Mage Veigar

Chapter 785: Velenk City
All the way west.

Vega has entered the Galan Mountains.

Logically speaking, now is the best time to assassinate.

Because the Jialan Mountains are full of peaks and shrouded in clouds and mist, whether it is an ambush by a large force or a small-scale sneak attack, people in the dark have a very favorable advantage.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

These four words can summarize the current situation very vividly.

It takes about a week for Vega to cross the Galan Mountains. If you miss a week and want to do it later, it won't be so easy.

Therefore, Vega's guards have been on high alert.

However, Vega, who was involved, was unaware of it.

It would be better to say that he was looking forward to the assassinations in various countries so that he could take the opportunity to try out the power of his newly acquired Infinity Blade. Now he was so bored that he almost lay on the ground and counted the stars.

Although Vega was looking forward to it.

But as a battle-hardened general and the king of a country, he knew that it was almost impossible to encounter an assassination on the way to the city-state of Gangti. This boring torture would probably continue until he arrived at the city-state of Gangti.

The reason is very simple.

He is on his way to attend a summit of various countries.

This summit of nations was initiated by the Free Alliance and the City-State of Gangti. If any country launches an assassination attempt against a country attending the summit at this time, it would be tantamount to giving no face to both the Free Alliance and the City-State of Gangti.

It's not just Veigar.

If any country attending the meeting is assassinated on the way, the Free Alliance and the City-State of Gangti must take the initiative to hold the assassin accountable, and any forces that disrupt the meeting before it begins will inevitably be hostile to both countries.

Especially at this time when the whole world wants a ceasefire.

Even the empire would not dare to cause trouble before the meeting. Once they were regarded as troublemakers by the two host countries, the two countries would inevitably unite to resist their proposals at the meeting, and the war would probably break out again.

Therefore, in Vega's opinion.

It is almost impossible to be assassinated along the way.

The Empire, the Holy Dragon Kingdom...the time for these forces to really take action should be after the meeting ends, not before it begins.

As soon as the meeting is over, everything is settled.

Then even if the empire launched an assassination attempt, the two countries would turn a blind eye.

This can be said to be an unspoken rule.

As the head of a country, you must be familiar with the rules in detail. If you don’t understand the rules, you won’t be able to play the game.

Therefore, Vega could only move forward along the way with the mentality of sightseeing. At the same time, on the way, Vega had begun to think about how to make the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Principality of Baya stand on his side and jointly resist the ceasefire proposals of the West and the Empire.

But unfortunately, there was nothing Vega could do.

So far, he hasn't figured out even the slightest clue, which is probably the most fatal point.

If the countries around the world really reach a ceasefire agreement at the conference, it will be too late.

Therefore, as the journey got closer, Vega gradually began to feel anxious.

"Which country's territory are we in now?"

After leaving the Jialan Mountains and walking for about another day, they could see a city in the distance, and Vega asked this question.

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Principality of Baya."

The guard who came back from gathering intelligence reported to Vega: "There is a major city called Vilenk ahead. It is now considered the heart of the eastern city by the current Baya Principality. There are about two army groups and two air corps stationed here. At the same time, there is news that the king of the Baya Principality came here from the capital two days ago and has not left yet."

"Grand Duke Baya is here too?"

Vega showed an interesting expression and said, “Speed ​​up. If you’re lucky, you won’t have to sleep outdoors tonight.”

"Your Majesty..." The head of the Royal Guards hesitated and said, "For your safety, I suggest that you take a detour. After all, there are two army groups and two air corps stationed in the city of Vilenk. If it is not favorable to you, I am afraid that I will not be able to guarantee your safety."

"Don't worry, the Principality of Baya will not take action against us."

Vega said with great certainty: "If I'm not mistaken, Grand Duke Baya is already waiting for us at the city gate. Keeping the host waiting for a long time is not what a qualified guest should do."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Under Vega's order, the convoy accelerated.

A few hours later, Veigar arrived at the city gate.

Everything happened just as Vega had said. Grand Duke Baya indeed came to the city gate with his ministers to greet him.

"Your Majesty Vega Saint Laurent, how are you?"

"Greetings, His Majesty Baya."

Grand Duke Baya's hand and Vega's hand clasped together tightly.

The two of them were like old friends who had met again after a long separation. They exchanged greetings for more than ten minutes before entering the city.

That evening.

Grand Duke Baya held a grand welcome dinner for Vega and entertained him warmly.

The banquet lasted until the early morning.

Vega was very polite during the meeting, and did not act arrogant because of his status. This left a very deep impression on everyone present, because their own king had never treated him like a friend.

"If only this were our king."

"Then the king will surely understand our thoughts, right?"

"As expected of the king of the greatest nation."

"..."

Although they did not say it out loud, the ministers present at the time could not help but have these thoughts in their minds.

This is understandable. After so many years of training, Vega's actions have become flawless.

He didn't want to be like the protagonist in a biographical novel, who had all the skills and acted like he was the best in the world and had enemies all over the world.

Leaving a good impression on the ministers of other countries would give him a better chance of persuading them to surrender in the future. Although he was not sure whether he could really use these people, all he had to do was say a few nice words, put on a smiling face, and give them enough respect. He would not lose out on this deal.

Besides, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.

Half of these people have only been loyal to the Principality of Baya in recent years. They have no faith or loyalty to speak of. Of course, at this time, they will want to follow whoever treats them well.

Although it's not as exaggerated as immediately pledging allegiance to Vega.

But Vega's actions have planted a seed in their hearts, and that is enough.

This made Grand Duke Baya, who was sitting in the main seat, feel a little embarrassed.

He somewhat regretted holding this welcome party just to show off his current achievements.

After all, it is not an honorable thing to be taught how to be a qualified king by the king of another country in your own home court.

"As expected of Vega Saint Laurent."

After the banquet, Grand Duke Baya sighed and finally let go of his emotions.

He knew that now was not the time to worry about these things. The purpose of waiting here this time was not just to welcome Vega and thank him for his guidance.

His real purpose is...

Find out why Vega specifically attended this meeting, and then make the choice of whether to fight or not.
