Esdeath's victorious return means that for the lower-class people, their peaceful days will not be disturbed, but for the higher-ups of the empire, it is the guarantee that the empire can continue to be passed down despite the ups and downs.
However, it was obvious that there was no such thing as Anshengzheng in the empire that was about to be shattered. A month after Esdeath's army returned victoriously, a new battle report came again.
The foreign ethnic groups located in the southwest of the empire were unable to tolerate the uprising carried out by the imperial government more than a month ago. Instead of being disintegrated, they defeated the imperial troops sent based on the geographical location. The battle between 120,000 imperial troops and 10,000 aliens had already failed before they even entered the hinterland of the aliens.
The empire was extremely anxious about this and had to once again send the empire's strongest general Esdeath to take charge of this suppression. In order to cooperate with her actions, another young female general was specially dispatched, who was also the Teigu Romantic Fort. The holder of - Najexitan.
The grand farewell ceremony reappeared only after a superfluous moment, and Le Yuan also put down his work and came to see him off. The person who sent it was none other than Vali, who had become Esdeath's subordinate. In just one month since Esdeath returned to the Imperial Capital, she had three more Imperial Arms users under her command.
"Has it finally started? It's not enough. But this crackdown is probably the time when Najiexitan thought of defecting. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with her." Looking at the high-spirited Najiexitan, she was happy Yuan once again had the idea of poaching people. After all, as a Teigu user, Najiexitan was definitely stronger than Hill and had a more mature mind, which would undoubtedly be more helpful for the next actions.
As Esdeath left, Le Yuan's thoughts also left the imperial capital. During this period of time, Le Yuan not only handed over all the affairs of the store to Hill, but also specially left a puppet clone to live a solitary life in the imperial capital, fully playing out the identity of "Le Yuan".
The real Le Yuan followed Esdeath's army all the way, examining and judging Najexitan while hunting down the special dangerous species they found.
After entering the territory of the foreign nation, the speed of the army obviously slowed down. Various natural disasters, ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and plagues continued to slow down the movement of the army. The 100,000 troops that followed along the way continued to reduce in number under these troubles. When the war with foreign nations was about to begin, there were less than 10,000 people left.
On the eve of the attack on the foreign nation's royal city, the army was stationed in front of the raging long river in front of the foreign nation's royal city. Most of the soldiers had a look of exhaustion on their faces. Although they were soldiers of Esdeath who had experienced hundreds of battles, the environment in the area where foreign ethnic groups lived in the southwest was really too bad.
"General Najexitan, drink some hot soup! The environment in this wild land has changed too much. This hot soup should be able to drive away the moisture in the body!" Le Yuan, who has transformed into a member of Esdeath's army He came to Najiexitan with a bowl of soup.
"Oh, Najiexitan, it seems that you also have many suitors in the military. Don't let others down." Esdeath, who was sitting next to him drinking, looked at Najiexitan with a flushed face. said.
As the person involved, Najiexitan was not embarrassed when she saw Le Yuan's incarnation as a soldier. Instead, she took the broth from Le Yuan's hand and drank it generously. After eating a bowl of broth, Najiexitan's face was sweating because of the bowl of soup. Najiexitan patted Le Yuan on the shoulder and said: "The soup tastes good. You must work hard for tomorrow's battle." !”
Le Yuan nodded, took the empty bowl from Najiexitan's hand and turned away. Through the brief contact just now, Le Yuan knew that Najiexitan was not the remnant soul of the Bingshan Royal Sister he was looking for. The mark on his right hand still showed no reaction at all. However, through the second contact with Esdeath, Le Yuan once again raised his doubts about her. Although the red mark on her chest was caused by the manifestation of the Ice Emperor's Demon God [Devil's Essence], it was not related to There are some similarities between Le Yuan's Lord of the Flies pattern and the mark on his palm.
"One has been eliminated, but I'm still confused. Is it because these two people are not reincarnations of remnant souls, or is there something wrong with the demon mark on my hand?" Le Yuan hid in Chengjun again after the investigation. A pawn that no one cares about.
Just when they were attacking the city the next day, Le Yuan also saw Esdeath's powerful strength for the first time. The Ice Emperor's Demon God appeared in her hands and exerted a power beyond imagination. The river, which was hundreds of meters wide and running endlessly, completely condensed under her care and turned into an ice bridge that was enough to support the army's advance.
"With this kind of power, does it seem that my prediction is wrong? Even if it does not reach absolute zero, this kind of cold air is very close, and the Teigu's consumption of her physical strength is minimal, which can completely keep her AOE, ice. The emperor is equipped with both offense and defense!"
Le Yuan has been simulating Esdeath's battle in his mind. For her attack method of manipulating elements, Le Yuan himself has never had a good way to fight against her attack method of manipulating elements. In addition to using contact combat to keep her away from attention before she attacks with all her strength, I am afraid that if she is not careful, she will turn into an ice sculpture and never wake up.
