Chapter 176 The End
slam-la-

The empire's red eagle flag fluttered in the wind.

This unforgettable scene came into Raglan's eyes.

At a glance, there were nothing but people. The crowd was rushing towards him like a raging wave. Although he knew that these millions of people did not seem to be coming for him, the terrifying momentum made him feel deeply powerless.

What can we use to resist?

Even if you are determined to die, you will tremble in fear in such a crowd.

Even if there are millions of people, I will still go.
Raglan finally realized that the person who said this must have never really faced... hell.

Fortunately, these one million people were not the enemy. The familiar red eagle flag clearly told him that this army, which was so terrifying that it made people not want to muster the slightest desire to resist, was indeed his reinforcement.

At this moment, Raglan smiled.

The silly smile of surviving a disaster, the smile of relief, the wild laugh of revenge... countless complex smiles appeared on Raglan's face. Now he really wanted to know which guy could actually gather a million troops in the city to fight against the kingdom's army.

A million people, not just one or two hundred.

As a general, Raglan understood that humans were complex creatures. It was difficult to influence the thoughts of just one person. Even Foster didn't have the ability to get millions of people to act together, right?

Nearly.

Millions of troops finally joined the battlefield.

The stalemate war was declared over in less than 5 minutes. The million-strong army was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Wherever the kingdom's army went, they were killed without even a chance to fight back.

Raglan did not move.

Almost exhausted, he half-knelt on the ground, supporting his body with his sword, and witnessed this crushing situation.

"Victory?"

He muttered to himself. The scene in front of him made him feel as if he was in a dream. Ten minutes ago, he was still fighting with the determination to die, and was even very desperate at one point.

But ten minutes later, a miracle happened.

This war can only be described as a miracle. The officer commanding this troop must be synonymous with miracle. So who is the commander who created the miracle, was it Foster or someone else?

A tender hand reached out.

Raglan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, but could only see a small black shadow in the glaring sunlight.

There was a thump in my heart.

Raglan already had a rough answer. He grabbed his tender right hand and tried to stand up. Everything was just as he imagined. The guy commanding this army was indeed Vega.

Yes.

Who else could have done this except that little brat Vega?

Raglan couldn't help but think of the brat who was able to turn the peaceful and tranquil Kareni into a bloody storm during the armistice. He even hated this kind of war machine born for war, because in peacetime, such a guy would only destroy the harmony of Kareni and even bring disaster to the empire. He once wanted to expel Vega from the army.

Unfortunately, several subsequent plans failed.

But now, Raglan suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Vega was not expelled from the army.

Only a trouble maker like this could drive the kingdom's invading forces, who had the upper hand, out of Kareni alive. Even he himself was saved by this little brat.

"It's great that this kid is still in the Third Army..."

As this thought came to his mind, Raglan, who had been running around for days, finally couldn't support his body and fell to the ground, unconscious.

----

Vega's hand, which was stretched in the air, froze.

He originally wanted to pull up Raglan and show the grace of an officer, but Raglan's sudden unconsciousness made it difficult for him to put his hand away, nor was it possible to keep it frozen in mid-air. The scene was very awkward for a while.

“Ahem…” After coughing twice, Vega shouted calmly, “Adjutant? Adjutant!”

"Yes, I'm here." A soldier stepped forward immediately.

Vega looked around and said, "Report the current situation."

"Yes, sir."

The adjutant quickly organized his words and said, "In the last battle, the Kingdom's army lost 1.1 men and captured 4 men. The rest of the troops have left the battlefield and cannot be caught up for the time being. The enemy's senior officers also retreated safely under the cover of the magician troops. We cannot keep them with our forces."

After listening to the report, Vega did not respond.

He climbed onto the city wall and raised a long cross sword to symbolize victory: "All troops, stand at attention!"

slam-la-

When Vega's unique childish voice echoed, the noisy battlefield suddenly became quiet. More than a million pairs of eyes looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw that it was Vega, everyone's eyes emitted a fiery gaze.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Vega moved.

He took the long cross sword and swung it fiercely at the golden lion flag of the kingdom on the city wall.

click-

The crisp sound of the flagpole breaking echoed, and the Kingdom's Golden Lion Flag, which had dominated the city of Kareni for nearly 20 days, finally fell slowly from the sky at this moment and finally fell to the ground.

slam-la-

As the Golden Lion Flag fell, Vega threw away the cross sword in his hand, and then raised his right hand. The Empire's Red Eagle Flag rose from the ground and replaced the Golden Lion Flag to float over Kareni: "Soldiers of the Empire, warriors of the guerrilla army, now I, as the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla army, Vega Kareni, announce to you-"

"empire!"

"Victory!"

A tender child's voice cut through the sky: "Today, the glory is shared. Long live the empire!"

Silence, deathly silence.

And after the silence, there was a roar of carnival.

"Glory is shared, long live the empire!"

"Long live the Empire, long live the Commander!"

"..."

Civilians, holding sticks, hoes, kitchen knives, etc. in their hands, cried and shouted frantically. Even though their voices were hoarse and their tears were about to run out, it did not stop them from venting the depressed emotions that had been accumulated for nearly a month.

They have waited too long for this victory.

In desperation, they used their own strength to drive the kingdom's invaders out of the empire's territory. This supreme joy could not be expressed in words.

After venting their anger, they looked up at the red eagle flag of the empire.

At this moment, Vega's image standing on the city wall holding the Empire's black flag with a red eagle became as tall as a god.

wow-

At the same time, the entire army fell silent and they spontaneously saluted Vega.

The scene of Vega standing on the city wall holding the red eagle flag and gazing into the distance has been engraved in the eyes of all the civilians present. In their eyes, Vega is the hero who saved Kareni and their eternal and only guerrilla army commander-in-chief.

So a few days later, the center of the North Tower.

A bronze statue of a young child in military uniform holding the Empire's black flag with a red eagle and looking out over the Kingdom of Gasili was erected.
