Mage Veigar

Chapter 470 Persuading Surrender
Today it is today.

Eskar already knew that his military career was about to end, and the empire had to redeem him only for the sake of justice. After redemption, he was either kept in cold storage or stripped of his honors and forced to retire early. These were all natural.

After withdrawing from the stage of international war.

His and Vega's identities will be as different as heaven and earth. One is a victorious general feared by all countries, and the other is a retired general who has even his honors stripped away. It is likely that they will never meet again in this life.

So Eskar thought.

If I don't ask Vega about the two questions in my heart today, I will never be able to resolve the doubts in my life.

So Eskar asked Vega his first question: "Even now, there is still a mystery that I cannot solve. This question is about the ambush that your army used to capture the Black Gold City in the last battle."

"I would like to ask your Excellency."

Eskar stared into Vega's eyes. "Where on earth did you hide such a large ambush? Judging from the size of the Black Gold City's garrison at the time, it must have been more than a legion, and a legion has more than 30,000 people. It is impossible for such a large target of 30,000 people to be hidden from our eyes. Please explain this to me, sir."

The biggest reason for the failure of this battle lies here.

If this army had been discovered in advance, the City of Black Gold would not have been lost. If the City of Black Gold had not been lost, they could have retreated into it, and the war would not have reached the situation it is today.

But even with Eskar's intelligence, he couldn't figure out where Vega hid such a large army that he didn't even notice it.

"Hahaha!"

Vega did not answer Eskar's question, but laughed out loud.

Eskar thought that Vega was laughing at him, so he asked angrily, “Excuse me, sir, why are you laughing?”

"I'm so sorry, I'm just honored."

Vega really didn't expect that Eskar still hadn't figured out the trick until today, and being able to deceive a senior general for such a long time made Vega feel very accomplished, so he expressed his honor.

But after laughing, Vega immediately straightened his expression.

He coughed twice and said to Eskar, "Your Excellency, you don't know that there were no 4000 troops. The fighting force in the city at that time was no more than at most. That was just a trick to deceive you."

"What does your Excellency mean?"

Eskar's eyes widened. Vega's words finally made him suddenly understand: "I see, I see. Your army just changed the national flag and pretended that everything was ready to disrupt our army's morale. Is all this our preconceived notion?!"

I understand. I understand everything.

Eskar regretted his decision. If he had ordered the entire army to attack the City of Black Gold at that time, he would probably have been able to recapture the city in less than ten minutes. After all, there was no defensive force in the city.

"Your Excellency, are you regretting not ordering an attack on the city?"

Vega seemed to see through Eskar. He felt that his plan was somewhat insulted, so he sneered and said, "Excuse me, even if you ordered an attack on the city at that time, do you think your soldiers would obey your orders?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Eskar still remembered that after seeing the flag flying over the City of Black Gold, the entire army was in chaos. Even his order to break out was not executed, let alone counterattack the City of Black Gold?
It turned out that everything was within Veigar's plan. When he left the city, the ladder had been taken away. He was actually in a dilemma. No matter which decision he made, there was no other way but failure.

"I am convinced by this battle."

Eskar seemed to have aged by dozens of years, and he lowered his head in dejection.

He originally thought that he had just made a wrong decision, but in the end he found that no matter what decision he made, he had no chance of winning. This feeling of being plotted against was too much of a blow to Eskar, a senior general.

"May I ask your Excellency another question?"

Vega checked the time and saw that Eskar had been silent for a long time, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Eskar took a deep breath after hearing this, and then asked Vega the second question: "The second question I want to ask you is, why did you betray the empire and join this weak Holy Dynasty? With your merits and abilities at that time, you had the opportunity to be promoted to a five-star general within ten years and truly stand at the top of the empire's pyramid. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"ten years?"

Veigar laughed sarcastically: "Don't you think ten years is too long? Moreover, in the Empire, I will be subordinate to others for the rest of my life, but in this Holy Dynasty, not even the King dares to go against my will! If it were you, what would you choose?"

Eskar fell silent.

It was not until a few minutes later that he let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that you have set up such a big plan in the dynasty. Even the queen is under your control. If it were me, it would be difficult to resist such a temptation."

Vega's eyes lit up when he heard this.

From this sentence, he could vaguely hear that Eskar was not absolutely loyal to the empire, and was very unwilling to give up his military power and go home to farm. This made Vega think that he could try to persuade Eskar to surrender.

So he said meaningfully: "I wonder if you are willing to work with me in the Dynasty? I can assure you that your status and treatment in the Dynasty are definitely higher than those in the Empire, and the Dynasty is rising, and it will definitely be the rising star of Jialan."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Eskar finally shook his head. "I am indeed very reluctant to leave the army, and I am at a loss as to what to do if I cannot continue to command the war. But I am a general of the empire after all, and I don't think the trial system will let me go. I believe that your Excellency has also experienced the power of the trial system, right? As long as you are alive, they will never give up."

It turns out the problem lies here.

Vega saw through the problem at a glance, so he smiled and said, "The Judgment System is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but I don't think the same as you. No one stipulates that we can only be hunted by them and cannot resist. If the Judgment System really annoys me one day, I don't mind uprooting it."

Eskar's face froze.

From ancient times to the present, everyone has been thinking about how to escape the pursuit of the Judgment System, and they all ended up failing in the end. However, Vega's brain circuit is different from everyone else's. He... actually thought about how to destroy the Judgment System.

"Perhaps this is the fundamental difference between us and your Excellency..."

Eskar said to Vega solemnly: "I look forward to the day when you destroy the Judgment System!"

"It's a word."

Vega laughed and escorted Eskar out of the cell and to the negotiation room.
