Chapter 210: Capital of the Empire

After the army marched south for two days, the temperature gradually increased.

It was autumn in the empire, but the weather in early autumn wasn't hot. A cool breeze blew from time to time, but the soldiers felt refreshed.

They arrived at the imperial capital.

They only had to go through the main battle in the imperial capital.

From time to time, they would meet merchants, but these merchants would immediately rush to give way when they saw such an army. They even lowered their heads, clearly not daring to even look at the soldiers.

Seeing a female general with blue hair at the head of the procession, the merchants were clearly surprised.

— General Esdes is back. Wasn't she sent to war with the north?

— Don't tell me...

— Don't be silly, look at the soldiers ' march. Do they look like losers? They won!

— But this war should have lasted at least a year, right?

The merchants began to actively whisper, and their previous fears and resentments disappeared.

If there was an army in the imperial capital that was supported by ordinary people, it was only the Esdes Army.

But the army did not head to the imperial capital, but to a military camp outside the capital. The news of the great victory began to spread rapidly like wildfire.

Three people were standing in front of the military camp, waiting for Esdes to return. The three of them were Esdes 'bodyguards and were the owners of Teigu, and many called them" The Three Beasts».

One of them was an old man, another was a muscular man, and the third was a pretty little girl.

General Leaver was a former general of the Empire. He was imprisoned for hating bribes and rejecting all corruption schemes, but in the end Esdes saved him, considering that such a talent should not be wasted. Because of this, his loyalty to her was extremely high. His Teigu was a "Black Marlin", it was a ring-shaped Teigu that could control water.

A strongman named Daidra, a battle fanatic, had a Teiga called Belvaak, a two-handed axe that could be split in two and used as a boomerang.

A cute "girl" named Nyau was the last of the three. It was actually a guy who liked to pretend to be a pretty girl.

Teigu Nyau was called "The Scream". This Teigu was a flute that released such music that could manipulate the opponent's emotions and physical state.

The three men were standing in front of the military camp, and when they saw Esdes ' figure, the three of them immediately greeted her.

—  General, how was your trip? The subordinates have prepared a banquet for you, " old man Leaver said and bowed with one hand on his chest, and the white gloves on his hands and his clothes made him look like a butler.

He was the leader of the " Three Beasts».

— Not now. I need to meet the emperor, but first I want to introduce you to a colleague.

The three beasts were somewhat baffled.

— A colleague? The general found talent in the north?

— This time I found a treasure, he's a former assassin.

Old man Leaver frowned slightly at Esdeath's words. Former killers were usually very unusual people.

But Leaver didn't say anything, since it was Esdes ' will, he wouldn't say anything.

—  I will inform you in advance that your new colleague is a very strong killer. I managed to fight him. Speaking of one-on-one battles, he's no weaker than me.

The three beasts were shocked and looked at Esdes in disbelief.

— Is he ... is he any weaker than the general?" The cute" girl " Nyau swallowed, and her voice was neutral.

— Byakuya!  Esdes shouted to the army behind her, and the eyes of the three beasts stared in a certain direction.

A black-haired guy with a long sword at his waist immediately stepped forward. His body didn't look strong, but he exuded a very sharp aura.

— This is your colleague, Byakuya.".

— They are my subordinates.

— All right, " Su Xiao replied simply. He knew the three of them.

This trio was called the "Three Beasts". Although they weren't weak, they would die in one of the following quests. The strongest of them all died in less than five minutes.

— Pay attention to your tone and words when talking to the general, " old man Leaver said, and his gaze wasn't friendly.

— I don't care. Ex-killers always have certain flaws, but he's fine.

— I insulted the general.".

Su Xiao didn't care about Leaver's words. Why did he have to care about a man who was about to die?

— It's getting late, let's go meet the emperor.

The four of them got on the carriage and went to the imperial capital. The imperial capital wasn't small. It was a huge city. This city was an echelon form, and the higher the street was located, the more prosperous it was considered.

The center of the imperial capital was the palace, and the palace could be said to be the undisputed center of the imperial capital.

The palace was made up of several layers, and the highest point of this palace reached hundreds of meters.

Horse- drawn carriages passed through the imperial capital every now and then, and many beautifully dressed people strolled through the streets of the imperial capital. It was the capital of the country, so it was no surprise that everything in this place was flourishing.

The sun hung sluggishly over the horizon, and the entire imperial capital was bathed in dim sunlight.

It was already six o'clock in the evening.

The carriage arrived at the main entrance of the palace, which was guarded by several squads at once. As soon as the guards saw the sign on the carriage, they immediately let the carriage in without even checking it.

The size of the palace wasn't small, so it took the carriage a while to reach it.

This surprised Su Xiao a little. This was a palace, and shouldn't they get off the carriage at the main entrance and walk to this place on foot?

Apparently the emperor was even more useless than he imagined, at least Esdes didn't care about the emperor's face.

Soon, they entered a very majestic hall. The floor was covered with a red carpet. In front was a throne made of gold. The throne was on high ground.

There was a 13 or 14-year-old emperor sitting on the throne.

The Emperor was thin, which gave the impression that he was malnourished, and his purple clothes were even more nondescript and looked cheap.

Although he was an emperor, he didn't give off an aura of grandeur. Su Xiao only saw a very weak boy.

Esdes entered the hall with Su Xiao and the others. They walked a few meters and then knelt down.

In fact, Esdeath squatted down rather than knelt down.

After looking at the emperor and seeing nothing in his gaze, Su Xiao knew that this was already the norm.

Su Xiao did the same.

At this time, he began to consider whether he should capture this " emperor».

This teenager was definitely very weak.

Next to the emperor was a fat old man with a beard.

The old man's beard was white, but there were no wrinkles on his skin. He himself was fat, and if it wasn't for his white hair along with a white beard, many would think that he was an ordinary middle-aged man.

This fat old man was a minister who completely controlled the emperor.

The minister held a plate of meat in his hand and stood next to the emperor. The meat he held in his hands was meant for him, not the emperor.

Su Xiao eventually threw the idea away. He wasn't sure if the emperor had the key.

Good time of day.

The release of new chapters is left at the rate of 5 chapters / day, but after a little thought, we decided to add goals. You can read them in the title description (the goal gives buns to both those who support translation in rubles and those who support us with a good word).

If you have any other ideas, you can suggest them in the comments..

Thank you for support!
