Mage Veigar

Chapter 904: Common Leader
The wind of democracy is blowing across the West.

A month has passed since the spread of democratic ideas.

Over the past month, countless marches and demonstrations of all sizes have taken place in Western countries.

Just today.

In the capital of the Free Union, more than 300,000 workers went on strike to protest against the exploitation and oppression of civilians by the Free Union's industry, commerce, and agriculture. This was also the largest demonstration in the West to date.

"We need human rights! We need democracy!"

"Boycott 997 and 697 to the death!"

"Long live 965 million, long live democracy!"

"No one can take away our human nature!"

"..."

Holding high the banner of democracy and openly opposing the exploitative system of the big landlords and the aristocracy, all workers and peasants stood on the same front. These common people would never give up until their goal was achieved.

"Vega Saint Laurent!"

King Strachey of the Alliance, like other kings, could tell with his eyes closed that this was a good deed done by Veigar. Because the person who was best at exploiting civilians in this world was Veigar.

"You pigs, this is not your country."'

There was a fierce look in Strachey's eyes. Like Carol and other kings, he did not take the actions of these civilians seriously.

As a supporter of the monarchy, every king always believes that the country belongs to them, they are the masters of this land, and the common people are just livestock in their captivity. What should they do if the livestock are disobedient? Of course, they must suppress them with blood.

"Let the magician take action and teach these civilians a lesson."

As Strachey's cruel order was issued, several fireballs exploded among the demonstrators. The three hundred thousand people had not expected that the king would actually do such a thing, and the blood made them flee in panic.

This time, the largest demonstration was still suppressed.

The death toll of civilians at the scene exceeded 1600.

At the same time, more than 500 soldiers were killed by angry civilians, and the death toll of civilians and soldiers exceeded 2100.

Such a large number of deaths made the common people realize that demonstrations were no longer useful. The king was unlikely to defend their rights, and the government eventually sided with the nobles and the landowners.

The nobles and landlords, with the support of the government, also began to make an example of others.

They first raised prices, lowered wages, extended working hours... fired those who had participated in demonstrations, and at the same time increased the wages of civilians who were willing to be livestock.

This series of combined punches was clearly telling all workers and farmers not to try to resist them, but to serve as their livestock and have something to eat, otherwise they would starve to death on the streets.

"what should we do?"

After the parade, a worker looked at everyone in despair and said, "The government has sided with the nobles and landlords. Are we destined to be their livestock? If it were just me who had to be their livestock for the rest of my life, it would be fine. But when I think about my descendants being their livestock for generations, unable to escape, I feel extremely desperate."

"We can't keep silent any longer!"

Another worker shouted: "If demonstrations cannot change the will of those in power, then there is only war! If we don't stand up, our descendants will be slaves forever. Friends... No! Comrades! For the dignity of being human and for the future of our descendants, we must fight."

Many people stood up that night.

But standing up is not enough. Almost everyone understands that if they want to win the revolution and change the current world, they also need someone who can convince everyone that he has the ability to change the world to stand up and lead them.

So Vega stood up. At this moment of great expectation, Vega issued a notice to the entire West from the Star Wind City: "The Jialan Empire will firmly support the 965 system, defend the right of every human to live and work, and vow to establish a democratic regime and fight for the interests of workers and farmers."

at the same time.

The Jialan Empire officially warned all Western countries not to try to resist the will of the people and to immediately carry out top-down reforms. Otherwise, the Jialan Empire would not rule out the use of force against all countries.

Of course, it is impossible for other countries to heed Vega's warning.

So Vega stood up and openly declared war on the Principality of Baya, and raised the slogan of fighting for democracy.

One call and a hundred responses.

Just a warning and declaration of war gave great confidence to revolutionary groups of all sizes throughout the West.

Although there is no intersection between them, almost all revolutionary groups regard Vega as their common leader and look forward to the Galan Army reaching their territory as soon as possible to save them.

Especially within the Principality of Baya.

When the major revolutionary groups heard that Vega was going to use force against the Principality of Baya, they became energized and began to harass and fight the government and the army indiscriminately.

one more time.

The five hundred thousand strong army of the Galan Empire came to the City of Dawn, which symbolizes hope and light.

This incident immediately alarmed Grand Duke Baya and Aiden Gary.

Grand Duke Baya nervously asked Aiden Gary in the meeting room, "Vega Saint Laurent is attacking again. What should we do, General? Dawn City is our most important line of defense. We cannot afford to lose it at any cost."

"Your Majesty, I have only one suggestion now."

"Please, General, please go ahead."

"surrender."

Aiden Gary said two words that Grand Duke Baya never expected in his dreams.

"General Aiden, you are kidding, right?"

The corners of Grand Duke Baya's mouth twitched. He still found it hard to believe that this was Aiden Gary's serious answer.

In Grand Duke Baya's impression, the Principality's army still has more than one million soldiers, while the Jialan Army is only 500,000 remnants, and does not even have a basic air force. The last time the Jialan Army came with great force, and even with the Central Air Corps escorting them, they still couldn't do anything to them. Why can't the Principality of Baya defend itself this time?

Don't even mention guarding.

In the eyes of Grand Duke Baya, defeating Vega is a very simple matter.

But Aiden Gary obviously saw what Grand Duke Baya could not see. He still shook his head and said, "I am not kidding. We have no chance of winning this battle. Surrendering now can save your life. When the Jialan army enters the capital, it will be too late for you to surrender."

"General Eden is exaggerating."

Grand Duke Baya said angrily, "General Aiden, please tell me how we can lose this battle?"

"Let's not talk about how to lose."

Aiden Gary asked in return: "Your Majesty, please tell me first, how can we win this battle?"