The final road to the foreign nation was opened, and the next battle was a one-sided massacre. The foreign nations were still in the age of cold weapons, but the empire had already formed an iron artillery unit, and the spears that could fire continuously harvested the lives of the foreign nations like wheat.
As for the three beast warriors who are the Teigu users, they are like wolves among the sheep. There is no one enemy that the entire alien nation can fight against. The three Teigu users are just short of being able to cut grass with a thousand people.
This battle lasted from day to night, and the capital of the foreign nation in the southwest was completely destroyed in this battle. Most of the people of the foreign nation were killed in the battle, and only a few leaders were tied up and sent to Esdeath.
Facing the capital of a foreign nation that had completely lost its resistance, Esdeath shouted to his subordinates: "Now is the time for you to enjoy the results of your victory and ravage them to your heart's content!"
Seeing Esdeath letting the soldiers massacre the city, Najexitan, an imperial general, turned her head away unbearably. And when Esdeath decided to let the tiger go back to the mountains and let the leaders of foreign nations bring more people to hunt for her, Najiexitan decided in her heart that she would no longer follow the corrupt empire.
On the third day when the army was stationed in the abandoned royal city, Najexitan fled from Esdeath's place with the romantic fort carried by a single horse. She left quietly while it was still dark, but her actions that she thought were hidden were not only seen by Le Yuan, but Esdeath also learned of her plan.
However, Esdeath did not stop Najexitan at the moment she left. This was both Najexitan's luck and her misfortune. Esdeath's cat-and-mouse character reacted at this moment, raising the hope of escaping in Najiexitan's heart, and then personally shattered this hope into a complete failure when she thought she was about to succeed. despair.
Three hours after Najehitan escaped, she was still chased by Esdeath. Esdeath, who was lightly armed, only came to hunt Najehitan alone, but it was still not what Najehitan could do. To deal with.
The Romantic Turret is a gun-shaped Teigu that can convert spiritual energy into shock waves, and its power can be further increased according to the degree of crisis the user encounters. It came into play when Najesitan faced off against Esdeath. Unprecedented power.
Although one blow cannot be said to destroy the hill, it can still make a big hole in the wall of the imperial capital gate. However, such an attack was intercepted by an ice wall casually thrown by Esdeath.
"Najexitan, you made a wrong decision, please pay the price for your stupidity!" Esdeath quickly rushed towards Nadezhitan, but Nadezhitan could only continue to hold back the romance. The trigger of the turret was aimed and fired shot after shot.
However, the distance between the two of them continued to shorten, but Najiexitan's shots still couldn't hit Esdeath. Just a few seconds later, Najexitan was approached by Esdeath.
Esdeath thrust her free right hand towards Najehitan's head. Najehitan, who instinctively felt the crisis, turned her head to her left side, and a sword belt made entirely of ice appeared within a few millimeters. A few strands of Najiesitan's hair were taken away.
Feeling frightened, Najexitan kicked her right foot back and at the same time fired the muzzle of the romantic turret in her hand at Esdeath, who was only a short distance away.
Esdeath's left-hand rapier blocked the blow with ice wind, and then slashed towards Najehitan's right arm that could no longer dodge. Najehitan had already dodged this blow as fast as the wind. There was no escape, he was about to lose his right hand.
There was only a "ding" sound, and Esdeath's blow was blocked. Unexpectedly, there was a man holding a golden spear in both hands between the two.
"It's you!"
Esdeath looked at the face of the transformed Le Yuan and immediately thought of it. As Le Yuan's gun blast swept away Esdeath and temporarily forced Esdeath back, the little man Le Yuan truly entered Esdeath. in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, General Esdeath. I will keep Najie Xitan today." Le Yuan said, looking at Esdeath with a gun in his hand.
"Interesting, you were able to follow me here, and that shot just now, you are definitely not an ordinary soldier. Did you have a plan in advance? I had to beat you and torture it out of your mouth!" Esther Si smiled bloodthirstyly, and then rushed forward again.
"It's windy and rainy!" Le Yuan doesn't intend to continue to be entangled with Esdeath. The only task today is to protect Najiexitan. The eternal spear in Le Yuan's hand was danced into thousands of sticks, like airtight raindrops. Each spear shadow carried a strong wind. Esdeath couldn't help but stop in the face of this blow. steps.
The thin sword in his hand slashed against the ground, and a crystal clear ice wall erected out of thin air in front of Esdeath. Le Yuan's gun shadow containing the strong wind hit the ice wall one after another. , making a "click" sound.
Although Le Yuan's attack fired countless fragmentation barrages on the ice wall, it was still a little short of breaking the ice wall. But this was enough. Le Yuan took advantage of Esdeath's opportunity to defend and pulled Najiexitan beside him. With a blue light, the two of them disappeared in front of Esdeath at the same time.
After removing the ice wall, Esdeath felt the aura of no one around, frowned and murmured: "It has disappeared. Could it be an imperial tool that can teleport people? Shouldn't it be kept by the minister? What an interesting person. , I will hunt you down next time I meet you!"
