Mage Veigar

Chapter 362: Sending Envoys to the Empire
I fulfilled Xia's promise perfunctorily.

He also successfully used Xia's order to make Carol die.

Vega completely lost his sleepiness and began to plan how to send the Empire's troops to attack the Kingdom.

Firstly, the Empire and the Kingdom are incompatible. The Kingdom even attacked the north of the Empire and carried out inhumane plundering on the Empire, so that the north of the Empire has not yet recovered. This is also the reason why the Empire does not want to attack the Kingdom for the time being.

After all, war requires economic support.

If Vega guessed correctly.

The Empire must want to wait until the economy in the North recovers a little before launching a war of revenge against the Kingdom.

But not wanting to do it does not mean that he cannot do it. As long as he can pay a sufficient price, given the empire's ambitions and hatred towards the kingdom, he will definitely launch a war of revenge in advance.

Second.

The Kingdom is now focusing on attacking the Holy Dynasty, so the country must be empty. If the Empire attacks the Kingdom at this time, the risk will be much smaller and the chance of victory will be greater.

Third, the lips and teeth are interdependent. How can the empire just sit and watch the kingdom grow bigger?

Based on these three points, Vega believed that as long as he sent envoys and offered sufficient benefits to the head of state, there would be at least an 80% chance that the Empire would send troops to the United Kingdom.

So who should be chosen as this messenger?

Vega summoned his adjutant Iroh the next day.

He sat in the main seat and stared at Yi Luo, making him nervous: "Lieutenant, you have been with me for almost a year. Now I want to ask you a question. Please answer it seriously."

"Yes, General."

Yiluo straightened his back and did not dare to be negligent at all.

Vega was silent for a while, then he said, "Lieutenant, can I trust your loyalty?"

There was a thud.

Yiluo felt a chill in his heart. What did this question mean?
Can I trust your loyalty?

If understood literally, it means asking him whether he has done anything to betray the empire or the army.

Why did the general ask this question?
At this moment, Ilo thought a lot. He even thought that someone was slandering him in front of Vega, accusing him of betraying the empire and the army, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed something was wrong.

"Can I trust your loyalty?"

Yiluo repeated it secretly in his mind, and finally discovered the deeper meaning of it.

Loyalty? Loyalty to whom?
Obviously, this sentence can be understood as loyalty to the Empire and loyalty to Vega himself. This is an indirect way for him to express whether he is loyal to the Empire or Vega himself.

So Ilo did not hesitate.

He saluted Vega and said, "General, I swore allegiance to you, not the Empire. Please do not question my loyalty. I will never forget your kindness to me."

That's right, everything he has was given by Vega.

Therefore, the person he was swearing allegiance to was definitely not the empire that wanted to exile him to the frontier, but Vega, the general who was willing to take him in when he had nowhere else to go. It was impossible for him not to know who he was supposed to be loyal to.

"You are committing treason."

Vega's face was a little serious: "Don't talk about this kind of thing in front of outsiders. You are loyal to the Empire, not me, Vega Kareni. But I can promise you that as long as you are willing to remain loyal, I will grant you glory."

"I am willing to die for the general." Yiluo was very excited. He became a soldier for glory.

Now, because of Vega, he has gained the honor of conquering Saint Laurent City. If he were to fight for this honor on his own, it would probably take several generations of effort to achieve it, but since he followed Vega, he got it easily.

Therefore, Ilo firmly believed.

Following Vega, he has meat to eat, but without Vega, he is nothing.

Even the honor of successfully commanding the Battle of Saint Laurent was enough for him to give everything for it.

Vega was also very satisfied with Iroh's loyalty, so he took out a secret letter and said, "I have a mission for you. You will lead a team of mages and make sure the secret letter is delivered to the hands of the head of state. After arriving in the imperial capital, you can contact the Rodney Chamber of Commerce and tell President Qi Lisi to mobilize all the forces of the organization and make sure that the empire will send troops to attack the kingdom at the meeting."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Iroh solemnly took the letter from Vega.

Even without opening the letter, through Vega's words, he could probably guess that this letter might be the key to relieving the siege of Saint Laurent, and he vaguely felt that Vega's plan seemed to be more than just returning to the empire.

If I'm not mistaken...

Yiluo was shocked by his own guess, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to guess further.

Because if all the speculations are true, then the general will probably no longer be a small brigadier general, his stage will no longer be the empire, but the vast Jialan Continent, and the object of his game and gambling will also become the leader of all countries...

"I am resigning."

With a feeling of great trepidation, Ilo gathered a team of mages, disguised themselves, and headed north towards the empire.

He vowed to deliver the letter.

Because Veigar had promised him that he would grant him glory. If Veigar was really as he guessed, then as Veigar's chief lieutenant, his future would surely surpass the glory of his ancestors and create an immortal legend.

Just thinking about this future is exciting enough.

What are the officers of his generation doing now?
Are you parading around in the uniform of a middle-level officer? Are you so excited about your upcoming promotion to deputy brigadier general that you can't sleep? Or are you relying on the influence of your father to rise quickly to the top, with the possibility of becoming a colonel or even a brigadier general?
"A life of extreme comfort?"

"No, it's a boring life."

Having seen the world before, he has commanded the Battle of Saint Laurent, followed Vega in daily fights with the Kingdom Army, and walked on the brink of life and death. He has long known what real war is.

Iroh has seen clearly what is in his heart.

He wanted glory, and the best way to achieve it was through war.

A war of blood and fire can create heroes and achieve glory. War can give him everything he needs. He does not need those military ranks to prove himself. The only way for a soldier to prove himself is to win.

And Vega can lead him to victory.

Therefore, you must swear allegiance to Vega and complete Vega's mission.

Then, he returned to Vega as soon as possible with the good news that the mission was completed.

With this firm belief, Iroh embarked on the journey back to the empire. He couldn't wait to see Vega achieve his hegemony.

And where is Vega at this time?
He was obviously not the kind of person who would wait foolishly for news, because he had discovered that the supplies in the city were being consumed faster than he had imagined. He had to find a way to increase the supply of the army, otherwise, before the empire sent troops, he would probably lose the city and his people.

So how to replenish logistical supplies?
Vega licked his scarlet lips and turned his gaze back to the Kingdom Army.
