After stabilization.

It's time to use force.

Vega came this time, but he didn't really covet the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

This territory is actually quite a chicken rib for the Jialan Empire, because it is separated by the Jialan Mountain Range, the resources here cannot be transported to the east, and it is difficult to transport the materials from the east to the west...... and so on.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Beyond the Jialan Mountains, there is another world, and even in the east far from the Jialan Mountains, I have never heard of such a vast world beyond the mountains.

Therefore.

For countries that do not want to focus on the West, this land can indeed be said to be tasteless and a pity to abandon.

This is like the original Duchy of Baya and the Kingdom of the Holy Dragon.

Either the center of gravity should be shifted from the West and the East should be completely emptied, or the East should be used as the base point and a small part of the forces will be placed in the West. It has never been heard of a country that allows the development of the territories of the East and the West to go hand in hand.

The same is true of the Jialan Empire.

Vega knew very well that once the winter came, he would have to give up this place in pain.

It is impossible to give up.

Although the chicken ribs are tasteless, it is a pity to discard them.

Therefore, Vega came up with a way to directly let this place form its own operating system in the form of an independent state.

This is the purpose of the establishment of the Holy Dragon Province.

Nominally.

The province of the Holy Dragon is part of the Jialan Empire, but in fact, it has independent political, military, legal, and cultural ...... And the king who rules here is Habitat Rodney, who stepped down from the intelligence department of the Jialan Empire.

Now Jialan's intelligence department has been handed over to Mennonite.

Qi Lisi has a high degree of autonomy in this land, especially in the winter when the ice and snow close the Jialan Mountains, and the headquarters of the Jialan Empire can hardly take care of the West, at this time, it needs a reliable person to withstand the pressure in the West.

Of course.

It will take a year or two to complete this project alone, just to establish an independent army in the Holy Dragon Province and complete the relevant training, and now it is completely dependent on 500,000 Jialan troops in the town.

However, if the 500,000 troops really want to be used for national defense, I am afraid that even the border line will not be enough to defend.

As a result, 99 percent of the cities, even the major ones, do not have any regular army, and only some improvised security forces maintain order in the cities. At this time, if other countries attacked, they would have little ability to resist.

But at least until winter, no country dares to cross the border even a single step.

Because the existence of the Jialan Empire and Vega is too scary.

No one wants to provoke Vega at this time, so that Vega will directly start a war between the East and the West in a fit of anger. When the time comes, millions of troops will cross the Jialan Mountain Range, and the countries that offend the Holy Dragon Province will probably be set up by the Western countries alone to worship the heavens.

To be precise, not to mention attacking the Holy Dragon Province.

Even if they supported the Duchy of Baya, they would not dare.

This was confirmed by Vega when he led his army south to attack the Duchy of Baya.

Because of this, Vega breathed a sigh of relief.

He was sure that he had bluffed the other Western nations.

In fact, it is not as bad as the Western countries imagined, and once it provokes him, it will escalate the war, which is purely frightened by the West itself. He doesn't have the ability to let the five million army cross the Jialan Mountains and set off the final decisive battle, if he can do it, he will do it a long time ago, because neither time nor national strength allows him to do it.

The vitality of the West has been greatly damaged, and the Jialan Empire is also in ruins.

The resources consumed to mobilize more than 5 million troops for an expedition were astronomical, and the little money left in the original imperial treasury was not enough for the post-war reconstruction work.

So Vega is now making an attempt.

Try to take the Principality of Baya, and then use the ready-made team of the Principality of Baya to gain a foothold in the West, so that you may be able to forcibly hold the territory in winter. At the end of spring next year, when the ice and snow melt and the east wants to invade the west, there will be a direct springboard that will not be hindered by the moat of the Jialan Mountains.

This time the expedition to the west.

In fact, the anger over the Duchy of Baya is only one of them.

After all, Vega's anger is anger, and he won't let anger overwhelm his reason.

Therefore, borrowing chickens to lay eggs is the real purpose of Vega's unknown reality.

Neither the West nor the Jialan country knew that what Vega wanted was to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, not only to destroy the Principality of Baya, but also to take away a set of teams that the Principality of Baya had spent several years to build.

Of course, the difficulty of doing so is self-evident.

First, he should not send too large an army, because if there are too many troops, it will arouse the alarm of the West.

The idea that the West as a whole entered the war became a fantasy.

Second, he had to hurry.

There are only less than 4 months left for Vega, and in 4 months, if he can't take the Duchy of Baya, he can only be forced to retreat to the east, give up the Holy Dragon Daxing Province, and forcibly stay in the west, with a high probability of being besieged by wolves.

Once the time dragged over the years.

The countries that have recovered some vitality will not ignore Vega's occupation of the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom like this time, and when the time comes, they will definitely block the Jialan army around the Jialan Mountain Range, so that the Jialan Army will shed three layers of skin just by crossing the mountain range.

So it's a matter of success or failure.

Four months is the dead line of Vega, and the success rate of unifying the West will increase to 80% in the coming year!

This is a crucial battle.

Vega didn't dare to guarantee victory, he could only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and if he was victorious, he was happy, but if he returned in vain, he should vent his anger and disgust the Principality of Baya, but there was nothing to lose.

This is the advantage of taking the initiative in the war.

Unlike the Principality of Baya, if you win, you don't earn, and if you lose, you have nothing. For Vega, winning can be said to be a big profit, and it doesn't matter if you lose, the forces that have completed the primitive accumulation of capital can always do whatever they want.

Cross the border and stand on the high ground.

Vega looked at his first goal—

The northeastern part of the Principality of Baya, the City of Dawn, San Simonsi.

The City of Dawn is located near the Jialan Mountains, is one of the checkpoint cities in the Jialan Mountains, and is also the core strategic point of the border of the Principality of Baya.

I don't know if it's intentional or a coincidence.

Vega finally chose this city as his breakthrough point, and its significance could not be more obvious -

Bury Hope!
