Mage Veigar

Chapter 331 The alarm bell is ringing
Water City Nila.

In a dilapidated house, Carol knocked on Xia's door anxiously.

After he entered the room, he knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, there is a reply from the West Coast. The Crown Prince, who is now acting as the government official, has allocated 3 troops to attack Nila City. The attack can probably be launched tomorrow afternoon."

Carol handed the opened letter to Xia.

He said with joy in his eyes, "The eldest prince asked us to stay here and not move. Tomorrow's battle will be commanded by Admiral Xien himself. He will order the troops to attack Nila City head-on, and at the same time let the mage team secretly welcome us. The codeword is pansy."

Pansy, this is the national flower of Yves Saint Laurent.

After reading the letter, Xia murmured to herself: "Finally it's here..."

She repeated this sentence, and then as if coming to her senses, she said: "Carol, what is the situation in Saint Laurent City now? Has the Kingdom Army started to attack Saint Laurent?"

Carol's eyes flashed with displeasure.

However, as long as the princess didn't keep making a fuss about leaving, he was happy to tell her this information: "The kingdom's 20-man army is too large, so it's slow to move. It hasn't reached Saint Laurent City yet, but that kid has already withdrawn the troops from Saint Hui City to Saint Laurent City. At this time, Saint Hui City is probably back in the hands of the kingdom's army."

There was a pause.

Carol continued, "Although reducing the number of troops will help defend against the upcoming 20 troops, being surrounded by 20 troops on all sides, even if Saint Laurent has perfect defense facilities and sufficient supplies, it can only hold out for two months at most. I think it is the wisest choice for the princess to leave that foolish man."

Xia's face turned cold when she heard that.

She said to Carol coldly: "If I have a choice, I would rather live and die with General Vega than betray the oath I made. General Vega is willing to fight to his death to help me, but you, who always talk about chivalry, have forgotten what a true knight is."

boom!
Carol smashed the table with his fist in anger. He glared with bloodshot eyes and said, "I have not forgotten the spirit of chivalry, but for the future of the dynasty, I can abandon everything."

Looking at Carol, Xia said nothing.

She was shocked by Carol's sudden behavior. Carol had never treated her like this before. This was completely different from the Carol she knew. In addition, Carol had forcibly taken him out of Shenghui City more than half a month ago. There was already a light of fear in Xia's eyes. Was the person in front of her still a guardian knight who was loyal to her?

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Carol hurried forward and wanted to explain, but Princess Xia took a step back in fear.

Carol felt a chill in his heart when he saw Xia's action. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave. Please make preparations. You can return to the dynasty's territory tomorrow."

creak-

The door was closed.

Xia couldn't bear the fear any longer and shed tears. She began to realize that her former guardian angel had changed. Is there anyone in this world who can give her a sense of security and someone she can rely on?
Vega Kareni!
At this moment, Shia thought of Vega again.

The man who saved her life in the alley, who vowed to place the purple and gold crown on her head on the throne of Saint Laurent.

"General Vega, it's almost time."

Xia's eyes once again showed a glimmer of hope: "I will be back to the west bank soon, you must wait for my reinforcements."

----

The next day, noon.

Veigar arrived at the city gate with a team of 10 elemental mages, 5 shadow mages, and 1 word mage.

He looked at the half-high wall and couldn't help but pray in his heart that his speculation was correct.

"General, let's go into the city."

The captain of the mage team stepped forward and said.

Vega was silent for a while, then nodded, and the entire team pulled the goods and walked towards the heavily guarded city gate pretending to be a caravan, trying to sneak into the city in this way.

This time, it was to bring back Shia Saint Laurent.

Vega specially arranged a team of elemental mages, 5 shadow mages, and 1 word mage to target Carol, and he took the opportunity to kidnap Princess Shia.

If nothing else happens.

If this team works well together, it is possible for them to defeat Carol.

After all, no matter how powerful a shadow mage is, he can't be faster than the elemental mage's magic. And with the existence of the Word Mage, many of the shadow mage's magic is ineffective.

Even if this team is no match for Carol, there is still Vega himself.

After several battles, although Veigar has not yet been promoted to a level 5 magician, his skill points have increased to 41.

What does 41 skill points mean?

This means that Veigar can learn at least 13 incomplete intermediate combat skills, plus 2 shadow magics.

Although the rune pages of shadow magic were not collected due to the war, Vega collected a whole bundle of intermediate combat skills that could be found everywhere along the way, just for the purpose of using them to recapture Xia this time.

