Mage Veja

Chapter 348
On the second day after the Yutosh incident ended.

The Royal Army once again organized a small-scale siege battle. This kind of battle was commonplace for Saint Laurent's guard soldiers, and it had been seen too many times in the past two months.

boom boom-

The flames of the Royal Army smashed on the city wall of Saint Laurent.

However, these powerful magics did not leave any marks on the city walls. The fortifications of Saint Laurent City were almost immune to all magic attacks. Facing such a huge city, the Royal Army could only return to the most primitive way of siege.

Constantly attack and harass, and form an encirclement circle with satellite cities as the strategic core.

This is the current battle plan of the Royal Army.

Once the supply of Saint Laurent City is insufficient, the effect of the continuous siege will ferment, and the soldiers will definitely panic, so the kingdom can easily take back Saint Laurent without spending a lot of troops.

Before this.

In this way, they forced the dynasty army to abandon the city of Saint Laurent.

Of course Veigar knew this, but he couldn't do anything right now.

Generally speaking, Saint Laurent's supply is enough to consume 20 troops for two years. Unfortunately, the dynasty army has been exhausted in the past two years. When Vega takes back the city of Saint Laurent, only some left by the previous kingdom army supply.

How much time are these supplies enough for?
If calculated with 2 people, there is no problem for one year.

But count the 5 Holy Glory Legion, and the second recruit legion that was formed again - the Saint Laurent Legion.

After all, the supply can only last for two months at most.

What can you do in two months?
Even if it is recruit training, it must last at least half a year, not to mention that after the recruit training, there is still a need for actual combat... and a series of extremely time-consuming things.

"There is really no time."

Veigar looked at the dynastic troops retreating one after another, without any idea in his mind.

Shia's departure disrupted all his plans. The Saint Laurent city he returned to now is a dead city. It is trapped in this huge birdcage like a canary, and the only thing waiting for it is death.

Vega knew it clearly.

The Royal Army must have understood the supply situation in the city, so they have not been in a hurry to launch a general offensive.

"How can we solve the siege of Saint Laurent?"

Veigar looked at the gloomy sky: "If you give me enough supplies and time, I will definitely be able to pull up an army of 20, and let the kingdom experience what is called an 'equal' war."

Turn around and walk down the tower.

Veigar walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, he needed to think carefully about the countermeasures.

"General Veigar."

As soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Shia greeted him.

Although Qiang cheered up, her tiredness and worry could not be concealed on her face. She asked nervously: "I heard from the soldiers that the Royal Army organized another siege, so I am a little worried..."

"Your Highness does not need to worry about the safety of Saint Laurent City."

Vega smiled and said: "The Royal Army is just harassing and fighting. They don't have the courage to cut off the wrists of a strong man. It cost 7, 8, or even hundreds of thousands to take Saint Laurent City."

"No, not Saint Laurent."

"Then His Highness is worried about..."

Shia seemed discouraged when she heard Vega's voice, and then said: "There is nothing left, Shia is here this time, and there is another matter that needs the approval of General Vega."

"Your Highness, it's all right." Vega asked curiously.

Shia hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General Vega, Shia doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, I want to move to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Your Highness, please consider this matter more."

Wei Jia frowned and said: "You are a princess, and you will inevitably cause some gossip when you surrender your status to live in the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, the city defense of the City Lord's Mansion is not comparable to that of the imperial palace. For your safety, please give up this idea."

"I see."

Shia's face became more and more frustrated: "Then I'll go back to the palace first, and I ask General Vega to pay more attention to safety. If...if you have time, please come to the palace more often, I...I... "

The latter half of the sentence was not uttered in the end.

Shia left the City Lord's Mansion with a lonely and heartbreaking back, she really really didn't want to be alone anymore.

Veigar watched Shia leave.

Right now, his mind is full of thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, so of course he doesn't have time to increase Shia's favorability.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, Shia has already completely relied on him, and there is no need to increase her favorability. Instead of thinking about these children's personal affairs, it is better to think about how to play the "crowned as emperor" card at the best time The hole cards are more cost-effective.

"and many more!"

A flash of inspiration flashed through Veigar's brain: "It is to be crowned emperor!"

Veigar suddenly thought of a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

However, this strategy of defeating the enemy requires Siya to be crowned emperor and truly exercise the rights of the emperor of the dynasty.

As for what is this strategy?
It is indeed a familiar four words-surround Wei and save Zhao.

The army of the United Kingdom penetrated into the dynasty, and now the country's defense must be insufficient. Let alone the other countries in the Jialan Continent.

What will happen when the empire sends troops from the north to the United Kingdom?
The United Kingdom will have to withdraw the invading forces of the Holy Dynasty and return to its own defense, so that Veigar can not only recover all the territory of the Dynasty without any effort, but also gain time to rest.

After the rest, regroup the troops.

Veigar could have Xi Ya hand over the military power with an edict. If he didn't hand it over, he would be convicted of a treason charge, and he could immediately send troops to unify the entire Holy Dynasty, and he would gain the greatest benefit with the least amount of effort.

Easier said than done.

Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao seems very simple to say, isn't it just to find an ally to copy other people's base camp?
But it is no longer easy for any simple thing to rise between countries.

After all, between countries, there is no profit, and the empire has no reason to waste people and money to help the dynasty attack the kingdom. After all, the reconstruction work in the north is already enough, and they really don't have the energy to start a war.

As for allies in war?
I believe that there will be no people who hold this naive idea and think that the empire will send troops.

The losses in the eastern part of the empire are still vivid, and this ally is too 'expensive'.

Therefore, this requires the dynasty to pay a little benefit that the empire has to send troops.

What is this benefit?
For a country, only territory is the only bargaining chip.

In Veigar's brain, the prototype of the plan has emerged.

He decided to cede land to the empire and seek the empire to send troops to attack the United Kingdom from the north.

But even the cede land grant is not something that can be said to be cede. The only person who can make this promise and exercise this right is the orthodox king of the dynasty.

Only a treaty signed by the king is a contract with legal effect.

Any unorthodox agreement will not be recognized by the people and the world. Even if it is occupied by brute force, it may be used by other countries and civilians to start a war at any time under the pretext of maintaining peace and sweeping away invaders.

So this requires Shia to be crowned emperor.

As long as Shia is crowned emperor, she has the right to cede the territory.

As for which territory to cede?

Veigar looked at the west bank, and then let out a 'hehehe' laugh.

This laughter was especially penetrating, and the guard at the door couldn't help but shudder.
