Dead.

In a small single room with bunk beds, magic lights flicker on and off.

"General, tomorrow is finally the time to land. ”

Lieutenant Ilo spread out the map, and then pointed to the city of Sherantu: "After landing, we can hire a carriage from the city of Shelantu and go all the way east along the city of Alsiri, and if the weather is good, we can reach it within a week." ”

"You've worked hard all the way. ”

Vega smiled at Ilo, he really didn't look at the wrong person, except for the shortcoming of pride in his bones, there was really nothing to find fault with in his ability to do things, and he hardly had to ask about the trivial matters along the way.

Most importantly, Iroh is very self-aware.

Inconsequential trivial matters will not trouble him, and more important matters will definitely not be overstepped, it can be said that this is the only most qualified adjutant that Vega has encountered, and several adjutants in the past cannot be compared at all.

"It's all a matter of the lower officials. ”

Iroh was overjoyed when he heard this, but he remained humble on his face.

Vega nodded and said, "It's late at night, let's stop here today, everything will be discussed in the long term when it comes to Shelantu City." ”

"Yes, General. ”

Iloh waited for Vega to get ready, and then extinguished the magic lamp in the room, but Vega, who couldn't sleep for a while, pulled up the curtains and looked out the window a few minutes later.

"It's a nice day. ”

Vega looked at the huge full moon, it was the first time he had admired the moonlight in such a high sky.

Time was passing minute by minute, Vega looked at the moon, closed his eyes in a daze, probably tomorrow will be a good day, a faint murmur lingered, Vega fell asleep.

Click-

It's the sound of the door lock turning, but it's hard for people to notice because it's so light.

Vega's ears moved with the inaudible sound of the door locking, but he didn't wake up.

Da, da.

The footsteps were lighter than that of a wild cat, and even Ilo, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was unaware.

One, two, three......

About 4 dark shadows entered the room, and two of them raised their daggers and looked at each other, and without hesitation, they stabbed Vega and Iroh in the chest, and the daggers were surging with magical power, and if they were stabbed, even the magician would have to die on the spot.

"W-what!"

The dagger was about to stab Vega, but he found that a jet-black dagger had pierced his heart.

Shadow Style, activate!

It was too late, but it was too soon, Vega jumped out of bed, not only to deal with his assassin, but also to deal with the assassin who almost killed Iro, and Ilo was awakened at this time.

He scrambled to his feet and drew his cross-sword to block it in front of Vega: "General, you are all right. ”

"Don't worry, it's not so easy to want my life. ”

Vega smiled, then squinted at the few people in night clothes: "Say, who sent you." Vizmir or Kraft or the top 10 business families. ”

Vega's eyes narrowed, trying to take the other party's words.

It's a pity that these people are obviously well-trained, Vega didn't see the answer in their eyes, these people didn't even say a word, they actually rushed straight towards him, as if they wanted to win more and less.

"Iro, stand down. ”

Vega gave an order to Iro, who was just an ordinary person, not to be reckless.

Iloh apparently knew that he would only be holding back, so he retreated behind Vega, but with his cross-sword on guard, he seemed ready to support Vega at any time, but he clearly underestimated Vega's strength.

Three times five divided by two, Vega killed the two professionals who rushed in.

Trying to fight against the mage with the power of a professional is really beyond his strength, but when Vega killed the second professional, the third professional, who had not moved, gestured towards the door.

As the gesture fell, a noisy footstep was heard, and a group of people blocked the door.

The group was dressed in the same way as the Assassins killed by Vega, all dressed in pitch-black night suits, covering half of their faces, and judging by the number of people, there were probably thirty or forty people.

"Wait, thirty or forty?"

Vega's eyes narrowed, and then he remembered the soldiers of the squadron on the civilian airship.

Although there are nearly 10,000 people on the entire airship, there are not many professionals, and being able to dispatch so many professionals is obviously the professional squadron of the empire, and only after systematic training can they cooperate so tacitly.

"Blatantly sending troops to assassinate me, yes, very good. ”

At this moment, Vega probably guessed that it was not someone in the imperial capital who wanted his life, but someone in the Seventh Army of the Empire, who was about to take office, who wanted his life, and I was afraid that his airborne brigadier would move someone's cake.

And this person who wants his life has two brushes.

The advantage of using the army for assassination is that even if there is a murder on the airship, then the law enforcement team has no right to keep an army on the mission, and it is estimated that the assassination time is scheduled on the last day, that is, they don't want the law enforcement team on the airship to have enough time to investigate one by one, and when they leave, even if it is found out that it was Vega who was assassinated by this squadron, there is no way to find it.

After all, assassinating a general is a big crime.

But with this method, exposure is perfectly avoided, and it can be said that the plan is quite perfect.

"But just sending a squadron of professionals wants my life?"

Vega smiled brightly, "Do you look down on the Shadow Mage too much, or do you really think of me as a lucky little hairy child, hahaha." ”

As he spoke, Vega did not advance but retreated.

Bang bang bang –

A series of iron intersects, and the battle is a completely one-sided slaughter.

But after ten minutes, Vega became more and more irritable.

Because the single room was too small, Vega couldn't use it at all, and he could only use the mage's shield to eat the enemy's attacks, and he couldn't rely on dodging to save mana. The most important thing is that the enemy forms a human wall to block the door, and there is also a combined attack technique, he can't kill it, and the other party is clearly preparing to consume his magic power.

"It's too much mana. ”

Vega's brow began to furrow, and he had to give up casting shadow spells and trickery to save mana, while relying only on the mage's shield to fight, which slowed down the rate of mana consumption.

Diametrically opposed to the consumption of mana, Vega's spiritual power does not decrease but increases.

Because Vega found out that this was a squadron of professionals, and although there were no ordinary people to replenish his magic power, there were enough professionals to replenish his spiritual power.

But without magic, empty mental power is of no use at all.

Vega found that the efficiency of killing people in a single room was too low, and he saw that he was about to kill the other party with a single knife, but was blocked by another enemy, and so on, the enemy estimated that half of the enemy was still there, but 2/3 of his magic power had been used.

"If this continues, maybe it will really be the way of this group of people. ”

Vega finally stabbed one to death, and his brows began to wrinkle, the sourness of being pressed into the dead corner and rubbing it made his angry teeth itch.

In this way, it really has the taste of a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon swimming in the shallows.

But at this time, Vega remembered something.

"How did I forget about the mid-level technique? ”

Since the combat skill is a crippled version, Vega has never taken him seriously, but in this case, it is probably possible to break through the blockade of the door with a little bit of power buff.
