Chapter 398: Defected from the Empire and was stopped by Esdeath!
Seeing the unwilling Liva and Daidas, Esdeath directly shouted out to scare them away, and had the unconscious Niu taken away, admitting defeat quite simply.
Esdeath could see quite clearly that the reason for Niu's defeat was not only that his Teigu did not work against Wood, but that Wood himself was also a very strong warrior.
Among the three beast warriors, Leva may be much stronger than Niu, but if he really fights Wood, Esdeath feels that his chances of winning are definitely not good.
Don't forget that Wood who defeated Niu was also a Teigu user, but he was able to defeat Niu without using the Teigu.
Even Esdeath is not sure how strong he would be if he used the Imperial Gear, but it would definitely be much stronger than it is now.
Besides, Esdeath is not a person who cannot afford to lose. Since we have a promise, if the bet turns into a round-robin battle after losing the bet, this would be a truly embarrassing act.
"I didn't expect you to be one of the "Three Beast Warriors" under Esdeath's command, which really surprised me.
But don't act so impulsively next time. This time, you were just lucky, you were in a good mood when you met Esdeath, and she seemed to be interested in you, otherwise you might have died in her hands.
Don't doubt what I said. Esdeath is not as gentle and easy to talk to as you think, and her strength is definitely beyond your imagination. She is not on the same level as the Three Beastmen.
So before you have absolute strength, don’t try to challenge Esdeath, because that will only lead to your own destruction!”
Although Wood won the fight, Najexitan got a violent shudder in his head. In Nadezhitan's view, Wood's move just now was too impulsive.
But being angry, Najiexitan's eyes looking at Wood were quite gratifying.
Both Wood and Lubbock are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys now. When Najexitan looks at them, she looks more like her own juniors.
The brutal behavior of Esdeath and the Three Beastmen against the aliens made Najexitan see the darkness and cruelty of the empire, but she also saw hope in Wood.
At least not all people in the empire are so hopeless. There are also those who stick to their own justice and will stand up at some point.
The hundreds of foreign women and children who had won a bet with Esdeath were finally let go by Wood.
Wood and the others can only do so much, and others are not so lucky.
Esdeath and the Three Beastmen did not choose to give the remaining aliens a more humane way of death because of this episode, but continued to go their own way with all kinds of brutal killings.
Finally, Najehitan couldn't bear it anymore. When night fell, she secretly killed the guards guarding them and let these poor foreign women and children go.
As far as the laws of the empire are concerned, Najexitan's behavior is actually no different from treason.
In fact, this was Najiexitan’s final decision after careful consideration.
Esdeath and her three beast warriors massacred foreign people and their armies with bloodthirsty atrocities, which made Najexitan intolerable. Feeling that the empire had begun to invade and darken her, she decided to use her own
way to save this country.
Najexitan has decided that after betraying the empire, she will join the "Rebel Army", which is currently the only force that can fight against the empire.
And just when Najiexitan released a large number of foreign women and children, and was about to leave secretly on horseback, and headed to the headquarters of the rebel army, two figures appeared in the moonlight, and they seemed to have been waiting at the stable for a long time.
"Boss, if you are going to let those foreign women and children go, why don't you kill all the guys who are guarding them?
You know, no matter how careful you are, the movement of so many alien races escaping will not be small, but you don’t have to worry, because we have already solved it for you."
Naturally, Najiexitan knew the two figures waiting under the stable.
If it were her before, she probably wouldn't have been too impressed by these two people, but after what happened before, Najiexitan was deeply impressed by her two guards.
"Lubbock, Wood, why are you two here?" Looking at the two teenagers in front of her, Najexitan looked a little surprised. Before she acted, she clearly didn't tell anyone, and she also chose
I was operating late at night, but I didn't expect that someone would still find me.
Najexitan concealed herself really well. During the day, she was even discussing the return with her friend and colleague Esdeath, and she didn't show any intention of betraying her.
But the key point is that she has a loyal licking dog by her side... Others may not be able to see anything unusual about Najexitan, but Lubbock observed it quite clearly, which is why the scene in front of him happened.
"Go back, you should already understand what I want to do.
With your status as a Teigu envoy and your considerable strength, you will be able to be reused sooner or later if you stay in the empire."
When Wood and Lubbock appeared here, Najexitan didn't think they were here to stop her, otherwise Lubbock wouldn't have said that he had handled the finishing work she had neglected.
Instead of coming to stop him, then the only possibility is that he is coming to follow him, but this is not what Najiexitan wants to see.
Wood and Lubbock are only a few years old now. Anyway, they are definitely under fifteen years old. In terms of age, they are only half-grown teenagers.
Joining the rebel army to fight against the empire is no joke. Even though the empire has begun to decay and become dark, a thousand years of historical precipitation have still made this kingdom very powerful.
In comparison, the rebel army has only been established not long ago. Not only is its strength limited, but its combat power is also quite insufficient. Facing a behemoth like the Empire, it will be easily crushed into powder.
In Najexitan's view, both Wood and Lubbock were young people with good potential and talents. They would have their day in the empire sooner or later, so there was no need to follow her and join the deadly rebel army.
"Anyway, I have decided long ago. If you join the rebel army, leader, then I will also join you in ruling out the empire.
I used the "Cross Tail" to kill the guards who were guarding me before, and the traces are quite obvious. If things are exposed tomorrow, I will be found out sooner or later, so I have no way to turn back."
As Lubbock spoke, he pulled out a steel wire from the wheel set on his arm. It was still dripping with blood, as if to express his position.
