Mage Veigar

Chapter 871 Ultimatum
The flag of the Principality of Baya fluttered in the wind.

An army of more than 300,000 troops slowly advanced towards the east.

Grand Duke Baya stood on a high place and watched the army disappear over the horizon.

This battle was a huge responsibility, and the hopes of the entire West rested on Aiden Gary. If Aiden Gary could open up a retreat path for the nations, then the West could keep the spark of fighting against the Jialan Empire.

If in the end they fail.

Then when General Vega Saint Laurent comes to Jialan, there will be no force in the entire Jialan continent that can resist him. At that time, his Baya Principality will probably be forced to surrender and become the last force to witness the coronation of the King of Jialan.

Hence this battle.

Whether it is for the Principality of Baya or for the Galan Continent, this is a battle with no way out.

Aiden Gary, the commander-in-chief at the front of the army, also understood this.

This is his last chance for revenge and to prove himself.

The scene where he was fooled by Vega on the West Coast, forced into exile overseas, and almost died at the hands of the Asian dragon species is still vivid in his mind.

He would never forget the oath he had sworn to defeat Vega, prove his ability to the Galan Continent and his deceased uncle, and even restore the rule of the Holy Dynasty.

This will be the last chance.

"Mediocre? I will never admit to such a thing!"

Aiden Gary clenched the cross sword in his hand: "I must win this battle, and I will definitely win."

Aiden Gary continued to perform self-hypnosis.

There was only determination left in his eyes, he was no longer the same person he used to be.

So at the urging of Aiden Gary, the entire army began to speed up its advance.

When the army of the Principality of Baya began to cross the Jialan Mountains, Aiden Gary's emotions began to become increasingly restless, because the war that would decide his fate was about to come, and the responsibility he would bear in this war was too heavy.

It is the responsibility of the Principality of Baya and the responsibility of the entire West.

The responsibility was so heavy that he almost collapsed.

At the same time, he also understood more and more what kind of pressure Vega was fighting under.

All along, that small body has been carrying the entire East to fight for them. Can such a heavy responsibility really be carried by that small body?

"I can't lose what Vega Saint Laurent can do!"

Aiden Gary's gums were tense, his nerves were stretched to the limit, and he looked like he had reached a critical point.

It seemed that if just one more straw were to be placed on him, the enormous pressure would cause him to collapse.

And if there is a possibility that things will go wrong, even if it is only one percent, it will definitely happen.

The last straw that broke the camel's back came when there were still five days left before the rescue plan began.

The Holy Dragon King surrendered to the Kingdom of Jialan and was conferred the title of Honorary Grand Duke of the Holy Dragon of the Jialan Empire.

At the same time, Meru Scimitar, who was defined as a rebel, was publicly executed.

When Aiden Gary heard this news, his heart skipped a beat.

"here we go……"

"That brat has started it again."

"The biggest test has finally come."

Aiden Gary's face was completely pale. The thing he was most worried about had really happened. Vega's usual psychological tactics had finally begun to be used.

Kill a rebel first, then treat a surrenderer well.

It was just like the way they treated the two navy soldiers preferentially when they dealt with the Empire. Although it was nothing new, it worked every time.

Therefore, there is not much time left for the countries.

The less time there is, the more panicked the countries will become, and the more panicked they are, the more wrong decisions they will make, such as surrender.

This straw almost made Aiden Gary give up his rescue efforts.

To be honest, he felt that there was no hope. If he put himself in their shoes, he thought that if he were the coalition forces trapped in the encirclement, he would probably be the first to surrender to Vega.

"General? Are you okay?"

The adjutant saw that Aiden Gary's expression was very strange, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

Aiden Gary turned his head and asked, "Captain, would you fight a losing war?"

The adjutant didn't know how to answer Aiden's sudden question, but after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Although I don't know what kind of war is a losing war, I know that if we don't try, even the goddess of luck will not be on our side."

“Luck…?”

Aiden Gary suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Then let's rely on luck! Anyway, fighting means death, and not fighting means death too. Compared to dying in comfort, dying on the battlefield is indeed the proper fate for a general. This battle will all depend on luck!"

This last straw did not break Aiden Gary's back after all.

In the end, Aiden Gary let go of all the pressure and placed all his hopes on luck to face the next battle.

the other side.

When the army of the Principality of Baya crossed the Galan Mountains, Vega finally received the news.

After hearing the news, Vega, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai, began to get anxious.

He took two steps back and forth. "I didn't expect the Principality of Baya to intervene at this time. Now all our troops are used to encircle the western countries. We don't have any extra troops to stop them. If they get close to us, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is all my fault."

Qilisi lowered her head guiltily. She had always been responsible for intelligence. If he had obtained the intelligence as soon as he set out from the Principality of Baya, things would not have developed to this point. However, when she obtained the intelligence, the Principality Army had already crossed the Jialan Mountains. Now it was too late to make amends.

"This is not your fault."

Vega shook his head and said, "The last time the West held a pre-war meeting, they spent a lot of energy on a purge to ensure that we would not get any intelligence. Our intelligence system in the West has been uprooted. How could you have predicted this?"

It is because the eyes of the Jialan Kingdom in the West were blinded.

This led to the fact that the sudden advance of the Principality of Baya was not anticipated, but even if it was anticipated, to be honest, Vega thought there was no way to deal with it.

Because there is a saying that goes "surround it with ten."

Encirclement is not like a direct frontal war. If you want to surround an army and prevent the enemy's soldiers from escaping, you need to invest a huge amount of manpower. At this time, if a fish escapes and launches an attack from outside, he will have no extra manpower to stop it.

From the very beginning, Vega was reluctant to close its doors in order to wait for the Principality of Baya to fall into its trap.

The absence of the Principality of Baya has always made Vega uneasy. He did not expect that the thing he was most worried about would happen. The Principality of Baya really came to rescue with troops at the most critical moment.

Then the outcome of this war becomes unknown at this moment.

"Then let's compare and see who is faster."

Vega realized that time was running out, so he stood up and gave the order: "Give the Western countries an ultimatum. Those who do not surrender before tomorrow night will lose the opportunity to surrender, and then our army will launch a final major encirclement and suppression!"
