Mage Veigar

Chapter 393 Plot to seize power
Dynasty five-star general Callison.

Former Guardian Knight Carol.

The return of these two people was within Vega's expectations, but also beyond his expectations.

First of all, as for Kerison, who chose to go south across the river, without the obstruction of the kingdom’s army, he does have a great chance of returning to Saint Laurent, but he also has a 55% chance of going to the west bank, which can be said to be a - probability.

After all, the East Coast is weak.

As a five-star general, Callison should understand that the West Coast has the best chance of unifying the entire Holy Dynasty. At best, he only has a sense of justice, and his military and economic strength are far behind the West Coast.

He didn't believe that Callison was a die-hard fan.

Therefore, Kellison's return to Saint Laurent with his army was both within Vega's expectations and beyond his expectations.

The other person is Carol.

He was once sent to the West Coast by Vega in the name of Xia to recruit. If the plan went right, Carol would have been dealt with by the people of the West Coast by now. There was no way he would appear here and mix with Callison.

This was indeed beyond Vega's expectations.

He simply couldn't believe how stupid the people on the West Coast were that they couldn't even keep Carol.

Therefore, the return of these two people made Vega feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, the entire upper echelons of the dynasty were under his control, and he even replaced all the disharmonious officials. But now, two of the most senior people have come, whom he cannot reconcile by conventional means, and these two people still have the right to speak.

Therefore, Veigar can only place his hopes on...

These two people will not make any discordant voices, let alone sing against him.

But hope is only hope after all, and hope often turns into despair. On the first day that Callison and Carol returned, Vega received the news that Menno had discovered -

The high-ranking officials and nobles who were replaced by Vega secretly contacted Callison and Carol that night under the pretext of a welcoming banquet, and exaggerated what Vega had done in the past few months, even going so far as to threaten the king and seize the dynasty.

Although it is true that they were plotting to seize the dynasty.

But he never threatened Xia, he always adopted a gentle approach.

At the end of the banquet, these high-ranking officials and nobles who had lost their power and were no longer used by Vega regarded Callison as their savior. They attempted to use Callison, who was the most senior and held military power at this stage, to restore their former status.

Will Callison agree?
Of course it is my duty.

After all, this is the Holy Dynasty, and he would not allow an imperial officer to control the government. Moreover, the biggest reason why he chose the East Coast instead of the West Coast was that he could have the highest status and voice in the East Coast. After all, Xia was still young.

If I went to the West Coast.

There were countless officials of higher rank and more seniority than him, so it was not his turn to speak. The fact that he was the only one abandoned on the East Coast was the best proof of this.

But now it's different from what he expected.

This imperial officer who had helped him escape and whom he admired, actually had the greatest say in the court and even replaced all high-ranking officials and nobles without authorization. Doesn't this mean that even if he chose the East Coast, he couldn't do whatever he wanted?

Therefore, in his eyes, Vega is no longer a friend, but a stumbling block.

Fortunately, this is the Holy Dynasty. As the oldest person on the East Coast with 5 soldiers under his command, it is not difficult for him to knock an imperial officer down from a high position of power.

Whether it is the people, officials, or even Xia, they will stand on his side.

Therefore, with the support of everyone, Kailisen agreed to the request of everyone present and prepared to attack Vega in the court the next day. It was the first time that he was treated as a central figure by so many people. This feeling was better than ever before.

So the court meeting was held the next day.

Callison and Carol met with Xia. "Your Majesty Callison."

"Minister Carol."

"To your Majesty."

The two saluted at the same time. Seeing them, Xia said happily: "General Callison and Carol, please stand up quickly. The dynasty is in a state of disrepair and I am very happy to see you return."

"I am willing to die for your majesty and the dynasty."

The two of them answered at the same time, glancing at Vega who was standing in the first position on the left.

Xia smiled and nodded, then looked at Carol, who she once relied on, with a complicated look: "Carol, I asked you to bring my order to request the troops on the west coast to return. What news did you bring back?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Carol quickly knelt on the ground again: "A group of officials from the West Coast, led by the Crown Prince, established a regime. They refused to acknowledge that you were still alive, nor did they acknowledge the orders I brought to the West Coast. They even ordered the Shadow Mage to assassinate me that night."

wow-

The entire court was in an uproar.

“How audacious, how audacious!”

"The people on the west bank are openly committing treason. Your Majesty, please order an army to attack them."

"Your Majesty, please immediately put the Crown Prince and all the generals on the West Coast on the list of treason."

"..."

The discussions in the court seemed to be about to blow the roof off. The behavior of the people on the West Bank was completely unreliable, which was difficult for the extremely conservative and royal-worshiping dynasty officials to accept.

Of course this is only one of them.

In fact, these officials promoted by Vega are eager for the West Coast to rebel. As long as the West Coast rebels, they don’t have to worry about the most senior officials on the West Coast returning to Saint Laurent and taking away their current positions.

Callison saw this.

Disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said loudly: "My Lords, now that the eldest prince has openly committed treason, we really need to send troops to suppress him. I see that you are all patriots. For the glory of Your Majesty, is there anyone who would like to volunteer to suppress the eldest prince's regime?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was silent.

No one is willing to do this. They know the current situation on the East Coast better than anyone else.

Expecting the devastated East Coast to attack the unaffected West Coast is purely a dead end. Moreover, the enemy is fighting at home, and there is absolutely no possibility of defeating the enemy even if the people's support is lost.

"General Callison, I'm afraid now is not the time."

Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, Xia Ya tried to smooth things over and said, "We just drove away the Kingdom's army. There is no need to rush to attack the West Coast. Even if we send troops to the West Coast now, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat them. For now, we should focus on recuperating."

"Your Majesty, there is no time to delay in suppressing the rebellion."

Kailisen said righteously: "For the glory of the dynasty and for your dignity, I think we should send troops immediately. Otherwise, what will the officials and citizens of the East Coast think? And I think it is possible to defeat the West Coast. Please don't forget the legendary general who drove the kingdom's army out of the country by himself - General Vega!"

"I second the motion."

Carol suddenly became shrewd at this time.

When he heard Callison pointing the finger at Vega, he immediately echoed his voice, hoping that Xia would send Vega to the West Coast.
