On the night of December 14th.

Taking advantage of the night, Vega's first division and 15,000 imperial troops drove towards the Moon's Breath Mountains, preparing to cross the Moon's Breath Mountains according to the original plan, and sneak attack the rear of the Moon's Breath City on the 15th.

"The order was given to prepare the whole army for action. ”

Hume Rupert, the commander of the 1st Division, took his pocket watch and looked at it, and finally gave the order impatiently.

The adjutant did not act according to Hume's order at the first time, but said with some concern: "Master Division, there is no trace of the Air Force until now, if they don't come......

"They did not dare to disobey orders. ”

Hume thought very highly of himself and said: "This war is completely fought for the dynasty, and the blood of our soldiers is also shed for the dynasty, if this war fails, it is their dynasty that will lose the most, so they dare not cooperate with us." ”

"But ......"

The adjutant wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hume: "Ensign, carry out the order." It would take us two hours to reach the vicinity of the Moon's Breath Mountains, during which time the Air Force would have time to catch up and cover us, unless they didn't want their lives. ”

"I see, Master. ”

The adjutant gave the order for the whole army to march towards the Moonrest Mountains, as Hume had ordered.

It's not without reason that Hume is so confident.

Vega's prestige in the army was skyrocketing, and even if he broke his promise to bring them home and made them go on a crusade for the sake of the dynasty, not a single soldier could question Vega's orders.

Just because each of them is madly worshipping Vega.

It can be said that apart from making them betray the Empire, they can do anything for Vega, and this also applies to the Dynasty Army, so even if the commander of the aviation brigade has a few guts, he will not dare to disobey Vega's orders, which is the reason for Hume's self-confidence.

There is a kind of temperament called not angry and mighty.

Even though Vega had never punished anyone, every officer instinctively admired and feared Vega.

The commander of the aviation brigade was also among them, of course.

Everything was as imagined, out of respect for Vega and his own responsibility, the commander of the aviation brigade did not dare to add personal grudges to serious battles, so Vega asked him to cover the first division to infiltrate the Moon Rest Mountains, even at the risk of total annihilation, he had to order his subordinates to go to cover.

But just as he was about to start fighting, something unexpected happened.

Magic powerhouses of 50 war airships, damaged......

When he heard the news, the commander of the aviation brigade almost passed out, he grabbed the repairman's collar and said, "Just tell me, how long will it take to repair?"

"5 days, no, 3 days, just 3 days. ”

The repairman patted his chest and promised: "Please give me three days, and I will definitely repair these 50 war airships in good condition." ”

"Three, three days?"

The air brigade commander's pupils were almost dilated, and he realized that it was over.

If he can't do it according to the plan, then this responsibility falls on his head, and his military career will not only have to end, but he will also face the punishment of Vega, and of course, what really makes him unable to forgive himself is to let Vega's plan go bankrupt.

"No, the Commander must be notified in time. ”

The commander of the aviation brigade realized that now was not the time to think about how to shirk responsibility and what kind of punishment he would accept, but what he had to do now was to notify the 15,000 Vega troops to withdraw immediately, otherwise without their cover, it would be easy to be discovered by the enemy's air reconnaissance force, and once surrounded, I am afraid that only half of them would be able to return alive.

Stumbling along the way.

The aviation brigade commander came to Vega's private office and said eagerly to the guards at the door: "Quickly inform the commander, just say that I have something important to report, a hundred thousand urgent matters!"

The guards glanced at each other.

Then one of the guards said, "I'm sorry, Lord Mott Anger, the commander is not in the office for the time being, please forgive us for not being able to tell you exactly where he went." ”

"Alas!"

The commander of the aviation brigade, Mot Anger, sighed fiercely, and then rushed outside for the first time, and when he disappeared from sight, the two guards discussed it in detail.

"I was actually guessed by the commander, this Colonel Mott is really here. ”

"Why did you say the commander told us not to divulge his whereabouts?"

"How can we guess the wisdom of the commander?"

“......”

While the two guards were discussing, after a full hour and a half of groping, the aviation brigade commander Mott finally found Vega's traces.

On the tower of the city where the cold wind howled.

The pale moonlight illuminated Vega's face even more childishly, and he looked quietly in the direction of the Moonrest Mountain Range, as if he was expecting something, but there was a trace of unbearability in his expectant eyes.

Aviation Brigade Commander Mott no longer paid attention to these.

He took three steps and made two steps, and came directly to Vega: "General, the subordinate has something important to report, please ......"

Vega raised his right hand and stopped the words of the aviation brigade commander Mott.

"General......

The aviation brigade commander Mot Anger didn't care about so much, and said in a hurry: "The war airship has been damaged, and we can't use aviation force to cover the 1st Division, please send someone to let them retreat immediately, it will be too late at night." ”

"Are you guilty?"

Vega didn't show any expression, didn't even glance at Mott, just stared straight ahead.

"Xiaguan...... Willing to be punished. ”

The aviation brigade commander sighed, knowing that he would not be able to escape if he died, so he continued: "But please also ask the commander to give an order immediately, first notify the 1st Division to retreat, this is the most important thing." ”

"It's too late. ”

Vega pointed in the direction of the Moon's Breath Mountain Range, and saw bursts of red light in the place hidden by the heavy mountain, dyeing half of the pitch-black sky red, as colorful as bright fireworks.

Thump.

Seeing this situation, the aviation brigade commander Mott lost the light in his eyes, and he wept bitterly and said: "The subordinate officer is guilty, the subordinate officer is guilty, it is all because of the subordinate officer, that the commander's foolproof plan has been flawed, and the subordinate officer is guilty!"

As he spoke.

The commander of the aviation brigade, Mott, was about to draw his sword and kill himself, but Vega stopped him: "Since you know that you are guilty, you should atone for your sins in the next war, and I want your life to be able to save my loss?"

"Commander, you mean ......"

Vega didn't look at Mott again, but slowly untied the medal on his chest under his puzzled gaze.

It was the Wings of the Empire, known as one of the highest medals of the Empire, and it was a high-level honor that Imperial soldiers were willing to fight for all their lives.

But Vega seems to have made up some kind of determination.

He clenched the medal tightly in his right hand, crushed it with the blessing of his magic power, and then raised it forward, and suddenly turned into a handful of ashes and passed away with the cold wind.

"Start today. ”

"I have nothing to do with the Empire. ”

Vega's words of relief echoed across the towers, directly signaling that he had distanced himself from the Empire.
