Mage Veigar

Chapter 398 One word

3:00 am.

This is the time for Callison to launch his attack, and it is also the time for Carroll to act.

The two's plan seemed perfect, one occupied the city, and the other took away Shia. They intended to use this unexpected method to make Vega taste the taste of failure, and at the same time prove that they have the ability to defeat Vega.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and underestimated Vega.

What they didn't know was that they had already fallen into Vega's trap in the court.

Vega, who traveled through time, knew one thing very well: the king's orders could be executed not because the orders were reasonable or in line with people's wishes, but because the king held supreme military power.

Therefore, when Vega hinted to Shia to order Callison to hand over the military power, Vega knew that Callison would not obey obediently, and would definitely use his large numbers to forcibly launch a coup and replace him, because Shia did not have supreme military power.

It is said that one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies.

In Vega's opinion, if he wants to deal with the West Coast, he must eliminate the uncertain factors of Callison and Carol. If these two people are not eliminated, he will not be able to rest assured when he goes to the West to conquer the Crown Prince.

So forcing Kyleson to counterattack was Veigar's plan.

Now it seems that the effect is significant. Callison really launched a coup and dragged Carol along. This gave Vega an excuse to kill the two men directly without worrying about being criticized.

What if Callison just retires?
For Vega, the real threat was not the 5 soldiers. If he wanted to, he could kill them in at least ten ways. Don't forget that the supplies for these 5 soldiers were provided by Vega. If he tampered with the food...

Therefore, what made Vega feel threatened was Kellison's identity.

This identity is naturally the veteran of two dynasties and five-star general that is always on his mind.

So even if Callison retires, Vega will not allow Callison to live on the East Coast. This is where he has the final say and no discordant voices are allowed.

Fortunately, this discordant voice will soon disappear.

Therefore, Veigar slowly walked out from behind the scenes, activated the trickery, and prepared to clear up this second discordant voice.

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Carol knelt on one knee in front of Xia: "I know you must have been coerced by that brat to do these things, but please don't worry now, General Callison has already led the troops to kill that brat. For your safety, please follow me and leave the palace temporarily. I will escort you back after the situation stabilizes."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Xia shrank back in fear: "General Vega did not force me. I have heard from the general that you and Kellison tried to rebel and treason. I did not believe it at first, and even had a conflict with the general because of it. I did not expect... I did not expect..."

Xia's eyes were full of regret.

In the afternoon, Vega came to the palace and told her that Callison and Carol would launch a coup after midnight. She didn't believe Vega at all, and even had a conflict with Vega because of this, which made Vega angry and leave.

This is also a matter of course.

One is her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her. Although he has disappointed her many times and is no longer her support, Carol is still a complex existence in her heart. It is naturally nonsense to accuse her of treason and rebellion.

The other is a 5-star general of Dynasty.

As a five-star general of the dynasty, his loyalty is unquestionable, so there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.

Of course, Xia didn't disbelieve Vega's words, she just thought that Vega was misled by some people, so she said this to her. Therefore, she deliberately didn't sleep tonight, just to be willful for once and prove their loyalty to Vega.

But now it seems that the fault is not Vega but herself.

Carol's arrival and his words were completely consistent with Vega's words. In other words, Carol and Callison really launched a coup, betraying her as the king, and even betraying the Holy Dynasty.

Therefore, she now regretted very much, regretting not listening to Vega's words.

"General Vega, I'm sorry."

There was regret in Xia's eyes: "I shouldn't have been so willful. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. Xia... I already know I was wrong."

Carol heard Xia talking to herself.

Even though he probably knew that things were not as Callison said, jealousy made him not want to hear any information about Vega from Xia's ears, so he reached out and tried to take Xia away by force.

stab-

But at this moment, a blood-red sword light fell.

This was so unexpected that Carol was completely unprepared.

He had never imagined that there was a shadow mage in the king's bedroom. In addition, the potion that could see through the trickery had been used up. Therefore, he did not react until Vega had to reveal his true form to launch an attack.

But it was too late.

The sword came down from the air and directly cut off Carol's left hand to the ground, causing Carol to let out a painful howl.

"Pity."

Vega couldn't help but murmured something. His sword was originally aimed at Carol's neck, but it must be mentioned that Carol was worthy of being the descendant of a famous teacher. He was indeed quite capable. At the critical moment, he actually avoided the vital points and only lost an arm.

Carol looked at Vega in disbelief: "Why..."

"Are you asking me why I'm here?"

Vega sneered and said, “If I hadn’t seen the dissatisfaction that was almost revealed on your faces, you would have been destroyed by the Kingdom Army long ago. To be honest, compared to the Kingdom Army, you are indeed so naive that you don’t even have the interest in me personally commanding the war.”

"So what if you knew."

Carol said arrogantly: "Saint Laurent only has 5 soldiers. How can you stop General Callison's troops? I advise you to hand over His Majesty. If you surrender immediately, you may be able to keep your body intact."

"Hahaha."

Vega was amused by Carol: "There should be a limit to innocence. Self-confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence will only blind your eyes and prevent you from seeing the cruel reality. You should go down with your mysterious self-confidence to accompany Callison."

Red light flashes.

Veigar rushed towards Carol with the Sword of Doran.

However, Vega had already lost the initiative and missed the chance to kill Carol with one sword, which resulted in Carol activating the trickery and intermediate combat skills to flee directly out of the palace.

Although the mage team that Vega had arranged in advance took action in time.

But Carol didn't know what means he used. After a scroll was torn open, he actually avoided the fatal blow like Vega's shadow and disappeared into the night.

This also made Vega appreciate the importance of having a good master.

Carol had been tricked so many times and had wasted so much energy, but the opponent always escaped. Today, he risked his face and ambushed the opponent himself, only leaving one arm in his body.
