Mage Veigar

Chapter 186 Reaching Consensus
"Wolf" has feelings, and "coyote" has intentions.

There was no need for any extra explanation. Vega and Ingril came to a consensus...

At this moment, England's face was flushed with excitement.

If this news were reported to the military, there would be no doubt that he would go from being a defeated general to the greatest contributor to the kingdom.

Is Veigar really that valuable?

For the United Kingdom, the biggest headache right now is the city of Kareni.

Even though the Kingdom Army has been making a lot of trouble in the north recently, as long as they don't have Kareni in their hands, they will be like rootless duckweed and will be driven out of the northern territory of the empire one day. What makes them most uncomfortable is that Kareni cannot be occupied by brute force.

If you want to occupy the city of Kareni, you will have to face the situation of everyone being a soldier.

Unless all civilians are slaughtered, it will be difficult to truly occupy Kareni. With England's previous experience still before them, the Kingdom Army now has no idea about the city of Kareni.

In this regard, the Kingdom Army particularly hated Vega, who had united the city of Kalini.

But precisely because of this, Vega's value is self-evident. This is not only reflected in Vega's command ability, but also in Vega's influence on Kareni. As long as Vega can join the kingdom's formation, then occupying Kareni becomes possible.

That's right.

They just need an officer like Vega who is extremely influential in the city of Kareni, who can stand up and take charge of the overall situation on behalf of the Kingdom Army after they successfully capture Kareni.

In short, it is to establish a puppet regime in order to achieve the political goal of appeasing the civilians.

As for Vega, he was not deceiving England.

As a time traveler, he had no sense of belonging to the empire, not to mention that he had been betrayed countless times.

He simply sacrificed his life for the empire because the empire provided him with the best platform and the easiest way to achieve a smooth life.

But now the kingdom is rising strongly.

If the Empire really declines in a year or two, Vega can take this opportunity to arrange his retreat, so it is not a wrong choice to establish a good relationship with Ingrid in advance.

What, you were mortal enemies just half a month ago?
In the adult world, only interests are eternal. As long as there is no conflict of interest, then they can naturally forget their grudges by just laughing at each other. Although this statement coming from a minor like Vega is not very convincing...

"Then I'll have to trouble you, General Ingliel."

"Hahaha, you are too polite, sir. I think we will become good friends."

After shaking hands again, Ingril said, "I will convey your sincerity to the military. I believe the kingdom will welcome talents like you."

“I hope so. I will wait for good news at the Central Military Academy.” Vega also smiled.

After hearing what Vega said, England not only did not wonder why Vega wanted to go to military school, but he suddenly realized it.

He patted Vega's shoulder sympathetically and said, "The Empire will one day regret doing such a thing to your Excellency."

After saluting Vega, Ingril ordered his troops to abandon the mission objective and withdraw the First Army. He wanted to report Vega's intention to surrender to the Kingdom as soon as possible, and after the report, the Kingdom Army would immediately send someone to contact Vega.

This time both parties expressed their intentions.

Neither Vega nor Ingril mentioned the distribution of benefits. All of this had to be left until the second formal negotiation. True surrender could not be explained in just a few words.

During the conversation, didn't Ingril doubt Vega?

Of course there is no need to doubt this kind of thing.

If Vega had not been sincere enough, how could he have spared his life twice? This alone was enough to prove that Vega was indeed determined to surrender to the Kingdom. If you put yourself in his shoes, even if he was driven out of Kareni City just after making great contributions, he would have rebelled.

The reason for surrendering is clear.

Then after reporting it, the kingdom's intelligence system will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the reasons for Vega's surrender, which is not something he needs to worry about.

All he had to do was report the situation as quickly as possible.

The airship took off again, and Ingril waved goodbye to Vega in a friendly manner.

Vega looked at his pocket watch and found that the whole process had taken exactly 15 minutes, so -

boom!
A red flare rose into the air from the forest, startling Ingril.

He quickly looked in the direction of the flare and saw the trees in the forest shaking. He could vaguely see countless black-background red eagle flags of the Empire waving. Judging from the shaking of the trees, there were probably no less than 10,000 troops hidden in the forest.

"Quick, increase the altitude, we will retreat immediately."

Ingril finally believed in Vega's sincerity. If the Imperial Army attacked them before they took off, they would probably be unable to retreat. Although Vega could no longer be seen, Ingril still bowed deeply in Vega's direction to express his sincerest gratitude.

While expressing his gratitude, Ingril was already impressed by Vega's command ability.

You know, the place where he landed today was decided at the last minute, but even so, Vega still brought 10,000 troops and accurately set up an ambush in advance. This kind of control over the battle situation can be described as predicting the future, right?

The faster it comes, the faster it goes.

Ingrid's war airship disappeared over the skyline.

When the crisis was resolved and his tense nerves relaxed, Vega's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

"It's so exciting!"

Veigar, who had always been careful about his image, couldn't help but swear. Every minute and every second of the 15 minutes made him feel like he was living a year. Now he just wanted to know whether Zhuge Liang was as miserable as he was after performing the Empty City Plan.

It turns out that it is not so easy to perform a life-threatening operation.

Compared with these 15 minutes, Vega even wanted to fight for Kareini again, but fortunately, relying on improvisation, he successfully deceived Ingliel and even left a way out for himself.

the most important is--

He survived!
As this thought came to his mind, Vega fell asleep. The mental torture was far more exhausting than the physical exhaustion or fighting a battle. The torture of being on the verge of life and death had drained all of Vega's energy.

When he woke up again, the sky was full of stars.

After waking up, I can't avoid being questioned.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Vega could only tell a simplified version of the process of defeating the enemy, and of course did not mention a word about the core conversation.

Naturally, Veigar became the hero of the entire caravan.

The feat of repelling 3000 enemies with just one person and a few words became a legend among the people, especially the sentence "You may not believe it, your army has been surrounded by me" became their daily catchphrase. The admiration in Qi Lisi's eyes was almost materialized.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is Falk Rodney.

Vega was sure that this was not an illusion.

He always felt that the old man Falk Rodney looked at him with a wary look, which made him suspect that his conversation with Ingrid had been exposed. But after probing him, Falk did not seem to know the inside story.
