Chapter 629 Find a new way
"Your Majesty, do you have the courage to give it a try?"

"Your Excellency, please don't hesitate to say it. I am mentally prepared for this."

When Aiden Gary asked this question, Grand Duke Baya gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Perhaps for the powerful Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, giving it a try is a luxury, but as the weakest existence in the East, they have no way out.

Give it a try, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

Sitting still and waiting for death will only lead to your own destruction.

When disaster strikes, you won’t even have the chance to give it a try.

Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought through risk.

Grand Duke Baya was mentally prepared to either bring the Principality of Baya to new heights or let it disappear in the long river of history.

"Your Majesty is so determined, why worry about not accomplishing great things?"

Aiden Gary gathered all the soldier chess pieces in the Principality of Baya on the map and said, "First, Your Majesty, please recall all the soldiers stationed at the border, and at the same time, recover the resource reserves of each city to replenish the treasury."

"Your Excellency, are you going to fight to the death with Vega Saint Laurent?"

Grand Duke Baya frowned, because he had had this idea before, but he rejected it at the first moment. He felt that using the current army of the Principality of Baya to fight against Vega was like hitting a rock with an egg, which made him a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Aiden Gary picked up the chess piece and smiled, saying, "Our target is not Vega, nor the Empire, nor the Holy Dragon Nation."

"What do you mean?"

Grand Duke Baya regained his spirit in his eyes. He suddenly remembered that Aiden had asked him to change the world map. Could it be that Aiden's real purpose was...

"That's right! It's the West!"

Aiden Gary said decisively: "With the current foundation of the Baya Principality and our geographical location, we are fully capable of crossing the mountains for an expedition. In terms of geographical location, is there any country in the East that is closer to the Jialan Mountains than us?"

"No! Not one."

Aiden Gary continued, "Recently, I have been thinking about why the Principality of Baya was able to rise to become a sovereign state in such a chaotic world, becoming one of the true great powers in the East, and initially having the ability to compete with other countries?"

“Just because of Dynasty and Vega’s support?”

"No, I don't think so."

Aiden Gary said succinctly: "I think the fundamental reason why the strength of the Baya Principality has achieved a qualitative leap and has initially acquired the ability to fight against the great powers in a short period of time is that we have annexed more than a dozen vassal states."

"Please enlighten me, Your Excellency."

There was a gleam in Grand Duke Baya's eyes, and he was obviously very interested.

"It is difficult for the weak to defeat the strong, but it is easy for the strong to bully the weak."

Aiden Gary pointed out a way out for the Principality of Baya: "I think that in the East, our Principality of Baya may be bullied by everyone, but in the West, there are many countries weaker than us. Every time we annex a country, our strength will be enhanced. If we annex multiple countries in a short period of time, the national strength of the entire Principality of Baya will make a qualitative leap like last time."

The court fell into silence.

Aiden Gary was like a complete madman: "Even if things go badly, we can still have a way to retreat to the west, and when the time is right, we may have a chance to make a comeback. It's not like now, once we lose the war, we have no way to retreat."

tick-tock-

Everyone is silent.

Everyone present here understands very well how the Principality of Baya grew from a small principality into a great Eastern power, which was achieved by constantly bullying the weak and then constantly annexing other countries to strengthen itself.

Full calculation.

The Principality of Baya was promoted to a great power less than a year ago, but their overall strength has surpassed 50% of the great powers in the West. This is not worth mentioning for Vega, but for other forces, it is already incredible. This is the only advantage of the Principality of Baya -

Swallow the weak, strengthen yourself, and then regard the former strong as weak.

But since the Principality of Baya became a great power, they have forgotten their strengths... No, it should not be said that they have forgotten, but rather that their strengths have been firmly restricted by Vega, the Empire, and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Aiden Gary saw a pattern in the rise of the Baya Principality.

Therefore, he believed that he could completely stop staying in the East and shift his focus to the West, annex Western countries that were weaker than himself, and then expand further until he grew into a behemoth that any force would have to pay attention to.

I have to say, this is very risky.

After all, crossing the Galan Mountains to the west is a war from which there is no return, whether you win or lose.

The empire's resources and military strength might be enough for them to make a round trip, but with the meager foundation of the Principality of Baya, once they cross the Jialan Mountains, they will have to fend for themselves.

Either destroy the Western countries to strengthen itself, or stay in the West forever because of the exhaustion of resources.

And once the plan is implemented.

This means that the center of gravity of the Principality of Baya will move to the west, and sooner or later it will have to abandon its eastern roots, which is even equivalent to handing over everything in the east to Vega. This requires tremendous courage.

"Sir Aiden, can I trust you?"

"Your Majesty, are you willing to believe in yourself?"

"Hahaha!"

Lord Baya laughed heartily: "Your Excellency has been defeated in many battles and has never won a single victory. I am at the end of my rope and in imminent danger. You and I are both complete losers. As losers, I understand your desire for victory better than anyone else, so come on—"

"The fate of the Principality of Baya is at stake."

Grand Duke Baya drew out his cross sword and said, "In the name of the 'King of the Principality of Baya', I appoint Aiden Gary as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, in charge of the 500,000 soldiers of the Principality of Baya, and we will march west immediately!"

Grand Duke Baya gambled everything.

Aiden Gary placed his bets on the Principality of Baya.

One is at the end of his rope and his country is on the verge of destruction; the other has been defeated in many battles and dreams of proving himself.

When two losers collide, no one knows what sparks will erupt.

But what is certain is that the Principality of Baya will drag the Western countries that have been standing by and watching into the war, pouring more fuel on the flames of war in the Galan Continent.

In the next ten days.

The Principality of Baya began to concentrate its forces and resources, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were planning to start a war.

Vega frowned after hearing the information.

To be honest, he had never thought that the Principality of Baya would take any action. In his eyes, the Principality of Baya had always been a being at the mercy of others. Compared with several countries in the East, they were simply a larger vassal state.

"So what is the Principality of Baya going to do?"

Vega really couldn't figure this out. It seemed that if he provoked any country, he would be courting death.

Is Aiden Gary really a disaster?

Wherever you go, bad luck will befall that force.

Although he did not take the Principality of Baya seriously, he was too lazy to even guess what the other party would do next.

But just in case, Vega still ordered the Galan Army to move closer to the border to prevent the Dynasty Army from being caught off guard by the Principality of Baya from the rear when it went to war with the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
