Mage Veigar

Chapter 430 Prepare for a rainy day
Upstream, the city of black gold.

In the Imperial Army headquarters, Eskar sat in the first seat, looking at the officers with complacency.

"Everyone, I declare the work report meeting officially open."

Seeing that all the officers had arrived, Eskar announced the start of the debriefing meeting.

There is no doubt that this was a post-war summary meeting.

The content of the meeting was of course to summarize the results achieved upstream as the victorious party. They had invested four armies and finally forced the Dynasty Army to withdraw from the City of Black Gold.

"Captain 1, you go first."

Upon hearing this, a major general immediately stood up and said, "Reporting to the commander, our army is responsible for the occupation of 17 medium-sized cities in the upstream area, and now it has all been completed."

"Second Division Commander."

"Reporting to the commander, our army has already wiped out the rebel organizations in the upper reaches of the country, and has strengthened the security of various cities to ensure that the unruly people of the dynasty dare not cause trouble."

"..."

"Finally, the Minister of Intelligence."

"Reporting to the commander, my unit has begun training local war spies. I believe they will be able to be deployed directly to the war in a few months. At the same time, we have already planted spies in the 2 cities upstream. I will inform the commander of the nd Division in a timely manner of any disturbance."

"I need you to speed up."

Eskar frowned and said, "You should know that this time the head of state has increased the number of troops and is determined to quell the war in the dynasty at all costs in order to focus on dealing with the United Kingdom and the Free Alliance that may join the war. Therefore, we must stabilize the rear as quickly as possible at this time, so please make sure to seize the time to train war spies."

"I don't understand."

The intelligence minister said in confusion: "We have already taken over the Black Gold City and the upper reaches, forming a buffer zone for the eastern part of our country. Do we still need to continue to wage war towards the middle and lower reaches at this time?"

"not enough!"

Eskar disclosed the order from the imperial capital: "Don't forget that our Brigadier General Vega is attracting the enemy's attention downstream. It was entirely thanks to him that we were able to capture the Black Gold City and the upstream area so quickly this time. Therefore, the head of state believes that we can use Brigadier General Vega as a pawn to seize half of the dynasty."

"I see."

Everyone suddenly realized: "As expected of the President, if I remember correctly, Brigadier General Vega has been a chess piece in the Dynasty for nearly a year. I never understood why the President did this before, but now I finally understand the wisdom of this move."

"Yes."

Eskar laughed loudly. Vega was also a subordinate he was optimistic about, so he said proudly: "In this war, Brigadier General Vega deserves the most credit. After the war is over, I will recommend him to the Führer for promotion to Lieutenant General."

"Recommend a lieutenant general?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw Eskar's shoulder straps. They didn't understand why a lieutenant general had such a recommendation qualification, and he was promoted from brigadier general to lieutenant general. But after a few seconds, everyone suddenly realized: "Could it be... Commander, you want to be promoted..."

"Hahaha, let's end today's meeting here."

Eskar did not answer the questions, but waved his hand and said, "I will write to Brigadier General Vega later and agree on a date to jointly attack the West Coast regime. With the joint attack from both sides, the situation on the West Coast can be stabilized within a week. By then, I can return to the imperial capital and wait for promotion."

As in the words.

Eskar is just one step away from being promoted to a five-star admiral.

The reason why he was in charge of the war this time was because the Führer wanted him to be promoted to the top quickly, so he arranged a risk-free war to push Eskar up.

There really is no risk.

With Vega attracting attention downstream, it would be too easy for them to send out four armies to take over the entire West Coast. This war was impossible to fail, so Eskar was looking forward to taking over the West Coast and returning home to get promoted. Before that.

He wanted to write a good letter to Vega, asking this most loyal subordinate in his impression to cooperate with him to take over the west coast.

----

City of Stone.

Vega received a letter from Eskar a few days later.

The letter begins with high affirmation and praise for his work, which is a common practice in the empire.

Then, let Vega cooperate to launch an attack on the middle reaches of the river more than a month later, that is, on December 12th, to attract the attention of the west coast army. The Empire will send troops on December 15th, taking advantage of the fact that the west coast army has been transferred to the downstream and the front and rear cannot take care of each other, and suddenly launch an attack, march straight into the city of Donbu in one fell swoop.

Just like the literal meaning.

This is using him as bait.

However, this time it was not a free-for-nothing deal where he was asked to be loyal to the so-called empire without any benefits. Eskar promised Vega that after the war, he would jump two levels and be directly promoted to lieutenant general.

If it were in the past.

Veigar, who has nowhere to go, might consider it. After all, he is nothing if he leaves the empire.

But now the entire dynasty is basically under his control, and he has won high recognition from the civilians. In the end, only a few pieces of territory on the west coast have not been taken back. In this situation, only a fool would sacrifice himself for the so-called lieutenant general.

The empire could no longer give him what he wanted.

Therefore, Vega rolled his eyes and decided to take advantage of the fact that the Empire still trusted him and tricked the Empire. Not only did he want to make the Empire fail in this war, but he also wanted them to give up the City of Black Gold.

However, if you want to commit treason, you must make full preparations in advance.

After all, the Empire is a behemoth, and its treatment of traitors is the harshest among all countries. The mortality rate of traitors is almost 100%, and Vega does not intend to become one of this 100%.

Plan ahead.

First, Vega wrote a letter to Silis who was far away in the imperial capital, asking Silis to find a way to sever all ties with him, and use the connections in her hands to swear allegiance to the empire and protect herself.

If you really can't sever the connection.

Then Vega suggested that Qilisi leave the imperial capital immediately and rush to Saint Laurent, and at the same time secretly transfer assets and talents to the dynasty, especially production technologies related to airship manufacturing and other core industries, as much as possible.

I thought about it.

Vega finally added: When you can’t even transfer your assets, you must first ensure your own safety.

Sent this letter.

Vega took out the intermediate lower-level shadow magic and intermediate combat skills he had collected in the past few days from the drawer. He planned to take advantage of this peaceful period to improve his strength.

Although he is quite confident in his own strength, the enemy this time is the Legion of Inquisition that traitors fear.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Vega didn't want to die in the battlefield, but instead capsize in the gutter.
