The northern part of the empire, the city of Lops.

Less than five days before the arrival of Imperial reinforcements, the Imperial Red Eagle Banner on a black background over the city of Ropps was broken at the waist, and the banner of the Northern Power with a sword and staff pattern slowly rose.

The ruler of the northern regime is, of course, Vega.

As interim president, he enjoyed supreme power and now had more than 460,000 Imperial soldiers at his disposal.

As seen, as heard.

When Vega defeated Foster, the 160,000 soldiers captured by the situation naturally could not escape the clutches, and they were reorganized into an army of 300,000 by Vega, so the overall power of Vega rose again and again, completely establishing the status of the king of the north.

Kareni is the gateway to the north.

Roppus is the heart of the North.

One city on top and one city below, they are like two towering giant gods guarding the entire northern hinterland.

Now Vega can confidently say in front of the empire, even if your empire has millions of reinforcements, you don't want to take advantage of me.

That's how important Lops City is.

If Kareni is outside, then Ropps is inside.

Historically, the empire was not unbeaten and almost destroyed, but the top leaders of the empire repeatedly fled to the north, using the north as the foundation to recuperate, and then make a comeback when the time comes, because the north is like the terrain of a country within a country.

Therefore, without the empire of the city of Lops, it is almost impossible to recover the north in a short time.

Getting the north means a lot to Vega.

And not just because the north is connected to the Holy Dynasty.

Also because the north is famous for mining, these mines are the main raw materials for the production of war airships, and now the Holy Dynasty has eaten through the basic technology of war airships, with these resources, I believe that in the near future Vega will explode a large number of air forces.

This time it can be said that it is a thousand shots to win.

If it had been five days later, the tide of battle would have changed completely, and he might even have lost his life.

This war, by now, is actually no longer a strategy, but a fight for whose heart is stronger and whose perseverance is more determined.

As the turning point of the war was on the tenth day that followed.

At that time, both Vega and Foster were under great pressure.

Vega was afraid that Foster would find out what he was secretly planning and so he couldn't get a good night's sleep for ten days, and Foster was also afraid that Vega would play some kind of conspiracy, so he would make a decision in a panic when Vega advanced and retreated.

It turns out.

Under such high pressure, Vega's ability to resist pressure is finally superior, although Foster has experienced a hundred battles, but unfortunately when he was only one step away from victory, he was directly crushed by the high pressure, and now he has become Vega's prisoner.

"I lost this battle convincingly. ”

Foster sat across from Vega and looked at Vega with great admiration.

When the war was over, Foster had already reflected deeply during the days he had been imprisoned, and he had realized that although he seemed to be calmer than Vega in the last ten days, he was in fact completely confused, but he didn't know it.

The reason is simple.

He lost so much.

Although he said that he would defend Ropps and wait for reinforcements, he would throw away what he lost, and he would learn to break his wrist as a strong man.

But as soon as he heard that the Argonian declared war on the dynasty, and saw that Vega was no longer able to attack the city of Ropps, the unwilling anger in his heart surged up again, and he couldn't wait to get back on the field, in a vain attempt to get back on the field.

So in Foster's opinion now.

His next few battles were completely chaotic, and all his decisions were manipulated by the heart of gain and loss.

But man is not God after all.

It is human beings who cannot escape the manipulation of emotions, whether it is Foster or Vega, no one is exempt.

Vega will also panic, and he will also make mistakes.

Either fight or retreat, Vega also hesitated for a long time on both issues, he wanted to fight and retreat, and then Foster found a flaw and dragged him in the city of Lops, so that twenty days were wasted in vain, and finally he was cornered.

Your Excellency praised it. ”

Hearing Foster's praise, Vega put down his thoughts and smiled ashamedly, and then asked casually: "May I ask Your Excellency is interested in serving my northern government?" Now that the north has 460,000 Imperial Army, 5 aviation regiments, 12 civil aviation airship formations, and the Holy Dynasty is the alliance of life and death, I think this stage is enough for Your Excellency to show your talents." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. ”

Foster shook his head, resolutely refusing to recognize the identity of the northern regime of Vega, and said, "My name is Foster Nolan. ”

The answer is already very clear.

The meaning of this sentence is that he Foster has the surname of the empire, and as the owner of the surname, he will choose to die, but he will never do anything to surrender, let alone serve the puppet government.

Vega knows this very well.

When Foster was surrounded by Vega, he did not surrender on his knees like other officers who were greedy for life and feared death, he stood firmly in place, even if the soldiers wanted to kill him, he did not blink an eye, and finally Vega ordered him to be forcibly taken into custody, so Vega did not have much hope for Foster's surrender.

Even so.

Vega still wants to recruit Ann Foster.

There is a way that it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.

Although the north was taken, after he returned to the Holy Dynasty, who would be there to keep this huge family business?

After thinking about it, there was no one under his command to use.

Although there are many officers under his command, there are no officers like Foster who can turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment and fight a miracle battle, while the empire has more than a dozen such officers.

Whether or not a miracle battle can be fought is a watershed moment between ordinary generals and super generals.

Leaving some mediocre officers in the north doesn't make any difference to giving the north back to the Empire.

Therefore, he urgently needs a high-ranking officer like Foster to guard the north, and only with such an officer can Vega return to the Holy Dynasty with confidence and boldness, and deal with the Argonian army wholeheartedly.

So why did Vega recruit Foster?

Honor, money, status......

It's a pity that Foster probably can't look down on these things, because he is already standing at the top of the imperial pyramid, even if it is a big defeat like this, the empire will still not be able to convict him, and will even do everything possible to redeem Foster, and when things cool down, he may be entrusted with a heavy responsibility again.

The existence at the top of the pyramid is never beyond the law.

Therefore, if you want to tempt Foster with these means, I am afraid that Foster will think that you are insulting his dignity.

But it's man-made.

In Vega's opinion, the city of Kareni, which is known as the city that will never fall, was plowed twice by the kingdom's army, and he ploughed it again, and the second city, which was said to be absolutely impossible to fall, was now also in his hands.

Thus.

No matter how invulnerable a city is, there will be loopholes.

Is it also possible to think that no matter how loyal a person is, he will have a weakness?

The answer is yes.

Vega believes that as long as Foster's weaknesses are found, he can control Foster to serve his cause.
