Mage Veigar

Chapter 660 Struggling
The capital of the Jialan Empire is Kaleni City.

During the time that Vega was imprisoned, Celis Rodney suffered an unprecedented blow.

First, news came from Holy Dragon City that Vega suddenly fell ill and was unable to command the army.

It was easy to deceive the ignorant soldiers and others with this information, but Silis didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart. How could a high-ranking professional and magician who was basically immune to all poisons suddenly fall ill and be unable to command the army? Even if she had to find an excuse, she should find a convincing one.

need to know.

Qi Lisi herself came from a life of intrigue and deception.

She was so familiar with this that she warned the dynasty immediately that if the dynasty could no longer accommodate Vega, the Galan Empire founded by Vega himself would be his eternal backing.

But Wang Chao ignored her warnings.

This is understandable. Vega brought the dynasty to such a height. Compared with the dynasty, the Galan Empire was established too short a time ago and is not at the same level as the dynasty. Naturally, the dynasty would not pay attention to her.

This made Celis very depressed.

She even had the urge to launch an attack on the dynasty and force them to hand over Vega.

Unfortunately, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Foster surrendered temporarily because he was afraid of Vega. Now that Vega has fallen, Foster in Rops City is the first to defect, reconcile with the Empire, and then launch an attack on them.

Foster was a general.

And Celis is strictly speaking more like a politician.

With Vega as a backer, it is very easy for politicians to control generals, but when the backer disappears, even if they have a lot of leverage, they can't do anything to Foster, because the person who makes him afraid is no longer there.

And into the realm of war.

How could Celis be a match for Foster?
Now the imperial army has reached the heart of the north and is slowly advancing towards the city of Kareni.

Even though the city of Kareni has very complete defense facilities, it cannot stop Foster for too long.

When Kaleni fell, it also meant the destruction of the Galan Empire.

This was hard for Celis to accept.

Like Shia, she regards Vega as the meaning of life.

She wanted to do everything in her power to at least keep Vega's 'home'.

The Holy Dynasty had already betrayed Veigar. If she lost the Galan Empire again, wouldn't Veigar have nowhere to stay when he returned? She could never forgive herself for this.

But the reality is so cold.

If you don't have this talent, no matter how determined you are, you won't be able to change anything.

tick-tock-

In a dim bedroom.

Tears fell from Celis's eyes.

Qilis was crying silently. When the Principality of Baya launched an attack on the Galan Empire, she felt deeply powerless and deeply regretted that she had no talent for war.

She hated tears.

Because tears are a sign of weakness.

But she couldn't control her tears, just as she had to admit that she was weak.

Yes, she is weak.

They have no ability to defeat Foster, nor do they have the ability to force the Holy Dynasty to hand over Vega. Even now, the small Principality of Baya dares to invade the Galan Empire, which is simply an insult to Vega.

Before this.

Facing Vega, all the Principality of Baya could do was flee.

"But... there's really no other way."

Silis felt cold all over, and this powerlessness made her feel as if she had returned to the time before she met Vega.

She hated this feeling.

If it was before she met Vega, this feeling would make her very scared and she would just accept it. But now, although Silis still feels uneasy, she no longer has that deep fear.

"Yes, he saved me!"

Qi Lisi slowly raised her head, "He changed my fate and gave me freedom. I have been spoiled by him and I no longer know what it means to be submissive. My hands are already stained with the blood of those who got in my way."

"Yeah, I've been spoiled."

Qi Lisi opened the tightly closed door, and the light outside the door reflected on her proud and confident face: "Foster, don't even think about making me surrender! I have killed so many imperial admirals that I can't even count them myself."

Her words revealed endless confidence. She was not a general, had no military talent, and couldn't even write a battle plan for a war.

But what does it matter?

This did not prevent her from having her hands stained with the blood of senior generals who had made the enemy tremble in fear on the battlefield for the sake of Vega's OECD. The number of these senior generals was indeed so many that she could not remember them all.

creak-

As they walked along, the door of the conference room was pushed open by Qi Lisi.

She was like a mysterious yet almighty underground queen, and she walked into the underground palace amidst the fearful gazes of officials and generals.

Different from the dynasty's trust, respect, and admiration for Xia...

In the upper echelons of the Jialan Empire.

There is no one who is not afraid of Celis, and there is no one who does not fear Celis from the bottom of his heart.

In private, many generals and officials believed that they would rather face Vega every day than face Celis.

Because once you are spotted by that exquisite and beautiful face, you will be unable to live or die for the rest of your life.

Qilisi used the same tactics that she had used to control the empire's top brass on the Jialan Empire. The entire top brass would rather commit suicide than betray Qilisi and disobey her orders. They were afraid of Qilisi like a tiger.

This level of fear is engraved in their bones.

So in this tense atmosphere, I didn't even dare to breathe deeply.

An emergency meeting began.

A lieutenant general said tremblingly: "Lord Qilis, urgent news from the front line, Foster and the Principality of Baya are attacking from both sides, and our army is retreating step by step. I am afraid that in less than ten days, the two forces will be at the gates of the city."

"Lieutenant General Teniso."

"I am here, your humble servant."

Beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and he stood at attention like an elementary school student who had made a mistake.

Without even glancing at him, Qi Lisi continued, "I heard that your son got the admission letter to the Free Alliance Central Military Academy? You even sent him off two nights ago? The love between father and son is so touching."

The words fell.

The lieutenant general turned pale with fear. He collapsed to the ground and said, "You...how did you know..."

Celis did not answer the question.

She glanced at the entire conference room with a smile on her face, and that glance made everyone's hair stand on end.

"You know what to do now."

Qi Lisi glanced at the lieutenant general who was lying on the ground.

The lieutenant general kowtowed repeatedly: "Lord Qilis, please let my child go. I know what to do."

The lieutenant general picked up the long sword he carried with him and slashed it across his neck, causing blood from the artery to spurt out.

Da da da--

At this time, Qi Lisi took two steps forward and threw an admission letter that had already been stained with blood together with the corpse.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and the faces of all the officers turned pale.

Obviously, this is the admission letter for the lieutenant general's child. From what the lieutenant general said, we can know that his child had been secretly sent out two nights ago. Now this bloody letter appeared here...

The answer is self-evident.

"Everyone."

Qi Lisi's kind voice echoed in the conference room: "When the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken. The Jialan Empire is our home. As long as the Jialan Empire exists, our family will be saved, so please figure out the direction of your efforts."

"We are willing to live and die with the Jialan Empire!"

Everyone swore an oath in a hurry, and a senior officer also quickly gave up the idea of ​​running away when disaster struck.

Celis seemed satisfied with everyone's answers.

She looked at everyone and said, "You are all worthy of being generals of the Jialan Empire. You will surely be thankful for your choice today. Therefore, before our king returns, the Jialan Empire will never fall here!"

One word uttered.

Qi Lisi pointed to the Principality of Baya on the map and said, "Defense has never been our fighting style. Next, our first target is here! It's time to teach those bullies what a real invader is."
