Chapter 312: A Test of Depth
Girlish.
Pointy ears.
These two elements directly made Vega think of a crucial person -
Princess Thea Saint Laurent.
The reason why I dare to be so sure is because pointed ears are characteristic of the royal lineage.
In the Holy Dynasty, commoners also had slightly pointed ears, but those pointed ears were only slightly raised, and they could not be seen without a closer look.
And so on.
The more noble the bloodline and the closer it is to royalty, the more pronounced the characteristics of the ears. From the nobles of the Holy Dynasty to the common people, the characteristics of the ears can be used to judge whether a person can have a high status.
According to Vega's understanding.
Whether it is the royal family or the side branches, it has always been yang and yin, and in the entire royal lineage, there is only one woman like Princess Xiya, and the rest are all men.
From this, Vega can deduce that the shadow mage team must be surrounded by Thea, and Thea has one thing that Vega wants the most, that is, the key factor related to his promotion to the next profession - Awakening Elixir.
Therefore, he neglected to search the commander of the kingdom and followed the scouts to the place of the incident.
A few minutes later.
Vega came to the vicinity of the granary.
At first glance, he saw the knight Carol protecting Princess Thea behind him, while a squadron of professionals surrounded the two of them, and of course there was a shadow mage lurking in the shadows.
With Carol's strength, it may be difficult to defeat so many people, but it is easy to kill a vote of people and then escape, but it is a pity that the shadow mage in the shadows has held him back.
Carroll didn't dare to bet.
If he left Thea's radius of one meter without permission, then he would not be confident that he would be safe for Thea, so he could only let a team of professionals surround him without the slightest solution.
"Answer me, soldier, who is your commander!"
Carol yelled at the professionals who surrounded him, "If your commander is that little imp of Vega, let him come to me, I want to see how bold he is to allow his subordinates to surround and surround my princess." β
No one answered Carroll's words.
The high-ranking armed forces were professionally trained, and they would not behave like ordinary soldiers, so even if Carol guessed that Vega was the commander of the force, no one gave him an answer.
"General, are we going over?"
Seeing that Vega was unmoved, Adjutant Ilo couldn't help but remind: "We are still allies with the dynasty, isn't it too much to surround them like this, not to mention that the common enemy of everyone at this stage is the United Kingdom." β
"Let the pro troops attack, and the shadow mages are on standby. β
Vega thought about it for a while, and finally planned to test Carol's strength, although they were not enemies between them, but for the enemy that he could not defeat, just in case, Vega still wanted to have a little more information.
As for the casualties of the soldiers?
Now the real situation is stronger than people, Vega doesn't believe that Carol dared to kill his soldiers without authorization when he guessed that this was his troops, the initiative was on Vega's side from beginning to end, and the consequences of tearing his face were self-evident.
Vega stayed in the shadows, while the pros attacked.
This situation directly startled Carroll.
He didn't expect that the enemy would really dare to attack, could it not be Vega's troops? But according to his intelligence, in the entire eastern part of the dynasty, the only two forces left were Admiral Kellison and the Imperial Army led by Vega.
He was not allowed to think too much about it.
With the pros attacking, Carol can only defend passively.
He used his mid-level skills to knock out one professional after another, but he didn't dare to use a mid-level magic weapon, just like the Vega phenomenon, Carol didn't dare to kill any of them.
Once there is a human life, I am afraid that it will not be good at that time.
Therefore, he can only hope that the commander of this army will appear soon, otherwise if the princess dies here, then even if he kills the people here, it will be useless.
"He couldn't hold it anymore, so everyone worked harder. β
The sharp-eyed man noticed that Carol's mage shield seemed to have become a little thinner, so he increased the intensity of his attack, and Carol's mana consumption was 3 or 4 times higher than usual because he had to protect the princess while fighting.
Under this kind of high-intensity battle, even he was a little unbearable.
"Whew-"
Carol gasped for breath, his eyes wandering around, hoping to find a breakthrough to escape, but unfortunately more and more professionals rushed to hear the news, and all retreats had been blocked.
Now don't say it's with Princess Thea.
Even if you don't take the princess Thea with you, you can't escape by using the trickery style, and under the cover of this heaven and earth, any magician has to wait for death obediently, and Vega almost doesn't know how strong Carol is.
The maximum mana output is 2.5 hours.
Removing the factor of Princess Thea, it will probably last for 6-7 hours.
During this period, 37 lower rank professionals passed out, and the death here can be converted to death x2, and the overall strength can probably reach the point of 74 against one enemy.
Remove Princess Thea, add mid-tier magic weapons, and shadow magic.
Vega can probably deduce that Carol alone can take out a standard professional brigade, and as for the magician, it is too powerful to experiment, so it is not clear for the time being.
But with the Word Mage deployed, Vega didn't think Carol could fight a squad of mages.
Therefore, after this temptation, Vega probably knew clearly that he included endurance, attack, and defense...... The overall strength is only about half that of Carroll.
In a heads-up situation, whether it's a protracted battle or a power confrontation, he may not be Carroll's opponent.
If Carol came to assassinate him, he would probably not be able to resist it.
Unlessβ
Vega is on the battlefield, his troops are constantly pumping magic and psychic power to him, or he has a team of elemental mages equipped with spirit mages to follow him 24 hours a day.
Regardless of the former and the latter, there are too many contingencies.
Therefore, Vega listed Carol as one of the most alarming figures, and the apprentice of this star magician was definitely not simple.
As for killing Carol now?
It's not that Vega hasn't thought about it, but considering that he still has to mix in the empire and maintain friendly relations with the dynasty, this idea can only be done on the spot, it's easy to kill someone, but it's hard to deal with the aftermath.
After thinking about all this, Vega walked over from a distance.
He pretended to be angry and shouted, "Stop it!"
A roar silenced the noisy scene for an instant, and Vega walked up to Carol under the stars and moon.
With a look of surprise on his face, he said with a look of distress: "Isn't this the Carol Guardian Knight, although I know that you are powerful, but you also put down my subordinates in front of so many people, how can I explain to everyone." β
"You!!"
Carol had anger on his face, and he was almost attacked again by the wicked men of Vega.
At the same time, he also vaguely guessed the truth of some things.
Carol squinted at Vega: "Little ghost, you shouldn't have come a long time ago, deliberately hiding behind to watch my jokes." β
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Vega coughed twice in a choked voice, and then said in a sworn tone: "Lord Carol, why do you say this, the empire and the dynasty have always been allies, and the last breakthrough battle was quite pleasant to cooperate with your Admiral Kellison, how could I order my subordinates to do such a thing to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is just because you are strong and regard you as an enemy." β
"Hmph, you think I'm going to believe it?"
"It's true!"
Vega patted his chest, looking like he would like to believe me, and finally saluted the princess and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the lower official would like to extend my most sincere apologies to you, and if you are as noble and intelligent as you, you will definitely believe that I didn't mean to." β
Vega's earnest appearance almost convinced Carol.
However, he discovers that Vega's eyes have been on Princess Thea Saint Laurent's chest, which makes Carol finally decide that Vega is communiculating a personal vendetta and wants to embarrass him in front of Her Royal Highness.
