Mage Veigar

Chapter 885 Return without success
draw.

It may not be enough for Aiden Gary's ambition, but it is enough for the Principality of Baya.

Because if it drags on until winter, the Jialan Army will inevitably retreat without a fight, and they will take back everything they had.

Next spring, the Jialan Army will lose the opportunity to cross the Jialan Mountains directly like this time.

Therefore, there was no need to defeat the Jialan Army openly, nor was there any need to bear excessive pressure. No one even expected victory in this war from the beginning. Everyone's goal was just a draw.

With the right time, right place and right people.

It is easy to win, and it is even easier to pursue peace. Only defeat is a very difficult thing. This time, even the god of luck is on their side.

Let go of the obsession in your heart.

Aiden Gary, who was reborn from the ashes of fear, is in better shape than ever before.

He saw the war clearly with his eyes, and even understood that Vega was using his only strength, or the only possible point of victory, to fight this war in an attempt to create a miracle.

But in Aiden Gary's opinion.

As long as he doesn't fight Vega head-on with the desire to win, there is absolutely no chance of losing this war. Vega's chance of creating another miracle will also drop from 1% to 0%.

That's right.

It is the real zero percent, a powerful existence with the right time, right place and right people, which completely kills the 0 behind countless zeros.

Vega also felt this.

The Aiden Gary, who was feared by Western countries, has indeed been resurrected.

In the command center, when Vega received the news that the Principality Army began to shift from frontal combat to street fighting, Vega knew that he was destined to return empty-handed this time, and it became completely impossible to capture the Principality of Baya in a short time.

Because of the opponent's style of play, it is obvious that they have given up victory and are pursuing a draw.

Maybe for the Principality of Baya, it was a draw, but for Vega, a draw meant losing!
Being forced to return to the East means returning the entire Holy Dragon Province to the Principality of Baya. If this is not a failure, then what is?
Of course, there are gains in any war.

For Vega, the biggest gain from this battle is that he already knows the progress of Aiden Gary over the years.

All high-ranking military officers are greedy.

Be it Tenniel, Hausman, or Foster, they will strive for victory as long as there is a glimmer of chance. However, many times, they pursue a glimmer of hope for victory excessively, and are ultimately defeated by Vega using this glimmer of hope.

At first, Vega thought the same was true for Aiden Gary.

How could a general who was so confident and wanted to prove himself put aside his eagerness to win and pursue a draw when the enemy was weak and he was strong? This was unacceptable in any way.

But Aiden Gary did it.

Letting go of the desire to win means letting go of the pressure.

When there is no pressure at all, one's own strength will be exerted 100%, or even 200%.

Aiden Gary's rich experience and calm thinking probably allowed him to see through the fog and realize who has the advantage of time, place and people. This street fight was probably hinting to him - walk away, I won't see you off.

You have to leave.

But definitely not now.

Since there was no hope of winning, he might as well vent his anger and avenge the arrow shot from the east. Thinking about it now, it seemed that this was also one of the reasons why he sent troops this time.

So in the next few months, the two sides launched a tug-of-war. Due to the existence of the war species on Vega's side, Aiden Gary did not dare to put all his eggs in one basket and let Vega catch them all at once. Instead, he stored 1.8 million troops in various cities. So strictly speaking, the strength of the two sides in each war was actually about the same.

When the military strength of both sides is similar.

At the end of the street fighting, it was of course Veigar, who had a higher overall quality, who took over the city.

Therefore, in the past few months, Vega has conquered 1/4 of the Principality of Baya, and the City of Dawn was taken by him two months ago, but Vega knew that he had to stop there.

Because in two months, winter will be here.

He must return to the east with his army by this time next month, otherwise once the ice and snow close the Jialan Mountains, the cowardly sheep in the west will turn into hungry wolves and devour his army.

Therefore, Vega directly ordered to stop the attack at this time.

Next, he would start to cause trouble for the Principality of Baya, making their lives difficult in the coming year.

First of all.

Vegana attacked the capitalists in the occupied areas, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs by forcibly seizing their property and industries, causing the economic system in the occupied areas to collapse directly.

What is the difference between such brutal plundering and the plundering when the Principality of Baya withdrew from the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?
Isn't it digging your own grave to stand against the common people?
Of course there is a difference.

The only difference is that the Principality of Baya not only plundered the capitalists, but also the civilians, and filled the treasury with the plundered property. Vega did not plunder the civilians, but instead divided everything he got from the capitalists equally among the civilians, including money, food, property, land...

The oppressed civilians have never been treated like this before.

For the simple-minded civilians, they will certainly remember the kindness of whoever is good to them.

The Jialan Empire helped them fight the local tyrants and divide the land so that they would not be oppressed by the capitalists, while the Principality of Baya strongly supported the capitalists to oppress them and even increased their taxes. It was obvious which was better.

Therefore, Vega unknowingly obtained the right time, right place, and right people.

Vega had no pressure in doing this kind of thing.

But when he leaves, the Principality of Baya will probably have a headache.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Now your Baya Principality wants to be the bad guy and take back everything they have, rebuild the industry, and support the capitalists to take power. Isn't that standing on the opposite side of the common people? At that time, they will only miss the good things of Jialan Country more.

This comes and goes.

Vega gained the support of the people, while the Principality of Baya lost the support of the people.

If I have the chance to come back here next time, I believe that the civilians here will not be like this time, who were hostile to the Jialan Army at the beginning and volunteered to act as spies for the Principality Army. Next time, they will definitely welcome them like heroes.

Avenged an arrow.

After establishing the idea of ​​"whoever dares to challenge the majesty of the Kingdom of Galan must be punished no matter how far away they are" among the countries in the world, he also won the hearts of the people and planted a seed that could lead to a rebellion against the Principality of Baya at any time. Vega was quite satisfied with this.

After all, he didn't have the intention of really taking over the Principality of Baya from the beginning.

Since you don't have high expectations, there will certainly be no disappointment.

Therefore, after obtaining satisfactory results, Vega began to prepare for retreat.

But when the time came and Vega was about to withdraw to the east, some countries except the Principality of Baya finally began to be impatient. They seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory...
