Chapter 804: Safety and Danger
Royal Palace, Central Strip.
It's quite close to the war-torn East Corner, but it's a step closer to the Vega dormitory than the East Corner. If someone is standing on a high place, they can even see Vega and his party directly with the naked eye.
in a corner.
Nine men dressed in black gathered together, no one spoke, and stood there silently.
Let's do itβ
Another black figure fell from a great height and stood in front of the nine.
"How's it going?"
The man in charge asked impatiently when he saw the man in black jumping from a height.
The tenth man in black, who had just returned to the team, said: "The plan is going well, No. 11-17 has already attracted their attention, and after a while, Vega Saint Laurent should be attracted to the east corner, he probably never dreamed that we would actually divide into two ways, and the 2nd team deliberately let the spirit mage find out from the beginning." β
That's the plan of the death squad.
Seven men were sent to the East Point to be discovered by the Spirit Mage, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the convoy to entice Vega to come to the rescue in person.
Can this fool Vega?
If you put it in normal times, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult.
But after their investigation, Vega did indeed act much more laxly than in the wilderness after returning to Saint Laurent City.
In addition, they deliberately chose the place where the other team was deliberately exposed in the East Corner, which was close in front of them, just to paralyze Vega, so that Vega subconsciously felt that even if something happened, he could come back from the East Corner and remedy it in time.
This mentality can lead to overlook some of the potential dangers.
In addition, most people will not take their precious things with them when they have a certain possibility of losing them, and they will keep them in the bank safe if they have them, and they will hide them at home if they have no conditions.
This also makes these people ignore the fact that the bank and home are not completely safe places.
Replaced here, it is possible that Vega will ...... No, there should be a very good chance that he will not take the two war species to the dangerous place he is about to go, but will stay behind what he thinks is safe, and send at most one star mage and a team of escorts to guard him.
And that's exactly what they want.
The team hiding in the center has a total of ten people, five of whom are shadow mages and the other five are saint-rank dragon envoys, which is enough to contain the star elemental mages and take away or use the war species.
No matter how bad it is.
It can also kill two war species before Vega returns from the Eastern Cape.
So all they had to do now was wait for Vega to leave the two wars.
ββββ
The other side.
When Vega heard the guard's report, he was subconsciously stunned.
An assassination team of only 7 people is about to break through the defense line and attack this way?
Vega frowned, because the eastern corner was nearby, and the guard force was quite strong, once the enemy was discovered, it was basically impossible to break through the defense line with only 7 people.
"What is the average strength of the enemy?"
Vega asked a point, and the guard's answer was exactly as he expected.
"Report to Your Majesty. β
The guard said with trepidation: "It has been determined that there are four high-ranking shadow mages, and three more have not seen any traces of their spells for the time being, but our mages cannot cause them any damage. β
"It's finally done. β
Vega's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, even if you don't have to look at it, you know that the four high-ranking shadow mages are either the masterpieces of the Gundy City State or the people of the Empire, as for the other three who can't do magic but can beat the existence of the magician, it must be the Holy Dragon Envoy.
If it's this assassination power.
Then 7 people can indeed enter the palace without knowing it, and ordinary spirit mages can't find them at all, or if they just find out, they will be directly killed by the Holy Dragon Envoy.
Luckily.
The eastern corner is very close to the dormitory, and the high-intensity reconnaissance network has been covered, and even one of the only three mid-level speech and spirit mages in the country is equipped to act as an eye for the reconnaissance network, and the enemy has nowhere to hide.
"Thea, protect the two of them. β
Vega turned to Thea and ordered him to go to the eastern corner to kill the seven assassins.
Because four of the high-ranking mages were easy to solve, the palace was equipped with a full fifteen high-ranking mages to protect them, and they were enough to suppress them, but the remaining three holy dragon envoys were difficult to do.
Even the astral elemental magic could not harm the Holy Dragon Envoy.
This also means that there is no possibility of killing the enemy except for him himself.
If he didn't make a move, he would only let his own superior mage die in vain, which was something Vega didn't want to see.
Because there are very few high-ranking mages in Jialan Country, each of them is a national treasure-level existence, and it also plays a role in dying, and then dies on the battlefield, instead of dying in such a meaningless place.
Thea seems to understand this, too.
She said to Vega, "I'll protect them both, and you should be careful." β
Vega nodded, then lifted the Infinity Blade and walked in the direction of the eastern corner, but after taking less than two steps, he remembered the reminder that Thea had told him to be more careful the other day, which made him pause slightly.
It's hard to do two things at a time.
When the eyes are no longer looking ahead, and the body is no longer moving forward, it means that the brain is spinning at high speed.
Vega returned to the state it was in at war.
If we look at the current situation from the point of view of war, then everything seems to be immediately apparent.
Someone wants to turn the tiger away from the mountain!
If you think about it, why did the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Gundy City State, or the Empire, launch an assassination attempt in the difficult city of Saint Laurent, instead of directly on the way back?
This is indeed a point that is easy to overlook.
Vega wouldn't even think about it if it was in a state of complete laxity, but Thea's unintentional reminder made Vega a little more vigilant, and it was this little bit of vigilance that made Vega smell the conspiracy.
Because the answer to not doing that is already very obvious -
The most dangerous place is the safest place, because there is no one to rely on, on the way back, Vega can only rely on himself to protect the two women, so he will not leave the two war species, and it is almost impossible to cross him to kill the war species, which is the most dangerous wilderness has become the safest place.
Conversely, you can take advantage of the fact that the safest place is the most dangerous place.
After recalling carefully, after returning to Saint Laurent, because there were a large number of guards to protect the palace, he first relieved himself to arrange the two daughters to the next room, and now he had to leave the two daughters to Xia, preparing to go to the eastern corner alone to fight the enemy. This is obviously making one mistake after another, and it is not at all prepared for danger in times of peace.
The safest is the most dangerous.
After being sorted out a little, the idea becomes clear.
The enemy must have taken advantage of this psychological contrast, which is the safest and the safest and the most dangerous, to take advantage of the temporary relaxation of his tense nerves, to set a trap to paralyze him, and to play a good show of diverting the tiger from the mountain.
The mentors of this program should not be underestimated.
Vega felt inexplicably jealous of the enemy's unknown planner.
However, the most urgent task is to solve the problem.
