Jialanguo is not going to attack, but to defend.

This news was exposed, and the major forces in the entire continent can be said to be a big disappointment.

Originally, they thought that the empire and the Jialan Kingdom would be able to stage a dragon battle before the war in the coming year, which would add to their fun, and the Gunti City-State even had the idea that the empire would be able to consume the war species of the Jialan Kingdom. But at the end, he told them that the Jialan Kingdom was not preparing to attack the empire at all, but was arming the border?

All right.

Although Bai was happy, the situation was understandable.

Because at this stage, it is the most wrong option for Jialan to attack the empire, as long as it cannot take the entire territory of the empire before the arrival of spring, it is equivalent to declaring that the war in the coming year will be defeated without fighting.

As long as Jialanguo is a little smarter.

The most important thing to do now is to arrange the defensive line and shrink the forces to survive the siege of the world coalition forces, rather than taking the initiative to provoke a war.

Facts have also proved that Jialan is still quite normal and has made the choice of heavy defense.

It's just that this time's actions were too normal, so that the countries on the mainland didn't think about the normal aspect, and it wasn't until time went by that they suddenly realized that the reason why Jialan did this turned out to be here.

In this way, the empire is reduced to a laughing stock.

Being frightened by a normal move, the temporary adjustment of the 1.6 million army rushed to the border line, and the loss of resources back and forth was astronomical, and it was inevitable not to make people laugh.

Foster wanted to retire at this time.

Since Jialan is not ready to use force against them, then continuing to put the army here is tantamount to wasting resources in vain, and it is better to let the army return to voluntary labor to reduce the loss of resources.

But his opinion was dismissed.

A reply letter was sent from the Imperial Capital back to Forster, and the Imperial Führer Eldir told him: "Vega Saint Laurent is cunning by nature, and is not allowed to withdraw his troops back to the center without permission until the arrival of early winter." ”

"Alas, this Eldil. ”

Foster slapped the letter on the table and called the Führer by name.

He also somewhat understood that Erdir was still worried about Vega, and decided that the Jialan Kingdom was not preparing for a defense at all, but was preparing to wait for an opportunity to attack, so he ordered him to hold out for another three months until the arrival of early winter.

Because winter is not suitable for marching and fighting.

Especially for the attacker, the chances of winning a war in winter are much smaller than in early summer and early autumn. Therefore, as long as he held on until the early winter, it was determined that Jialan Country did not have the idea of attacking.

But on the other hand.

The Jialan Army has made it clear that they don't want to attack, and it is too cautious for you to wait like this, or this can no longer be described as cautious, but should be expressed more realistically with timidity.

Forced by order.

Foster can only take the army here to waste, watching Haussman lead the army every day, build a defense line here today, bury an army there tomorrow, and overthrow it again the day after tomorrow, and build the entire defense line impenetrable.

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit petty.

And Haussman was not ashamed but proud, and jumped up and down the border line with the army, and even drove all the troops to the border line at the most, which frightened Foster again, and Foster found out afterwards that it was Haussman who was fooling himself.

So much so that in the end.

Foster was completely paralyzed and did not believe that Hausman would launch a senseless attack.

The thick smell of gunpowder from the two armies on the border line was dispelled by Haussmann's actions.

Meanwhile.

After half a month, Vega also arrived at the agreed meeting place, the extreme west of the Jialan country, the city of eternal hope.

It was here that the last hope of the Old Kingdom was buried.

But it has to be mentioned that although the reputation of the city of eternal hope is a little worse, it is a real important city.

This city is the closest to the Jialan Mountains, and if the Western countries want to invade the Jialan Empire in the coming year, it can be said that this is the only way for them to pass, and it is also the place where they will definitely fight. So there was an entire army group stationed here, under the command of Tenniel, and a lieutenant general of the Old Kingdom.

Under heavy guards.

Vega is even more sure that this is not a trap.

If it is a trap, the attraction of the name Old Scimitar to Vega could have been placed outside the borders or on the edge of the border, rather than in the absolute safety of the city of Eternal Hope.

According to the agreed time.

Vega led the guards to a tavern.

It's a mix of people of all kinds, and it's a pretty secret meeting place.

Squeak –

Opening the door of the private room, Vega and the guards walked in, and he found that the other party had been waiting in the private room for a long time.

There were three people in the private room, the middle-aged man sat in the middle of the position, a young mage holding a staff on the left, and a girl about 15 years old on the right.

"The Grand Patriarch of the Hundred Tribes, Meru Scimitar, see Your Majesty. ”

As soon as the thin middle-aged man who called himself Meru saw Vega coming in, he immediately pulled the two of them to their knees, and his whole body was full of humility from top to bottom, but the young magician on the side followed him on his knees with some reluctance.

"Meru Machete?"

Vega sat down in his seat, poured a glass of juice into his cup, and then said, "Get up and talk first, I want to know what you have to do with Holt Machete." ”

Meru stood up tremblingly.

He humbly said, "Report to Your Majesty, Holt Scimitar is my uncle. ”

"What about Holt Scimitar? Why don't you come to see me. ”

"My uncle had been seriously injured more than a year ago and had died in the Hui clan. ”

"Holt Machete has ......"

Vega opened his mouth, and finally closed it again.

After all, the old scimitar had made a great contribution to him, and before he saw his tribe become a sovereign independent country, he left this world directly, which made Vega a little sad.

"So what is the patriarch here for?"

Vega turned his gaze to Meru, who was a relative of Old Scimitar after all, and Vega's expression softened.

"I can't hide it, this time I came at the behest of my uncle. ”

Meru said with a sad look in his eyes, "Uncle asked us to find an opportunity to come to you with a gift before we died, and let me bring you a word......

"What did Holt Scimitar leave behind?"

Vega had somewhat guessed some of the old cutlas's last words, but asked knowingly.

Meru didn't answer Vega's question immediately, but first placed a delicate box in front of Vega, and opened it, "This is a gift that Uncle asked me to bring you, and let me remind you not to forget the original promise. ”
