Mage Veigar

Chapter 49 Treatment of Prisoners of War
Because the orders from superiors must be obeyed absolutely.

The adjutant and all the soldiers had no choice but to follow Vega's order and retreat three hundred meters, but all the soldiers held their weapons tightly, especially the crossbowmen who had already loaded the arrows and aimed at the soldiers of the United Kingdom.

As long as Vega is in danger, they will pull the trigger without hesitation.

Not only the crossbowmen, but the other soldiers also looked ready to go. In their opinion, Vega's orders were given out of love for them. What reason was there not to support such a leader?
It can be said without exaggeration.

Even if Vega gave them the order to die, they would carry it out without hesitation. This was not based on the military rules that required absolute obedience to the superior's orders, but out of their extreme support for Vega himself.

the other side.

Vega finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all his subordinates retreat.

Although his subordinates can gain magic power by killing him, they can only gain 20% of the magic power, while he can gain the full amount of magic power by killing someone personally. How could he let his subordinates take the head?

As his level increases, the amount of magic power he requires becomes greater and greater, even increasing exponentially. This risk-free opportunity to harvest magic power is not always available.

The cross sword is held in his hand.

Vega's fighting spirit exploded, and he retreated instead of advancing.

Unfortunately, the cross sword that was just seized was not a real magic weapon, but just a failed product. Judging from its quality, it could only be used more than ten times before it would be completely scrapped. The cannon fodder troops of the kingdom army were indeed penniless.

The two armies met.

Vega was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. He used his fighting spirit to defend himself and his cross sword to kill.

However, Vega did not infuse magic power into the cross sword in his hand, because using magic power can kill with one blow, and not using magic power can also be fatal with one blow, so there is no need to waste the number of uses of the sword. After all, no professional will complain that they have too few magic weapons, even if this magic weapon is a failure.

Plop, plop.

Veigar roamed the battlefield like the god of death wielding his scythe, reaping lives one after another.

His whole body was stained with blood, like a demon from hell.

In ten minutes, he had harvested more than 60 lives, and at the same time gained a large amount of magic power to replenish himself. Not only did he not suffer from the problem of magic power exhaustion like other professionals, but he became more and more courageous as the battle went on, like a perpetual war machine.

The enemy began to fear.

Anyone who sees a child old enough to be their child wielding a sword as a toy and easily reaping their lives will feel fear, because humans are naturally afraid of death and the strong.

"Don't mess around."

A company commander saw the commotion in the team and quickly issued an order: "Even lower-level professionals can't withstand the attack of more than 3 people from three companies. Everyone hold on. The kingdom will win, and we will triumph in the end!"

"The Kingdom will win, and we will triumph!"

Under the leadership of the company commander, the morale of the Kingdom Army was temporarily boosted.

They began to attack Vega fearlessly. Although this did not cause any harm to Vega, it took longer to kill the soldiers. After all, killing a dying and struggling enemy is obviously more energy-consuming and time-consuming than killing a desperate enemy.

All of this is the company commander increasing the difficulty of the game.

As the saying goes, when shooting a man, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the leader first. Vega fixed his eyes on the company commander who was issuing orders.

The company commander was unaware.

Due to Theodore's death, he became the highest-ranking officer here, so according to the rules and regulations of the Kingdom Army, he naturally had to take responsibility to command the army to continue fighting. If he could win this battle...

This thought has just come to mind.

He felt a flash before his eyes, and then he met a pair of teasing eyes.

Those were a pair of black eyes that were dark enough to dim the night, and their owner was a young child of about ten years old.

If he met such a child on the street, he would even exclaim, "What a pair of lively eyes!" and touch the child's head with a smile. However, if he met such a child on a bloody battlefield, he would not be able to smile no matter what.

Because...poof.

A sword pierced his heart and the company commander fell in a pool of blood.

Because this is not a child at all, but a bloody doll in the skin of a child.

Once the company commander dies, another person will naturally take over his command.

Vega began his beheading show. He relied entirely on his body's flexibility to move among the crowd, easily killing off officers who dared to step forward and take over command.

After all, he is already a third-level apprentice professional.

If a third-level professional uses magic power to increase his movement speed, then relying solely on the strength of an ordinary person will not be able to stop him at all, and all attempts to stop him will be completely futile.

Kill kill kill.

Another ten minutes passed.

There were still more than 400 soldiers left in the kingdom's army, and not a single officer dared to step forward to take over the command.

Without a leader, the morale that had been raised quickly dropped, and some of the new recruits began to retreat. An emotion called "fear" gradually spread, and it would explode completely as time went on.

20 minute later.

When the number of people dropped to 400, the white ground had been stained red with blood, and the emotion of "fear" finally broke out in the leaderless kingdom army.

"Surrender, we surrender."

"Don't kill me... Don't kill me."

"Please spare my life. I don't want to die yet..."

Cries for mercy echoed throughout the venue, and spears were thrown to the ground.

No one knew who took the lead, but all the kingdom's troops knelt down and surrendered.

Vega is not tall.

But at this moment, there was no one taller than him among the crowd of hundreds of people. Wherever his eyes looked, all the kingdom soldiers lowered their proud heads in fear, without any fighting spirit at all.

Vega stopped for a moment.

One of the soldiers raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "We surrender and request treatment as prisoners of war."

Treatment of prisoners of war.

This is an article in the international convention. Any soldier who disarms and gives up resistance will retain the right to survive as the victorious party in the war, but his freedom can be restricted before negotiations. The defeated party can pay gold coins and other items to redeem the prisoners.

Will Veigar accept prisoners of war?

He raised his sword and locked his eyes on the Kingdom Army soldier who was speaking.

You know, this is a good opportunity to increase his strength, and he doesn't have the time to accept any prisoners of war. Compared with those unattainable ransoms, it is indeed the most practical to see the magic in front of him.

"Captain, please wait."

The adjutant hurried over and said, "According to international conventions, since the other party has surrendered, we cannot directly kill the defeated party. Once this matter is exposed, the other countries will use it as an excuse to attack the Empire at the international summit. In order to avoid trouble, the top leaders of the Empire will inevitably push you out to give an explanation to the other countries."

Vega glanced at his subordinates who had witnessed the entire process from a distance and asked, "Are you saying that someone in the company would deliberately leak this?"

"We must always be on guard against others," the adjutant advised sincerely.
