Chapter 629: A Different Way
"May I ask Your Majesty, do you have the courage to give it a go?"
"Your Excellency, it doesn't hurt to say, I still have this mental preparation. ”
When Aiden Gary asked this question, Archduke Baya did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer.
Perhaps for the empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which has a big family, it is a very luxurious thing to give it a go, but as the weakest existence in the East, they have no way out.
Give it a go, and maybe there's a glimmer of life.
Sitting back and waiting for death will only bring about your own destruction.
When the catastrophe comes, there will be no chance to give it a go.
Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger.
The Grand Duke of Baya was mentally prepared to either take the Principality of Baya to new heights or disappear in the long river of history.
"Your Majesty is so determined, why worry about the big thing?"
Aiden Gary gathered all the soldier pieces in the Principality of Baya on the map: "First, please ask Your Majesty to transfer back all the soldiers stationed on the border, and at the same time collect the resources of each city to replenish the treasury. ”
"Your Excellency, is this going to fight Vega Saint Laurent to the death?"
Grand Duke Baya frowned, because he had also had this idea, but he had already vetoed it at the first time, because taking the current army of the Principality of Baya against Vega was purely an egg hitting a stone, which made him suddenly a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty is wrong. ”
Aiden Gary picked up the chess piece and smiled slightly: "Our goal is not Vega, nor the Empire, nor the Holy Dragon Kingdom. ”
"What do you mean?"
Grand Duke Baya's eyes regained their brightness, and he suddenly remembered that Aiden had deliberately asked him to change the world map before, could it be Aiden's real purpose......
"That's right! It's the West!"
Aiden Gary said categorically: "Using the foundation of the current Duchy of Baya, coupled with our geographical location, we are fully capable of conducting expeditions across the mountain range, in terms of geographical location, is there anyone in the Eastern Countries who is closer to the Jialan Mountain Range than us?"
"No! not a single one. ”
Aiden Gary continued: "Recently, I have been wondering, what is the reason why the Principality of Baya can be promoted to a sovereign state in such troubled times, become one of the real great powers in the East, and initially have the ability to compete with other countries?"
"Just because of the support of the dynasty and Vega?"
"No, I don't think so. ”
Aiden Gary said succinctly: "I think that the fundamental reason for the real leap in the strength of the Principality of Baya and the initial ability to confront the great powers in a short period of time is that we have annexed more than a dozen vassal states. ”
"Your Excellency, please. ”
Archduke Baya's eyes flashed, and he was obviously very interested.
"It is difficult to defeat the strong with the weak, and it is easy to bully the weak with the strong. ”
Aiden Gary pointed out the way out for the Principality of Baya: "I think that in the East, our Principality of Baya may be bullied by everyone, but in the West, there are many countries that are weaker than us, and every time we annex a country, our strength will increase, and if we annex several countries in a short time, the national strength of the entire Principality of Baya will get a qualitative leap like last time." ”
The court fell silent.
Aiden Gary is like a complete madman: "Even if it doesn't work, we can have a way to retreat to the West, and when the time comes, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback, not like now, once defeated, there is no way back." ”
Tick Tick –
Everyone was silent.
Those of you here understand very well how the Duchy of Baya has grown from a small principality to a large eastern power, that is, it has grown itself by constantly bullying the weak with the strong, and then constantly annexing other countries.
Full of money.
It has been less than a year since the Principality of Baya was promoted to a great power, but their overall strength has already surpassed 50% of the great powers in the West, which is not worth mentioning on Vega, but for other forces, it is already incredibly fast.
This is the only strength of the Principality of Baya -
Swallow up the weak, strengthen yourself, and then see the original strong as the weak.
But since the Principality of Baya became a great power, they have forgotten their strengths...... No, it shouldn't be said that he has forgotten, but that his strengths have been firmly limited by Vega, the Empire, and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Aiden Gary saw the pattern of the rise of the Principality of Baya.
Therefore, he believes that it is completely possible not to stay in the East, shift the focus to the West, to annex countries that are weaker than himself in the West, and then grow bigger until it grows into a behemoth that any power must pay attention to.
It has to be said that it is very risky.
After all, the expedition to the West across the Jialan Mountains is a war from which there is no return, whether won or lost.
With the resources and strength of the empire, it may be enough for them to come and go, but with the meager foundation of the Principality of Baya, once it crosses the Jialan Mountains, it can only fend for itself.
Either destroy the Western countries and strengthen themselves, or stay in the West forever because the resources are exhausted.
And once the plan is implemented.
This means that the center of gravity of the Principality of Baya will move to the west, and sooner or later it will have to abandon the eastern roots, and even give everything in the east to Vega, which requires great courage.
"Lord Aiden, can I trust you?"
"Will Your Majesty believe in yourself?"
"Hahaha!"
Baya laughed openly: "Your Excellency has been defeated repeatedly, has not tasted a single victory, the lonely king is at the end of the road, and the danger is at stake, you and I are both complete losers, both losers, I understand your desire for victory better than anyone else, so come on-"
"Bet on the rise and fall of the Principality of Baya. ”
Grand Duke Baya drew his cross sword: "In the name of 'King of the Principality of Baya', I appoint Aiden Gary as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, in charge of the 500,000 soldiers of the Principality of Baya, and immediately conquer the west!"
Archduke Baya gambled everything.
Aiden Gary pressed the treasure on the Duchy of Baya.
One is at the end of the road, the country is dying in an instant, and the other is repeatedly defeated, dreaming of proving himself.
When two losers come together, no one knows what kind of sparks will erupt.
But what is certain is that the Principality of Baya will definitely drag the Western countries who are watching from the wall into the water and pour a bucket of hot oil on the war in the Jialan Continent.
In the next ten days.
The Duchy of Baya began to concentrate its forces and resources, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was going to start a war.
Vega, who had heard the information, had already frowned.
To be honest, he didn't think that the Principality of Baya would also make any moves, in his eyes, the Principality of Baya has always been an existence that can be slaughtered by others, compared to several countries in the East, they are simply a large vassal state.
"So what is the Principality of Baya going to do?"
Vega really can't guess this, it seems that he is killing himself if he provokes any country.
Could it be that Aiden Gary is really a scourge?
Wherever you go, bad luck befalls you.
Although he didn't take the Principality of Baya in his eyes, he didn't even bother to guess the other party's next moves.
However, just in case, Vega still let the Jialan army move closer to the border line, so as to prevent the dynasty army from being caught off guard by the Principality of Baya from the rear when they started a war against the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
