Mage Veigar

Chapter 595: Retreat
The empire was defeated.

Upon hearing this war report, 90 percent of the countries on the mainland would not believe it.

Because no one dared to believe that the empire, which had assembled seven million troops, established twenty-seven new air corps, and was just about to announce its return to the continent, was actually taught a lesson by the Holy Dragon Kingdom and was completely powerless to fight back.

Why exactly?
No think tank in any country would believe that the Empire was defeated, not even Vega.

But the facts were before him and he had no choice but to believe it.

Is it because the empire is too weak?
The answer is absolutely no.

With the empire's current combat capability, there is absolutely no problem for one to defeat ten countries. Even without verifying this, all the countries know it well. The current empire is an empire that has launched a powerful move.

In view of this.

At this moment, countries on the continent began to reflect on a very important issue.

perhaps--

The empire is actually very strong, but the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is even stronger, so strong that it is despairing.

If the Holy Dragon Kingdom is included and the sequence is divided using a pyramid structure.

If we calculate based on the current war situation, the strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom can be classified into a separate sequence, while the Empire and the Free Alliance can be classified into the next sequence, because the Empire's tragic defeat is an indisputable fact.

Now that we have considered the strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Empire, and the Free Alliance.

Then another name cannot be avoided no matter what -

Holy Dynasty.

Does this Holy Dynasty, which was able to destroy the Holy Dragon Kingdom's Black Dragon Legion within twenty-seven hours and completely crush the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army, mean that it can also be listed in a separate sequence and ranked above the Holy Dragon Kingdom?

After calculation, it is obvious.

The Empire and the Alliance are smaller than the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which in turn is smaller than the Holy Dynasty.

In other words, the Holy Dynasty is actually powerful to a degree that is completely unimaginable with their wisdom. This can explain why the Holy Dragon Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Dynasty, but could easily defeat the Empire, which had returned as the king.

"Nonsense!"

Both the Freedom Alliance and other Western countries have a negative attitude towards this crazy statement.

Most people believed that a single defeat did not prove anything, and that the Empire would surely recover and defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom's 500,000 flying dragon army. If the Dynasty wanted to prove its own strength, it would certainly not be able to rank above the Empire and the Alliance by winning a war against the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

This is a view that is shared by all countries.

If someone jumped out to deny this view at this time, they would inevitably be condemned by all countries, because ranking the Holy Dynasty at the highest level would mean that they could only look up to the Holy Dynasty.

It’s like we agreed to be insignificant people together, but before we knew it you had secretly stepped forward and stood on top of the continent?

Probably no one is willing to admit this kind of thing.

However, some people within the Free Alliance have already agreed with this view. Among them, Admiral Swinburne Raphael, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front who is over 1000 years old, believes that the dynasty has become so powerful that they are deterred.

"Your Majesty, I believe it is time to dissolve the alliance."

Swinburne Lafite returned to the capital temporarily because of the dragon species incident, and made suggestions to the king: "Throughout the ages, the weak have united to attack the strong, and the strong have united to destroy the weak. Now I think that although the Holy Dynasty is far behind the Empire and even the other major countries on the continent in terms of economy and industry, its military strength is much higher than ours. If the Dynasty continues to grow, it will be disadvantageous to us." "Nonsense."

A silver fox lieutenant general stood up and denied it, "Although the dynasty has a history of ten thousand years, it is just a small border country in terms of its current comprehensive national strength. It occasionally defeated the Empire before it revealed its trump card, and the sub-dragon species that appeared out of nowhere. It would be an exaggeration to put them in a higher position than the Empire and us."

"You are as short-sighted as your ancestors."

Swinburne Lafite looked disdainfully at the silver fox known as the 'wise general': "The dynasty does not need to look at the overall national strength. Don't you understand why they are truly qualified to be superior to all the countries on the continent? The combination of the continent's top general and the continent's top master is the reason why the dynasty is superior to us."

"Just one person's strength?"

“It’s the power of one person!”

Swinburne Laffey's eyes flashed with fear: "Shield in the left hand, spear in the right hand, even if the Holy Dragon Kingdom of the United Kingdom was destroyed within three months, it was defeated in twenty-seven hours. The power of these two people is simply beyond your imagination."

"Quiet!"

The King of the Free Alliance, the Angry Lion, spoke up: "It is too early to draw conclusions now. I think we should first see how the war situation in the Empire develops. If the Empire can turn the tide, we will continue to maintain the alliance. If the Empire loses, we will temporarily withdraw our troops and withdraw from the chaotic Eastern battlefield. We will make another decision when the situation becomes clearer."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The Liberty League issued an order to stay put.

They were completely confused about the war situation in the east. Whether it was the Holy Dynasty, the Empire, or the new Holy Dragon Kingdom, every battle they fought was a monster. This made them feel that the east of the Jialan Continent was a dead end. If they made a wrong move, they would be dragged down.

The Free Alliance stopped all wars and entered a period of observation.

The countries on the continent, like the Free Alliance, were unable to see the current situation clearly. The Holy Dragon Kingdom was like a shit stirrer, turning the originally clear situation on the continent into chaos. So they could only follow the example of the Free Alliance and stop all external actions.

The world focuses on the Empire.

The continent, including Vega, fell into a strange period of peace. They were looking forward to the next war between the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

The following war will also directly prove whether the Holy Dynasty defeated the Holy Dragon Kingdom by luck, or whether its strength is really so strong that they cannot understand it.

Now, the pressure is on the Empire.

It was everyone's expectation that the empire would turn the tide and strike back to destroy the 50-strong dragon army.

Unfortunately, this is not a myth or legend after all. There are not so many miracles in the world. There is more cold reality. In the end, the empire failed to stand up like a hero on behalf of humans and the countries on the continent to tell the Holy Dragon Kingdom that those who have offended the myriad races of Galan must pay with blood.

The result of this war is.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom regained the confidence it had lost on the dynasty front, and advanced rapidly, becoming more and more courageous as the battle went on.

In contrast, the empire had lost the morale of the king's return and was defeated, having lost most of the northwest. Fortunately, the Principality of Baya did not stab it in the back at this time, otherwise the empire would have lost the northwest headed by the city of Harsh after losing the northeast headed by Kalini.

even so.

The situation in the northwest of the empire was also precarious.

If the war situation continues to develop in this way, the entire northwest will fall within a month.
