"Are you going to the night raid again?"
Esdeath was tidying up her clothes as she spoke.
"Yes."
"Don't be jealous, you're definitely the main wife."
Lin Yi said with a smile. Esdeath has a different philosophy. For her, it's okay to speak her mind directly.
This country has a polygamous system anyway.
"Hmph."
Esdeath snorted coldly, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.
Lin Yi quickly guessed what she was thinking. She's probably looking for an opportunity to get rid of Mine and others.
"Don't do anything stupid."
Lin Yi reminded her as he helped to comb her blue long hair. "I'll be angry."
"I understand."
Esdeath glanced at Lin Yi, hesitated for a moment, and sighed.
Lin Yi nodded in relief.
Esdeath is not one to lie. If she feels unfairly treated, she wouldn't agree. She would directly use force to try to conquer Lin Yi and then get rid of Sheele, Mine, and others.
"Oh, by the way, there's something I should tell you."
Before leaving, Esdeath suddenly tapped her forehead and grinned. "Yesterday, the minister just impeached a key minister who is a supporter of the emperor because he touched on the minister's interests. After meeting with the minister, he even said he would send someone to get rid of him forever."
"Calculate it, it's probably already dangerous."
Lin Yi paused. He wanted to overthrow the minister. Such a subject could be very useful for him.
After the minister is overthrown, as long as he doesn't touch the little emperor's imperial power, he will naturally help manage the affairs of the state.
As for whether the little emperor will have rebellious thoughts when he grows up, Lin Yi can only say that, decades later, he might have already conquered countless worlds. A small emperor in a minor world, who doesn't have any military power, can't stir up any waves.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Lin Yi countered.
In response, Esdeath playfully tilted her chin towards Lin Yi and elegantly turned and walked away, waving her hand behind her back at Lin Yi.
"Outside the imperial city."
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched. He knew she was jealous and deliberately set him a difficult task to trouble him.
"Ah."
Lin Yi sighed.
Then his figure flashed, quickly disappearing from the spot.
Outside the imperial city.
On a rather hidden, winding path.
Several luxurious carriages traveled on it, surrounded by well-equipped, fully armed cavalry guards.
Inside the carriage.
"Damn minister, he's going to ruin this country. What on earth does he want to turn this country into!"
The middle-aged man who spoke, dressed in fine clothes, slapped the table in anger.
"Father, now is not the time for this. If you fall, then this country is truly beyond saving."
Beside the man, there was also a beautiful young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, elegantly decorated, like a porcelain doll.
The man who spoke was named Peter.
The girl was called Silvia.
Both were sitting in a carriage leaving the imperial city. Due to the late emperor's death and the young emperor's weakness, the minister directly took control of the entire country.
This forced the majority of loyal officials to take off their official hats and go into hiding.
Peter, a senior minister, faced such circumstances. As a veteran of the state, he was recently impeached for opposing the minister's opinions several times in court.
Knowing the minister's character, Peter considered the lives of his entire family and chose to leave the imperial city.
"Father, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Silvia said earnestly.
"Hahaha." Minister Peter laughed heartily, much cheered up, "My daughter, if you weren't a girl, you would certainly be a great general."
"But normally, you should still be a bit more restrained, be careful not to become unmarriageable."
"Father!"
Silvia's face turned red, she spoke in annoyance, "Can we not talk about things that are unrelated to the current situation?"
"Daughter... it's just... it's just... it's just that I haven't found a suitable match."
"If I do, I will pursue it earnestly."
"Hahaha." Minister Peter laughed loudly again.
Just when the mood had lightened a bit, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What happened?"
Minister Peter was taken aback, his face somewhat unpleasant. He lifted the curtain of the car window and found that the horse team had been stopped by three people.
"Are they bandits?"
Silvia spoke with doubt.
"Hmph, this is the imperial capital. To think that there are bandits even in a place like this, this country is beyond saving."
Minister Peter spoke indignantly.
"Resolve the battle quickly. I can't be at ease for a day if we don't leave the imperial capital." Minister Peter shook his head, recalling his furious demeanor in the court.
"Yes."
Silvia got out of the carriage herself and began directing the soldiers to meet the enemy.
However, what they didn't know was that these bandits were not ordinary ones; they were the three beast warriors under General Esdeath of the imperial capital.
Although they are said to be under Esdeath, they actually take orders from the Minister.
The three beast warriors are:
Liver, Brand's former superior, a former imperial general who was both wise and brave. His imperial arms is "Black Marlin," an accessory made from the organs of water-dwelling creatures that control water flow. Its secret technique is "Blade of Blood," which uses one's own blood as a weapon.
Nyau, a petite cross-dressing youth born into a prestigious family, cold-hearted and ruthless, enjoys dissecting small animals, has a fetish for collecting female faces, and likes to peel off the skin of his enemies.
His imperial arm is the "Scream," a flute that can freely manipulate the emotions of the audience. Although it is known for inspiring morale on the battlefield, it can actually manipulate dozens of emotions, but repeated listening will build resistance to the melody. The secret technique is "Advent of Fierce God," which enhances himself through performance.
Daidara, a battle enthusiast who enjoys fighting strong opponents to improve his experience level.
His imperial arm is "Belvaac," a pair of large axes that can only be wielded by those with extraordinary arm strength. The corresponding attack power is also extremely strong. It can be separated into two axes and thrown out. As long as there is strength, it can track the enemy.
The three are well-known strongmen in the imperial capital, not to be underestimated.
"Do not underestimate them," Minister Peter instructed.
"Yes."
Silvia nodded. The other side had only three people but dared to block the convoy, so they must be confident. She therefore would not underestimate them and began directing the soldiers to adopt the most stable strategy, defeating them one by one.
The cavalry began to move.
"Hahaha, experience, it's all about experience. Let me do it."
Among the three, the robust man suddenly burst into loud laughter, charging into the encirclement by himself. He carried two strange large axes on his back, his figure huge.
