Mage Veigar

Chapter 339 Another trouble occurs
The night is almost over.

After resting for most of the day, Vega took Xia and Carol towards the direction of Saint Laurent City.

According to Vega's overnight route plan.

He will try his best to avoid cities along the way, not take national roads, and specifically move along sparsely populated routes. Although this method will take a few days longer to reach Saint Laurent City, it can ensure that no trouble will occur.

Once trouble arises, the delay will not just be a day or two.

"Your Highness, the journey ahead will be difficult. Please be patient."

After Vega told the two the route, he showed special concern to Xia. After all, she was the canary of the dynasty, so Vega decided to let her prepare herself mentally because the path she was going to take was a difficult one.

"With the general here, Xia has nothing to fear."

Princess Xia smiled brightly, without any worries about the future. Seeing this smile, Carol couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Since he forcibly took the princess out, he had never seen such a bright smile.

But Carol had seen this smile before.

When they were in the palace, Shia often showed him such an innocent smile, but this smile that represented unreserved trust no longer belonged to him. It was replaced by Vega.

Even though there is no evidence to prove it.

Not even Shia herself knew.

But from all the signs, it can be seen that in Sia Saint Laurent's heart, Vega has risen from the second sequence to the first sequence.

So the journey was safe and sound over the next few days.

The mountain path was indeed rugged and difficult to walk on. Even Vega, a professional magician, felt a little annoyed when walking on it. Of course, he was even more unfriendly to Canary, an ordinary person like Xia, who was even worse than an ordinary civilian. However, Xia endured it all the way.

Vega thought that the spoiled Xia would not cause any trouble, and this peaceful situation would continue until Saint Laurent.

After all, Xia is a princess.

As long as Xia doesn't say anything, Carol, the loyal guardian knight, will dare to disobey the princess's orders.

However, conflicts arose when they stopped in a small town for a rest.

The cause of the incident came from a folk rumor.

The rumor said that the Kelison troops heading south defeated the Kingdom Army's 10 pursuing troops, killing more than of the Kingdom Army in total, and the Kingdom Army retreated to the port city for defense.

Now Kerison's troops are facing the enemy and the port city from a distance.

Now we are only one step away. As long as we can capture this port city, we can return to the west coast safely.

The civilians have already started talking about it, and they naturally believe that if Kerison can defeat the Kingdom Army's pursuit troops, they can capture the port city and return to the West Coast to contribute to the West Coast's counterattack force.

Vega himself was dismissive of the news and discussions.

A group of civilians who had never led a soldier and did not even have any detailed intelligence were trying to dictate the war situation. Even he himself did not dare to make such a bold guess without any intelligence and could only make a rough deduction at best.

So how to deduce?

If the rumor that Kelison defeated the Kingdom Army is correct.

According to the intelligence, it can be concluded that Callison must have found a dangerous place where the air force could not be deployed, and severely tricked the Kingdom Army. However, it was only tricked once, and the news only said that the Kingdom Army suffered 10,000 casualties, but did not mention the air force at all.

This is not the point.

More importantly, Kerison failed to stop the Kingdom Army's pursuit troops, but instead let them enter the port city to be attacked first. Then everything would be over.

The layman watched the excitement.

In Vega's opinion, Kailisen did not force the Kingdom Army to retreat into the port city, but failed to prevent the Kingdom Army from entering the city.

A few words can lead to a huge mistake. But not everyone is as expert as Vega. Xia did not cause any trouble to Vega along the way. Instead, it was Carol who brought about this contradiction.

Carol completely believed the rumors and gossip among the people.

Obviously, he disagreed with the pessimistic view of Vega, a professional. In his eyes, Kerison had defeated the Kingdom Army, forced the Kingdom Army into the port city, and Kerison was number one in the world...

Callison is the savior of the dynasty's future.

So after Carol struggled for a whole night, she confronted Vega while cooking by the river the next evening.

He was going to take the princess south to find Callison.

Carol's idea is very simple. Princess Sia is the orthodox one. If Theon dared to take action against Sia this time, he must have done it secretly without telling anyone. If he took the princess and General Callison back to the west coast.

So do the people on the West Coast still dare to attack the princess?

They certainly wouldn't dare to attack head-on, but if they act secretly, Admiral Callison's troops will be no pushovers. By the time the princess is crowned and the dust settles, the situation on the west coast will naturally stabilize.

Carol's abacus was jingling.

It seemed as if Kerison could definitely take the city and return to the West Coast. He was even considering that if he went too late, he might miss the last train. As for Vega... that was a last resort when there was no other way out.

With new options available, who would still rely on an imperial general?

Vega was amused by Carol's optimism and his indifference to the current situation. He felt that his point of view was no longer enough to wake up Carol, who was pretending to be asleep. He really couldn't win an argument with an unreasonable person.

So he turned around and said to Xia, "Your Highness, I am not making a blind analysis, but making a rational deduction based on the current war. I do not mean to underestimate your army. Your Highness, it is the right choice for you to follow me back to Saint Laurent."

"General Vega, I believe in you."

Xia is like a fangirl. She chooses to believe whatever Vega says: "Carol, I will not go south with you to join General Callison. If you want to go, go by yourself."

Seeing this, Vega breathed a sigh of relief.

The master has agreed, so what can a subordinate do even if he wants to object?

But Carol's next action broke Vega's cognition. He said forcefully: "Your Highness, for the rise of the dynasty, please listen to my advice. If you insist on not doing it, for the sake of your majesty and the future of the dynasty, I will have to kill you first and report later. I will never let you be deceived by the people of the empire."

"Carol, you!"

Xia was furious, her face flushed as she asked, "Who are you loyal to, the dynasty or me, Xia Saint Laurent?"

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is there any difference between the two?"

Carol said unreasonably: "In my opinion, Your Highness is the Princess of the Dynasty. My loyalty to the Dynasty and Your Highness do not conflict. So for the future of the Dynasty, Your Highness, please listen to me."

"Carol..."

Princess Xia slowly closed her eyes and let two crystal tears fall: "From today on, you are no longer my guardian knight. I no longer need you!"

Scenes from my childhood to adulthood with Carol flashed by like slides.

Xia's last sentence was almost hysterical. After that, she turned her gaze to Vega: "General Vega, Xia begs you to stay by your side. Don't let Carol take me away again."

There was a flash of blood, and a long sword appeared in hand.

Veigar held the Doran's Blade in his hand and stepped forward to block Xia. "As a subject, you dare to offend the dignity of your master. Sir Carol, you have lost your qualifications to be a subject."

"Huh, do you think you can beat me?"

Carol sneered and did not take Vega seriously.
