"General Esdeath, the suppression in the north is very beautiful. The greatest reward is that I have prepared ten thousand gold for you."
The little emperor spoke. These were originally very majestic words, but in the little emperor's mouth it changed. The slightly childlike voice had no sense of majesty, as if a primary school student was reading a text.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will reward the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy with the money. Now that I have returned, I will definitely annihilate the 'nightraid' that disturbs His Majesty's sleep."
When Esdeath talks to the little emperor, he calls himself me, and he is not a subordinate.
Su Xiao glanced at the ministers beside the little emperor, and then at Esdeath. Perhaps these two people were in charge of the empire.
"That will cause trouble for the general, but besides..."
The little emperor was talking, and Su Xiao's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"There are enemies."
Su Xiao looked at Esdeath.
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Kill!"
Su Xiao stood up and rushed towards the side hall on the side of the main hall.
"This is?"
The little emperor was stunned, and the ministers on the side also looked puzzled.
"This is my subordinate. He discovered that there are enemies in the palace, and he may be the thieves of the 'nightraid'."
Esdeath stopped squatting and stood up.
Two minutes later.
boom.
A corpse covered in blood was thrown out of the side hall, rolled around a few times and came to rest at Esdeath's feet.
Su Xiao's figure walked out of the side hall, with some blood stains on her body. She was holding a bloody Dragon Slaying Blade in her right hand, and a damaged firearm in her left hand.
This corpse was a contractor. Su Xiao had already sensed the other party, but he ignored it. It was normal for the Imperial Capital camp to have its own contractor.
But this guy pointed the gun at his head for more than ten seconds, clearly targeting Su Xiao.
With the gradually increasing sense of danger, Su Xiao was able to conclude that the opponent was using some kind of skill to accumulate energy and was preparing to kill him with one blow.
Su Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, so she jumped up decisively, rushed in front of this guy and killed him with two swords.
With Su Xiao's perception, aiming at him at close range is simply asking for death.
"That gun belongs to the assassin?"
Esdeath knew that Su Xiao didn't use a gun, at least she hadn't seen Su Xiao use one.
"Yes, I thought he was a palace guard just now, but his gun was locked on a certain position for too long, and he also pointed the gun at the emperor. This is not the behavior of a guard."
Esdeath pondered for a while.
"Your Highness, is this a guard from the palace?"
"this……"
The little emperor looked at his ministers as if asking for help. From this, we can see how much the little emperor relies on his ministers.
"Here comes someone."
The minister roared angrily, and several guards immediately rushed into the hall.
"Is this person a guard?"
The minister's questions were quickly answered.
They are guards, not the guards of the main hall, they are the low-level guards guarding the palace gate.
It is self-evident what this kind of guard means when he enters the hall with a gun.
"Sure enough, a strong general has no weak soldiers. If you come, you will be rewarded with gold."
At the minister's order, the guard brought a plate of gold.
Esdeath's face was very cold, and the minister's behavior was obviously to poach people.
"Minister, I will reward my subordinates personally."
Hearing Esdeath's somewhat unkind tone, the minister smiled apologetically.
"I'm really confused. I was a little frightened by the assassin. Don't mind, General Esdeath."
The minister is a cunning man, and he knows that he cannot be hostile to Esdeath, otherwise both sides will suffer.
"In that case, let's go back first. I will take care of the 'nightraid' matter."
Esdeath made a show of leaving.
"Wait a minute, since we have to deal with the 'nightraid', I have a good idea."
The minister picked up a piece of medium-ripe meat and put it into his mouth. As he chewed it, a trace of blood fell from the corner of the minister's mouth.
"All ears."
Esdeath didn't want to get into trouble with the minister, so the minister began to describe his plan.
The minister's plan is very simple. Let Esdeath's men assassinate some 'rebellious' officials near the imperial capital. After assassinating the officials, they will throw dirty water on the 'nightraid', or night raid troops, at the scene of the crime. The night raid troops will not tolerate it.
If this happens, the night attack force will be exposed.
The plan may seem silly, but in reality it is not.
The minister's target was not the night attack troops at all, but the 'rebellious' officials. He just wanted to use Esdeath's help to eliminate dissidents.
"Of course, General Esdeath will not run away in vain. This quarter's military expenditure will be increased by 30%."
The minister is indeed a cunning person. He knows that Esdeath does not love money, so he simply helps Esdeath expand his armaments.
"Is that so...that's good."
Esdeath agreed, the minister beamed, and the little emperor sat bored.
Major national affairs are basically decided in this way. The little emperor is not without power. After all, he can control the supreme imperial weapon. The little emperor has no intention of managing at all.
"Your Highness, what about the batch last night? I'll help you prepare it tonight..."
The minister laughed lewdly, the little emperor's face turned red, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
As a faint emperor, how could the little emperor not be a womanizer under the guidance of his ministers? It's just that the little emperor is too young, only fourteen or five years old at most.
Su Xiao suspected that the reason why the little emperor was so skinny was because he was unable to keep up with nutrition due to excessive sexual indulgence.
The minister and the young emperor walked towards the back of the hall, and Esdeath looked at the three beast warriors and Su Xiao.
"I'll leave this matter to you, but I have other ideas."
Several people walked out of the main hall. After leaving the main hall, the three beast warriors were ordered to assassinate the 'disobedient' officials. Su Xiao did not go with them. This was specially arranged by Esdeath.
…
The next day, on the outskirts of the imperial capital, the army headquarters was attacked at night.
"Now let's talk about the reason for calling everyone."
The leader of the night attack force, Najiexitan, sat in front of a dozen people. Najiexitan was a white-haired lady with one eye and one arm. Her broken arm was replaced by a dark green metal arm. Her blind eye was covered with a
Black eye mask.
In front of Najiexitan were several main members of the night attack force, and there were some unfamiliar faces around them. These were all contractors, and they were not weak in strength.
Najexitan held up a piece of paper with the night attack force's logo printed on it for everyone to see.
"Several murders occurred in the imperial capital last night. The victims were all imperial officials who were inclined to defect to our revolutionary army. They are still wavering, and this is still left at the scene."
Several members of the night attack force were silent for a while.
"This is obviously throwing dirty water. Only the minister can do such a thing, and there will be no one else."
Brand, the ace of the night attack force, spoke. He was definitely ranked among the top three in the night attack force. His Teigu is the 'Evil Ghost Haunted and Operated Armor'. It is an armor-type Teigu. The Teigu usually looks like a sword.
, can transform into armor during battle.
"That's true. At first, people didn't believe that we did it, but now they believe it."
Najiexitan's tone was a little heavy.
"Why?"
Tazmi, a newcomer to the Night Raid Force, spoke up. He was a country boy from the border of the Empire. He had a righteous heart and originally wanted to join the Imperial Army. However, after witnessing the darkness in the Imperial Capital, he joined the Night Raid Troop by chance.
According to the information in the original work, Tazmi may not be the protagonist, and the protagonist of Zhanchi World may be another person.
