Chapter 908: The Royal Road
The sudden fall of the Principality of Baya was a wake-up call for the nations.
The nations realized that this wave of democracy was not as simple as they had imagined.
Underestimating the fate of this wave of democratic winds will inevitably be torn apart by the winds of democracy, and the Principality of Baya has already learned from the past.
But the nations are hard to return.
At this critical moment, it is still beyond the power to deal with Vega, and if it is to carry out drastic reforms, I am afraid that they will die worse than the Principality of Baya. Even if they were lucky enough to complete the reform, what extra energy would they have to fight against Vega?
To move forward is to die, and to go back is to die.
Like puppets, the kings of the kingdoms were destined to be labeled as great nobles and large landowners, and pushed to the front of the stage to fight against Vega.
They represented the entire class of nobles and landlords, but they did not have the corresponding support of this class, rather that the majority of their class wanted them to surrender so that the war would not affect their interests.
Civilians are united.
The capitals are intrigued.
Vega rode the wind and waves, and with this wind of democracy, he was supported by the majority of civilians and revolutionary troops everywhere he went, which allowed him to take the city and conquer the enemy without much effort.
The power of civilians is greater than imagined.
Once the civilians are united, there is no invincible enemy in this world, all they lack is a confidence in victory, and a leader, and Vega is such a leader now.
As the only representative of the people's class.
Vega acts as the number one and only pawn of this class-
The sword is invincible.
Because 99 percent of this world is made up of civilians, civilians are the world.
In other words, Vega represents the will of the world.
To point your weapon at Vega is to be the enemy of the world.
As Aiden Ghalidus said, he had the courage to confront Vega and wield his weapon at Vega, but he did not have the courage to be the enemy of the world. The end of confronting the whole world is inevitably to be crushed into ashes by the world.
As the depths of winter are about to pass.
Vega miraculously went from being in a dilemma and almost annihilating the army to occupying most of the West.
This is no longer enough to describe it as a miracle, but as a miracle.
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. β
King Strachey of the Liberty League has been repeating this phrase over and over again for the last ten days.
Today, he finally knows what is the true way of being a king, and what is called the wise saying.
If he had realized this earlier, he would not have chosen to side with the aristocracy and landlord class, but began to carry out reforms decades ago, slowly weakening the power of this class, and at the same time shifting the focus to the common people.
But it's too late now.
Reform is not an overnight thing, Vega started from scratch, empty, can do whatever he wants, does not mean that the 10,000-year-old Freedom Alliance can do so. If he really wants to make up his mind to eradicate this class, it is still unknown whether the resistance will be so great as to swallow him up directly.
"General Swinburne, what should I do?"
Strayge's expression was full of pain, and he felt helpless that he knew the key but couldn't do anything.
"Your Majesty, please. β
Swinburn bowed and said, "Are you willing to fight a war with no chance of winning and end up on the battlefield, or are you willing to surrender and live a peaceful life in your old age like the Grand Duke of Baya and the Holy Dragon King?"
"You're going to persuade me to surrender?"
Strach's tone became serious: "Judging from the current situation, we really have no hope of victory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a war that must be lost, but if I had to choose, I would still choose to die on the battlefield." β
"Your Majesty obviously said that he was going to surrender before. Swinburne smiled gentlemanly.
"Hahaha, it's true that he said he was going to surrender. β
Strachage smiled happily, "But if I am really asked to do it, I will definitely not surrender." If you give up seemingly hopelessly, there will be no legends and epics in this world, don't you find that kind of world boring?"
"Come on. β
Strachage looked at the setting sun, and Sunset dyed him golden: "We should also learn from that little imp and come to a real 'win or die' battle, I don't have Aiden Gary's war talent, nor do I have Vega Saint Laurent's ability to manipulate the world, but I have an ambition to fight the whole world!"
"Even if there is defeat or no victory?"
"Even if there is defeat and no victory!"
"Even if there is no life?"
"Even if there is no life in ten deaths!"
With his back to the sunset, Straych turned to look at Swinburn: "I'm not a general, I'm a king." If a general does not fight a defeated and invincible battle, how can a king of a fallen country be a minister of another country? Grand Duke Baya and the Holy Dragon King have lost their dignity as kings. β
Straych picked up the cross-sword that symbolized power and status, and stood in front of Swinburn: "General Swinburne Raphael, are you willing to accompany me to the end in this last battle?"
The last rays of the setting sun fell on the blade of the sword.
Swinburne Raphael knelt down on one knee and took the cross-sword: "The subordinate is a general, and a real general does not fight a defeated and invincible battle. But before I am a general, I am first and foremost a courtier of Your Majesty, as a courtierβ"
"The Lord dishonored his ministers to death. β

Gunti City-State.
Carol became a veritable tyrant.
Lately, he has killed all the courtiers, soldiers, and civilians who have stood in his way or dared to resist him.
Now across the country, Carroll's existence has become outrageous.
As a direct result of this, the number of believers is decreasing, and the faith is declining.
As of now.
Carol's strength has fallen out of the star mage, which has caused Carol to be more irritable than before.
Since ancient times, there has been a nest of snakes and rats.
Carroll's actions drove away the insightful, but left behind a group of mercenary villains.
Since ancient times, the gentleman has been known for righteousness, and the villain has been for profit.
Gentlemen have their own bottom line, in order to achieve the goal and know what to do and what to do, they will look at the problem from a long-term perspective, but for the villain, the bottom line does not exist. In order to protect their own interests, do everything.
Now these villains are on the same side as Carol.
They understand that Carol and they are both prosperous and loss-making, and that once the Jialan Army takes over this place, they will lose everything they have now. So they pinned their hopes on Carol and began to give advice to Carol.
Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
It is precisely because this group of people does not have a long-term vision that they are very proficient in the way of fishing with all their might.
They offered Carol a very vicious ploy to help Carol increase her strength - Forced Faith.
