Mage Veigar

Chapter 395: Qing Jun’s side?
Outside the city, the camp.

Since Callison had just returned, his soldiers were not allowed by Vega to stay in the city and could only be temporarily stationed 5 miles away from Saint Laurent City, but the army's supplies were provided by Vega.

Therefore, after the court meeting ended.

Callison returned to the camp outside the city. It is unknown why he did not choose to stay in the comfortable city.

Carol was also with him.

Since Carol is no longer Xia's guardian knight, he is not qualified to be with Xia. In addition, he does not hold any position and even his status as a messenger has expired. Therefore, Carol, who has nowhere to go, can only temporarily seek refuge with Callison.

This also made him extremely depressed.

The glory and status of the past have become a thing of the past. He can no longer return to the home where he has lived for more than ten years. Xia, the most important person in his heart, no longer even looks at him. In the end, he can only shamelessly eat and drink for free in Kailisen's place. This humiliation makes him almost crazy.

"Lord Carol."

Looking at Carol's expression, Callison suddenly asked, "Are you really willing?"

What does it mean?
Callison seemed to have something else in his words, but the stubborn Carol didn't seem to hear it. He said quite frankly, "Of course I'm unwilling, but what can I do? I once swore allegiance to Her Majesty Xia in front of my teacher and the late emperor. As long as it is her order, I will obey it unconditionally, so my unwillingness is really not worth mentioning."

There was an inexplicable gleam in Callison's eyes.

He said with a smile: "Lord Carol, you grew up with Her Majesty, so you should know that Her Majesty is not an ungrateful person. But now she ignores you and even removes your position as Guardian Knight without making any other arrangements. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Carol had a puzzled look on her face.

He asked in confusion, "I think it's normal. There's nothing strange about it, Your Majesty."

"..."

Callison took a deep breath to calm himself down and continued, "Lord Carol, don't you understand? Her Majesty was coerced by that brat. If not for this, given your friendship with Her Majesty, she would never abandon you. She even let me retire under the brat's suggestion."

"Coercion?!"

Carol slammed the table angrily and said, "If a mere imperial officer dares to do such a treasonous thing, I will definitely chop off his head and let him know the consequences of bullying my dynasty."

"it is good!"

Callison clapped his hands repeatedly, and then said, "Lord Carol's loyalty is evident to all. As a five-star general of the dynasty, I cannot be left behind as a veteran of two dynasties. This time, even if it costs me my life, I will purge the emperor's entourage and cut that brat into pieces."

"Thank you General Callison."

Carol was very moved and said, "Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I also want to help Your Majesty. I have long seen that the little devil has bad intentions, and I will not let him off this time."

"There is indeed something you need to do here."

Kailisen smiled and said, "Without further delay, I have decided to launch an attack on Saint Laurent at 3 a.m. tonight to catch that brat by surprise. Therefore, I need your help to open the city gate. As the strongest man in your dynasty, I'm afraid no one can stop you."

"besides."

Callison patted Carol on the shoulder and said, "I'm afraid that little devil will harm His Majesty after the defeat. After you open the city gate, please rush to the palace and rescue His Majesty to our camp as soon as possible. This way, His Majesty will be protected."

"You will definitely live up to your destiny."

Carol patted his chest, full of confidence.

Seeing this, Callison laughed out loud: "I feel relieved with Lord Carol's words. After this matter, His Majesty will definitely reward you greatly. By then, you may be able to resume your position as the Guardian Knight and become His Majesty's support again."

Carol's eyes lit up.

This was something he had always dreamed of, so he said goodbye to Kellison with full confidence and went to prepare.

After seeing Carol off, Callison's smile faded.

He only had two choices. One was to obey Xia's orders and return home. The second was to lead the remaining 5 soldiers to start a rebellion. As long as Vega was eliminated in a short time.

Then after the war he would naturally become the number one in the East. With the support of the old nobles and former officials, he would be able to easily control the entire court and truly become the center of everyone's attention.

all the time.

At the top of the pyramid, he is always the most marginalized person.

Good things will not call him, and bad things have nothing to do with him. He is a completely transparent character. He is only remembered when retreating to the west coast, and is finally ruthlessly abandoned.

So he had had enough of being just another person.

That’s why he chose to return to Yves Saint Laurent. He didn’t want to continue being an ordinary person. This time he wanted to be truly second to none.

And as a general, he realized this was an opportunity.

Because the entire Saint Laurent city is stationed with Vega's 2 imperial troops, the other 21 recruits were either sent to various cities to suppress the situation or undergo actual combat-level military training after the kingdom withdrew its troops. It was impossible for them to support the capital in a short period of time.

the most important is.

No one could have guessed that he, a five-star general, would suddenly launch a coup.

Therefore, it was very easy to capture Saint Laurent by surprise. Even the man who was hailed as the devil of war by the kingdom would never have thought that he would start a war at this time.

That’s right, the scariest thing in this world is not the enemy.

There is a kind of people who are more terrifying than the enemy, and that is our own people.

Throughout history, some talented generals did not die at the hands of the enemy, but rather at the hands of guards, friends, relatives... people they could fully trust.

----

Saint Laurent, City Lord's Mansion.

Menno knocked on the door of Vega's office, then walked in and reported: "General, everything is as you expected. That Kellison did not stay in Saint Laurent after the court meeting, but rushed to the troop station with Carol."

"Lieutenant."

"The subordinate is here."

Vega said without even looking up: "Notify the troops to prepare for battle. Here is the plan. I don't need to deal with these defeated soldiers myself. I will leave it to you to command. I believe you will not let me down."

"General, I can't do this."

Iroh was about to cry. He was just an adjutant, and his only experience in leading troops in battle was the last time he attacked Saint Laurent. This time, a battle of life and death was thrown to him by Vega. How could he shoulder this responsibility?

"I believe you."

Vega gave Iroh a look that said "I'm optimistic about you" and then walked out of the meeting room. "The enemy's attack time will probably be between 24:00 and 3:30 at night. You just need to follow the steps in the plan step by step. From now on, I will stay in the palace to ensure your majesty's safety. If you have any questions, please come to the palace to find me."

"Yes, General!"

At this point, Yiluo had no choice but to agree.

So when Vega disappeared from the conference room, Iroh opened the battle plan under Menno's envious eyes, and saw a line of words marked on the first line of the first page:

The main theoretical basis of this operational plan is:

street fighting.
