Chapter 245: Community of Interests
Vega named the idea the Community of Interest program.
There were a total of 20 generals in the entire audit team, including the team leader, but only 10 threw olive branches to Vega.
Five of the 10 generals were senior military officials who had served in the imperial capital for a long time, including the core decision-making level of the Central Army.
The other 5 were from several army groups in the west and south, respectively.
These generals are generally the No. 3 or No. 4 people in the group army, and they may not be conspicuous in the review team, but they are also feudal officials in the local area.
Therefore, Vega intends to give 5% of each of the shares and pull the 10 generals who have recruited him into his chariot, and as for those who have not been invited to solicit, Vega does not intend to rush to give "gifts", because the possibility of rejection is very high.
Not to mention a 5% stake.
Even if the entire Rodney family is sacrificed, the existence of these pyramid tops is not taken into account at all, and even the incomparably troublesome with a chamber of commerce will be considered, and it is better to wrestle with the government system and pay more for military spending.
The idea is wonderful.
But now there is one most important premise in front of Vega, and that is that he has not yet taken down the Rodneys.
In order to establish such a community of interests, Vega could not wait for the next day.
That night, he waited for Habitat to fall asleep, and at about 1 a.m., he cautiously got up from the bunk, put on the night clothes he had prepared in advance, and then glanced at Habitat's sleeping face, and finally said "I'm sorry".
Squeak β
The moment the door was closed, the moonlight shone right through the curtains raised by the breeze on the side of the bed.
If you were careful, you could see that Qi Lisi's eyes were already full of tears, but she didn't say a word.
Having been to Rodney Manor many times, Vega is familiar with the road.
After about an hour or two, Vega was already standing at the door of Rodney's manor, and he could already see several snoozing guards in the shadows, as well as a patrol team led by a professional in the manor.
Night is the natural veil of the Shadow Mage.
Vega turned on the trick like a ghost walking towards the gate, and when the trick was turned on, even the spirit power of the elemental mage could not detect Vega's traces, unless it was the shadow mage's natural enemy, the spirit mage.
But will the Chamber of Commerce have the existence of a spirit mage?
The Rodney family did not have the support of a behemoth like the United Kingdom, so it was naturally impossible for them to have two spirit mages like the Alban family. In the Empire, the Soul Mages are almost always in the service of the military.
Plus the information she got from Habitat.
Vega learns that the Rodney Chamber of Commerce has recruited about 5 mages, and even with the addition of the butler Fokk, who has been loyal to the Rodney family for generations, there are only 6 elemental mages, which poses no threat to Vega.
Come to the gate.
Vega stood in front of two guards, who were just ordinary people, and of course it was impossible to detect a trickery that even an elemental mage could not detect, so their heads fell to the ground a second later.
I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go.
In order to solve this matter at once, Vega is here to exterminate the clan this time, not to assassinate.
It sounds a little bloody, butβ
Whether it's a guard or a servant, an old man or a child, tonight the entire Rodney family will cease to exist except for Habitat.
Why do you want to kill them all, isn't it better to just kill your descendants?
Because Vega didn't want to leave anything to do, treating some servants and guarding women with kindness was likely to end up putting himself in a passive situation, which was a mistake Vega definitely didn't want to make.
Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me.
Vega, who had understood this sentence a year ago, officially stepped into the gate of the manor.
At 3.18 a.m., the best time for a night attack.
Vega licked his scarlet lips, flipped the short knife in his hand, and launched an attack on the patrol team 20 meters ahead.
There are 10 patrol teams, 9 general guards, and 1 professional.
Vega is not an elemental mage after all, so he can't kill 10 people at once with powerful magic, so it is inevitable that there will be some disturbances in the torture of this team.
"Assassins!
Seeing two or three of his men inexplicably dead, the professional captain immediately noticed that something was wrong, so he fired a warning firework into the sky, but after releasing the eye signal, the entire patrol was wiped out.
Vega, who had withdrawn the trickery, took a deep breath and said regretfully: "Sure enough, killing professionals can be refreshing, but it's a pity that killing ordinary people can't get magic power, even the throbbing of the heart is completely gone." β
With Vega's exclamation, the dimly lit manor was lit up.
I saw teams of guards pouring out of several houses, surrounding the house where Leighton lived to defend it, and Leighton Rodney, the current patriarch of the Rodney family and the father of Habitat, was certainly not a cowardly person, he walked out under the stars and moon.
"If a friend comes late at night, please show up. β
As a businessman, Leighton did not get angry at the first time, but said in a kind and wealthy manner: "If I Leighton inadvertently offended Your Excellency, I am here to apologize to Your Excellency, and please allow me to compensate Your Excellency, if Your Excellency is only entrusted by someone, then the contemptible person is willing to pay double the price, what do you think?"
Whoaβ
The wind shook the trees, and Vega, who was using the trickery, did not make a sound, let alone show up.
At this time, the magician beside Layton whispered to Layton's side and said: "Patriarch, no trace has been found, it is very likely that the person who came is a shadow mage, if we can't force the other party to appear, I'm afraid we are not opponents." β
Drops of cold sweat slipped down Layton's forehead.
If it was an ordinary elemental mage and a professional, he still had a way to deal with it, but the shadow mage really didn't have any way, which was the reason why Layton panicked.
"What you said is true?"
But after hearing a hoarse voice, Layton was happy in his heart, the other party was hooked?
"I, the Rodney family, are based on good faith, and I ask you to trust in the sincerity of your contemptible. β
Leighton replied immediately: "Please show up, and I will treat you as a distinguished guest." β
A dwarf, dark shadow dressed in a nighttime suit appears in front of the fountain's magic lamp.
Seeing the height of the black shadow, Layton always had a familiar feeling, but he didn't think too much, but waved his big hand, revealing a hideous expression: "Hahaha, stupid! You actually tried to believe the words of a businessman and kill him for me." β
Magic is roaring.
The fire method, the wind method, and the earth law instantly hit Vega, and Vega's body was also shattered.
"Damn, it's a mirror image!"
One of the magicians roared, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the shadow was already standing behind Layton, and raised his dagger in the air.
"I'm sorry, I never believed the merchant's words, andβ"
The hoarse voice made Layton's mind blank for a while: "Double the price, I'm afraid you can't afford it." β
Hand up and knife down.
Seeing that the short knife was about to fall on Leighton's neck, but at this moment, Vega felt a strong wind behind him, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to use the life of Leighton, the patriarch, as bait, and a praying mantis to catch cicadas, with the yellow finch behind.
However, the opponent does not use magic, but melee attacks.
It is important to know that melee attacks are generally difficult to break through the mage's shield in one hit, and it is impossible for an elemental mage not to know this, that is, this yellow finch is undoubtedly a professional.
"Hmph, just a professional. β
Vega instantly erected the mage's shield to defend against attacks from behind, and the short knife in his hand continued to castrate.
But just then, a voice from Vega that was not expected came.
Click-
It was the sound of a mage's shield shattering.
As the voice fell, a fist pierced his abdomen, and Vega turned his head in disbelief.
