Mage Veigar

Chapter 813 Core Meeting
Said he was preparing a trump card.

In fact, it is just to increase some armaments and train an elite force that can attack unexpectedly.

Some medium-sized Western countries also do this.

After all, they don't have the same foundation as big countries like Gangti City-State. They don't even have a few high-level mages, let alone higher-level war and star mages. So instead of pursuing those illusory things, it is better to improve the strength of the army.

Especially training a special forces unit can be very effective at critical moments.

That was all Vega had to prepare.

However, compared to some medium-sized countries, the Jialan Empire also has a war airship manufacturing industry.

This is something that other medium-sized countries do not have. They need to import their war airships from big countries, and the big countries impose strict quantity controls on them to prevent medium-sized countries from threatening the status of big countries.

The Air Force is a highly mobile force.

Vega therefore ordered that, within the limits allowed by the economy, most military spending be allocated to the war airship manufacturing industry.

He must build up a large air force before the war comes to ensure his air superiority.

Vega handed over political affairs to Ilo, the training of special forces to the intelligence minister, Celis, and the concentrated training of large forces to Tanier Rheinberg, while he himself was preparing his own personal trump card.

This trump card is his personal strength.

Rather than calling it a trump card, it is better to say that it is a retreat plan prepared in advance.

After the previous battles, Veigar has realized the power of the Star Shadow Mage.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has very few opponents in this world, and the only two war species that can deal with him are also in his hands.

But this is not enough.

Vega was not as optimistic as he had imagined, because the world was so big and full of wonders. With his current strength alone, he did not have the confidence to guarantee that he would survive after failing the war.

Or.

He wasn't sure he could ensure Xia's safety and survive at the same time.

Therefore, improving personal strength is the trump card and retreat that Vega has prepared for himself, and it is also the capital for a comeback after the failure of the war.

The improvement of strength does not rely solely on level.

The level can only make your attack more destructive or your endurance longer. In war, the only way to maximize the conversion of combat effectiveness is to return to high-level magic and high-level combat skills.

He only has the power of arms, but lacks the corresponding combat skills and magic.

In the end, they will just be like the Holy Dragon Envoys of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, powerless against his Holy Combat Skills. If the Holy Dragon Envoys also mastered the Holy Combat Skills, then the situation would be completely different.

need to know.

So far, Veigar has not mastered shadow magic above one star level.

The loss of star magic is one reason, and another reason is that Vega did not pay a huge price to find it.

The world coalition forces are attacking again, and this could be a battle of life and death.

In order to improve his own strength to cope with the next war, or to create a retreat, Vega allocated a large amount of resources to Menno half a month ago and ordered him to increase his efforts to find high-level shadow magic.

Different from the previous small-scale fights.

This time Vega was serious, so he gave Menno considerable authority and launched a vigorous search across the vast territory of the Galan Empire.

In addition to preparing for war in the coming year like the Western countries, Vega held the first pre-war meeting half a year before the second year.

It seems a little too early.

Because autumn will come in three months, and winter will come after autumn, the countries will not be able to complete their war preparations within this year at least, and the earliest they will formally launch the attack will be the end of next spring.

That leaves nine months left.

After such a long time, why hold the first pre-war meeting at this time?

Because Vega has realized the sense of crisis.

He asked the people sitting below, "Next year, the countries of the world will jointly attack our Jialan Empire. The initial estimate is that the time is in late spring. Although there is still a long time, I think it is better to prepare for war sooner rather than later. Do you have any way to fight back?"

Vega turned his gaze towards everyone.

Since it was the first meeting and the main purpose was to seek major strategic guidelines, no other senior officials were invited. Vega only invited the most core and visionary members.

So you can see.

The war-breeding sisters Leia stood behind Vega, Xia and Silis sat at the first seats on the left and right sides, and next to them, except for Menno who was absent due to a special mission, were Iroh, Tanier Rheinberg, Hausmann Christian and others.

After Vega finished speaking.

Tanier Rheinberg, who had already served the Jialan Empire wholeheartedly and regarded the Jialan Empire as his motherland, was the first to offer his opinion. His opinion was as radical as ever: "In my humble opinion, it is better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for death."

Tenniel's style of warfare tended to be radical.

As the general with the most say in the Old Kingdom, the style of the Old Kingdom's battles, big and small, was almost "Tanniel" style. Whether it was actively attacking the empire in the face of internal and external troubles, or starting multi-line wars against the dynasty, it was obviously his suggestion at the time.

In his war philosophy.

The weaker you are, the more proactive you must be. Only in this way can you have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you will just sit and wait for death.

"What are your opinions?"

Vega only asked this question symbolically.

No one answered this question because the only military personnel present were Vega, Tannier, and Hausman.

Yiluo is in charge of government affairs. He is a representative of the conservative faction and will never interfere or make suggestions in areas that he is not good at. As for Xia, she knows neither military affairs nor government affairs. That is why she works day and night to improve her personal strength.

Celis didn't interrupt.

Although she has a strong sense of the overall situation, military affairs are not her forte after all. Her main task is internal affairs rather than external affairs. Therefore, in addition to national affairs, she is in charge of intelligence and controls all officials of the Jialan Empire.

So Vega finally turned his attention to Hausmann Christian.

As a traitor to the Empire, he had completely torn his face with the Empire in the Empire's Rebel War. He had undoubtedly proved his loyalty to the Galan Empire. Coupled with his talents, Vega was very much looking forward to his proposal.

Houseman didn't keep it a secret.

He understood his situation. If the Jialan Empire was destroyed, he would have no other way out except death.

Therefore, now it is not a matter of eating and waiting to die, but a question of the possibility that he will not even get to eat and will go straight to death. At this time, he understands that he must do everything he can to help the Jialan Empire overcome the difficulties.

So in this meeting, he and Tenniel only gave rough differences in strategic direction.

Hausmann Christian took out a very detailed battle plan and handed it to Vega.
