Crunch squeak –

An ornate horse-drawn carriage headed for East Street, decorated with a pansy pattern that symbolized the royal family, and now the only two people in the entire dynasty were eligible to use it.

One is Queen Thea Saint Laurent.

The other is undoubtedly the Queen's husband, Vega Saint Laurent.

The purpose of Vega's trip is the mansion of Ocassos Saint Laurent, the Lord Protector and Star Mage, and he needs to convince Ocassos to put aside their contradictions for the time being, and first adopt a unified external strategy.

This has two benefits for Vega.

The first aspect, of course, is to let Ocasus contain the entire eastern defenders of the empire without a single soldier, so that the empire has no ability to go all the way north to support the city of Kareni and prevent Vega from seizing the strategic point of Kareni.

Second.

This is actually a delaying tactic by Vega.

Because Vega knew very well that with his current strength, he would not be able to defeat Ocassos at all, and leaving Ocasus in Saint Laurent, Vega was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Thea, or take the opportunity to control Thea, which was simply a time bomb.

But sending Ocassos to the eastern front of the empire was different.

Taking advantage of this war, Vega can improve the rank of the mage to his heart's content, and even find some special and quite practical shadow magic rune pages, and wait until the strength is enough to fight against the star position, and give Ocasos a big "surprise".

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything.

If this is all good for Vega and not good for Ocassos, then I'm afraid only a fool will obediently listen to you and form an army against the Imperial Army.

After all, they are all foxes for thousands of years, and they still play with each other and talk about fasting.

Everything is just a matter of taking what you need, and the difference is only who calculates a little more and who is a little simpler.

So for Ocassos.

This is the perfect time to build and control your own army in the open.

Because of the army formed by Ocassos, even if Vega is nominally the military commander-in-chief, he can't interfere with that force, and the other party doesn't dare to disobey the order openly, but he doesn't have the slightest temper if he wants to disobey Vega.

Military power is a necessary thing to subvert the regime.

For example, if you are a strong star mage, and you conquer a small city by yourself, but you find that there is no one to guard and maintain the operation of the city, then wouldn't it be all in vain?

When the time comes, you leave the city and take the next city.

Then as long as the enemy is not stupid, he will take advantage of this gap to make a comeback and take back the city.

On the other hand, there are the proceeds of war.

This time it was a war of annihilation, which meant that it was almost impossible to give up the captured territory and plundered resources, and how much Ocasus could get although it nominally belonged to the state, but in fact it must have gone into his own pocket.

With resources and territory, it is possible to continue to develop the army.

With the support of the aristocracy, Ocasus had little shortage of talents to manage the army, although these talents could not be compared with the officers who graduated from the military academies of the empire and the kingdom, but the basic management could still be done.

The last benefit is prestige.

Although Ocassos's prestige is one of the best in the dynasty, due to Vega's outburst and his status as a prince, he has completely surpassed Ocassos's personal prestige in the dynasty, so if Vega loses this war and he sings all the way, then he will inevitably surpass Vega again in evaluation.

Even if Vega didn't fight any defeats.

Then he must also lead the army to show his sense of existence, so as not to be stretched a huge distance by Vega in the evaluation of the people, and it will be difficult to reach out to him when the time comes.

Therefore, on the premise that the two of them know the pros and cons.

Vega entered the mansion and sat opposite Ocassos, and after being glared at by Carol angrily, he said directly to Ocassos: "May I ask Lord Ocassos, what do you think of my proposal? ”

"Allow me to think about it. ”

Ocassos did not immediately agree to Vega.

Of course, this is not to say that Ocasos is not aware of the benefits of this, but only because Ocasus is comparing whether it is more beneficial to go to the eastern part of the empire or to stay in Saint Laurent.

Stay in Yves Saint Laurent.

This means that he can take advantage of Vega's absence to make waves, and even make the queen wake up that Vega is simply an 'enemy' who wants to seize the dynasty's 10,000-year inheritance, rather than a friend who helps the dynasty rise.

Expeditions to the eastern part of the empire are also the best choice.

Here's what needs to be known.

Now that the empire is negatively attacked, even if he, a star mage, personally participates in the war, it is impossible for him to attack the city of Ellkia in the eastern part of the empire with his front foot, and the empire's army will drive from the north to the city of ice and fire, and then go all the way south to take the capital city of Saint Laurent.

This is not alarmist.

With the ability of the Imperial Army, although it can't cure you, a star mage, it is entirely possible for you, an invincible star mage, to watch the destruction of your motherland.

That's why.

Ocasos felt that this was an opportunity to form an army, expand his power, and get more resources, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, and as the main force of the war, such a thing as destroying the empire made people's blood boil just thinking about it.

The entire dynasty, including Ocassos, looked forward to the day when the dynasty would rise.

The main and auxiliary countries of war are not the same.

If one day the empire is really defeated, or even destroyed.

When dividing the cake, the main force can of course get the biggest cake and the most benefits due to the frontal participation in the battle, after all, it is impossible to spit out what you get.

And what about as an auxiliary state?

You don't want the property and resources plundered through the war, and secondly, when dividing the territory, the auxiliary countries can only get some barren land, while the main countries can take advantage of it.

For so many years.

The Holy Dynasty has always played the role of an auxiliary state, and every war has obviously paid a considerable price, and in the end, when it goes to share the cake as a victorious country, not only can it not get a child from the empire, but sometimes it even has to be reversed.

Therefore, there is a wish from top to bottom of the dynasty.

That was the day when I attended the post-war conference as the main country in the war.

In addition, Ocasus didn't know that Vega could increase his strength through the short events of the war, so he thought that it would be a long time to deal with Vega, and he could use Vega to contribute more to the dynasty first, and then he would probably be promoted to the Holy Throne after using it. At that time, no matter what backhand Vega has, he can pull the dynasty and end up together, and he will use the strength of the holy throne to see the move.

After such an analysis, it is very clear which is better and which is inferior.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to say to Vega: "His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, and the lower officials dare not disobey, please give the lower officials some time to ensure that the troops will be sent to the eastern part of the empire within the agreed time." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your understanding. ”

Vega gave a military salute to Ocassos, and for the time being, they reached a reconciliation and unanimous their spears.

But just when Vega thought everything was ready, the butler of the Ocassos Mansion walked in and whispered a few words in Ocasso's ear in a voice that Vega could not hear, and then Ocassos's face immediately changed.
