Chapter 607 The First Great Power
Victory.

The empire finally won the war.

Under Vega's entanglement, the Imperial Army came from behind and killed 500,000 Holy Dragon soldiers less than 20 kilometers away from their base. In the end, no more than 20,000 Holy Dragon soldiers escaped.

A true annihilation!

After this war, the imperial army finally developed confidence.

It is foreseeable that the next time the Imperial Army encounters the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army, at least they will no longer be afraid and will be defeated immediately after the slightest contact.

There is a saying that goes, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."

As long as the Imperial Army can taste the sweetness, the Empire will finally follow its rhythm.

In the following days, the empire fell into carnival. The civilians celebrated the imperial army's victory over the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army. They were sincerely happy about the recovery of the northwest. This great victory also allowed the empire to restore some dignity in the eyes of the people.

Some people may wonder, isn’t the real protagonist of this war the dynasty army represented by Vega?
As in the phenomenon.

The Empire did not mention a word about the existence of the Dynasty Army. They certainly could not attribute the victory of this war to the Dynasty, as this would cause the Imperial government to lose the support of the people. So they announced to the outside world that the victory was won independently by the Imperial Army.

Vega said nothing about this.

Because the Empire controls the ability to guide public opinion in the country, all media of course serve the Empire's official purpose. Vega, a foreign officer, cannot influence public opinion in the Empire. Anyway, he has already got what he wanted, so he doesn't care about this matter.

Of course, even if Vega really cared about it, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Because even if they can control the media, civilians will deceive themselves into thinking that it is the unilateral credit of the Imperial Army. Civilians also need faith, and the army and government that can now protect their safety are their faith.

It is very difficult to destroy a person's faith.

Although the common people of the Empire were led by public opinion to unilaterally believe that all the credit was due to the Imperial Army, the class at the top of the pyramid did not think so. They knew very well that the Empire had requested assistance.

Therefore, the question of whether the Holy Dynasty is qualified to be ranked first was raised again.

If some people thought that the Holy Dynasty won the war by coincidence last time, then this time it was directly proved that it was not a coincidence, but that the Holy Dynasty was indeed capable of defeating the Holy Dragon Kingdom with equal military strength.

Now known.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom was able to defeat the Empire without any chance of fighting back, so the Holy Dragon Kingdom was stronger than the Empire.

Secondly, it has been proven that the Holy Dynasty can easily defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which means that the Holy Dynasty is indeed stronger than the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Then we can clearly come to a conclusion that everyone has to accept -

In the Jialan Continent, the identity of the largest country has changed.

The Empire is no longer the largest military power on the continent. The fact that they were beaten so badly by the Holy Dragon Kingdom that they had no chance to fight back makes it impossible for them to keep the title, even if they have an army of seven million.

The largest country in the continent now is——

Holy Dynasty!

This oldest "small border country" once again stood in the center of the continent overnight.

Saint Laurent XVIII probably did not expect that the one who brought the dynasty to new heights was not Xia, whom he had high hopes for, but Vega, the traitor who attempted to seize the Holy Dynasty.

at the same time.

Okasos, a loyal minister of the kingdom, began to drink alone after hearing the news.

He prepared two cups, drank one and poured another, muttering to himself, "Your Majesty the Eighteenth, the long-cherished wish of more than ten generations of kings of the Holy Dynasty has been fulfilled. Unfortunately, no one expected it to be fulfilled in this way."

"A traitor and a traitor who flatters his superiors."

"A child who is not yet an adult." "Hahaha..."

Okasos said as he poured the bitter wine down his throat: "It turns out that our efforts over the years were nothing more than a piece of cake for that person. I was wrong, we were all wrong. The Saint Mage could not save the dynasty. You risked the destruction of the country and asked me to find a chance to achieve the Sainthood. Unfortunately, before I could achieve the Sainthood, that person had already achieved my goal."

"Next...where should I go?"

Okasos was lost, and his goal was to revive the dynasty.

He has always believed that in order to resist foreign aggression, one must maintain domestic stability, so Vega is a stumbling block that must be removed. As a result, he has been waiting for his advancement to the sainthood, when the time comes, he will kill Vega with lightning speed, and then use the strength of his own sainthood as a starting point to allow the Holy Dynasty to stand on top of the continent again.

But as he followed Vega along the way, he found that he was too naive.

The Empire had a trump card of seven million troops, the Free Alliance had a variety of powerful arms, the Kingdom's blitzkrieg almost destroyed the entire Holy Dynasty while he was away, and now the newly emerged Holy Dragon Kingdom was even more powerful to the point of making him deeply despair.

In front of these giant-like beings, can one change his fate even if he advances to the sainthood?

The answer is obviously no.

Just thinking about these existences makes people feel extremely despair.

Blocking his way were towering mountains that reached into the clouds, and even if he were to ascend to sainthood, he would not be able to climb over these peaks.

But that existence——

Vega’s angelic and innocent smile seemed to appear before Okasos’ eyes.

No! That is the devil's grin.

It was that existence that easily climbed over countless peaks and then announced to the world the return of the king.

correct.

The returning king this time was not the empire, but their sacred dynasty.

Facing the dynasty's greatest contributor, the devil who played with people's hearts, could he really raise his butcher knife and kill him now?
The answer is still no.

Almost subconsciously, Okasos gave the answer.

He drank the bitter wine in his hand, and then took advantage of his drunkenness to come to Vega's command room. He slapped Vega's desk and ignored the superficial etiquette, and shouted angrily: "Little devil, listen to me, if one day you dare to betray your family name and make the seven words "Saint Laurent" and "Holy Dynasty" disappear from the Jialan Continent, I will definitely kill you."

After saying this, he left without waiting for Vega’s answer.

At this time, Vega was confused and didn't understand what Okasos was up to.

If he understood it literally, as long as he didn't erase the names of the Holy Dynasty and the Saint Laurent Royal Family from the continent, Okasos would serve him and no longer take any action against him.

"Why would I erase the names of the Holy Dynasty and the Saint Laurent Royal Family if I have nothing to do?"

Vega muttered to himself. What he wanted was to eliminate all possible threats to his life and live a truly comfortable life, rather than to establish an immortal dynasty. The name was just a code name. He had no interest in the so-called glory and leaving a name in history. Even a man as talented and ambitious as Qin Shihuang still had his great foundation burned down by his descendants after his death.

He is just an ordinary person. Not to mention Qin Shihuang, he is not even as good as an ordinary genius.

"After I die, I won't care about the flood."

Vega laughed at himself, then looked at the direction where Okasos left and said, "Humph, do you think I will believe your nonsense? If you think I will let my guard down with just a few words, you will be disappointed."

Vega obviously didn't believe what Okasos said and became more vigilant against him.
