Chapter 684
Stay east.

Or shift the center of gravity westward.

This was the dilemma that Grand Duke Baya was in.

Staying in the east and doing all we can to defend the country and temporarily resist Qi Lisi and Tanier, who have no successors, but when Vega recovers, he has no confidence in fighting against the Garan Empire on the west bank.

But he was unwilling to leave the east side like this.

This is their homeland, and all their foundations are here. Even if he wants to agree to this, the ministers will never allow it.

Because the westward shift of the center of gravity is only a backup plan.

That was the choice he made when he was at the end of the mountain and had no way to retreat. Now they haven't reached the point where they are in a dilemma, and they don't even resist a little, but hand over the country to Qi Lisi, how willing he is.

But as Aiden Gary said.

Now is not the time to be short-sighted. Since Aiden won consecutive battles in the west and destroyed the two countries, Grand Duke Baya's ambition has expanded to the extent of conquering the world. Since he wants to conquer the world, he must try to let go of some things.

"Order!"

Regardless of the objections of the ministers and the life and death of the civilians, the Grand Duke of Baya withstood the pressure and issued an order: "The Principality of Baya will abandon everything in the east from today, and its center of gravity will move westward."

"Your Majesty, you are self-destructing the inheritance!"

"We haven't reached the end of the mountain yet, please think twice."

"Abandoning the east is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm, Your Majesty."

"..."

The courtiers still objected, but Grand Duke Baya got angry: "This matter is settled like this. It is best to prepare as soon as possible. If anyone does not want to go west with me, he can stay here and wait for death."

Faced with this firm order, the courtier had nothing to say.

And Aiden Gary let out a long sigh of relief.

This is a test. If the Grand Duke Baya is really unwilling to leave for the benefit of this side or unable to withstand the pressure like those high-ranking officials, then he will choose to leave here to find another way out.

Aiden, who has grown up to this day, understands it very well.

In this world, if you want to gain something, you must pay. If you don't want to pay anything, you will definitely get nothing.

Abandoning the east side is indeed a huge loss in the short term, but the principality has since then made a clean break with the past and embarked on a new journey. Coupled with the new defeat of the west in the east, he is sure to bring the principality of Baya to a new height.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will return to the west to preside over the overall situation first."

After Aiden Gary finished speaking, he left the chamber directly and rushed back to the west alone.

However, what Aiden didn't notice was that although his military talent had indeed grown to the level of a famous general in the world because of his constant fights with Veigar, he was not proficient in the ways of the world and politicians.

As a result, none of the courtiers in the entire Baya Principality are close to him.

Not just courtiers...

Even Grand Duke Baya began to dislike this general who speaks aggressively and doesn't give him any face because of his military achievements and abilities.If one day the war ends and the Principality of Baya unifies the mainland, Aiden will be worthless, so he must be the first to kill him.

----

A few days later.

Celis Rodney and Tenniel Rheinberg received the news that the center of gravity of the Principality of Baya had shifted to the west.

"I didn't expect that the Principality of Baya would retreat without a fight."

Tenniel Rheinberg sighed and said: "It seems that the gap between me and Master Vega has widened again. Now his reputation can make a big country move westward, and we have fought more than two times here. In the monthly battle, they failed to win the entire Baya Principality, and even fell to the point where they have to put all their eggs in one basket."

"Why should the general be humble?"

Qi Lisi threw the battle plan that Tanier handed over to her a few days ago into the fire: "If the news of the victory on the West Bank has not come, and the Principality of Baya has not moved westward because of this, I am afraid that they will die in a few days. It will be reduced to history, maybe this time Vega indirectly helped the Principality of Baya."

"Hahaha."

Tanier said with a smile: "It's absurd, the risk of this plan is too great after all, the hope of victory is less than 1%, it is the right way to scare off the Principality of Baya, and take the entire Principality without a single soldier. Except In addition, there is one more thing I want to ask you, miss."

"Please tell me, the general."

"What is our next plan?"

Tanier looked at Qi Lisi and said: "Now our foundation has been established, the empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom are not moving, and the east coast of the Holy Dynasty has also fallen into the hands of the two countries. I am afraid that we will not be able to maintain it in a short time. Master Jia will join us."

"I think we're doing nothing right now, that's the most correct course of action."

Qi Lisi looked at the map and said: "All the countries have been defeated, and then we only need to take corresponding actions according to the next movements of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Empire, and Vega. Now this situation requires one person to break the deadlock, but This person must not be us."

"Presumably this person is Lord Veigar."

Tanier chuckled: "The dynasty has collapsed, and on the premise that there is no need to pay attention to public opinion, plus this new king's coronation battle, it is enough for Lord Vega to remove the word "interim president" and officially stand as the emperor. Come out."

"I don't think it's now."

Qi Lisi showed a gentle smile: "Vega, he has always been a conceited and greedy brat. Although this war gave him the prestige to be crowned king, he still lacks a coronation place that matches the status of an emperor. .”

"what do you mean……"

"He's not going to let it go."

Qi Lisi pointed to the east bank and said: "If I'm not wrong, he will definitely return with a big victory. Everyone doesn't know his details, so he took the initiative to send troops to the east bank, so as to scare away the Holy Dragon Kingdom. and the Allied Forces of the Empire."

"Will the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom really retreat?"

"Having seen the war that directly overwhelmed the nations, do they dare not retreat?"

Tenniel frowned and pondered for a while, then looked at Qi Lisi and said: "Without knowing the details of the West Bank, if it were me, I would definitely not dare to fight it, but it is also possible to test it a little bit before retreat."

"Want to test us?"

"Don't forget one thing—"

"I'm best at bluffing!"

In the big city of Dunbu on the west bank, Vega said confidently to the officers.

As Qi Lisi imagined, the time for the coronation has come, but he thinks it is not enough, how can the mere city of Dunbu be worthy of the status of king, announcing the rise of the new dynasty and the fall of the old dynasty must be Saint Laurent!

Only by being crowned in the city of Saint Laurent can the subjects of the dynasty be aware of it.

The Holy Dynasty has indeed become history, but the successor of the Holy Dynasty, the Jialan Empire, will stand up again on this land, and they can completely dedicate their faith to this new country again.

Because faith does not disappear.

Faith is just inherited in another way.
