Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Listening to Sebastian's words, Alice nodded with emotion and said earnestly, "Your Highness! Everything is truly prepared. Everything is ready! Now, whatever the outcome, that is the most important thing."

"Ok!"

Listening to Alice's words, Sebastian also said seriously, "We absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur. My wife and I must handle everything well, help His Highness protect Noxus in this turbulent era, and make Noxus grow stronger."

"Ok!"

The couple both nodded seriously.

It’s just!

Unbeknownst to the couple, every single maid around them remained remarkably calm, silently watching them with a cold glint in their eyes. These maids were all trained by Esdeath and Joel.

They were all qualified assassins, but! They never did anything normally, because they simply didn't need to. For them, their only task was to watch over Sebastian and Alice.

besides?!

Everything else is straightforward and requires no explanation! This husband and wife, though loyal butler and maid, are also unstable X-factors. Therefore, they must be closely monitored, and no problems are allowed, not even the slightest one. If a problem arises, the consequences will be fatal. Therefore, they must be kept under close watch.

……

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

Esdeath rode an ice horse, followed by hundreds of heavy cavalrymen in dark blue armor. They rode water horses, also heavily armored, as they galloped across the sea, and an island appeared before them.

"Humph!"

Esdeath's lips curled into a smile, and she said confidently, "It begins!"

"Yes!"

Click!

Click!

All the heavy cavalrymen donned their masks, and Esdeath drew her rapier from her waist with one hand, proudly declaring, "Gentlemen! Come! Crush our opponents, slay them all, and plunder their treasures—that is our objective!"

"Yes!"

With loud shouts, hundreds of heavy cavalrymen followed Esdeath and launched a charge at an incredibly fast speed.

"What is that?"

"That is……"

"not good!"

"quick!"

When the patrolling soldiers discovered the attack, it was too late! Esdeath and her men were moving too fast, at an unimaginable speed, and the first wave of the attack was over in a very short time.

But!

One salvo is enough.

One hour!

war!

In just half an hour, Esdeath, with a hundred cavalrymen, almost swept through the country—a force of over 100,000 soldiers! But in front of these hundred men, they were utterly insignificant.

Again!

Their training cost is close to 100 billion Pele. Do you really think that money was wasted?

Hehehe~~~

Stop it!

That's completely meaningless. These billions of Pele have already proven just how amazing their status, their abilities, and their identities are in every aspect, especially their strength! It can be said that they have received an extremely terrifying boost.

Therefore!

Esdeath dared to lead a hundred riders directly to the North Sea, which is the mighty North Sea! It is known as the most powerful sea among the four seas. Since Esdeath dared to do such a thing, it proves just how amazing the preparations she made were.

And that is Esdeath's ability, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

"snort!"

A confident smile appeared on Esdeath's face, her posture filled with arrogance. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at the king before her and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, obediently hand over all the treasures, Devil Fruits, and supplies, and then! Everything will end here. Otherwise..."

"Hehehe~~~"

A smile appeared on her face, but the danger gleaming in Esdeath's eyes instilled endless fear in those who saw it.

This is no joke!

It is no exaggeration to say that true, heartfelt, and soul-deep fear is the kind of fear that is most intense.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The king nodded hastily and cautiously. He really didn't dare to refuse. This woman's ruthlessness was no joke. If you didn't obey, she really wouldn't show any mercy.

"very good."

Esdeath wore an arrogant expression, her smile sharp, while Akame and Yoru seemed to have vanished.

only!

After taking everything with them, the two women reappeared. Seeing that they made no move, Esdeath shouted, "Next target!"

"Yes!"

"General!"

The soldiers' eyes gleamed with fanaticism, not adoration, but genuine fervor of loyalty. These soldiers had become Esdeath's fanatics; to them, Esdeath was their master.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Therefore!

Even if Esdeath ordered them to attack Eren, they wouldn't hesitate for a second.

It can be said!

Why have powerful generals and commanders throughout history always met with tragic ends? The reason is actually very simple! Because they simply couldn't continue living—that's beyond doubt! When soldiers only recognize their generals and commanders, not their king.

Hehehe~~ Number~

By then, wouldn't that be like a joke?

Therefore!

This is absolutely forbidden, and since it is forbidden, then... much of what follows is self-evident.

But!

The difference is that Esdeath is absolutely loyal to Locke, and because of this, Locke doesn't care about these things. Otherwise, even Locke would have to consider them, as would Sebastian and Alice. Of course, Locke knows about Esdeath's actions.

But the same!

I know, I know, but I won't deny it, and the reason is very simple! It's what we should do!

Chapter 81: Takamagahara - The Three Gods: Najenda

Esdeath's hundred riders charged into the North Sea.

hmm~~~

In just a few days.

Esdeath's reputation resounded throughout the entire sea. Everyone was stunned and incredulous. No one could have imagined that Esdeath could accomplish something so astonishing. It was completely unimaginable how terrifying this was, or even how she managed to do it.

only!

Whether one could have imagined it or not, the fact remains that Esdeath did indeed accomplish this, sweeping through twelve countries in the North Sea in just three to five days.

This resounded throughout the North Sea, and many countries did indeed want revenge, but! Faced with the chaos caused by the Rocks Pirates, they had no time to consider such matters.

It can be said!

The situation in Beihai was truly unimaginable and incredibly shocking. However! Regarding these matters...

Although Locke knew, he remained calm.

That's that sentence...

Many people are unaware of Esdeath's abilities, but it would be very strange if you didn't know them. As I said before, Esdeath is not only a prodigy, but also possesses extremely terrifying power.

The most crucial part is right here.

Esdeath possesses terrifying abilities, especially in training and honing her troops. It's no joke that she has reached an astonishing, even unparalleled, level of skill.

for this situation.

Locke felt completely calm and at ease; it was perfectly understandable. Wasn't this the standard situation? Given Esdeath's abilities, doing this was entirely a matter of course.

Anyway!

Locke found it very simple and calm; it was completely a matter of course. This ability? It didn't need any further explanation.
