Chapter 603

The mourner will win.

This idiom comes from an article in the Tao Te Ching titled 'The mourner wins'.

The mourning here does not mean despair. It is simply a fantasy for soldiers in despair to win the war. Therefore, the mourning soldiers here refer to the army that has been bullied and fought for justice with passion. Must be able to win.

Sense of shame and then courage.

It is precisely because of being constantly belittled, bullied, and insulted that he was able to break out all his previous fighting power and defeat enemies that were several times, or even dozens of times stronger than himself.

Haven't the Imperials lost enough?

It has been defeated so much that it cannot be counted in two hands.

Haven't the Imperials been bullied enough?
The scene of the slaughter of comrades-in-arms, relatives, and friends in the Holy Dragon Kingdom is still vivid in my mind.

Hasn't the empire been insulted enough?
From being favored by various countries to being pessimistic, repeated failures make them extremely eager to win.

Therefore, in Vega's view, this war can be won with one eye closed, and there is no need to think about how to win by surprise.

If it is really as simple as Vega said, then why can't the empire get rid of the curse of repeated defeats, and is still mired in the quagmire of defeat in the war, and there is no way to take the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?
This should be because Escal did not find the key to victory.

What is the key to victory in this war?
That's right, morale!

If the more than 150 million soldiers hadn't lost their morale, would rather die than take a step back in the face-to-face confrontation with the flying dragon army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and if the enemy was about to leave, and they could desperately hold them back, this war would have ended long ago.

But what about reality?
As soon as the Holy Dragon Kingdom attacked, tens of thousands of people died on the side of the empire, and the soldiers began to fear. They regarded the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom as an invincible scourge, and then there was a large-scale rout.

Failed again and again.

The hearts of the soldiers have been cast out of the shadows.

Every soldier thinks that he still has room to retreat, so no matter how many troops are added, those who should flee will still flee. The retreat of a soldier will cause a domino effect.

As in an avalanche, no snowflake considers itself responsible.

What Vega needs to do now is to make every soldier realize that they have no way out.

Either fight or die.

Since relying on violence, military regulations, and military officers can no longer restrain the army, it is better to do the opposite and let the soldiers actively request war. When every soldier realizes his situation and fights for himself, they will still flee. ?

Absolutely not.

Just like a father who would swear to defend his family in the face of a catastrophe, the soldiers of the empire now need Vega to awaken their belief in fighting to the death. As long as this belief is awakened, only 50 soldiers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom are no problem.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, what should I do?"

Escal asked with puzzled eyes, although Vega's analysis allowed him to find the core of the problem, but the specific implementation steps were at a loss.

Let the soldiers take the initiative to fight?
Is it really possible for such a thing to happen?

I don't know it from other officers, but from Veigar the answer is yes.

He ordered to Escal: "Please make a large number of copies of this leaflet, and then let the war airship airdrop these leaflets to every corner of the city at three o'clock in the morning. When the sun rises tomorrow, I want every soldier and civilian to Hand a flyer."

With puzzled eyes, Escal took the flyer.

Originally, Escal thought that Vega was going to use the leaflets to promote something, but what Escal did not expect was that the signature of this leaflet was actually the headquarters of the Flying Dragon Legion of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

What is written on the leaflet?
To sum up, there are only two points.

The first is to inform the whole city that they will start another war within five days. This time they are bound to win the Oasis City. After they get the Oasis City, they will start the Lamb Project.

What is Lamb Project?

According to the flyer, recently the sub-dragon species found that eating raw children is particularly delicious, so they want to turn the city of oasis into a sheepfold, and provide a steady stream of food 'children' for the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

As for the second point, it is a supplement to the first point.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom told the people in the city that they had destroyed all the routes from the Oasis City to the central area. Every person here counts as one. No matter whether you are a soldier or a civilian, don’t try to run away.

"Is this... is this true?"

Escal's face turned red, and he was extremely angry: "Well, well, what a Holy Dragon Kingdom! Even if I risk my life in this battle, I will destroy these sub-dragon species!"

"calm down."

Vega coughed and said, "I made up all of these things. The Sacred Dragon Kingdom's massacre will return to the massacre. I have never heard of such a thing as eating human beings raw."

Escal was taken aback.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, why are you spreading such rumors?"

Escal seemed to have some lingering fears: "If these rumors are known to the army and civilians, wouldn't it make the already low morale close to despair?"

"On the contrary."

Vega smiled and said, "Have you forgotten your own reaction to the news just now?"

Escal paused, he understood Vega's plan.

He took the leaflet: "I'll let someone do it right now. Seeing this leaflet, even an officer who was a staff officer like me was so angry that he lost his mind, let alone those civilians and soldiers? Your Highness is worthy of being called by the kingdom. He is a devil who plays with people's hearts. With this trick, why don't soldiers fight to the death, as long as the soldiers can fight to the death without retreating, after six hours, it is the death of the flying dragon army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom!"

"Your Excellency is absurd."

Vega smiled and said: "You and I have an allied force of 200 million. To deal with the mere Holy Dragon Kingdom, we only need to use a small plan. I don't think the Dynasty Army will even need to take action in this war. Relying on your army can directly defeat you." Dragon Legion."

"I hope so."

Eskar left the meeting room, and Veigar restrained his smile.

This battle is really not difficult for Veigar. With such a strong army in the empire, as long as the soldiers don't flee without authorization because of fear, they can kill the Holy Dragon Kingdom directly by relying on the number of people. Veigar has no idea why Escal would fight Can't win Holy Dragon Kingdom.

In fact, Vega has more than one method.

If he fights seriously, he can even wipe out the dragon army at the lowest cost. Unfortunately, he doesn't think it is necessary to think about the imperial army that is bound to become an enemy. He directly uses the simplest method to confuse the civilians and the army, and let them go to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Just hurt.

His own army of 50?

Veigar came here with the army, just in case, just in case, by the way, he made a fortune for the empire's military expenses.

With the implementation of the plan, this peaceful night passed quietly.

When the dawn of the next day came again, almost everyone in the city of oasis exploded with a leaflet.
