Mage Veigar

Chapter 349 Strategic Outline
Yes, it’s the West Coast!
Vega aimed his sights at the west bank, a cunning look in his eyes.

He walked around the map.

Then he drew a circle around a major city that was relatively close to the empire.

City of black gold.

This is the most important city in the west of the Holy Dynasty. Like Erkia in the Empire, the City of Black Gold exists alone as a gateway to the west. If the Empire wants to invade the Dynasty one day, this city will be the only way to get around it.

Is it really okay to give up such an important city?
You have to know that if the city is not ceded, the Empire will never be tempted. As long as the city is used as a bargaining chip, the Empire will never reject this proposal.

And the Empire hates the Kingdom just as much.

They also didn't want to see the Kingdom annex the Holy Dynasty and continue to expand, so when Veigar offered this bargaining chip, the Empire's upper echelons would definitely send troops to the Kingdom without hesitation. Only a fool would refuse a good thing that could earn money and strike at the enemy.

This is just the first step in the plan.

If this plan proceeds to the second stage, then when the Empire attacks the United Kingdom's Gathili City from the north, the whole kingdom will inevitably fall into panic.

If the city of Gasili was captured by the Empire, the Kingdom would not only be unable to send reinforcements to the Holy Dynasty, but would also have to withdraw its troops to defend its own country. This way, the siege of Saint Laurent could be lifted, the trouble in the east could be solved, and Vega would have a chance to catch his breath.

When the second phase of this plan is completed.

Then the third link is the war on the West Coast.

How is the war on the West Bank fought?

This is the insidiousness of Veigar.

When the Empire turned around and prepared to take away the bargaining chips, it was helpless to find that the army of the Grand Prince on the West Coast would not give them. What should it do?
War will be the only way to solve the problem.

Vega could now fully imagine the tragic scene of a fight between the angry imperial army and the dynasty army on the west coast. He could also weaken the army of the west coast and the army of the empire without spending a single soldier.

Yes, this is a three-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

If the entire plan is implemented perfectly, he will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary.

He took advantage of the kingdom's withdrawal and the conflict between the empire and the west coast.

Vega laughed loudly twice, and thought of "besieging Wei to save Zhao" from "crowned as emperor", and then thought of the strategy of "borrowing land to offer to Buddha" and "profiting as a fisherman" to kill three birds with one stone. This whole set of serial strategies has unveiled its hidden veil and is clearly exposed in front of Vega's eyes.

"If this plan succeeds, I will be the founder of a dynasty that will last forever!"

Veigar sat back at his desk and wrote down the sequence of the entire plan:

First, he was crowned emperor and sent envoys to the empire;

Second, besiege Wei to save Zhao and regain control of the eastern part;

Third, the snipe and the clam quarreled, and the troops were sent to the west coast;

Fourth: The fisherman gains the advantage and becomes the uncrowned king.

The first one is the premise of the plan, and the second, third and fourth ones correspond to the three links respectively.

Vega thus formulated a strategic outline to take down the Holy Dynasty, and he began to take formal action according to this outline. This was also the first time that Vega formulated a plan with a clear outcome.

The plan even encompasses the entire world.

Vega calculated the kingdom, the empire, and the west coast. He took into account all the forces that could be calculated, one by one, without leaving any one out, and made all of them revolve around him.

Vega engraved the four guidelines into his brain and burned one of them with fire.

He opened the door of his office and walked straight towards the palace.

"It's time to start making friends far away and attacking those nearby."

----

Saint Laurent City, the Royal Palace.

Standing in the center of Saint Laurent, a magnificent palace rises from the ground. This is the city within the city in the center of Saint Laurent - the Royal Palace.

A moat, four city gates, and a city wall more than ten meters high.

The defense force of the Royal Palace is the best in Saint Laurent City, and Vega's City Lord's Mansion is less than one percent of it.

Walk straight into the door.

Vega came to the princess's bedroom, the West Palace. According to the rules, the princess had not yet been crowned as the emperor, so she could not live in the Central Palace. At present, Xia was only a princess, and she had to be crowned before she could truly exercise the power of the emperor.

knock knock --

The maid knocked on the bedroom door, and Xia immediately stopped her needlework.

She asked the maid nervously, "Alyssa, is General Vega here?"

“Your Highness, it is indeed General Vega who has arrived.”

Alyssa did not dare to neglect it. Her Royal Highness the Princess had once told her that if General Vega came, she should put down her work and report to him immediately no matter what she was doing.

Because of this, every time she came to the princess's bedroom, the princess would excitedly ask, "Is General Vega here?" However, every time the princess was excited, she would be deeply disappointed.

In view of this.

Alyssa even reduced the number of times she came to the princess's bedroom because she didn't want to see the princess's heartbreaking expression of disappointment, which also made her have no good impression of Vega.

It's okay to not like it.

She wouldn't do anything that would interfere with other people's business.

So with the princess's permission, she led Vega to the guest room.

"I have met Her Highness the Princess."

Vega bowed to the princess, who quickly stepped forward and said, “General, there’s no need to be so polite. Alyssa, go get my coffee and serve it to General Vega. Remember not to add sugar. The general likes black coffee.”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Alyssa was about to leave when Vega stopped her and said, "Your Highness, please don't bother me. I came here just to tell you that in seven days, I want you to be officially crowned as the emperor and become the legitimate king of the Holy Dynasty."

"Thank you, thank you, General."

Xia said happily: "Being able to be crowned as the emperor in Saint Laurent, even if this war ends in failure, I can still face my deceased grandfather with a smile."

"Your Highness, this war will never be lost."

Vega looked directly at Shia and said with great confidence, “This is the only thing I can guarantee you.”

"I believe you."

Xia smiled and said to the maid: "Alyssa, go and prepare dinner. It's getting dark soon. General, you should stay here for dinner today."

"No need."

Vega refused again: "The coronation ceremony will be held in 7 days. The security and ceremony procedures need to be arranged in advance. I will not stay for dinner. I will go back to do the preliminary work. I will take my leave."

After saying this, Vega left the palace without waiting for Shia to reply.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Seeing the princess' depressed expression, Alyssa felt a little bit sorry.

Xia Ya smiled and shook her head and said, “Alyssa, thank you for your concern, I’m fine now.”

I rubbed my sore eyes.

Xia looked at the setting sun outside the window. "This is where I grew up, why has it become so cold and hopeless now? General, seven days, we can meet again in seven days. Xia will try her best to endure it."

So on the second day.

The news that Princess Shia Saint Laurent would be crowned Queen in six days was officially announced to the whole city in the form of an announcement.

Vega wants to take this opportunity to gather the morale to the highest level.

At the same time, this grand event attracted high-level military forces and deserters from the surrounding areas and within the city to come and surrender.

But everything has pros and cons.

This kind of high-profile behavior has attracted the attention of two forces.

The Kingdom Army and the underground organization deployed in Saint Laurent City on the west coast of the dynasty launched actions at the same time. Both forces understood one thing, that is, the current Holy Dynasty must not have a new king.
