Mage Veigar

Chapter 546 Reaching an Agreement
Vega is here.

Although Vega had not yet been received and had not stated his intention, when the news reached the conference room, everyone understood Vega's intentions.

Take over.

The kingdom now occupies four ring-shaped city areas in Kaleniko, which are connected to four city gates. This means that the imperial army has been blocked in the city and it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the city.

The initiative of the war still lies in the hands of the kingdom.

Since they were unable to advance the front line and the secondary strategic cities in the central hinterland were taken by Vega, this initiative was useless to them.

If we were to describe the value of the initiative in the war in the hands of the kingdom, we could probably use the ticket to open a game copy of Hell difficulty to describe it.

The kingdom first spent a large sum of money to get a ticket to challenge the dungeon.

Later, the kingdom failed in its challenge of the hell-difficulty dungeon of Kareni, but the ticket that could be used multiple times was still in its hands and had not been sold. This time, Vega came just to buy this ticket.

So Vega and the king sat down at the negotiation table.

"I have met His Majesty."

Veigar and Nordrian exchanged pleasantries, then looked at the other party's office of senior officers and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sure you have guessed my intention for coming this time. Please name a price."

"Intentions? We don't know."

Nordrian pretended to be stupid, obviously wanting Vega to take the initiative to propose a price, and then they could bargain based on the price proposed by Vega and sell the ticket to challenge the Kareni copy at a good price.

"Do you really want me to say it?"

Vega was not to be outdone. He said bluntly, "Your Majesty may not know yet, but your army has taken over the four ring cities of Kareni, but it has not been able to deal with the imperial army for half a month. This has become a laughing stock on the continent. The longer this time drags on, the more negative comments you will receive. May I ask, Your Majesty, do you still intend to play dumb?"

"Is this true?"

Nordrian was frightened by Veigar's words.

For a country, honor and dignity are the most fundamental things to unite the people and stabilize society. Once honor and dignity are trampled upon, being labeled with shame and incompetence will directly affect morale and social stability.

After learning about this situation, Nordrian didn't dare to continue playing dumb. After all, the only country in the entire North that was able and willing to take over was Vega. If he scared Vega away, he wouldn't be able to find another person to take over.

The Principality of Baya?

Unfortunately, the offer is too big and the Principality of Baya may not have the courage to take it over.

The Liberty League should be happy to do so.

However, the battle line is too long, and there is only a 30% chance that the Free Alliance will come to take over, and the Free Alliance will definitely not be able to give too many benefits to the kingdom. After all, this offer can only add icing on the cake for them, but not provide timely help.

Therefore, the most suitable person is Vega.

After all, Kareni is one of the most important strategic points for Vega. It would be easy to sell it for a good price if Vega were to take it over. King Nordrian also knew this, so he asked for a high price, a 50-50 split.

"After the war, the benefits your country gains in the North must be split 50-50 with ours."

These were the original words from Nordrian. As long as Vega signed this treaty, it would mean that after the war, regardless of success or failure, any resources Vega obtained in the north would be split 50-50 with the kingdom.

No one dared to violate this kind of contract. Once the contract was violated, not only would the Kingdom cause trouble for Vega, but members of other allied countries would also not sit idly by.

"Your Majesty is so insincere."

Veigar stood up and made a move to leave: "I have no intention of mocking your country. Since your country is full of confidence in this war, I will wait for your victory report in the heart of the north."

"Your Highness, please be patient."

King Nordrian was not angry. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you think this deal is unfair, we can continue to talk. This 55-46 split is indeed a bit excessive, but the importance of Kareini is self-evident. I think it would be better to split 4-6? I'll split and you split ."

"At most, I will give your country 1%."

Vega rejected the idea directly, saying, “Your Majesty, you only took the initiative on the Kareni front. If you take control of Kareni, I can consider the 46- split. As for now…”

Vega looked at everyone with a half-smile.

King Nordrian also understood that Vega had done enough homework before coming and was not so easy to fool, so he sighed and said, "It's done. Our army will withdraw from Kareni City within three days. Please prepare for the handover by then."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Vega and Nordrian held hands together and signed the transfer agreement.

Therefore, Vega took over the four ring-shaped city areas of Kareni without any effort and gained the initiative in the Kareni War. Once the 400,000 imperial troops in the central area were annihilated, Vega would get Kareni, a crucial strategic point.

By then, the northern hinterland will be connected to Kareni and the Dynasty City of Ice and Fire. Vega can advance to seize Lopus or retreat to defend his own country, which means he will directly have a powerful supply support system and a large rear area.

Watching Vega leave.

King Nordrian finally sighed.

He hated his own incompetence for not taking control of Kareni directly.

Otherwise, even if the central hinterland was occupied by Vega and they could not advance the front line, they could directly trade the control of Kareni City with Vega for a 55- contract. Unlike now, they spent all their energy and only got a - contract.

But King Nordrian was not too depressed.

The Kareni front has indeed become useless to him. He just wants to get out of here as soon as possible. Besides, he doesn't think that Kareni is a delicious piece of cake. If their kingdom army can't take the city, can Vega definitely take it?

While getting benefits from the transaction, he also wanted to trick Veigar. This is why Nordrian stopped bargaining.

After all, no one knows better than him how tough a nut to crack is the city of Kareni. Only someone like Vega, who has not experienced it personally, would think that taking over the central area of ​​Kareni is a simple matter, right?
"Pass the order."

Nordrian turned around and gave an order: "All troops should be prepared to hand over to the Dynasty Army. We will abandon the northern front of the Empire, bypass the Kareni Mountains, and look for a breakthrough from the northwest of the Empire."

The Principality of Baya is now holding back the Imperial Army in the northwest.

Therefore, after discussing with his think tank, King Nordrian decided to abandon the northeastern direction of the empire, which was difficult to access, and make a comeback in the undeveloped northwest direction of the empire.

So three days later.

Vega dispatched 30 troops to the four ring-shaped cities of Kareni, officially taking over the mess left by the kingdom.
