Chapter 720: To the Empire

"I grant your army's request. ”

Vega's hand and the messenger clasped together.

Faced with Coverdale's request, he really didn't have any reason to refuse.

The first is because he wants to contain the empire, so that the empire that already knows that he does not exist as a god mage cannot take action against the developing Jialan Empire and the Jialan branch led by Shangqi Lisi.

The second reason is that the empire is his enemy in the first place.

Now there are a total of three forces left in the East, the first is the Empire, the second is the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and the third is the Jialan Empire.

If you really want to talk about comprehensive strength, there is no doubt that the empire is still ranked first, so the empire is a threshold that Vega can't get around in any case to unify the East.

The more chaotic the empire is, the better it will be for him.

So whether there is a written contract or not, the rebel forces must be his allies.

Now that this ally invited him to fight against the Empire, they not only didn't want Vega to send people but also didn't want him to pay, just let him be present and command, how could he not agree to such a good thing.

If you win.

The Jialan Empire will have more time to prepare, and the empire's will inevitably be broken by this.

Even if you lose, it doesn't hurt.

Anyway, he didn't feel sorry for the soldiers and resources of others who used them, and when the whole army was wiped out. Moreover, he is a star-rank shadow mage and is not worried about being left on the battlefield, so there is no reason to refuse Coverdale's request for help.

In addition to these two reasons, there is a third reason.

This reason is laughable to say, but it is an indisputable fact -

Vega is so boring.

Politics, Economy, Construction...... He can't talk about these fields, and there is no war to fight in the Jialan Empire, and he can improve morale by watching military exercises a few times a few times, and if he sees too much, it is estimated that the soldiers are impatient, and in addition, the bandits can't ask him to drive the expedition in person, right?

If there is no war for a long time.

Both the sense of war and the talent for war will be degraded.

Therefore, Vega did not hesitate to agree to Coverdale's request, hoping to maintain his state through the next war, and at the same time improve his magic and mental power, even if he could not keep the rebels, he would use this opportunity to severely damage the Imperial Army.

"When are we leaving?"

Vega seemed to be a little impatient to return to the battlefield and took the initiative to ask the emissary this question.

"Anytime, anytime. ”

The messenger's expression was a little excited.

He never thought that he would not only invite Vega, but also be able to take Vega back to the city at any time. In fact, before coming here for the second time, he had already decided that he would return in vain, after all, Vega was the king, how could the king leave the capital?

It seems to have seen through the heart of the messenger.

Vega continued: "However, I am absolutely not allowed to let a second person know about my visit to your army, except for your leader Verdale and you, otherwise I have the right to suspend my assistance to you at any time. ”

"Xia Guan understands. ”

The diplomat immediately replied in the affirmative, and he immediately understood that once Vega left Saint Laurent and was discovered, then I am afraid that the entire Jialan Empire would be in turmoil, and this matter must be hidden from others.

So on the next day.

Vega followed the messenger to the rebel headquarters in the City of War.

Vega was accompanied by a Praetorian Guard and former Imperial commander Haussmann Christian, as well as Major General Skoro Darnay, the commander of the defenders of the city of Zelantu, who voluntarily surrendered to Vega.

The group added up to less than fifteen people.

As for why Haussmann and his former subordinate Skoro Darnay were brought with them, it was, of course, because Vega was not worried about keeping them in the country. After all, the 450,000 imperial troops are still in the country, although these two people were relieved of 4/5 of the command by Vega, as long as they raise their arms, presumably the 450,000 imperial troops will inevitably be re-put under their command.

When the time comes, Xiya alone may not be able to suppress it.

So the safest way is to take these two people with you, and let Thea sit in the country as a queen, with her status as the queen of the Holy Dynasty, and with the assistance of Iroh and Mennono, no one dares to do anything wrong in the court.

After everything is taken care of.

Vega is really starting this journey of the Imperial Rebels.

Da Da Da –

The sound of horses' hooves lapping against the bluestone pavement echoed through the crisp sound, which meant that Vega and his party had finally stepped on the territory of the rebel headquarters in War City a few days later.

A pitch-black cloak.

Underneath the cloak is a black mask.

It was already difficult to discern Vega's true identity from the outside, and from a distance it looked like a short gnome, and with his strange dress, it should have attracted the attention of passers-by.

But surprisingly.

Vega didn't attract anyone's attention, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.

It wasn't until Vega arrived at the gate of the rebel junta that he found that civilians had gathered here.

They raised banners and begged the rebel regime to surrender to the Empire, only to see that the faces of this group of people were full of anger, if it were not for the desperate resistance of the army at the door, I am afraid that they would have been forced to break through.

But it can be seen.

The faces of the soldiers who blocked were also full of humiliation and no fighting spirit, and at this time, as long as one soldier took the lead in laying down his arms, I am afraid that this guard would immediately disperse and no longer make any resistance.

"How critical is the situation?"

Vega said to himself with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder Foster has endured it and has not launched an attack until now, it turned out that he was ready to see the rebels defeat themselves, and he accepted the surrender of the rebels without a single soldier." ”

Vega pointed to the group and asked the messenger, "This group of civilians has come to the doorstep, why can your leader not directly use violent means to clean it up?"

"The subordinate officer did not know, the chief just said that the soldiers were not allowed to use force against civilians. ”

The emissary had anger on his face, and if it weren't for Coverdale's order, he wouldn't have been able to resist it by now.

"Coverdale still has a bit of a brain. ”

Vega nodded secretly, and felt more and more identified with Coverdale in his heart, what he was most afraid of in the battle was not the enemy, but having a pig teammate, and now it seemed that Coverdale didn't look like a fool.

If he uses violent means to suppress it, Vega will inevitably turn around and leave.

Because the lesson of the empire standing on the opposite side of the common people is still vivid, not to mention that the rebel army has relied on the civilian population to get to this day, and if it stands on the opposite side of the civilian population, it is tantamount to self-destruction.

Though......

Judging from the current situation, the rebels seem to have stood on the opposite side of the civilian population, and even the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and one by one they want to surrender to the Imperial Army, and the hearts of the people seem to have been captured by the Empire.

But!

Vega doesn't think it's a big deal.

Civilians exist like this......

It has always been the easiest existence to fool.

As long as the City of War remained under the control of the rebels, Vega thought there was a way to turn these civilians to the Empire and worship the rebels as saviors.
