Chapter 572 Intimidation

What is Foster's weakness?
People have seven emotions and six desires.

The exposed weaknesses must be in it, as long as you follow the map and find out, you will be able to catch Foster's vital points.

But after returning, Veigar took Foster's life information and read it several times, but he didn't see any weakness, and even saw his own shadow from Foster.

First, Foster has no relatives, let alone friends.

This also means that it is almost impossible to start with his relatives.

Second, Foster has no desire for money or power.

So trying to tempt him with these things won't work.

Third, Foster is absolutely loyal to the empire, and can even die for the empire.

When a person is not even afraid of death, even if this person has no strength to restrain a chicken, he is countless times more terrifying than those strong men who are eight feet tall.

Fourth, Foster was born to fight.

Born as an orphan, from a soldier to his current position step by step, Foster has nothing but war in his life, and only war. If he strips off the coat of war, he is just a useless old man.

Being loyal to war means not being afraid of war.

Foster may have foreseen that one day he would be defeated in battle, or even become a prisoner, and finally died in the war.

No fetters, which means no weaknesses.

Foster is now like Vega, treating everything as a pawn that can be discarded at any time, and this means that no one can capture the weakness of the two from outside the war.

There is only one way to defeat Veigar——

That is to defeat Veigar with dignity in the war.

Now Foster is almost a replica of Veigar, and it is almost impossible to take advantage of his weaknesses outside of war.

This is also what makes Vega feel tricky.

But there is a saying that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. If anyone in this world can understand Foster's psychology best, then no one else can do it except Vega.

Because both of them reject all fetters and make themselves more invulnerable.

But one thing to know is.

Rejecting all fetters is just to make yourself stronger, and what is the purpose of becoming stronger?
As you can see.

Veigar is fighting for his life, he wants a life of ease, not a life of precarity.

Therefore, when someone wants his life, Veigar will definitely burst out one thousand percent, or even ten thousand percent potential to defeat the opponent. At that time, Veigar becomes a nearly invincible existence, unless someone can stand at an absolute height crushed.

The same reason.

Foster doesn't fight for life, but he fights for loyalty.

He is loyal to the empire, wants to see the empire prosper, wants to see the people of the empire live a good life, and only war can achieve all this, so in every desperate situation, Foster can always perform exceptionally, Turn defeat into victory.

The battle of Dragon City in the Kingdom is a swan song.

That being the case, what was the use of Veigar focusing on Foster's virtues?
Whether it is war or other fields, the best strategy is to use one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. Without finding the enemy's weaknesses, rushing to attack the enemy's strengths is something that even a fool will do.

This is indeed the case.

But Veigar is good at doing the opposite. He believes that there is no absolute good or bad in the world.

For example, if someone threatened Vega's life, he would display his great potential, but if someone took his life, he would definitely give his loyalty to this person as a last resort.

Since loyalty to the empire can make Foster risk his life, can Foster be controlled through loyalty?
The answer is yes.

Foster is extremely loyal to the empire and can die for the empire. This is a bit like the star mage Okasos, but this loyalty is not the same as that of Okasos.

The object of Ocathos' allegiance is the royal family of the dynasty.

If Okasos is allowed to choose between keeping the royal family of the dynasty and the people of the dynasty.

Then there is no doubt that Okasos will choose to keep the blood of the royal family and give up all the civilians because he is loyal to the royal family.In his opinion, if the royal family still exists in the world, there is hope for the dynasty to be rebuilt. If the royal family is completely extinct, even if the dynasty is re-established, it will be nothing but a fake, and he himself absolutely disagrees.

Unlike Foster, his allegiance is to the Empire.

If he had to choose between the imperial government and the imperial civilians, Foster would undoubtedly choose the civilians, because in his view, the government was part of the empire, the government could be rebuilt without the government, and the empire would be nothing without the people.

So Veigar already knew how to control Foster.

Since lures and lures do not work, the only choice is coercion.

In the afternoon of the second day, Vega met with Foster again: "General Foster, please allow me to ask again this time, are you willing to be loyal to the northern regime?"

Foster's eyes opened and closed again.

He shook his head slightly: "It's still the same sentence, thank you for your kindness. Even if your highness asks this matter tens of thousands of times, my answer will be the same. I am loyal to the empire, and it is absolutely impossible to recognize any northern regime."

"There are no absolutes in the world, what do you think?"

"Are you questioning my loyalty to the Empire?"

Foster looked a little angry. Veigar could take his life, but he couldn't insult his loyalty to the empire.

"That's the only thing I can't deny."

Vega chuckled, and then said: "But the general can believe that the next time I ask you this question, you will definitely choose to serve the northern regime?"

"Hmph, nonsense."

Foster snorted and closed his mouth, apparently having no desire to continue talking with Vega.

However, at this time, Veigar threw a plan in his hand on the table.

After just a glance, Foster's squinted eyes suddenly widened. The name of this plan is——

"Northern Massacre Plan"

Foster couldn't help turning over the plan with his trembling right hand, and then read it word by word, for fear of missing any details, and read it for an entire hour.

"Now, are you willing to serve the northern regime?"

"I... I, Foster Nolan..."

Foster clenched his fist until it turned white, and finally spit out the few words he didn't want to say: "I am willing to give you my personal allegiance."

"It's not me, but the northern regime of the empire."

"I, Foster Nolan, am willing to pledge my allegiance to... the Empire North and the North regime."

But a dozen or so words exhausted all of Foster's strength.

He really did not expect that Vega actually used the lives of 2000 million civilians in the northern city of Kaleni as a bargaining chip to ask him to offer his loyalty. If any strategic city in the north was lost, Vega would launch a massacre plan in Kaleni. Inspired by the massacre of a dragon army.

So there is only one choice left for Foster.

That is to offer loyalty to the northern regime and defend the entire north for Veigar.

Unless he has the ability to take over the entire north overnight, if he betrays Vega, Foster will have to watch the civilians in other cities being massacred by Vega, especially his hometown Kaleni City, which may disappear completely On the Garan Continent.

But is it really no problem to use the officers who come under such coercion?
