Mage Veigar

Chapter 269 Framing the blame
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.

Judging from this sentence alone, Vega can only wait passively and cannot take the initiative to attack.

Just as you cannot catch the moon in the water, you cannot attack an enemy whose name you do not even know.

But Vega thought of a solution.

Although this method may seem like repaying kindness with enmity, if one wants to accomplish great things, how can one be so soft-hearted?

That's right, he wants to kill the law enforcement officers here!

Frame someone else, this is the method Vega came up with.

As long as he kills some of the law enforcement officers here and leaves no evidence, the blame will naturally fall on the unknown enemy who launched the assassination attempt on him. At that time, the government system will definitely organize people to start a vigorous investigation.

Aren’t you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself?

Vega believes that his acting skills are not bad, and his identity as a general and the victim will help him clear suspicion. Unless everyone in the law enforcement team is a Death God elementary school student, no one would think that he is the thief crying "stop thief".

When the time comes, the dirty water will be thrown on the mastermind, and he will not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the sea.

"This move is already checkmate."

Vega smiled brightly.

This smile made Ilo, who was standing beside him, feel a chill in his heart for no reason, while the law enforcement captain Dal, who was far away, did not notice the meaning of Vega's smile. He saw the smile and waved to Vega in a friendly manner.

Raising his right hand, Vega also waved in a friendly manner, and the atmosphere was quite "harmonious".

Darkness soon fell.

At two o'clock in the morning, Vega performed a trick and disappeared in the tent.

Because of his status as a general, he had a tent all to himself, so he didn't have to worry about anyone discovering him disappearing inexplicably in the tent, which made his movements more convenient.

Trickery gains a huge bonus in darkness.

When Vega walked out of the tent, he found that the two law enforcement officers who were on night watch had begun to doze off, so he came up behind them without anyone noticing and gently picked up the cross sword that the law enforcement officer had placed next to him.

stab.

The sword pierced the flesh and killed him with one blow.

The sword cut the law enforcement officer's throat, and he breathed his last without even making a sound.

Vega acted quickly. Although a law enforcement officer nearby woke up first, he was killed by Vega's sword before he could sound the alarm. The two law enforcement officers who were on guard were all killed.

What's next...

Veigar began to transform into the god of death and slaughtered the law enforcement officers.

Of course, the law enforcement team was not completely unaware. When Vega broke into the tent and killed one of the law enforcement team members, the other team members woke up immediately and sent out a warning signal.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The torches were lit and the whole camp was in an uproar.

Law enforcement captain Dahl rushed out with a sword in his hand without even having time to put on his coat. The first thing that caught his eye was the corpses lying all over the place, the number had exceeded 15.

"Where are the enemies?"

Dar asked, grabbing one of the team members by the collar.

"Shadow Mage, it's Shadow Mage."

The law enforcement officer looked around in panic, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. It was obvious that he was frightened.

"Useless trash."

Dar was furious. He pointed at the law enforcement officers who were still calm and said, "Follow me. First, ensure the safety of Brigadier General Vega."

The group walked quickly towards Vega's tent.

But just when they were halfway there, a loud noise was heard, and Vega's tent collapsed instantly. A dark shadow rushed into the woods in front of Dahl and the others. "Catch him."

Dal immediately rushed towards the direction of the shadow, but just halfway through, Vega's voice came.

"Captain Dahl, cough cough cough——"

Hearing Vega's weak voice, Dal paused and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw Vega being pressed under the tent with a broken sword stuck in his right shoulder, and bright red blood was oozing out.

There was a thump in my heart.

Dahl realized that the problem was serious and that the thank-you letter might turn into a letter of accountability.

"Doctor, doctor, come here quickly."

Dar was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He immediately rushed to Vega and said, “General, are you okay?”

With his stuttering voice and extremely panicked expression, Dahl was almost crying.

"Ahem, it's okay here."

Veigar's face turned pale, and he said in a very weak voice: "I have injured that Shadow Mage. Hurry up and take your brothers to chase him. Don't let him escape. I will not let this go."

His eyelids twitched, and Dahl wiped the cold sweat with his trembling right hand.

When he heard the words "I won't let it go", he was extremely scared. If the murderer was not caught, all the blame would probably fall on his head, and being dismissed would be a light punishment.

Therefore, Vega's order hit the mark, and he waved his hand.

He pointed at the military doctor who had hurried over, then glanced at the law enforcement officers who had gathered and said, "Take good care of the general. The rest of you, follow me. Don't let that damn assassin go."

slam-la-

The group followed him into the forest.

Seeing this, a subtle smile appeared in Vega's eyes.

Because there is no murderer here at all. The one who just escaped into the forest was the mirror image used by Vega to create an alibi and clear himself of suspicion. After Vega's delay, the mirror image that left the sight had long since evaporated, so Dal and his law enforcement team could not possibly find any clues.

In Veigar's understanding, magic is not only applicable to combat.

Therefore, half an hour later, Dahl returned empty-handed as expected: "I'm sorry, General. We failed to catch the murderer. May I ask how serious your injury is..."

Dal looked at Vega's right shoulder with some fear, fearing that Vega would get furious.

However, Vega put on a friendly smile and said, "Don't worry, Captain Dahl. It's just a minor injury. I think he will recover after a month or two of rest. It's because of my matter that so many brothers in the law enforcement team have been implicated."

Having said this, Vega symbolically squeezed out a tear.

"General, I deserve to die."

This time, Dal knelt on one knee in front of Vega. This kind of courtesy showed his absolute submission.

It can't be considered a minor injury if it requires one or two months of rest. This is what a real general does.

Not only did he not blame him for his dereliction of duty, he even blamed himself for accidentally implicated the law enforcement team.

Dal was so moved by Vega's words that he almost shed tears. He had already sworn in his heart that even if Vega did not pursue the matter, he would exaggerate the matter and report it to his superiors, and crush those who wanted to assassinate Vega to ashes.

At this point, Vega knew that the show could come to an end.

Through this frame-up, the government system and the mastermind behind the incident have become enemies.

Next, for the sake of face and to give Vega an explanation, the government system will definitely make great efforts to get to the bottom of the whole thing, and he can just sit back and enjoy the results.

The only ones who should feel sorry are the innocent law enforcement officers who died.

But in order to arouse the wrath of the government system, these deaths were necessary.

Therefore, whether you say that he has a twisted personality or is dark and mean by nature, it is a pity that he is just that kind of person.
