This is what is called treating your enemies as cold as winter, but treating your own people as warm as spring.
"As lovers, although we have been together for a while, we have never found a chance to have a good chat. It is rare to have free time now. Why don't we take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk?"
Very simple reason, right
"Almost...that's probably it."
"This means that as long as you are given the opportunity to conquer enemies and fight powerful enemies, you don't care who you cooperate with, right?"
This time, he was waiting for this general's statement!
However, the problem is that Esdeath's choice really makes him quite incomprehensible. If you said it's not good who you choose as your partner, why do you have to choose Ernest? Don’t you have any idea what kind of person that guy is
Hearing Esdeath's answer, Li Yalin scratched his head subconsciously. His S-shaking general and the night attack were really incompatible. It was obviously impossible for the two sides to coexist peacefully.
"Does this need to be said? Night Raid is the enemy of the empire! It's a rebel! I'm a general of the empire, how can I join the side of the rebels?"
"If that's the case, I won't help you!"
Ornest needed Esdeath's force to maintain his rule, while Esdeath needed Ornest's power to get more opportunities to fight. This can be regarded as a hit-off in a sense, so the two started to Cooperation was carried out in this way.
When Esdeath became a general, Minister Ernest had already single-handedly controlled the government, and there were very few conscientious officials left in the entire court who could resist him.
Although Esdeath is a shy female general, her cruel side is always facing the enemy. Internally, from her subordinates in the army to civilians, she is actually very generous.
This is not something Esdeath can accept!
"Do you want to take over Ernest's power? After all, do you still want to help Night Raid and help the rebels overthrow the empire?"
It's just that that ending is not what Li Yalin wants to see!
"But why...why would you collude with a guy like Ernest? You should be very clear about what he did, right? Why did you choose to cooperate with him?"
"Actually, I'm very confused. As a general of the empire, Esdeath, you can be said to be very competent. Not only can you lead the army to defeat the enemy, but you are also very kind to your subordinates, and you can also treat ordinary people well."
Why refuse
"Why did I choose Minister Ernest to cooperate? Maybe... because I followed the trend?"
Originally, Esdeath thought Li Yalin would insist on persuading her, but she didn't expect that he just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.
No matter what!
After listening to Esdeath's words, Li Yalin rubbed his temples with a headache.
From the beginning to the end, she regarded Li Yalin as a night raider, that is, the rebel side, so her thoughts were naturally based on this direction.
As for what kind of tyranny Ernest implemented and how he oppressed the people, that was not something that Esdeath, as a general, should care about.
Li Yalin didn't care what others thought. Anyway, for him, Esdeath like this was very much to his liking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have liked this shaky general.
If Li Yalin's heart was devoted to the rebels, it would have been better if he stayed in Night Raid from the beginning. After all, following Night Raid, even if the plot changes, the rebels will eventually win and the empire will be ended.
At that time, Esdeath was simply enjoying her status as a general, leading the army to eliminate foreign enemies and mopping up all the enemies of the empire. That was her favorite thing to do.
She didn't want to pay attention to government affairs or anything like that.
This is not a standard answer, but for Esdeath, it is indeed the case.
Although he didn't think Li Yalin's words were completely correct, after thinking for a moment, Esdeath still nodded and agreed.
As a military general, she only needs to be responsible for conquering the enemies of the empire. How to govern the country is something that only civil servants should consider!
"Okay, I finally understand, so if I say that I need you to help me kill Ernest, let me take over his power, and give you more opportunities to lead troops against the enemy, will you help me?" I?"
A heart-to-heart talk in this wilderness
Go with the flow
Regarding Li Yalin's question, Esdeath answered confidently.
Li Yalin suddenly said such words, which was difficult for Esdeath to absorb for a while. Not only that, she seemed to have fallen into another strange circle.
The reason is very simple. She is an officer and soldier, and she is a thief in the night attack. Who has ever seen an officer and soldier become a thief
When Li Yalin mentioned this question, Esdeath was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he finally answered.
"That makes sense. Well, don't worry. I won't force you to join the night attack. In fact, I didn't intend to do that."
At this point, Li Yalin had completely understood Esdeath's thoughts, so he finally expressed his thoughts.
Esdeath, she is such a person.
Although Esdeath thought a lot, it was a pity that she really guessed wrong this time.
"Have a heart-to-heart talk? What do you want to talk about?"
It's really simple, but it also makes people want to complain!
Li Yalin wants to kill Ernest, but wouldn’t it be the rebels who benefit in the end
Such a simple Esdeath is also very surprising...
Li Yalin already fully understood Esdeath's attitude, so he had a clear idea of what to do next.
Li Yalin wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk, but she welcomed him very much.
It really doesn't matter to her who the partner is, but for now, Minister Ernest is the best one.
It seems that because of this, Ernest took a fancy to her potential as the strongest female general in the empire. He extended an olive branch at the right time and gave her more military power through the emperor, allowing her to have more subordinates to conquer more. Many enemies.
Does this mean that in the end, his heart is still focused on Night Raid
Of course, he didn't think that Esdeath and Night Raid could coexist peacefully from beginning to end. As long as the two sides didn't fight to the death, that would be a blessing.
Regarding this question, Li Yalin has always wanted to ask it.
She doesn't care about others, she would never do that anyway!
If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably be angry because of this, but the problem is, Esdeath is obviously not an ordinary girl.
"You are overthinking it. I have no intention of helping the rebels overthrow the empire. In fact, some of the ideas of the rebels are also unacceptable to me."
