Mage Veigar

Chapter 155 The end of the road

Screams came and went.

When the threat of the Word Mage was gone, the Shadow Mages were like fish in water and headed for the second floor.

Standing before them are magicians, professionals, ordinary soldiers... but none of them can match them, because humans can defeat humans, but cannot attack the elusive ghosts.

To ordinary people, Shadow Mages are ghosts.

Vega followed behind, waiting for an opportunity to finish off the professionals and ordinary soldiers who had escaped. The only pity was that the magicians were in great demand, so they were all killed before he could reach the front line. He only managed to finish off the professionals 3 times.

Although he felt a little regretful, Vega did not regret it.

Although killing professionals and magicians can improve strength, gain skill points, and obtain the greatest number of military merits, rewards come with dangers. The few shadow mages who were at the front are now nowhere to be found, not even their bones can be found.

And these military achievements are just a small part of it.

What really concerned Vega was Bruno's head.

As long as he can get Bruno's head, the credit for this operation will be his. If this war can be won, regardless of other things, based on his performance so far, it is time for him to be promoted to a middle-level officer.

In the Third Army, middle-level officers are those above deputy regimental level and below brigade level.

Therefore, Veigar's goal is very clear. He can ignore these small fish and shrimps, but he must chop off Bruno's head with his own hands. Even if they are teammates, they can't try to hinder his promotion.

While I was thinking, the defense line on the second floor was breached.

However, there was no sign of Bruno on the entire second floor, so the Shadow Mage Squadron continued to advance towards the third floor.

The strongest defense line on the first floor was broken, and there was no effective defense force on the second floor at all, so this time they broke through the defense line and reached the third floor in less than 5 minutes.

Along the way, there were broken limbs everywhere. This was a one-sided massacre.

----

On the roof.

Bruno sat on a chair, holding a goblet in his hand.

He sipped red wine gracefully, without any sense of urgency about war, and standing beside him was his new assistant and the high-ranking magician who was maintaining the protection of the sky.

A magician's strength is directly proportional to his age.

This high-ranking magician already had gray hair, and judging from his sickly body, it could be seen that he did not have many years left to live.

But none of this matters.

Because next, he would most likely die before this superior magician.

As for why...

He really didn't expect that Foster would have the opportunity to transfer the Shadow Mage Squadron back to Kalini.

There is no need to say much about the reputation of the Shadow Mage Squadron.

Bruno was afraid that Foster would be transferred back to the Shadow Mage Squadron, so he asked the 1st Airborne Division to guard the four gates of Kalini strictly and even sent out rare and precious Word Wizards.

But even with such strict defense, Foster was still transferred back to the troops.

The situation was no longer under his control. If this war could be compared to a board game, then at the beginning he relied on the surprise attack to make Foster suffer a great loss, but Foster used his rich experience to completely defeat him.

There was nothing wrong with it, it was checkmate, not check.

If he were the king on the chessboard.

Now the only remaining guard is this upper magician, but he needs to maintain the magic "Sky Guardian". This upper magician has no problem protecting himself, but he has no hands to protect him. If the Sky Guardian is withdrawn, the Shadow Mage Squadron can be repelled.

But without the protection of the sky, the temporary command center would probably be destroyed in an instant by the high-level magic of the Imperial Army.

So this is checkmate, not check.

Bruno looked in the direction of the Imperial Army. Foster was clearly telling him that even if he gave you a piece at the beginning, or even gave up the initiative of the game, you were still no match for me.

Advance means death, retreat means death.

Since he knew he was going to die, Bruno gave up struggling. He quietly savored the red wine in his hand. This last sip of red wine before dying was especially delicious and fragrant.

bang bang bang-

The sound of fighting in the corridor has reached the rooftop.

Bruno knew that his death was approaching, so he drank the last sip of red wine and picked up the cross sword next to the chair: "Even if I lose, I will lose in a way that will make Foster grit his teeth."

He turned his head and looked at the higher-ranking magician.

Bruno gave his last order: "Mr. Allen, once the Imperial Shadow Mage Squadron attacks, please withdraw the Sky Guardian. I want to die with this Shadow Mage Squadron."

"The kingdom will remember you, Chief Bruno."

"The Kingdom will triumph."

Bruno saluted in return. "After I die, the command will be handed over to you. You can temporarily withdraw with your troops. The Imperial Army has used all its trump cards in this battle. I think with the strength of the Kingdom, there will be ways to deal with them."

Having said this, Bruno showed a sarcastic smile.

Even if he wins, what difference does it make? After all, he is not the protagonist of the Kingdom Army. Exposing all his cards just to kill this insignificant little guy is tantamount to seeking death.

He, Bruno, had indeed lost, but the kingdom had won.

boom!
Just then, a loud bang echoed.

The door leading to the rooftop was knocked open. Even though there was no one in front of him, Bruno knew that the Shadow Mage Squadron had arrived here, and his death had finally come.

The moment the door was knocked open.

The senior magician Allen also stopped maintaining the Sky Guardian.

He stood in front of Bruno with a serious expression: "Captain Bruno, please stay behind me. There are 27 shadow mages on the opposite side... No, it should be 28."

Veigar, who was hiding behind the door, fixed his gaze and met the eyes of the upper mage.

Obviously, this superior magician has regarded him as a key target of defense. In this case, it would be a bit difficult to take Bruno's head. However, there is a saying that wealth and honor are sought in danger.

Teammates also launched an attack at this time.

The moment Veigar had been waiting for finally arrived. He took advantage of the friendly forces to attract fire and took the kill.

More than 20 Shadow Mages attacked at the same time, some of them were even mid-level Shadow Mages, so even the upper-level magician did not dare to be careless. He defended himself strictly and seemed to be ready to take Bruno away from the battlefield.

This kind of thing is certainly not allowed.

Several shadow mages consciously blocked the retreat route of the upper magician, but lost their lives in the process. However, their deaths were not in vain because the upper magician Alan finally revealed a flaw.

The moment he saw the flaw, Vega realized that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come.
