Mage Veigar

Chapter 855 Testing Loyalty
In fact.

It was not at all as Meru Scimitar had imagined. For the Kingdom of Galan, the existence of the United Kingdom of Hundred Races was a thorn in the side.

Quite the opposite.

Because compared to the powerful Jialan Empire, the United Kingdom of Hundred Races is as weak as an ant.

If Vega really wanted to destroy the United Kingdom of Hundred Races, he wouldn't need so much. An army group, an air corps, and a high-level armed force would be enough to destroy the United Kingdom of Hundred Races several times.

In other words.

The two are not even on the same level.

Just like a lion would not fight with an ant, Vega had no intention of attacking a force that was not even as powerful as an ant. So after receiving the letter for help from the United Kingdom of Hundred Races, Vega thought of providing support instead of just watching the other party being swallowed up.

Of course, this also includes the geographical location of the United Kingdom of Hundred Races, which happens to be one of the breakthrough points for the Western countries, which forced him to send troops to block this breakthrough.

In Vega's plan.

This war is mainly a defensive war, because the war situation in the East has just stabilized and domestic conflicts have not been resolved in a short period of time. Therefore, the top priority is to block this Western offensive and then counterattack the West after the situation stabilizes in a few years.

If we want to defend, we cannot do without the natural barrier of the Jialan Mountains.

The Jialan Mountains span from north to south and cut off from east to west. It is a super-large mountain range that divides the Jialan continent.

Whether the East attacks the West or the West attacks the East, they cannot avoid this mountain range.

There are countless breakthroughs along this mountain range.

The former empires, kingdoms, dynasties, vassal states... and major Western powers all built cities, checkpoints, and fortresses in places that were most vulnerable to breakthroughs... to resist each other's attacks.

As long as the level exists.

Then it would be impossible for the East and West sides to easily invade each other's territory.

Now the East is unified by the Jialan Empire.

Therefore, the pressure of defense is of course enormous.

If in the past, the West wanted to invade the East on a large scale, it would definitely concentrate its forces in one place, concentrate its firepower to break through one of the checkpoints and set foot on the Eastern territory.

But it's different now.

After learning that Vega possessed the War Seed, they certainly could not gather all their troops together and let Vega use the War Seed to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, so each country had to divide its troops and launch a multi-line attack to invade the East.

This method is used to restrain the war.

There are only two types of war, which means you can only deal with two of them. As for where to use them, you can only leave it to fate.

Therefore, the Jialan Empire needs to defend almost all important checkpoints.

This means that although the army of the Jialan Empire seems extremely powerful, with five million people, it is actually a bit stretched to defend the entire Jialan Mountains.

But five million is barely enough.

As long as the checkpoints are firmly occupied and the enemies dare not gather together, Vega has a 5% chance of keeping the Western countries out.

But just as Vega was about to send troops to support the Hundred Races Kingdom, he also received a secret letter from Celis.

Qi Lisi is responsible for the intelligence work inside and outside the empire. Thanks to her outstanding talents, the intelligence system has actually penetrated into some Western countries. Although it is only some small countries, and big countries such as the Free Alliance cannot be penetrated, it can now bring a lot of intelligence to the Jialan Empire.

This letter is defined as top-secret intelligence.

This successfully attracted Veigar's attention. He pushed Meru Scimitar's letter aside and read the intelligence carefully.

What he didn't expect was that Qilis's information was also about Meru Scimitar.

It was a letter sent by Meru Scimitar to the Western Countries to prove his innocence to them. The letter elaborated the ins and outs of the matter and repeatedly stated that he offered the contract to confuse Vega Saint Laurent and make him believe in his loyalty instead of betraying the Western Countries.

Looking at the letter, Vega's brows furrowed more and more.

Meru Scimitar never dreamed that the letter he had sent to explain to the Western countries would fall into Vega's hands. If one letter of explanation was sent to one country, the risk of exposure was only 1%. If a total of letters of explanation were sent to nearly countries at the same time, the risk of exposure would increase exponentially.

With the current intelligence network of the Jialan Empire.

It is almost easy to get one of the twenty letters.

Meru Scimitar obviously didn't pay any attention to these details. Having never experienced any major storms, he didn't know that success or failure often lies in the details.

After reading the letter, Vega fell into deep thought.

It was hard to tell whether this Meru Scimitar was loyal to him or to the West.

Because even if this letter was obtained, it might be that Meru Scimitar used it to confuse the West and planned to infiltrate the West again for the sake of the Kingdom of Galan.

To be honest, Veigar still found it hard to believe that Meru Scimitar was going to sacrifice his only daughter.

Although the imperial family is the most ruthless, the emperor Old Scimitar only has one son and one daughter.

Of course, being completely defenseless is not an option.

Veigar has begun to doubt Meru Scimitar.

Therefore, Veigar decided to use some means to test the loyalty of Meru Scimitar.

The method is very simple, which is to cancel the support plan and then wait for Meru Scimitar to come.

If Meru Scimitar confesses about the letter of explanation at that time, it will prove that he really intends to sacrifice his life for the Kingdom of Galan and intends to infiltrate the enemy.

If you still don't confess this letter of explanation...

This would directly prove that the letter of explanation sent by Meru Scimitar to the West was sincere, and that they had been loyal to him in public, but had already rebelled against him in private.

Time flies by.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During the past half month, Vega neither replied to the United Kingdom of Hundred Races nor sent any reinforcements, as if he had not received Meru Scimitar's request at all. This made Meru Scimitar, who was ready to be a "running dog" wholeheartedly panic.

He has lost the trust of the West.

If Vega doesn't care about their old friendship, then his Kingdom of Hundred Races will be completely finished.

Without caring about anything else, he sent another letter asking for help to Vega. This time, the tone of the letter was extremely humble, acting more like a vassal than a vassal state.

However, in the letter, Meru Scimitar still did not mention the previous letter of explanation sent to the West.

Now we can make a judgment that this Meru Scimitar has already hidden his rebellious nature.

As a result, a strong murderous intent flashed in Vega's eyes.
