Mage Veigar

Chapter 399 The situation suddenly changes

better than nothing.

Although only one of Carol's arms was broken, the importance of arms to a shadow mage is unquestionable. Losing his left hand means that Carol's strength has dropped by more than 10% or 20%.

If I meet Carol next time.

Vega felt that he didn't even need to do it himself, and could just send a team of mages to deal with the opponent. Even if Carol was the descendant of a famous teacher, no matter how many props she had, they would all be used up one day.

And if he could trick him once, twice, or three times, Vega would be sure to trick him to death.

This is Veigar's confidence.

He also must have the confidence to deal with Carol. If he doesn't even have this confidence, he would have been swallowed up by this world where the strong prey on the weak long ago, and how could he reach the pinnacle of power and live a comfortable life?

Moreover, his strength will continue to improve with the war. Although the death toll of 1.5 people did not allow him to see the shadow of a lower-level mage, it has already made him vaguely touch the edge of a mid-level professional. It seems that as long as there are another 1.5 people, it will be enough for him to be promoted to a mid-level professional.

At this stage.

Due to the upper limit of his magic power and mental strength, he cannot use too many combat skills and magic at the same time. But if he is promoted to a mid-level professional, with the upper limit of his magic power, he can still cope with the battle by using three more combat skills.

However, in the near future, it may be difficult to be promoted to a mid-level professional.

Because on the east coast of the dynasty, with the retreat of his number one enemy, the United Kingdom, he also cleaned up some bugs, so there are no more troublemakers in the entire east, and this place has become his one-man show.

The real one-man show!
Through this incident, Xia has regretted not believing his words, which means that in future wars, Xia will believe in him even more and probably won't have the courage to refute his words again.

This is where Vega's brilliance lies.

He knew that it was useless to persuade a person with words because human beings are arrogant and stubborn.

The only things that can awaken or confuse a person are what he sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears.

Therefore, when he was rejected by Xia, he pretended to leave, but actually hid in the palace, just to make Xia feel guilty for not listening to his words afterwards, and he suddenly appeared in the critical moment... Now it seems that the effect is quite significant.

The internal conflicts in the eastern part of the country have been resolved.

Strengthened control over Xia.

According to Vega's strategic four rings.

Now he had to rest and recuperate, wait for the harvest season, wait for the restoration of the dynasty's industry, wait for the training of the new soldiers to be completed, wait for the Empire and the Kingdom to be defeated, wait for the Empire to demand the City of Black Gold from the West Coast, and wait for the Kingdom to deliver 200 war airships to him...

This is a long waiting period.

According to Vega's estimation, the waiting period would be at least one year and at most two years before he would have the capital to unify the West Coast.

After all, a war is not just about the number of troops. The amount of supplies and the country's economy are also major factors in the war. The Empire can recklessly launch a war against the Kingdom thanks to the stable domestic environment and economic foundation. Now, Vega's economy obviously does not have the ability to wage a cross-border war, unless he can take over the West Coast at the lowest cost...

Let go of your thoughts for a while.

Vega comforted Shia and then left the palace.

The sun had already risen, and the city was still filled with traces of the war. The subsidies for the burned-down residential areas were an astronomical figure, which made Vega feel very painful, after all, he was already short of money.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Vega to make money.

He is not one of those people who was an ordinary person before traveling through time, but becomes knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography after traveling through time. It is no problem for you to ask him to talk about world history for a whole day, because history was his major in college.

If you want him to build a Gundam with his bare hands, you should just let him go. He can't even recite the periodic table of chemical elements from middle school, how can you expect him to make a fortune? If he really had this ability, he would have invented gunpowder long ago to let the enemy know what the power of science is.

Specialize in a certain field.

Therefore, Vega can only leave these economic matters to professional financial institutions.

As for himself, he kept an eye on the international situation, trained soldiers, and prepared to attack the West Coast at any time.

Originally it was like this...

But man proposes, God disposes. Vega's peaceful days only lasted for a month. A war report sent back from the kingdom made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave and disrupted all his plans.

"General, the war situation in the kingdom has taken a turn."

Iroh handed the battle report to Vega with a serious expression: "United Kingdom, Dragon City has fallen."

blah-

The battle report that he had just taken over fell to the ground.

Vega quickly bent over to pick up the battle report and began to read it carefully.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Vega murmured to himself. He couldn't believe that the Imperial Army could actually take Dragon City head-on when being attacked from all sides. Was this still the arrogant Imperial Army he remembered?
In any case, it turned his worldview upside down.

The battle report is also displayed.

After capturing Dragon City, the Empire immediately opened up a sea supply line. Now a large number of Imperial troops and supplies are using the naval fleet to reinforce Dragon City from the Dragon Sea, completely turning Dragon City into an iron barrel.

Under such circumstances, the kingdom was no longer able to take back the Dragon City.

Failure to reclaim Dragon City meant that the Empire would use Dragon City as a springboard to gradually erode the Kingdom's territory. The Kingdom was in a turbulent period and was likely to be destroyed.

This is definitely not good news for Vega.

The kingdom was mired in war and even destroyed, which not only meant that he would not be able to obtain the 200 war airships, but also meant that the growing empire would turn its attention to the Holy Dynasty after digesting the kingdom.

The reason why Vega helped the Kingdom was to allow him to contain the Empire.

Now the kingdom is on the verge of collapse. The main force of the empire has not been lost outside the Dragon City, and the dynasty army he has is unable to form combat effectiveness. It does not even have the economic foundation to expedition to the empire and force the empire to withdraw.

If this continues, won't we just be waiting for death?
Vega began to lose his mind, which was definitely not what he had planned.

Although he knew very well that he had to do something to help the kingdom fight against the empire, he did not have any ability to help the kingdom overcome the difficulties it had faced. The kingdom could only rely on itself from now on.

Of course, Vega won't just sit there and wait for death.

Even an ant will fight hard when facing death, let alone Vega who has come all the way to where he is today?

“It’s time to start with the West Coast.”

Vega crumpled up the battle report and muttered to himself.

He has realized that he must retake the West Coast in advance and prepare for future wars in the best condition. Otherwise, with the dynasty's current internal and external troubles, Vega sees no hope of winning.
