Mage Veigar

Chapter 714: Sword Pointing West
Follow the example of the Principality of Baya.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom became the second country to point its sword towards the western land.

The Holy Dragon King is undoubtedly a king who regards dignity as his life. Before leading his army to the Galan Continent, he promised his people that he would inherit the will of his ancestors, lead them away from the barren land of the Dragon Islands, and let them return to the Galan Continent.

He did, at first.

He led his army to destroy the United Kingdom, one of the great Eastern powers, within three months. At the same time, he relocated some civilians from the Dragon Islands to the kingdom's land with distinct four seasons, where they lived a comfortable life for a long time.

even.

They also launched a war against the empire, which had played all its cards, and was defeated step by step. He was also regarded as a wise ruler by the subjects of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The era of sub-dragons was about to reach its peak in this era.

But the good times are not long.

After Vega joined the war, the Holy Dragon Nation began to lose ground. In one battle, the capital, Holy Dragon City, even fell. Even their way home was cut off. They were forced to the City of Everlook, waiting like a kingdom for a glimmer of hope that would never be seen.

It seemed like God was playing a joke on them.

Veigar's disappearance allowed the Arlongs to make a comeback. After Veigar's return, he was targeted by the whole world. In such a desperate situation, even gods couldn't turn the tide, right? That was the World Alliance!
The Holy Dragon King also thought that Vega was doomed.

It's a pity that Vega Saint Laurent is still Vega Saint Laurent after all.

Using his unparalleled war talent and his absolutely invincible divine magic, he announced to the world the rise of a new king.

Now, he was backed into a desperate situation again.

Naturally, all the responsibility for the mistakes made by Augustus and others lies with him.

His subjects no longer considered him a wise king, because they could still enjoy peace in the Dragon Islands, but after moving to the mainland with great force, they were greeted with only war and suffering, so much so that now they only want to return to their hometown.

The army no longer believed it could win.

Having retreated before fighting twice, the soldiers had completely despaired of their king and country. Now, when they saw the flag with a sword and a staff intersecting together, they no longer had the courage to fight. They even began to doubt whether the human race was nobler than themselves.

So whether it was soldiers or subjects.

The word "go home" appears in everyone's mind.

That's right.

Everyone hopes that the Holy Dragon King will order a retreat to the safe Dragon Islands.

But how could the Holy Dragon King, having used up his trump card, be willing to return to his hometown and face his subjects in defeat?

In his eyes, this kind of humiliation was even more serious than death. He would rather die on the Galan Continent than return to the Dragon Islands in disgrace with his army and subjects, so he made such a decision.

Let some people go home.

This group of people was composed of relocated civilians, young and middle-aged officials headed by Palitzer, and the most elite soldiers.

At the same time, let another part of the people stay.

This group is composed of older senior officers like Augustus, as well as ordinary soldiers such as the Red Dragon Legion.

The return of the first group of talents can preserve the hope of the sub-dragon race, and the second group of mediocre people will naturally bet their lives on him, and finally have a life-and-death contest with Veigar. If he can defeat Veigar, he will have the opportunity to take back everything he has lost and prove again that he is not an incompetent king.

But the Holy Dragon King understood very well.

If they fight head-on, he will definitely not be a match for Vega.

In recent days, he has been humbly studying the war methods of various countries, and finally found a great inspiration from the history of the rise of the Principality of Baya - gather sand to build a tower, unite the weak to attack the strong!

The ants kill the elephant.

Even the tallest elephant will be afraid of countless ants. If Vega is compared to an elephant, does it mean that by combining the strength of all forces, Vega can be brought down from the altar? No one knows the final answer, but this is indeed the only way out for the weak.

This is true.

If you don't have extraordinary wisdom and absolute power, then you can only rely on quantitative changes to cause qualitative changes, and use absolute numbers to fight your way out. This is the path of fools.

There are no tricks.

There is no fairness.

Abandon all dignity and pride, and use absolute numbers to create victory for the fools.

If we say that smart people are good at using little to achieve great results.

Then the fool's method is definitely not to learn the mysterious methods from the wise man, but to foolishly add one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million pounds to the thousand pounds... and accumulate the number until the wise man can no longer move it!
This is the strategy of the Principality of Baya.

War feeds war.

Constantly swallowing up the weak, growing itself into a behemoth that no one can ignore.

And now this strategy has been recognized by the Holy Dragon King.

He hoped to shift the focus to the West while the Galan Empire was in a state of disrepair and unable to launch a war of aggression. After unifying the entire West, he would use absolute numbers to engage in a battle between fools and wise men with Vega.

This is the only way out that the Holy Dragon King believes.

Because he believed that he had more advantages than the Principality of Baya.

If the Empire's military strength ranks first in terms of numbers, then the quality of the Holy Dragon Kingdom's military strength can definitely be said to be the best on the continent.

Therefore, even a small country like the Principality of Baya, which has neither quantity nor quality, can thrive in the West. Can't the elite troops of the Holy Dragon Kingdom do the same? In the entire Jialan Continent, the Holy Dragon King is only afraid of Vega.

So under the will of the Holy Dragon King, the Holy Dragon Kingdom took action.

Excellent talents and civilians began to be transferred back to the Dragon Islands. Except for the sub-dragons themselves and Aiden Gary, no one would remember the route to the Dragon Islands. The young and strong men of the sub-dragons returned to the Dragon Islands to continue their hope, while the old, weak, sick and mediocre were left on the mainland to prepare for a desperate fight.

at the same time.

The Holy Dragon Kingdom began to recruit and organize human armies, and its focus began to slowly shift toward the cities in the west. It was only waiting for the right time to cross the Jialan Mountains and officially take action against the western countries.

This matter is extremely secretive.

Be it Vega, the Empire, or the Western countries, none of them knew anything about this.

But even if Vega knew, he didn't plan to do anything.

He now wishes someone would make the muddy water in the West even more muddy, because he would not forget that there were still two divine magics hidden in the western city-state of Gangti that had not been used. Unless the two magics were forced out, he would never dare to attack the city-state of Gangti easily.

of course.

The war in the West is still too far away for Vega.

Not to mention the West, now he doesn't even have the ability to launch an aggressive war.

Because after countless wars, the people in the old dynasty had become destitute and all parts of the country were in ruins. If they were to rely on peaceful development, it would probably take about 30 years to restore the original economic level.

But Veigar couldn't wait that long.

Therefore, in Vega's plan, in a year at the shortest and three years at the longest, he will definitely launch another war of aggression, relying on plundering to force growth and use war to directly raise the overall level.

But before that, there is one more thing to do——

Crowned as the true king!
