Mage Veigar

Chapter 804 Safety

The Imperial Palace, central area.

This place is quite close to the war-torn East Corner, but compared to the East Corner, this place is closer to Vega's bedroom, it can be said to be just one step away. If someone stands on a high place, they can even see Vega and his group directly with the naked eye.

In a corner.

Nine people dressed in black gathered together, no one spoke, and they stood there quietly.

blah-

Another black figure fell from above and stood in front of the nine people.

"How's the situation?"

The leader asked impatiently when he saw the man in black jumping down from a high place.

The tenth man in black who had just returned to the team said, "The plan went smoothly. Teams 11-17 have already attracted their attention. If we wait a little longer, Vega Saint Laurent will be attracted to the east corner. He probably never dreamed that we would split into two groups. Team 2 was deliberately discovered by the Word Spirit Mage from the beginning."

This was the assassination team's plan.

Seven people were sent to the East Corner to be discovered by the Word Spirit Mage on purpose, and then a fierce battle was fought with the guards, in order to attract Vega to go to the East Corner in person for rescue.

Can this fool Vega?

Under normal circumstances, it would probably be a bit difficult.

But after their investigation, they found that Vega was indeed much more relaxed after returning to Saint Laurent City than when he was in the wild.

In addition, they chose the east corner, which was right in front of them, to deliberately expose the other team in order to paralyze Vega and make him subconsciously think that even if something happened, he could come back from the east corner to remedy the situation in time.

This mentality will make people ignore some potential dangers.

In addition, if there is a certain possibility of losing something precious, most people will not carry it with them. Those who can afford it will put it in a bank safe, and those who don’t will hide it at home.

This also makes these people ignore the fact that banks and homes are not absolutely safe places.

If they were to move here, Vega might... no, it was very unlikely that he would take the two War Races to the dangerous place they were about to go to. Instead, he would keep them in the rear where he thought they were safe, and at most send a Star Mage and a guard team to protect them closely.

And this is exactly what they want.

The team hiding in the central area has a total of ten people, five of whom are shadow mages and the other five are holy dragon masters. This strength is enough to restrain the star elemental mages while taking away or using war seeds.

No matter what.

He could also kill two Warbreeds before Vega rushed back from the East Corner.

Therefore, what they had to do now was to wait for Vega to leave the two warriors.

----

the other side.

When Vega heard the guard's report, he was subconsciously stunned.

An assassination team of only seven people? They were about to break through the defense line and attack this way?
Vega frowned, because the East Corner was nearby and the guarding force was quite strong. Once the enemy was discovered, it would be basically impossible to break through the defense line with only 7 people.

"What is the average strength of the enemies?"

Vega specifically asked this question, and the guard's answer was exactly what he expected.

"Report to your majesty."

The guard said with lingering fear: "We have confirmed that there are four high-level shadow mages, and there are three more who have not yet shown any signs of casting spells, but our mages cannot cause any harm to them."

"Finally you've taken action."

A hint of sternness flashed in Vega's eyes. He knew without even looking that the four high-ranking shadow mages were either the masterpieces of the Gangti City State or the Empire's people. As for the other three who could not use magic but could beat the magicians, they must be the Holy Dragon Envoys. If it was this kind of assassination power.

Then these seven people could indeed sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, and ordinary Word Wizards would not be able to discover them at all, or if they were discovered, they would be killed by the Holy Dragon Envoy.

Fortunately.

The east corner is very close to the sleeping palace, and a high-intensity reconnaissance network has been set up to cover it. It is even equipped with one of the only three mid-level Word Spirit Mages in the country to serve as the eyes of the reconnaissance network, so the enemy has nowhere to hide.

"Xia, protect both of them."

Vega turned around and gave Xia an order, and he was going to go to the east corner to kill the seven assassins himself.

Because four of the upper mages were easy to deal with, as the palace was equipped with a security force of fifteen upper mages, who were enough to suppress the rebellion. However, the remaining three holy dragon envoys were more difficult to deal with.

Even the star elemental magic cannot harm the holy dragon envoy.

This means that except for him doing it himself, there is no way to kill the enemy.

If he didn't take action, his own high-level mage would be sacrificed in vain, which was something Vega didn't want to see.

Because there are very few high-level wizards in the Kingdom of Jialan, and each of them is a national treasure. If they die, they will play a role and die on the battlefield, rather than dying in vain in such a meaningless place.

Shia seemed to understand this as well.

She said to Vega: "I will protect them both, and you should be careful too."

Veigar nodded, then picked up the Infinity Blade and walked towards the east corner. However, after taking less than two steps, he remembered Xia's reminder a few days ago to be more careful, which made him pause for a moment.

It is very difficult for people to do two things at once.

When your eyes are no longer looking forward and your body is no longer moving forward, it means that your brain is working at high speed.

Veigar has returned to the state he was in during the war.

If we analyze the current situation from the perspective of war, then everything seems to fall into place immediately.

Someone wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Think about it carefully, why would the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Gangti City Kingdom, or the Empire launch the assassination in the difficult city of Saint Laurent instead of doing it directly on the way back?

This is indeed a point that is easy to overlook.

If Vega was completely relaxed, he wouldn't even consider this, but Xia's unintentional reminder made Vega a little more vigilant, and it was this little bit of vigilance that made Vega smell the scent of conspiracy.

Because the answer is obvious.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Since there is no one to rely on, Vega can only rely on himself to protect the two women on the way back, so he follows the two war species closely. It is almost impossible to bypass him and kill the war species. This is why the most dangerous wilderness has become the safest place.

Conversely, we can take advantage of the fact that the safest place is also the most dangerous place.

After careful recollection, after returning to Saint Laurent, he first arranged the two women to the next room because there were a large number of guards protecting the palace. Now he had to leave the two women to Xia and prepare to go to the east corner to fight the enemy alone. This was obviously making mistakes one after another, and he did not think of danger in times of peace.

The safest also becomes the most dangerous.

After a little thought, my thoughts became clear.

The enemy must have taken advantage of this psychological contrast between the most dangerous and the safest, and the safest and the most dangerous, and set a trap to paralyze him while his tense nerves were temporarily relaxed, thus luring the tiger away from the mountain.

The leader of this plan should never be underestimated.

Vega began to feel inexplicably wary of the enemy's unknown planner.

But the most urgent task is to solve the problem.
