Mage Veigar

Chapter 488: Northern Expedition
The arrogance of the 18-nation coalition was beyond Vega's expectations.

Vega didn't know who gave them the courage, so they just ignored his warnings. After all, they each served their own master and had no choice.

But while ignoring the warnings, he also took it upon himself to issue such an ultimatum as a warning. Could it be that the weight of the name "Vega" is really so light in the international war arena?
No matter whether it is the empire or the kingdom, no one dares to underestimate him now.

The empire tried every means to stop him even for such an insignificant matter as getting married, but these vassal states were like the village that had just been connected to the Internet, and they actually dared to make such bold statements to him.

Words spoken are like water poured out.

Now Vega has only one thought in his mind, that is to let this group of rabble know what real war is.

failure?

This absolutely does not exist.

If the Kingdom and the Empire were compared to dungeons of hell difficulty, then the coalition forces of 18 nations were at best at the level of a novice village, and their only role was to delay Veigar's time.

In the eyes of the Empire.

If the coalition of 18 nations could hold off Vega for two months, it would be a huge victory.

As for defeating Vega and taking down Saint Laurent... the Imperial Military Staff will not be as naive as the 18-Nation Alliance in this kind of self-deception. People who have not experienced international wars will never understand the horror of Vega.

The 18-Nation Alliance is now just a glimpse of the whole picture.

With their own narrow vision, they arbitrarily speculated that international wars would be just like that. Everyone would just let soldiers charge with spears and engage in hand-to-hand combat, while magicians would shoot arrows from behind. No matter how capable you, Vega, are, you can't make war any more exciting.

So for Vega.

If he can't even defeat such a mob, then he might as well just give up his arms and return to the countryside. There's no point in fighting.

That night.

Vega came to the palace and asked the guards for permission to meet Xia. The purpose of his trip was to say goodbye to Xia.

"See Your Majesty."

Vega bowed slightly, then raised his head and was about to say something when he noticed that Xia's eyes were slightly red, obviously showing that she had just cried, which made Vega's heart tremble.

Is someone trying to harm Xia?
He walked briskly to within a meter of Xia Ya and said, "Your Majesty, has anyone done anything bad to you? If you have been wronged by anyone, please tell me and I will destroy them to ashes."

"Thank you General."

Seeing Vega standing right in front of her, Xia couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She said with a voice full of grievance: "I'm almost fulfilling my wish, and even the wedding date is just around the corner, but...but..."

By the end of her speech, Xia was choked with sobs and couldn't utter a single word.

After hearing what Xia said, Vega was relieved. As long as Xia didn't have any accidents, he could rest assured. However, Vega didn't know how to deal with the sentimentality of the little girl.

And he didn't understand that postponing the wedding date was not the same as canceling the marriage, so there was nothing to be sad about.

So the question is, how to comfort Xia?

Veiga suddenly had an idea and thought of the most common method used by those scumbags in his previous life to deceive girls -

oath!

Vega looked at Xia sincerely and said, "I swear in the name of Saint Laurent that I will make those invaders who dare to challenge your majesty's dignity pay with blood. Within three months, I will use the victory of this war as our wedding gift."

"Please be careful."

Xia looked affectionate and finally revealed a happy smile.

At this moment, she wanted to show off to the whole world. Look, the man she loved was going to present a great victory in war for their wedding. After comforting Xia, Vega left the palace.

The next day, he left Saint Laurent City with the assembled 20 main forces of the Royal Legion amid the cheers of the people. Vega's goal this time was to pacify the north within three months and teach the arrogant people a bloody lesson.

On the tower of Saint Laurent.

Xia watched Vega go away. When Vega disappeared on the horizon, she could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into Celis’s arms: “Ms. Celis, when will this world be truly peaceful?”

"……Peace?"

Qi Lisi's eyes flashed with confusion: "I think that is probably the most unattainable thing in the world."

----

Da da da--

In the morning breeze, Vega left Saint Laurent City, and he never looked back.

Because he knew very well that if he turned around, he would see Xia on the city wall, and then he would have some emotions that he could not control.

He was extremely afraid of that emotion.

Because Vega believes that if one wants to become a king, to be at the top of the world, and to live a truly comfortable life, then one must never give birth to something called love before the overall situation is determined.

Vega understood deeply.

Love is something that can overwhelm your rationality at any time and cause you to develop countless weaknesses.

At this stage, he is like dancing on a tightrope with a bottomless abyss below. Even the slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation.

Therefore, when facing love, it is not that he does not want to, but that he dares not. After all, everyone loves beauty, but at this moment, love is indeed the most luxurious thing for Vega.

He is not the protagonist of a biographical novel, nor is he a hero who can save the world. He is just an ordinary person who is afraid of death. As an ordinary person, he wants to conquer the world and save women. His greed will only lead to his own death.

So now all he needs are chess pieces.

Whether it is Iroh, Celis, or Xia, they are all chess pieces. A gambler may feel regretful if he loses a chess piece, but a true chess player will not lose his mind because of a chess piece.

Only by controlling yourself can you control your enemy.

Vega froze all his emotions and left Saint Laurent without looking back. Seven days later, he brought his army to the City of Ice and Fire.

At this time, the City of Ice and Fire was already crumbling, and the city walls were in ruins. After the soldiers of the Suo Dynasty learned that Vega was about to arrive, they gathered unprecedented willpower and persisted until today under the enemy's fierce attack.

"Commander, you are finally here."

A lieutenant general cried with joy and was obviously on the verge of collapse.

In the past, he would have abandoned the city and fled in the face of a war of this magnitude. However, after Vega came to power, he did not do the same thing as before. Like other soldiers, he also had a one-sided superstition about one thing—

As long as Vega arrives in this war, there is no possibility of failure.

With the belief that he would hold on until Vega arrived no matter what, he gritted his teeth and finally waited until today.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work."

Veigar nodded to the general and strode forward. “Go tell the soldiers that the clarion call for counterattack has been sounded. The war of revenge is about to come. I will lead them to victory.”
