Mage Veigar

Chapter 287 Destined Enemy
The mage team took a step forward.

The leaders of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th regiments were surrounded by the mage squad. They drew their cross swords and prepared to launch a blocking operation, but they stood there in a daze. They looked at Dandari with disbelief in their eyes.

"Deputy Brigade Commander, what on earth are you going to do?!"

The captain shouted angrily. Although he had followed Dandali for several years and followed Dandali's lead, how could they not order an attack at this most critical moment?

"This is delaying military aircraft."

"Don't make the mistake, Deputy Brigadier General."

"Please give the order to attack immediately."

Several group leaders hurriedly persuaded Dandali that the situation was extremely urgent.

If the Kingdom Army is allowed to pass through the ambush circle, and Brigade Commander Vega is killed by the Kingdom Army, no one here can escape this responsibility, as there are thousands of eyes watching here.

"Everyone, my plan says that we should follow the blue signal."

Dandeli took out a battle plan and turned to the third to last page, which stated that once the blue signal was seen, the flanking troops needed to launch an attack immediately.

"Mr. Deputy Brigade Commander, you are mistaken. It is clearly a red signal."

Several regiment leaders quickly took out their own plans and turned to the third-to-last page, which clearly stated that once a red signal was seen, the flanking troops needed to attack immediately, and the signal that Vega had just sent was a red signal.

"No, I think you are mistaken."

Dandali emphasized his tone and winked at the wizard, who then destroyed the plans of several team leaders on the spot. As a result, the only plan left was in Dandali's hand.

At this time, several team leaders reacted.

They immediately shouted angrily: "Lord Dandari, please don't fool yourself. There are many copies of the plan. It is almost impossible for you to escape the blame in this way. We are not fools."

Kill him for me.

At Dandali's command, the three captains who spoke were killed on the spot by the magician.

Then he showed a cruel smile: "I will take care of the aftermath. I just want you to insist that you did not see the blue signal. Now you can either join me in corruption or go to hell with the third commander. Please make your choice."

Several group leaders shrank their heads.

For the sake of their own lives, they were forced to answer.

Dandelli heard the uncertainty in the voices of several people and warned them immediately: "Of course, you can report my behavior to the commander-in-chief afterwards, but I can swear that before I die, I will drag you to hell with me."

"We will follow your lead."

Hearing the responses from several group leaders, Dandari laughed out loud.

He certainly knew that there were risks in doing so, and that the risk was fatal.

Even if Vega's troops were wiped out, as long as Vega returned to the army alive, he could be temporarily dismissed and investigated for the crime of delaying military affairs.

Just kill Vega who is now left alone?

Just like when they were in the bandit's nest, Vega didn't dare to touch Dandali in public, he also didn't dare to kill Vega in front of the soldiers. Rashly killing an imperial officer was a serious crime of treason, and treason would involve the execution of all clans along with relatives.

At most his actions now will only delay military operations.

If he was sentenced severely for delaying military affairs, he would certainly not escape death, but if he was sentenced lightly, he would probably be expelled from the army and demoted to a lower-class citizen, so he was willing to take this gamble.

This is also the reason why Vega was sure that Dandelli would not dare to do anything.

Because in a war, even if the army is completely wiped out, the commander's chances of surviving are too high. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would not do such a stupid thing.

But Dandari did it anyway.

In order to become a general, Dandali has waited too long, just as you cannot use normal logic to regulate a crazy gambler. Even if the probability of the United Kingdom killing Vega this time is less than 10%, he decided to take this gamble.

This is not the madness of losing one's mind, but the craziest sanity.

If he wins the bet, he will be able to rise to great heights and become the next general. His lifelong dream will come true.

As for losing the bet?
The worst that could happen was that he would lose his life. There was no meaning in living for someone who couldn't become a general. He was tired of living.

----

"Tell me what Dandari is doing!"

Vega roared while retreating. It had been 10 minutes since the signal was sent, but there was no movement from the flank cover troops. If he went any further, the Kingdom Army would chase him out of the ambush circle.

"Sir, I don't know."

The adjutant also said anxiously: "The enemy's troops are getting closer and closer to us. If we continue to move forward, not only will the enemy chase us to escape the encirclement, but even the infantry troops will be caught up by the enemy. By then, our entire army will not be able to escape."

"You can't run away anymore."

Vega realized that he had to stop the enemy in the ambush circle, and immediately sent people to urge Dandali to launch an attack, otherwise all the efforts would be wasted, and even his own life would be in danger.

"Stop retreating, and use all your forces to stop the enemy."

Vega gave the order immediately, and several regiments immediately turned their guns around and fought with the Kingdom Army. However, due to the hasty counterattack, they naturally suffered extremely heavy losses. Vega's heart could be described as bleeding.

Another few dozen minutes passed.

