Mage Veigar

Chapter 119 Commitment
Outside.

The commander of the 7th Division, Alcott Owen, lit a cigarette.

He looked at the dark sky in the distance, and when he exhaled a puff of smoke, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This kid is pretty good."

There was no trace of anger on Olcott's face, and he looked completely admiring of Vega.

This was only natural, because he had not expected that Vega, who was only a teenager, actually knew how to deal with people. Although Vega and him were scolding each other, as if they had an irreconcilable hatred, this was just an act for the commander-in-chief.

Vega is arguing with him.

The deeper meaning I want to convey to the commander-in-chief is that it's not that he, Olcott, has failed to manage his officers well, but that this matter is so big that he, as the division commander, is not qualified to know about it, so my subordinates bypassed him and reported directly to you.

With just a few words, the relationship was completely severed.

If he had to explain it in other ways, even if he talked until dark, he would inevitably have to take the blame in front of Foster for not managing his subordinates well, and he didn't want to do something that would lower his reputation.

So to a large extent.

When the commander-in-chief told him to "get out", it meant that even if the matter was a huge responsibility, he, Gunther's superior, no longer had to take responsibility. And if the matter was a good one, he could even get an extra evaluation of being a good teacher.

Now Alcott is quite satisfied with Vega.

This game of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang is not something that everyone can play. Alcott has even been thinking that if this kid can get through this difficult time, he should indeed be taken good care of.

Today it is today.

Vega finally left a very deep impression on Alcott.

That's not all.

Vega not only impressed Olcott, but also impressed the commander-in-chief.

If the last conversation only gave him a vague impression of Vega, then now, Commander-in-Chief Foster was completely shocked by Vega.

Shock?

How long has it been since he felt this way?
Having spent half his life in the military, he has experienced the destruction of cities and the death of people, as well as the line between life and death. At this point, it is no exaggeration to say that nothing can make him feel the shock again.

Even though 10 years ago the doctor told him he only had 3 years to live because of heart problems.

His family members cried bitterly because of this.

But he just said "hmm" softly, without any ripples in his heart, and even squinted his eyes a little, feeling a little sleepy. Perhaps it was from that day on that he developed the habit of speaking with squinted eyes, because he found that this world was really a bit boring.

It was so boring that he didn't even think of taking another look at it.

Then, as you can see now, even more boring things happened.

Today, 10 years later, he is still alive and well.

Fate told him a joke, as if trying to make him laugh, but unfortunately Foster not only did not laugh, but felt a little bored and wanted to sleep. On the contrary, some unrelated people were either happy or dejected.

But the little child in front of him made him feel this emotion that he had not felt for a long time again.

Yes, it was a shock.

Do you have top-secret national intelligence in your hands?
A small second lieutenant and a mere lieutenant colonel brigade commander?
There was nothing wrong with this sentence. In Foster's eyes, the second lieutenant and the lieutenant colonel were not even small enough. If one had to find an adjective, perhaps only the word "insignificant" could describe them.

So come on, let me tell you a big joke now.

This 'tiny' lever is about to lift the empire!
Perhaps others would just think that they were two frogs in a well and overestimating their own capabilities, but Foster opened his eyes wide and waited for Vega's report.

There was no report. Because at this critical moment, the second lieutenant Vega, who was dressed as a child but was older than the elders, shut his mouth like a speechless doll.

If there is anything in this life that Foster both loves and hates.

That's definitely a businessman!

This group of people should all be sent to the gallows. They only know how to say half and keep half. Once you don't give them the chips that satisfy them, they will just look at you silently without saying anything, which makes them particularly irritated.

But it's undeniable.

As long as you can give them a price that satisfies them, you can get almost anything you want from them.

the first time.

Foster placed this lieutenant, who could be described as 'insignificant' in terms of both size and status, on an equal footing. Even though it was only for a moment, it was enough.

"I can promise you that, Lieutenant."

Foster thought about it for a moment, then said, "From now on, as long as you are in Kalini, no one can do anything to you, not even me."

Vega opened his eyes wide.

Although he had expected Foster to make a big promise, he did not expect the promise to be this big.

To what extent would it take for him, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, to be unable to touch him openly?
This Veigar is unknown.

But he knew that a commander-in-chief would never break his promise for a small lieutenant like him. All he had to do was wait for this promise to be fulfilled.

Vega stepped forward and handed over the evidence.

He was not worried that Commander-in-Chief Foster would go back on his promise after obtaining the evidence.

Just as his status was not so high that the commander-in-chief would go against the judicial system just for him, his status was also not so great that Foster would betray him.

The reason is very simple.

In the game between superiors, betrayal is a common occurrence.

However, the superiors will not be stingy with giving a little candy to the inferiors. This is not only a reward for the person concerned, but also serves as a show for other inferiors.

It's like a billionaire promising you a penny.

In the absence of an IOU, he will not only give you the money, but will also double it in front of everyone. The purpose of doing this is of course to not only deceive the client and other inferiors into continuing to work for him, but also to establish an image of generosity.

therefore.

Vega handed over the evidence without hesitation.

The commander-in-chief was silent for a few minutes. Although there was no expression on his face, Vega was keenly aware that Foster was extremely uneasy because his right hand was clenched until it turned white.

"You guys go down first."

Foster did not mention the evidence, but said in a calm tone: "Lieutenant Vega, my promise to you will be fulfilled by the day after tomorrow at the latest. And Brigadier General Ganser, your position may be moved, please prepare for the handover in advance."

"Thank you, Commander."

Veigar and Gunther looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

But before this smug smile lasted for a minute, the adjutant hurriedly walked in from the door and reported a piece of news that was not too friendly to Vega.

Imperial Military Procuratorate, 3 Prosecutor Geralt requested a meeting.
