Mage Veigar

Chapter 506 Backhand
The empire's war mobilization began.

Whether it is a large city or a small city, whether it is a street or an alley, wherever there are civilians of the empire, the empire's ideological work covers all aspects. This is to stabilize the domestic situation before the war, so as to avoid turmoil when the war comes.

But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.

Because as the news that the empire was under attack from many sides spread, people from top to bottom of the empire were in panic.

After all, the empire was surrounded by enemies on all sides this time, and the civilians did not have much confidence in the army and the government. They were full of anxiety and hesitation about the future. In particular, Old Scimitar occasionally carried out a few terrorist attacks to add fuel to the impending war, which made the empire's war mobilization even less convincing.

Fortunately, this situation only occurs among the people.

The middle and high-level officials of the three powers have already received the empire's decision. After being fully brainwashed, they did not show the same anxiety and hesitation as the civilians. Instead, they withstood the tremendous pressure and vowed to win the war.

Every official understands this very well.

Their rights were given by the empire, which granted them glory and status. Now the empire is facing a catastrophe. As an official member of the empire, they must fight to the death, both for the glory of the empire and for their own interests.

Here we have to mention the soldiers of the empire.

Among the three powers, the brainwashing of the military is the most thorough. Now the soldiers have burst out with unprecedented morale and vowed to keep the invaders out of the country.

Although the empire cannot compare with the dynasty and kingdom in terms of consolidating public opinion.

However, the cohesion of the soldiers is unmatched in the entire continent. In the face of such a disaster, the soldiers of the empire can burst out with amazing morale. It is precisely because of this that the empire has been able to survive many desperate situations throughout its history.

Now, in the entire empire, there are two places where morale is the highest.

The first place is the city of Erkia in the east of the empire. The Imperial Central Army has already entered Erkia. The Central Army represents the strongest combat power of the Imperial Army. This army has an amazing sense of honor and mission.

Before the commander gave the order to retreat.

This army is willing to fight to the last man and die for the glory of the empire.

The other is the imperial city of Kareni.

The predecessor of the rebuilt 17th Army was the Third Army of the Empire. They had experienced the despair of the fall of Kareni and the joy of regaining the north. This army was an elite force that had truly experienced the baptism of war.

more importantly.

No one in this army would underestimate Vega.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the city of Kareni is the place where the public sentiment in the empire is the most unstable.

Perhaps due to the last fall, the civilians here instinctively do not believe that the Empire's army can protect their safety, and even less believe that the Empire's officers can defeat Vega.

Especially the 120 million people who participated in the Vega guerrilla army.

These 120 million people still regard themselves as guerrilla soldiers and are very united. They regard Vega as the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla army. Even though the Empire later announced that Vega had committed treason, this did not hinder their worship of Vega.

without any exaggeration.

As long as Vega takes over the city of Kareni, he can make up an excuse that he was forced to commit treason due to persecution by the imperial high-ranking officials, and assure the civilians that he has not betrayed the empire, but is only using the power of the dynasty to clean up the corrupt officials in the empire. It will be easy to regain the trust of these 1.2 million people.

Many times, civilians are blind.

As their former belief, every word Veigar said could naturally gain the support of the majority of people.

This support is definitely better than the support of the subjects of the dynasty. However, Vega did not intend to fight a decisive battle with the Empire this time, because he believed that the time for a full-scale war with the Empire had not yet come. Whether it was the 17th Army in Kareni City or the Central Army currently stationed in the eastern city of Erkia, they were completely beyond the power of the Holy Dynasty at this time.

Say something ugly.

If it weren't for Vega's notorious reputation, which prevented the imperial high-ranking officials from acting rashly, the imperial army would have been able to wipe out the entire dynasty's army, including the West Coast Army, in a single blow, leaving nothing behind.

This is not meant to belittle the quality of the dynasty's army.

But whether you believe it or not, the fact is that Vega was able to intimidate the army of an entire country with his own name.

The Holy Dynasty was unaware of this, and it was impossible for them to believe such nonsense. After all, no one was willing to deny their own abilities, which could be described as "the darkest place is under the lamp". However, other countries, including the Empire, knew this clearly. Only the dynasty that Vega was loyal to was the terrifying Holy Dynasty.

Therefore, one knows one’s own suffering.

Vega knew that he could barely protect the dynasty, but he was not sure at all that he could easily destroy the empire's foundation with this group of small fry.

Although the Empire is terrified...

But Vega still has some self-awareness.

So the question is back to square one -

Judging from the current situation, his series of intimidation seems to be of no use to the empire. Instead, it makes the entire empire united and launches the final decisive battle that he least wants to face in advance. What should he do?

Before discussing this issue, we first need to have a major premise:

That means Vega's strategy has indeed failed.

So did Vega really make a mistake this time?
of course not!

How can there be any failure in a strategy that has not yet been fully implemented?

That’s right, this series of layouts is not the whole of this strategy, and strictly speaking, it is just a prelude.

Because Vega believes that the Empire is very likely to see through him as just a paper tiger. Not only will they not compromise with him, but they will be aroused and directly launch the final battle between the Dynasty and the Empire.

So up to this point, this is all really just layout.

What Vega really wants to rely on is not the power of the Kingdom and the Principality of Baya. The power of these two countries is not enough at the moment, and it is difficult to really scare the Empire.

At this point, Vega's purpose has become very clear.

Now, the only thing that can really scare the Empire, besides himself, is the one who may join the battle at any time——

Oracle Freedom Alliance!

The Empire has always regarded the Free Alliance as its biggest enemy, and it attaches more importance to the Free Alliance than to Vega. Especially now that all the vassal states are no longer able to provide the Empire with blocking missions, the Empire is even more worried about the threat from the other side of the Galan Mountains.

So how did Vega mobilize the Freedom Alliance?
It should be noted that up to now, Vega has not had any contact with the Free Alliance, and even if there is an opportunity to make contact, Vega does not know how to greet that group of non-humans.

maybe……

He had to find a translator before he could say hello.
