When everyone sees the scene in front of them, their first reaction is to doubt themselves.
Arrogance will never arise when you are bathed in such a high-pressure aura.
A feeling of admiration for strength suddenly arises.
This is the instinct of living beings, whether they like to use force to solve problems or they look down on warriors from the bottom of their hearts.
Heaton is envious of such strength!
Just like a minister who is greedy for power will also practice martial arts, this is the pinnacle of power in the world.
"bite!"
The swords clashed, and the fighting situation in the field was completely crushed after Esdeath pulled out the rapier.
"I thought I could solve the battle without a sword!"
Esdeath's rapier was only one centimeter away from Nadjeta's neck, and there was no joy of victory on her face.
Nadjeta's face was ashen, her clothes were full of wrinkles, and she was breathing heavily.
There was no trace of defeat on her face.
Esdeath on the opposite side looked relaxed, but it was not easy for Nadjeta, who was experiencing the horror between life and death every minute.
Although Esdeath never wanted to kill herself, the almost viscous murderous aura that always surrounded her was stimulating Nadjeta's nerves.
"I lost!"
Nadjeta admitted defeat. When Esdeath had to draw her sword and attack, she had completely lost the chance to dodge.
Fortunately, this was just a competition, and Esdeath's full strength was not fully utilized, which was why he allowed himself to fight with her for such a long time.
"Bah bang bang."
Heaton was the first to stand up and applaud, which was a congratulation to the winner.
A duel only lasts for about ten minutes, but it can actually be called a long competition. Generally, the outcome is often decided in a matter of seconds. This is for people of equal skill.
"It's still early and the banquet can still be held as scheduled. What do the two generals think?"
Heaton had already discussed it with the minister and asked polite questions.
"Your Majesty, I just finished the competition, and I'm disheveled. I didn't even prepare clothes for the dinner, so I hope I can go back and tidy up first."
Nadjeta saluted respectfully, holding her sword in her hand, breathing unevenly.
"This... I was thinking of asking the minister to take General Esdeath and General Nadjeta to select the imperial equipment first. Look, minister..."
"Rewards should indeed be distributed. What do you think, General Esdeath? You have won this competition. How about I take you to select the Teigu first?"
"random."
Esdeath was as aloof as ever. Today's competition didn't consume much of her energy, and it didn't affect anything she did.
"Okay, that's it. General Nadjeta will go back to her residence first. It's really not appropriate to attend the banquet. As for General Esdeath, let's go to the treasure house with the minister to choose the Imperial Equipment first. It's just right that we can attend the banquet together. As for the Imperial Equipment, it will be done in the future anyway.
There’s still time!”
Heaton's little head turned around and arranged everything.
...
Outside the palace.
Nadjeta took Joanna and galloped away on horseback.
Joanna couldn't ride a horse, so she hugged Nadjeta's waist tightly, looking a little depressed under the dark sky.
The invisible, clenched white knuckles indicated that Qiao Na's heart was not at ease.
No matter how smart she is, she won't wait until something big happens.
She couldn't help but think of what Heaton said yesterday.
Out of the palace!
I am not leaving the palace now, but why am I allowed to leave the palace?
Where is sister Yolanda?
"Jona, you should follow General Nadjeta. It just so happens that General Nadjeta doesn't know the way to the banquet hall."
Are you just leading the way? It seems that you don’t need to do such a thing, anyone can do it!
"General Nadjeta!"
A low and magnetic male voice sounded, and Qiao Na came back to her senses.
The horse had stopped for a long time without knowing why, and now it was stretching out into an open field.
Still in the inner city!
Qiao Na actually didn't know how big the Imperial City was. In her impression, the Imperial City was very big.
But the journey just a short while after leaving the palace was definitely still in the inner city.
"Count the number of people, check the equipment, and the Western Army will follow me into the palace.
The assassination force is ready to support you and we will do our best!"
There were many people on the venue, and because there was no light, Qiao Na could only see the moving figures from the light and shadow in the distance.
"Your Excellency Qiaona, just wait here. I will come here to pick you up early tomorrow morning!"
Nadjeta stood on the ground, reaching out to Jonna on the horse, wanting to take the next step.
"General Nadjeta..." Joanna didn't know what to say.
"This is your Majesty's order. For the sake of the people of the empire and for the sake of this empire, let's go!"
Nadjeta seemed to be answering Qiao Na's order, and it seemed to be the last mobilization before taking action.
Although no one responded, the silent night suddenly became agitated. Hundreds of soldiers loaded their guns with live ammunition and set off thinking about the brightly lit King's Heights high above.
That's right, there are only a hundred men. This is already Nadjeta's entire force, the cronies she brought from the Western Army.
Lieutenant Reva, the user of the Teigu Super Power Spray [Balzac].
The mask-type Teigu can bring out 100% of the wearer's potential abilities.
In addition, its own strength is not weak. When the imperial gear is used, it is even stronger than Nadjeta without the imperial gear.
This is an abandoned mansion in the inner city. The house was ransacked some time ago. Because there are not many people nearby, Nadjeta chose it as a hiding place for Reva and the others.
The hundred-man team was led by Rewa and went out through the back door.
"Gozzi, you first assist Reva and the others in successfully attacking the King's Heights, and then quickly find Doral and kill him!"
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."
"I believe that the assassination force will not disappoint His Majesty."
After Nadjeta said that, she turned around and followed the attacking troops, while Gozzi, who was hiding in the dark, went to reveal himself.
"Your Majesty Qiaona, His Majesty has said that you should stay here. The palace is not safe tonight. If he doesn't send someone to pick you up tomorrow, just run away. Escape from the imperial capital and escape to a safe place."
After Gozici finished speaking, he ignored Qiao Na who was stunned on the spot, jumped up, jumped out, jumped again, stepped on the roof of the inner city, and quickly moved towards the King's Heights.
In the deserted field, in the darkness, Jonna was left alone with a horse that Nadjeta had just ridden over.
'Is this what His Majesty the Emperor wants me to do?'
Unprecedented loneliness and powerlessness suddenly flooded into my heart.
She seemed so useless that she was even sent out of the palace on purpose because she would become a burden.
She has been by Heaton's side since she was thirteen years old, never having a day off.
When she was just sent to the palace, she complained, was bullied by others, and had other thoughts.
Coming from a wealthy family, she had never served anyone else before.
Until that day, Heaton touched her head and told her, helping her to vent her anger.
