Heitong and Will had a battle with "unknown persons" before. This matter was not a secret in the imperial capital. Unfortunately, when the supporting imperial soldiers arrived, there were only ruins and a ground covered with debris.
The corpses of the Imperial soldiers that Wood and the others killed.
As for the attacking party and the attacked party, Heitong and the others have all disappeared. Naturally, the people in the empire do not know that Heitong and the others have been successfully instigated to rebel.
"Two adults, what's the important thing for you to enter the palace? Without the presence of His Majesty and the ministers, we really can't let you in."
The guards guarding the palace gate naturally knew Heitong and Will. After all, the hunter organization had made a fuss before, and they naturally knew that the two people in front of them were the elites of the empire and were directly under the command of General Esdeath.
So my attitude is very polite right now.
Among the entire empire, General Esdeath and General Bude are the only exceptions that can directly enter the palace without notification. From this point, we can see how transcendent their status is.
As for the minister, that's even more impressive. The other party belongs to the party being interviewed, and basically the little emperor has the final say on who he wants to see.
Originally, by letting Chelsea disguise herself as Esdeath, they should be able to enter the palace more smoothly.
However, it is a pity that Esdeath is currently fighting fiercely with the revolutionary army. If he suddenly appeared in the imperial capital, he would undoubtedly join forces immediately.
"Then you go and report to the minister right away. We captured Wood, the strongest member of Night Raid, the guy he had been trying to get from Esdeath before but couldn't.
Because General Esdeath is not in the imperial capital now, we specially captured him this time and waited for the minister to deal with him."
After hearing what "Will" said, he took another look at Wood, who was wrapped in multiple chains, and found out that the other party was indeed a mob that had made a fuss some time ago and destroyed a large area of the streets in the imperial capital. The guards also trotted into the palace.
Report.
Not long after, the guards who had gone to report the matter ran back panting and said that the minister and His Majesty had agreed to receive them.
As a member of the imperial assassination force, Heitong entered the palace for the first time, and met the legendary minister and the emperor for the first time.
Although the former Black Boy was an elite of the empire, he was actually more like a sharp knife in the hands of the empire. He had no right to decide anything on his own and could only obey the mercy of others like a puppet.
But when he met the emperor of this empire this time, Hei Tongcai was shocked to find that the so-called emperor didn't seem to be much different from himself.
Although he is sitting on the throne, he is like a real puppet on a string, and at the other end of the string is a minister with a big belly and tearing fat in his hand.
The little emperor didn't say a word. He always looked up at the ministers' expressions and asked for their opinions. This kind of behavior was more like an obedient pet than an emperor.
It is not without reason that an empire that has stood for thousands of years would fall to this point in just a few years. With such an emperor, it is strange that this country is not cool.
"You are the remaining members of Esdeath's Hunters"?
How did you catch this guy? It is said that his strength should have reached a level comparable to General Esdeath, right?"
While tearing the greasy fat in his hands, the minister looked suspiciously at Heitong and others who were half kneeling on the ground.
Although the minister looks ugly, he is definitely not a fool, and is even extremely sinister and cruel.
Originally, he was also worried about fraud. If Hei Tong and the others were one of them and brought Wood to see him, he would never let them in.
But if Hei Tong, Lan and Will appeared together, this would dispel a lot of the minister's vigilance, because even if they were incited to rebel, the possibility of the three Hunters being incited to rebel at the same time was not high.
And he also knew that Heitong had been injected with the empire's drugs and had become extremely dependent on the drugs. There was no possibility of betraying the empire.
"Your Excellency, the minister, may not know that this member of the Night Raid named Wood was captured alive by us once before, and the imperial gear was also confiscated by us.
Without the Teigu, the Teigu user's strength was already reduced to ten percent. In addition, his sneak attack was detected by us in advance, so we were three against one and finally managed to take him down.
As for why he disappeared during this period, it was entirely because he wanted to escape when he saw something bad, and the three of us went to pursue him."
Chelsea's disguised "Will" told the whole story in a clear and logical manner, and could not find a single flaw in every aspect, which caused the minister to gradually begin to believe what he said.
"Since you captured this night raid member alive, why didn't you take him back for interrogation and bring him to see me?"
Although Chelsea's words were reasonable and well-founded, the minister was cautious by nature and couldn't help but ask doubtfully again.
"General Esdeath is not in the imperial capital now, and we don't know what to do with this person.
Moreover, we heard earlier that Your Excellency the Minister was very interested in this person, so we brought this person here, and we hope that Your Excellency the Minister can give us more support if there is an opportunity in the future."
Chelsea's acting skills were really on point. Even her flattering and philistine look at the end was so vivid that Wood, who had been secretly observing from behind, couldn't help but sigh that women are born to act.
After Chelsea's remarks, the minister completely dispelled his doubts, because he had seen too many people like "Will" and others in the past few years.
It is not difficult to see people who deliberately try to please him and climb up the ranks here, so he understands what "Will" and others are doing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Working under General Esdeath must be uncomfortable. After all, for such a dazzling existence, the people who stay around him will always be reduced to embellishments.
.
But you guys have done a great job this time, and I believe His Majesty will reward you more."
The minister was indeed very interested in Wood because he had a private collection of an imperial tool that could control people's hearts. He originally planned to use it on the little emperor, but who knew that the other party was easier to control than he thought, so he never used it.
When he heard that a member of the "Night Raid" had fought with Esdeath and was evenly matched, the minister became interested in this and became very interested in Wood.
Esdeath's strength is too strong. Even though he has no ambition to dominate, the minister really feels unsafe with such a chess piece that is beyond his control.
