Chapter 50: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain?

Veigar is caught in a dilemma.

He wants to kill all the kingdom soldiers here, because these heads are enough to send him to a fourth-level trainee professional.

But he couldn't kill these kingdom soldiers who had surrendered.

Because once this matter is leaked, he can't guarantee that the military department of the empire will protect him as an unknown person at the international summit. After all, he is just a little-known second lieutenant company commander.

A second lieutenant commander is not worthy of the empire's fuss.

If you want to increase your strength, but are subject to international conventions, it is difficult to have both the fish and the bear's paw.If it is an ordinary officer who encounters this kind of situation, it is probably fine. After all, life is the most important thing, and there are opportunities to improve his strength, but Vega is a greedy person.

Fish and bear's paw, he wants both.

Veigar looked at Lieutenant Char and said, "Sergeant, can I trust you?"

Charles was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly became excited.

After getting along for such a long time, in the eyes of Lieutenant Char, Veigar is an officer worth sacrificing his life for, and now such an excellent officer asks him if he can be trusted, is this trying to train him to be a confidant? ?
"The next official is willing to dedicate his life to you."

The adjutant made a fist with his right hand and slapped it on the heart. He stood at attention and swore loudly.

"I believe you."

Vega nodded and said, "You take the prisoners back to the watchtower, you just need to tie their hands with ropes, and remember to keep a distance of 300 meters from them."

"Yes, Captain."

The adjutant agreed without hesitation, and at the same time asked doubts: "Is it too risky to keep 300 meters, I am afraid that the people of the Kingdom Army will take the opportunity to escape."

"Escape?"

Veigar's mouth raised a bright smile: "Then let them escape."

Saying so, Veigar walked towards the Royal Army ahead.

Looking at Veigar's petite back rather than thinness, Charl couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect the company commander to be so innocent and cute when he smiled. If he was just an ordinary child, he must be quite lovable. It's a pity that the empire actually let him Such a young child is raised to be an officer for war..."

He remembered Veigar's bright smile in his heart.

He felt that he would never see such a pure and bright childish smile again in the future, and the future company commander must be an iron-blooded officer with blood on his hands.He shook the video crystal on his chest, let his subordinates cherish this beautiful memory.

"I accept your surrender."

Vega looked at the 400-strong Royal Army and said: "According to the Imperial Covenant, I will keep your lives, but I will confiscate your weapons and deprive you of your freedom. If your motherland does not pay the ransom within the stipulated time, we will have the right to Do you have any opinion on your execution?"

"We accept them all."

All the kingdom's army breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, the kingdom had to pay the ransom because of the righteousness of the country. Although they would inevitably be treated differently when they returned to the country, their lives were finally saved.

"very good."

Vega said loudly: "Adjutant, I will leave the aftermath to you. In order to prevent other invading troops, I will complete the remaining daily patrol tasks alone. Remember my order just now."

"Yes, Captain."

The adjutant quickly responded: "Do you need to assign some people to continue the daily patrol mission with you?"

"unnecessary."

Veigar directly denied: "The work of escorting the prisoners is already understaffed, and I am a professional, even if I encounter danger, my life will not be in danger. Leave the rest of the work to me alone."

"The officer understands."

The adjutant watched Veigar's figure disappear from sight, and then began to arrange for the soldiers to collect weapons, take prisoners, and restrict freedom. After all the preparations were completed, he began to issue orders.

"All have."

As the temporary commander, the adjutant said: "Now we are taking the captives back to the watchtower, let the captives of the Royal Army go ahead, and keep a distance of 300 meters to prevent the captives from rioting, and the crossbowmen are on alert at all times."

"Yes."

Everyone obeyed the order and began to escort the prisoners back to the watchtower.

They always kept a distance of 300 meters.

It takes more than 15 minutes to get to the sentry tower. Due to the need to escort the prisoners, I am afraid that the time will be extended by about 10 minutes, which adds up to about half an hour.

The sentry tower is built on a high place, and there are many hills and mountains here. The way back needs to go along the foot of the mountain.

When it reached 1/3, the Kingdom Army began to whisper.

"Barus, can what you say really work?"

"The imperial army is 300 meters away from us. We are only bound by our hands but not our feet, and the opponent's professionals have already left. At this time, we will disperse and the imperial army will never catch up."

A thin senior soldier said to a soldier with the rank of sergeant: "Sir, you are the highest-ranking officer now, please don't hesitate any longer, we don't have much time left, do you really want to become a prisoner?" ?"

Do you want to be a captive?
Hearing these last words, the sergeant of the Royal Army gritted his teeth.

He suddenly pushed aside the crowd and climbed up and shouted: "It is better to be broken than to be whole. We are not prisoners, and we have not been defeated! Warriors, please regain your glory. I command you as a sergeant officer. Now the whole army retreats. Let the arrogant Imperial army bastards regret it."

wow.

The Kingdom Army seemed to have found its backbone, and they began to follow the sergeant and flee forward.

Since the two armies were 300 meters apart, the Royal Army, facing the threat of death, broke out at a speed beyond the reach of the Imperial Army. Only a few of them died under the arrows of the crossbowmen, but most of them had disappeared from the sight of the Imperial Army. .

"Lieutenant, how far is it?"

The sergeant glanced behind him nervously, and when he realized that the imperial army couldn't catch up with them for a while, he quickly asked the private soldier beside him, Barus.

Private First Class Barus replied out of breath, "Sir, I'm fairly familiar with this area. Let's go through the foot of the mountain and then turn eastward. We only need to walk another 7 hours to return to the kingdom's watchtower."

"Hahaha."

The joy of regaining a new life made the sergeant laugh heartily: "Okay, okay, the imperial army is probably already regretting their guts, and they are so arrogant to keep a distance of 300 meters from us. Are they underestimating the speed of our escape? ?”

"Sir, you are wrong."

Barus said with a smile: "We didn't escape, nor were we captured. We just had to make a strategic decision to retreat based on the current situation."

"Secretary, well said."

The sergeant nodded in satisfaction and led the troops forward.

at the same time.

Veigar standing on the top of the mountain put down the telescope in his hand.
