Chapter 869: Half a Step Away
All the time.
Whether it's Meru Scimitar, the Holy Dragon King, or Augustus, they all have their own pride in their hearts.
This pride is the embodiment of the extreme self-confidence of the superiors.
Standing at the top of the pyramid, even if they admit that Vega is stronger than them, they will inevitably have elements of unconvincing in their hearts, among which Meru Scimitar unilaterally believes that he is not weaker than Vega at all, but lacks such a thing as luck.
If he has the opportunity of Vega.
He thinks that according to his ability, he will definitely be able to stand at the height of Vega, or even do better than Vega.
Because Vega is neither good at government affairs nor economics, he is even more ignorant of how to deal with inter-ethnic contradictions if a reasonable state system is formulated, and there is almost nothing to exist except for war.
Compare it to Vega.
Meru Machete thinks he's all-powerful, too much.
He understands the economy, scheming, understands the overall situation, can be civil, martial, bent and extended, and governs all ethnic groups to live in harmony and unite as one.
But it wasn't until now that he really understood.
The fundamental difference between a strong man and a king.
Every strong person has his own talent, and on the basis of this talent, the strong carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, on the one hand, to improve their talents, on the other hand, to try to get rid of their weaknesses, so the strong are also called all-rounders.
They will be vertical and horizontal, good at shutting down, and can do what ordinary people can't.
Ordinary people will be convinced when they see the strong, and it seems that the strong are much stronger than ordinary people in various fields.
But the king is different.
At first glance, Vega is not even as good as a third-rate official in the handling of government affairs, he is a complete layman in the economy, he knows no more than a marketman, and he knows little about traditional etiquette, and he has lost his face as a royal family and nobleman several times at some festivals, no matter how he looks at it, he is an ordinary person.
This also leads to the fact that many people will be unconvinced when they see Vega for the first time.
Why can such a person achieve such an achievement, in some ways he and I are not comparable at all.
But if you dig deeper, you'll find out.
The reason why the king can be called the king, and the reason why the king is stronger than the almighty who is like a plug-in, is because the king has never thought about dealing with his weaknesses, but has spent all his energy on a point.
Therefore they are not destined to be strong.
In many ways, ordinary people compare him to him.
But it doesn't matter, for him, just one point that shines the brightest light is enough.
This dazzling light is enough to make him a well-deserved king in this field.
Therefore, the three of them did not understand until now that Vega would win this war and they would lose.
Swapping each other's positions, they asked themselves that they would never have the courage to make a decision as bold as Vega. As all-rounders, they have too much to think about, in short, they don't have absolute confidence in their decisions in the field of war.
Almighty may mean omnipotent.
This move.
One step to heaven, one step to hell.
In the absence of intelligence and speculation, there is no second person in this world who dares to make this decision. Even if they push the tide of war back countless times now, they still don't think they will make the same decisions as Vega, and only Vega, a paranoid person who focuses on war, can achieve this level of self-confidence.
This kind of self-confidence is even more crazy than a madman.
This war finally proved what it is to be the king of war.
It cannot be said that the king is more powerful and great than the strong, and the king should be weaker than the strong 99% of the time, but when the arrogant strong wants to confront him in the realm of the king's pride, then he will bring humiliation on himself.
Vega is gone.
But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The Dragon King and Augustus stayed up all night with deep frustration, and Meru Scimitar was restless because he was going to die tomorrow, because there was no greater regret in life than dying before his ambition was paid.
Even if he has surrendered to Vega.
But he is not willing to die, if he dies, who will guard the future of the Hundred Tribes Kingdom?
————
Willingly or not, the dawn still comes.
The time came to the next day.
In Lakasia Square, Meru Machete was the first to be escorted.
He was tied to a cross in the center of the square, a world where the burning of the guilty was considered a kind of purification for them.
The sun is scorching.
The bright sunlight pierced Meru Scimitar's eyes.
At the end of his life, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt that his body had become much lighter, and the spring and autumn dream of recovering the country last night had also disappeared at this moment.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The sun no longer seemed so dazzling, the world was no longer cold, and he had never felt so comfortable.
No, it's ready.
It should be that he has never had such a relaxed feeling in his life.
The moment the fire burned slowly, he suddenly understood......
The thing that is separated from the body is nothing else, and its name is probably - responsibility.
Meru Machetar was burned to death.
In the same square where he was burned, a few hours later the Dragon King and Augustus accepted the canonization of Vega in humiliation.
For the two of them, this is indeed a great humiliation.
But people are swords, I am fish and meat, and they have no capital to resist.
From the moment they accepted the canonization, it meant that from today onwards, the Holy Dragon Ancient Kingdom had officially withdrawn from the stage of war, and all the king's hegemony had come to naught at this moment.
Scenes from the past flashed by like a marquee.
Everything turned into a long sigh.
The simple execution and canonization ceremony came to an end, but the aftermath of the ritual was just beginning to spread.
The spies of the Western countries have reported all this to their masters.
Everything is still exactly as it is in the Vega phenomenon.
As a result, the Western countries fell into hesitation, and their determination to fight to the end became not as strong as they imagined.
Because not to mention sending the officers back to the West, now they can't go back themselves, once the Viga army attacks in a few days, and they are defeated in the hands of Vega, then what awaits them is the same fate as Meru Scimitar.
Now surrender the words.
Don't mention anything else for the time being, at least you can mix the same benefits as a Holy Dragon King.
And if they can survive, who would want to die on the battlefield?
As a result, the tide of battle has developed to such a point that the balance of victory seems to be completely tilted in favor of the Jialan Empire.
This battle is likely to directly allow Vega to complete the great cause of unifying the Jialan Continent, and this war may also be a huge turning point in history and be talked about by future generations.
But luck never seemed to be on Vega's side.
Seeing that it was only half a step away from the unification of the Jialan Continent, an accident still happened after all.