So after hearing about Wood's existence, the minister thought of using the Imperial Equipment in his collection to control Wood's people's hearts in order to check and balance Esdeath.
But it was a pity that when he asked Esdeath for help, the other party did not give him this face. This made the minister feel angry and strengthened his inner thoughts.
But before he could make his next move, the minister heard that the hunter's trash, the prey he had hoped for, had run away!
While denounced Hunter as a piece of trash, the minister could not help but feel a little regretful.
But what he never expected was that after all the twists and turns, the prey he was looking for was finally delivered to him in this way.
"Your Majesty, I think these members of the Hunters were able to persist in fighting and defeat the infamous night attack when General Esdeath was not in the imperial capital. They should be given some rewards."
After hearing what the minister said, the little emperor nodded blankly, then looked at the minister and asked slowly: "Then what does the minister think they should reward them with?"
If the minister says he wants to reward something, he will be rewarded. Even the minister has the final say on what to give, even though he has long heard that the minister has the power to rule the world in the empire.
But Heitong and Lan did not expect that the empire had been eroded to this extent. What is the difference between such an emperor and the dolls in the hands of ministers?
"Since they are all subordinates of General Esdeath, and they are all so brave and good at fighting, how about letting them serve as generals of the empire?"
"I see, what the minister said makes sense, then..."
The little emperor, who euphemistically called it listening to opinions, but in reality it was the ministers who had the final say, was about to reward Heitong and the others. However, at this time, "Will" who was half-kneeling, lowered his head and said: "It's very shameless.
Li interrupted His Majesty, but my subordinates relied on Your Excellency the Minister more than being an imperial general.
If possible, can I become a follower of Your Excellency the Minister and protect His Excellency the Minister’s safety at all times?”
Hearing what "Will" said, the little emperor was also stunned. Then he looked up at the minister again, and the latter looked at "Will" who lowered his head and showed an intriguing expression.
For small people like the Hunter members, the minister has never deliberately understood them.
However, what I have to say is that the guy named "Will" in front of him is a very eye-catching and greedy guy in the eyes of the minister.
First, he went behind Esdeath's back and dedicated the captured Wood Jin to himself to claim credit for himself. Now, he gave up the opportunity to become an empire general and only wanted to have a lackey by his side.
Smart people all know that the so-called "Imperial General" is just a matter of one's own words. It may seem glamorous, but in fact it is worse than a lackey beside oneself.
This young man named "Will" is obviously a smart man, and he is also greedy enough.
The minister does not hate greedy people, because he himself is such a person, and it is easier to control such people.
"If that's the case, then please ask your Majesty to reward him to me. I happen to be short of a bodyguard recently."
Naturally, the young emperor had no reason to refuse the minister's request, and he generously retained the reward for the "Will" empire general, but added another duty to protect the minister.
Since he was a guard, he naturally had to follow closely, so after "Will" bowed his head and thanked the reward, he naturally walked behind the minister.
General Bude, who was also sitting in the main hall, had a look of contempt for "Will"'s cowardly behavior.
He had also heard before that Will was from the empire's navy and was an excellent imperial soldier, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this.
In order to hug the minister's thigh, he even gave up his dignity as an emperor!
Without anyone noticing, the naughty "Will" naturally walked behind the minister, reached into his arms, and slowly pulled out three inches of cold light...
"Ding------!"
A crisp sound of gold and iron clashing echoed in the hall. Seeing that the tip of the dagger in her hand was actually blocked by the gem ring on the minister's finger, Chelsea also showed a look of astonishment on her face.
"So this is how you protect me? It's really touching."
After the sneak attack was blocked, Chelsea was naturally unwilling to give up. They had performed so many dramas before, just to get close to the minister and kill the worst guy first at the lowest cost.
When the attack failed, Chelsea naturally retracted the dagger and launched another fierce attack towards the minister's neck.
Chelsea's frontal combat ability is not strong, but that is for Teigu users such as Night Raid and Hunter. For ordinary people, Chelsea's skills are still remarkable.
And because she is proficient in assassination techniques, she also knows all the vital points of the human body, so she reacted quickly at this moment and launched a second attack on the minister's neck.
But what Wood and the others didn't expect was that the minister who had always been targeted for assassination and seemed to have a big belly was not a useless person who could only eat meat. The opponent had certain combat capabilities, and in terms of physical fighting ability,
Not weaker than Leonai.
It is conceivable that Chelsea's first sneak attack was unsuccessful, and the same was true for the second consecutive attack.
Before the blade of the dagger even touched the minister's neck, Chelsea's abdomen had been hit hard first, and her body was like a kite that was out of line. She flew directly backwards and was caught by Wood, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and avoided it.
He suffered secondary impact damage.
It was also because of this sudden attack that the entire hall fell into chaos, and four men and women of different sizes suddenly appeared around the minister.
"They are the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, the only masters in the Imperial Fist Temple!"
In order to collect information about Wild Hound, Lan also did some research on some powerful forces in the imperial capital, and the so-called "Emperor Fist Temple" was one of them.
The Imperial Fist Temple is a martial arts resort in the imperial capital. It is filled with many martial arts masters, and the so-called "Four Rakshasa Ghosts" are the only peerless masters in the Imperial Fist Temple.
Although they are not Teigu users, they have the ability to manipulate their bodies at will, and have the tyrannical power to defeat Teigu users with their bare hands. They are a group of monsters that can truly transcend human limitations!
The "Four Ghosts of Rakshasa" are the minister's personal executioners. Since Esdeath left the imperial capital, the minister asked the four of them to secretly protect him. Unexpectedly, this time they would actually come in handy.
