Mage Veigar

Chapter 657 Omnipotent
Dynasty Army, headquarters.

Vega was taken to a separate room and was still guarded by Carol.

However, this time he was not treated as specially in the secret room. Vega was put in a sack and his mouth was blocked so he could not make any sound. This meant that he could not only not see the surroundings clearly, but also could not speak.

I have been maintaining this posture for nearly half a day.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably feel nervous and uneasy.

Because the surroundings were very quiet, there was no sound except Carol's breathing. In addition, he couldn't speak, couldn't see anything, and didn't even know where he was being taken. It was inevitable that he would feel psychological pressure.

The reason why Vega did not feel uneasy was not only because he was experienced in many battles, but also because he had roughly guessed why he was taken out of the secret room.

"This is a retreat."

Vega couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This Okasos is still a bit shrewd. He can let go of his worries and make the decision to retreat at this critical moment. It seems that the dynasty can survive for a while longer. However, whether it can retreat safely depends on how Okasos operates."

Although this decision is correct.

But there is one thing that is most fatal about Vegas.

Because the dynasty army had obviously missed the best time to retreat.

Now the Holy Dragon Kingdom must have spies all around the city. If Okasos dares to retreat openly with his army, he will inevitably encounter unprecedented pursuit, and if things go wrong, his entire army will be wiped out.

And even if the Dynasty army really escapes unscathed, what would happen?
Having lost the reputation he had worked so hard to build to suppress other countries, the dynasty has now become a thorn in the eyes of other countries. If necessary, the Empire, the Principality of Baya, and the Holy Dragon Kingdom may even join hands to get the dynasty out first.

in this world.

There is a saying that goes "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Either you have grown to the point where even the wind dares not shake your position, or you should never be the first to stand out.

Obviously, Vega has achieved the former, while Okasos and Xia have not done the former. Instead, they are forced to become the tallest tree in the forest, so the strong wind will inevitably destroy them.

So Veigar was neither hasty nor slow.

He was just like a bystander, letting these people take him here and there.

The day when the Holy Dynasty falls will be the day of his rebirth.

Just when Vega was making his wishful thinking in his mind, the door suddenly opened.

creak-

After a crisp sound, Vega heard Carol's voice.

"Your Majesty..."

Carol's voice seemed to be stopped as soon as he uttered a word. Then Vega heard the footsteps leaving the room and the sound of a door closing. Apart from him, the only sound in the room was breathing.

Is that Carol in the room?

Apparently not anymore.

From the word Carol uttered earlier, Vega could roughly guess that it was Shia who was in the room.

Vega wanted to make a sound, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything.

And Shia didn't seem to have any intention of removing the sack from Vega and untying his bonds.

At this time, only Xia Ya's extremely faint voice could be heard in the room: "I know you are very uncomfortable now, but please be patient. Xia Ya will definitely find a way to bring you back to Saint Laurent safely."

"Ok?"

Vega keenly noticed the difference in Xia's words and was a little confused.

Obviously Okasos is in command now, why would Xia make this promise to him?
Could it be that——Vega was startled for no reason.

That flower in the greenhouse, the canary in the cage, is now able to stand on its own?
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Vega didn't believe such ridiculous things.

Under his control, Xia had never been exposed to politics and military affairs. For a long time afterwards, Xia had been practicing hard, and was completely an innocent girl who was ignorant of worldly affairs.

Even if this girl possesses considerable strength.

But facing a war of blood and fire, it was good enough for him not to be stage-frightened in front of those powerful generals. How could he muster the courage to take charge of the overall situation, let alone take over the military power from Okasos and make such a correct decision to retreat?
It was like answering the question in Vega’s mind.

Xia hugged Vega tightly through the rough sack.

Although he couldn't see anything, Vega could clearly feel Xia's irregular heartbeat and her body trembling subconsciously due to fear and anxiety.

It is completely certain.

This girl, whom he was very familiar with, his nominal wife, really took the most useless command power from Okasos at this most critical moment.

If he could speak, Vega would like to ask loudly.

Why would you take the responsibility on yourself when someone else is taking the blame for you? And from the way Xia was shaking with anxiety, it was clear that she hadn't thought of a way to get out of this situation.

This is simply nonsense.

But from another perspective, Shia's behavior refreshed Vega's cognition.

Now he was becoming more and more curious about what had caused this girl to grow to this point overnight, not only causing Okasos to surrender his military power but also allowing him to clearly see the situation in which he had to retreat.

Or, is it true that geniuses really exist in this world?

Even if she is a genius, her speed of cultivation is far beyond the reach of him, who has a cheating device. Does she want to catch up with him even in the field of war? This is too shocking. He is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Shia seemed to hear Vega's thoughts again.

She leaned close to Vega's ear and said in a firm voice that sounded like the truth: "Xia will not let anyone take you away from me. Everything you want will be realized by Xia. Please believe in Xia, because as long as you are here, Xia can do anything!"

The accelerated heartbeat returned to normal rhythm.

The uneasy body stopped shaking.

The moment Xia let go of Vega's body, she turned and left.

She didn't look at Vega again, because this short meeting of less than five minutes had already given Xia great courage.

That's right.

When the building was about to collapse, she was able to stand up and take on the mission not because of her reputation as a "genius", but because of Vega's existence. It was Vega's existence that gave her the courage to conquer the world.

Just as Shia said.

As long as Vega is around, she can do anything.

At this critical moment, she convened the last meeting in Shenglong City and issued orders to a group of officers.

It was really giving orders rather than articulating a plan.

She did not give anyone a chance to deny it, and said bluntly: "The Fifth Army and the logistics troops are continuing to prepare for the retreat in the city. I need you to sort out everything within six hours. Can you do it, General?"

"I guarantee it with my life."

Xia then turned her gaze to Okasos and other officers: "The remaining 40 soldiers and air corps, please be prepared to die, follow me and immediately launch an attack on the Holy Dragon Army's base!"
