Mage Veigar

Chapter 683 Escape

The Jialan Empire won a great victory.

The coalition forces lost nearly one million troops.

And on the night of the great victory of the Jialan Empire, more than 160 million defeated soldiers of the coalition forces began to flee back to the west overnight. They seemed to be so scared that they dared not stay in the East for a single second.

The news spread across the entire Jialan Continent like wildfire the next day.

Such a result was beyond the expectations of almost all Western countries, and even several major Eastern countries were frightened.

Although they thought about what cards Vega had to win the war, they did not expect that Vega would win the war in a head-on battle, in an upright and fair manner.

Moreover, the news that Veigar possesses a divine mage has attracted strong attention.

This is the most shocking thing for the entire continent.

Because a star-level mage is enough to make them fearful, and now besides Xia, the Jialan Empire actually has a god-level mage who is beyond the star level, stronger than the saint level, and at the top?
How to fight the next war?
For the first time, the leaders of various countries felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

I thought that this time I could wipe out Vega from the Galan Continent and let his glory end on the west coast of the dynasty.

But now it seems that this is not the battle to end the glory, but the battle for the rise of the new king.

After this battle, who would dare to underestimate the newly rising Jialan Empire?

At least the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom have temporarily given up the idea of ​​continuing their march toward the west coast.

Foster and Augustus chose to remain stationed on the east coast and keep their troops on standby. The troops in the eastern part of the empire retreated back to their own territory overnight, fearing that Vega would destroy him after returning from the upstream areas.

The victory of this battle undoubtedly announced the beginning of a new legend.

Except for the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom's divine mages who did not dare to attack, Celis Rodney and Tanier Rheinberg took advantage of this favorable situation and launched a fierce attack, which made the King of the Principality of Baya hesitate.

"Everyone, do you understand the situation?"

In the meeting hall of the imperial palace in the capital city of Surenhuo, Grand Duke Baya asked a group of ministers: "Although we are at a disadvantage in the current war situation, the enemy's logistics are already scarce, and they will definitely not be able to take over our entire territory in a short period of time. It will not be so easy for them to destroy us, but..."

"Your Majesty, we understand the situation."

A minister said, "A few days ago, Vega Saint Laurent led an army of 260 and defeated the 100 million Western coalition forces at the cost of zero casualties, annihilating more than million enemies, and frightened the coalition forces to flee back to the West overnight. What you are worried about is that Vega Saint Laurent will lead his army to meet with Silis and wipe us out in one fell swoop, right?"

"That's what I'm worried about."

Grand Duke Baya looked a little unhappy. "According to intelligence, the Jialan Army on the west coast used the legendary divine magic. This can also directly prove that the Jialan Empire is now full of talents. In terms of marching and fighting, Vega Saint Laurent alone is enough to match the staff of a country, not to mention that they have incorporated the old members of the kingdom. In terms of high-level military power, the star magician and the divine magician are enough to match the magicians of a superpower. If a war really breaks out, with our current strength, we will definitely lose."

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Jialan Empire on the west coast is in a state of disrepair and is unable to join forces with Qilis to launch an expedition against us."

A young military staff officer suggested: "We can mobilize the Western Expeditionary Force again before the enemy attacks and directly destroy the army here."

"What you said makes sense."

A general also suggested: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. We must do our best to eliminate the army attacking us before Vega Saint Laurent on the west coast comes to his senses, otherwise we will miss the best opportunity."

Everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

For these officials, their foundations are all in the East, and they have to protect their own interests no matter what the cost.

"Stupid! Unbelievably stupid!"

Suddenly, a roar came from outside the hall. It was Aiden Gary who was on the expedition to the west. "You short-sighted people, do you want to destroy the Principality of Baya for your own benefit? It's right for you to come back in person this time!"

After the words fell, no one dared to step forward to answer them. The officials who had previously suggested that Grand Duke Baya should go all out to attack Silis immediately retreated to the back, because the hostility displayed by Aiden Gary was no joke. They even thought that if they dared to oppose the previous sentence, they would be killed on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Grand Duke Baya quickly tried to smooth things over: "Your Excellency did not even tell me that you were coming back from the west, so I could go out of the city to greet you personally."

"You are welcome, Your Majesty."

Aiden bowed to Grand Duke Baya and said, "I also heard the news that Vega Saint Laurent defeated the 260 million coalition forces of the Western countries on the Roya Plain. I gave up the battle immediately and rushed back from the West. I want to give you a suggestion."

"What advice would require your Excellency to take so much trouble?"

Grand Duke Baya became curious. As the commander-in-chief of the Western battlefield, he actually gave up the battle in the West without authorization and hurried back to the East. This suggestion must be of great importance, which made everyone present pay great attention to it.

"First of all, I would like to thank Your Majesty for taking me in."

Aiden Gary took a deep breath and said, "Secondly, I guarantee with my life that every word I say next will be for the future of the Principality of Baya. Your Majesty, please do not question my loyalty."

"Without you, there would be no principality today. I believe in you."

Grand Duke Baya gave an affirmative answer. Without Aiden, how could he have such a huge foundation in the West, and it would be even more impossible for him to make the Western countries fear him so much as a small new force.

"I suggest you again that you give all your territory to the Jialan Empire right now and give up the East!"

As soon as Aiden Gary finished speaking, the entire court exploded.

An old official shouted angrily: "Traitor! Traitor! Our soldiers are still able to fight, and our people are still looking forward to it, but you want us to hand over our land to the enemy? What a joke!"

"That's right! I can't agree to this kind of thing!"

"We originally went on an expedition to the West just to leave a way out. Now that our territory is still there, how can we put the cart before the horse?"

"..."

The ministers were outraged and scoffed at Aiden Gary's suggestions.

"A bunch of idiots."

Aiden Gary ignored these people and stared at Grand Duke Baya.

Now is the time for the king to make a decision.

There is gain only when there is sacrifice. In Aiden Gary's opinion, the Principality already has the foundation to transfer power. The huge assets in the West are enough for the Principality to rise rapidly there. These assets in the East are simply a burden.

the most important is.

With Vega's current national strength, it would be difficult for him to launch an expedition to the West in a short period of time.

Therefore, instead of continuing to waste time in the East, it is better to use this time to grow into a towering tree as tall as Vaigar in the West, and find a way to restrain the Star Mage and the Divine Mage. There is still a glimmer of hope.

At this moment.

The ministers also stared at Grand Duke Baya, waiting for his final decision.

After all, this time was different from the last time. Last time, they knew that if they didn't leave, they would die, so they agreed to his expedition to the West to open up a retreat for the country. But this time, they didn't want to give up their foundation just because they were at the end of their rope, so they naturally didn't agree.

Therefore, at this time, the king needs to withstand the pressure.
