Chapter 699 Reaching a Contract
Red Leaf Fortress.

Veigar's 30 troops have been stationed here for more than five days.

During these five days, he did not rush to launch an attack, but quietly waited for someone——

Imperial emissary.

When he took down the Red Leaf Fortress, Veigar knew that the empire would definitely send envoys to him for peace talks, because everyone could understand that the empire's primary target now was not him, but the rebels in the country.

Continue to let it go.

When the rebel army continued to expand and became out of control, it became very difficult to kill it.

But the prerequisite for cleaning up the rebel army is that it cannot be taken advantage of by other forces.

This other faction refers to Veigar himself.

As long as he does not leave the territory of the empire, the empire will not dare to take drastic actions against the rebels.

Therefore, it is the best choice to send an envoy to seek peace and let him retreat.

To make him retreat, he must need a bargaining chip, which is self-evident, and that is the entire east coast.

knock knock --

While Veigar was idling, a guard knocked on the door.

"Commander, the messenger of the empire requests to meet with you."

"It's finally here, the empire is really anxious."

Everything was as Vega had guessed beforehand, the imperial envoys really came to the Red Leaf Fortress, and it only took five days from making a decision to dispatching the envoys, which made Vega very surprised.

In the case of blocked air routes.

From the imperial capital to the Red Leaf Fortress, it takes at least 10 days for a large-scale march. A small team of about ten people can go into battle lightly, and if it is rushed day and night, it can arrive in about three days. But such a big event, the empire only took two days. The decision was made on time, which surprised Vega very much.

Or……

When he took down the Red Leaf Fortress, the empire had already discussed this matter?

If this matter has been discussed in advance, then the empire must have already made plans to take action against the rebels. After all, the premise of taking down the rebels is that he retreats to the West Bank. This kind of thing can be speculated.

So Veigar was in no hurry to see the messenger.

He ordered to the adjutant: "Send someone to the rebels Coverdale and tell them that we are about to retreat, and the empire is estimated to take action against them in the near future to make them more vigilant."

"Yes, Commander."

After dispatching his adjutants, Veigar went to the reception hall to meet the imperial envoy.

"Meet the President."

Since Veigar's real title to the outside world is the interim president of the Jialan Empire, it is not wrong for the envoys of other countries to call Veigar that way.

"Please sit down."

Veigar signaled the envoy to sit down, then looked him up and down.

The emissary was a lieutenant general, and by letting a lieutenant general come to the enemy camp alone, the empire gave Vega enough face. After all, for the empire whose senior generals were cut off by Qi Lisi, every general is especially important now. valuable.

"Thank you, Mr. President."

The envoy sat upright, not daring to be presumptuous at all.

This is completely different from the proud empire in the past. If it were in the past, the envoys of the empire might have put on a lofty posture, as if I think highly of you when I negotiate with you.

Seeing the humility of the empire, Veigar didn't smile.

Instead, he frowned instead.

An empire that is proud, arrogant, and regards glory and dignity as its life is not terrible to Veigar.

Because of dignity, glory, brilliance, responsibility... these things, in Vega's view, can indeed improve the morale and the soldiers' sense of belonging to the force, but they will also form a huge obstacle to the force. There is a saying that a soldier must be proud defeat.

So overall.

Once too much attention is paid to things such as glory and dignity, it will cause great harm to a force, and many times they will be restrained or act arbitrarily because of the fetters of these things.

See the big from the small.

Now this envoy has actually given up his former glory and dignity and treated him with a humble attitude, which shows that the empire has probably abandoned those burdens and truly embarked on the high road of unscrupulous means.

Therefore, Veigar did not feel any joy about the attitude of the envoy, but was worried.

Modesty and humbleness are synonymous with the weak.

But it is also because of humility and humbleness that the weak have the possibility to defeat the strong. Now that the empire has picked up these two most powerful weapons, Veigar realizes that the good days of the rebel army are probably coming to an end.

I'm afraid for the rebels.

After this winter, it will no longer be a spring full of flowers, but an ice age with no end in sight.

"Your Excellency."

The envoy of the empire didn't realize that there were so many thoughts in Veigar's mind during this minute, and he didn't even realize the deep vigilance towards him and the empire behind Veigar's expression.

Seeing that the time was about the same, he said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, this time, on behalf of the empire, I would like to make a deal with you. Invasion, our country will also transfer back the troops on the east coast of your country, what do you think?"

"When will your country withdraw its troops?"

Veigar's answer was straightforward, without even bargaining.

This also made the lieutenant general who had prepared a long speech subconsciously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Vega's answer to be so straightforward, so he quickly said: "As long as you agree, our country can immediately order the withdrawal of troops. Everything is up to you."

"In this case, let's have a happy cooperation."

Veigar stood up, saluted the envoy, and then left the reception room after exchanging a few words of courtesy. It didn't even take more than half an hour to add up, which made the envoy feel very unreal.

"This Vega Saint Laurent."

The messenger smiled wryly, and then returned to the capital with the contract.

And Veigar also began to order the whole army to prepare for retreat, and there was no muddy place.

This is also of course.

He didn't have an absolute advantage in this transaction. The real lion opened his mouth and angered the empire. They might have given up the idea of ​​peace talks and used their huge army base to fight him to the death.

Really start a war like this.

Veigar felt that he had no possibility of advancing the front line at all, and it would instead reveal his strong outside but weak inside.

Moreover, the withdrawal of the troops on the east bank is probably already the bottom line of the empire, and it is very unrealistic to make them pay more. Therefore, instead of wasting saliva here, Veigar thinks it is better to pack up and go home earlier.

It is also because the empire does not want to entangle with Veigar.

Vega wanted to quickly take back the east bank and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

That's why the two parties hit it off and reached such a contract.

As for the promise in the contract to never invade for five years?
Now that the summits of various countries have completely collapsed, and international treaties are useless, it is not a matter of whether to attack or not.
