Chapter 97: Chapter 97
At this time, the spacious hall was already in chaos, and the civil servants were hysterically admonishing the young emperor.
The eyes of the civil servants were all bloodshot, fearing that they would be executed next.
"Your Majesty! Don't listen to Honest anymore, he is a rebel!"
"Your Majesty! Now the empire is on the verge of collapse!"
"Your Majesty! The gods who descended more than ten days ago have begun to overthrow the empire! The entire southern province has almost fallen!"
"Wake up, Your Majesty! General Esdeath, who was suppressing the tribes in the north, has rebelled!"
"In a few days, all the northern provinces will fall just like the southern provinces, Your Majesty!"
"Please let General Budo get rid of this traitor Honest! Otherwise, the empire will truly fall in a matter of days!"
The civil servants who opposed Honest roared hysterically, their faces full of despair.
The empire had been stable fifty years ago, just a few decades ago. However, the emergence of revolutionary armies within the empire had continuously provoked rebellions in various cities. In less than thirty years, the revolutionary army occupied half of the cities in the eastern province.
However, after the young emperor succeeded to the throne, he completely obeyed the words of Honest, a flattering minister, which led to the entire empire becoming corrupt within just ten years. The words of these loyal ministers could not reach the young emperor's ears. It was a desperate situation.
What made them even more hopeless was that the gods had noticed the corrupt empire at this time and had sent down incarnations to overthrow it. They were not clueless like the young emperor. Their spies had brought back the news from Jerok on the day the gods descended. The people there had completely regarded the empire as their enemy. The places visited by the followers of the God of Justice were full of flowers and peace, like paradise on earth. These were lands that the empire could no longer take back.
The young emperor had never seen a situation where all the civil servants were against him. He was restless on the high throne, breaking out in cold sweat.
A harsh scolding came.
"What nonsense! You treacherous ministers have come to deceive His Majesty again. The empire is still singing and dancing, and the peace of the capital is evident to His Majesty. There is no sign of the empire's collapse!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the young emperor instantly gained a sense of relief.
Minister Honest walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing manner.
"Your Majesty, I'm late."
The young emperor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Minister Honest, where have you been? Why are you here so late?"
Honest pretended to be respectful and said: "I apologize, Your Majesty. I did not mean to frighten Your Majesty."
"Honest! You treacherous minister who bewitched the emperor! I'm going to kill you!"
A loyal minister took out a dagger from his clothes and rushed towards Honest hysterically, but before he could take two steps, a bolt of lightning struck him, reducing him to charcoal.
Boom!
Bzzzt!
"No one is allowed to commit murder in the palace and disturb His Majesty."
Budo, who was leading the military generals, said in a low voice as the Teigu Bilqis on his arm flashed with lightning. It was evident from his expression that he was a loyal and devoted man.
Honest was also shocked, taking out a towel to wipe the cold sweat from his face. Half of it was because he was genuinely scared, and the other half was because he knew the empire was on the brink of collapse.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he glared at the civil servant who had been staring at him, ready to pounce on him.
"Guards, what are you still doing? These traitors are committing murder in the palace. They want to harm His Majesty. Get them out immediately!"
Budo waved his hand and said sternly: "Guards, take them out and lock them up. If they dare to disturb His Majesty again, they will face judgment afterward."
"Ahhh! Let me go! Honest, you traitor!"
"Your Majesty! Wake up quickly, the empire is falling!"
After a few civil servants were taken away, the rest were all flatterers promoted by Honest.
The young emperor looked at Honest with lingering fear: "Minister Honest, are what they said true? The gods who performed miracles before want to overthrow the empire? And is General Esdeath really rebelling?"
Honest held his head high and said, "Your Majesty, do not listen to the nonsense of those traitorous ministers."
"Your Majesty, this empire, passed down from generation to generation, is the order of God! How could God overthrow the empire?"
"As for the rebellion in the southern provinces, it is nothing more than the revolutionary army and the cult of 'An Ning Dao' relying on a few missing Teigu and trying to cause chaos through so-called miracles. We only need to form a small team of Teigu users to annihilate them all. Your Majesty, please leave this matter to me."
The young emperor sighed in relief and nodded: "Is that so?"
"Yes, my empire, passed down from generation to generation, is the order of God."
His throne was the operating platform of the supreme imperial weapon, the Divine Machine of Protecting the Country, a 'god' that could only be used by the blood of the royal family.
"I feel reassured with Minister Honest in charge. But why did General Esdeath rebel?"
Honest pretended to be dismissive: "Humph, it must be because she has an army of millions and thinks she can sit on the throne."
"The traitor General Esdeath is not the only strongest person in the empire. General Budo is even more powerful than her."
Having said this, he looked at Budo, who had a straight face and folded his arms as always. It seemed that he could not hear anything except the emperor's orders.
The young emperor nodded: "Yes, General Budo's Teigu, Thunder God's Fury, is very powerful, so General Budo will definitely be able to quell Esdeath's rebellion."
Honest nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, so, General Budo, please bring back Esdeath's head for His Majesty the Emperor."
General Budo snorted coldly: "Humph, Esdeath... Anyone who betrays the empire will be torn to pieces by thunder!"
"But who will protect His Majesty if I leave?"
Honest quickly said: "The empire's assassination troops have always been protecting His Majesty's safety."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl who looked very similar to Akame appeared at the entrance of the hall, followed by a handsome young man with a white wing-shaped Teigu behind him, and a young man with a ferocious scar on his face, whose expression was rebellious and cruel.
"Hehehe, my Teigu is the only Space Imperial Equipment, the Dimensional Phalanx Shangri-La. Who else can protect His Majesty's safety besides me?"
General Budo: "Are you the Space Teigu user? Very well. I will leave, and within three days, I will bring the head of the traitorous General Esdeath to His Majesty."
