章 96: Chapter 96

Gudong—

As soon as Esdeath said these words, the commanders looked at the general who was releasing a cold aura towards them in fear. As the commanders of the imperial army who followed the general to suppress the ethnic minorities on the border of the empire, they knew that General Esdeath would never joke.

General Esdeath was conquered by the 'gods'. The power of the 'god' was witnessed by all of them. Even General Esdeath was not the enemy of such power.

There is no fool who can become a commander. They understood that if such a powerful god wanted to deal with the empire, the empire was destined to fall. There was no hesitation.

"We will always follow the General."

Just kidding, who wants to die with the empire? And if they didn't make a decision now, General Esdeath would deal with them. They understood how cruel General Esdeath was to her enemies.

Esdeath smiled, and the smile was full of cruelty that ravaged everything: "Very good, follow me now and start ravaging the nobles of the empire from the northern border!"

The commanders conveyed Esdeath's will to the soldiers. Without exception, no soldier chose to be buried in the ice here. The momentum was extremely high. The imperial dignitaries who once could order them arbitrarily had now become the targets they were about to ravage.

This rebellious mood instantly caused fire to burn in the eyes of all the soldiers.

The Three Beasts stepped forward quickly.

Nyau pretended to cry bitterly: "General, it's so good that you didn't die!"

The next moment, click!

He was instantly frozen in the ice, and the expression on his face was frozen, as if he was a statue in the ice, rich in artistic value.

Leone, one of the Three Beasts, reacted in shock and disbelief: "General Esdeath, what are you doing?"

He knew that the General was extremely lenient towards her subordinates. Although she would scold foolish subordinates, she would never have any murderous intentions towards them. Now when the General looked at the three of them, a strong and terrifying murderous intention flashed across her.

This murderous intention made his body completely stiff, and he was unable to control his own will.

Esdeath kicked Nyau's ice sculpture in front of millions of troops, and it fell apart instantly.

"My master hates people who do all kinds of evil the most. As my subordinate, instead of being judged and beheaded in front of the people, it is better for me to give you a dignified end now."

As Takumi's dependent, I know what his will is.

Daidara lost consciousness instantly when he saw the general looking at him coldly, before he could even say "General."

Leone swallowed hard. Would he be next?

It was obvious that the general was obeying the will of the 'gods'. To the 'gods', Nyau and Daidara were people full of evil.

"Okay, Leone, notify the whole army to start attacking the city. Kill the resisting defenders, but do not disturb the ordinary people."

Leone came back to his senses and looked at the back of General Esdeath, sweating profusely. The general didn't kill him? He instantly figured out why. He was originally one of the empire's generals, but he was imprisoned because he refused to bribe his superiors. Fortunately, he came out of prison after meeting General Esdeath and was not beheaded. Although he became one of the Three Beasts after joining the army, he did not commit as many evil deeds as the other two.

So, because of this, the general didn't kill him?

'Will the gods one day give retribution to those who have done all their evil deeds?'

Now, Esdeath was walking in front of the million-strong army with a sword in her hand, her face cold-blooded and cruel, her smile filled with pleasure at the thought of ravaging the enemy. Behind her, millions of troops followed in neat steps. Every commander had excitement in their eyes. Each of the soldiers behind the commanders had fire in their eyes, and their smiles contained the madness of resisting the powerful.

"The whole army moves out!"

The sword in Esdeath's hand pointed in the direction of the nearest city. The millions of troops shouted in unison, and the sound seemed to disperse the clouds above their heads.

"Yes!"

Two days later.

Imperial Capital

Royal Palace

"It's not good, Minister Honest! Most of the cities in the southern province have been occupied by the forces of the 'An Ning Dao' and the God of Justice. Wherever they went, all the dignitaries of the empire were killed, and the soldiers guarding the city were either killed or incited to rebel!"

"Everywhere they go, all the people respond to their flag! Our people are completely unable to enter the city they control, and even if they enter, they are soon exposed by the public!

"I'm afraid that in less than three days, the entire southern province will be captured!"

"No, Minister Honest! Informants from the Northern Province are reporting! General Esdeath is leading an army of millions from the empire to attack the cities of the empire! Currently, provincial cities have been taken!"

"Not only that, the forces of the 'God of Justice' took over the city and killed the nobles of the empire! General Esdeath has betrayed the empire!"

"No, Minister Honest! The nobles from the southern provinces are fleeing towards the Imperial Capital..."

"Oh no, Minister Honest! The nobles of the northern provinces are fleeing towards the Imperial Capital!"

Honest's face was ashen and he was sweating profusely as he listened to the intelligence reports coming one after another in the past few days. There was absolutely no way he could hide this kind of information from the young emperor. Other civil servants who were against him had already bypassed him and brought the information to the emperor.

Fortunately, he usually deceived the young emperor by saying that the empire was now the most prosperous it had been in a thousand years, so the emperor did not fully believe the information. How could the most prosperous empire in thousands of years be on the verge of collapse? It was exactly what those ministers were making a fuss about. Now the emperor trusted him the most.

However, the most important thing at the moment was that the gods were really overthrowing the current empire. And depending on the situation, Esdeath had also been instigated to rebel, and she had brought an army of millions.

God, Esdeath, and all noble people wherever they went would be sentenced to death...

"The empire is done for. Even if it has the supreme imperial weapon, it is simply impossible to face the kind of god that oppresses the world!"

Honest paced with sweat dripping down his back, and his face became ferocious as he thought of something.

"Ah, by the way, since we can't stop it, then we can use the power that the empire still has to slow down its demise, and then quickly plunder the empire's wealth. When the empire falls, I can just go to the Western Kingdom. I will still be a rich nobleman by then."

"At least there will still be a young emperor when we attack the Imperial Capital. Then the Supreme Imperial Weapon will completely destroy the Imperial Capital. No one will know where I went."

Thinking of this, Honest quickly walked towards the main hall where the noisy court was ongoing and smiled grimly.

Little emperor, everyone should become the firewood for the last afterglow of this empire, hehehehe...
