Mage Veigar

Chapter 907: No Way to Fight
The Principality of Baya, with its capital at Surenhuo.

At this time, the entire city was surrounded.

They were surrounded by a 50-strong army led by the Jialan Kingdom, more than two million civilian rebels, and soldiers from the original Baya Principality. At this moment, Grand Duke Baya finally experienced what it meant to be deserted by everyone.

A month ago, he could never have dreamed that this day would come.

In just one month, Vega used an army of 500,000 to attack their capital, forcing them into a desperate situation. The most terrifying thing was that Vega's army did not suffer any losses, but instead grew stronger.

Yes.

Standing on the side of the common people, one can naturally gain their support. In this world, those in power account for less than 1%, and almost 99.9% of the people are common people and workers.

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

Grand Duke Baya's eyes were filled with regret: "It's too late to understand this sentence now."

"Your Majesty, a rebellion has broken out in the city again."

Aiden Gary said calmly: "The 41st Regiment of the Eighth Army and the Revolutionary Army are attacking the palace. I think we should send people to suppress the rebellion immediately. Once the Jialanjia Army receives the news, I am afraid they will immediately attack the city."

"Let them be."

Grand Duke Baya shook his head: "The fire has already started. What's the point of putting out a flame?"

"There is one more thing."

Aiden Gary showed extreme contempt on his face: "The big landowners and nobles in the city have begun to force you to surrender to the Jialan Army, and there is evidence that they are secretly supporting the rebellion of the revolutionary army and middle-level officers."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing the news, Grand Duke Baya was not angry at all. He burst into laughter, and tears came out of his eyes. He laughed so hard that he held his stomach and leaned against the city wall for a long time without calming down.

The laughter spread throughout the city on the wind.

This was the funniest joke Grand Duke Baya had ever heard in his life.

Why are there such ridiculous jokes in this world?
He was clearly standing on the side of the aristocracy and the landlord class and fighting for them, but in the end these people not only did not support him, but instead asked him to surrender quickly and even secretly supported the revolutionary army to fight against him.

Being beaten up by teammates is indeed ridiculous.

With this laughter, Grand Duke Baya was mocking himself for persisting until now.

This laughter also mocked the short-sightedness of the nobles and landlord class.

Grand Duke Baya's face was filled with contempt and joy: "These greedy people still think that the times are still the same as before. No matter how the dynasty changes, the king still needs to rely on the nobles and landlords like them? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! They don't understand at all that this is not a war between countries. That kid has escalated the war to a class war. At the end of this war, any class that stands on the opposite side of the civilians will not be able to escape unscathed."

Generally speaking.

In wars between countries, it is rare for kings to target the great nobles and landowners.

More often than not, after occupying a country's territory, the new king relied on the great nobles and the landlord class to stabilize society, because they almost controlled the country's resources, and as long as they did not act recklessly, the market and society would not collapse.

These short-sighted people did not realize the difference of this war at all.

The reason why they urged Grand Duke Baya to surrender was that they believed that the war had nothing to do with them. No matter how the war was fought, their interests would not suffer too much damage in the end. It would just be a matter of changing the emperor.

But as Grand Duke Baya said, this time they were wrong.

Having abandoned the king who fought for them, they too will eventually be buried.

Grand Duke Baya's laughter was full of ridicule.

After laughing, Grand Duke Baya licked his scarlet lips and said, "General Aiden, give the order to surrender. We have only lost this country and the dream we have been fighting for. We can still live a life of wealth and glory like the Holy Dragon King in the second half of our lives, but those short-sighted people will probably be cut into pieces by the civilians. This is the fate they deserve for betraying me and beating me up!" "As you wish, Your Majesty."

Aiden Gary had a smile on his face.

"and many more……"

Grand Duke Baya looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped talking. He gritted his teeth and finally bowed deeply to Aiden Gary: "General Aiden Gary, before I surrender, there is something I must confess to you. I have never really liked you. Even now, I still hate you very much."

"Your Majesty, I have known about this all along."

"But on the contrary, I like you very much. It is better to say that the more you hate me, the more I like you."

"why?"

Aiden Gary shrugged and said, "I know how bad my character is. I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can tolerate such a bad existence. Therefore, it is my honor to meet Your Majesty and be loyal to you."

"sorry!"

Grand Duke Baya suddenly apologized to Aiden Gary: "This apology is not for my dislike for you, but for not being able to realize the dream that brought you to me."

Grand Duke Baya knew it very well.

Aiden Gary's purpose in working for him was to defeat Veigar, to avenge Veigar, and to prove his ability to the world.

But in the end this goal was not achieved, and the Principality of Baya was left with no alternative but to retreat.

"Please don't apologize, Your Majesty."

Aiden Gary smiled and said, "In the battle to rescue the Western countries in the East, I defeated Vega without any soldiers from thousands of miles away, and preserved the spark of resistance against Vega Saint Laurent for the entire West. Then in the defensive battle not long ago, I fought a draw with Vega Saint Laurent. This win and a draw is enough for me."

Aiden's eyes were filled with regret.

He sincerely thanked the Principality of Baya for everything it had brought him, because now he had completely walked out of Vega's shadow.

If his enemy in this battle is Vega, he will definitely fight hard and compete with Vega for a peak battle.

but……

He looked at the Jialan Army under the city and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why I stopped commanding the war in the last battle and even rejected your request for me to be the commander-in-chief?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Because the enemy in this battle is not Vega Saint Laurent at all."

Aiden Gary laughed at himself and said, "Vega Saint Laurent is just a chess piece in this battle - a chess piece of ordinary people. I have the courage to be the enemy of Vega, but I don't have the courage to be the enemy of the world; I am confident that I can defeat Vega, but I can't defeat the world."

“Although the reality is that I can’t win either the former or the latter, the former still has hope of victory, while the latter only has despair.”

"As a general,"

“Don’t fight a battle where you can’t win.”

As the words fell, there was a loud noise.

boom!
The heavy city gate was opened.

The second largest power in the West, the Principality of Baya formally announced its surrender to the world.