"The ever-changing tail of the cross", this is the linear Teigu possessed by Lubbock.
Its silk thread is made from the body hair of a super dangerous species (dragon) that is said to live in the clouds in the East China Sea. It is not only strong, but also extremely sharp.
It can be opened as a trap or to detect enemies, and it also has the ability to restrain and cut off. Just like its nickname, it is ever-changing.
The wounds caused by the Cross Tail are very special, so as Lubbock said, once the investigation begins, he will not be able to escape while still in the army.
In fact, at Lubbock's level, he could make things watertight, but it seemed that he had long expected that Najiexitan would refuse to follow him, so he deliberately left a lot of loopholes so that Najiexitan could not refuse.
he.
"What about Wood? He must have been forced here by you. With his strength and Esdeath's appreciation, it is almost a matter of time before he becomes a general of the empire.
There is obviously a bright future, so there is no need to follow my path to the dark side. Joining the rebel army is to become an enemy of the empire, and the power of the empire..."
Before Najexitan could say anything, Wood, who was leaning against the pillar of the stable, took over and said, "It's because the empire is far stronger than the rebels, that's why I want to join the rebels.
It's a simple truth. The strong guys are all on the empire's side. If I'm on the empire's side, how should I fight those guys?
If you want to compete with them, you have to become their enemy, so I think I should join the rebel army."
After hearing what Wood said, Najexitan was speechless for a moment. It was not that she had never seen a fighting maniac, but she had never seen a pure fighting maniac like Wood.
But in fact, Wood would join the rebel army, partly to maintain his own profile, and partly because of Lubbock's request.
The two of them were childhood friends and had a good relationship since childhood. Once Lubbock followed Najexitan to join the rebel army and Wood stayed in the empire, one day they would meet each other in arms.
Lubbock did not want one of his few friends to become enemies, and as he was familiar with Wood, he did not want Wood to become one of their most difficult enemies in the future, so it took him several days to finally convince Wood.
Lubbock's reasons for persuading Wood were similar to what Wood himself said just now. However, what really made Wood decide to join the rebel army was his intuition that told him that the rebel army in this world would ultimately be the victor.
Seeing that Wood and Lubbock had already come to their senses, and as Teigu users, they had precious combat power, so Najiexitan finally did not stop them, and the three of them rode fast horses overnight.
Left the military camp.
According to the original plan, the three men riding fast horses were supposed to resist the rebel headquarters in three days.
But on the second day, Wood and the others were blocked by an unexpected but expected person.
The opponent was wearing a white military uniform, with two straight long legs exposed to the air, attracting endless imagination. He also wore a saber around his waist. He stopped in front of Wood and the others. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
generally.
"Najexitan, I didn't expect that you would behave like this.
But making such a decision should also make you feel confused. You have a passionate heart but have always been calm. Have you forgotten that there are dangerous species in the military that can carry people? Ordinary horses can run
It doesn’t get up as fast as it does.”
The only obstacle that appeared in front of Wood and the others was Esdeath, but Najexitan and the others felt great pressure at this moment.
In just a moment, Esdeath's figure disappeared in front of the three people after she finished speaking. When Najiexitan sensed the danger, two long knives had already collided very close to her.
, and splashed out a large number of sparks.
Esdeath, who disappeared in front of several people, appeared in front of Najexitan at some point, and the saber in his hand had already struck Najexitan.
Najexitan was convinced that in the situation just now, even if she reacted at the last moment and avoided the fate of death, losing an arm would be the best result.
She had known that Najiexitan was very strong before, but she never thought that he would be so strong!
Esdeath didn't use the power of the Teigu just now, she just relied on her own physical strength to move, and the speed was already too fast for her and Lubbock beside her to react.
Najesitan's Teigu is "Romantic Turret Pumpkin", which is a gun-type Teigu with the ability to shoot a powerful beam of light.
Moreover, this imperial weapon is very special and difficult to use. The more dangerous the user is, the more powerful the Romantic Turret Pumpkin will be.
But in the situation just now, although Najiexitan felt the crisis, the Teigu Romantic Turret Pumpkin she controlled was originally the most powerful, but Esdeath's speed was so fast that there was no way to
The time she used the Teigu.
The two long knives were in a stalemate in the air for a long time. In the end, Wood's body was knocked away by Esdeath and flew upside down. His feet even slid on the ground for an extremely long distance before finally buffering.
.
Feeling that his hand holding the knife was numb, when Wood raised his head and looked at Esdeath again, he couldn't help but said with a look of determination on his face: "What I felt before was indeed correct, you are a real strongman.
By."
If it were a body in the world of pirates, Wood would not lose in a physical strength competition, but now he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Esdeath's Teigu is quite special, and he is also a warrior nation on the northern border. In a physical competition,
Under the circumstances, it is normal that Wood is not an opponent.
"What I felt before was correct. You are indeed quite special. When I was your age, I might not be as strong as you.
Well, what I said before is still valid now. As long as you are willing to serve under me, I can let this matter go."
Esdeath was also quite surprised that Wood was able to take the sword strike he just received. From this point alone, it can be seen that Wood is stronger than the general Najexitan!
"I'm sorry, but I still have to reject General Esdeath's kindness, because if I continue to stay in the empire, I won't be able to compete with a strong man like General Esdeath like I am now!"
Wood showed no concern for Esdeath's solicitation, then he clenched the long knife in his hand and rushed towards Esdeath again!
