Mage Veigar

Chapter 273: Soldiers attack the bandit's nest
Early in the morning.

In the eastern part of the empire, the city of Shelantu.

In the dark alley closest to the city gate, 11 figures gathered, led by Deputy Brigade Commander Dendre Grimm, who was wearing a large cloak and a mask, and following him was a team of shadow mages.

"No. 1, is everything done?"

Dandali glanced behind him and saw that no one was chasing him, so he felt relieved and asked what happened.

"It's done."

No. 1 said respectfully, "Two hours ago, as you requested, the body that the law enforcement team had kept was destroyed. The autopsy report that was stored in the archives and all the people who had read the report were also deleted to ensure that they could not find anything on us."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the ace of our army."

Dandeli showed a look of relief, and at the same time he gritted his teeth and said, "I just didn't expect that the little devil would do such a cruel thing in order to throw dirty water on us."

He really never thought that Vega would frame him.

He had figured out the temperament of the government system before launching this assassination operation. Generally speaking, the law enforcement team was unwilling to spend a lot of effort on such trivial matters, so he did not even plan to secretly destroy the bodies on the airship.

Coupled with Vega's move to take advantage of the situation, he had no choice but to give up the assassination.

But just as he was about to return to Elkia to make other plans.

He received intelligence that the law enforcement team was investigating the real culprit of the airship incident and had blocked the city gates.

This news really scared him, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately ordered the Shadow Mage Team to investigate and secretly destroy the evidence.

Thanks to the efficiency of the Shadow Mage Team, he soon learned the truth.

Half of the law enforcement team protecting that kid died?
The moment he heard the news, he subconsciously thought that someone else also wanted to kill Veigar. Dandali even gloated over it, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore because he thought of the key point.

"The thief cries thief, frames others, kills with borrowed knives, and watches the fire from the other side of the river."

This series of combined punches almost killed him on the spot.

The more Dandeli thought about it, the angrier he got. He punched the wall and said, "Why is this damn kid so skilled?"

Look at this experienced technique.

Look at the realistic acting.

How could a teenager do such a cruel thing? If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed. There is such a fantasy in this world.

It is not too late.

Anyway, he has destroyed the evidence, and the people in the government system can't do anything to him without evidence. Of course, the premise is how to get rid of the law enforcement team who are chasing him.

"Commander, they are catching up with us again."

No. 1 noticed some figures gathering in the distance and quickly reported to Dandali.

That's right, although they successfully destroyed the bodies and related evidence, they were discovered by the law enforcement team during their retreat, so the law enforcement team is now chasing them relentlessly. Since there is a Word Spirit Mage among them, they have no choice but to escape.

Once you are caught on the spot by the law enforcement team, you will probably not be able to clear your name no matter how hard you try.

"Let's get out of town."

Dendari's magic power exploded and he flew towards the city gate at a rapid speed.

The chase and escape lasted for a whole day and night, but the law enforcement team seemed determined to catch them this time. Even though Dandel had escaped hundreds of miles away from Xielantu, the law enforcement team had no intention of giving up.

"Ahem, this damn law enforcement team, when did they become so dedicated?"

Dandelli's face turned pale. He began to realize that the law enforcement team was serious this time. He had never heard of a law enforcement team that was good at slacking off being so difficult to deal with. "Master Brigadier, where should we go?"

No. 1 was obviously a little depressed: "The law enforcement team even used the war airship. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before we are caught."

"Captain, now that we've arrived in Elkia, are we still afraid of a mere law enforcement team?" A team member looked disdainfully at the war airships roaming around in the sky.

"idiot."

Upon hearing this, No. 1 angrily rebuked: "Returning to Elkia now is tantamount to walking into a trap. Do you really think the military will fall out with the government system on the spot to protect the brigade commander?"

"This……"

Just when everyone was speechless, Dandeli made the decision, "Let's go to the bandit's nest in Rope Forest. It's time to move the chess pieces that we have spent more than 10 years training. If the law enforcement team dares to follow us, let them regret it for the rest of their lives."

Number 1's eyes lit up.

Only he knew that the real reason why Dandeli would actively apply for the thankless task of suppressing bandits every year was that as early as 10 years ago, Dandeli had used his position to take over those bandit nests for his own use.

in short.

The uncrowned king on the Elkia-Shelantu National Road is none other than Dandri Grimm, deputy commander of the 10th Army Independent Heavy Brigade. He started playing the trick of the thief crying "stop thief" more than years earlier than Vega.

So after a few days, Dandri successfully entered the Rope Forest.

The law enforcement team that followed closely behind encountered a crazy ambush by the bandits. The bandits took advantage of their large numbers and control of the terrain, making it difficult for the law enforcement team to move in the forest. Even the law enforcement team's war airship was sunk by two commercial airships from the bandit's nest.

The law enforcement team returned in defeat.

After all, they are not a team for war.

In addition, the law enforcement team was short of manpower and could not mobilize any reinforcements. This made Dal, the captain of the law enforcement team, extremely angry. He dreamed of giving an explanation to Vega. If he failed this time, all the clues would be cut off.

----

Elkia-Shelantu National Road.

Vega led more than 4000 troops to the target location this time - Rop Forest.

Although Commander Hausmann approved his entire army to go out, Vega did not bring all of his troops with him, because an overly bloated force would only slow down the entire army's movements and prevent it from being able to advance and retreat freely.

Moreover, to wipe out a bandit nest, one regiment-level force is more than enough, but he brought three of them, which is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If the entire army is mobilized, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"How many days will it take to reach the destination?"

While the army was setting up camp, Vega asked his adjutant Ilo.

“It will probably take another five days.”

Yiluo glanced at the two war airships in the sky, and then said: "If you are willing to use the war airship, I think we can reach our destination tomorrow evening."

"no need."

Vega waved his hand. Although he brought two transport-type war airships to participate in the mission, he did not intend to use the war airships to airlift the entire army, because he was not very confident about the war airships.

If another airship shoots him down, even 10 lives won’t be enough to kill him.

In the many wars in the Land of War, Vega lost several times because he thought his airspace was safe and his war airships were shot down or sunk. Therefore, in the wars in the real world, he would rather walk than fly.

Of course, such a long journey from the imperial capital to the east was not a last resort.

After hurrying for a long time, Vega arrived near the Rop Forest on the fifth day. At this time, he ran into the law enforcement team that had returned after being defeated. The person leading them was an old acquaintance of Vega - the law enforcement team leader, Dal.
