The next day.

It was just after nine o'clock, and Carol, a somewhat impatient guardian knight, knocked on Vega's door with Princess Thea, which made Vega, who was seriously sleep-deprived, only wash up a little and cheer up to meet the two.

"Your Royal Highness, may I ask you what you have to do this morning?"

Vega quietly flipped the map over, not letting the two of them see the circles and crosses on the map.

"Imp, I'll ask you. ”

Carol said with anger on her face: "You promised to help Her Royal Highness the princess return to the west bank of the kingdom yesterday, but why is there no movement now, please take a little action." ”

"Carol!"

Xiya hurriedly apologized: "General Vega, Carol just cares too much about me, please forgive him for his rude behavior." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Vega waved his hand and said, "It seems that I should really do something practical to make Lord Carol feel at ease with me." ”

Vega walked over to the wall where the map of the Holy Dynasty was hung, pointed to his current location, and said, "The City of Silver Pines is in the hinterland of the east, and it will take about 20 days to march to the port city on foot. ”

Vega pointed to the port city again: "But the port city is heavily guarded by the kingdom, and it may not be easy for us to break through head-on, even if we can break through the enemy's defense line head-on, I am afraid that the ships crossing the river will be destroyed." ”

"What do you mean?"

Princess Thea looked into Vega's eyes, her face full of trust.

Vega didn't know why Princess Thea trusted him so much, but it was a good thing rather than a bad thing, so he continued to point to the north of the dynasty and said, "Therefore, I personally suggest going north. ”

"I disagree!"

Carol vetoed for the first time: "You are simply deceiving us, wouldn't it be the opposite and farther and farther to go to the north of the dynasty, please don't insult me and the intelligence of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"IMHO. ”

Vega smiled: "Lord Carol, although you are strong, you are indeed a layman in marching and fighting, do you know what it means to fight in a roundabout way?"

Vega knocked on the north and said: "The kingdom is heavily guarded by the port city, the rear must be empty, with our forces all the way north will be unimpeded, and almost no army can stop our footsteps." At that time, we will enter the territory of the empire through the north, and Her Royal Highness will naturally be able to return to the west of the dynasty from the eastern part of our country unharmed. ”

"This ......"

Carol was speechless, although he wanted to say something questioning, but the whole plan was indeed perfect, after all, even he knew that the probability of the king crossing the river through the port city was not high, but if he followed Vega's plan, he could not see any danger for the time being, but the distance was a little far, and the time was a little slow.

But it doesn't matter.

In Carol's opinion, as long as he can return to the west of the dynasty with Thea, the time and distance can be ignored, and Vega's purpose is to return to the empire safely, so it can also be explained why Vega promised to help Thea.

If you go with the flow, it seems that anyone will do it.

"I'll trust you for once. ”

Carol finally chose to believe Vega, and the princess Thea certainly didn't see any suspicion in this, it was not too easy for a battle-hardened general like Vega to deceive a simple-minded guard with developed limbs and a 15-year-old princess.

That's right, it's deception.

Vega was indeed ready to head north, but he had cancelled his plans to go all the way north.

What he was preparing was to launch a surprise attack on the City of Radiance north of Yves Saint Laurent. And when the enemy army did not react, he took the city of Saint Laurent, the city of Saya, the city of Twilight, and the city of Half Moon, formed the strongest defense line, and surrounded the royal army in the port city.

There is no aviation unit carrying capacity and high mobility.

It would take at least one month and ten days for the main force of the Kingdom Army to support Saint Laurent from the port city, which was enough time for Vega to take the Saint Laurent defensive ring.

Vega is betting on that.

The self-confident and arrogant royal army did not have a heavy defense of Saint Laurent, nor did it have a highly mobile support force.

With this sturdy line of defense.

Within a year and a half, Vega was confident that he could drive the kingdom army out of the eastern territory of the Holy Dynasty.

Moreover, Saint Laurent is the desire of the people, and taking Saint Laurent is equivalent to restoring the morale of the army, restoring the confidence of the people, and giving some patriots a place to take refuge.

However, Vega can't tell Thea and Carol about his plan for the time being.

It's not that they despise the strategic thinking of the two, with the insights of Carol and Xiya, I'm afraid they will take the whole plan as a proposition, so Vega plans to stabilize the two first, and when the time comes, the two can't help but agree.

So Vega continued: "Please rest quiet, let my troops rest for a day, and start the official march towards the north tomorrow morning, and will not keep you two waiting too long. ”

"Trouble General. ”

Princess Thea smiled at Vega, and then said, "Then we won't disturb General Vega's work, and then ask the general to take care of him." ”

"As it should be. ”

Vega said solemnly to Princess Thea.

Satisfied, the princess and Carol left Vega's room, but when they left, Carol still didn't give Vega any good looks.

Walk out of Vega's room.

Princess Thea subconsciously patted her chest and let out a long sigh.

She didn't know why her heart beat faster every time she saw Vega, and she was very nervous, and sometimes she couldn't even maintain proper etiquette, but she couldn't help but want to get close to Vega, maybe she subconsciously asked Vega for help based on this.

Although I can't figure it out.

But one thing Thea can be sure of is that she believes in Vega very much.

Vega, who had saved him in the alley, was the person she trusted the most besides Carol.

Although Saint Laurent XVIII had told her that the Empire was cunning by nature and could not be trusted, Thea believed that Vega was definitely not among them, and that he was someone who could be trusted.

So on the next day.

After getting enough supplies in the City of Silver Pines, Vega began to advance to the north of the dynasty, and he needed to cross the Tully Mountains again north to attack one of Saint Laurent's satellite cities, the City of Radiance.

But just as he was about to march, a piece of news came.

In the past two days, the troops who have been clearing the city have captured an officer of the kingdom under the report of the civilians, and this officer is none other than Menno, the commander of the reinforced regiment.

"May I ask the general, what should the commander of this kingdom do?"

Adjutant Iloh turned to Vega and asked, "After we tortured him, he didn't have any useful information on him, and it seems that he didn't have any value in staying. ”

"Bring him to me, and I will see him myself. ”

When Vega heard the news, he hurriedly stopped Ilo from killing the regimental commander, because the moment he heard the news, a bold idea appeared in his mind again, and this regimental commander would definitely be of great use in the next war.