Vega admitted that he was no match for Carol.

But he really didn't believe that even if he had applied more than 10 layers of BUFF to himself, he still couldn't defeat Carol? Although learning too many combat skills and magic might lead to insufficient supply of mana and mental power, but even if he could hold on for 2 minutes, Vega believed that more than a dozen layers of BUFF would be enough to kill Carol instantly.

what?
Cheating?

You’re right, this time Vega intends to let Carol feel the power of plug-ins!

Therefore, Vega planned to enter the city first.

After entering the city, he planned to have his subordinates search for the whereabouts of Carol and Princess Xia while learning these intermediate combat skills.

Vega had long planned to start learning combat skills.

Unfortunately, he had been busy with the war for half a month, and then he was busy traveling, so he had not been able to spare the time to learn combat skills. After all, as a commander, he could not leave his post without permission, even for just 7 or 8 hours.

7 or 8 hours is only enough to learn one combat skill.

If you want to learn all the more than 10 combat skills, it will take at least 70 hours. As the commander-in-chief, it is impossible to have so much free time, and even if you learn it, it will not be of much use in siege.

To put it bluntly, his "CPU" simply cannot support so many combat skills now.

Take 5 seconds of real manliness to attack the city?
It's ok to just fantasize about this. If you really attack a city with more than ten buffs, it will be extremely powerful, and you can even kill gods if you meet them. But the cold reality is that you will probably die of exhaustion before you even reach the city gate.

unless……

The subordinates can keep up with the magic and mental power to kill the enemy, but even if all conditions are fully prepared, they cannot withstand a mid-level magic.

Entering Nila City will be the best time to study.

Vega is not sure that he can find Princess Xia and Carol within 3-5 days, so minus the time for rest, this will be the best time to learn combat skills.

But at this moment, they were stopped by the kingdom's army at the city gate.

A guard captain and his team blocked Vega and the others from entering the port. "Didn't you read the notice? The port city prohibits caravans other than merchants from the dynasty from entering. I don't care if you are merchants from the empire, our country, or other countries. Anyway, you are prohibited from entering here. Please return the way you came."

Vega, who was hiding at the end of the cargo, felt his heart tighten.

He realized that he had forgotten that if one looked closely, the ears of the dynasty's commoners were slightly different from those of people from other countries, so with their physiological characteristics, it would be difficult for them to blend into the city of Nila.

But Vega did not panic.

He winked at the captain of the mage team, who quickly understood what he meant.

"Sir, our small business cannot afford this loss."

The captain of the magician team stepped forward and stuffed five gold coins into the other party's hand: "Please be kind. We are all ordinary merchants. If we go to other cities and cause trouble for a few days, we will all be finished."

"My father was once a businessman and can understand your difficulties."

The officer reluctantly returned the gold coin to the captain of the wizards. "But the higher-ups have been cracking down on criminals recently. The last captain of the guards accepted bribes from two suspected wanted criminals and was dismissed and investigated on the same day. So I can't help you."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the captain of the mage team.

The officer and his team began to check other civilians who were about to enter the city one by one.

Vega frowned because of this. It would definitely not be possible to break through by force, and it was not realistic to enter the city at night. After all, the defenses were so strict during the day, and they would definitely be more stringent at night.

"Entering the city is so strict, the port must be even stricter."

Vega sighed. From the strictness of the rules, it could be inferred that Carol and Xia probably had not been able to cross to the west coast by merchant ship. After all, their portraits were posted at the city gate. Xia and Carol had been listed as first-rank wanted criminals.

But the question was how was he going to get into the city.

Vega suddenly felt a headache. There was even a Word Wizard stationed at the city gate, which made it impossible for him and several Shadow Mages to sneak into the city.

But there is always a way out.

Just as Vega was thinking about how to sneak into the city, the alarm bells in the city suddenly rang.

This is……

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The captain of the guard at the city gate shouted three times, then pointed at the crowd that had not yet been checked one by one and shouted: "Enter the city, everyone enter the city, the city gate is about to close, the city gate is about to close... Quick, quick! Close the city gate for me!"

Mixed in the crowd, Vega and others entered the city.

Although Vega did want to sneak into the city, he definitely didn't want to enter the city in this way.

Because the ringing of alarm bells means...

The West Coast of the Dynasty has begun to take action, and he doesn't have much time left.
