Mage Veigar

Chapter 423: The Enemy Camp Is Violent
Staff Officer Orlando is dead.

Vega also achieved his goal.

But at this moment Vega inexplicably felt a sense of frustration. The corpse lying on the ground seemed to be silently mocking the failure of his plan, because strictly speaking, Orlando did not die in his calculations, but voluntarily died under Aiden's orders.

At best, Vega just acts as a fuse.

It was obvious that Orlando knew the wine was poisoned.

But he was tired of working for the Gary family and even didn't want to continue living in this world, so he voluntarily chose death.

“Perhaps for those who are blindly loyal, death is not a kind of pain.”

Vega saluted the loyal man. Although Orlando looked stupid, Vega understood that feeling deeply. When you have no way out, you can either choose to be loyal or die.

"The world is big."

“But for some people, it’s so big that there’s nowhere to escape.”

Vega collected his thoughts, put on a different expression, and walked out from behind the scenes.

clap clap-

Vega walked out and clapped his hands, saying, "As expected of General Aiden, your skills are far beyond my reach. The dinner has just begun, and you have already removed the only obstacle that is hindering us."

"Hahaha."

Aiden laughed loudly, not realizing that Orlando was actually committing suicide. Instead, he said complacently, "Your Excellency's plan was well-planned. Without your plan, I would never have thought of this."

"The general is so complimentary."

Vega smiled politely and suggested, "Without further delay, I think you should immediately convene a high-level meeting to make public the evidence prepared in advance and announce to the public that Orlando is a traitor."

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."

"Please wait a moment, General."

Vega stopped Orlando in time: "Before that, don't you think we should destroy the body? Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives might find the body and take the opportunity to stir up trouble."

"Someone, come..."

Aiden immediately followed Vega's instructions and ordered the destruction of Orlando's body. At the same time, he fabricated evidence of Orlando's treason and notified all senior military officials to attend the meeting on time.

Done this.

Aiden looked at Vega again, feeling at a loss. "Your Excellency has thought it through. No one around me has your talent. If you don't mind, please serve as my adjutant and help me pacify the downstream area."

Aiden had hope in his eyes.

Through this series of plans, Aiden almost worshipped Vega as a god. He was eager to make Vega work for him, help him achieve more and get to a higher position.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, General."

Vega was hesitant at this time: "But I really can't stand the constraints of the army. Merchants have more freedom. I'm sorry that I can't agree to your request."

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Aiden's face.

Under normal circumstances, if a businessman dared to refuse his solicitation, he would definitely let Vega know how powerful he was. But now he didn't have any thoughts in this regard. Perhaps he himself didn't even realize that he was afraid of Vega.

"but……"

"but?"

When Aiden heard Vega's voice, he immediately showed a pleasant expression: "Your Excellency, please feel free to ask for any conditions. As long as you can become my adjutant, I can agree to any condition."

"The General misunderstood."

Veigar, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, saw that the time was almost right, so he smiled and said, "I just want to say that although I can't be your adjutant and serve you, I can be your temporary adjutant this time to help you control the military power."

"Is this true?"

The fat on Aiden's face was squeezed into a ball, and he said happily: "Then please come with me to the meeting as an adjutant. I need you to help me control the overall situation."

"Yes, General."

Vega saluted in a half-hearted way, which made Aiden laugh. So an hour later, Vega and Aiden took a carriage to the military camp. Aiden also changed his usual sluggishness and became high-spirited. The thought of controlling 20 troops made him unable to calm down.

The meeting was held soon.

When Eden announced that Orlando had been executed for treason, the entire top leadership was in an uproar.

A senior staff officer who was on good terms with Orlando immediately stood up and said, "Commander, Staff Officer Orlando has always been loyal to the dynasty and would never do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding."

"That's right. How could Orlando commit treason?"

"Commander, did you intentionally kill Lord Orlando for military power?"

"..."

Everyone asked a question, leaving Aiden at a loss as to how to answer.

Although he was a general, he didn't have the aura that a general should have, and usually he dealt with some rich kids. How could the aura of those rich kids be compared with those senior officers who walked on the edge of life and death and controlled the lives of tens of thousands of people? Therefore, Aiden was directly frightened by the aura of these senior officers.

"It's really not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble."

Vega sighed inwardly, and at this moment he took a step forward and placed a letter on the table: "My Lords, this is the evidence of Orlando's treason. The Commander will not wrongly accuse someone without any evidence."

Aiden seemed to have found his backbone.

Seeing Vega's behavior, he followed suit and said, "That's right! I am a reasonable person and will not wrongly accuse any officer without any evidence."

Everyone looked at Aiden suspiciously, then passed the letter around.

Of course, this letter was fabricated, and the officers present could see it at a glance, but no one questioned it, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

But the staff officer who was on good terms with Orlando spoke again.

He said with anger in his eyes: "False accusation! This is simply a false accusation! What can this letter alone prove? Even an ordinary person can fabricate hundreds of such letters."

If someone takes the lead, someone else will follow.

"Yes, yes, this letter alone doesn't prove anything."

"That's right. This alone cannot prove that Staff Officer Orlando is a traitor to the enemy."

"..."

Aiden looked back at Vega. He didn't know how to handle this situation.

Vega understood what he meant and slapped the opponent hard.

boom!
The loud noise echoed in the conference room, and Vega's words echoed: "This is confidential, and other evidence should not be produced. Is it not enough to produce just this one? Or are you questioning the loyalty of the commander-in-chief?"

"I don't dare, my subordinates."

Everyone said they didn't dare, but the staff officer didn't intend to give up. He pointed at Vega and said, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak on behalf of the commander? I don't think this matter is that simple. I hope the commander-in-chief will disclose the facts and tell Orlando the truth. Otherwise, we really can't believe it."

The officers were about to agree, but Vega made a move at this moment.

He drew out Doran's sword and stabbed straight at the staff officer, killing him before anyone could react.

"Captain, you you you you..."

The other officers pointed at Vega and said, "You haven't figured out the reason for a long time."

Vega snorted and said, "This matter concerns the secrets of the dynasty. Only a five-star general can intervene. This person has repeatedly provoked incidents and is very suspicious. According to the order of the commander-in-chief, I have the right to execute him first and investigate later. Do you have any other opinions?"

The whole audience was silent.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. The lessons of the past are before them. They need to realize who is in power now. If they don't recognize him, they will probably follow this adviser's footsteps.

Vega sneered at this.

Then he turned to Aiden and said, "Commander, we can move on to the next topic of pacifying the downstream."
