Chapter 264: Moonlight Assassination
Silent night.

In a small single room with bunk beds, the magic lamp flickered on and off.

"My lord, we will finally land tomorrow."

Lieutenant Yiluo spread out the map, and then pointed to Xie Lantu City Road: "After landing, we can hire a carriage from Xie Lantu City, and go all the way east along Alsiri City. If the weather is good, we can arrive within a week."

"You have worked hard on this journey."

Vega smiled at Yiluo, he really didn't misunderstand the person, except for the shortcoming of pride in his bones, there is really nothing to be picky about in terms of ability to handle affairs, and he almost doesn't need to ask about trivial matters along the way.

Most importantly, Yiluo is very self-aware.

Insignificant matters will not bother him, and the more important matters will never be overstepped. It can be said that this is the only most qualified adjutant Vega has encountered, and the previous adjutants cannot be compared at all.

"It's all within the official's job."

Yi Luo showed joy when he heard the words, but still kept a humble attitude on his face.

Vega nodded and said, "It's getting late at night, let's call it a day. We'll wait until we get to Xie Lantu City to make a long-term plan."

"Yes, General."

After Yiluo waited for Vega to get ready, he turned off the magic lamp in the room, but Vega, who was temporarily unable to sleep, pulled the curtains and looked out the window a few minutes later.

"It's a nice day today."

Veigar looked at the huge full moon, and it was the first time for him to appreciate the moonlight from such a high altitude.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Veigar looked at the moon, and closed his eyes in a daze, probably tomorrow will be a good weather, and the inaudible murmur lingered, Veigar fell asleep.

click-

This is the sound of the door lock turning, but it is difficult for ordinary people to detect because the movement is so light.

Following the inaudible sound of the door lock turning, Vega's ears moved, but he didn't wake up.

Da da da.

Even Yi Luo, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, didn't notice the footsteps that were lighter than a wild cat.

One, two, three...

About 4 black shadows entered the room. Two of them raised their daggers and looked at each other. They stabbed at the chests of Vega and Yiluo without any hesitation. Magic power surged on the daggers. If they were stabbed, they would be regarded as magicians. Also died on the spot.

"What, what!"

Seeing that the dagger was about to stab Veigar, he found that a black dagger had already pierced his heart.

Shadow technique, activate!

It was too late, but soon, Vega jumped up from the bed, not only dealt with his assassin, but also easily dealt with the assassin who almost killed Yiluo, and Yiluo was also awakened at this time.

He got up all at once, and drew out his long cross sword to block Vega: "Your Excellency, you are fine."

"Don't worry, it's not so easy to want my life."

Veigar chuckled, then squinted his eyes and looked at the people in night suits: "Tell me, who sent you here. Vizmir? Or Kafuin? Or the top ten business families."

Veigar narrowed his eyes, trying to tell the other party what to say.

It's a pity that these people are obviously well-trained, and Veigar didn't see the answer from their eyes. These people didn't even say a word, but rushed towards him directly, as if they wanted to win the few with more.

"Ilo, step back."

Vega gave an order to tell Yiluo, who was just an ordinary person, not to be brave.

Yiluo obviously knew that he would only hold back, so he retreated behind Vega, but he was on guard with the cross sword, as if he was ready to support Vega at any time, but he obviously underestimated Vega's strength.

With three strikes, five divisions and two divisions, Veigar killed the two rushing professionals.

Using the power of a professional to fight against a magician is really an overreaching move, but when Vega killed the second professional, the third professional who had been silent for a while attacked the door. gesture.

As the gesture fell, there was a burst of noisy footsteps, and a group of people blocked the door.

This group of people was dressed in the same way as the assassins killed by Veigar. They were all dressed in dark night clothes, covering half of their faces at the same time. Judging from the number of people, there were about 40 to [-] people.

"Wait, three forty people?"

Veigar narrowed his eyes, and then remembered the soldiers of the squadron on the civilian airship.

Although there are nearly [-] people on the entire airship, there are not many professionals. It is obviously the professional squadron of the empire that can dispatch so many professionals, and only those who have undergone systematic training can cooperate so tacitly.

"Bravely sending troops to assassinate me, yes, very good."

At this moment, Veigar probably guessed that it was not someone from the imperial capital who wanted his life, but someone from the Seventh Army of the Empire who was about to take office. I am afraid that his airborne brigadier general touched someone's cake.

And the person who killed him still has two brushes.

The advantage of using the army for assassination is that even if a homicide occurs on the airship, the law enforcement team has no right to keep an army on mission. It is estimated that the assassination time is scheduled for the last day, just because the law enforcement team on the airship does not want to have enough Time to investigate one by one, and when they leave, even if it is found out that Vega was assassinated by this squadron, there is no way to find them.

After all, assassinating a general is a serious crime.

But through this method, exposure is perfectly avoided, and it can be said that the plan is quite perfect.

"But just sending a squadron of professionals wants my life?"

Veigar showed a bright smile: "Is it because you look down on the Shadow Mage too much, or do you really regard me as a lucky kid, hahaha."

While talking, Vega retreated instead of advancing.

bang bang bang-

A series of iron objects intersected, and the battle was completely one-sided massacre.

But after more than ten minutes, Veigar became more and more irritable.

Because the single room was too small, Veigar couldn't use it at all. He could only use the mage's shield to forcefully absorb the enemy's attacks, and he couldn't rely on dodging to save magic power.The most important thing is that the enemy formed a human wall to block the door of the house, and there is also a combined attack technique. He just couldn't get out, and the opponent made it clear that they were going to consume his magic power.

"The magic power is consumed too much."

Veigar's brows began to frown. He had to give up casting shadow techniques and trick techniques to save mana, and at the same time only relied on the mage's shield to fight, which slowed down the rate of mana consumption.

Contrary to the consumption of magic power, Veigar's spiritual power did not decrease but increased.

Because Veigar discovered that this is a squadron of professionals. Although there are no ordinary people to replenish his magic power, there are enough professionals to replenish his spiritual power.

But without magic power, mental power is useless at all.

Veigar found that being stuck in a single room was too inefficient for killing people. He was about to kill the opponent with a single blow, but was blocked by another enemy. This went on and on, and the enemy probably had half of it left, but he had already used 2/3 of his magic power.

"If this goes on like this, it might really follow the way of this group of people."

After finally stabbing one of them to death, Veigar began to frown. The sour feeling of being rubbed against a dead corner made his teeth itch with anger.

From this point of view, it is really a bit like a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon swimming in the shallows.

But at this moment, Veigar remembered one thing.

"Why did I forget the middle-level combat skills?"

Since the combat skills were incomplete, Veigar hadn't taken him seriously, but in this situation, it would probably be possible to break through the blockade of the room with just a little more power buff.
