Mage Veigar

Chapter 599 Legitimate Regime
Everything was as Okasos expected.

The reason why Vega changed his mind was because the envoy of the Empire made an offer that he absolutely could not refuse.

This condition is -

The empire recognized the legitimacy of the northern regime.

need to know.

Although the northern part of the empire is under the control of Vega, the northern regime has always been an illegal organization and is absolutely not recognized internationally. The countries on the continent have always regarded the north as the territory of the empire.

There is a difference between an illegal organization and a legitimate sovereign state.

Being an illegal organization means that you cannot form an alliance with any country, and even international trade is subject to many restrictions. Any international activities you engage in are absolutely illegal, and you will probably get hurt no matter where you go.

even……

You don't even have the qualifications to legally defend your territory, and you have no international status at all.

But things were different once the empire recognized the legitimacy of the northern regime.

This means that the North has split off and become an independent sovereign state. Under this premise, the Northern regime will have a legitimate international seat and be regarded as a real country rather than an illegal terrorist organization.

Veigar needs a legal identity.

Only a legitimate identity can unite the people and the military and make the people feel a sense of belonging. Otherwise, the civilians and the military under the rule of the North will only feel that they are rootless, which is fatal to a regime.

Therefore, Vega could not refuse this offer.

He didn't even think that the empire would recognize the legitimacy of the northern regime. Generally speaking, even if it meant the destruction of the country, it would never agree to such humiliating terms.

But the Empire did it anyway.

Vega probably guessed that the Empire wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Because the northeastern part, mainly Kalenyi City, borders the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and the northwest part, only Harsh City, borders the Holy Dragon Kingdom. If Vega gets the north, it will be equivalent to resisting the Holy Dragon Kingdom on behalf of the Empire. Now the Empire is afraid of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Instead of taking back the north and facing the Holy Dragon Kingdom directly, it is better to let it be independent as a barrier to block the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

in short.

The Empire wants Vega and the Holy Dragon Kingdom to fight to the death. Whether Vega destroys the Holy Dragon Kingdom or the Holy Dragon Kingdom kills Vega, the Empire is happy to accept the outcome. In any case, the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Dynasty will definitely not be able to coexist in peace.

If the North gets a legitimate seat.

This means that the borders of the northern regime represented by Vega, the Holy Dynasty and the Holy Dragon Kingdom are almost 85% adjacent. This is the best news for the empire, which has lost its morale due to the defeat by the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

They even changed their plans to attack the north the following spring.

Now the empire has decided that if it can weather the storm, it will never resort to military action against the north until the Holy Dragon Kingdom is destroyed.

Even though he knew this was a borrowed knife, Vega still agreed to the deal.

Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the Holy Dragon Nation had not forced the Empire into a desperate situation, the Empire would never have proposed such a condition with its pride. After all, dividing their own territory and acknowledging Vega as the legitimate king is no different from recognizing a thief as their father.

"Please rest assured, your country."

Vega smiled and said goodbye to the messenger: "Within five days, our country will immediately march to the northwest. Please issue a notice to the world, stating that our cross-border trade is a legal transaction, and please also disclose the content of the transaction."

"I understand."

The empire's envoy bid farewell to Vega. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a deep humiliation hidden on his face.

Not only did he have to recognize the independence of the North, but he also had to announce it to the world in person. The dignity and glory of the empire since its founding were completely thrown away at this moment. If he was a pure patriot, he would probably have committed suicide out of unwillingness to accept the humiliation.

Day three.

The Empire issued a notice to the world, recognizing the legitimacy of the northern regime and requesting assistance from the Holy Dynasty.

At the same time as the Empire issued the announcement.

Vega also officially announced to the world on behalf of the Holy Dynasty that it had torn up the alliance with the Free Alliance and the Principality of Baya, and would no longer take any military action against the Empire. At the same time, it was preparing to send 500,000 troops to assist the Empire under the banner of fighting for the Galan tribes and fight against the 500,000 troops of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Following Vega's announcement.

The Free Alliance announced the termination of its alliance with its last ally, the Principality of Baya, and the Four-Nation Alliance officially collapsed.

This series of major actions plunged the entire continent into chaos.

No one could have imagined that the empire would ask for assistance from a hostile country, and no one could have imagined that the empire would recognize the legitimacy of the northern regime. This would be like kneeling in front of the dynasty, begging for mercy, and living in shame.

What about the glory of the first great country?
What about the dignity of the first great power?
The crazy statement that put the dynasty alone in the first place seemed to be fully proven at this moment.

That seemingly weak dynasty had actually reached a height that they could not reach. Finally, this action of the empire tore off the last fig leaf of self-deception of the Western countries.

Holy Dynasty

Already risen!

No, it's not like that.

The continental countries suddenly realized that perhaps it was not the dynasty that was rising, but the little kid who had not yet reached adulthood.

The ruler behind the Holy Dynasty, the king of the northern regime, Vega Saint Laurent.

Even the Nuolan Empire, known as the largest country on the continent, had to make way for his rise. Although this seems extremely crazy, it is an indisputable fact.

The old emperor fell and the new emperor ascended the throne.

Perhaps the future of the Jialan Continent will no longer be centered on the Empire, but on the Dynasty... No, it should be said that it will be centered on Vega. Some countries that are allied with the Empire or hostile to the Empire are already gearing up. As long as Vega can defeat the Holy Dragon Nation again, they will offer their friendship to Vega.

In order to win Vega's favor, some countries even issued notices recognizing the international status of the Northern regime and Vega's legal identity when the Empire recognized the Northern regime's legal status, including the Free Alliance.

Next.

This is what all the countries are waiting for the most -

A battle between the Holy Dynasty and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Especially since Vega only sent out 500,000 troops, while the Dragon Legion also had 500,000 troops. However, the 500,000 troops of the Dragon Legion were equivalent to 2 million in the eyes of the countries on the mainland, so the gap between the two sides was not small.

Given such a huge gap.

Can Vega defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom?
Although some rulers of certain countries analyzed from a rational perspective that Vega had no chance of winning, others believed that Vega was a symbol of miracles and that the Holy Dynasty would surely win...

And it was a crushing victory!
