Mage Veigar

Chapter 876 Anti-War
Through official sources.

The news that Vega was preparing to use military force against the West began to spread.

In the war-torn city of Gasili on the territory of the Old Kingdom, most civilians complained about this.

"When will the war end?"

"Alas, our king is a warlike king. I am afraid that our generation will not be able to enjoy peace."

"My son died in the last war."

"With this war, I'm afraid taxes and prices will increase again."

"That damned defeated king!"

"If we all oppose war, will he dare to start a war on his own?"

"..."

The entire city of Gasili, from top to bottom, was filled with anti-war voices. They did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Jialan Empire. The last war had just ended, and now another war was about to start. Of course, they were complaining.

This situation was not limited to the territory of the Old Kingdom.

The same was true for the Nolan Empire, which had just been incorporated into the Jialan Kingdom. Since the political style of the Nolan Empire has always been relatively democratic, there were even many marching and demonstrating teams within the original territory of the empire.

It is obvious that there are some people with ulterior motives guiding this.

Moreover, there are not just one or two people who have such ulterior motives, and it is obvious that they cannot be counted on one hand.

In fact, these people with ulterior motives did not really want to start an uprising against Vega's rule or even overthrow the entire Galan Empire. They also understood that compared with Vega, they were not even as good as dust, and the probability of overthrowing the Galan Empire was almost zero.

So why fan the flames?
No matter in what era, whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world.

Although they could not gain the whole world, they could just take advantage of this dissatisfaction and gather a group of indignant people. Then they could find a few excuses to play tricks on these angry civilians, make a lot of money and run away with the money, and they could live a life of luxury. This could be described as getting something for nothing.

If they recruit a hundred people and each of them cheats a gold coin, they will have no worries for ten years.

If you recruit a thousand or ten thousand people, the leader can become rich overnight.

Besides, how could they be so merciful as to simply cheat each person out of a gold coin? As the saying goes, the timid will die of starvation, while the bold will die of gluttony. I'm afraid they will not give up unless they cheat these civilians to the point of bankruptcy.

Wait until the day when the truth comes out.

As speculators, they had already escaped unscathed, and the ones who suffered in the end were of course the civilians who were blinded by anger.

There are countless people who are willing to take advantage of this social contradiction.

When these people exerted their strength at the same time, even Vega, who was sitting on the throne, had to look sideways.

Of course, where there are opponents there are supporters.

There is such a magical place that even speculators dare not set foot in it.

It turned out that the civilians of the Holy Dynasty had become Vega's strong backing. Throughout the old dynasty, regardless of gender, age or status, all supported this war. If the Galan Empire had not stopped recruiting soldiers, they would have wanted all the men to join the army.

The reason is very simple.

The people of this land always believed that the Jialan Empire was the Holy Dynasty. As long as Vega's surname, Saint Laurent, remained unchanged, they would always support Vega. In addition, they had a unique first-class citizenship, which made them the group of people who had the greatest sense of belonging to the Jialan Empire.

Even if there is no reason. As long as Veigar wants to fight, they support the war. If someone in this land speaks ill of Veigar and tries to lead the crowd to oppose Veigar's orders, they will probably be beaten to death by angry civilians.

This is not alarmist talk; it is actually happening.

There is no room for speculators to survive in the land of the old dynasty.

This place has always been regarded as a forbidden place that speculators and people with ulterior motives must not set foot in.

This is also the reason why there is absolutely no opposition in the territory of the old dynasty.

To be honest, at first, Vega didn't want to pay attention to the disturbances made by some people with ulterior motives. He was already the Lord of the East, who would dare to disobey his orders? But later he found that things seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the voices against the war were getting louder and louder.

Except for the territory of the old dynasty.

In the end, it seemed that the entire East was against his continuing to wage war.

If it were the original imperial government, it would probably have compromised with society and stopped the war.

If these people with ulterior motives are not suppressed and the situation continues to deteriorate, when the war really breaks out, these deceived civilians will become a drag. This is not the first time that the original imperial government has suffered such a loss.

A large part of the people who are exacerbating social contradictions this time are from the old kingdom and the former empire. They are very good at using contradictions to win the hearts of the people, gain benefits, and then retreat safely. It can be said that they have mastered the tricks to perfection.

But this time they found the wrong person.

The government of the old kingdom of the former empire has collapsed, and the Kingdom of Jialan now rules the east.

Trying to guide public opinion in front of Vega and exacerbate the conflict?
This has always been his specialty.

In front of him, he used what he was best at, flirting here. Did he feel that he had been tricked by the Baya Principality and that his reputation was gone, so everyone wanted to come up and bully him?
"No matter what your purpose is, since you have gone against my will, I will not let any of you go."

Vega's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he called Silis: "In seven days, I will take action to resolve the domestic conflicts caused by this war. At that time, all these people will show their true colors. You will kill them all one by one. If you don't have enough manpower, you can always ask the army for assistance."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Silis answered solemnly.

As the head of an intelligence organization, she hates these rats hiding in the dark. If Vega can find a way to make them show their true colors, she will crush them to ashes even without Vega's orders.

Therefore, in the next few days, Vega began to take action to deal with the domestic conflicts caused by the war.

But the way he did it was a little different, and it also left everyone confused.

Because Vega neither personally led the army into the countryside to dig out illegal organizations, nor did he send intelligence personnel behind enemy lines. Instead, he sat firmly in the palace, as if pie would fall from the sky and all conflicts would be automatically resolved.

No, it’s not like I did nothing.

Over the past few days, everyone saw that Vega sent a total of three letters to the Western Principality of Baya.

But is there any necessary connection between this and calming domestic conflicts?

No matter from which angle you look at it, there is no necessary connection. What is the deep meaning behind Vega's strange behavior? This time, no one can understand it.

Thanks to the leader of “God’s Failure!”!
