Chapter 824: Devoured by Fear
It has been seven days since I returned to Saint Laurent.

During these seven days, although Vega did not disclose the identity of Alicia to the whole country, he still explained the situation to several core members and asked to send a guard to protect her safety.

At first, Veigar was worried that Shia would have an opinion.

But later, Vega discovered that Shia didn't care about this matter, but rather liked this obedient younger sister, and the two simple people became quite close within a few days.

of course.

Vega did not say that Meru ordered Arisia to marry him no matter what. Otherwise, Shia, who is very possessive, self-esteem and insecure, would not be able to get along with her so happily and friendly. It's hard to say.

Finished these chores.

Veigar can finally take out the rune page boldly and start learning the newly obtained star position shadow magic.

This magic is different from the past, it belongs to the dark art branch of the three branches of shadow mages.

This branch of magic mainly imitates elemental mages, using range-type magic to attack, which looks more like traditional elemental magic applied to frontal warfare.

But this branch is hardly studied.

The reason is very simple, there are too many restrictions on this branch.

Under certain conditions, shadow mages who major in dark art are indeed more powerful than fire elemental mages of the same level, but there is a rigid requirement, that is, they must be in the dark.

Once in daylight.

The shadow magic of the shadow art branch will be greatly weakened, its power is not as good as that of wind and earth mages, and it can only reach one-third of the destructive power, and most frontal battles happen in the daytime. This also caused most shadow mages to choose to major in deceit or shadow art instead of majoring in dark art.

Of course, this is also related to the needs of the military.

The same two mages who are used in frontal battles stand here. Instead of choosing the dark art branch that can only exert its full strength in the dark, it is better to directly choose the relatively stable element mage that can be used in any situation in all weathers.

Therefore, dark magic is generally very tasteless, and no shadow mage is willing to major in it.

Veigar was a little disappointed when he first learned that this was the magic of the dark art branch.

But after understanding the effect of this magic, Veigar was a little overjoyed.

It's a real piece of war magic.

The name of the magic is 'Fear Eats'.

The role of magic has inherited the mystery and weirdness of the Shadow Mage. It can absorb the fear of friendly forces on the battlefield, and transfer this fear to the enemy, affecting their combat capabilities.

only……

This conversion rate is really low, probably only about [-]%.

But even so, it still cannot conceal the horror of this war magic.

In a war, once a soldier develops fear, he will flee and retreat without authorization, and it is impossible to stop it by relying on the warlord.But if you use this magic at that time, you can absorb all the fear of the friendly forces, making them go forward like a brainwashed death squad.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this feature that this magic is qualified to be called a star position.

need to know.

In the most glorious ancient times of magic, every system of mages was working hard to develop magic for war. Maybe a powerful magic had just been developed, and the hostile mages would develop corresponding magic. At that time, this magic was inevitable. It also has its natural enemies, but this is the Dharma-ending era.

this means.

This magic will be utilized to the greatest extent without worrying about the enemy's countermeasures.

As long as he uses this magic on the battlefield, even cannon fodder can turn him into an elite division.

Indeed it is.

The so-called elite teacher, the overall strength is actually secondary, what really matters is the heart that is not afraid of death.

As long as there is a heart that is not afraid of death, no enemy is invincible.

Therefore, this magic was regarded as the treasure of war by Veigar.

"Finally got another real hole card."

At the moment of learning magic, the pressure accumulated on Veigar finally eased a bit.

This magic alone is enough to increase the winning rate against the World Alliance by [-]% in the coming year.

Three percent is already a lot.

In Vega's previous prediction, including all means, the winning rate was less than 0.01%.

----

Frost fell.

Three months later, it will be late autumn.

On the border, the Jialan Army is still repeatedly building a defense line, turning the border into an iron barrel.

Regarding the movement of the Jialan Army, the Imperial Army has made a fuss at the beginning, then became vigilant later, and now is not surprised at all. It can be said that the attitude of the Imperial Army has completed a 180-degree change.

That's right.

Habit is a pretty scary being.

If you have walked the same road [-] times, you will no longer pay attention to the scenery along the way; if you have eaten the same dish a thousand times, you will no longer expect the taste of this dish.

The Imperial Army has long since ceased to be on guard against the Jialan Army.

Coupled with the coming of winter, this time point is the most unsuitable season for marching and fighting.

Everything made Foster and Erdir believe that the Jialan Army is not going to attack, but to defend.

In the Immortal City of the Emperor.

Eldir, who was so cautious that he was almost morbid, gave Foster and Tiers an order to withdraw their troops.

However, only 160 million reinforcements were withdrawn, and about 20 to [-] defenders remained in the major cities.

In Eldir's view, with this group of defenders, even if an accident occurs at that time, it will probably be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

After all, are they rejecting the city, or in this freezing weather, how can the Jialan army, who have traveled long distances, defeat them who are waiting for work in a short time, and take the city from them?After all, Eldir did not give up his morbid caution.

But what he didn't know was.

Marching and fighting has never been a matter of one person. If he can't try his best to convey his thoughts to soldiers and officers, he is almost morbidly cautious. No one will take it seriously at all, and even say that he is timid.

In any case, his order was quickly conveyed to the frontier.

The impatient Foster officially announced his withdrawal half a month before the arrival of early winter.

He stood on the tower of Kareni and looked into the distance: "The spring of the coming year, wait for me, Jialan Empire."

creak-

The gates of the city were reopened.

The city of Kareni, which has been closed to this day, announced that it had lifted the state of war, and the strong smell of gunpowder completely dissipated at this moment.

As soon as the empire withdrew its troops, Housman on the City of Ice and Fire finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough cough...the army has finally withdrawn."

Housman seemed to be unable to stand the cold weather, but he was surprisingly energetic: "In the middle of the night, carefully avoid stealing things from the owner, specially choose secluded alleys where no one will find out to kill people, and send an army to sneak attack by surprise. ? That kind of sneaky thing is simply the low-level of the low-level, and a real general would never bother to do it."

In a tone of extreme confidence.

Hausman Christian showed a rare cruel smile: "Foster Nolan, let me tell you, what is the real conspiracy, and trying to catch up with that kid is just the beginning !"
