Chapter 413: The Return of Esdeath

Chapter 413: Esdeath Returns
Najeshitan bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity."

After allocating the assets of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters to purchase game invitations for all members of the Night Raid, they continued to hunt contaminated monsters in the Reincarnation Game for the next few days.

"Speed ​​Gem?"

A white gem fell into Chi Tong's hand. Looking at the game prompts, her cold eyes shook slightly.

After this gem is embedded in the equipment, it can increase the movement speed.

[The Demon Sword Murasame] contains a cursed poison that can kill with one strike.

There is no need for a strong physique like Brand. Chi Tong has always pursued ultimate agility and speed.

hum.

The gem was inlaid on a pair of green leggings, emitting a faint white halo.

Brand felt sorry and said, "Red Eye, gems are rare. It would be better to embed them in high-level equipment, right?"

The night raiders are all combat members, and they hunt polluted monsters very quickly, so it doesn’t take too long for them to reach Lv. 19.

These low-level equipment will soon be eliminated.

"After inlaying, it can better hunt pollution."

Chi Tong didn't explain much, this is the difference in their personalities,

She was trained as a killer by the empire since she was young. She had no idea of ​​preserving her strength. She treated every day as her last and trained and fought to survive.

"News from the Imperial Capital: Esdeath seems to have been missing for several days."

Brand carefully put away the experience group that opened in the treasure chest and said, "Najesita has led people to raid two important towns in the imperial capital. The message sent back is that we must assassinate those evil officials."

"clear."

Akagi responded briefly.
During the past two days, Night Raid not only hunts polluted monsters, but also uses the newly acquired extraordinary powers to assassinate high-ranking officials in the imperial capital while taking advantage of the death cooldown period.

As a result, everyone in the imperial capital's top leadership felt insecure.

Obviously, the interference of the mysterious businessman caused the plan to break into the imperial capital to be implemented ahead of schedule.

……

Imperial capital, royal palace.

The high-ranking officials of the imperial capital stood quietly on both sides with their heads down.

Ernest, the obese imperial minister with a big belly, sat under the throne with a gloomy face.

On the throne was the curious little emperor, playing with the scepter in his hand.

"See the Emperor."

Esdeath slowly walked into the palace and knelt on one knee in front of the little emperor.

Before the little emperor could speak, Minister Ernest spoke up, with a hint of rebuke, and said, "General Esdeath, the battle report said that you had eliminated the foreign tribes on the border, but you suddenly disappeared."

"During the few days since you disappeared, a night raid was launched to assassinate officials in the imperial capital. The revolutionary army took advantage of the imperial capital's weakness and broke through two important cities in the empire. Do you admit your guilt?!"

If he hadn't been protected by the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, he wouldn't have been able to sleep well during such a large-scale night attack.

Esdeath, dressed in military uniform, stood up and said slowly, "Minister Ernest, according to the original plan, we were going to deal with the northern aliens within half a year, right?"

"And I only need three days, so it's normal even if I return to the imperial capital later."

She raised her eyes, her icy blue pupils staring straight at Minister Ernest, as if she were looking at some noisy prey, and continued, "The guards of the imperial capital have never been me, but General Budd's guards, right?"

"You actually..."

Minister Ernest was so frightened by her look that he stepped back repeatedly, bumped into the steps, and staggered to the ground.

The four Rakshasa ghosts hiding in the dark quickly jumped out and protected the imperial minister.

They dared to lurk armed guards in the palace.

This kind of cross-border behavior,
The officials in the imperial capital saw it all, but no one said anything.

After all, everyone knows that the person who actually holds power in the imperial capital is the fat minister, not the confused and ignorant little emperor.

Minister Ernest wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile, saying, "I don't mean to blame General Esdeath. I'm just saying that if you come back earlier, perhaps the empire's losses will be reduced."

what happened?

In the past, no matter how victorious Esdeath was, he would always suppress the opponent in this way.

And Esdeath didn't mind at all. She was accused and slandered, and her rewards were exploited. She was like a cold war machine, with fighting on her mind.

