Chapter 525 The Empire in Action

United Kingdom, the city of redbuds.

The City of Bauhinia is the capital of the United Kingdom and is located in the south-central region of the country.

As the political and economic center of the United Kingdom, the City of Bauhinia welcomes several mysterious guests when the bauhinia flowers are in full bloom.

This group of guests came all the way from the empire, their purpose of course was to meet the King of the United Kingdom, but unfortunately the king refused to have any contact with them.

This is also a matter of course.

Because the United Kingdom is now a member of the Eastern Covenant, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this group of guests are envoys of the Imperial military. Before the signing of the alliance, Vega did not dare to accept gifts from the Empire, for fear of causing misunderstandings from other countries.

Now the covenant has been made.

If the United Kingdom officials were to receive the Imperial envoy at this time, it would very likely be misunderstood by other countries as a betrayal of the alliance, causing dissatisfaction from Vega, the Principality of Baya, and even the Free Alliance.

After all, there is no wall that is completely airtight.

In the City of Bauhinia, there might be spies from various countries, big and small, watching their every move around the clock.

Therefore, for whatever reason, the King of the United Kingdom did not dare to receive the envoy.

Inside the hotel.

A colonel staff officer looked at the person in charge of this group with some concern. Major General Ben Gleeson said, "General, the United Kingdom is arrogant and has rejected our request for a meeting. What should we do next? There are already several unknown forces that seem to be eyeing us. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to return the way we came."

"Don't be impatient."

Ben Grissom laughed and said confidently, "The Kingdom knows a little about our destination. They are in urgent need of lifting the siege of Dragon City, and we are in urgent need of our main force to defend it. It can be said that this is a good thing for both sides to get what they need. The Kingdom cannot refuse such a good thing."

"But will the Kingdom betray its allies?"

"Trust my judgment."

Ben Gleeson continued, "The Allied Nations are not an ironclad entity. While the Kingdom is achieving its goals, it can also allow our troops to return to the country to fight against the attacks of the Dynasty and the Free Alliance and weaken their strength. These are things that the Kingdom is happy to see."

"I understand, General."

Seeing that the major general was determined to stay here, the colonel stopped talking and just ordered the guards to step up their vigilance.

As it turned out, Major General Ben Grisham's judgment was absolutely correct.

On the next day, a five-star general from the United Kingdom secretly came to the hotel rented by the imperial envoy in a private capacity.

This is indeed a trick by the United Kingdom to cover up its true intentions.

Even if the Allied Powers really discovered it, the King could say that the United Kingdom officials had never contacted the Imperial envoys, and that everything was done on the five-star admiral's own initiative. If necessary, he could even kill the "five-star admiral" to give an explanation to the other countries. Of course, it is unknown whether the dead five-star admiral is the real one.

"Isn't this General Ben Grisham?"

As soon as the admiral of the kingdom entered the room, he said sarcastically, "How come you have time to come to the capital of my United Kingdom as a guest? Everyone in my United Kingdom has the habit of entertaining guests. Since you are here, why don't you stay for a few more days before leaving?"

"I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot delay due to official duties."

Brigadier General Ben Grissom of the Empire said calmly, "I won't say any more nonsense. This time I came to make a win-win deal with your country. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Ahem..." Admiral Wang Guo coughed twice. "I don't represent the Kingdom officials this time, and the final agreement has nothing to do with the Kingdom officials. Under this premise, do you still dare to make this deal with me?"

"Hahaha, I believe in your character."

Ben Grissom laughed loudly. Although he didn't know the name of the general in front of him, he knew that this was just an excuse for the kingdom to be a whore and then pretend to be a virgin. The man in front of him who said that he did not represent the official of the kingdom must be the king's spokesperson.

The negotiation started quickly and ended even faster.

The empire had feelings and the kingdom was interested, so the negotiations did not take long before an agreement was reached.

The content of the agreement is that the 80 main forces of the empire will unconditionally return to the Dragon City, and at the same time withdraw back to the country via the city of Gasil. During the withdrawal of the empire, the kingdom is not allowed to send troops to obstruct it.

The Kingdom Admiral readily reached a consensus with the Empire on this point.

Their king even began to think about what excuse he could use to appease Vega and other allied countries. Although this matter might not be able to be appeased, at least he could not openly tear his face apart.

That's right.

The United Kingdom had long forgotten Vega's advice. It was hard to find a good thing that could both resolve the domestic crisis and weaken other countries. How could the kingdom refuse such a temptation?

of course.

They will not go against the obligations that their allies should fulfill. The withdrawal agreement reached with the Empire this time is actually the think tank's attempt to adopt a strategy of defending the country from foreign aggression and maintaining domestic stability. In their minds, only after forcing the Imperial Army to leave can they concentrate on uniting with other countries to strike the strongest and most powerful fist and restore the confidence of the people with victory in the war.

Dynasty, Saint Laurent City.

Vega didn't know that the kingdom would sell him out right after he warned it.

Now he was chatting with two 'fairy' slave girls.

The 'Fairy Race' is a lower tribe in the Free Alliance. They are famous in the western countries for their beautiful looks. At the same time, because their numbers are rare and they are all female, they are generally regarded as the best concubines by the nobles.

The reason why she can only be treated as a concubine is because every offspring born of the fairy species is female, and their race is also fairy, so they cannot inherit male blood at all.

In addition, they have almost no fighting ability, so their status is relatively low.

After learning this, Vega continued to ask: "What large forces are there to the west of the Jialan Mountains?"

The younger fairy girl Hesterly said, "Your Excellency, the largest power west of the Jialan Mountains is the Free Alliance, to which we once served. In addition, there are 19 other powers, including the Grand Duchy of Degras, the Federal Democratic Republic of Jiaweisi, and the City of Saint Di. Their national strengths are almost the same, and 8 of them have established diplomatic relations with the Free Alliance."

"19 major powers?"

Vega took a breath.

Due to the natural barrier of the Jialan Mountains that separated the east and the west, and the language barrier, the entire east had no idea what was happening in the west. Even Vega only knew that there was a Free Alliance in the west that the empire feared, and the rest of the information was almost zero. It was as if this information was covered by an invisible hand, and Vega could not get any information when he was in the empire.

Therefore, when Vega heard the news, he was really shocked.

Moreover, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. The originally clear battle situation seemed to become more and more confusing.
