Chapter 608 Murderous Intent

Holy Dragon Kingdom, the city of dragons.

The Holy Dragon King sat on the throne, leaning on the armrest with his left hand and rubbing his temple with his right hand, his face looking a little tired.

"Explain it."

The calm voice echoed in the court.

Augustus, who was kneeling in the hall below, was sweating coldly: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say about the defeat in the war. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I have no complaints either, but please listen to me."

"Speak now, or you'll have no chance."

The words of the Holy Dragon King made Augustus' heart sink to the bottom. He knew that he could not escape today. If he was lucky, he would be like his brother, deprived of his rights and imprisoned forever, waiting for the day to be re-employed. If his luck was a little worse, he would probably die, without even a chance to turn over.

despite this.

For the future of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Augustus is ready to do his last bit of effort.

He said sincerely: "There are three reasons for this defeat."

"Our soldiers have a unique talent for war, and their explosive power is unmatched. However, this is also our weakness. Once this talent for war enters a vacuum period, our army will become completely ineffective. This is the first reason."

"We underestimated the continental countries and neglected intelligence work. The news of the alliance between the Holy Dynasty and the Empire has been out for half a month, but we knew nothing about it until we were defeated. This is the second reason."

"Finally, I would like to ask Your Majesty to focus on an officer - Vega Saint Laurent."

"He has only been in the army for five years, but he has never been defeated in a continental war. After my clan returned to the continent, we tried to invade other countries three times. The first time we succeeded in destroying the United Kingdom, the second time we failed in invading the Holy Dynasty, and the third time we failed again in attacking the Empire. According to my understanding, Vega participated in the last two of the three wars."

"Before Vega Saint Laurent arrived, our army was unstoppable."

"After Vega Saint Laurent arrived, our army was completely wiped out."

"Therefore, I conclude that this is the third reason for our army's failure."

Augustus raised his head slightly: "If our country wants to unify the continent and restore the rule of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, we must pay attention to these three points, especially the commander named 'Vega Saint Laurent'."

"interesting."

The Holy Dragon King opened his slightly narrowed eyes and said, "Go on."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

Augustus showed a hint of joy. He was most afraid that the king would not listen to him, a defeated general. Now it seems that he underestimated the king's tolerance: "Regarding these three points, I also have three suggestions."

"Tell me about it, I will consider it." The Holy Dragon King did not show any impatience.

"First, Your Majesty, please treat the human race well and improve their social status."

"Second, Your Majesty, please allow the army to resume training for new recruits without using magic defense. We must ensure that the soldiers still have a certain level of combat capability after losing magic defense."

"Third, please establish an intelligence network. Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the saying, 'If you know your enemy and yourself, you will win every battle?'"

“Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle?”

The Holy Dragon King frowned and looked at Augustus: "Which wise man in our Holy Dragon Nation said this? In just eight words, he actually revealed the key to the war. Let's do as you said and set up an intelligence system immediately."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Augustus continued, "But unfortunately, the person who said this was not our sage, but Vega Saint Laurent, who made our efforts go to waste twice." "Did that Vega Saint Laurent say this?"

"It's true."

Augustus replied: "In the past few days, I have learned in detail about all the deeds of this person from childhood to adulthood, including some words that flowed from his mouth, which directly prove that Vega Saint Laurent is definitely an existence that we must pay attention to."

"If this statement comes from his mouth, it really cannot be underestimated."

A sharp look flashed in the Holy Dragon King's eyes: "If such a talent cannot be used by us, we can only get rid of it as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid neither will work."

Augustus paused for a moment, then explained: "Vega Saint Laurent is a king and a prince, so he would never defect to our Holy Dragon Nation. In addition, I learned in detail about the war commanded by the fugitive Aiden Gary, and found that Vega has a Star Mage under his command. In addition, he is very powerful and can kill our Holy Dragon Envoy head-on."

"Is there no good way to get rid of him?"

Augustus looked at the Holy Dragon King with hope in his eyes: "As a subject who is currently guilty, I am only offering suggestions to Your Majesty. Please forgive me for being unable to help with other matters."

"Hahaha, what a great Augustus."

The Holy Dragon King laughed loudly and said, "When your brother lost 300,000 Black Dragon Legion soldiers, I gave him a chance, but unfortunately he failed to seize it. You are different from your brother, so I will forgive you for the loss of this war."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Augustus said excitedly: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations and offer everything to help the Holy Dragon Kingdom unify the continent."

"but!"

The Holy Dragon King looked at Augustus with a cold gaze and said, "I will not allow you to fail again. If you fail again next time, don't come back to see me."

"My lord understands."

Augustus assured confidently.

"very good."

The Holy Dragon King looked at Augustus and said, "I will leave the training of new soldiers and improving the status of the human race to you. Remember to appease the nobles and civilians. In addition, I want to hear in detail how you are going to get rid of Vega Saint Laurent. When you come up with a plan and are ready to implement it, remember to report to me as soon as possible."

"Regarding the last matter, I do have some clues."

"Oh? Tell me, you should know the consequences of being perfunctory to me."

There was doubt in the Holy Dragon King's eyes. He didn't quite believe that someone could come up with a targeted solution in such a short time.

"I dare not be perfunctory to Your Majesty."

Augustus said confidently: "According to my investigation, the Holy Dynasty represented by Vega Saint Laurent has been recognized by the continental countries as the most powerful force. There is an old saying among humans that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Now, for the Empire and the continental countries, the one they fear the most may not be us, but Vega Saint Laurent. After all, we have failed twice in three battles, while Vega Saint Laurent has never been defeated."

"You mean..."

"That's exactly what your Majesty meant."

Augustus smiled knowingly at the Holy Dragon King: "Now it all depends on whether Your Majesty can find a way to appease those self-righteous officials in the court. I will find a way on the Empire side."
