Mage Veigar

Chapter 611 Repaying kindness
"What a ridiculous friendship."

After receiving the information, Vega showed a look of "as expected".

Are you surprised that the gates of the City of War suddenly closed?

Obviously, Vega was not surprised at all, because in this world, those who still believed that good things will be rewarded and who are honest and trustworthy are probably dead. Even if they are still alive, their good days will not last long.

Vega doesn't believe in friendship, nor does he believe in good people being rewarded.

Rather than waiting for others to reward him, Vega prefers to take the initiative in his own hands.

Do you think Vega dares to break into the empire without any preparation?

Don't forget that he has always been a suspicious person, and even has a certain tendency to persecution mania. Unless it is someone like Xia who can see through someone's heart at a glance, he will not trust other people at all.

Even if it was Silis, Vega had imagined being betrayed by her, let alone the Empire which was his enemy.

If you really count it, have you been betrayed by the empire enough times?
Therefore, before coming here, Vega had already considered the possibility that the Empire would turn against him and want to keep him here, and he made corresponding countermeasures based on this possibility.

For example--

The existence of the Jialan Empire.

Vega's Galan Empire is located in the north of the empire, strictly speaking, in the northeast direction. It is only separated from the northwest by a mountain range, so it takes less than five days to send troops from the Galan Empire to the city of war.

As long as Silis and Vega attack the War City from both sides.

Then at that time it won’t be a question of whether the Empire will let Vega go back, but whether Vega wants to leave.

The situation in the northwest of the empire is now very chaotic.

Neither the army nor the civilians have recovered from the war, and the reconstruction work in the northwest has not yet been completed. Although one million troops is a lot at this time, Vega's side is not weak either.

The quality of the 500,000 soldiers under his command now is no worse than that of the Empire.

Following Vega's battles across the country, and having twice defeated the Holy Dragon Army, which was regarded as the Legion of Hell, they no longer feared the Imperial Army. If a real war broke out, Vega dared to guarantee that he could deal with it head-on.

Secondly, the Jialan Empire can mobilize 30 soldiers.

This adds up to an army of 800,000, and by attacking from both sides, they will definitely be able to capture the city of war.

Don't forget the existence of the Star Mage Okasos.

With the star mage Okasos, there is almost no city that he cannot break through from the front, as long as it is not equipped with crystal hubs and war colossi. Therefore, if this battle is fought by the Imperial Army alone, there is really no reason for failure.

At this stage.

The combination of Vega and Okasos is basically unsolvable. Although the Empire has not yet truly experienced this, the Holy Dragon Nation probably doesn't want to try it a third time.

Therefore, Vega is full of confidence in this battle.

He wished the empire would attack him so that he would have an excuse to capture the City of War and then annex the entire northwest, doubling the territory of the Jialan Empire. In this case, he would not leave even if asked to.

Just like Vega is full of confidence, the Empire is also full of confidence.

Because they have an existence that Vega did not expect - the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

As long as the Holy Dragon Nation joins the battle, Vega will have absolutely no hope of turning the tables.

After all, even Vega did not take into account the existence of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

But in this world, not everyone will sell out everything for profit. This person is Eskar. Originally, when he received the order, he should have immediately launched an attack on Vega, pinned down Vega's steps, waited for the arrival of the Holy Dragon Nation army, and then joined forces to annihilate Vega, but he did not do so.

He simply closed the city gate, cutting off Vega's escape route.

At this time, in the Imperial Army Headquarters in the City of War, Eskar paced back and forth: "Vega, Vega, what do you want from me? It will be too late if you don't leave now."

As seen.

The reason why Eskar took the seemingly correct but somewhat alarming action of closing the city gate was to hint to Vega that the Empire was going to attack you, so you should find a way to escape quickly. As long as you don't leave from the City of War, I can turn a blind eye to other places.

Gratitude.

When Eskar was at his lowest point and nearly lost himself, it was Vega who saved him, reawakened him, and gave him this great victory. Without Vega, there would be no Eskar today.

So when he saw the empire's order, the anger in his heart was naturally beyond words.

We have just won the victory and you are ready to get rid of it?
The Empire could do such a thing, but Eskar would never do it.

However, as a senior general of the empire, he could not openly disobey orders, so he came up with this compromise.

As long as the city gates were closed, Veigar would surely know what was going to happen with his intelligence.

At this time, as long as Vega immediately ordered the troops to march north, taking advantage of the fact that the entire northwest had not yet reorganized its defense network, it would take only two months to easily reach the Far North, and then bypass the Galan Empire through the Kalini Mountains. Of course, he would also order the army to give a symbolic chase, and then tell the Empire that they had not caught up, and the Empire would at most give them a minor punishment.

The plan is perfect.

But this time, Vega seemed to have lost his mind. After so many days, he didn't even show any intention of retreating.

So it’s different from Vega’s calmness.

Eskar is now like an ant on a hot pan. The army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom will arrive in ten days. By then, even if Vega wants to leave, he may not be able to do so. He may even be forced to launch an attack on Vega.

Think before and after.

Eskar finally wrote a letter and asked his trusted guards to deliver it to Vega's military base. In the letter, he told Vega that the Empire was preparing to kill him. At the same time, he also joined forces with the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom to launch a general attack in ten days.

Send this signal.

Eskar's uneasiness reached its peak.

What he is doing now is treason. If this letter is discovered, one can imagine how the empire will treat him and his family. Having done this, one can imagine the pressure Eskar is under.

Didn't sleep all night.

The next day, Eskar finally received a reply from Vega.

He couldn't wait to open the letter and immediately saw a few words of thanks in it, but nothing else.

This made Eskar feel relieved.

Now that things have come to this, I guess Vega has finally figured out how to retreat.

But what surprised Eskar was that in the next few days, Vega remained unmoved and had no intention of retreating. Why was that?
At this moment, Eskar broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately shouted to the guards: "Quick! Prepare the war airship, I want to go to the imperial capital immediately!"
