisely because of understanding that Vega is frowning.

Eskar has the most cautious attitude, as well as a confident and even conceited combat thinking, which is very similar to Veigar himself in a sense.Perhaps this is also the reason why Escal has always had a good impression of Veigar, and even regarded Veigar as a direct descendant. There is an idiom called "smells like each other".

"It's really not an option to procrastinate like this."

Veigar has been wandering around the sand table all morning, but has made no progress at all.

At this time, Veigar felt as if he was shrouded in a fog. He had been with Eskar for so long and had a complete grasp of his basic character, but he just couldn't find the enemy's flaws.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and win every battle, this iron law seems to have lost its effect.

But in fact, this kind of thing is not without reason.

As the saying goes, doctors do not heal themselves, and other aspects may be very different, but in the command of the battle, Eskar's cautious psychology and tactical confidence are completely the same as Vega, strictly speaking, it is like a mirror image in a mirror.

It is easy to defeat others, but it is quite difficult to defeat yourself.

After all, most people can only see their own strengths, but cannot fully see their own shortcomings, so when Veigar meets an opponent whose tactical command style is very similar to his own, it seems a little helpless.

What throwing bricks to attract jade, what smacking east and west, what crossing the sky and the sea... Vega believes that all these tricks and tricks will be useless in front of a cautious and confident person like Eskar.

Because they only trust their own judgment.

Their self-confident and almost conceited tactical thinking makes them never doubt whether their plan is feasible, even if the whole world says they are wrong, they will insist on going their own way.

Vega is like that.

So is Escal.

So when Eskar believed that defending the city would win the war, no matter how Veigar tempted them, it was impossible to change their will, unless Eskar himself planned to change his tactics, but this possibility was very small.

From oneself to others.

Veigar himself has rarely done anything to deny himself, let alone Escal?

Da da da--

Veigar was still circling the sand table in circles, and another hour passed in this wandering.

Qi Lisi, who was standing quietly by the side, saw Vega frowning, and couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and said, "Is there anything I can do to help? If you have something on your mind, you might as well tell me and let me help you .”

"Just some trifles."

Vega glanced at Qi Lisi, then smiled and said, "If you're hungry, you can ask the guards to bring some food. I don't need to prepare my portion. I don't have much appetite in the afternoon."

Disappointment flashed in Qi Lisi's eyes.

Although Veigar's disguise was very good, after a year of training, Qi Lisi, who is very good at observing words and expressions, keenly discovered the perfunctory meaning in Veiga's smile. She also wisely didn't say anything, but ordered the guards to take Ordered two meals.

"Vegar, let's have lunch first."

Qi Lisi brought the food to the table and signaled Vega to eat first.

However, Qi Lisi's move happened to interrupt the sliver of inspiration that Vega had just found, which made Vega almost go berserk. It was simply that Vega was not the kind of person who couldn't suppress his emotions. He suppressed the irritability in his heart and said to Qi Liz said, "Thank you."

No anger, no complaints.

The first is because Qi Lisi is out of kindness. If he gets angry, he will definitely chill people's hearts.

So after speaking, he began to eat.

"Sorry……"

Qi Lisi also understood that she had done bad things with good intentions, so she apologized cautiously. Vega smiled sincerely at Qi Lisi when she heard the words, and finally accepted Qi Lisi's apology.

But this meal Veigar did not eat well.

Just halfway through eating with Qi Lisi, the three uninvited guests broke into Vega's office without even saying hello. If it was placed on ordinary soldiers and officers, it would be provocative to a commander. authority.

Anyone who disregards authority deserves immediate death.

But at this time, Vega did not dare to do this, because the person standing at the door was none other than——

Sia Saint Laurent.

The nominally supreme queen of that dynasty took off the hat of her black cloak, revealing an alluring face, and then stood pretty at the door, followed by two guards.

"Hi, Shia...Your Majesty, you, why did you appear here?"

Veigar opened his mouth wide, with an unbelievable expression in his eyes. According to Veigar's plan, Shia must sit in Saint Laurent as a mascot to stabilize the situation in the whole country, so that he can rest assured to fight on the West Bank for so long.

If Shia disappeared.

Then the situation on the entire east bank will change immediately, and some dissident noble officials will even use this as an excuse to turmoil the court, because without the orthodox banner of Xi Ya, Yiluo cannot use righteousness to control the overall situation.

Also at this moment, Veigar thought of many possibilities.

One of them is that something happened on the east bank, so Shia had to flee from Saint Laurent and come to the west bank to pray for his protection.But this is almost impossible. How could there be loopholes in his iron-drum-like layout on the east bank and his impeccable plan.

Same as Escal.

For his own plan, Veigar is very confident, he firmly believes that his plan will never go wrong.

Therefore, Vega looked at Shia, eagerly waiting for her answer.
