Mage Veigar

Chapter 676 Conquering the World
surrender?

This word does not even exist in Veigar's dictionary.

So he answered without hesitation: "Surrender? I'm sorry, I won't do that."

“Then may I ask, Commander, why do you want to boost others’ morale and destroy your own prestige?” A captain had an unwilling look on his face. He did not understand Vega’s behavior at all. What good would it do to belittle them before starting a war?

"I think you seem to have made a mistake."

Vega continued in a calm tone, "I just want you to recognize the cold reality. This war is different from the previous ones. Even I cannot guarantee victory. It is not too late for you to withdraw from this losing war. I will never blame you. But even if I am the only one left, I will fight to the death."

"Excuse me, Commander, why are you fighting this meaningless war?"

Everyone looked at Vega, their eyes full of confusion. It was a war that was clearly doomed to fail, so why did Vega still want to fight?
"why?"

"Do I still need to ask?"

Vega's tone suddenly became crazy: "Is it a question of choice to become a gorgeous firework that illuminates the Galan Continent in an instant, or to live a mediocre life and be forgotten by history?"

"Everyone!"

Veigar's tone became louder: "Please understand one thing. This time we are not against the Empire or the Holy Dragon Nation, but against the world! In the entire Jialan Continent, from ancient times to the present, who has had this honor?"

"Everyone, this is a holy war!"

Veigar looked at everyone and said, "If we win, we will be remembered by history. If we lose, we will still be remembered by history. I have lived for almost sixteen years, but if I can die in this war, it will definitely be more meaningful than living a mediocre life for another hundred years."

"Come on, please make your choice——"

Veigar stretched out his hand and said, "Will you withdraw from the war, or will you join me in conquering the world?"

Quiet!

The conference hall fell into a dead silence where one could hear a pin drop.

There is no doubt that Vega has placed the cold reality in front of them and left them two options.

A death like a firework shining on the Jialan Continent, may end up with nothing left.

The other is to die in mediocrity, but this also means they lose the opportunity to truly become enemies of the world.

The silence continued.

A minute later, a soldier finally made his choice.

A new soldier was the first to lay down his weapon in full view of everyone, which meant that he chose to withdraw from the war.

This was not surprising. Compared to fighting a losing war and then dying like fireworks, most soldiers would rather stay alive. Therefore, under the leadership of this soldier, some soldiers gradually laid down their weapons.

"Let's go, Landis."

A lieutenant put down his weapon, pulled the lieutenant next to him and said, "Give up this war. Your parents are still waiting for you to return. You can't die here."

"No! I won't go back!"

Lieutenant Landis said, "The commander-in-chief once said that a life without even one adventure is boring. At least there should be something in this life that can stir up some waves in the heart. I have lived a mediocre life for 29 years, and there is nothing that I can be proud of. Whenever I think about this kind of life continuing for ten, fifty, or a lifetime, I am terrified from the bottom of my heart."

"Now...it's time to change the way you live."

In another company, a captain who was about 40 years old said the same thing: "Silingno boy, go back and tell my children that his father is a hero, a hero who wants to conquer the world."

"..."

"Quit? You stupid mediocre person, this is definitely a great opportunity to make a lot of money." "..."

"Believe me, the commander is invincible, and this war will definitely be won."

"..."

"Go home? Are you kidding? We are going to conquer the world!"

"..."

"This is my home, and I want to defend my home."

"..."

In every corner of the conference hall, thoughts of withdrawal or fighting were constantly colliding.

So after half an hour, about 100,000 people withdrew from the war, but what was incredible was that there were still 400,000 people left to participate in this war that was impossible to win.

Why is that?
Because Vega has painted a big pie for them - conquer the world!
This is a grand and even fantastic goal, but there is no shortage of crazy people in this world, just as people with high moral standards can sacrifice themselves for others, fanatics can die for their beliefs, and speculators can even go to the gallows for profit...

They have all sorts of reasons for staying.

But there is no doubt that these were choices they made themselves, and Vega's goal was achieved.

In Vega's opinion.

Human beings, only when they fight for their ideals and beliefs, will they be willing to sacrifice their own lives and burst out with strength that ordinary people cannot imagine. It is because of the same dream that they will not retreat a step; it is because of the same goal that they can fight to the death.

This is more effective than any verbal encouragement or any supervision by force.

Why do terrorist organizations exist in the world? Why does a small organization dare to be an enemy of the country and the world? The reason is simply to implement the beliefs in their hearts.

Vega grasped everyone's psychology.

Now, the people gathered here are truly crazy.

If such a group of lunatics survive this war against the world, how will they grow?
No one can know the final answer.

But Vega knew that it would be a truly invincible army.

He raised the cross sword that symbolized glory: "I am very happy with your choice, but there is no time left for us. Our journey has already begun. It has never been our style to sit and wait for death. Now I declare-"

"Everyone march!"

Vega pointed his sword to the north: "We must first let the 500 million coalition forces from the Western countries know that this is the East. They have arrived in the Eastern land. The moment they stepped over the Jialan Mountains, they have already stepped into hell!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

Under Vega's command, 300,000 troops took advantage of the Western coalition's advance and took the initiative to launch a war to the north.

The coming of a king cannot go unnoticed.

That greeting letter was indeed intentional on the part of Vega.

Because in his opinion, the ascension of a new king must give his subordinates enough confidence and at the same time give his enemies enough fear. How can a king who cannot make his subordinates trust and proud, a king who cannot make his enemies fear and respect him, be called a king?
So the only option is war.

Nothing can better announce the return of the king than a war against the whole world.
