Mage Veigar

Chapter 493 Immortal guides the way
goo-dong-

Grand Duke Reynolds Baya swallowed, looked around, and found that the guards had not noticed the sudden appearance of a letter on his desk, so he asked all the guards to leave the room.

When Reynolds was alone in the office, he opened the letter.

The content of the letter was very simple, no more than three lines in total. The first line was a greeting, and as for the second line...

Someone invited him to meet at the Ice and Snow Lake?

When Reynolds saw the second line, he almost laughed out loud. Who on earth was so bored as to invite him to meet in that deserted place? This wasn't a tryst between a boy and a girl.

But when Reynolds saw the signature on the third line, he was shocked.

“Ve…Veiga?!”

After wiping his eyes, Reynolds couldn't help but take a second look, and finally confirmed that this was indeed an invitation letter from Vega.

What is Reynolds' first feeling now?
It was not because he was deeply thinking about the reason why he invited him, but because he was very excited and thrilled, even a little proud.

This is understandable. Although he and Vega are rivals, this does not prevent Reynolds from admiring Vega himself.

He was a legitimate military academy graduate, so of course he had a deep understanding of the barriers between military academies. The Imperial Central Military Academy and the Southwestern Military Academy were so different that the difference was like heaven and earth. The students of local military academies all looked up to the graduates of the Central Military Academy.

And it was through the military academy that Reynolds learned how terrible international war is.

Reynolds didn't even dare to think about being able to establish a great reputation on the stage of international war and toy with those five-star generals at his fingertips, let alone receiving Vega's personal letter today.

need to know.

Among the vassal states, there are almost no five-star generals, let alone brigadier generals. The Hundred Races Tribe was so powerful back then, but they were still beaten by a major general without any chance of fighting back.

Now he is a third-rate commander.

No! If he were placed on the international war stage, he could be considered a low-ranking commander, but he actually received an invitation from a senior officer on the front line?
And Vega still used the word "meeting".

At that moment, Reynolds felt that he was no longer on the same level as the other grand dukes. He was already a member of the international war arena, on an equal footing with those five-star generals. In this situation, how could he not be excited and proud?

Soldiers pursue honor.

For a soldier, it is an incomparable honor to be able to die on the highest stage at the hands of a famous general of the time.

Although Reynolds Baya is the king of a vassal state, he has been influenced by the advanced ideas of the empire and regards stepping onto the stage of world war as his lifelong pursuit.

So should I go to this meeting or not?
The answer is obvious: you must go.

Even if he would never come back, he had to make this trip and sit down with Vega for a meeting. That was a qualification only the world's famous generals had. Now that this opportunity had fallen upon him, how could he easily miss it.

So two days later.

Reynolds Baya took only two guards and quietly left the camp and headed towards the Ice and Snow Lake.

It took about 5 hours.

From here, you can see the center of the ice and snow lake from afar. In a dome pavilion made of white stones, Vega is drinking black coffee, seemingly enjoying the bitter taste.

The spring sun shines on Vega.

It was hard for Reynolds Baya to imagine that this harmless little boy was actually the Vega who was feared by all the nations.

"Your Majesty Reynolds, please take a seat."

Vega invited Reynolds to sit opposite him in a dignified manner, and asked his men to make him a cup of coffee. He always had a friendly and bright smile on his face, which instantly calmed Reynolds' vigilance.

What followed was an hour or two of small talk.

The topic of small talk was very boring. Reynolds finally couldn't help but ask the question in his mind: "Excuse me, sir, you asked me here today, didn't you just want to talk about these?" Reynolds didn't know.

The last person who asked this question... no, it should be said that the first few who sat opposite Veigar, chatted with Veigar and asked this question, one of them was also a king. He has passed away now, and the remaining ones are not much better. They were cheated and still have psychological trauma.

Therefore, when this question came out of Reynolds' mouth, Vega finally straightened his face: "Your Majesty is wise. I invited Your Majesty here this time because I do have something important to discuss. But before we talk about the business, please allow me to ask Your Majesty a question."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Vega smiled and said, "The Jialan Continent has been at war for years, with the Empire resisting the Western Alliance, the Northern War Kingdom, the Tiger Dynasty, and eighteen vassal states. Your Majesty, what do you think is the reason?"

Reynolds was silent for a few minutes, and then finally confirmed: "The army is invincible, and there are many famous generals?"

“Your Majesty, who do you think is the truly famous general in this empire?” Vega asked with a burning gaze.

Reynolds asked tentatively: "The Unbreakable Formation, General Kafuin?"

"Humph, a clay chicken and a clay dog, it will break into pieces at the first touch."

"Think twice, General Eskar?"

"A defeated general, not worth mentioning."

"Turning defeat into victory, General Foster?"

"The rat is short-sighted and has courage but no strategy."

"..."

"Could it be His Excellency the Führer?"

"Although the leader has foresight, his sharpness has been lost and it is not worth mentioning."

"hiss--"

Reynolds Baya's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he looked at Vega with horror.

Each of the people he just listed was a general he admired. He even thought that if these people led troops to attack his country, the only thing he could do was to sit and wait for death.

However, these famous generals of the time became third-rate stuff in Vega's mouth.

But what they said was well-founded, and many of them were defeated by Vega. He really had the qualifications to look down on these famous generals of the time.

Therefore, Reynolds finally said tremblingly: "Then, Your Excellency, who do you think is a famous general in this empire?"

"I believe the empire is long gone and there are no generals left."

Veigar's words sounded like the devil's low hum from hell, pouring into Reynolds' ears: "The empire is no longer the empire it once was. Those famous generals with great military exploits have lost their sense of war in the peaceful era. In my opinion, your Excellency has worked hard to establish the strength of the first vassal state of the Principality of Baya in 30 years. You are a true famous general of the time!"

"Sir, please stop joking..." Reynolds was a little terrified.

"Why do you have to be so modest, Your Majesty?"

Vega suddenly spread out the world map on the table. "The Empire is complacent and has no ambition to make progress. Instead, it is still as greedy as ever. It wants to start wars on multiple fronts with its meager strength and swallow up the world. Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the fact that the Empire is unable to take care of both ends and take down the 18 vassal states. Then, combine the strength of the 18 states and fight against the Empire? Even..."

Wow!

A gust of wind ruffled the entire ice and snow lake.

Reynolds Baya opened his mouth, but found that his throat had become so dry that he couldn't utter a word.
