Mage Veigar

Chapter 38 Trigger

bang bang bang...

The brilliant fireworks illuminated Kareni, and the whole city seemed to have begun a harvest celebration.

To ordinary civilians, this might be a way for the nobles to liven up the party, but in the eyes of countless United Kingdom spies in Kareni, these fireworks that continue to appear are a sign of death.

City-wide warning.

Just like the beacon towers on the border, once the signal smoke is raised in one place, the signal smoke will also be raised at the adjacent place at the same time, and then the signal will spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to tens of millions, ultimately achieving the effect of early warning.

The same goes for fireworks warnings.

When fireworks are lit at the contact point in the slum, the adjacent contact points will also release fireworks instantly, and then spread layer by layer, letting all the spy contact points understand that the entire Kareni spy system is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Boom boom boom.

Kaleni seemed to be in a carnival. Houses, restaurants, abandoned houses... suddenly caught fire. This was because the spy contact points that had not yet been cleansed had no time to transfer the intelligence and directly destroyed it by burning.

At this moment, everyone in the regiment turned pale.

It is just getting dark now, and there are still 23 and a half hours until 59:4. According to incomplete statistics, 2/3 of the contact points have not been cleared, but once this signal is sent, their surprise attack plan will become ineffective.

What is the Great Purge and what is left without a single one.

The regiment headquarters was afraid that there would be someone slipping through the net at the contact point and secretly informing other contact points, so they finally issued this extremely cruel order to kill the wrong person rather than let him go.

But now the command has no effect.

Contact points have begun to catch fire, and the intelligence has long been burned. This major mistake will completely fall on their heads. Now, let alone promotion and wealth, even the ability to keep their military status has become a problem.

"Check! Check it for me!"

The head of the regiment, Gunther Burton, glared with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Who on earth was responsible for the contact point that caused the error? Before the military executes me, I must send him to the gallows first!"

At this time, Adjutant Charles also arrived here.

He stood at attention and saluted, panting. "Reporting to the regiment commander, something terrible has happened. A major general is trying to stop Captain Vega from carrying out his cleansing mission. Captain Vega is determined to carry out his orders and will not retreat. The two sides are at a stalemate. The major general wants you to come forward and explain in person."

"Major General?"

There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the regiment commander and the chief of staff, but they were not very afraid. As long as they explained the mission clearly, no one would stop him. After all, everyone was doing it for the future of the empire.

At the same time, the two of them also admired Vega's performance.

Even when meeting a general, he would resolutely follow their orders. This alone was enough to win the favor of the two. Who doesn't like subordinates who are loyal to them? Vega's performance was enough to be a role model for soldiers and a model for officers.

"Sergeant, lead the way."

Captain Gunther temporarily put aside his annoyance about the failed mission. He planned to go and meet this major general who suddenly appeared. Although it could only be said to be a guess, his sixth sense told him that the failure of this combat mission was directly related to this major general.

If it was really the Major General's fault...

at the same time.

Kareni Government, inside the General Law Enforcement Directorate General Office.

A middle-aged man in law enforcement uniform stood by the French window, staring blankly at the fireworks rising into the sky.

He is Bruno Valen, the director of the Kareni Law Enforcement Bureau. He has more than 1 law enforcement team members under his command. The Law Enforcement Bureau is also the largest armed force in Kareni besides the army. They work for the Kareni government system. "I didn't expect the army to start a purge of Kareni at this time."

Looking at the fireworks rising into the sky outside the window, Bruno muttered to himself, "Or maybe the army has already noticed the kingdom's plan. If the situation is really this serious, then it seems that we won't be able to wait until early spring."

Walk to your desk.

Bruno Valencia picked up his pen and began to write a letter.

After the letter was written and put into the envelope, he stood up again with a glass of red wine, walked to the French window, was silent for a while and said: "Nightingale, send this letter to the headquarters of the Kingdom Army of Jiasili City overnight."

The words fell.

The letter written on the desk suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared from the beginning to the end. There was no one in the entire office except Bruno Valen. Only the gauze curtains on the balcony moved with the breeze.

He took a sip of red wine.

Bruno Valen smiled and said, "It's time to teach the arrogant imperial military a lesson. Perhaps before the arrival of early spring, the kingdom's golden lion flag will already be flying over the walls of Kareni."

Bruno is the head of the Kareni spy system.

He did not regret becoming a spy for the United Kingdom.

Even though he had an armed force of more than 10,000 people, he was blocked at every turn by the Third Army Headquarters in the process of enforcing the law. The army's interference in internal affairs had already reached an intolerable point. He wanted to destroy the arrogant army headquarters and become the true master of the city of Kareni. This was his deal with the United Kingdom.

In addition to being the director of the Kaleni Law Enforcement Bureau, he is also an earl of the United Kingdom.

This was secretly conferred by the King of the United Kingdom himself. Once the Kingdom's army launches an attack on the Empire, he will completely side with the United Kingdom. At the same time, he will serve as an internal supporter for the United Kingdom's army at the critical moment, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, he will let the Imperial Army taste the taste of failure.

I'm afraid no one knows.

One of the most core members of the Kareni government system has completely thrown himself into the arms of the United Kingdom.

It was at this time.

The regiment commander and the chief of staff finally led their men to the contact point in the slums.

As soon as he entered the door, the regimental commander Gunther Burton recognized that the man with the rank of major general was the commander of the 5th Division of the Army Group, General Raglan. It happened that General Raglan and his division commander, Orcott Owen, were in a competitive relationship, and the two often quarreled fiercely over the competition for resources.

No matter what, the other party is a general after all.

Gunther Burton glanced at Vega, who was standing beside him with admiration, then stood at attention and saluted, "Your humble servant, Gunther Burton, commander of the 7rd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 3th Division, would like to say hello to His Excellency the General."

Gunther received no response.

At this time, Raglan was staring blankly at the fireworks rising into the sky. With his intelligence, he naturally understood that his momentary kindness seemed to have led to the failure of a certain mission. The most important thing was that the child who caused this situation successfully escaped because of his obstruction.

"Your Excellency General?"

Gunther Burton repeated his earlier words, finally awakening Raglan from his deep thoughts.

Raglan looked at Gunther Burton solemnly without further ado. He went straight to the point and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, without violating the Imperial regulations, please inform us of the information of this city-level top-secret mission."

"Yes, General."

The team leader concealed nothing and explained the purpose of the mission from the beginning.
