Mage Veigar

Chapter 531 The war is coming
May 381th, 5 in the Galan calendar.

Today is the fifth day before the war. After the court meeting, Okasos led a temporarily formed army and marched towards the west coast of the dynasty.

He needed to enter the territory of the empire and attack the city of Erkia in three days.

As for the excuse for this war, Vega had found it for him long ago. After all, the Empire had promised to cede the city of Erkia to the Dynasty, but unfortunately, no action has been taken so far. This was an impeccable excuse for war.

After confirming that Okasos and Carol had left the east coast with their troops, Vega held a swearing-in ceremony the day before the war began, announcing that they would march north to the City of Ice and Fire, and then attack the city of Kalini via the national highway.

But here’s what needs to be known.

Even at this moment when the war was about to break out, Vega still couldn't think of any way to defeat the enemy. The nearly twenty days of seclusion were of no use at all, and Vega even couldn't say a word to Xia during these twenty days.

of course.

If the polite remarks at court meetings are counted, then there were probably two or three conversations.

He couldn't even take care of Xia, let alone Silis Rodney, who was sent by him to take care of the intelligence and trial organizations. Now Vega didn't even know how far her work had progressed, and he had to immediately fight a war with an uncertain future.

After the oath-taking ceremony.

Vega glanced in Shia's direction.

But to Vega's regret, the king's position was already vacant.

Vega finally sighed, and then led his soldiers towards the north gate of Saint Laurent City. The group was huge, with colorful flags flying on both sides of the street and the cheers of civilians were endless.

See this scene.

Vega was somewhat glad that he did not cancel the war, otherwise what he would be left with now would not be applause, but scolding.

Da da da--

The powerful sound of military boots echoed, followed closely by a formation of war airships that covered the sky. They were generally responsible for reconnaissance, early warning, and cover during the march, so they had to go one step ahead.

creak-

The city gates are wide open.

This formation of more than 50 people slowly left the city of Saint Laurent like a long dragon and marched slowly towards the north.

On top of the city tower.

Shia, who had disappeared earlier, was standing here, staring at Vega's departure, and standing beside her was Silis.

This was not the first time that she and Silis had stood in the same place, secretly watching Vega go away. Although she felt extremely reluctant and even wanted to follow Vega to the battlefield, that was ultimately just a delusion.

Because Shia knew that Vega would never take her with him.

To put it more bluntly, she is just a vase and bringing her along would only be a burden.

Of course Xia understood this. Last time, she even deceived herself and comforted herself that the reason why Vega didn't take her was just because she didn't take the initiative to ask. If she took the initiative to ask, Vega would definitely not refuse.

But this time, Xia no longer wanted to deceive herself.

Because those who want to take you with them to have fun will invite them even without your request, but if they don't want to take you with them, it will be useless even if you kneel down and beg them.

Shia understood this.

But this does not mean that she began to be dissatisfied with Vega. In fact, she attributed all the faults to herself, thinking that it was because of her lack of ability that she could not stay with Vega, and also caused Vega to worry about her safety.

This was the first time in her life that Shia felt unwilling to accept this. She wanted to change something, to change the status quo urgently, so that at least when the next war came, she would not have the courage to say goodbye to Vega, and could only hide in a corner and watch Vega go away.

“Your Majesty, Vega… His Royal Highness has already gone far away. Let’s go back.”

Celis persuaded Xia. Although she was quite jealous of everything Xia had, she instinctively couldn't hate Xia, a girl as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Furthermore, Shia is of great use to Vega.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Celis Rodney to believe that she must build a good relationship with Xia and protect this crucial chess piece for Vega. This is her task and her mission.

"Ms. Celis."

Shia did not move, but said with doubt in her eyes: "How can I ask Vega to go on the expedition with me without being rejected? I hope that next time, I can make a request to Vega with confidence."

"This matter is both simple and difficult."

Qi Lisi patiently answered this question, which seemed extremely simple to her: "As long as you are useful to His Royal Highness and can turn the tide of the war, I believe it will be difficult for His Royal Highness to refuse your request."

“How can this be achieved?”

Qi Lisi stared at him with innocent eyes, anxiously waiting for Qi Lisi's answer.

Silis smiled and didn't take it seriously. She probably just thought it was a child asking an adult a million questions, so she answered casually: "It is quite difficult to change the situation of the war with one person, but it is not impossible. If you break it down, there are probably two ways."

"Excuse me, Miss Celis, which two types are they?" Xia's eyes sparkled.

Qi Lisi thought for a moment, then replied casually: "The first method is of course to be like His Royal Highness, who has the ability to turn decay into magic. For a commander of this level, turning the tide of a battle is just a piece of cake."

Hearing this, Xia's eyes dimmed.

Even though she was ignorant of worldly affairs, she understood how difficult it was to become a commanding genius recognized by the world. And to become someone like Vega, who could make even the empire tremble with just a stomp of his foot, not to mention that she would never be able to do it in her lifetime, there were only a handful of people in the world who could do it.

With a fluke mentality, Xia Ya continued to ask: "What about the second method?"

Qi Lisi was stunned by the question.

She really didn't expect that Xia hadn't given up her previous plan and would continue to ask questions, so Qi Lisi answered seriously: "Another way is of course to become a star-level strongman like the Minister of Defense Okasos Saint Laurent. Although he doesn't have extraordinary command ability, he himself is equivalent to a strategic-level weapon."

this war.

Even if Okasos didn't say anything, Vega would take the initiative to ask him to attack the empire's eastern front. This is because Okasos is already powerful enough to turn the tide of the war alone.

It is also one in a million.

Whether it is Vega's command ability or Okasos's individual strength, they are unique in the Galan Continent. These two goals are really unattainable for a canary raised in the deep palace.

And in the final analysis.

Shia hasn't even awakened her magic power.

But to become a magician, one must not only awaken magic power, but also awaken spiritual power.

Therefore, in Silis's opinion, when Xia heard these two answers, she would probably show a frustrated expression.

But just when she was about to comfort Xia, Silis found that there was no frustration in Xia's eyes. The only thing she could see was——

Unwavering!
