Chapter 881: Holy Dragon Great Province
There is a give-and-take.
Aiden Gary, who has suffered too much, is not the kind of person who is blind.
He clearly knew that if he coveted the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom now, he would only end up dragging himself down because of the excessively long defensive line, allowing himself to fall into passivity, and even being directly destroyed by the Jialan Kingdom.
At this time, abandoning the Holy Dragon Country, shrinking the defense line, and returning to the mainland is the best way to retreat.
Because in half a year, winter will come.
As long as they can defend for half a year, the heavy snow will freeze the Jialan Mountain Range, and the 500,000 Jialan troops here will have no way out, and the reinforcements of the Jialan Empire will not be able to support in time.
So when winter comes.
If Vega doesn't go, then he will face the malice of the whole West.
If you want to describe it, it's like a lamb falling into a pack of wolves.
Rise up and attack.
Not to mention a mere 500,000 troops, even if another 500,000 is just a meal on their plate.
After taking down the 500,000 troops, the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom occupied by them will naturally return to its original owner, so this retreat is just for a better return next time.
Aiden Gary told Archduke Baya about this.
After hearing Aiden Gary's analysis, Archduke Baya immediately smiled and stopped frowning as before.
If you only hand over the territory for about half a year, you can get it back, and you can also destroy the prestige of the Jialan Kingdom by the way, he is still willing to do this kind of business, and he still understands the reason for giving and taking.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. ”
Aiden Gary assured: "Although the lower officials do not dare to assert 100% that they can defeat Vega, but shrink the defensive line, the strength of the whole country is still confident enough to block the attack of the Jialan Empire for half a year, please rest assured that Your Majesty can do so." ”
"Naturally, I believe in the general's abilities. ”
Grand Duke Baya let out a sigh, and then ordered an officer, "Immediately order, all the troops in the Holy Dragon Kingdom will withdraw to their own country. At the same time, he sent a letter to tell Vega Saint Laurent that our country was only helping him to manage the Holy Dragon Kingdom on his behalf, and that there was absolutely no intention of violating territorial sovereignty or trampling on dignity, and asked His Majesty Vega Saint Laurent not to misunderstand. ”
"The next official will do it. ”
"Wait. ”
The officer was about to leave, but was stopped by Archduke Baya.
He grinned and said, "Add one more sentence at the end of the letter, and say that His Majesty Vega Saint Laurent will be asked to pay the management fee on his behalf." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The officer left the chamber.
Archduke Baya, who had solved the puzzle, laughed at this.
After making sure that Vega had no way to do it, the last thing he said was to disgust Vega.
Meantime.
With the order of the Grand Duke of Baya, the principality army on the Holy Dragon Kingdom began to withdraw to the mainland. However, before retreating, the Duchy army carried out a raid and looting as usual, leaving a large mess for Vega.
Therefore, when Vega came to the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
He was shocked to find that the whole country was in shambles.
Of course, he also received a taunting letter from the Grand Duke of Baya.
For these two things, Vega didn't care.
These two petty childish behaviors not only failed to cause him any trouble, but could even be said to have helped him indirectly.
Why can I say that?
Originally, the government of the Principality of Baya took over when the government of the Holy Dragon Kingdom fell and the whole country fell into panic, stabilizing the overall situation, which was equivalent to indirectly gaining the favor of civilians and merchants, and everyone longed for a stable and orderly environment.
And for this Jialan country that will come from afar.
The civilians must be quite hostile, because it is the Jialan Kingdom that has destroyed the peace here. At this time, even if the principality army withdraws from the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the people's hearts will inevitably be on the side of the Principality of Baya, and most of them will probably hope that the principality army will be able to return here one day.
But at this time.
The Grand Duke of Baya was so childish that he didn't forget to loot a layer of land before leaving.
This unfriendly behavior directly caused the civilians whose interests were damaged to no longer have a good impression of the Principality of Baya, and it could even be said that they were hostile to the rogue bandits of the Principality Army.
Without the Principality Army, the whole country, of course, was once again in disarray.
At this time, the Jialan Army re-entered the mastery, and it was naturally very easy to win the hearts of the people.
Compared to winning the hearts and minds of the people, Vega thinks that the other messes are simply not worth mentioning.
Therefore, for the behavior of the Grand Duke of Baya, Vega not only didn't care at all, if he really met the Grand Duke of Baya, maybe he would thank him for being this bad guy and greatly helping the Jialan Army.
And that's the key point.
Neither Archduke Baya nor Aiden Gary saw it.
Grand Duke Baya and Aiden Gary, who have always been in the top positions, of course, do not take into account the interests of the lower levels of the pyramid, they only care about themselves, so it seems reasonable for them to search before leaving, so they don't feel that there is anything wrong.
It's better to say.
But all the powerful people who were born with golden spoons would not pay attention to this, they were used to it.
Only by crossing over, coupled with the grassroots Viga, will not ignore these details.
So in the next.
Vega did not rush to use force against the Principality of Baya, but began to stabilize the situation.
After thinking about the pros and cons, he did not take the army to the former capital of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but stationed in a major city near the Jialan Mountain Range and the closest to the east, the name of this city is the City of the Starwind, Xilin Laner.
On the day of entering the city.
Vega announced the establishment of the Jialan Empire in the west, the Great Province of the Holy Dragon, and designated the provincial capital as the City of Starwind, Xilin Laner.
At the same time, he appointed Cinis Rodney as a high-ranking official in the province of the Holy Dragon, in charge of military and political power, and enjoyed supremacy, and appointed Tennier Rheinberg as the supreme military commander of the province of the Holy Dragon, in charge of military power, but was restrained by Grace Rodney.
At last.
In order to stabilize the Holy Dragon Province, Vega appointed the Holy Dragon King and Augustus as honorary and high-ranking officials in the Holy Dragon Province, respectively, but they still only enjoyed honors and did not enjoy political participation and political power.
The Jialan Army suppressed the rioters, established a security force, and took power.
This, coupled with the return of the previous king, has given them renewed confidence.
The chaotic situation quickly stabilized.
In the end, because of the stability and order given to them by the Jialan Country, the impression of the civilians on the Jialan Kingdom began to gradually improve.
Of course, the Holy Dragon King and Augustus, who were canonized again, were of course not happy, the corpses were already cold, but they didn't expect Vega to let them go, and they actually dragged them here to whip the corpses, and asked them how happy they were.
This is nothing short of a huge humiliation!
However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
After a brief appearance, they were sent back to the city of Saint Laurent to continue enjoying their permanent residency.
Three under five divided by two.
It only took two months for Vega to completely stabilize the entire Holy Dragon Province and put it back on track.
