Mage Veigar

Chapter 474 Hesitation
a few days later.

The Empire sent 400 war airships as promised, and Vega also released 30 prisoners and generals including Eskar, and withdrew troops from the border.

This result is relatively satisfactory for both Vega and the Empire.

Because the bottom line of the Empire is 400 war airships and some empty promises, and Vega's goal is only to use these prisoners to exchange for enough war airships to form two air corps, as well as to retain an excuse to use force against the Empire.

Now there are airships.

Every Word Mage and Magician has a basic understanding of flying an airship, so Vega is already able to raise two aviation corps and restore the dynasty's most basic national defense and foreign war capabilities.

There is no aviation corps.

Then Vega will never have the ability to fight a direct battle, except in some areas such as forests where war airships cannot participate.

Two aviation corps and one aviation brigade are Vega's current air forces.

However, when Vega returned to the city of Donbu, the envoy he sent to the kingdom had already returned and reported to Vega the kingdom's response to Vega's proposal.

This response is just like what happened in the Vega phenomenon.

As long as Vega sent troops to the Empire to attract the Empire's attention, the Kingdom agreed to deliver the warships in advance. To show its sincerity, the Kingdom first took out 100 warships as a deposit, and then delivered another 100 warships after the Empire withdrew its troops.

"Tell the kingdom that it's a pleasure to work with you."

Vega had no reason to reject this proposal. The goal at this stage was to prevent the empire from continuing to grow. Helping the kingdom would mean buying time for himself. Vega hoped that he could be the winner in this war.

Of course, this matter was not actually implemented so quickly.

Such a major event as sending troops must wait until the domestic situation is stabilized first. If the domestic society is in turmoil, warmongering will only lead to self-destruction. Fortunately, now is not a suitable season for war, so the war between the kingdom and the empire has not yet started.

If Veigar's guess is correct.

The empire will probably officially launch the war when the weather is comfortable in late spring or early summer, which is the most suitable season for marching and fighting except for the season after the autumn harvest, and there are still about 4 months to go.

With these four months.

Vega believed that this was enough time for him to stabilize the domestic situation, select talents, consolidate his regime, and use this time to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the air force and ground forces.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

Although the Galan Continent entered a brief period of peace, the imperial government system put pressure on the trial system by threatening funding, and the trial of Vega was put on the agenda again.

As the direct person responsible for this incident.

In a house in a civilian area in the city of Dunbu, Old Scimitar received an urging letter from the trial system.

The letter required Old Scimitar to judge Veigar within a month, otherwise the task would be handed over to someone else. At the same time, Old Scimitar himself would be punished for his poor performance. The punishment was clearly written in black and white: increasing taxes on the western tribes.

At this stage.

The Empire's tax on tribal subjects is as high as 50%. If it continues to increase, the tribal subjects will almost be reduced to the same level as slaves, which is something Old Scimitar absolutely does not want to see.

The sons and daughters of the tribe should not become the livestock of the empire!

Therefore, after receiving the letter, a flash of anger appeared in Old Scimitar's eyes, and then it became dim again.

He could not resist the Empire.

He was willing to serve the empire for the sake of his tribe and was ready to sacrifice himself to save the tribe.

Therefore, this time he had to complete the mission even if it cost him his life.

Now he did think of some ways to deal with Veigar, but he had his own rhythm. Forcing things to happen would only increase his chances of failure. Unfortunately, the top management only wanted the results, not the process. After a little preparation, Old Scimitar left the house.

He knew that with his current strength, he could only fight Vega on equal terms, or even lose, because Vega had a considerable number of mage guards under his command, and these forces were enough to be lethal at a critical moment.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason.

Old Scimitar believes that the key to defeating Veigar lies in the weapon in Veigar's hand.

That weapon had the same properties as his scimitar, becoming more powerful the longer the fight dragged on.

Therefore, the way to defeat Vega is obvious.

Take that weapon.

As long as he could take away Vega's weapon, Old Scimitar thought he could easily defeat Vega.

Moreover, after such a long period of fermentation, I believe that Vega's fear of him has reached its peak. When he loses that weapon, the fear will probably be enough to overwhelm Vega.

Therefore, what Old Scimitar is considering now is how to take away Veigar's Doran's Blade. Old Scimitar already has a preliminary plan in his mind about this issue. He believes that after a few days of preparation, it can be implemented immediately.

----

The great city of Dunbu, the headquarters of the dynasty’s army.

Ever since Vega returned to the city of Dunbu, he has been busy with government affairs and only had some free time today.

However, the higher your position, the less time you will have for yourself.

Even during rest time, Vega was thinking about how to deal with the Imperial Inquisitor hidden in the darkness. The last assassination attempt by Old Scimitar left a deep impression on him, and Vega did not want to experience that feeling of powerlessness a second time.

Fortunately.

After this war, Vega gained some gains.

These gains made Veigar very confident that he could defeat Old Scimitar in a head-on fight.

Of course, it should be noted that this gain is not an improvement in one's own strength, which is very regrettable.

Including the previous wars, Vega's subordinates wiped out more than 9 imperial soldiers, but he still failed to advance and is still a mid-level professional.

Vega now has a premonition.

The extraordinary evil power may need to consume more than 10,000 ordinary soldiers and about a thousand professions before he can truly be promoted to a mid-level magician and a high-level professional. However, Vega obviously has no way to improve his strength in a short period of time, and the entire continent has fallen into a period of peace.

Since he didn't advance, why did Veigar dare to assert that he could defeat Old Scimitar head-on?

This is of course because Veigar has gained a considerable number of skill points, and when these skill points can no longer be used to stack magic and combat skills, he can also choose to exchange them for some weapons in LOL.

That's where his Doran's Blade comes from.

After this war, Veigar's total skill points reached 130 points.

Now Vega discovered that several weapons he was familiar with appeared in his field of vision, and he could easily exchange them into reality by using these skill points.

Therefore, Vega was in a state of hesitation.

Should I discard Doran's Sword or choose to exchange it for a new weapon.
