Mage Veigar

Chapter 620 Prepare for a rainy day
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

This is Vega's next plan.

As public opinion in the empire intensified, the three powers had no choice but to resort to forceful means to control it. Although this approach stabilized the environment in the empire, Vega knew that it was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

As a time traveler, Vega has seen too many situations like this.

Thousands of years ago, even a powerful emperor like Qin Shi Huang collected all the soldiers in the world, gathered them in Xianyang, melted them down, and cast them into twelve golden men in order to weaken the people of the world. This method can be said to be a model of using force to suppress the world, and it reached an unparalleled level in history.

But the result?

Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, ruled for twelve years and then died. Less than three years later, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

It was only fifteen years in total, and it was two humble peasants who brought about the demise of this dynasty.

From this we can see that the more force is used to control the entire country, the greater the backlash will be. However, the empire is now unaware of this and believes that it has stabilized the domestic situation and suppressed all discordant voices through the use of force.

Therefore, Vega can already foresee it.

In the following period of time, the people who are unwilling to be oppressed will rise up in resistance, and these forces will surely spring up like mushrooms after rain, one wave after another, and the empire will surely fall into a state of desperation.

Therefore, all Vega has to do is sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

As long as you sit in the north of the empire and quietly wait for the outbreak of civil unrest in the empire, you can win this war.

"Can a mere commoner really shake the empire's thousands of years of rule?"

After listening to Vega's analysis, Okasos instinctively doubted it: "Please forgive me for not agreeing with this. I think it is better for us to prepare early. Now that the Free Alliance has withdrawn its troops, the Empire will inevitably start a war against us again after stabilizing the domestic environment and retaking the entire northern territory."

"Then we'll see."

Vega smiled and didn't care. Anyway, he was the one who had the final say in the whole country. If he said he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, everyone had to wait here with him. Even if Okasos objected, it would not have any impact on him.

After a brief discussion, the two left the meeting room.

Vega then turned his gaze to the adjutant beside him: "Captain, before the war, I ordered you to bring two female slaves from the Free Alliance from Saint Laurent here. So many days have passed, how is the matter going?"

"This……"

The adjutant hesitated, then hurriedly said nervously: "Report to Your Highness... The two slave girls sneaked into your secret room while you were away from Saint Laurent, and seemed to be trying to steal your rune arm. They were later executed on the spot by Lord Iroh."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Vega frowned, not knowing whether it was true or not. Finally, he took two steps back and forth and said, "Send someone to Saint Laurent immediately and ask Menno to strengthen the surveillance of Yiluo for me. I don't want any accidents to happen."

"I will send someone to do it right away."

"and many more."

Veigar stopped his adjutant who was about to leave and said, "Go check if there are any people in this war city or nearby cities who are proficient in the Western Alliance language. If you find any, no matter how many people there are, spend a lot of money to invite them. We need to learn the Alliance language as soon as possible."

Since the Free Union is the most powerful and oldest nation in the West.

Western countries have long been influenced by the Free Alliance, so the Alliance language has become the common language of the West. Vega believes that if you want to invade the West, you must learn the common language.

If you don't even know the enemy's native language, how can you know yourself and the enemy? If you can't know yourself and the enemy, how can you win the war? So Veigar believes that learning the Alliance language is imperative. Not only does he have to learn it, but all the officers here have to learn it.

Even if you cannot learn it, at least you should have a basic understanding of its meaning, so that you won't seize a piece of enemy intelligence and then find out sadly that you can't understand it at all.

Vega takes this matter very seriously.

So he urgently wanted to find one or several people who were proficient in the Alliance language.

Because in Vega's view, the war situation in the east has stabilized. If the current pace continues, he will be able to unify the entire east without any effort.

without any exaggeration.

The day the empire falls apart is the day when Vega will unify the East.

The Empire used to be his biggest rival. When the Empire revealed its cards, Vega felt desperate. Unfortunately, Vega did not expect the Holy Dragon Nation to suddenly appear and muddy the waters. The Empire made many mistakes and turned a good hand into this state.

So that's how it has come to this.

There was indeed no threat to his existence in the entire east, so he just needed to wait quietly for the opportunity to come.

In the next few days.

Vega and Silis discussed the acceptance and reconstruction of the northwest, but Old Scimitar asked Vega to fulfill his promise in advance and help him establish an independent country, because his tribe was on the edge of the northwest, bordering the Baya Principality. Due to the defeat of the imperial army, it had become a no-man's land, and the Baya Principality was eyeing it covetously.

However, this is hindered by Vega's current strength.

The Principality of Baya did not seem to dare to anger Vega over a piece of land, but it still caused Old Scimitar's concern.

"Mr. Holt Machete."

Vega's face showed no expression. He said bluntly, "If I remember correctly, my original promise was to help you establish an independent country and give you asylum after the empire collapsed. However, the West is in ruins and other countries are eyeing us covetously. Our dynasty and the Jialan Empire are already busy with their own affairs and do not have the extra energy to help you."

"I…I'm sorry. I was presumptuous."

Old Scimitar seemed a little unwilling, but still chose to obey Vega's orders.

Because he had no choice but to rely on Veigar, even if Veigar chose to break his promise, he would still have no way to stop him. After all, his roots were in the northwest, and the northwest was now Veigar's territory. He had no room for resistance and could only hope that after destroying the empire, Veigar would fulfill his promise and help him establish an independent country with sovereignty.

Finished these chores.

The adjutant finally came back with the latest news.

But judging from his panicked expression, it was obviously not good news: "Your Highness, please forgive me for my poor performance. I have not found anyone who is proficient in the Alliance language in the City of War or the nearby cities. After all, with the Jialan Mountains as a natural barrier, people who are proficient in the Alliance language are rare."

"Are people who are fluent in Alliance language really that rare?"

Vega frowned. It seemed that the only option now was to wait until the empire was destroyed and then take over their diplomatic team. The imperial officials must have quite a lot of such talents.

But Vega wants to prepare for a rainy day, and it is not Vega's character to make plans when the time comes.

He frowned and said, "You must be looking for someone in the wrong way. There are countless merchants and civilians from the Empire who have been expelled from the Western countries recently. I don't believe that we can't find someone who is fluent in the Alliance language. I will do this myself!"
