The City of Fire and Ice.

Jialan Army General Headquarters.

As the commander-in-chief of this operation, Hausman received a message from Vega, which told Hausman that the Jialan Empire had signed an alliance with the hundred tribes in the empire, and agreed to open the door for the Jialan army to attack at that time.

This news is crucial for Haussmann.

Such a covert movement in the northwest direction is 100% imperceptible to the empire, which means that as long as an army is sent, it can easily take the entire northwest under the premise that the empire is defenseless, and then the sword blade is directed at the middle of the empire.

"Your Majesty. ”

Hausman smiled wryly.

He toiled up and down here for half a day, but he couldn't remove the enemy's vigilance, but Vega opened up such a stealthy offensive path without much effort for more than half a month, and it was clear which was higher and which was strategic.

"I'm going to have to work on it here. ”

Hausman looked at the map.

He divided his forces into two parts, as long as he could take the whole northeast of the city, mainly the cities of Kareni and Lops, and the troops on the west bank could capture the eastern part of the empire, which was dominated by the cities of Elkia and Xrantu, plus the whole northwest of the territory obtained by Vega.

When the time comes, the three spearheads will be directed at the middle of the empire.

Then the demise of the empire will turn into an ironclad thing, which means that taking the empire in three months is not an unattainable dream, but something that is actually possible.

"It's just that this empire, when will it retreat?"

Hausman frowned a little, he had obviously shown a harmless appearance, but the Imperial army was still stationed in Kareni City, and there was no intention of retreating.

"For now, it seems that we can only wait. ”

Haussman finally sighed and prepared to wait any longer, while ordering the troops to keep their movements up and down in order to continue to confuse the Imperial Army.

The other side.

Vega had returned to Saint Laurent with Alicia.

Vega didn't give birth to a true brother-sister relationship with this cheap sister, but only treated her as a bond that would keep the contract going.

Of course.

Vega didn't have any dislike for her, either.

Although the other party is only fifteen years old, he does not show adolescent rebellion, but is very well-behaved and obedient, if you point to the east, she will not go west, in the face of such a little girl, of course, Vega treats each other politely.

"Alysia, I've wronged you these days. ”

Gathered around the campfire, Vega said to Alicia, "But rest assured, you will be in Saint Laurent in three days, and this hard life of eating and sleeping in the wild will soon be over." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. ”

Alysia smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do here, please don't worry about me." ”

"Since you are already my sister, you don't have to be so polite, just call me brother. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Brother. ”

Alysia's voice was quite gentle, and her smile was very bright, but in Vega's ears, there was no emotion.

And that's not all.

Vega also saw another thing in Alysia's body—

Fear.

Although the other party covered it up very well, Vega, who was good at observing words and feelings, could still see it clearly, and for so many days, Alysia had always tensed her nerves and did not relax for a minute.

This fear eventually caused Alysia to fall ill.

It should be said that the tense nerves kept Alysia from getting a good night's sleep, plus sleeping in the open and the long journey, even the soldiers were a little tired, not to mention a fifteen-year-old girl who had never been far away.

"How's Alysia?"

Vega asked the accompanying military doctor who had treated Alysia.

"Report to Your Majesty, now it's just a cold plus a fever. ”

The medic paused for a moment, then said, "But in this case, if you continue to travel long distances, your condition may continue to deteriorate. ”

"I see, you go down first. ”

Vega turned his gaze to another soldier, "Scout, are there any cities around here?"

"It's a day and a half away from the nearest Lilta town. ”

"The herald ordered him to rest in place tomorrow. ”

Although it would take three more days to reach Saint Laurent, Vega thought about it and decided to set up camp in the wilderness.

He didn't want Alysia to have three longs and two shorts.

Because Alysia is the bond of the covenant after all, and the covenant has just been concluded, and when something happens to Alysia, I am afraid that this covenant will be declared bankrupt directly.

"Your Majesty, yes, I'm sorry. ”

Inside the tent, on the hospital bed, Alysia timidly said to Vega, "Please leave me alone, I can still hold on." ”

"Are you afraid of me?"

Vega gets straight to the point.

This sentence also made Alysia's face pale: "No, no, how can I be afraid of Your Majesty and Your Majesty...... Brother. ”

"Looks like Patriarch Meru has put a lot of pressure on you. ”

Vega said to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, he's probably asking you to try to be my wife, right?"

"Y-How do you know?"

Alysia had a look of trepidation: "Brother...... No, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hide ......"

"Alright. ”

Vega interrupted with a wave of his hand, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to tell you that now that you have left your father's side, I will not force you to do anything other than to ensure your safety." In other words, now that you are free, you can be selfish and disobey your father's commands. ”

Disobeying your father's commands?

This kind of thing Alysia never considered.

But Vega's words sounded too tempting to tempt her to hell like a demon's whisper.

"Is this really possible?"

"Of course there is no problem. ”

Vega said straight to the point: "Your father left you in the Jialan Empire, if nothing else, as a bond to maintain the friendship between the two countries, he will not let you go back in this life, so just abandon all scruples." Whether it's eating, drinking, having fun, whatever you want to do, as long as you don't leave the capital city of Saint Laurent, I will give you the greatest freedom. ”

"Is it really possible to leave everything behind?"

Alysia asked again uncertainly.

"No problem at all, even if you want to find someone to fall in love with. ”

Vega said with a smile: "Of course, the matter of love can't be too high-profile, after all, you are now the only princess of the Jialan Empire, and you still have to pay attention to the dignity and glory of the royal family." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty...... Brother, it's not at all the same as the rumors, it turns out that you are a good person, brother. ”

Alysia's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

"Good guys? hahaha. ”

Vega was amused by this sentence, if Alysia knew that he said so much, he just wanted to untie her heart knot, so that her illness would be cured quickly, so as not to drag him back, I don't know if she would think so.

Bad Taste thought about it for a moment, and Vega said goodbye to Alysia: "Don't be too reluctant, then rest early." ”

It turns out.

As soon as this heart knot was untied, and after only one day, Alysia's illness was almost cured, and she could return home.
