Chapter 665 The Three Parties Are Ready
Outside Saint Laurent.

The Imperial Army and the Holy Dragon Army are already at the gates of the city.

The commanders of the two armies, Foster and Augustus, have reached an agreement that they will jointly launch an attack on Saint Laurent in five days and completely annihilate the main force of the Holy Dynasty here.

Imperial Army Station.

Foster held the last pre-war meeting.

The military meetings of the Empire were not like the Dynasty Army led by Vega, where the commander directly gave the battle plan before the meeting, and the subordinates discussed and executed the battle plan. The military meetings of the Empire were always held in the form of discussions to gather ideas from all sides, and finally the commander integrated all useful opinions, formulated a battle plan after the meeting, and implemented it directly.

So the meeting was held under Foster's organization.

"Please feel free to speak your mind about the battle of Saint Laurent."

After hearing what Foster said, a division commander couldn't wait to stand up and said, "Commander, I think this battle is a sure win. What we should consider is to win at the lowest cost."

"What you said is absolutely true."

The deputy chief of staff agreed, "I think the most urgent task is to find a way to persuade the Holy Dragon Army to serve as the vanguard. As long as they are willing to serve as the vanguard, our army's losses will be minimized."

"The two generals are right."

A lieutenant general said to Foster: "Commander-in-Chief, Saint Laurent City is clearly a sure win. I think we should look at this war from a long-term perspective."

"How long-term?" asked Foster.

The lieutenant general glanced at the map and said, "Once the Holy Dynasty is destroyed, the entire East will be a battle between us and the Holy Dragon Kingdom. In view of the great defeat of our army last time, I think this will be the best opportunity to weaken the military strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom."

"Your Excellency means..."

"Use the Dynasty Army to drag them down until their magic power is exhausted, and then take advantage of the moment when both sides are hurt to stab the Holy Dragon Nation."

The lieutenant general spoke eloquently: "Therefore, I fully agree with the generals. We should not focus on the dynasty war that is almost certain to win, but should find a way to persuade the Holy Dragon Kingdom to take the lead. And I believe that with the Holy Dragon Kingdom's combat experience, which is like a blank sheet of paper, it is easy to use some means to make them serve as the vanguard."

"Second." "Second." "..."

All the officers in the conference room seconded the lieutenant general's statement.

But what the Empire didn't know was that Augustus was no longer innocent after being educated by Vega. When the Empire was plotting against him, he was also plotting against the Imperial Army.

At this time, the Holy Dragon Army Command.

Augustus and Palitzer sat opposite each other.

Holding the letter sent by the Empire, Palitzer said: "The foolish Empire actually chose us to be the vanguard? Why should we worry about such a good thing? As long as we enter Saint Laurent City first, we can take it for ourselves."

Palitzer was quite excited.

As he had won battle after battle, having fought all the way from the City of Ice and Fire to here, Palitzer believed that overthrowing the dynasty would be a piece of cake. In this case, whoever entered Saint Laurent first would certainly be able to gain control of the city.

Originally, Palitzer believed that the Empire would definitely compete with them for this position. The most likely possibility was that both sides would show off their abilities and start a war competition. It would depend on their own abilities to see who could enter Saint Laurent first.

But Augustus shook his head.

He threw the letter on the table and said, "Captain Palitzer, you are wrong. Humans are greedy and cunning by nature. It is not their style to hand over the prey they have already obtained. I am afraid that the Empire wants to take it all this time."

"How do you take all the big and small ones?" "It's very simple."

Augustus said bluntly: "The Empire intends to attack our rear while we capture Saint Laurent. Not only will they be able to take Saint Laurent, but they will also be able to severely damage our vitality. Therefore, our real enemy this time is no longer the weak dynasty, but the Imperial Army."

"This...this...shameless human!"

Palitzer was very angry. It was unreasonable to understand that there was a powerful enemy at the doorstep, but instead of working together to destroy the enemy, they were actually planning to attack them.

"Sir Augustus, what should we do?"

Palitzer said somewhat unwillingly: "We cannot give up the position of the vanguard no matter what. This first move is too critical for us, but the Imperial Army has to be on guard."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, have you forgotten something?"

Augustus chuckled: "The whole continent knows that our sub-dragon species' magic defense can only last for six hours, but few people know that the Silver Dragon Legion's magic defense time is seven hours. The most elite Holy Dragon Legion's magic defense time can even reach 10 hours. This will become our secret weapon to counter the empire."

Palitzer's eyes lit up.

He said excitedly, "Fortunately, His Majesty has allocated 20 Holy Dragon Legion troops to us for this expedition. It's good that the Imperial Army doesn't plan to play tricks on us. If they really dare to stab us in the back, we'll let them know how powerful the Holy Dragon Legion is."

"Your Excellency is so kind."

Augustus said: "Even if the Empire has no intention of harming us, we must make good use of the Holy Dragon Legion this time to make the Empire suffer a great loss. After all, after the dynasty is destroyed, the Empire will be our only enemy."

"Lord Augustus...you..."

Palitzer shrank back subconsciously. He remembered that Augustus was not such a sinister person before.

Augustus smiled but said nothing. As the saying goes, "A red bird is red when it is close to a red bird, and a black bird is black when it is close to a black bird." After fighting with Vega so many times, even the most upright person should learn to be treacherous. In the field of war, insidious, cunning, cruel and vicious have always been commendatory words.

However, what even the Empire and the Holy Dragon Nation did not know was——

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

While the two sides were scheming against each other, they had unknowingly fallen into the trap of the Holy Dynasty.

The Holy Dynasty's plan was very successful.

Taking advantage of repeated defeats and indulging the enemy's mentality, countless victories along the way made the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom let down their guard at some point, and they even completely stopped taking the Dynasty seriously.

And what about the dynasty army at this time?

Xia and Okasos are ready for battle.

A star mage and a holy mage, the Holy Dynasty possesses the most advanced military force in the entire continent, especially Okasos's holy position will become the most important turning point in this war.

And as the Empire, the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Holy Dynasty are ready.

This war that affected the entire continent finally officially began outside the city of Saint Laurent.

The three parties have only one goal:

victory!
