Chapter 211: A Very weak Emperor

— General Esdes, the suppression of the north has been excellent, I will give you ten thousand gold pieces as a reward, " the emperor said. His words had no grandeur at all, and they sounded like an ordinary kindergarten kid who had been told to read the text.

—  Thank you, Your Majesty, I will reward those soldiers who heroically killed our enemies. Now that I'm back, I'll destroy the Night Raid that affects Your Majesty's sleep, " Esdes said without any respect.

Su Xiao looked at the minister standing next to the emperor and then looked at Esdes.

The empire was currently under the control of these two people.

— Then I'll have to trouble the general, but with an exception... The emperor said, and Su Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed.

— Su Xiao looked at Esdes.

— I am sure?

— Yes.

— Kill him!

Su Xiao rushed to a side hall.

— What does it do? the emperor was stunned, and the minister at the side was also puzzled.

—  This is my subordinate. He discovered that there was an enemy in the palace, and it could be members of the Night Raid, " Esdes no longer squatted down and got to her feet.

----

Two minutes later.

*Boom!*

The bloodied body flew out of the door and stopped at Esdes ' feet, rolling several times.

Su Xiao's figure followed him into the main hall, and his body was smeared with blood. He was holding a sword, the blade of which was stained with blood, in his right hand, and in his left hand he held a pistol.

This person was a contractor, and Su Xiao had already discovered this person a long time ago, but he didn't pay any attention to him.

After all, it was no surprise that other contractors had also sided with the empire.

But this guy aimed at Su Xiao's head in an instant. He clearly wanted to kill him.

Because of the growing sense of danger, Su Xiao eventually realized that this person was preparing to activate a certain skill.

Su Xiao wouldn't wait for this moment, so he resolutely charged at him and killed him.

Given Su Xiao's speed, trying to kill him with a ranged weapon at such a distance was simply too stupid.

— Is that the man's gun? "Esdeath hasn't seen Su Xiao use such a weapon before.

—  Yes, I thought he was a guard, but he took too long to aim at a certain position, or rather at the emperor. Then I realized that he couldn't be a guard.

Esdeath thought for a moment.

— Your Majesty, this is the palace guard?

— This...  The emperor looked at the minister.

— Hey, anyone?!  The minister shouted loudly, and several guards immediately rushed into the hall?

The Minister's question was quickly answered.

This person was a guard, but not a guard of the main hall, but a guard of the palace gate.

Obviously, such a guard couldn't be in the main hall, much less with a gun.

—  Of course, under such a strong general, there will be no weak soldiers, someone give him gold! "by order of the Minister, the guards began to take out the gold.

Esdeath looked cold, and the minister was clearly displeased with everything that was going on.

—  Minister, this is my subordinate, and I will personally reward him, "Hearing Esdes' unfriendly tone, the minister smiled guiltily.

— Oh, I was confused and a little scared by the assassin, I hope General Esdes doesn't mind that.

The minister was an old, cunning man. He knew that he couldn't openly express his dislike for Esdeath. Otherwise, both of them would have suffered.

— In that case, we'll go back and deal with the Night Raid, " Esdes said and gestured to her subordinates.

—  Wait a minute, as for the Night Raid, I have a good idea — " the minister picked up a half-cooked piece of meat and popped it into his mouth. As he chewed it, a rare trickle of blood flowed out of the minister's mouth.

— Esdes didn't want to antagonize the minister right now, so the minister began to describe his plan.

The minister's plan was very simple. Esdes 'men were supposed to kill a few "disobedient" officials near the imperial capital. After killing the officials, the Empire will claim that the Night Raid did all this, and spread very unpleasant rumors about this group.

The plan seemed a little silly, but it was pretty good.

The minister's goal wasn't really a Night Raid, but these "naughty" officials. He just wanted to use Esdes for his own purposes.

—  Of course, General Esdes ' forces must not be wasted. Military spending for this season will increase by 30%, " the minister was indeed a cunning old man. He knew that Esdeath didn't like accepting money, so he decided to take her as collateral for her army.

— "Oh, good," Esdes said, and the minister smiled happily, while the emperor watched the scene with some boredom.

All events basically ended in this way. The emperor really didn't have any real power. He could have used the supreme Teiga and taken matters into his own hands, but he didn't even think about it.

— Your Majesty, I have prepared something for you again ... " The minister looked at the emperor with an indecent smile. The Emperor blushed, and his eyes filled with expectation.

Being the most ordinary puppet, the emperor fell in love with the feminine charms that were kindly provided to him by the minister.

Su Xiao suspected that the reason why the emperor was thin was because he didn't eat enough compared to how much he spent every night.

The minister and the emperor walked into the hidden hall, and Esdes looked at the three beasts and Su Xiao.

— You'll take this case, I have other things to do.

A few people came out of the main hall.

After leaving the main hall, the three beasts were ordered to kill the officials.

The next day, on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

— Now let's talk about the reason for the convocation.

The head and founder of the Night Raid, Najenda, was sitting in front of a dozen people. Najenda was a woman with one eye, one arm, and white hair. Her lost arm was replaced with a blackish-green metal arm. One of her eyes was covered by a black blindfold.

In front of Najenda were several core members of the Night Raid and new people.

These were contractors with great strength.

Najenda held up a piece of paper with the Night Raid logo on it for everyone to see.

—  There were several murders in the imperial capital last night. The victims were all imperial officials who usually relied on us, but were not our people. As a result, they died, and this was left on their bodies..

All the people were silent for a while.

—  Obviously, someone decided to blame us. Only the minister would do such a thing, " said Bulat, the strongest member of the Night Raid. His strength in the Night Raid was definitely in the top 3. His Teigu is the Incurcio armor, which could be either armor or a weapon.

— We understand that this is true, but many people think otherwise, " Najenda said in a heavy tone.

—  Why? The newcomer, Tatsumi, asked. He was a country boy from the borders of the empire. He had justice in mind and wanted to join the empire and earn some money, however, after losing his companions, he joined the Night Raid.

According to the plot, Tatsumi wasn't the "main character" from the beginning — the main character of this world was another person.
