Chapter 149 The Herald Part 1
The voice did not fall.

I saw this uninvited guest directly attacking Vega.

This was indeed beyond Vega's expectations, because this was in the underground air-raid shelter of the empire. Even Bruno Valen hadn't discovered this secret location for the time being. How could there be enemies sneaking here.

And he had just returned to the Third Army half a day ago.

But in such a short period of time, the enemy learned of his return and sent someone to assassinate him immediately?
This is simply not possible.

And what's the use of assassinating him as a little second lieutenant? The Kingdom Army has such a leisurely attitude. It would be more cost-effective to assassinate Foster. Why bother to embarrass him, a small fish and shrimp.

So here we know.

The uninvited guest in front of him who suddenly launched an attack was not a soldier of the Royal Army, but a member of the Imperial Army.

Someone in the Imperial Army doesn't want him back?
But Veigar really doesn't remember offending anyone, so he can only temporarily bury this doubt in his heart.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Veigar, who was in a stealth state, didn't panic, but manipulated the mirror image to retreat immediately.

In fact, he really didn't need to panic, because the enemy only attacked the mirror image, and even if the mirror image was stabbed, it wouldn't cause any damage to his body. The reason why he manipulated the mirror image to retreat was only to delay it for a second.

A look of contempt flashed in the eyes of the uninvited guest when he saw the mirror image receding.

Then he jumped forward, and the two daggers in his hands flew up, and a second later, they were directly placed on Veigar's neck.

Veigar in the dark found that this person was very fast. Even if he was the main body, facing this sudden attack, he might not even be able to activate the mage's shield, and he would be instantly killed by the enemy.

What is the identity of such a master?
"It's better to be famous than to meet, and it turned out to be nothing more than that."

A hoarse voice came from the other party's mouth, and he kept the dagger on Vega's neck and said: "I heard that Second Lieutenant Vega is the holder of the surnames 'Empire Wings' and 'Kalleni', and is also a You are a shadow mage, but now it seems that you don't have the vigilance that a shadow mage should have, which is really regrettable."

The intruder shook his head.

Then he said in a disdainful tone: "It seems that you were able to obtain these two honors, but it was just luck..."

"Sir, don't you think that luck is also a kind of strength?" Mirror Image interrupted with a smile.

"Luck is also a kind of strength?"

The young man chuckled: "If luck is really a kind of strength, it seems that today is your unlucky day, Lieutenant, and your so-called luck doesn't seem to be able to save you, so are you ready to die? Be honest. Say I don't like your calm face very much, as a prey that fell into a trap, you should have the consciousness of the prey, how about showing panic to please me?"

"Panic?"

"Sounds really interesting."

The mirror image shrugged, and still said with a calm expression: "Why don't you give me a demonstration, sir?"

"Oh! Brat, you managed to piss me off."

A hoarse and dry voice echoed, and the opponent's dagger had cut through the skin of the mirror image.

But the mirror image still said confidently: "What a pity, is the game over so soon?"

click-

Like a balloon being punctured, although the blow was not fatal, the damaged mirror image was instantly shattered.

And at this time.

A pitch-black dagger rested on the neck of the uninvited guest, and standing behind him was Veigar's manipulative shadow.

"Damn, is this a mirror image?"

An unbelievable voice came from the man's mouth: "No, this level of mirror image is... the pinnacle?"

"I'm so sorry, it looks like today is my lucky day."

Veigar's beating voice lingered in the opponent's ears from all directions, and he still hasn't removed the deceitful style. To put it bluntly, this is of course a high-level combat awareness that even if he is sure of winning, he will never put himself in danger.

To put it simply... I am afraid of death.

But it was also this move that successfully made the uninvited guest panic.

He quickly threw the dagger in his hand on the ground and said: "Second Lieutenant Vega, please don't be impulsive. I am the No. 1 messenger of the Shadow Mage Squadron. I heard that your officer has been temporarily assigned to the Shadow Mage Squadron. I came here to say hello to you. "

"This form of greeting is really strange."

Veigar chuckled, and then continued: "If you want me to be honest, then this gentleman who claims to be the herald, can you please throw the dagger in the military boots on the ground as well?"

"Nothing can escape your eyes."

The young man gave a wry smile, then pulled out the dagger in his boots and threw it on the ground without hesitation: "Second Lieutenant Veigar, you can see that there is no problem with this. If possible, please show up."

"Of course it's okay to show up and see."

Veigar did not manipulate the shadow to put down the dagger, but continued: "Can you throw the two daggers hidden on your shoulders and the dagger on your belt...to the ground together?"

"..."

Under the messenger's expression of seeing a ghost, he had no choice but to throw out 8 daggers.

Even though the messenger seemed to have no threat, Veigar still cast the 'Shadow Art - Mirror Image' again, using a duplicate body instead of the main body to appear, and the messenger obviously didn't find anything wrong.

"Huh, finally willing to show up."

The hoarse voice of the messenger came: "Let's get to know each other again, I am the No. 1 messenger of the Shadow Mage Squadron, and please allow me to take back my previous statement that you were not vigilant at all. Using it together is really hard to guard against, even I, a level 3 shadow mage, have never been so aggrieved."

"Your official is absurd."

The mirror image Veija chuckled, glanced at the certificate, and chose to believe the messenger.

Because the documents in the imperial army are very difficult to forge, and combined with the previous situation, it seems that the herald has no intention of killing him, and probably just wants to test his strength. If he really has the intention to kill, he will be the first Time slits the mirror's throat.

The messenger shook his head, obviously he was not a stingy person: "If you lose, you lose. Second Lieutenant Veiga is superior in skills. There is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, being able to practice the three magics to the peak is not something ordinary people can do." If I did it, I won’t be wronged.”

Paused.

The messenger went on to say: "This time, apart from saying hello to the second lieutenant, there are some precautions about the Shadow Mage Squadron and the differences between the Shadow Mage Squadron and the ordinary Mage Squadron that need to be explained to you."

"Is the Shadow Mage Squadron different from the normal Mage Squadron?" Vega asked curiously.

"Of course."

Herald No. 1 puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Our Shadow Mage Squadron is the elite of the elite. It is different from the group of elemental mages outside who know how to be reckless. This difference is not only reflected in the system, but also in the way of fighting. middle."
