West of the Jialan Mountains.

Lately, Grand Duke Baya has been busy and happy.

The last victory made his Principality of Baya skyrocket several times in strength, and his prestige increased to an unprecedented level, and at the same time, it also allowed him to get the entire territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which also directly led to a geometric increase in government affairs.

But these are secondary.

He didn't expect the Duchy of Baya to have such a glorious day, and it was only because he heeded one of Aiden Gary's advice and missed the rich rewards of a war.

"Thanks to the general, the Principality of Baya is where it is today. ”

The idle Grand Duke of Baya thanked Aiden Gary again.

Aiden Gary replied lightly: "As a courtier, this is my duty, please Your Majesty do not be polite, in addition, you have repeated this sentence no less than twenty times in the past ten days, please Your Majesty do not have to be so polite." ”

"Hahaha, Your Excellency the General is still as unkind as ever. ”

Bayard laughed openly, not taking Aiden Gary's attitude to heart in the slightest.

You need to know that once because of Aiden Gary's arrogant attitude, he wanted to kick the other party away and let the other party know that the dignity of a king cannot be desecrated.

But because of this war.

Directly let the Grand Duke of Baya regard all Aiden Gary's shortcomings as advantages, let alone kick the other party away now, if someone wants to snatch Aiden Gary's talent with him, he may go into battle shirtless and fight to the death with the other party.

"General Aiden. ”

After the Grand Duke Baya laughed, he turned his gaze to Aiden Gary: "Although we have annexed the Holy Dragon Kingdom and become the second largest force in the West, but after all, we are the closest to the East, and the existence of the Jialan Empire is like a stalk in my throat, which makes it difficult for me to sleep, may I ask what advice His Excellency General has in the long run?"

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

On the other hand, if people have no immediate worries, they have long-term concerns.

At present, the Principality of Baya is proud, but the Grand Duke of Baya is not a short-sighted king after all, and while his own strength has skyrocketed, he has begun to care about the affairs of the Jialan Empire.

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty is this. ”

Aiden Gary confidently said: "Although the initiative of the war has changed hands, and the West no longer has the strength to go east, this does not mean that we do not have the ability to defend. When we invaded the East, the biggest problem was how to break through the Jialan Mountain Range and go deep into the interior of the Jialan Country, and now the Jialan Army will encounter the same problem if it wants to deal with us. ”

"The presence of the Jialan Mountains has a natural advantage for the defenders. ”

Aiden Gary said with a smile: "As long as we in the West are united, even the Jialan Empire will not easily break through our defenses. ”

"And Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Aiden Gary said keenly: "Although it seems that we in the West have suffered heavy losses in this war, the sequelae of Jialan's previous annexation of the empire have not yet been resolved, and the failure of this encirclement and suppression plan has severely damaged the personal prestige of Vega Saint Laurent, and domestic contradictions will inevitably appear on a large scale, and I am afraid that the mainland will enter a period of peaceful development in a short period of time, and there is still plenty of time left for us." When we digest the resources of the original Holy Dragon Kingdom, when the time comes, we will really have to fight, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. ”

"General Takami. ”

Although the Grand Duke of Baya didn't understand too much, at this time, he felt that he was done with praise for Aiden to death.

But just then, a janissary walked in.

He presented a letter to the Grand Duke of Baya and said, "Report to Your Majesty, we have just received a letter from the Jialan Empire. ”

"Jialan Empire?"

Archduke Baya was like a frightened bird, and his voice rose by a few decibels.

For the entire West, the words Jialan Empire and Vega Saint Laurent can indeed be said to be a nightmare, and any time they hear these words, it is enough to make them tremble.

Swallowed.

Archduke Baya opened the letter with some nervousness, and then read it.

The letter stated that the other three kingdoms, including the Holy Dragon Kingdom, had transferred sovereignty over their territory to the Jialan Empire after surrendering. At present, the Principality of Baya is an illegal act of aggression by sending troops to occupy the territory of the four countries without authorization. In view of this, the Jialan Empire officially issued a warning to the Principality of Baya, asking the Principality of Baya to immediately withdraw its troops, otherwise the Jialan Empire will not rule out the possibility of using force to defend the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty, as well as the right to pursue subsequent responsibilities.

After reading it, Grand Duke Baya was first shocked in his heart, and then glanced at Aiden Gary with some weirdness.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what did the Jialan Empire say?"

Aiden Gary had some difficulty suppressing his curiosity, and he could not guess the contents of the letter.

Grand Duke Baya wanted to speak and stopped.

Because Aiden Gary swore that the Jialan Empire would not start a war in the near future, and the mainland would enter a period of peaceful development, but the Jialan Empire wanted their army to withdraw from the entire territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the other three medium-sized countries, otherwise the possibility of sending troops to defend territorial sovereignty was not ruled out...... This naked slap in the face was simply caught off guard.

In order not to embarrass Aiden Gary, Grand Duke Baya wisely chose to let Aiden see it himself.

After reading the letter, Aiden Gary was not as embarrassed as he imagined.

He said again in a very affirmative tone: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, this is just a means of intimidation by the Jialan Empire. Xia Guan dared to assert that during this period of time, the Jialan Empire would never use swords and soldiers. ”

Grand Duke Baya was still a little worried and said, "What if the Jialan Kingdom really comes to attack?"

"Your Majesty, are you questioning me?"

"Hahaha, I'm relieved to have the general's words. ”

Grand Duke Baya nodded, choosing to believe Aiden Gary's words, after all, Aiden Gary helped him get such a big benefit, and now even if Aiden Gary refers to the deer as a horse, he will believe it.

Therefore, the Principality of Baya chose to ignore this letter.

In the following period, the Jialan Empire received two more warning letters, the content of which was similar, both condemning the illegal occupation of territory by the Principality of Baya and demanding the immediate withdrawal of troops.

Of course, the Duchy of Baya still ignored it.

After being irritated by Vega for the last time, Archduke Baya even wrote back insulting Vega.

Ignored twice, and after being insulted once, Vega began to inform the nation about the incident.

Vega understands that war is an existence that is hated by everyone, and starting a war without authorization will make the already contradictory domestic situation become the same as fire, and some people with good intentions will take the opportunity to make trouble, but if you hold high the banner of righteousness, it will be different if you are famous.

The Principality of Baya ignored it twice, and once insulted, at worst, it was trampling on the dignity of the Jialan Empire.

Fight for the dignity of the camp, who else will object?

Opponents, aren't you a citizen of the Jialan Empire?
