Mage Veigar

Chapter 157: The Chess Player is Ruthless

laugh?
Of course you have to laugh.

As mentioned before, the Shadow Mage who manipulates shadows will not expose his body to danger. Even if the target of the mission has been killed by him, it definitely does not mean that he will expose his body and put himself in danger.

Therefore, this smiling Vega is still a replica.

When Vega left the building, the mirror image collapsed due to the loss of its vision. This situation caused the upper magician Allen to completely go berserk. He was actually tricked by a shadow mage several times.

When there is no place to vent anger.

Allen completely vented his anger on Vega's teammates.

How terrifying it is when a superior elemental magician gets angry is enough to make people shudder just thinking about it. Moreover, without Bruno, the burden, Alan can unleash all kinds of powerful elemental magic without restraint.

I'm afraid that during this round of Alan's anger, no more than half of the shadow mages will be able to escape.

But is Foster's target really just Bruno?
Obviously not.

Vega, who had already fled the scene, was shocked to find that the highly destructive magic that had appeared an hour and a half ago - Fire Meteor - appeared again in the sky.

The moment he saw the fire meteorite, Vega's expression changed.

What's the point of releasing fire meteorites at the enemy's temporary combat command center at this time? You should know that there are more than 20 shadow mages who have not escaped. If these three fire meteorites come down, not to mention the shadow mages, even the upper-level magicians will be reduced to ashes. By doing this, wouldn't Foster mean the lives of many mages in the Shadow Mage Squadron?

Standing on a tall building in the distance, Vega fell into deep thought.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Vega felt, because he finally understood Foster's plan.

While sacrificing a squadron of shadow mages to capture Bruno, one also has to kill the enemy's superior magician. Using a squadron of shadow mages to exchange for a superior magician does not seem to be a disadvantage from the perspective of war.

The fire meteorite, with a long tail, finally landed on the enemy's temporary combat command post.

boom--

A terrifying noise echoed and a mushroom-shaped cloud rose into the sky.

In this situation, it was absolutely too late for the Sky Guardian to chant, so the Shadow Mage Squadron and the upper magician Allen all died under these three fire meteorites.

Feeling cold all over the body.

bristle.

Now only these eight words can describe Vega's inner world. He never imagined that in the eyes of Commander-in-Chief Foster, they were all pawns that could be sacrificed.

Exchange a cannon for a car.

If it were on a chessboard, this wouldn't seem like a disadvantage.

but!

This is not a chess game, but a real war. Foster chose to drop the fire meteorite even though he knew that the Shadow Mage Squadron had not yet evacuated. If he had not left in time, he would probably have become dust in the air.

Abandoned once again.

Vega showed no emotion. The first time, in order to maintain the so-called rules, his Imperial Wings were frozen, which directly wiped out his past contributions and almost killed him under the trial of the trial system.

And what about the second time?
The second time, he did not die in front of the enemy, but was almost killed by the magic of his friendly forces. It was at this time that Vega truly understood that in the eyes of the chess player, chess pieces are just chess pieces after all.

"One day, I want to be the one playing chess!"

Vega looked at the smoke and dust that had not dissipated for a long time, and his heart was still restless. In this cold world, if you cannot become a chess player, then you are just a chess piece that can be discarded at will. Whether it is an empire or a kingdom, there is no pure land in this world.

Want a smooth life?

This is not a peaceful and prosperous world. In this turbulent world, if you want such a life, you must jump out of the chessboard and become a chessboard controller like Foster.

Vega memorized this scene, then turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

In his hand he held a recording crystal, which recorded the scene of how Bruno was killed. He wanted to use this achievement to exchange for a position as a middle-level officer. Only by continuously gaining military merit could he get out of the chessboard.

Because the empire is a military state.

As long as you have enough military merits, you can continue to be promoted until you become a chess player like Foster.

In the process of gaining military merit, the most important rule must be kept in mind:

Don't trust anyone except yourself, even if he is your teammate.

Veigar returned to the gate of the Professional Guild.

At a glance, he saw the elite mage guards who were still in a state of war, and Foster Nolan, who was like a moon surrounded by stars.

Vega's eyes flashed with anger, but it was quickly hidden. He stepped forward and reported, "Commander-in-Chief, I have fulfilled my mission and killed the enemy's highest commander, former Director of the General Law Enforcement Bureau Bruno Valen."

Foster took the video crystal from Vega.

He did not answer Vega's words immediately, but looked at Vega's young figure with surprise. If everything went well, Vega should have gone to hell with the upper magician, so why did he appear here?

"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant."

Foster said in a normal tone, "I knew that assigning you to the Shadow Mage Squadron would bring some unexpected surprises. I didn't expect that you would really give me such a big surprise. Let us take care of the rest of the war. You can go back to the air-raid shelter and have a good rest. You can look forward to the subsequent rewards."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Vega did not ask any unnecessary questions, because the matter was already clear. If he went to question the chess player as a chess piece, it would not only anger the chess player, but also cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he had to remain silent at this time.

Looked up.

Vega took a deep look at Foster's open eyes, then walked towards the underground air-raid shelter without looking back.

That’s right, those were a pair of eyes full of surprise.

Wonder why he didn't have a death look in his eyes.

How ironic and helpless! To Vega, this was simply a naked insult. This look was now firmly engraved in Vega's heart, and it always reminded him that the only person he could trust in this world was himself.

creak-

Back in his single room in the air-raid shelter, Vega fell asleep.

Having lost their commander and their superior magician, victory in the war is no longer a foregone conclusion. I'm afraid the Kingdom's army has been completely routed.

But none of this mattered to him, for his mission had been accomplished.

As for killing some professionals to improve his mental strength, Vega didn't want to do it. After all, a person's efficiency is too low. Once he becomes a middle-level officer, in any battle, the efficiency of his subordinates will be ten or a hundred times higher than his personal efficiency.

Therefore, what Vega has to do next is to look forward to how much benefit this military achievement can bring him.
