Mage Veigar

Chapter 384: Kingdom in Danger
Tear up this private letter.

Vega looked at it with doubt.

First of all, the private letter begins by affirming Veigar's achievements and highly praising Veigar's cover and support missions.

Second, the head of the empire stated that the empire would always support Vega and welcome Vega home at any time.

Third, it indicated that it would send troops to the United Kingdom's Cassiles City in the near future to attract the attention of the United Kingdom.

Finally, I hope that after the United Kingdom withdraws from the war in the eastern part of the dynasty, Vega will not rush to return to the Empire, but can help the Holy Dynasty complete the next unification work. The Empire will also send troops to assist Vega.

"Hahaha."

After reading the letter, Vega almost fainted from laughing under the table.

Perhaps ordinary people think there is nothing wrong with this letter, but Vega sees the deeper meaning.

First of all, give high praise for covering the entire army's retreat and supporting the Holy Dynasty mission?
Vega had never seen anyone describe abandonment and betrayal in such a dignified way.

Second, the Empire is his eternal backing, and he is welcome to come home at any time?

This was a clear reminder for him not to forget his identity as an imperial officer.

The third one has only literal meaning, just a notification, but the last one is not so simple.

After the kingdom withdrew its troops, it hoped that Vega would continue to "help" the dynasty regain its territory, and "kindly" arranged for troops to assist him.

Obviously, asking him to "help" the dynasty was just an excuse. They just wanted to use his current influence to secretly seek benefits for the empire, such as ceding another "Black Gold City" or something like that. Here Vega saw the empire's wolfish ambitions.

As for sending troops to "assist" him with "good intentions", that is nonsense.

The empire probably sent troops here at this time not to assist him, but to monitor whether he was pretending to obey but actually disobeying, playing the role of checks and balances and surveillance.

These few points may fool loyal people, but they cannot fool Vega.

Perhaps the head of the empire never imagined that Vega was not a native of the empire, and had no sense of belonging to the empire at all. Instead, he was quite dissatisfied with the empire's repeated betrayals and abandonment.

These are the four obvious ones.

In fact, Vega saw that there was a hidden message in this letter, which was hidden in the third sentence which was only literal.

What does it mean to send troops in the near future?
The recent period can be one day, one week, one month, one year... This is much worse than the deadbeat promising to pay you back immediately when he borrowed money from you.

It is impossible that such a major event concerning the fate of the country could not even have an accurate time.

I'm afraid the head of the empire wants to wait for his reply before deciding whether to actually send troops.

If Veigar vetoes any of these, the Empire will regard him as disloyal and cancel all operations.

Therefore, Vega looked at Iroh apologetically, then wrote a letter and handed it to Iroh: "Lieutenant, after the rest, I still have to trouble you to go to the imperial capital again."

"Yes, General."

Yiluo took the letter without any complaints.

This mission of delivering the letter is much safer than going to the battlefield, and the merit is also considerable, so he has no reason to refuse.

As for the content of this letter?
Vega certainly would not say what he meant by that, but he showed in every way that he was loyal to the Empire, and expressed his gratitude and welcome to the Empire for sending troops to assist him in his work after the Kingdom withdrew its troops, and he promised to provide a good reception.

That’s right, the way to deal with a deadbeat is to be even more deadbeat than the deadbeat.

Borrow money?

no problem.

Want money?

No!

Even though Vega is easy to talk to now and even promised to be ready to receive the Empire's reinforcements, if the Kingdom really withdraws its troops and the Empire dares to send troops to interfere in the affairs of the Dynasty, Vega will definitely chop off even his fingers. He will never allow the Empire to interfere in his back garden.

Fortunately, the Empire did not seem to question his loyalty, so it would only take a letter to get it done, otherwise it would really take some trouble.

----

The letter was sent out quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past half month, Vega focused on supervising the production and recovery of the Saint Laurent defense system while anxiously waiting for the Empire to send troops to the United Kingdom. Finally, he received good news early this morning.

The Empire has sent out troops!
Foster Nolan served as the commander-in-chief, with the 5th Elite Mage Division of the Central Army as the vanguard, and the entire 32nd Advanced Air Force set out to coordinate with 52 other coalition forces to cross the Kareni Mountains from the north of the empire and launch an attack on the important city of Gasiri in the south of the kingdom.

This time it's not a small fight.

The empire seems to be willing to use this opportunity to announce to the Galan Continent again who has the strongest army.

Of course the kingdom was prepared for such a big move by the empire.

The United Kingdom urgently dispatched two army groups from various departments, totaling 31 troops to enter the city of Casilli, and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the Imperial Army in the city of Casilli.

The battle lasted from early summer to late autumn, and both armies were exhausted.

A war is supposed to start with a bang, then decline, and finally end. However, the two countries that were really angry not only failed to put out the war, but it became more and more intense. The Empire once again increased its troops on the Kasili front...

The turning point of the war came with the arrival of early winter.

Of course, the Imperial Inquisition Corps intervened in the war, and the kingdom was finally overwhelmed and lost control of the city of Gathili. This protracted war caused the empire to lose nearly 20 people, and the United Kingdom, as the defender, also lost nearly 15 people.

without any exaggeration.

There was no place in and around Gasili that was not stained with blood.

The sky above Jiaxi City was covered with a haze that not even the sun could penetrate.

The effect of the Empire's offensive at all costs was remarkable. Not only did it capture an important city of the Kingdom, it also directly restored the people's trust in the Imperial Army. At the same time, it directly strengthened the morale of the Army and proved in front of the Kingdom's mortal enemy who was the king of land warfare.

Feng Shui turns.

When the kingdom's important cities were lost, the surrounding small and medium-sized cities became targets of the imperial army's ravages.

This time, the Empire even more severely returned the sins that the United Kingdom had once inflicted on the north of the Empire. The United Kingdom, which was already in trouble both internally and externally, seemed to be pushed to the edge of the cliff. There were even rounds of rebellions in the country, and the economy, which had been slightly eased, also experienced a large-scale collapse.

Even worse.

The Imperial Army, having already thrust out the Spear of Vengeance, did not seem to intend to stop easily. They had already moved their troops to the southeastern part of the kingdom, with their spears pointing at Dragon City, the southeastern transportation hub.

This important city is backed by the Dragon Sea and is a transportation hub for sea, land and air.

Once captured by the Imperial Army, the Imperial Air Force can use this place as an airport and establish an air base.

The navy in the eastern part of the empire can continuously land or evacuate troops into the kingdom through the Dragon Sea and establish a war supply line across the two countries. Therefore, the Dragon City is the key to victory.

Both the empire and the kingdom are well aware of its importance.

"General, urgent report!"

Yiluo rushed into the meeting hall excitedly, and then said with joy: "The Empire won a great victory on the front line of Gaxili City, and has already sent troops to Dragon City. The United Kingdom seems unable to maintain a multi-front war, so it is preparing to withdraw the 40 soldiers in the dynasty."

"Already want news?"

"The Royal Army had already set out overnight, and they retreated without even having time to start looting."

"Bring me the map of the eastern part of the dynasty."

Vega pushed the documents on the table to the ground, spread the dynasty map on the table, and then took out a red marker and drew three red lines on the map. These three red lines were the possible retreat routes that the kingdom army might take.
