The next day, the Seventh Army was stationed.

After an impassioned speech by the commander-in-chief, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions, with a total of 50,000 troops, marched from here to the capital of the Holy Dynasty, Saint Laurent.

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Empire!"

While marching, shouting loud slogans.

Since Vega was a high-ranking military officer, he had the privilege of standing on the right side of the rostrum, condescending to watch the spectacle.

Standing at this best angle, Vega saw that every soldier had a confident smile, and there was no sense of urgency on their faces to face the war, as if they regarded this war as child's play or an outing?

Child's play, outings?

Vega's fists clenched, an attitude that was simply an insult to war.

Vega began to realize that the east seemed to have been so peaceful in recent years that there was no chance to even train its troops, and such troops were probably inferior to the cannon fodder units of the Third Army in Kareni City.

"It seems that a big defeat is needed to make the army in the east realize its stupidity. ”

Vega watched the troops leave the garrison, and although it was still too early to predict, Vega saw no hope of victory in these three troops, because he knew the kingdom army too well.

"Brigadier General Vega, what do you think of this war?"

When the swearing-in meeting ended, the chief of staff and Vega walked together, and he said with a smile: "I have read your information, it seems that your lord has fought with the Kingdom Army several times in the north of the empire, and even saved Kareni City, how long do you think it will take for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions to defeat the Kingdom Army." ”

Vega thought for a moment and held out 3 fingers.

Eskar laughed: "Even if the Kingdom Army is useless, I'm afraid three months is a bit exaggerated, and this place is quite far away from the Divine Dynasty Kingdom, even if it is driven back and forth at full speed, it will take more than a month." ”

"Chief of Staff, I wonder if you've misunderstood something. ”

Vega shook three fingers: "I mean the Imperial Army will definitely be defeated, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions will probably ask the Commander-in-Chief for help in about 3 months, and I hope you will say a few kind words to the Commander-in-Chief for me, don't let my troops go to reinforcements, and the lower officer is here to thank you in advance." ”

"Hahaha, your lord is really humorous. ”

Eskar laughed a few times at first, and then saw Vega's serious expression gradually become serious, and he began to ask a little shakenly, "Brigadier General Vega, are you—are you serious?"

As a qualified counselor, Eskar does not let emotion overwhelm reason.

Although he didn't believe in a single word of Vega, he would also ask for advice with the utmost sincerity, because he deeply understood that one person counts short, and two people count long. A commander who does not listen to the opinions of others is definitely not a qualified officer.

In his position, seek his government.

Seeing Eskar's sincere attitude, Vega was ready to say what he had deduced last night, as long as he was not a stubborn and die-minded person, Vega was willing to share his opinion.

But just then, a voice interrupted what Vega was about to say.

Report. ”

A herald trotted over from the right and said, "Brigade Commander, Commander-in-Chief, please come to the office for a moment. ”

"I see. ”

Vega nodded, then smiled at Eskar and said, "Chief of Staff, the lower official is out of company first." ”

After a polite farewell, Vega followed the herald to Commander-in-Chief Hausman's office.

Knock Knock Knock –

Vega knocked on the door: "Report, Xiaguan Independent Heavy Brigade Vega." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Come in. A faint voice came from inside the door.

Opening the door, Vega saw Commander-in-Chief Hausman sitting behind a large desk, coughing with his handkerchief over his mouth as he reviewed the papers.

Vega walked into the office and said respectfully, "I wonder what the Commander-in-Chief is looking for me?"

"Brigadier General Vega, please be seated. ”

While Vega was walking towards the guest seat, the commander-in-chief Hausman slowly combed down his handkerchief, took off his reading glasses, then took a sip of black coffee, and said with a sigh of relief: "I have a task for you here. ”

The adjutant took out a document and placed it in front of Vega.

Seeing Vega take the document, Hausman continued: "Due to the rampant bandits on the Elchia-Shelantu National Highway, half a month ago, the deputy brigade commander of your unit, Dandry Grimm, applied to me for a task to suppress bandits, the mission period is 10 days, and the mission location is in the Rop Forest. But more than half a month has passed, and there has been no news, and I need you to lead the troops to find out the truth. ”

There was murderous intent in his faint tone.

Hausman coughed a few times and said: "This time you are allowed to send the whole brigade, if Colonel Dandry has been killed, not only Ropp Forest, I will let all the bandits along the way from Elchia to Sherantu not be left." ”

"Xia Guan understands. ”

Vega took the papers, and left the office.

Every other year, the military department will send troops to uproot one or two of the most powerful bandit nests, in order to deter the rest of the weak bandit nests from being too unscrupulous.

Of course, it is impossible for the army to expend a lot of manpower and material resources to suppress bandits.

Because most of these bandits were refugees smuggled from the Holy Dynasty, they could not do any work because they did not have the identity of the empire, so they could only do the work of bandits and bandits. Such bandits have cut stubble after stubble, so it is most appropriate to take the method of killing chickens and monkeys.

This is also because the bandits are more acquainted.

They generally do not rob the goods of the empire's commercial groups, but only attack the goods of some large and small chambers of commerce, which is the reason why the empire does not want to mobilize troops to suppress bandits, otherwise the empire would have already started to control the source from the border.

But Haussmann's short-term protection did surprise Vega.

For the sake of a deputy brigade commander who doesn't know life and death, this time he actually wants to make a big move?

However, this also played into Vega's hands, and he took the opportunity to find out some truth.

If this deputy brigade commander really led a squadron of professionals and a squad of shadow mages to suppress the bandits, of course he had nothing to say. He will try to rescue him if he is still alive, and he will avenge him when he is dead.

But if you want to do something else......

Vega's eyes showed murderous intent: "If it is really you who assassinated me, I will definitely not let you live one more day." ”

Vega is only in the initial suspicion stage now.

Although he had both motives and opportunities to assassinate him, he could not conclude that Deputy Brigade Commander Dandry was the mastermind or even kill him directly on the basis that it was a squadron of professionals who attacked him.

It's okay to kill right, but if you kill wrong, you will relax yourself and give the real enemy a chance.

But it is better to believe in what it is than to believe in what it does not have.

Based on the fact that the investigation cycle of the law enforcement team is generally relatively long, Vega is ready to take the lead and go to the bandit lair in the Ropu Forest to find out the truth.
