Chapter 493: Immortals show the way
Boom โ
Grand Duke Reynolds Baya swallowed, looked around, and after noticing that none of the guards had noticed an extra letter on his desk, he let all the guards leave the room.
When Reynolds was alone in the office, he opened the letter.
The content of the letter is very simple, and the sum of horizontal and vertical lines does not exceed three lines, the first line is a greeting, and the second line is ......
Someone invited him to meet at the Ice and Snow Lake?
When he saw the second line, Reynolds was almost amused, who was so bored, and invited him to run to that inaccessible place to meet, this was not a tryst between a boy and a girl.
But seeing the signing of the third line, Reynolds was frightened.
"Dimension...... Vega?!"
Wiping his eyes, Reynolds couldn't help but take a second look, and finally made sure that it was indeed an invitation from Vega.
What was Reynolds' first impression now?
It wasn't because he was thinking about his intention to invite him, but he was very excited and excited, even a little proud.
This is also a matter of course, although he and Vega are rivals, but this does not prevent Reynolds from admiring Vega himself.
He is a graduate of the military academy with a strong roots, and of course he has a deep understanding of the threshold between military schools, the imperial Central Military Academy and the Great Southwest Military Academy can be said to be the difference between cloud and mud, and the cadets of the local military academies are all graduates of the Central Military Academy with looking up.
And it is precisely because of the stage of the military academy that Reynolds knows how terrible international wars are.
Being able to make a name for himself on the stage of international warfare and toying those five-star generals between applause, he didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing, let alone receive a handwritten letter from Vega today.
Need to know.
Among the vassal states, not to mention the level of five-star generals, even the brigadier generals and the like are almost non-existent, and the tribes of the hundred tribes were so strong at the beginning, they were not beaten by a major general and had no power to fight back.
Now he's a third-rate commander.
If it were placed on the stage of international warfare, it would be completely possible to call a commander who was not in the stream, and he was invited by a high-ranking officer on the front line?
And Vega still uses the word meeting.
Reynolds felt at this moment that he was no longer at the same level as the other Grand Dukes, he was already a member of the international war arena, on an equal footing with those five-star generals, in this case, how not to be excited, how not to be proud.
Military men pursue honor.
To be able to die on the highest stage at the hands of the world's famous generals is an unparalleled honor for soldiers.
Although Reynolds Baya is the king of a vassal state, he has received the baptism of advanced ideas of the empire, and has made it his life's pursuit to enter the stage of world war.
So to go or not to go to this meeting?
The answer is clear, it must go.
Even if he never returned, he had to go on such a journey and sit down with Vega for a meeting, which was a qualification that only a famous general in the world had, and now that this opportunity had fallen to him, how could he easily miss it.
So two days later.
Reynolds Baya quietly left the camp with only two escorts and headed for the Ice Lake.
It took about 5 hours.
From here, you can already see the center of the snow lake, in a domed pavilion made of white stone, Vega is combing and drinking black coffee, as if enjoying the bitter taste.
The spring sun shone on Vega's body.
It was hard for Reynolds Baya to imagine that this harmless half-grown child was actually the Vega who terrified the world.
"Your Majesty Reynolds, please be seated. โ
Vega invited Reynolds to sit across from him, and asked his men to make him a cup of coffee, always with a kind and bright smile, which calmed Reynolds' vigilance in an instant.
What followed was an hour or two of small talk.
The topic of small talk was very boring, and Reynolds finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Your Excellency, you didn't call me here today just to talk about this, right?"
Reynolds didn't know.
The last one asked...... No, it should be said that the first few sat opposite Vega, chatted with Vega and asked this question, one of them is also a king, this will be dead, and the remaining few are not much better, and there are still shadows in the psychology of being pitted.
Therefore, when this question came out of Reynolds's mouth, Vega finally straightened his face: "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed important to invite Your Majesty to come this time, but before we talk about business, please allow me to ask Your Majesty a question. โ
"Your Excellency, please speak. โ
Vega smiled and said: "The Jialan Continent has been fighting endlessly for many years, including the Imperial Western Resistance Alliance, the Northern War Kingdom, the Tiger Dynasty, and the Eighteen Vassal Kingdoms, what does Your Majesty think is the reason?"
Reynolds was silent for a few minutes, and then finally affirmed: "The army is invincible, and the famous generals are like clouds?"
"Your Majesty, which general does your majesty think is the real famous general in this empire?"
Reynolds said tentatively, "Unbreakable, General Kafin?"
"Hmph, the local chicken and the dog, it will shatter at the touch of a button. โ
"Think twice, General Eskar?"
"It's not worth mentioning if you're defeated. โ
"Turning defeat into victory, General Foster?"
"The rat has a bright eye, and there is courage and no strategy. โ
โ......โ
"Is it Your Excellency the Fรผhrer?"
"Although the Fรผhrer is far-sighted, he has lost his sharpness and is not enough to worry about. โ
"Shhhh
Cold sweat was already oozing from Reynolds Baya's forehead, and he looked at Vega with horror.
Each of the people he had just listed was a general he admired, and he even thought that if these people brought troops to attack his country, the only thing he could do was sit back and wait for his death.
But these famous generals of the time, when they came to Vega's mouth, they became third-rate goods.
But what they say is reasonable, and several of them are defeated by Vega's subordinates, and he does have the right to despise these famous generals.
Therefore, Reynolds finally said with trepidation: "Then your Excellency, who do you think is a famous general in this empire?"
"I think the empire is already on the wane, and there is no one who will do it. โ
Vega's words whispered like demons from hell and poured into Reynolds' ears: "The empire is no longer the empire it used to be, and those famous generals who have made great achievements in war have lost their sense of war in the era of peace. In my opinion, Your Excellency has worked hard to establish the strength of the first vassal state of the Principality of Baya in one fell swoop in the past thirty years, and he is the real famous general of the world!"
"Your Excellency, don't be kidding......" Reynolds was a little apprehensive.
"Why should Your Majesty be humble?"
Vega suddenly spread out the world map on the table: "The empire is complacent, not enterprising, but greedy and undiminished, vainly trying to start a war on multiple fronts with meager strength, swallowing the world, why doesn't Your Majesty take advantage ......of the fact that the empire can't take care of each other, take down the vassals of 18 countries, gather the strength of the 18 countries, and fight against the empire?"
Crash!
A gust of wind blew the entire ice and snow lake.
Reynolds Baya opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know when his throat was dry and he couldn't spit out a word.
