Mage Veigar

Chapter 63 Tooth for Tooth
The cold wind is rustling.

Soft white snow.

And the touch of the cold tip of a gun at the throat.

Grush looked at the little boy in front of him with an angelic face. As the leader of the logistics team for many years, he didn't even know what fear was, but for the first time he smelled the breath of death.

Although Gruxiu had thought of countless possibilities, verbal abuse, intimidation, violence, threats... he never expected that the child in front of him would put the spear to his throat without even giving him a chance to speak.

Huh?
Why is the handful of white snow under your feet dyed red?

Low temperatures can numb his pain nerves, but they cannot freeze his fear.

Grush's legs went limp and he fell to his knees.

Although kneeling in public would be a shame that he would never be able to erase, compared to losing his life, this useless dignity was worthless.

Gruxiu had no doubt that if he was a step slower, the little boy in front of him, who was waving the spear as a toy and had murderous eyes, would pierce his throat with the spear.

why?
Because this young officer with an angelic smile does not play by the rules at all. He points the spear at your throat without saying a word, and no one can guarantee that he will not let you die in the next second.

The most terrifying routine is having no routine.

Gruxiu deeply realized this point. As for Rabal's warnings and reminders, he had thrown them out of his mind. If he was worried about Vega's accusation before, now he was eager for Vega to speak quickly.

even if……

At least you can say a word.

This horrible silence brought Gruxiu's spirit close to collapse. The accelerated secretion of adrenaline caused his crotch to feel hot, but as time went on, it became icy cold.

"answer me."

Veigar saw that the situation was almost serious and asked: "Why didn't my troops get the basic food supply?"

spoke.

Finally spoke.

Although these words were meant to accuse someone of something, to Grotius they sounded like the most beautiful music in the world: "It's none of my business. I never thought of being your enemy. I was just following your orders."

“Under whose orders?” Vega’s words were devoid of warmth.

Vega’s cold attitude frightened Grushu again: “This is all…”

"Lieutenant Vega!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice: "What did you do to Captain Gruxiu? This is not your backyard. Killing an imperial officer without reason in the army will be sent to a military court."

The one who spoke was Captain Larba.

His resounding question dispelled Gruxiu's fear, and the second half of the sentence naturally ended in vain.

"who are you?"

"you!"

Vega pretended to understand and said, "Isn't this Captain Larba? I know that killing an imperial officer is illegal. I haven't killed the logistics team leader yet. This guy didn't provide food for my troops and delayed the military mission. He should be sent to the military court."

Grush was shocked by Vega's words.

He looked at Larba for help. When Larba appeared, he seemed to have found his backbone. He finally mustered up a little courage and stood up without permission. "Lieutenant Vega is making a big fuss."

Lalba acted like an adult teaching a child, "You're sending an officer to court-martial just because he missed breakfast. Do you think the judges in the court-martial are not busy enough? Although you are old, the army is not a place for you to play around. There should be a minimum limit to your childishness."

Vega smiled but said nothing.

It was not until Larba was almost impatient that he said, "It seems that Larba knows a lot about this matter. Could it be that the head of the logistics team was instructed by you?"

"What nonsense."

"This matter has nothing to do with Captain Lalba."

The two spoke in unison. Gruxiu looked at Larba timidly and said, "It's just that the food reserves are temporarily insufficient, so we are a little late. Please don't make a fuss about it, Lieutenant Vega, and don't slander Captain Larba without authorization."

"Temporary shortage."

Vega put his spear against Grushu's neck again. "If this happened during a war, the small mistake you mentioned would be enough to kill countless soldiers. If you don't give me and my subordinates an explanation today, I will definitely not let it go."

This is already a strong threat.

But Gruxiu, who had found his backbone, was not afraid but laughed: "It was just a small mistake, and I've given you the explanation. If you want to admit your mistake, I will. What else do you want?"

"If admitting mistakes is useful, why do we need military law?"

Vega said in a resounding voice: "According to military law, delaying military affairs is enough to cost you your head. I will not be unreasonable and ruthless. You cut off one finger to teach me a lesson. This matter ends here."

"Cut off a finger?"

Grosh's face turned pale, and he subconsciously retracted his hands. "Lieutenant Vega, please don't go too far. I have already admitted my mistakes. I will never agree to such a condition. Don't think that you can bully others just because you are a core force."

“So you don’t agree.” Vega smiled adorably.

Adjutant Charles subconsciously shrank his head when he saw this smile, because he was too familiar with this smile. Whenever the company commander showed such a smile, it meant...

Vega moved.

He suddenly drew out a dagger, stepped quickly to Grosh, grabbed his right hand, and swung the knife to cut at Grosh's thumb.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Although the incident happened very suddenly, Larba, as a professional, still reacted. At the critical moment, he grabbed Vega's falling right hand and crashed his body into Vega, trying to escape the blade with his bare hands.

He is a professional, and Vega is also a professional, even one level higher than him.

Therefore, when the opponent grabbed his right hand that was swinging the knife and burst out with magic power to try to knock him away, he also burst out with his own magic power to stabilize his body. However, he did not use the Mage Shield to bounce him away, because the opponent's strength alone was not worth him exposing the Mage Shield as his trump card.

then.

With this collision, Vega was forced to let go of Grushu's right hand and took a step back. However, not only did Larba fail to snatch Vega's dagger, he also took five or six steps back before he could stabilize his body. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.

"asshole."

It was clearly a surprise attack, but he ended up being at a disadvantage, and the opponent was just a child, which made Laerba extremely embarrassed.

He took out his magic weapon, the cross sword, and said, "This is the 4th Regiment. Don't be too presumptuous. Even if Team Leader Gruxiu made a mistake, it's not your turn as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks."

The atmosphere began to become tense.
