The empire was on the verge of collapse.

Jialan is eyeing the tiger.

At a time when the two countries should have become the focus of the world, the eyes of the Western world have all fallen on the United Kingdom of Hundred Nationalities, which is a country that has just been established for less than two months, this kind of treatment can be regarded as unique.

The United Kingdom of Hundred Nationalities, the capital of the country, is an important city in Lakasia.

In the royal palace, King Meru Scimitar is about to welcome an important guest today.

This man was none other than the Freedom Alliance emissary who had braved the ice and snow from the West, Admiral Swinburn of the Night.

"I've seen His Majesty the King. ”

Swinburn bowed gracefully, then smiled at Meru.

"The general has come all the way and worked hard. ”

Meru Scimitar personally welcomed Swinburn into the meeting room, and after a pleasant greeting, Meru Scimitar took the initiative to say, "Thank you for your help when you founded the country last time, I don't know what you came here for?"

"Before I explain my intentions, I have a presumptuous question for you. ”

"Your Excellency, please, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Hearing this, Swinburn put down the cup in his hand, and said in a non-hurried tone: "Recently, I heard that Your Majesty seems to have close personal relations with other countries in the West, and as an ally of the Jialan Country, it seems a little inappropriate to do so. ”

"Your Excellency has come all the way to me just to ask this question. ”

Meru didn't pull down his face, but said with a smile: "But since Your Excellency asked, then I can't let the guests go home, my country is a sovereign country, and who we want to establish diplomacy with is completely our own business, I don't think this matter needs the permission of the Jialan Empire." ”

"Your Majesty is not afraid of the wrath of Vega Saint Laurent?"

"I think His Majesty Vega will not only not be angry, but will support it. ”

"Hahaha, worthy of His Majesty the King of the Hundred Tribes Kingdom. ”

Swinburn laughed and then said, "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense, since Your Majesty already has a way to appease His Majesty Vega Saint Laurent, then I don't care about more of our entire allies." ”

"This is an honor for my country. ”

Meru Scimitar's smile became brighter: "But friendship is not just about being concluded, my country's friends Ganti Joo-ku, Hayer, Nishihama, Kabilyn...... Wait for 15 countries to promise to support our country in obtaining 2/3 of the territory in the northwest, east, center, and north of the empire after the war, I wonder what the free alliance you represent can bring me?"

"On their basis, resource assistance to your country. ”

Swinburne brought a list to Meru Scimitar: "War airships, food, gold, technology, scarce resources...... Your Majesty is still satisfied, but in the coming year we will have an exclusive passage to march. ”

"Please tell His Majesty Stretche Fergton that everything is as he wishes. ”

Meru Scimitar's eyes flashed with greed, and then readily agreed to Swinburn's offer.

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Swinburn smiled and saluted, then followed his attendant out of the chamber.

When Swinburne disappeared completely, Deere Scimitar on the side couldn't help but say worriedly: "Father......"

"How many times have you said it, call me father, you are a prince now!"

"Father, father. ”

Dill Scimitar said with some fear: "The Western countries are mortal enemies with the Jialan Kingdom, and we are allies with the Jialan Kingdom, but now you have established an alliance with almost all the countries in the West, if this matter is known to the Jialan Kingdom......

"Starve the faint of heart!"

Meru said disdainfully: "I groveled to the Jialan Kingdom before, that was to establish the country smoothly and enter the vision of the Western countries. Now that the goal has been achieved, of course we cannot be satisfied with that. ”

"Father, do you want to ......?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Meru said as a matter of course: "Vega Saint Laurent is a greedy person, this time in the northwest war, if we don't move quickly, we won't even be able to get half of the northwest." If we really let the Jialan country unify the Jialan Continent, we will be a thorn in their side and a thorn in the flesh, and what kind of sovereignty do we talk about, it would be good not to be destroyed, so this is an opportunity. ”

"A chance to replace the empire and become the hegemon-level country of the East!"

Meru became a little crazy: "Now the empire is not going to work, so the Western countries need us to act as a springboard for them to invade the East, we can take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the division of the big cake of Jialan Kingdom as the victorious country after the war, which is also the only choice for our kingdom to rise." ”

"Aren't you afraid, if you can't wait for spring, you will be wiped out by the Jialan Kingdom?"

Dill felt that his father was a little too naïve: "Although the main force of the Jialan Kingdom is confronting the Empire, with our national strength, the other party can send a third-rate army casually, which is enough to destroy us countless times." ”

"Hmph, that's exactly what I'm trying to solve. ”

Meru Scimitar stood up and said, "It's just a reckless king who can only fight, and I will let him know that the confrontation between nations is not just war." Inform the Praetorian guards at once, and I will rush to Silla to meet Vega Saint Laurent. ”

————

Silla City.

Vega sat in the conference room, calmly waiting for the atmosphere in the imperial capital to continue to ferment.

This time the Heart-Attacking Battle was his first killer move.

In the current situation, the empire has no way to deal with it, so in Vega, it is enough to sit here quietly and wait for the empire to collapse naturally.

The most difficult fortress to conquer will inevitably collapse from within.

It was precisely because of this that Vega began to lay out when attacking Silla City.

Whether it was the surrender effect caused by the two navies, or the riots and panic caused by the war, they all achieved the goals expected by Vega, and even exceeded them.

These days.

There were countless officers who fled from the empire with their families, and Vega had properly settled them, which formed a good circular effect, and more officers who had no way out were discouraged.

In order to prevent the surrender of officers on a large scale, the empire also embarked on a high-pressure policy.

This in turn caused the officers in the army to dare not speak out, and most of them were already in Cao Ying's heart.

So lately, Vega's smile has been getting stronger and stronger.

Because of the extra free time, Vega finally turned to the information of the United Kingdom of the Hundred Tribes.

The intelligence details the frequent contacts between the United Kingdom and the Western countries over the past period of time, which naturally attracted the attention of Vega.

After all, the northwest of the empire is backed by the Jialan Mountains.

If the Western countries want to invade the East, the Kingdom of the Hundred Tribes must be the only choice as the entrance.

So just in case, Vega asked the lieutenant to bring Meru Scimitar's daughter, now his cheap sister Alycia Saint Laurent, to ask about the details.
