Chapter 870 The unexpected

Twenty days ago.

West of Galan, the Principality of Baya.

Grand Duke Baya, who had been anxiously waiting for the war report from the East, finally received the war report he wanted twenty days ago.

This battle report made him feel frightened from the bottom of his heart.

It goes without saying that the content of the war report is about the Western countries being trapped in the encirclement of the Jialan Empire, with no way out and no way out.

In the following period, battle reports from the East came in like snowflakes.

These battle reports were worse than the last. The coalition forces of the Western countries seemed to have been forced into a desperate situation. In particular, the armies in three directions suffered overwhelming air strikes from the Galan Air Force, losing nearly half of their troops. This made Grand Duke Baya feel terrified from the bottom of his heart. Even though he had never been to the battlefield in person, he seemed to be able to smell the thick smell of gunpowder.

"General Aiden, everything is just as you expected."

Grand Duke Baya's face was still pale, and it took a long time for him to regain his color: "If it weren't for the general's insistence, I'm afraid that I would have been trapped in the siege of the Jialan Army with my army, and ended up with the same fate as other countries."

There was gratitude in Grand Duke Baya's eyes.

Before, he had the idea of ​​hiding his bow and kicking Aiden Gary away.

But at this moment, he was sincerely glad that he had not fallen out with Aiden Gary. Aiden Gary's potential might be even more amazing than he had imagined. Just because he was able to see through Vega's thoughts this time, it meant that Aiden Gary was definitely on par with Vega, right...?
But what happened next was something he never expected.

Because he saw deep disbelief and fear on Aiden Gary's face.

Grand Duke Baya asked in confusion: "General Aiden, are you okay? Didn't you see through Vega Saint Laurent's plan? Why do you have such an expression?"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong."

Aiden Gary denied it, "I have never seen through his plan. If I had really seen through his plan, I would have informed other countries long ago, and other countries would not have fallen into the encirclement of Jialan."

"So what are you doing..."

Grand Duke Baya was somewhat unconvinced.

The reason why he didn't fall into the trap was because of Aiden Gary's reminder.

Aiden Gary realized Grand Duke Baya's doubts, so he said, "Your Majesty, I just said before that with Vega Saint Laurent's ability, it would be impossible for his country to be destroyed so easily. Even if he was caught off guard by the Western countries, he would have a way to remedy the situation. But I never thought that our plan was seen through from the beginning. Based on our plan, the other party set up a huge trap for the countries on the Eastern Expedition."

It was precisely because he didn't see through it that Aiden Gary was terrified.

Because he knew that things like luck and intuition could save him once, but they could never be relied upon.

This time he was able to escape with his instincts.

But his luck would run out one day, and when that day came, he would die.

In this world, only strength is immortal, and everything else is just icing on the cake.

"Anyway, thanks to the general, we didn't suffer any losses this time."

Grand Duke Baya let out a long sigh and was once again grateful for all this.

Unlike Grand Duke Baya, Aiden Gary obviously has a more distant vision than Grand Duke Baya: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's time to be thankful now. If all the Western countries are destroyed in the East, do you think our Principality of Baya can survive for a long time?" "Please try to imagine it."

Aiden Gary pointed in the direction of the map and said, "When the entire Jialan Continent falls into the territory of the Jialan Empire, only our Baya Principality stands alone on the continent. Do you think we have any other options besides surrendering?"

The lips and teeth are interdependent, and Grand Duke Baya was dumbfounded.

Just as Aiden Gary said, once all the Western countries are destroyed in the East, there will be no force in the world that can resist the power of the Jialan Empire. What can they, a small Principality of Baya, use to fight against the Lord of the East?

Do not!
By then, he can be called the King of Galan, right?
Grand Duke Baya said with some disbelief: "Even if the Western countries are surrounded by the Jialan Kingdom, as long as they fight to the end, at worst they can break through with their officers and part of the troops and return to the West to keep the spark to continue fighting, right?"

"Your Majesty, you underestimate Vega Saint Laurent."

Aiden Gary said with absolute certainty: "If the Empire's three million troops had fought to the death, the outcome would still be unknown. But in the end, Vega defeated the Empire's three million troops without any effort, and with just a few pieces of waste paper, he easily took down the entire Empire. Not only did both sides not suffer losses, but their strength skyrocketed unprecedentedly."

"in short."

Aiden Gary said more confidently: "Even if the Western countries have the heart to return home even if they die, they will inevitably be disintegrated by Vega Saint Laurent as time goes by. It is better to say that controlling people's hearts is his forte. Swords are easy to defend, but people's hearts are hard to predict. It is a pity that we have not found a way to defend against psychological attacks so far."

"This, this, this, this..."

Grand Duke Baya immediately became nervous: "General Aiden, what should we do next?"

"Send troops to rescue!"

Aiden Gary gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we must open up a retreat channel for the western countries, help them retreat to the west, and preserve the spark of resistance against the Jialan Empire."

“Is this possible?”

“Maybe it’s difficult, maybe it’s easy.”

Aiden Gary brought Grand Duke Baya to the sand table and pointed to the battle situation in the east and said, "The army of the Jialan Empire has almost exhausted all its forces to encircle the western countries and prevent them from breaking through."

"If you take care of one thing, you will lose the other."

"In other words, the Jialan Kingdom does not have enough troops to stop our reinforcements. Even if we lead our troops there openly, they will be powerless to stop us."

"Because once the troops in the encirclement are withdrawn to stop us, the Western countries can take advantage of the emptiness of the encirclement and break through. So as long as we go to rescue, we will definitely succeed."

Grand Duke Baya couldn't believe it was as easy as Aiden Gary said: "So what's the difficulty?"

"The difficulty lies in the determination and timing of the countries to return home."

Aiden Gary frowned and said, "According to the supply of the countries, they can hold out for at most 20 days. If we send troops now, we may be able to catch up. But if the countries cannot hold out to the end, then all our efforts will be wasted. It is even possible that the countries will collapse before we arrive, and even the gods cannot save them."

"But no matter what, we must go to this battle."

Aiden Gary said solemnly to Grand Duke Baya: "Your Majesty, please order the troops to be dispatched. I am willing to lead the army to the east to preserve the last spark of resistance against Vega Saint Laurent for the Jialan Continent."

"The future of the continent is in the hands of the general."

Grand Duke Baya solemnly saluted Aiden Gary.
