Mage Veigar

Chapter 476 A1 Group
The A1 team is part of the Imperial Inquisition System.

They are the most well-known team in the Inquisition and have always only taken over or been responsible for some important targets.

Their mission completion rate was as high as 99%. The only failure was the assassination of a traitorous general. Fortunately, after losing half of their men, they escaped back to the empire in time, and later the A1 team was reorganized.

Half a month ago, they took the initiative to apply for a new task.

The target person of this mission is at the top of the list of bounties for military merit, so this time they came to the Dynasty from the Empire with only one goal - Celis Rodney.

Celis Rodney ranks above Vega.

As a civilian, she was considered a target that must be killed by the Imperial Trial System, and was therefore handed over to the A1 team for trial.

Now the group has come to the great city of Dunbu.

After a simple investigation and intelligence gathering, they discovered where Silis lived.

Although the place is heavily guarded, Team A1 does not take it seriously because they have successfully assassinated the king of the principality. Compared to that level of guards, this place is nothing but a joke.

Besides.

Also, as one of the top teams within the Inquisition, each member of the A1 team has reached the level of a lower-level shadow mage, and each of them is equipped with a mid-level magic weapon and even the latest S-type combat uniform.

What is the use of this combat uniform?

This is the latest anti-Word Mage combat uniform developed by the Imperial Research Department. As long as you wear this combat uniform, you can hide from the detection of Word Mage, allowing Shadow Mage to truly thrive.

Unfortunately, as a new type of material, this combat uniform is bound to have some shortcomings.

The first is the high cost, with a yield rate of only 50%. So far, the Empire has only produced less than 50 sets. And these 100 sets of combat uniforms cost about war airships. The cost control problem has not been broken through so far, and mass production is still a long way off.

The second disadvantage is that it requires a large amount of mental energy.

Because the principle of the combat suit is to use mental power to rebound the mental detection spells cast by the Word Spirit Mage, so magicians below the lower level should not even think about using it. The combat suit can drain your mental power in an instant, leaving you a lamb to be slaughtered.

Even lower-level magicians don't dare to use it for a long time.

According to the results of the experiment, a lower-level shadow mage can only use it continuously for a maximum of one hour.

Even with all the drawbacks, it still cannot conceal the power of the S-type combat suit, and each of the 1 shadow mages in the A20 team is equipped with such a combat suit.

In the opinion of Team Leader No. 1 of Group A1.

If this kind of combat uniform had been released a few years earlier, they wouldn't have lost half of their men and failed to assassinate the general. As a result, they have been unable to match Holt Scimitar's 100% mission success rate to this day, and can only rank second.

Therefore, they believed that the task was not difficult.

Led by Team Leader No. 1, they sneaked into the military camp, activated the functions of their combat uniforms, broke into the building directly, and followed the previously discovered locations, preparing to kill Silis and then return to the Empire immediately to report.

Simple and crude?
It’s that simple and crude!
In their view, killing an ordinary person is no different from drinking boiled water, even though this glass of boiled water is hidden in an airtight safe, and even kept together with Vega, who is ranked second on the merit bounty list.

But so what?
Even the Word Mage couldn’t see through their figures. All the enemies were lambs to be slaughtered. Team A1’s leader No. 1 even thought that if Vega happened to be next to Silis, they could deal with them all at once.

of course.

If he wasn't there, they wouldn't go out of their way to cause trouble, because Vega wasn't their target after all. Killing other people's prey without any connection was the most despised thing in the industry.

Ideas are beautiful.

The minute No. 1 and his men stepped into the corridor, they were discovered and caught off guard by several fireballs, losing three members. Fortunately, as elites, they were startled but reacted quickly.

When he realized there was a problem with the combat uniform, No. 1 immediately ordered a direct charge to break through the defense line and kill the target person.

If this happened to an ordinary team, they would have turned around and fled long ago.

But this team was different. Their inherent sense of superiority and self-confidence made them not choose to retreat in time. Instead, even though they knew the plan had failed, they were still skilled and bold enough to prepare to kill the target openly.

Because they expected the passage to be narrow, the enemy would not dare to release magic with great destructive power.

Under this premise, there is no need to retreat. With their abilities, they have plenty of opportunities to break through the siege, enter the room, and then take the target person's head and retreat calmly.

"Everyone cover me!"

No. 1 shouted, and the other team members immediately rushed towards the guards. After several people were sacrificed, some of the judges had already reached the elemental mage and the word mage.

Stronger than Vega's guards.

Better at teamwork than Veigar's guards.

These two points alone made the battle one-sided. The guards were suppressed in an instant, and the elemental mages were afraid of affecting Xia and Qilisi, so they did not dare to release powerful magic, which made them extremely frustrated.

close!

When No. 1 saw that the target person's room was right in front of him, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

boom!
Number One blew open the door, but there was no sign of Celis inside.

Number One was not panicked at this point, because there were only two rooms that needed to be guarded. If there was no one here, then there would be one next to it. Therefore, Number One blasted open the second door in an orderly manner, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The door was kicked open.

The target person is indeed in the room.

But before he could make a move, a red light flashed by and slashed his head.

Number One is not slow.

As the leader of Team A1, he was naturally an elite among elites. With a mid-level magic weapon in his right hand, he blocked Vega’s attack.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of Vega's power of the behemoth.

After this attack, Vega knocked him back several steps before he could stabilize himself.

Master.

This was the first impression that Veigar gave to No.1, but that alone was not enough to make him fearful. Above the lower-level mages, who doesn't have a few trump cards in hand? In fact, what really made No. fearful was not Veigar, but the sword in Veigar's hand.

Although only a little bit.

But the extremely sensitive No. 1 noticed something unusual.

In order to verify his guess, No. 1 fought with Vega several times again, which directly confirmed his inner guess, and made him suddenly remember the special intermediate magic weapon in the hands of Old Scimitar.

Do not!
Even more terrifying than that rusty scimitar!
No. 1, who had suffered a loss at the hands of Old Scimitar, immediately became alert and realized that it might be difficult to kill the target person today. He was now hesitating whether to retreat immediately and make long-term plans, or to use all his strength and face the challenge head-on.
