Mage Veigar

Chapter 556 From the Inside Out
When you look straight ahead.

It means you ignore the danger behind it.

The attention of the city of Ropes was completely attracted by Vega. Foster's eyes were closely guarded against the north of the empire. He was even willing to destroy all connections with the north to save the city of Ropes. There was nothing wrong with this in itself.

In view of this.

The city of Ropus seemed to be a real city that would never fall, because if you didn't touch it, you wouldn't cause any harm.

But this is indeed nothing more than a falsehood that deceives oneself and others.

This is like unplugging the computer's network cable to prevent hackers from stealing data, and arrogantly thinking that even the best hackers in the world can't do anything without the right tools.

But in fact, it's not.

The person involved probably overlooked a sentence:

The most secure fortress is most easily breached from within.

When he thinks he has taken what he considers to be the best defensive measure, he will often let his guard down and no longer consider that the enemy may use other unconventional means to achieve their goals. His self-deceptive behavior will instead help the enemy achieve their goals more easily.

At this time, there is no need to spend a lot of money to hire top hackers.

You may just need to bribe a food delivery man, a courier, a cleaner, or hire a thief to move the machine out... If you are willing to spend a lot of money, directly bribing the core members of the company is another foolproof method.

This is due to human nature.

Looking forward, one will inevitably ignore the danger behind. The stronger the defense of Ropus City to the north, the weaker its vigilance against the interior of the empire. This is a simple truth.

Vega thought about this.

So he thought, if Old Scimitar took his men from the Immortal City to Ropes City on an Imperial civilian flight, would Ropes City discover his whereabouts?
If you put it in normal times.

Foster might even spend a lot of effort on aviation security, and as a wanted criminal, there is a possibility that Old Scimitar will be exposed. However, while being fully on guard against Vega, Foster probably won't have more energy to pay attention to these trivial matters. Vega ahead is already enough of a headache for him.

In other words, the old machete is perfectly safe.

Under this premise, if Old Scimitar finds a way to destroy the military airport in Lopes City and attract the attention of the enemy's air force, then Vega can use air transport to airdrop soldiers to the vicinity of Lopes City and achieve his goal.

It's still a bit risky though.

If Old Scimitar fails to destroy the military airport and attract the enemy's attention, once the enemy's war airship successfully takes off, Vega may face the danger of annihilation of his entire army.

And the security of the military airport is self-evident.

Since the aviation force is the place with the most advanced forces and the highest level, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to destroy an airport.

But Vega was still ready to take a gamble.

If he wins the bet and captures Ropus, his position as the King of the North will be secure. Even if the Empire reveals its cards, it will definitely leave this toughest bone to chew for last, and will not cause trouble for him right from the start.

Easy first and then difficult.

In war, the weak are always picked first.

It doesn't matter if you lose the bet.

Vega was not going to airlift the Dynasty Army. If one or two airships were shot down by the Empire in the air, it would be too late to cry. He was going to airlift the more than 300,000 surrendered troops of the Empire. Once the North was taken back by the Empire, these people could not be brought back to the Dynasty anyway, so it was better to take a risk at this time. In this way, even if he failed, he would at most lose an air force and Old Scimitar, a chess piece buried inside the Empire.

If you win, you will make a lot of money; if you lose, it will be nothing.

Such a good thing, how could Vega not give it a try?

As soon as he thought of it, he had to do it. As a man of action, Vega immediately wrote a letter to Holt Scimitar, who was far away in the imperial capital, asking him not to compete with the empire's trial system for the time being, but to turn to Rops City to destroy the enemy's airport and attract the enemy's attention.

of course.

Vega also understood that it was impossible to let the horse run without giving it grass to eat, so he took out an astronomical sum of 10 million universal gold coins and gave it to Holt Scimitar as start-up capital. At the same time, he promised Old Scimitar that after the empire was destroyed, he would help him establish an independent country with sovereignty, and the dynasty would provide him with shelter free of charge.

Short-term interests plus empty promises.

If you give Old Scimitar everything he wants, will he not do his best to complete the task?

Old Scimitar was overjoyed to receive the letter and funds.

It has always been his greatest wish to make the tribe rise and help his people live a better life. Now Vega has promised to help him establish an independent country after the fall of the empire, and the dynasty will provide free military protection without charging any taxes. How could he possibly refuse such a benefit?

"Ropes City!"

The old scimitar's cloudy eyes faded away, and he let out a roar like a wild beast seeing its prey.

He is the hunter, and now he has found new prey.

So three days later, the imperial capital's trial system suddenly became idle, because they found that their former mortal enemy seemed to have evacuated the Immortal City overnight, and their whereabouts were unknown.

all in all.

This is a good thing for the imperial capital's trial system. The nerves that have been tense for nearly a year can finally relax.

But this may not be a good thing for the city of Ropes.

When the civilian airship from the imperial capital landed at the Ropes transfer station, it meant that Old Scimitar's operation was about to begin.

The date he and Vega agreed to meet was September 10th.

That day can be considered the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is still a month of preparation time from now.

Old Scimitar must destroy the military air port of Ropes City that night to attract the attention of the Ropes City army and prevent the enemy's war airships from taking off.

at the same time.

Vega will order an air fleet carrying more than 30 Imperial Army soldiers to fly to the vicinity of Ropus City and set up camp. Since the opportunity is fleeting, they can only do it at the same time. By the time Old Scimitar completes the mission and sends a message, the enemy may have recovered.

Therefore, this strategy is very risky.

The key to success or failure can be said to rest on Old Scimitar alone. If Old Scimitar can destroy the enemy's air port and attract the attention of the enemy's air force, then great success will be achieved. If he fails, the entire army will be wiped out and there will be no chance to regret.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

Veigar believes in Old Scimitar's strength.

How could the man who had been able to battle wits and courage with the Imperial Inquisition System and survive until now easily fall in a place like Ropus?
