The person isn't too bad.
Lin Yi doesn't plan to reveal his system space for now, so he just calmly accepts it.
Otherwise, he had just been searched, and immediately pulled out a bunch of supplies. He wouldn't be able to explain that.
"Forget it, I owe you one."
Lin Yi murmured to himself. The squad leader doesn't know that because of a piece of clothing and a bowl of hot soup, his future will be prosperous.
Lin Yi changed into the clothes. The army uniform is indeed much warmer.
"Who is your general?"
A female general, Lin Yi is quite curious, feeling that he might find some clues about this world.
"Shh, General Esdeath doesn't like others talking about her behind her back."
The squad leader said hastily as if facing a great enemy.
"Esdeath?"
Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment. An image quickly emerged in his mind, constantly overlapping with the blue-haired general he saw earlier. He suddenly smiled with relief.
"So it's her. No wonder she has such a strong aura."
Now, Lin Yi has completely understood this world, it's the world of Akame Ga Kill.
At this moment, Lin Yi's mind enters the system space, looking at the task coordinates inside, collecting task (0/15).
He frowned slightly, wondering why there were fifteen.
Realizing its world, he immediately thought of the 24 Imperial Arms and started to ponder.
(Imperial Arms = Teigu)
Fortunately, the system provided an answer.
"The birth of the Teigu has been over a thousand years. Time has passed, and many Teigus have been completely lost and destroyed over the years."
"Some Teigus are one-time use and cannot be obtained again. The host only needs to grasp most of the Teigus to stabilize the coordinates."
Lin Yi nodded, understanding.
For example, Esdeath's Teigu, the Demon's Extract, is a cup of blood wine.
Since it had already been drunk by Esdeath, it no longer exists.
"Alright, General Esdeath usually has a cold face, but she seems to have a good impression of you. I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
The squad leader patted Lin Yi's shoulder, thinking he had been scared silly.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
In the army, things are naturally kept simple. What's referred to as "treating someone to a drink" actually just means setting up a bunch of bonfires and grilling some meat.
This squad leader even made an exception by getting a few liters of malt beer from the military supplies, spending a lot of money.
In this snowy weather, alcohol is a great thing.
Even with only basic salt as a seasoning, Lin Yi found the food delicious. The hot grilled meat in the snow is the most delicious food.
However, just as Lin Yi and the squad leader were chatting and enjoying their meal, a threat suddenly appeared.
With the sound of something breaking through the air, an object targeted the back of Lin Yi's head. Lin Yi was indeed caught off guard. By the time he reacted, it was too late to dodge, and he could only turn around to grab it.
In that split second, the squad leader didn't even know what had happened. When he realized it, he noticed that Lin Yi had been ambushed.
The arrow that Lin Yi tightly held in his hand was only a few centimeters from his eyes.
A moment slower, and he would have undoubtedly died.
"Assassin!"
The squad leader exclaimed in horror. However, as soon as he finished shouting, he stopped abruptly and swallowed his words.
Because the attacker was dressed in blue military attire, looking majestic. It was Esdeath, who had appeared during the day.
Esdeath was playing with a few crossbow arrows in her right hand. Clearly, she had launched the previous attack, not with a crossbow, but by using her arm strength to throw them.
Regardless of speed and power, it surpassed a powerful crossbow.
No wonder she's the pinnacle of combat in this world, Lin Yi thought, shaking his slightly numb hand.
"General Esdeath, that wasn't a funny joke."
Lin Yi said calmly, unsure of the woman's intentions, but the attack on him was real.
"I was just testing what happened during the day. It seems you really can do it." Esdeath smirked, as if she had found an interesting toy. She casually threw away the arrows in her hand, speaking with a smile.
"If I hadn't reacted in time, I might not be standing here now."
Lin Yi shook his head.
"That would mean you're a liar."
Esdeath was unconcerned.
At this moment, soldiers who heard the squad leader's call arrived, but Esdeath waved them away.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding. Continue your posts."
"Yes."
When Esdeath speaks, the soldiers naturally don't dare to question and hurriedly retreat.
When everyone left, Esdeath suddenly asked, "I haven't had dinner yet. Mind if I join?"
Before Lin Yi could answer, the squad leader nervously said, "General, as long as you don't mind its simplicity."
Lin Yi shrugged, as he wasn't the host of the meal.
"I admire the strong. Consider this drink as my apology." Surprisingly, after sitting down, Esdeath took a drink from a nearby cup and downed it in one gulp.
Drops of alcohol trickled down her neck.
"General, you can really drink."
The matter was settled.
Lin Yi complimented.
"You're an interesting man. How about a fight? If you win, I'll appoint you as the deputy commander in the army."
Esdeath casually threw away the empty cup, speaking cheerfully.
Esdeath, leading the army outside to conquer foreign tribes, had absolute authority in the army. The capital city tried to infiltrate spies into her ranks, but Esdeath paid them no mind and did as she pleased.
"I'm not interested in that position," Lin Yi shook his head, "Especially knowing the power of General Esdeath's Imperial Arms. I wouldn't want to challenge that."
"It's no big deal; I won't use the Imperial Arms."
Esdeath was confident, especially after seeing Lin Yi catch the arrow she threw.
"As for what you want, just ask."
"Then I want a promise from General Esdeath. How about that?" Lin Yi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"A promise?"
Esdeath raised an eyebrow.
"Exactly, a promise. As for what it is, I haven't decided yet. If I win, you owe me." Lin Yi spread his hands, "After all, my chances of winning are slim."
"Alright, I promise. But if you lose, you'll have to stay in the army."
Esdeath was very excited, immediately ordering the squad leader to call the soldiers over, light torches, and illuminate the entire square.
Ers, the squad leader, was a kind-hearted person.
He took the opportunity when Esdeath wasn't looking to pull Lin Yi aside and whispered some instructions.
