Mage Veigar

Chapter 39: Subordinates Return
At midnight.

Slums United Kingdom Contact Point.

It was not until this time that the great purge mission was officially declared completed, and the entire regiment gathered again to begin work reports from each company.

In the open space outside the house, standing in the first place were the regiment commander and the chief of staff, and on the right was Major General Raglan and his guards who had learned the details. Vega and his subordinates stood on the left, and at the same time detained more than 90 children who had not yet been properly dealt with.

"All of them."

The regiment commander's adjutant issued an order: "The work report has officially begun. The commander of the 101st Company, please step out."

"Report."

The commander of the 101st Company was a young officer who had just turned 20. "According to the order from the regiment headquarters, our company was required to clear out nine contact points of the United Kingdom intelligence organization north of East Street. We actually cleared five and recovered 9 pieces of intelligence. The remaining four were burned."

"Captain of the 107th Company."

A big man stepped forward and said, "According to the order from the regiment headquarters, my company needs to clear a total of 12 contact points in the middle of East Street. We actually cleared... 3 and recovered 12 pieces of intelligence. The rest... were burned."

"Captain of Company 46"

"According to the order from the regiment headquarters, my company needs to be cleaned up..."

……

After a round of reports, it was shocking that in the northern district of Norda, out of nearly 300 contact points of varying sizes, less than 1/2 had been cleared, and half of the remaining contact points had been burned down or moved. The loss of intelligence could no longer be measured in gold coins. If this was due to Vega's personal mistake, it would be enough to send him to the gallows.

It's not just Vega.

Once this mistake is reported to the higher-ups tomorrow, both the regiment commander and the chief of staff may be directly expelled from the military. The reason is of course very simple, that is, without reporting the mistake, they arbitrarily launched a city-level top-secret mission without overestimating their own capabilities, which ultimately led to the failure of the mission.

Fortunately, someone took the blame.

The captain looked to the right at Raglan. Although he was gloating in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked politely, "General, do you have any instructions?"

Waving his hand, Raglan said nothing.

His face turned a little pale. Although the 3rd Regiment also needed to bear a little responsibility, % of the responsibility for this matter probably fell on his head. The video crystals of every soldier present recorded everything clearly.

A moment of kindness can lead to big mistakes.

He really didn't expect that there would be spies from the enemy country among the ten-year-old children. This was too far-fetched. What was he doing when he was ten? He was probably still playing in the mud, but these children had already learned to betray their country. Raglan sighed and said, "Since it's a foregone conclusion, I won't stay here any longer. I guess you will have to report to the military tomorrow. The fault is mine. Just report it truthfully."

"Yes, General."

The head of the regiment saluted and asked, "I still have one question. How should we deal with these children?"

Raglan looked at the children.

When he saw the pairs of horrified eyes, he felt a little reluctant, but finally shook his head and said, "The highest command authority for this city-level mission is in your hands. I have no right to interfere."

"Thank you for your understanding, General."

Gunther Burton glanced at Vega and said, "Warrant Officer, this is your contact point. Please continue your mission."

“Yes, Captain.” Vega nodded in response.

Just because of that momentary kindness, once the war breaks out, the intelligence that is not recovered in time will only cause more people to die in the war, and may even bring harm to himself.

"let's go."

Raglan narrowed his eyes and walked out with the guards.

They interpreted Vega's behavior as a leader who was extremely caring towards his subordinates.

The soldiers looked at Vega with eyes full of emotion. How could they let such a leader bear such a sin? How long would they, the soldiers, have to hide behind their leader and act like cowards?

Captain Gunther Burton did not reply. He looked at the terrifying execution ability of Vega's subordinates and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Captain Gunther Burton couldn't help but become more optimistic about Vega.

Although the mission failed halfway and the entire reward was likely to be lost, he even had to bear a small part of the responsibility.

However, Gunther Burton decided that he would do whatever it takes to get an Imperial Wings Medal for Vega in his performance report tomorrow. After all, he knew who was responsible, and the first part of the mission was completed successfully by Vega himself. Not only was he not at fault, but he was also meritorious.

Although even he was not confident that the medal could be awarded, he at least tried his best and left the rest to fate.
