Mage Veigar

Chapter 887

"Other ways?"

Aiden Gary had a curious look on his face.

He really couldn't think of any other way except letting the Principality Army delay Vega's return.

But Swinburne finally left without telling Aiden Gary the details. All he left behind was an elegant and confident smile, as if this matter could be 100% successful.

Although I don’t know how the countries will achieve this in the end, I think everything has a price.

This also made Aiden Gary even more disgusted with the faces of various countries.

If he had not returned early, I'm afraid that the price would have to be paid by the Principality of Baya. The real version of ingratitude might have been played out here. The so-called friendship between countries is indeed as fragile as paper.

After resolving this matter, Aiden Gary immediately said goodbye and rushed back to the front line overnight.

The only person left in the meeting room was Grand Duke Baya, who was frightened and sweating.

He had never imagined that seemingly simple things actually hid so many twists and turns.

If Aiden Gary hadn't rushed back overnight, he would have been sold out and would still be helping the other countries count money.

This also made Grand Duke Baya more self-aware, and he deeply realized that he was not a smart person, and he could even say that he could not understand the words of smart people. In the future, he must rely on smart people to last long.

indeed so.

Although Grand Duke Baya is not a genius, he is not even a qualified emperor.

But it was precisely this self-knowledge that allowed him to tolerate Aiden Gary's arrogance, which allowed the Principality of Baya to reach where it is today. Just like the meeting with Vega by the lake that year, Vega stated clearly that Grand Duke Baya was the most talented general in the world.

Although most of them were deceiving Grand Duke Baya.

But there was one thing Vega did not lie about. In his opinion, Grand Duke Baya was definitely not a mediocre person.

Although he is not smart and has low talent, it is precisely this self-knowledge that enables Grand Duke Baya to use people wisely and listen to the opinions of smart people, without the stubbornness and self-willedness of other kings.

According to Aiden Gary's character.

Although he became talented, he was destined to be hidden or executed no matter which country he went to. Only Grand Duke Baya would tolerate Aiden Gary's rude behavior because of his talent.

at the same time.

The nations are plotting to keep Veigar.

Vega, on the other hand, knew nothing about it.

Although he was preparing to retreat, he was in no hurry.

Judging from the time, there is still more than a month before the mountains are blocked by snow and ice. As long as he leaves the West within the last fifteen days, or receives news that the coalition forces of Western countries are preparing to send troops to besiege him, it is not too late to retreat.

After all, his army is right next to the Jialan Mountains.

If he wanted to leave, almost no one could stop him except the Principality of Baya.

But does the Principality of Baya dare to stop it?
Absolutely not.

If the army sent was less than one million, not only would it fail to stop him from returning to the East, but he would also give them a severe lesson.

If the number of troops sent out is more than one million, which means they will go out in full force, then Vega believes that 500,000 troops will indeed be left in the West, but the more than one million troops of the Principality of Baya will inevitably be lost.

Once the 1.8 million troops are lost, the Principality of Baya will be in name only.

The Principality of Baya would not be able to recover in just one winter, and it would be easy for an enemy to take over the Principality of Baya.

In Vega's opinion.

Five hundred thousand elite troops in exchange for the Principality of Baya, this is better than a loss in any way.

As for his own safety?

Who can stop him who is about to break through as a Saint Shadow Mage and a Godly Professional?
As long as he wants to leave, even if all the armies in the world are combined, they will not be able to stop such a strange and mysterious shadow wizard.

And in the final analysis, the heavy snow that closed the Jialan Mountains meant that large troops could not march, but if a person rode alone and brought enough food, he could cross to the east whenever he wanted.

So he wished that Aiden Gary would bring his entire army to stop him.

If we use chess to describe it, even an inferior chess player would not do this kind of transaction of exchanging a horse for a chariot.

Now the facts prove it.

The Principality of Baya did not do so.

At this point in time, the Principality of Baya was still guarding its defenses tightly, with no intention of taking action. The same was true for the Western countries.

Up to now, Vega has not received any news from the Western coalition forces.

At this last point in time, Vega also lost the desire to continue advancing the front line in the Principality of Baya.

He began to turn his attention to the Holy Dragon Province.

What made him feel regretful was that this time in the East, the Holy Dragon Province might not be able to be preserved.

Even though the food was tasteless, Vega still felt sad to see it just dropped on the ground.

The more I think about it, the more unwilling I am.

Vega felt that he couldn't get it, so he had to make trouble for the one who took it.

Just like what Vega did in the area occupied by the Principality of Baya, where he beat the local tyrants, divided up the land, and won the hearts of the people.

In the Holy Dragon Province, Vega began to implement another policy - the 965 policy.

What is the 965 policy?

First of all, you need to know that under the governance of the Holy Dragon King, the Holy Dragon Kingdom has very developed industry, commerce and agriculture.

However, the Holy Dragon Kingdom likes to judge status by bloodline, which means that the nobles and the capitalist class occupy 16 percent of the country's resources, and the peasants and workers are equivalent to slaves. Not only do they have no human rights, they also need to work for the nobles and capitalists for at least hours out of hours a day in exchange for a meager salary to support their families.

in short.

The nobles and the bourgeoisie treated the common people like cattle and sheep, and the common people dared not speak out but were angry.

After establishing the Holy Dragon Province, Vega did not take action against this old system for the sake of the stability of the regime. This was because the main purpose this time was to attack the Principality of Baya, and touching the cake of the capitalist class and the nobility would be met with backlash.

But it is different now.

Since we are all leaving, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Vega issued a series of decrees with great force, the first of which was to eradicate the bourgeoisie and the nobility, and return assets to the common people. Anyone who disagreed would be suppressed by the iron-blooded army of 500,000 Garan soldiers. Even if the nobility and the bourgeoisie united, they could not be opponents.

Secondly, they began to instill the advanced democratic ideas of equality for all from the previous life into the minds of the common people.

Once this idea was spread, it immediately aroused applause from the whole province.

Because the essence of this idea is to stand from the perspective of the people and defend the rights of civilians, it will certainly be supported by civilians.

At last.

Vega announced that from now on, employed civilians in all walks of life will enjoy legal working and living hours, that is, 9 am to 6 pm, 1 day for lunch, working exactly 8 hours a day, and resting two days a week.

This advanced system.

It directly caused a magnitude 12 earthquake in the Shenglong Province.

Throughout the Jialan Continent, almost all those in power treat civilians as cattle and sheep, exploiting every civilian at a meager cost, forcing every civilian to work and sleep every day, and kicking them out when they are too old to work.

And Vega's system.

Let the civilians feel what it means to be "born as a human being".

It turns out that they come to this world not to work until death, but to enjoy life as a human being.

enjoy life?

What a luxurious word.

As for the word "life", isn't it true that only the upper class are qualified to enjoy it?

The decrees issued by Vega planted an advanced idea called "democracy" in the Holy Dragon Province.

Vega did not dare to implement such advanced ideas even in the Galan Empire.

Because he needs to maintain his own rule, and this kind of thinking is like poison that seeps into the bone marrow. Even if the common people are allowed to feel it for a day, anyone who tries to restore the ruling methods of the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy in the future will inevitably encounter a strong backlash.

The reason is very simple.

After being a human being once, who would want to be a beast of burden for capital again?
The reason why Veigar did this was simple. He wanted to let the civilians here experience democracy for a month, and then he would return to the East. Whoever took over the Holy Dragon Province would be like taking over a time bomb.

Vega can guarantee it.

The power of this bomb can blow any force that takes over here to pieces.
