City of Kareni.

This is Vega's first city in another world.

If it weren't for being excluded by Foster because of his high merit. Maybe after graduating from the Central Military Academy, he is now a high-ranking member of the Kareni military, and at the same time, because of his great prestige in Kareni City, he can probably live the life of a Turkish emperor.

But there are no ifs.

Fortunately, after nine deaths, he finally had to return to the beginning.

Now Kareni City has become his next target.

It's not that you have to occupy Kareni City, after all, Kareni is the most important thing as the front tooth of the northern part of the empire, and the empire can't easily give it up, and there is still a fairly large garrison within the empire.

At a time when the Freedom Alliance is not taking action, the Principality of Baya is not unified and vassalized with the 18 countries, and the kingdom is still taking care of itself, if Vega attacks Kareni City now, the garrison within the empire is not something that Vega alone can eat.

Nothing else, those aviation units alone were enough to make Vega's scalp tingle.

And the northern part of the empire fell once.

It is also based on the fact that the last time the United Kingdom took the city of Kareni, which caused a heavy blow to the north of the empire, and now the empire has placed a considerable number of defenders in the north, and the garrison of the city of Kareni is no longer what it used to be.

According to Vega's understanding.

In the past, the Third Army in Kareni City was only equipped with the Army Aviation Department, and there were only 100 war airships before and after, but now there are two standard aviation regiments stationed in Kareni City.

Therefore, Vega even if he wants to take the city of Calle.

Nor can it be done in just a few months.

Even whether or not he could take Kareni City in half a year was an extremely optimistic thing, and Vega was not carried away by the big victory of the 'Novice Village'.

So why target Kareni?

This was of course used against the Empire's trade wars.

Vega was just a history major in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about economic matters, after all, he was not a genius who was proficient in all kinds of martial arts, he was just an ordinary person.

You can't expect a history graduate to dominate Wall Street.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

Vega believes that with his own ability, fighting a trade war with the empire's think tank on an unfamiliar financial battlefield is completely an act of hitting a stone with an egg, and even if the finance minister who drags the dynasty into the dynasty is estimated to be difficult to turn defeat into victory.

If the dynasty's finance minister really had such a high level, as a trading power, the dynasty would not be so miserable, and the empire would be gently clamped down, and the whole society would be on the verge of collapse.

Attack the strengths of others with their own shortcomings.

It's the stupidest thing to do.

Although Vega thinks that he is an ordinary person, ordinary people are not fools, so he still has the thinking of promoting his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.

What are his strengths?

War!

And in any world, violence is a very useful tool.

It is important to know that even the so-called law is based on violence.

With this rule-making weapon in your hands, why bother to play some mindless trade war with the Empire?

Playing to the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses is what a true wise man should do.

Doesn't your empire like to restrict imports and exports?

Then I will crush Kareni with a large army and force you to lift all restrictions.

Your empire still likes to raise tariffs?

Then I will attack the city of Carlene and force you to give the dynasty tax exemption for five years...... Ten years!

Don't say yes?

It just so happens that the Imperial City of Elkia and the remaining 100 war airships have not yet been given, so use this excuse to start a war directly.

When the battle front of the Kingdom Dragon City is in full swing, whether to compromise or choose to fight with him is a question that does not need to be considered at all, if the opening of restrictions and tax exemption for 10 years can be exchanged for precious time, I believe that the Empire's think tank will choose to speak for itself.

So after seven days.

Vega advanced his army to the vicinity of the city of Kareni and sent a letter to the Empire demanding that the Empire remove restrictions on the import and export of all industries, and exempt the dynasty from taxes on 137 industries for 10 years.

Of course.

Vega didn't waste any time waiting for the Empire to reply, and he began to check the harvest of the battle.

A full 700,000 lives, even if he escaped most of the magicians and professionals, it would be enough for him to jump several levels, right?

————

Meanwhile.

The commander-in-chief of the reorganized 17 Army, Klimence Oliver, stationed in the city of Kareni, received a letter from Vega.

Clementos Oliver is the former Chief of Staff of the Third Group, and since Foster led the Third Army's expedition to the Dragon City, he has been promoted to command the garrison throughout the northern part of the Empire.

The 17th Army has an army of 250,000 troops.

It includes an army aviation unit and two aviation regiments, as well as an elite brigade of senior mages, and the garrison is unprecedentedly strong, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is at least twice as strong as Vega.

Except for the former General Staff of the Third Army, Kremance Oliver.

Foster Nolan left behind the Third Army in Kareni City, including Raglan, Alcott Owen, Lucas...... Wait for the entire former command of the Third Army to assist Chrisman in the garrison of the entire north.

After all, these people have been in the north all their lives.

Most of them had experienced the fall of Kareni and already had considerable vigilance and experience in defensive counter-attacks.

It is no exaggeration to say.

If it is the Kingdom Army that comes to Kareni City instead of Vega, and they will not even wait for the Kingdom Army to attack the city, they will directly organize their troops out of the city to fight the Kingdom Army to the death, so that the Kingdom will know what the real army is invincible.

But when Vega's letter was made public at the meeting, everyone was silent.

They are not silent.

After all, Vega was an officer who walked out from Kareni, and what he had done over the years was naturally followed by them.

Of course, these are only secondary reasons.

After all, as Vega's former superiors, they instinctively concede their own command skills, even if they admit that one person is not as good as Vega, but there are so many generals here, plus several times stronger troops than the original Third Army, how can a Vega be arbitrarily here.

So the main reason that really silences them is -

The news of the annihilation of the 700,000-strong army of the 18-nation coalition.

The annihilation of 700,000 coalition troops with almost zero losses is suspiciously called a miracle in the first place...... No, it should be said that it is an epic, or even a legendary battle.

Secondly, what really scares them is -

Vega gave the order not to accept prisoners of war and to completely annihilate the enemy army.

They can disagree with Vega's level of command, or they can deny Vega's record from the past to the present.

But they didn't dare to deny the 700,000 dead soldiers, because they didn't know what Vega had gone through, and they were able to kill 700,000 people with all their hearts.

If this war goes to be lost.

So will Vega leave their lives alive in the face of the past?

You need to know that no one has ever said a good word for Vega in front of Foster in the first place, so everyone already has the answer to this question in their hearts.

And everything is as Vega said.

In this world of the jungle, you may be recognized and respected by others for your countless achievements, but in the end, you can only ...... Violence and blood alone can be terrifying.
