Chapter 886 The Ambition of Various Countries

The Principality of Baya can accept a draw.

The ambitions of the Western countries will not allow them to accept a draw. Isn't war just about success or failure?

There are still two months before the mountains are blocked by ice and snow.

In other words, at this time, even if they declared war on Vega and angered him, Vega would never allow the eastern army to collectively cross the west and fight a decisive battle with them. Time does not allow it.

In other words.

They have now turned from lambs into hungry wolves and want to keep Vega's 500,000 elite troops.

But there are some things that they cannot do just because they want to.

Because once they are ready to send troops to besiege Vega, we can certainly receive intelligence here, and Vega's army is stationed in Star Wind City, which is closest to the Galan Mountains. If they want to retreat, it is estimated that they will be out of reach.

But it is not impossible.

For example...

Let the Principality of Baya hold back Vega until their coalition forces arrive.

In fact, the Free Alliance had already sent an envoy, the Dark Night Swinburne Raphael, to the capital of the Principality of Baya, Sulenho City, to lobby Grand Duke Baya, hoping that Grand Duke Baya could order Aiden Gary on the front line to entangle the 500,000 troops of the Galan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, we promise you."

The Night Race Swinburne said in an orderly manner: "As long as you order your army to entangle the Galan Army for a while, we can easily keep the 500,000 people of Galan in the west and put a good dent in Vega Saint Laurent's prestige. In addition, we promise you that no matter how many troops your country loses, we will double your compensation after the dust settles."

"of course."

Swinburne continued, "After the Jialan Army is annihilated, the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom will still be yours. We will never touch it, and we will also help Your Majesty to restrain other countries from taking action against it."

"you!"

Grand Duke Baya's expression was calm at first, but the last sentence made him furious.

Because after reading it, it turns out that what he said was not a good thing, it was actually a strong threat.

The subtext is that if you don't bother Vega, after he leaves, it's hard to say whether the Holy Dragon Province will still belong to your Baya Principality. Many people want to have a piece of this cake.

"I see……"

Grand Duke Baya sat back in his seat like a deflated ball: "If you give us double compensation as agreed, and guarantee that the territorial sovereignty of the Holy Dragon Province belongs to the Principality of Baya, I can agree..."

Swinburne smiled broadly as he listened.

But just when the final push was needed, a powerful voice suddenly came from outside the door -

"Your Majesty means that we don't agree!"

The person who spoke was Aiden Gary, who had rushed in from outside, exhausted.

After he saluted to Grand Duke Baya, he looked at Swinburne with a sullen face and said, "It's no wonder that I heard that you came from afar and rushed back to the capital from the front line overnight. It turns out that you have these wishful thinkings."

Anger was all over Aiden Gary's face.

This matter seems perfect. As long as they can entangle Vega Saint Laurent, then the 500,000 troops will definitely be left in the West. It can be said that this has greatly dampened Vega's morale and once again boosted the confidence of the Western countries.

But there is no such good thing in the world.

Take the initiative and entangle Vega?

What a joke!

In this war, Vega's only advantage is the frontal battle, and there is almost no other choice except frontal battle to entangle the large army. I'm afraid that Vega Saint Laurent is now wishing you to stop me.

Therefore, it is easy to see the results of this matter.

Once the proposals of the various countries are followed, Vega's 500,000 troops will most likely be left in the West, but correspondingly, the Principality of Baya's only 1.8 million troops will be lost, and the capital accumulated over the years will be wasted.

In short, the countries want to use the Principality of Baya as a pawn, I will get the benefits, and you will pay the price.

compensate?

The so-called compensation is based on the ability to use one's own force to force others to fulfill their agreements.

When the army of the Principality of Baya is exhausted, what can it use to make the Western countries fulfill the treaty? At that time, they will not only have to "keep" your territory, but may also have to "help" you rule your country.

Aiden Gary saw clearly the greedy faces of various countries.

They will never forget how other countries found excuses to respond to them when they asked for assistance from other countries at the beginning of the war.

Therefore, Aiden Gary would never agree to this matter.

What the Principality of Baya needs is a draw, not a victory, and it is even more impossible for it to give up everything just to keep an army of 500,000.

This isn't a deciding game.

Even if Vega lost 500,000 troops, he still had 5 million troops on the other side of the mountains. In the end, the one who would suffer the most would be the Principality of Baya. He didn't want to be the scapegoat who harmed himself for the benefit of others.

"May I ask your Majesty, when can a minister make decisions for you?"

Swinburne frowned, he didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear to be a hindrance, so he couldn't help but say this sentence and began to provoke the conflict between the two. After all, what the king fears most is that his subjects overstep the limit.

But Swinburne was destined to be disappointed.

Although Grand Duke Baya is not very smart and can even be fooled by a few words, he has one biggest advantage, which is that he is very self-aware.

In other words.

He knew clearly how much he was worth.

Although he didn't like Aiden Gary's arrogance and his ability to overshadow his boss, he understood that he was actually not as smart as Aiden Gary. Since Aiden Gary said it was not possible, then it must be impossible.

When one's opinion differs from that of one's subjects.

Grand Duke Baya tends to listen to the opinions of those he considers to be wiser than him, rather than being self-willed and stubborn.

Therefore, Grand Duke Baya answered firmly: "This is also my opinion."

"Your Majesty, please think carefully."

Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, Swinburne began to show his true colors: "When the Jialan Army leaves the west, the Holy Dragon Province will become a no-man's land again. We dare not guarantee the ownership of that piece of land. After all, your country failed to defend it from the Jialan Kingdom in the first place."

"No need for your assurance!"

Aiden Gary said generously: "The territorial sovereignty of the Baya Principality shall be defended by our Baya Principality. If anyone violates our territorial sovereignty and creates internal strife in the West at this critical juncture, hoping to destroy both sides and benefit the Jialan Kingdom, then although our Baya Principality is young, it is by no means a weak country that can be bullied! This time, I want to see who is qualified to stop the war."

The smell of gunpowder is already spreading.

With the decline of the city-state of Gangti and the demise of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, there was indeed no force in the entire West that could stop the famous general Aiden Gary, who had once terrified the West and overshadowed Vega Saint Laurent.

"Harmony is the most precious thing, harmony is the most precious thing."

Swinburne immediately smiled cordially, and the tension in the room instantly disappeared. "I was just joking before. Please rest assured that at this time when we are united against a common enemy, no matter which country tries to infringe on your territorial sovereignty and destroy your hard-earned alliance, we in the Free Alliance will be the first to never agree."

"This joke is not funny at all."

Aiden Gary was relentless and continued to ridicule Swinburne.

Swinburne didn't care. He laughed and said, "In fact, I came here this time to inform you of another thing. That is, the city-state of Gangti has a way to keep Vega Saint Laurent's 500,000 troops until the mountains are sealed with ice and snow. When the time comes, I would like to ask you to help me kill the prestige of the Kingdom of Galan and let Vega Saint Laurent know that the West is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases."

"I still say that our country will not hold back the Jialan Army."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. The City of Gangti has other options. All we need is for your country to participate in the hunt instead of being used as bait."

The night-killer Swinburne Raphael showed a very elegant smile.
