Mage Veigar

Chapter 87 Fighting
Imperial Third Army, 7th Division A91 Brigade.

The A91 Brigade is a reorganized standard brigade-level unit with four standard regiments totaling 4 soldiers.

These 6000 soldiers were reorganized from the cannon fodder troops transferred back from the border, which means that this is a brand new force, and this force is preparing to carry out systematic training of the backbone forces.

When the systematic training is completed, this force will officially enjoy the treatment of a backbone force.

The highest commander of this new army is the newly promoted Gunther Burton. Originally, according to his seniority, he would not have been qualified to be the highest commander of this new army. However, due to Vega's outstanding performance in the last city-level mission, he also received great credit and thus got this once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity.

Sitting at a large desk.

Gunther Burton looked at the new office with satisfaction.

Bigger, more spacious, brighter and cleaner than the original one...

He thought he had no hope of promotion in this life, but he did not expect that he would meet such an excellent subordinate like Vega. It was also because of Vega that he entered the core decision-making level of the division during his lifetime.

Gunther sincerely thanked Veigar.

Originally, he wanted to apply to transfer Vega to this new unit.

However, Vega made a mistake that the Empire would never tolerate - killing his superior officer.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Vega had done nothing wrong, it was not the subordinates' turn to judge the mistakes made by their superiors. Even if the superior had surrendered, only the military court or the higher authorities could judge him.

The authority of superiors must not be violated.

This matter should be heard by the military court.

Then, in order to maintain its own judicial power and the authority of its superior officers, the Imperial Military Court will certainly not let off Vega, who exceeded his authority and killed his superior.

Gunther Burton shuddered at the thought of the military court, because it was independent of the military system and directly reported to the Grand Inquisitor of the Empire. Even the Grand Justice of the Third Army Military Court had an equal status with that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army.

This is also a fact that cannot be avoided.

The empire implements a system of separation of powers. The head of the empire is in charge of the military force, has the largest army, and is responsible for war.

The Grand Inquisitor of the Empire is in charge of the law, possesses the most advanced and cutting-edge power, and is responsible for justice. His Inquisitor Corps is composed of the highest-level mages of the Empire. Although the number of mages cannot be compared with the number of mages in the army, their strength is feared by the enemy countries, especially those officers who surrender and serve the enemy country. The Inquisitor Corps will even cross borders to kill them.

As for the last power, it is politics.

It is under the charge of the Grand Chancellor of the Empire, who has the largest think tank and resources and is mainly responsible for the future planning and development strategy of the empire.

Whether it is the head of the empire, the chief judge, or the grand speaker of the empire.

The status of these three people are equal. They do not belong to any faction. Their only goal is to make the empire prosperous. Anyone who gets in the way of this goal, no matter if they are nobles or any other class, will be ruthlessly eradicated.

At the same time, the three of them also had an agreement.

No party is allowed to interfere with the rights of the other party to a large extent, and any disagreement should be decided by a three-person vote.

Therefore, although Vega was saved by the division headquarters through special means, and the military court did not want to cause unpleasantness with the military headquarters, if someone filed a lawsuit with the military court one day, they would have to accept it, which would inevitably implicate their superiors.

This is why Gunther hesitated to accept Veigar into the current unit.

But at this moment, his daughter, Dani Burton, hurried into his office.

"Father."

Dani steadied her breathing and cut to the chase: "Lieutenant Vega is undergoing magician certification."

"what?"

Gunther Burton stood up suddenly and said, "How is it possible? He only became a professional this year. Where did you get the news?" "I saw him enter the mage area with my own eyes." Dani said affirmatively.

Gunther Burton's face changed. As long as he entered the mage area, the news would not be wrong. The reason why the backbone troops were called the backbone troops was because of the existence of magicians.

Magicians are an important strategic resource, and the Imperial Military gives magicians maximum freedom.

Although his brigade-level unit has already established a magician team, if any magician wants to apply for transfer, the division-level personnel department will generally approve the transfer application without hesitation.

His army was lacking magicians with a strong sense of belonging.

Being able to win over Vega, an old subordinate with a promising future, at this time will definitely help stabilize his position in the army.

The importance of a magician was enough for Ganser to ignore all risks. He stood up and said to his adjutant anxiously, "Get ready. I want to go and invite Lieutenant Vega in person."

----

at the same time.

When Vega was hesitating whether to take out a loan to buy the necklace-shaped spell medium in front of him worth 6000 gold coins, a major officer suddenly spoke to him. He claimed to be Andre Hill, the commander of the K21 Regiment of the th Division.

Andre smiled at Vega and said, "Second Lieutenant Vega, nice to meet you. I am Andre Hill, the commander of the K21 Regiment of the Sixth Division."

"Second Lieutenant Vega of the 7rd Regiment of the 3th Division, greetings to the commander." Vega quickly saluted the other party.

Andre Hill is a middle-aged man with a flat face and a height of about 1.65 meters. He does not have the iron-blooded temperament that a soldier should have. Instead, he is arrogant and self-righteous everywhere.

"Lieutenant Vega has a good eye."

Andre looked at the spellcasting medium in front of Vega and said, "Although this spellcasting medium is only a low-level spellcasting medium, its cost-effectiveness is undoubtedly one of the best in the same level."

"Captain Andre is also researching spellcasting media?"

“To be honest, Lieutenant Vega.”

Andre smiled and said, "There happens to be a Level 2 Shadow Mage in my army, so he is quite familiar with this kind of magic props. If Lieutenant Veigar wants to buy it, it would be quite cost-effective."

Andre's words made Vega firm in his determination.

It was difficult for him to come up with 6000 gold coins with his current financial resources, because although the allowance of a professional second lieutenant was higher than that of an ordinary lieutenant, it was only more than 200 gold coins per month. Adding the Wings of the Empire, the total was only more than 300 gold coins.

Although becoming a magician would give him an extra subsidy of 500 gold coins every month, this money was still not enough, not to mention that he would not receive it until next month. Therefore, he could only take out a loan to buy the spellcasting medium first.

Vega took out his military officer certificate and mage certificate and said to the waiter, "Please process the loan for me. Here are my mage certificate and military officer certificate."

"I paid for this on behalf of Lieutenant Vega."

Before the waiter could take the certificate, Andre immediately took out a note issued by the Empire Gold Bank to stop him.

The waiter did not take the ticket, but looked at Vega.

Veigar quickly refused: "No merit, no reward. How can I let you pay the bill for me?"

Andre laughed and said, "Second Lieutenant Vega, why do you say that? As the commander of the K6 Regiment of the 21th Division, I formally invite you to serve in my army. With my financial resources, I may not be able to give you a spell, but this spell medium is a gift to you."

Without waiting for Vega to answer.

Gunther's angry voice rang out from outside the door: "Andre, are you trying to recruit my men?"
