Chapter 507: Smell Fishy
As everyone knows.
In the jungle, there are countless wild beasts hidden.
When blood flows from your wounds, even if they are far away, if they let them smell even the slightest bit of blood, they will chase you until you die in the mouth of the beast.
And so on.
If the entire Jialan Continent is compared to a primeval forest, then the countries are carnivores living in the forest.
This is the eternal law of the jungle.
And as beasts, the nations undoubtedly have a very sensitive sense of war.
In the midst of this forest, the Empire is the undisputed overlord.
Whether it is a dynasty, a kingdom, or an alliance, it was once the defeat of the empire.
However, if the Jialan Continent is divided into east and west by the Jialan Mountain Range, the empire is of course still the hegemon in the east, and the freedom alliance is in the position of the empire in the west.
In other words.
The first major force in the Jialan Continent is the Empire, and the second largest force is the Freedom Alliance, which is also the only great power that is qualified to destroy the empire in a one-on-one situation.
Therefore, the Empire is extremely jealous of the Free Alliance.
If the Free Alliance were to attack the Empire at this juncture, the Empire might immediately give up the war situation in the Kingdom and concentrate 100% of its attention on the attack of the Free Alliance.
So will the Liberty League go on the offensive at this time?
If it was put before, there is a high probability that it will not be, at most it will support the United Kingdom in terms of resources, but it will not dare to act openly. Once they are mired in war, it is quite difficult to get out of the country, and they are also afraid that the Empire will unite with the great powers west of the Jialan Mountains to attack them.
But when Vega put on this position, the situation was different.
In the north of the empire, there are 500,000 troops of the Kingdom and Dynasty Alliance to contain the 17th Army of the Empire, in the east there are two army groups on the west bank to contain the Central Army, and in the southwest, there are 200,000 troops of the Principality of Baya pressing step by step, and the support line of the Sea of Dragons is also targeted by Vega.
The empire itself, of course, they know that these are all paper tigers.
They also have the determination to win this war.
But for the Freedom Alliance to the west of the Jialan Mountains, they didn't know that these armies were all paper tigers, after all, they weren't even humans, and they didn't understand the language, so how could they have accurate war intelligence.
So the Liberal Alliance can only see the surface of the matter.
And this matter is ostensibly the empire is besieged from all sides, and even if the gods come into the world, they will definitely be defeated.
Wrong!
Perhaps in the eyes of the Liberal Alliance, the empire has been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and its destruction is probably not far away.
Greedy beasts will smell fish.
Seeing that the Empire State Building was about to fall, as the second largest country in the Jialan Continent, how could they miss this great opportunity to dominate the eastern part of the Jialan Mountain Range, but they had never dreamed of expanding their territory in the east of the Jialan Mountain Range.
Therefore, Vega's actions directly gave confidence to the Freedom Alliance, and it will inevitably directly lead to the Freedom Alliance, which has not made any movement so far.
Now the empire.
In the eyes of the Liberal Alliance, it is indeed a piece of fat that flows with oil.
They must also want to participate in this war and share a piece of the pie with Vega and the others.
And everything turned out exactly as Vega expected.
A week later, Vega received information that the 120,000-strong army of the Freedom Alliance's 'Silver Wolf Species' and the 'Giant Species' had crossed the Jialan Mountains and headed for the Sunset Fortress due west of the Empire.
"This is a vanguard army. β
Vega saw at a glance what the Freedom Alliance was planning.
This army is just a test of the empire, if the empire can't even stop this army, the Freedom Alliance will definitely judge that the empire is already strong from outside, and the death of the country is also an ironclad thing, then they will probably directly send the real main force.
When the Freedom Alliance makes a move, it means that the 'momentum' that Vega really wants to borrow has already appeared.
Under this premise, does the Empire still dare to insist on a decisive battle with him?
Vega walked out of the office, quietly enjoying the charming spring breeze.
What he had to wait for now was for the Empire to take the initiative to sue for peace with him, and he would take the opportunity to open his mouth.
ββββ
Empire, Immortal City.
It was ten o'clock in the evening, but the room was still brightly lit.
The three major think tanks of the Empire, the FΓΌhrer, the Presiding Judge, and the Speaker of the Parliament are among them, and they convened the Three Powers Meeting overnight because they had just received an urgent war report from the Sunset Fortress in the west of the Empire, and the content of the battle report forced them to activate the Three Powers Council-
The Liberal Alliance is coming.
The 'Silver Wolf Species' is the fastest and generally exists as the vanguard of the Freedom Alliance.
The 'Giant Species' is as tall as a city wall and has always been regarded as the best choice for siege cities.
Now the 120,000 combined forces of the 'Silver Wolf Species' and the 'Giant Species' are menacing, and it is impossible for the more than 30,000 soldiers of the 75th Army of the Sunset Fortress Empire to hold it for too long, and if they don't send reinforcements at this time, the Sunset Fortress may not be able to be saved.
Not that Sunset Fortress is so important.
In real terms, Sunset Fortress is just the first line of defense of the Imperial Defense Freedom Alliance, and it would not hurt if it was lost directly in normal times, but this time is different.
Everyone here is clear.
In the current embattled situation, once the Sunset Fortress is lost, it is equivalent to indirectly misleading the Freedom Alliance into the fact that the Empire is no longer sustainable, and if this misunderstanding really occurs, the Freedom Alliance will probably not be a vanguard army.
Totally conceivable.
When the Freedom Alliance preconceived that they were already strong and powerful, they would inevitably send a large number of main legions to attack the borders of the Empire, which would directly lead to them having to abandon the layout of the Dragon City.
Therefore, this battle is not only to defend the Sunset Fortress, but also to fight beautifully.
On this basis, they must make a compromise with Vega, otherwise when they concentrate on dealing with the Free Alliance, Vega suddenly stabs them in the back, then their losses will be great.
This three-power meeting started quickly and ended faster.
From the convening to the unification of opinions, in less than twenty minutes, everyone reached a consensus-
Compromise with Vega.
This time, even the leaders of the three powers did not dare to raise the idea of war again.
Because with the foresight of the three of them, they know very well that they no longer have the capital to continue fighting with Vega to the end, and if they continue to fight the war, there is a high chance that the entire empire will be destroyed in the end.
So after five days.
The Empire authorized the current commander of Kareni's 17th Army, Clement Oliver, to negotiate with Vega, and demanded that Clement Oliver must withdraw his troops peacefully.
