Chapter 142 Esdeth's plot
In the resplendent palace hall, the little puppet emperor controlled by Minister Ernest summoned Esdeth who had returned from the northern battlefield.
"General Esdes, your action to suppress the rebellion of the alien race in the north is really wonderful, and you are indeed one of the two pillars of the empire."
Looking at Esdes who was half kneeling under the hall, the little emperor announced excitedly: "As a reward, I am going to give you 1 taels of gold."
"Thank you very much. I will distribute it to the soldiers stationed on the northern border to defend against the enemy. I think they will be very happy to be rewarded by His Majesty."
Estes saluted, accepted the reward from the little emperor, and donated the huge sum of money to the ordinary soldiers under him without hesitation.
Estes has no interest in foreign things such as politics, power, and money. His only pursuit is to be able to gallop on the battlefield and ravage the enemy.
Therefore, Minister Ernest exchanged Esdeth's support for him on the condition that "after taking control of the country, she can launch wars as she pleases", and was able to successfully obtain the current position of power.
After thanking you, Estes raised his head, with a look of interest in his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, since I have returned to the imperial capital, I will definitely eradicate the night raids that disturb your majesty's sleep."
"Thank you, General Estes."
For such a "loyal" general, the little emperor was very moved, and then asked: "Besides gold, I want to reward the general with other things, do you have anything else you want?"
"Is that so..."
After thinking for a while with his head tilted, Estes replied, "If I have to say one thing... I want to fall in love."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was taken aback, looking at Esdesh in disbelief.
Because in everyone's impression, Esdeth has always been a bloodthirsty and warlike killing god, which made them subconsciously ignore her as a woman.
After a brief silence, the little emperor broke the awkward atmosphere with a dry smile, and recommended Minister Ernest to Esthers.She refused without hesitation.
"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, but Your Excellency has high blood pressure, and I am afraid that time is numbered."
Esdesi refused without hesitation, and said bluntly: "I am very picky about my preferences. I am afraid it will be difficult to find someone I like. After that, I will write a formal document and present it to Your Majesty."
……
"I have a new order to issue now, Three Beast Warriors."
After the little emperor's summoning was over, Esdes summoned his subordinates "Three Beast Warriors" in the mansion, and issued orders to them for the night attack.
"Please give me your orders no matter what, Mr. Estes."
"The three of us are loyal servants of Lord Esdeath."
"No matter when and where, we will go through fire and water."
The three beast warriors who knelt on one knee immediately expressed their loyalty to Esdeth upon hearing the words.
"Very good," Estes looked at the Three Beast Warriors with satisfaction, and ordered, "Your task is to get rid of these people on the list, and then blame it on the night attack."
"Follow your orders."
Liwa, the oldest among the three beast warriors, took the list with both hands respectfully, and then left with the other two to carry out Esdeth's order.
……
A few days later, the meeting hall of the base was attacked at night.
"Now I have two bad news to announce. First, Esdeth has successfully suppressed the alien races in the north and returned to the imperial capital."
When Estes' name was mentioned, Najieta's face was a little dignified, and she involuntarily touched the right eye that had been crippled by the other party.
"Esdes."
"The No. [-] General S in that imperial capital"
"Has the rebellion been put down so quickly?"
After hearing the news brought by Najieta, the expressions of Chitong and the others suddenly became solemn.
As the youngest and strongest general in the entire empire, Esdeth's strength and record are too terrifying, and to some extent, she is the biggest obstacle for the revolutionary army to overthrow the empire.
"Esdes. I'm really looking forward to it."
There was a fighting intent in Yunkong's eyes. Among the Teigu envoys in the Zhantong world, only Esdeth, who has the ability to freeze time and space, is worth fighting.
Najieta lit a cigarette, her eyes fell on Leonai, and she arranged: "Leonai, you are in charge of going to the imperial capital to investigate Esdeth's movements."
"Understood, Boss."
Leonai nodded with a smile, and accepted the task with great enthusiasm.
Then, Najieta announced the second bad news.
"After Esdeth returned, civil servants were murdered one after another in the imperial capital. There are currently four civil servants and a large number of guards killed."
Najie Xitan took out a leaflet with a night attack pattern, and continued: "It is worth noting that this leaflet with a night attack pattern was left at the murder scene, obviously trying to blame us for the night attack. .”
"All the victims were equipped with first-class guards, so only people who are as strong as us can do it. Combined with the time when Esdeth returned to the imperial capital, the murderer should be her guy called the 'Three Beast Warriors'. "
As the leader of the night attack, Najta possesses great courage and strategy, and judges the opponent's true identity through various clues.
"What is the purpose of Estes?" Chitong looked at Najieta with a puzzled expression, "Is it just to slander our reputation for night raids?"
"Do not."
Yun Kong shook his head, and explained for Najieta: "Esdeth's purpose is to use these means to force us to show up, so that we can catch us all!"
"Yun Kong is right. The civil servants killed now are all very capable and courageous people who are worried about the country. They are indispensable talents in overthrowing the empire and building a new country in the future."
Najieta took a deep puff on her cigarette, and said helplessly, "So even if we know this is a trap set by the other party, we still have to take action. Do you have any other opinions?"
Regarding Najieta's decision, everyone has no objection. After all, with the identity and position of Night Raider, he will fight against the opponent sooner or later, but now it is a little earlier.
"Since everyone agrees, let's teach them the rules of killers and let them know what will happen if they pretend to be someone else at will."
Najie Xitan had already stood up from her chair, and arranged: "Based on the target of the victim, there are three groups of civil servants who may be attacked next, so we have to divide into three teams to protect them. If we encounter people pretending to be us , shoot to kill!"
In the next group, Yunkong and Brand were in a group, Main and Xier were in a group, Chitong, Lubbock and Tazmi were in a group.
Because Yunkong knew the plot, when choosing the target to protect, he deliberately chose the target that would be attacked by the three beast warriors.
The next day, Yunkong and Brand went to the target together, which was the large luxury passenger ship that was moored in the outskirts of the imperial capital and was about to sail away—the dragon boat.
