Mage Veigar

Chapter 143: Word Spirit Mage

North city gate.

Vega moved towards the city gate alone.

His original plan was to escape from Kareni and find an opportunity to make a comeback. Now he needed to find out the defense situation of the city gate, formulate a feasible plan, and then once again trick Wolfe and his troops into following him out of the siege.

Although these 800 soldiers are just a drop in the bucket.

But more people would attract more attention from the Kingdom Army, and his chances of breaking through would be greater.

Veigar was not so arrogant as to think that he could sneak out of the city gate without anyone noticing with his identity as a shadow mage. Even if he had to guess, he knew that the defense of the city gate was not comparable to the simple defense line in the central area.

Come near.

Vega has seen that there are soldiers from the kingdom guarding the city walls. Even the flag flying above the city walls has been replaced with the kingdom's golden lion flag. This shows that in the kingdom's army's subconscious, the city has been captured by them.

Then look down.

The huge and heavy city gate was tightly closed, and a squadron of about 40 professionals was firmly controlling the gate.

If that were all, Vega wouldn't care too much.

What really concerned Vega was that in addition to the 40 professionals, there were also two magicians wearing cloaks.

An elemental mage holding a staff, obviously with amazing attack and destructive power.

The other magician has no spellcasting medium in his hands, and his attributes are unknown for the time being.

But just these two magicians are enough to give Veigar a headache. After all, the elemental mage's terrifying attack power is enough to defeat any troops that want to launch an attack from the front, and guerrilla tactics are completely ineffective here.

But it's not impossible.

You know, Veigar is a shadow mage, and the role of a shadow mage in a war is to kill firepower output points like elemental mages. As long as they can kill this elemental mage and open the city gate before the reinforcements arrive...

Trickery style, start.

Veigar instantly activated the Trickery ritual, but it was not to assassinate the Elemental Mage. Although the skill points were very tempting, a little impatience could ruin a big plan, and Veigar did not intend to do something that would alert the enemy.

His real purpose was to find out where the large troops were stationed.

As long as he finds the base of the large army, he can estimate the approximate time it will take for the enemy's support troops to arrive at the city gate. In other words, he needs to take the city gate within a few minutes to have a chance to break out successfully.

Any plan needs to be comprehensive.

Especially for a breakout plan that involves risking one's life, even a small loophole could cause the entire plan to fail.

Veigar began to approach the city wall.

It is speculated that support troops are usually stationed closest to the city gate.

But according to Vega's memory, there was no large area nearby for the enemy's large-scale troops to rest and station.

Therefore, he planned to start searching along both directions of the city gate.

But as soon as he approached the city gate, Vega noticed that one of the magicians was looking in his direction.

The one looking at him was not the elemental mage, but the magician of unknown attributes.

"Coincidence? Or..."

Veigar stopped moving. To be honest, he was quite confident in his trick. Besides, he was a Level 5 magician now. It was very difficult to detect his whereabouts. Even in the daytime, a Level 5 magician was required. Level magicians were not easy to find.

In this world where magicians are generally of low level, a level 5 magician is already considered a master.

Therefore, Veigar just regarded it as a coincidence.

He maintained his trickery posture and continued to move two steps to the right. As expected, the other party did not follow him.

"It seems to be a coincidence."

Veigar breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the strength of a Shadow Mage was about the same as that of a stronger professional. The thing that really frightened people about a Shadow Mage was his elusiveness. The magic that could not even be detected by mental power was the nightmare of all elemental mages.

Once the Shadow Mage's traces are discovered.

Then for the elemental mage who focuses on war, he is just a moving target and may even be killed instantly by the elemental mage. After all, a mere mage shield may not be able to withstand a few spells.

But so far, Vega has not encountered a magician who has discovered his tracks.

He boldly moved towards the right side of the city gate, trying to find the location of the enemy's support troops before the afternoon, so that he could make a plan at night and convince Wolfe and all the soldiers.

Ideas are beautiful.

But Vega had only taken two steps when he discovered that the magician of unknown attributes took out a spellcasting medium.

The medium through which he casts spells is a crystal ball, and he looks a bit like a word wizard or a mental magician.

Before he could think carefully, Vega saw the opponent's crystal ball light up, and then he faintly heard the sound of chanting magic. The opponent was obviously casting magic.

Spiritual Insight!
There was a wave of mental power, and then the elemental mage, who was unaware at first, suddenly opened his eyes wide and subconsciously released several fireballs in the direction of Vega.

Boom boom boom.

The explosion raised a cloud of dust, but fortunately the distance was not too close and Vega did not lose his vigilance. He immediately distanced himself from the fire magician's attack and quickly disappeared from his sight before the other party could react.

Remove the shadow technique.

Vega was covered in dust and gasping for breath. For the first time, his shadow technique failed in front of the enemy.

As for why it failed, when he saw the other party take out the crystal ball, he roughly guessed that the magician's true identity was probably the Word Spirit Mage.

The Word Spirit Mage.

These are magicians who are proficient in perception, reconnaissance, and prediction. Although they do not have any attack capabilities, they are unmatched in reconnaissance and perception. Even the elusive shadow mages cannot escape their eyes.

If they were deployed on a war airship, the elemental mages paired with them could carry out the most precise magic strikes on ground targets at an altitude of almost 1500 meters.

Lucky Word Magicians are even rarer than Shadow Mages.

Therefore, all countries can only settle for the second best and configure a firepower output combination of fire magicians and wind magicians on the war airships.

But Vega didn't expect that he would meet the strongest combination here.

With the Word Mage assisting the Elemental Mage in combat, it will be almost impossible for the Shadow Mage to assassinate the Elemental Mage. The only thing the Shadow Mage can do is to fight a head-on war.

Although he was extremely unwilling, Vega had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

And now we are back to the starting point again. If we fight a head-on battle, it will take more than half an hour to take the city gate. Moreover, the opponent also has the elemental mage as an output point, so it is still unclear whether we can win the head-on confrontation.
