Mage Veigar

Chapter 869 Half a Step Away
all the time.

Whether it is Meru Scimitar, the Holy Dragon King, or Augustus, they all have their own pride in their hearts.

This pride is a reflection of the extreme self-confidence of the superior.

Standing at the top of the pyramid, even if they admitted that Vega was stronger than them, they could not help but feel unconvinced. Among them, Meru Scimitar unilaterally believed that he was not weaker than Vega, but just lacked luck.

If he had Veigar's chance.

He believed that with his own abilities, he could definitely reach Vega's level, or even do better than Vega.

Because Vega is neither good at government affairs nor understands economics, and has only a vague understanding of how to establish a reasonable national system and deal with conflicts between races. He is almost useless except for war.

Compared to Vega.

Meru Scimitar thinks he is too omnipotent.

He understands economics, is good at politics, and has a good understanding of the overall situation. He is both civil and military, and can bend and stretch. Under his rule, all ethnic groups live in harmony and are united.

But it wasn't until now that he truly understood.

The fundamental difference between the strong and the king.

Every strong person has his or her own talent. Based on this talent, the strong people continue to move forward, on the one hand improving their own talents, and on the other hand trying to get rid of their own weaknesses. Therefore, the strong people are also called omnipotent.

They are good at maneuvering and maneuvering, and can do what ordinary people cannot.

Ordinary people will be convinced when they see strong people, as if the strong people are much stronger than ordinary people in every field.

But the King is different.

At first glance, Vega is not even as good as a third-rate official in handling government affairs. He is a complete layman in economics and knows no more than a commoner. He has only a superficial understanding of traditional etiquette. He has even lost face as a member of the royal family and aristocracy several times at some festivals. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person.

This also leads to many people feeling dissatisfied when they see Vega for the first time.

How could such a person achieve such success? In some ways, he and I are simply incomparable.

But if you look into it carefully you will find it.

The reason why the king can be called the king, and the reason why the king is stronger than the omnipotent person who seems to have turned on a cheat, is because the king has never thought about dealing with his own weaknesses, but instead spends all his energy on one point.

Therefore, they are destined not to be strong.

In many ways, ordinary people are inferior to him.

But it doesn’t matter. For him, as long as there is one point that emits the brightest light, that is enough.

This dazzling brilliance is enough to make him the undisputed king in this field.

Therefore, the three of them did not realize until now that Vega would win this war and they would lose.

If they were to switch positions, they would definitely not have the courage to make a bold decision like Veigar. As omnipotent beings, they would consider too many things. In short, they did not have absolute confidence in their decisions in the field of war.

Being omnipotent may mean being totally incompetent.

This move.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

With no intelligence and relying solely on guesswork, there is no one else in the world who would dare to make this decision. Even if the battle situation is pushed back countless times, they still don't think they will make the same decision as Vega. Only Vega, a paranoid man who focuses on war, can have this level of confidence.

This kind of self-confidence is crazier than a madman.

This war finally proved who is the king of war.

It cannot be said that the king is more powerful and greater than the strong. The king should be weaker than the strong in 99% of the cases. However, when the arrogant strong wants to fight against the king in the field that the king is proud of, he will surely bring humiliation upon himself.

Veigar has left.

But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The Holy Dragon King and Augustus stayed awake all night because of their deep frustration. Meru Scimitar was anxious because he was going to die tomorrow, because the greatest regret in life is to die before fulfilling one's ambitions.

Even though he had already surrendered to Vega, he was unwilling to die. If he died, who would protect the future of the Hundred Races Kingdom?

----

Whether you like it or not, dawn will come.

Time comes the next day.

In Lacasia Square, Meru Scimitar was brought up first.

He was tied to a cross in the center of the square, in a world that believed that sinners were burned at the stake as a form of purification for them.

The sun was blazing.

The bright sunlight made Meru Scimitar unable to open his eyes.

At the last end of his life, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his body had become much lighter. The dream of restoring the country that he was obsessed with last night also disappeared at this moment.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The sun seemed less glaring, the world no longer cold, and he had never felt so comfortable.

No, I'm prepared.

He had probably never felt so relaxed in his entire life.

When the fire slowly burned, he suddenly understood...

What leaves the body is nothing but responsibility.

Meru Scimitar was burned to death.

In the square where he was burned to death, a few hours later, the Holy Dragon King and Augustus humiliatingly accepted Vega's enthronement.

This was indeed a huge humiliation for both of them.

But they are at the mercy of others and have no capital to resist.

From the moment they accepted the enthronement, it meant that from today on, the Ancient Kingdom of Holy Dragon officially withdrew from the stage of war, and all the kingdom's ambitions and hegemony vanished in an instant.

Scenes from the past flashed by like a kaleidoscope.

Everything turned into a long sigh.

The simple execution and enthronement ceremony came to an end, but the aftermath of the ceremony had just begun to spread.

The spies from the western nations have reported all this to their masters.

Everything is still as it was in the Vega phenomenon.

As a result, Western countries fell into hesitation, and their determination to fight to the end was not as strong as imagined.

Because let alone sending the officers back to the western country, now they can't even go back. Once Vega's army attacks in a few days, and they are defeated by Vega again, then what awaits them will be the same fate as Meru Scimitar.

If you surrender now.

Not to mention anything else for now, at least you can get the same benefits as a Holy Dragon King.

Who would want to die on the battlefield if they can survive?

Therefore, when the war situation developed to this point, the balance of victory seemed to have completely tipped towards the Jialan Empire.

This battle is likely to directly allow Vega to complete the great cause of unifying the Galan continent. This war may also become a huge turning point recorded in history and talked about by future generations.

But luck never seems to be on Veigar's side.

Just when they were only half a step away from unifying the Jialan Continent, an accident finally happened.
