Mage Veigar

Chapter 573 Northern Planning
Under Vega's coercion.

Foster recognized the regime of the Northern Government of the Empire and pledged allegiance to the Northern Government headed by Vega. He also served as the commander-in-chief of the city of Rops, responsible for defending the northern territories except the city of Kareni.

There is no alternative.

If someone else had threatened Foster, he would definitely not have been loyal, because no one would really dare to joke with the lives of tens of millions of people, let alone carry out a massacre of tens of millions of people.

Once he does this, it means he becomes public enemy.

But Vega is different.

First of all, he is about to be attacked by a mysterious force. Under the premise that the dynasty may be overthrown, there is nothing that Vega cannot do. Some people do want to take someone else with them when they die, not to mention that Vega once killed 700,000 soldiers without blinking an eye. If he dares to kill 700,000, it means he dares to kill millions or even tens of millions!
So Foster dared not disbelieve Vega's words.

If his betrayal of the Imperial government could save the lives of tens of millions, Foster would do it without hesitation.

of course.

It is impossible for Foster to work hard for Vega. He will only defend the north as required. It is impossible to expect him to devote himself to Vega's cause until his death. In the process, once he finds an opportunity, he will immediately turn against you.

Generally speaking.

No one dared to use an officer who threatened others.

After all, a forced melon is not sweet. Isn't it playing with fire to entrust such an officer with an important task?
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Once Foster finds the opportunity, he will be the first to take Vega's life.

Taking history as a mirror, Vega still remembers that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because his mother was controlled by Cao Cao, Xu Shu had to go to Xudu, but he never offered a strategy to Cao Cao in his life. Knowing this, why did Vega dare to do this?

Vega had certainly thought it over carefully.

He really didn't trust Foster, and he absolutely couldn't hand over the military power of the entire North to him. This was no different from returning the North to the Empire. So when Vega threatened Foster, he had already thought of a backup plan -

Celis Rodney and Holt Machete.

As the head of the OECD, Qi Lisi had played games with the top brass of the empire countless times and had caught countless evidence against the senior generals. Qi Lisi was very familiar with monitoring senior officials and playing power games.

Make the best use of things, and people make the best use of their talents.

Qi Lisi was a native of the Empire and had once been a powerful figure in the Empire. Asking her to stay in the Dynasty to do intelligence work would be like throwing a pearl into the dark and using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Therefore, Vega thought it was most appropriate to place Silis in the north to lead the overall situation and let her play the role of a true "Queen" of the North. With Silis in charge of Kareni City, it was believed that Foster's secret actions would be difficult to be discovered by Silis.

The other person is Holt Machete.

He came from the judicial system and was a core member of the judicial system. He was mainly responsible for clearing out wanted criminals, so he was very familiar with a series of tasks including tracking, assassination, espionage, counterintelligence, etc.

Old Scimitar's organization has always been under the name of Qilis.

Now let's have two people, one in the light and one in the dark, are you still afraid that you can't control Foster?
Foster was, after all, just a general.

He is second to none in terms of marching and fighting, but in terms of unconventional tactics, he is probably more than 10% weaker than Celis and Old Scimitar.

This is why Vega dared to threaten Foster.

He didn't trust Foster, but he believed in Celis's loyalty. It was feasible to let Celis be a tight ring around Foster's head. After all, Celis was once known as the 'underground queen' of the empire.

Foster was dealt with. It was determined that the main decision maker of the northern regime was Silis.

The last thing Vega did before withdrawing his dynasty was to establish the city of Kareni as the capital of the northern government of the empire.

If the history of the empire was any guide, then making the capital in Lopus was the most correct choice, but his current situation was different from the one when the empire was on the verge of death.

The difference is that the Holy Dynasty is under the control of Veigar.

The city of Kareni is the closest to the dynasty and can be connected in a straight line to the City of Ice and Fire in the north of the dynasty. So from the map, the city of Kareni is stuck in the middle, making it very convenient for reinforcement or retreat.

The capital was established in Kareni to check and balance Foster.

In Vega's plan, Foster had 25 troops to guard the city of Lopus and the northern hinterland to defend against attacks from the empire, but only the city of Kareni was under the control of Celis. Vega handed over the command of the remaining 21 imperial troops to Celis, and the 15 defenders of the City of Ice and Fire could also support Kareni at any time.

This was also done to warn Foster.

If you fail to kill 210,000 soldiers and capture the city of Kareni within a dozen hours, and if you dare to defect, your hometown of Kareni will be reduced to hell overnight, and the tragedy of the dynasty's Bauhinia City will unfold.

The plan was made.

Vega gave orders to Foster, and then sent a letter to inform Old Scimitar and Celis.

Now, Veigar only needs to wait for Silis to arrive here, and then he can lead the dynasty army back to the Holy Dynasty and start fighting against the attack of the Asian dragons together with Okasos.

Therefore, Vega had some free time for the next few days.

According to the original plan, he actually didn't have the time to arrange everything in the north himself.

Fortunately, the United Kingdom is still strong, so Vega now has plenty of time to sort out all the affairs in the north. He can even wait until Silis is familiar with the operation of the northern government before returning to the dynasty.

According to the latest intelligence.

The kingdom only has the last city of Everlook left. They have nowhere to retreat, so they can only fight to the death with the dragon army. Now the death toll of soldiers has exceeded 300,000, and the number of dragon soldiers has fallen below 200,000, and is continuously decreasing.

Follow this trend.

The most likely scenario is that the kingdom will be destroyed and the remaining 200,000 Asian dragon troops will be wiped out.

Of course, no one thinks that the Asian dragon species will not have reinforcements, so no country wants to take advantage of the situation.

At this stage, everyone including the Empire is waiting and watching. Anyway, the Kingdom is there and cannot escape. If the sub-dragon race's strength is really limited to this, I am afraid that every country would not mind grinding these inhumane guys to ashes.

Besides.

The empire's million-strong army, which had originally planned to reinforce the city of Ropus, changed direction.

They believed that Vega had captured the city of Ropus and the situation in the north was set, and it was unrealistic to retake the north in a short time, so they planned to attack the Principality of Baya in the northwest in early winter, and then launch military action in the north in late spring and early summer.

After all, half a year doesn't matter.

Why not let Vega's so-called northern regime enjoy itself for a while longer?

Vega glanced over the battle reports and ignored them. Taking advantage of the free time that followed, he couldn't wait to take out a piece of mid-level shadow magic that he found in the prosperous city of Ropus.
