Mage Veigar

Chapter 35: Evil
Leave no one behind.

This is an order from the regiment headquarters.

Since there was only a map of the contact points but no list of spies, the regiment headquarters could only issue a kill order with the idea of ​​rather killing the wrong ones than letting them go.

This command means.

Anyone who appeared at the contact point of the United Kingdom spy organization during the Great Purge would be killed directly, regardless of whether they were civilians or nobles.

What if a noble is killed by mistake?
According to the Special Operations Regulations, such operations can be carried out by first executing the sentence and then collecting evidence.

In other words, you are dead, and I fabricated evidence out of thin air and still someone dares to stand up for you? The army is not someone who can be provoked by anyone. A mere fallen nobleman does not even have the qualifications to protest against the army.

Of course, imperial soldiers are not included.

If there happen to be imperial soldiers at the contact point, they need to be transferred to a military court for sentencing. This is a well-known unspoken rule and the regiment has not stated it separately.

The deputy company commander certainly understood the meaning of this order.

But these are all children around ten years old. How could he, as a father, have the heart to kill these young lives? As an imperial soldier, shouldn’t he protect the territory and defend the weak?

Although there is evidence that some children are working as spies.

But this does not mean that every child is engaged in spy work. In order to kill a few spies, 90 children have to be buried. Is this really an order that a human being should issue? Does the person who issued this order still have a little bit of kindness that a human being should have, or is he not a human being at all?

The deputy captain turned his gaze towards Vega.

He stretched out his trembling hand and slowly reached out to the spear in Vega's hand. The process was extremely slow, but in the end he still took the cold standard spear.

The spear weighs only a few kilograms.

During his usual training, he could wield the spear with great vigor, and during border patrol missions he could even use the spear to easily kill enemy soldiers. But at this moment, he felt that the spear was exceptionally heavy.

He raised the spear with difficulty.

His face was almost distorted.

"This is an order, this is an order, this is an order..."

The deputy company commander kept hypnotizing himself as he walked towards the first child step by step and finally stood in front of the child.

The child looked no older than fifteen.

His thin body was shaking with fear, as if he knew his end was near. He raised his head and stared at the deputy company commander with innocent eyes. When he saw the spear so close to him, he couldn't help crying.

“Wow wow wow.”

The cry aroused unanimous response, and more than 90 children began to cry one after another.

boom.

When he heard the child crying, the deputy company commander collapsed and the rifle in his hand fell to the ground.

"I can't do it. I really can't do it..."

The deputy captain held his head in pain and said, "I am an imperial soldier. My duty is to defend my country. My spear should be pointed at the hearts of enemy soldiers. I really can't attack these underage children."

The expressions of the soldiers around him began to relax.

Some had even put down their spears. The deputy captain's words hit home. They could sacrifice their lives for the empire or die together with the enemy, but they did not have the courage to point their spears at these children.

"You think so too?"

Vega glanced at the soldiers around him, and his tone became even colder.

No one answered. But all the soldiers lowered their heads, and only a few soldiers pointed their spears at the child under orders.

See here.

The thin boy Bray had a cunning smile on his face.

As the lowest level of this society, he has not died yet, and in a short period of time he took control of this organization of homeless children and even joined the United Kingdom's intelligence system. This is naturally because he knows how to take advantage of his own weakness and some human sympathy for the weak.

When he succeeded in arousing the sympathy of the soldiers, he knew he was safe.

As for the officer who is still clamoring?
Although he could only hear the childish voice coming from behind him but could not see the face, he thought that it would not cause any trouble under such a general trend. The only thing that surprised him was that this unknown officer had no sympathy at all.

Shouldn't we feel sympathy when we see the weak?

As a strong person, will it cost you anything if you let a weak person take advantage of your sympathy?
You see, this kind of situation where one is deserted by everyone is the end of not taking advantage of sympathy. Bray wanted to smugly mock this stranger masked officer, but given the current situation, he had better just cry louder.

“You are so soft-hearted.” A trace of disdain flashed in Vega’s eyes.

The strong can be a weapon, and the weak can also be a weapon; sometimes human morality and the right things can even become murder weapons. The street children are just using the weak as a weapon to attack the weak hearts of the strong in order to gain benefits. Vega, who was once a street child, knows this.

Vega picked up the spear that the deputy captain had dropped.

He walked decisively towards the crying homeless children: "You are all kind-hearted soldiers of the Empire, so let me be the 'evil'. Compared to boring kindness, I really prefer 'evil', because only 'evil' never needs to use weakness, morality, or righteousness to whitewash itself, and only 'evil' standing on the opposite side of kindness fights without scruples, uprightly, and with bare hands."

Da da da.

The echo of the military boots hitting the ground stopped, and Vega stood in front of Bray who was crying happily.

Bray shuddered.

He looked at the shadow on the ground and seemed to smell the breath of death.

Bray raised his head with difficulty.

When she saw the face of the person who came, the disguised crying stopped.

How could it be him?
This was the only thought in Bray's mind.

Last year, he tried to instigate Vega to rebel and let Vega support him as the new leader, but he didn't expect that the other party would leave a message "I want to join the army" the next day and disappeared from his sight without even listening to his advice. He just thought it was an excuse for Vega to be afraid.

In the following month.

He used some means to win over most of the street children and became the new leader, and even joined the United Kingdom's spy system. When he successfully reached the peak of his life, he secretly ridiculed Vega's cowardice.

But now it seems that is not the case.

That kid who had no special characteristics except for being brave and aggressive really boarded the chariot of the imperial army and became an imperial officer?

How did he do that.

Could it be that he got promoted by taking advantage of his superior's sympathy?

It must be so.

When he confirmed this idea, Bray put on a flattering smile.

He stood up without permission, made a gesture to hug us and said, "Vega, you bastard, you finally came back to see us. You found a good way out but you didn't even ask your old friend for help. Don't forget that I paid for you when you couldn't hand in your stuff and almost got beaten up."
