Chapter 628: Strive to become stronger!

A few dozen days ago.

Principality of Baya, the ancient city of Hammerfall.

The ancient city of Kilso, Hammerfall, is the capital of the Principality of Baya.

The news that Vega was preparing for war also reached here. Like the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Principality of Baya was in a state of panic. As the weakest emerging power in the East, any move by any country would put enormous pressure on them, not to mention Vega.

"Everyone, what do you think of the dynasty's movements?"

Grand Duke Baya was worried and sought advice from his ministers at the court meeting the next day.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

An old minister stepped forward to comfort Grand Duke Baya, saying, "We have always been on good terms with the dynasty. We were able to become a great power in the East with the help of His Highness Vega Saint Laurent. I don't think they will attack their allies this time."

"Are you too naive, sir?"

Aiden Gary snorted disdainfully and stood up and said, "During the Dynasty West Coast War, I fought with Vega. I know that kid's character very well. If you try to talk about friendship with that kid, I'm afraid you will be sold out and still help him count money."

This is a shame that Aiden will never forget.

Thinking back to the battle of the Stone City on the west coast, he was deceived by Vega's "friendship" and lost his way. After repeated battles, he was forced to hide from the outside world and drift overseas. The last time he led the Holy Dragon Army to invade the Dynasty, he lost an arm because of it. How could he not know Vega?

"You are a defeated general. It is a relief that His Majesty has taken you in. You have no right to speak here!"

"You!" Aiden's face flushed.

"If you don't agree, please tell me if you have ever won a battle?"

The old minister took advantage of his seniority and glanced at Aiden Gary with a haughty look. He was puzzled as to why the king would take in such a man who had been defeated repeatedly in battles. After all, taking him in would anger the two forces of Vega and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, because Aiden Gary was now a wanted criminal in these two countries.

"Quiet!"

Grand Duke Baya frowned and said: "It is indeed shameful to fail, but against that devil Vega, I would like to ask everyone here, do you have the ability to defeat him? Not to mention defeating him, how many people here can come back alive from his hands?"

exactly.

So far, except for deliberately sending away 100,000 lives of the Imperial Army on the west coast, Vega has never been defeated in the true sense. Only the truly famous generals of the time can come back alive from his hands, while ordinary commanders are doomed.

This is why the Principality of Baya accepted Aiden.

First of all, Aiden has escaped from Vega many times since the Dynasty's West Coast War. In addition, he has commanded the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Although he always ended in failure in the end, his understanding of the Dynasty and the Holy Dragon Kingdom is probably unmatched.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

This is a wise saying that Vega taught to all the generals on the continent.

As an emerging country, the Principality of Baya is very familiar with its old employer, the Empire, but is completely in the dark about the Holy Dynasty and the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Now with Aiden Gary's defection, they finally have a clear understanding of the entire East.

So Grand Duke Baya values ​​Aiden very much.

Aiden Gary is the eyes that allow the Principality of Baya to see clearly the Dynasty, the Galan Empire, and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

"May I ask what General Aiden thinks of the dynasty's movements?"

Grand Duke Baya asked this question to Aiden.

"Please ask your majesty."

Aiden Gary bowed to Grand Duke Baya and said, "Do you want me to report only the good news and not the bad news, or do you want my sincere words?"

"Of course I speak from the bottom of my heart."

"Then please forgive me my death sentence, Your Majesty." "I will forgive you my death sentence!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Aiden Gary took a deep breath, walked to the center of the hall, stood in front of the map of the East with maps and chess pieces, took a look and said, "Your Majesty, please change the world map for me."

The empty sleeves fluttered in the wind.

The broken arm seemed to make Aiden Gary more stable once again: "Your Majesty, please look, this is the Jialan Empire and the Holy Dynasty controlled by Vega. We are located to the northwest of him. The actual border line is less than 7%, while the border line between the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Jialan Empire and the Holy Dynasty accounts for 90%."

"What does this prove?" Grand Duke Baya asked.

Aidengari replied: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on your bed? How can there be room for two tigers in one mountain? The Holy Dragon Kingdom borders Vega's territory, which may make him feel very insecure. So I am sure that the dynasty's actions this time are probably aimed at the Holy Dragon Kingdom, not our country and the empire."

"Based on my understanding of Vega Saint Laurent, I dare to conclude that—"

Aiden glanced at the positions of the Empire and the Principality of Baya and said, "That brat must want to wait for the civil strife in the Empire to end so that he can reap the benefits. To say something that may undermine the dignity of Your Majesty, perhaps the Principality of Baya is not taken seriously by him."

"presumptuous!"

The old minister stood up and said angrily: "We are one of the great Eastern powers. How can we not even be respected? I think you, a defeated general, are talking nonsense and disturbing the morale of the army. Your Majesty, please kill him to serve as a warning to others."

"IMHO."

Aiden Gary laughed: "Even if the empire is on the decline, it still has six million soldiers. Although the Holy Dragon has been defeated repeatedly, its army's combat effectiveness is still unmatched. So, may I ask, is there anything about us that is worthy of that little devil's fear?"

"You, you, you...you are talking nonsense. You are destroying the morale of the army!"

"Could you please change the wording?"

bang bang bang-

Grand Duke Baya slammed the table a few times and said, "Stop it, everyone. Vega Saint Laurent told us that only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. How can someone who dares not even admit his own incompetence be qualified to win the war?"

"Just as Lord Aiden said."

Grand Duke Baya looked very humble. "We are very weak. We have no chance of winning. Vega... no, any country in the East can easily destroy us. Although we have become a sovereign country, it is just a fake. Our fate has never been controlled by ourselves. Even if Mr. Aiden did not continue, I understand very well that once the Holy Dragon Kingdom is destroyed, I am afraid that the Dynasty Army will bury us into the dust of history."

"But!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

Grand Duke Baya clenched his fists until they turned white. "Even if I will be buried in the dust of history sooner or later, I want to truly control my own destiny for once. I will never admit to disappearing from the continent without even being considered an enemy!"

Grand Duke Baya took a deep breath.

He stood up from the throne and slowly knelt down in front of all the ministers in the court: "Everyone, I want the Principality of Baya to truly control its own destiny. Unfortunately, this cannot be done by my own strength. I have no confidence in my wisdom. But I know you can do it. I ask you all to use your talents to make the name of 'Baya' resound throughout the continent!"

"I will wait till death."

The ministers in the court knelt on the ground, but no one offered any useful suggestions.

Grand Duke Baya's eyes were filled with despair: "Is it possible that... the Principality of Baya can only stop here?"

But at this time, Grand Duke Baya noticed that there was a person in the court who did not kneel down. That person was Aiden Gary who was standing in front of the map of the Galan Continent.

Eyes facing each other.

Aiden Gary said solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you have the courage to give it a try?"
