Chapter 868: Those who go along prosper, and those who go against die
Click-Click
Just when a few people in the dungeon were puzzled, a sound of footsteps sounded.
Vega himself came to the dungeon, on the one hand, to meet an 'old friend', and on the other hand, to do something else.
"Vega Saint Laurent. ”
As soon as Vega appeared, it attracted the attention of several people.
Squeak –
The iron door of the dungeon is opened, and Vega enters it.
"I didn't expect to meet here. ”
Vega sat on chairs specially brought by his subordinates, while the three of them sat on the floor in a rudimentary cell with no beds.
Among them, the Holy Dragon King didn't even know what expression to use to face Vega.
Because he said that he would join forces with Vega against the West, he didn't expect to fight against Vega and prepare to deal with Vega in turn, which led to this field. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't betrayed the covenant at the beginning, maybe now the Holy Dragon Kingdom has already owned most of the West, so why would the country that fell into ruin.
Losers don't lose.
The Holy Dragon King still cheered up and said: "Your Majesty, if you become a king or lose, you don't have to be cowardly, tell me what you came for, you won't come here to be boring enough to simply come and mock us losers." ”
"Ahem. ”
Vega coughed and said, "Anyway, we're 'old friends', can't I come and see old friends?"
"If it were anyone else, I would have believed it, but if it was Your Majesty Vega, you would ......"
The Holy Dragon King showed a sneer of contempt, obviously not believing in any bullshit friendship.
"I didn't expect my impression to be so bad in your minds. ”
Vega smiled bitterly and said, "Obviously, this time I came with great news. ”
"Good news?"
The Holy Dragon King was slightly stunned, and then seemed to understand something: "You are ready to bait again, sure enough, what you are best at is this set of playing with people's hearts, but this set seems to have been tried and tested repeatedly." ”
"His Majesty the Holy Dragon King is wise. ”
Vega said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will canonize you as the honorary grand duke of the Jialan Empire in front of the whole city, and enjoy the right of permanent residence in the national capital Saint Laurent City, but do not enjoy the right to participate in politics, discuss politics, and fief, and at the same time, you will not be allowed to leave Saint Laurent City, the capital of the Jialan Empire in this life, can His Majesty agree to these Holy Dragon Kings?"
"Perhaps it is a good choice to take off the responsibilities and enjoy your old age. ”
The holy dragon sighed deeply, and naturally chose to agree.
Vega turned his head to Augustus: "Your Excellency Augustus, tomorrow I will canonize you as the Honorary Earl of the Jialan Empire, and enjoy the same treatment and restrictions as His Majesty the Holy Dragon King, can you agree?"
"Since Your Majesty has agreed, I have no reason to refuse. ”
A flash of remorse flashed in Augustus' eyes, and finally turned into a long sigh.
And when he heard that Vega was going to treat the Dragon King and Augustus like this, Meru Scimitar breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he thought that Vega would execute them, but now it seems that this is not the case, since Vega spared the Holy Dragon King and Augustus, then he must be spared as well......
With expectant eyes.
Meru Scimitar looked at Vegal and smiled flatteringly.
But at this time, Vega's words changed sharply, and he said coldly: "As for His Majesty Meru Scimitar, before the canonization ceremony begins, I will publicly put you to death. But don't worry, tonight's final supper, I'll have the chef prepare it and you won't be disappointed. ”
"The Last Supper?"
Meru Scimitar's flattering smile froze on her face.
He didn't expect Vega to treat the Holy Dragon King and Augustus so favorably, but he wanted to kill him.
This made him can't help but ask: "May I ask Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Your Majesty, don't you understand?"
Vega said coldly, "They surrendered to me voluntarily, and you betrayed me. ”
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Meru Scimitar realized that it was not because of his conscience that he spared the lives of the Holy Dragon King and Augustus, but because the Holy Dragon King and Augustus were alive and more useful to Vega, which kept them alive.
And his death was obviously more valuable than the two, so he had to be executed.
It turned out that the little ghost in front of him had never had feelings, and everything was made from the perspective of his own benefit or disadvantage.
It's very simple.
The Holy Dragon King and Augustus were the ones who surrendered on their own initiative.
Vega's kindness to those who surrender in front of everyone will attract other small and medium-sized countries...... Even the Liberal Alliance and the king of the city-state of Gunti surrendered, so as to indirectly break their determination to resist stubbornly.
Meantime.
Vega killed him, the traitor, in front of everyone.
This can also deter those countries that do not want to surrender and want to resist stubbornly, so that they realize that if they do not surrender, once they are defeated, it will be a dead end.
Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
Just treating one person well and executing one person can directly engrave these eight words into the minds of everyone in the Western countries and force them to surrender to Vega on their own initiative, which is really a lucrative business.
Meru Scimitar is dead to ashes.
He knew he was going to die this time.
Just as the Dragon King needed to live, his death was a necessity for Vega.
"Your Majesty, is there no room for negotiation?"
Meru Scimitar's eyes were full of desire to survive: "Even for your sister Alysia's sake, please bypass my life and live the rest of your life, even if you use all means, I will repay you." ”
sacrificed his son, and at this time he still wants to use his daughter?
The stronger Meru Scimitar's desire to survive, the more feared Vega became.
Because Meru Machete's desire to survive is very much like him was and still is.
No, the desire to survive that the six relatives don't recognize has far surpassed that of himself.
Such a person, once he is let live, maybe one day he will bite back.
So Vega shook his head: "Your death is sealed, enjoy the Last Supper." ”
With that, Vega prepared to leave.
After learning that he was going to die, Meru Scimitar seemed to have finally given up the struggle, and he sighed and asked, "People are going to die, but even if they die, please let me die to understand, how did your intelligence system find out that I secretly participated in the meetings of Western countries, I did this matter secretly enough, I am confident that no one will find out." ”
"Hey, Your Majesty Meru, you really participated in the pre-war meeting of the Western countries?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Vega's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "In fact, my intelligence system did not provide me with any information this time, and the reason why I dare to conclude that you have colluded with the West is that I simply believe in your personal ability." ”
"That is to say......"
"Are you guessing?"
"Well, it's just speculation. ”
"Don't take me for a fool!"
Meru Scimitar said angrily: "Just based on a guess, how dare you transfer all the troops at the border pass here, aren't you afraid that if you guess wrong, the leaders of the Western countries will drive straight in, and you will regret it?"
"Didn't I guess right?"
Vega said in a tone of course: "And didn't I say that, with me paving the way for you, I believe that Your Majesty Meru will be able to regain the trust of the Western countries, and I believe in this matter more than I believe in myself." ”
Let's go.
Meru Machete sat back on the floor, his eyes filled with disappointment.