Esdeath shook her head and said, "This kind of thing has nothing to do with me."

"That's right, Minister Ernest."

The emperor agreed with this and waved his golden scepter, nodding and saying, "Isn't it General Bud's job to protect the imperial capital?"

Hearing him say this, General Budd, who had been silent all this time, stood up, knelt on one knee, and admitted his mistake: "It was my negligence. I have already sent the Royal Guards to strengthen the defense of the Imperial Capital and will not let any assassin go."

idiot!

Minister Ernest cursed secretly,

Although the young emperor is easy to control, he has no brains. What he wants to do is to weaken Esdeath's popularity, but he is afraid that he will not be able to continue this time.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to bow slightly and wait for the emperor's follow-up.

The emperor sat on the throne, swinging his feet that couldn't even touch the floor, and asked curiously, "Esdeath is the youngest general in the imperial capital who defeated the northern barbarians. Is there anything you need?"

"Gold, manors, slaves, titles...anything is fine!"

"Gold and estates."

Esdeath answered without hesitation.

This time, the officials in the imperial capital and Minister Ernest were all shocked.

Esdeath has never been interested in any treasure, but now she is taking the initiative to ask for treasure?
Could it be that a battle with a foreign race in the North gave Esdeath some enlightenment?
"Okay, then I will grant General Esdeath the most luxurious aristocratic manor and ten thousand taels of gold!"

The emperor didn't feel sorry at all, or he had no concept of assets at all.

Hearing this, even the powerful Minister Ernest felt a little pain.

"Thank you, Emperor."

Esdeath raised the corner of her mouth and saluted respectfully.

The moment the emperor mentioned the reward, she exchanged all the manors and gold. The luxurious manor in the most prosperous area of ​​the imperial capital received 150,000 reward points, and the gold received 40,000 reward points.

In any other world, even the assets of the imperial capital would not be so expensive.

But in the world of Teigu,
The corrupt emperor and his ministers swallowed up the entire world's assets in the imperial capital, resulting in slaves and starving people everywhere. All the resources were swallowed up by the imperial capital.

A luxurious manor alone is worth half a town.

The emperor was obviously in a good mood and continued to ask, "General Esdeath has never accepted my reward before. Do you need anything else this time?"

Minister Ernest's eyes twitched, but he couldn't just cover the emperor's mouth in public.

Esdeath blushed slightly and said, "If possible, I would like to have a romantic relationship."

silence.

The ministers, who were originally nervous about Esdeath's big words, were stunned for a moment.

A bloodthirsty war machine actually wants to fall in love?
Sure enough, even a crazy beast will desire the opposite sex when he gets older.

The minister breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor pointed to the bloated minister beside him and asked, "How is the minister?"

"Minister, this does not meet my requirements for love."

Esdeath took out the list she had prepared long ago and handed it to the little emperor.

After reading it, the little emperor said in embarrassment: "Is that so? Why don't we hold a big competition to find a suitable love partner for you?"

Esdeath nodded slightly and thanked him, "Thank you, Emperor."

The minister rushed to speak and said, "Emperor, leave this matter to me. I will definitely be able to fulfill General Esdeath's request."

He didn't want all the elites selected from the competition to be recruited by Esdeath.

We must find a way to get rid of them. The minister pretended to suddenly remember something and said, "It just so happens that I need to meet with wealthy people and businessmen who are willing to be loyal to the empire. I will trouble General Esdeath to help review them."

A list of wealthy people and businessmen who were invited to meet the emperor was handed to Esdeath.

Esdeath glanced at it and shook her head, saying, "I don't care about this kind of thing..."

The words stopped suddenly,

Esdeath changed her tone and said, "Leave this matter to me."

The minister smiled triumphantly, and hurriedly left the palace and began to replace the soldiers under Esdeath with people loyal to him.

"So complicated."

It was obviously not the first time that the emperor met with wealthy people and businessmen, and he shook his head in boredom.

But this was the minister's order, so he had to obey.

"Let them in!"

The emperor leaned back on the throne and waved his hand, signaling the guards to bring up all the audience.