When Vega's troops were reduced to only 3000 people, Ilo, the adjutant who received Vega's order to urge Dandali to launch an ambush, was running towards them from a distance with bloodshot eyes.

"Lord General."

Yiluo's eyes almost shed tears of blood: "The deputy brigade commander refused to launch an attack and even said that I had falsely transmitted the order. They only followed the attack signal in the plan."

“Dandeli!” Veigar gritted his teeth and spat out: “I thought you were a smart man, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid. Do you really think I will die here? You underestimate me, Veigar Kareni.”

That’s right, what really hurts Vega is the soldiers who died in battle.

Originally, these troops that had undergone rigorous training and been baptized by war could have become truly elite troops, but they were destroyed here by Dandeli. In addition, the failure of this mission was a foregone conclusion. How could he not be angry?

"The war is already lost, Lieutenant, let's go."

Vega sighed, said something to his adjutant Ilo, and then led the guard team to retreat to the rear. As for the remaining 3000 soldiers, they had no choice but to stay here. If they continued to stay, they might not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

But just when Vega wanted to retreat.

He found that the enemy's professionals and mage troops had already broken through here. This was a typical use of blitzkrieg and the most direct decapitation tactic. They obviously wanted to keep Vega here.

"Protect the brigade commander."

Just as the guards were about to move forward, a fireball from the enemy magician burned a hole in it, and Vega was surrounded.

"I haven't moved my body for a long time."

Vega picked up a cross sword from the dead professional, swung it casually, and mastered the weight.

He showed a bloodthirsty smile to the professionals and magicians in front of him: "In a one-on-one fight, I can't beat the top masters, but in a team battle, 10 top masters are no match for me."

"Magic defense."

"Mage's Shield."

"The power of a giant beast."

"Hurricane speed."

"Hardened skin."

"..."

After applying a series of buffs that would shock ordinary professionals, Veigar's battle began.

However, he did not directly attack the professionals and magicians who blocked his retreat, because almost all of the opponent's high-level military forces were here, including the Word Spirit Mage. The probability of him surviving a head-on fight was less than 0.1%.

Not to mention anything else, a wave of concentrated fire from elemental mages is enough to kill Veigar more than ten times.

Therefore, after adding so many buffs, he did not fight against these high-level armed forces, but went in the opposite direction and turned around and rushed towards the main force of the kingdom army.

This is exactly what Vega's reverse thinking is all about.

If all of the enemy's high-level military forces break through here, the Kingdom Army's frontal forces will inevitably be extremely empty. I believe that the number of magicians around the enemy commander at this time will definitely not exceed a handful.

In other words.

The decapitation tactic of general against general became possible.

Vega was going to cross the entire battlefield and carry out the decapitation tactics himself.

Perhaps this behavior is seen as seeking death by other magicians and professionals, because no matter how powerful you are as a magician or professional, there will always be a time when your magic power and mental strength are exhausted.

But Veigar is not among them.

His soldiers are continuously supplying him with magic power. Although he cannot advance due to the bottleneck, it is still more than enough to supply him with magic power for various combat skills. Therefore, Vega has become a perpetual motion machine.

With various buffs, he rushed towards the Kingdom Army Headquarters like an unstoppable arrow. Since he had the bonus of hurricane speed, it was almost impossible for the high-level military force that had just blocked his way to catch up with him.

Although the mental power feedback is not much, combat skills do not require mental power.

Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient mental strength, Veigar only retained the Mage Shield, and used hardened skin for defense, Behemoth Power to increase attack, and Hurricane Speed ​​to increase movement speed.

Veigar rushed and killed all the way, from one end of the battlefield to the other.

The enemy commander is already visible to the naked eye.

Vega, whose body had been dyed red by the blood of the enemies, smiled as he casually chopped down a few ordinary soldiers.

Although he couldn't go in and out seven times, he had always wanted to go across the battlefield alone. It was just that he had never done so due to his personality. He didn't expect that Dandeli would fulfill his wish today.

"If I can capture the enemy's commander-in-chief by myself, I think it won't be a problem for me to return alive."

Veigar muttered to himself that his goal was not to kill the enemy commander.

Because if one commander is killed, another commander will immediately take his place.

His real purpose was to take the enemy commander as a hostage so that he and the remaining one or two thousand troops could escape safely. Otherwise, if he was really surrounded by elemental mages, he would die on the spot.

"But that commander looks a little familiar."

Vega's eyes met Ingrir, who was dozens of meters away. He felt as if he had seen that face somewhere before.

At this time, Ingril also saw Vega.

He opened his mouth in shock, but couldn't utter a word.

The devil's face that was buried deep in his memory and once dominated his fear was recalled by him again, and his body began to tremble as if by reflex.

So a year later.

The fateful enemies met again here.
