Mage Veigar

Chapter 51 Play hard to get
Play hard to get.

This is the solution that Vega came up with.

He deliberately let his subordinates keep a distance of 300 meters from the Kingdom Army, just to make the Kingdom Army have the illusion that I could escape.

No one likes to be a prisoner.

When a chance to escape was presented to them, how could the Kingdom Army give up such a good opportunity? Not to mention that they didn't know that Vega did it on purpose, even if they knew it was a trap, they would jump into it without hesitation.

Is it really possible to escape?
Of course it doesn't exist. The probability is less than one in ten thousand.

Vega stood on the top of the mountain. He put down the telescope in his hand and smiled even more brilliantly than before. If the adjutant Charles followed him, he would definitely sigh that the company commander could smile even more 'cutely'.

This smile is destined to be appreciated by no one.

Perhaps the only one who is lucky enough to witness this angelic and gentle smile is this white snow-capped mountain.

Vega moved while laughing.

He clenched his right fist, poured magic power into it, and then punched the ground hard.

boom.

A huge roar echoed between heaven and earth.

The loud noise directly caused the snow on the mountain to collapse due to gravity, and an avalanche swept across the foot of the mountain, roaring towards the foot of the mountain like a mountain falling on top of it. The terrifying power would change even the faces of professionals in an instant.

This is Vega's plan.

Today is the first sunny day after the heavy snow. The snow is already quite soft under the sunlight. At this time, just the slightest movement is enough to cause the soft snow to collapse and trigger a huge wet avalanche.

What is a wet avalanche?
A wet avalanche occurs in winter or spring when the temperature continues to rise rapidly after a snowfall, making it impossible for the new wet snow layer to easily adhere to the original ice and snow with a lower density, so it slides downward and forms an avalanche.

Wet avalanches are known as the most dangerous avalanches.

Because wet avalanches are blocky, slow, heavy, and dense, they appear on the snow slope like ink stains, growing larger and larger, and even picking up trees and rocks along the way, creating larger snow gravels.

the most important is.

Once a wet avalanche stops, it will solidify immediately, making it almost impossible for people buried underneath to survive.

Imagine.

If the Kingdom's army at the bottom of the mountain encountered such an avalanche...

----

Boom boom boom.

The huge roar seemed to shake even the clouds in the sky apart.

The Kingdom Army who happened to be passing by the foot of the mountain noticed the huge roar. They stopped and looked around curiously, trying to find the source of the sound.

"What is this sound?"

The leading sergeant stopped and his heart was lifted up again.

Although there were no pursuers behind him and no interceptors in front of him, he still had a bad feeling.

1 second... 2 seconds... 3 seconds...

As time went by, the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. The sergeant's face turned pale and he seemed to have a premonition that his life was about to come to an end. While everyone was looking around, he raised his head with difficulty.

"Run, run quickly!!!"

The exclamation was almost a shout. The sergeant felt that he had never been so hysterical in his life. After shouting, he ran forward with all his might, trying to avoid the avalanche.

He is undoubtedly doing the right thing.

Because when an avalanche comes, you must not run down in the direction of the avalanche. What you must do is run sideways. Even if it seems that there is not enough time, there is always a glimmer of hope.

At the roar of the sergeant.

The kingdom’s army finally realized something was wrong, but when they looked up, the avalanche was already approaching. Even if they wanted to escape, it was too late. Their lives were about to end here.

"May the gods bless us." One by one, the soldiers of the Kingdom Army gave up their futile struggles, knelt on the ground and made prayer gestures.

Even God will not save those who have given up hope.

This overwhelming avalanche eventually engulfed the entire kingdom's army.

boom.

The last remnant sound echoed, and the avalanche that engulfed everything finally came to an end.

400 members of the Royal Army... 1 survived.

The sergeant climbed out of the snow with difficulty, his whole body shaking. If it weren't for his sixth sense giving him early warning and discovering the avalanche at the first moment, he would have probably gone to hell with his teammates.

"Why did the avalanche happen at this exact moment?"

After escaping death, the Sergeant's brain circuit became unusually clear: "Could it be..."

Although it is only speculation, doubts such as why the Imperial Army kept a distance of 300 meters from them prove that this avalanche does not seem to be a coincidence, but a premeditated man-made event.

So think carefully, who gave this order.

The sergeant recalled the young officer who regarded life as worthless. At that time, he did see the terrible murderous intent in the eyes of the young officer, as well as a hint of an angelic devilish grin.

If all this was planned by the young officer...

Would he then have counted any survivors?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately stood up and ran forward without even having time to clean the snow off his body.

But it was too late.

call out--

An arrow whizzed past and finally pierced his heart.

The Imperial Army came from behind and just avoided the avalanche, but they discovered the Sergeant, the only survivor of the Royal Army, in time and offered him an arrow in a friendly manner.

The sergeant was dead.

But Adjutant Charles' face turned pale.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was just bad luck for the Kingdom Army, who finally escaped but were hit by an avalanche, but Adjutant Charles keenly realized that this was Vega's plan.

Why do we have to keep a distance of 300 meters?

I'm afraid that commander deliberately let the Kingdom's army escape, and then personally caused this avalanche, which not only wiped out the Kingdom's army, but also left his subordinates without any harm.

What's even more terrifying is that the commander even counted the survivors of the Kingdom Army after the avalanche.

Charles began to sincerely feel fortunate that he was not his commander's enemy.

Even so, he immediately wiped out Vega's brilliant smile from the recording crystal, because that was not the grace of an angel at all, but the hideous smile of a devil. This horrible smile was enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.

the other side.

Vega smiled brightly again.

Since he caused the avalanche himself, all the kills were counted on him. The deaths of more than 390 lives brought him a lot of magic power, and his magic power limit was also increased.

Vega finally advanced.

Level 4 apprentice professional, this is his current level.

But the joy of upgrading did not last long, and his smile froze.

Because the moment he turned around and wanted to go back to the watchtower, he found that there was another person on the flat top of the mountain.

He was wearing a black cape and holding a strange cane.
