Mage Veigar

Chapter 71 Becoming a monster abnormally
Goss Leviathan is a lieutenant commander in the Kingdom Army.

At the age of 27, he is already a level 5 apprentice.

As the Kingdom Army's alert level continued to rise, he was ordered by the battalion commander to be transferred to the border with his troops, mainly responsible for the garrison mission of sentry tower K97.

The garrison mission requires a level 5 apprentice professional?
This is simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

In Goss Leviathan's opinion, with his strength as a level 5 apprentice, he should stay at the rear and wait to perform more important tasks in accordance with the basic principle of making the best use of everything and everyone.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he still had to carry out the order.

At noon today, the Kingdom Army's powerful intelligence system informed them in advance that a team of about 500 Imperial Army cannon fodder troops seemed to be carrying out a guerrilla mission and had locked their target on the sentry tower K97 where he was stationed.

Goss Leviathan almost laughed out loud when he heard the news.

Among the numerous sentry towers nearby, only his has the most elite troops and the highest-level professionals. The Imperial Army could go anywhere else to look for trouble, but had to come here to seek death.

According to Goss's idea.

He planned to ambush the Imperial Army's guerrilla forces halfway. Although it was difficult to kill the Imperial Army's professionals, it was an easy task to wipe out the Imperial Army's guerrilla forces.

Because his men are not the core troops, but the elite troops.

If an elite force of 500 people could not defeat an imperial army cannon fodder force of people, then he could probably really die to atone for his sins.

Just as he was sharpening his knife, he received an order.

This was an order from his immediate superior, the commander of the F297 Battalion.

The content of the order was almost ridiculous. He even asked the messenger repeatedly several times before finally confirming that this was indeed an order written by his battalion commander, who was always known for his shrewdness.

What is the content of the command?
The Imperial Army must not be completely wiped out. If encountered, a symbolic resistance must be put up before retreating to the battalion headquarters at full speed.

Aha?

How much water is in the brain that would issue such a stupid command.

Obviously he had the strength to wipe out all the cannon fodder troops of the Imperial Army except the professionals, but he was ordered to retreat immediately after a symbolic resistance, and was not even allowed to take action without authorization.

Originally, Goss Leviathan thought that the commander of the Imperial Army was stupid enough.

Faced with such an elite force as his, they did not retreat but dared to launch an attack. However, it now seems that his battalion commander is even more stupid than the commander of the Imperial Army.

The orders of the superior must be obeyed.

He could only give the Imperial Army a smile, and then "dejectedly" cooperate with the Imperial Army in a performance before retreating towards the battalion headquarters. If he was fast enough, he might be able to catch up with the battalion commander's midnight snack.

At that time, he must ask his superiors, is your head full of water?

----

The battle, which started off well but ended badly, ended.

The final result was that the Kingdom Army quickly retreated after 10 deaths, while the Imperial Army suffered 15 deaths and 20 injuries.

Do not misunderstand.

Of the 20 injured, 5 fell during the charge, 5 were injured by the Royal Army, and the remaining slipped while pursuing the victory...

In short, the strange reasons for injuries are varied and really horrible.

Vega looked at the 5th Battalion that was destroying watchtowers and burning supplies. He still didn't understand why the Kingdom Army retreated directly when they clearly had the advantage. This didn't make sense from any angle.

This victory didn't feel real to Vega at all.

He still couldn't believe that the commander of the Kingdom Army had an IQ that really exceeded the lower limit of human beings and issued such a stupid order. "Lieutenant Vega."

The 5th Battalion Commander, Roans, puffed out his chest and said with a smile in his eyes: "Are you curious why the Kingdom Army would retreat directly?"

"Indeed."

Vega looked at Roans and said, "I hope you can help me solve this problem, Captain."

"Hahaha."

The commander of the 5th Battalion, Roans, shook his mustache and said with a rather smug tone, "So, in terms of combat experience against the Kingdom Army, our 5th Battalion is still a little bit stronger."

Rons stroked his greasy mustache.

He went on to say: "During my military career, I have carried out guerrilla missions five times. Every time, the Royal Army would abandon the building and flee when they saw us."

"There are two reasons."

"The first reason is that they have no desire to resist because of the overwhelming numbers. After all, the garrison troops are generally not that strong. Even if some troops are stronger than us, it will still cost a lot to annihilate us. The risk of retreating is just the loss of property, and I don't need to say much about the risk of resistance."

"As for the second reason..."

"As we all know, the Kingdom Army is not as strong as the Empire Army. They have always been short of manpower, and they are reluctant to sacrifice even cannon fodder. Therefore, they will not fight me with real swords and guns unless they are 100% sure."

Upon hearing this, Vega asked, “Your Excellency, what you mean is that the Kingdom Army was testing us just now, and after the test, they found that the benefits were not proportional to the cost, so they immediately retreated?”

“Although there is no evidence, it should be so.”

Rowens nodded confidently and said, "Although the opponent has a Level 1 apprentice, even a Level 5 apprentice will have his magic power exhausted by 5 soldiers, not to mention that we still have three professionals here. If we really want to fight to the death, I'm afraid we will hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of our own. Any smart person would not do that."

There was a pause.

As Roans prepared to leave, he said, "We have already known the character of the Kingdom Army through many battles. Lieutenant Vega only needs to follow my orders in this mission and you will not go wrong. I hope we can work happily together."

“We should obey the orders of our superiors.” Vega said insincerely.

After getting Vega's promise, the 5th Battalion Commander Rohns left with satisfaction.

Vega reluctantly accepted what the 5th Battalion Commander said.

But is this really the case?
Vega always felt that something was wrong.

It is true that a level 5 trainee professional can be killed by 500 people. Not to mention 500 people, I'm afraid 400 people would be enough to kill him. Not every professional has this kind of BUG.

Even so.

The enemy's troops are obviously the backbone troops, or even stronger than the backbone troops.

With such a force, it is not difficult to disintegrate the militia of the 5th Battalion. Moreover, under the cover of the troops, the level 5 apprentice professionals naturally do not have to worry about being besieged and exhausting their magic power.

He could use the troops to cover himself and run rampant, specifically killing officers.

In this case, even his company would be wiped out.

Because no one present, whether it was Larba's two company commanders or Larba himself, dared to fight with him when his magic power was not yet exhausted. They even had to retreat to a safe distance to ensure their own safety first.

In other words.

Unless the commander of the Kingdom Army is full of water in his brain, although the Kingdom Army cannot keep the three professionals, it can completely wipe out the entire guerrilla squad including the battalion commander.
