She stepped onto the long table, leaped up from it, and slashed at the woman's head with her sword.
Faced with this fierce attack, the woman initially wanted to take a step back.
However, at that moment, she caught a glimpse of Lu Ye, who had been squatting in the corner for a long time.
Then, for some reason, she stopped retreating and instead raised her finger at Kurohime...
No, to be precise, she raised her finger at the knife in Kurohime's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the indoor temperature plummeted!
To his surprise, Kurohime discovered that the knife in her hand had been frozen!
Chapter 228 Meeting the Emperor
Even so, Kuroko still resolutely slashed at the woman.
This is a mental inertia resulting from her years of training.
Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.
The blade sliced through the solid ice, but its speed was slightly slowed down as a result.
The woman seized the opportunity, dodging the attack while grabbing Black Eyes' wrist, disarming him, and then delivering an over-the-shoulder throw!
"Is this the Imperial Arms - Yatsufusa?"
Looking at the knife in her hand, the woman chuckled softly, a hint of pleasure in her voice, "Its sharpness truly lives up to its reputation."
One person subdued four members of the "Hunter" in just a few dozen seconds.
This surprised everyone.
Surprised as they were, Will and the others were Teigu users.
Most of their power comes from Imperial Arms.
Faced with this unknown individual with a strong desire to attack, Will and the others are preparing to use their Imperial Arms.
But at that moment, the woman threw the Imperial Arms "March of the Dead: Eight Houses" back to Kurome.
She then removed the stone mask, revealing a face that was absolutely stunning.
Polus was taken aback.
As a member of the incineration unit, he instantly recognized the woman in front of him.
That appearance, and the ability to create ice...
"—General Esdeath!"
……
Several pairs of footsteps echoed in the wide corridor.
A group of hunters dressed in formal attire were on their way to the palace.
"What, did the farce just now scare you?" Esdeath said. "I just found a regular welcome rather boring."
"Although I haven't been in the capital for long, I think I've already gotten used to this rough and ready style of doing things."
Will rubbed his lower back, which had just been bumped.
Esdeath had held back, preventing everyone from getting hurt, but the force still caused Will a sharp pain in his back.
“We should be thanking you for your guidance,” Polus said respectfully.
This is his true feeling.
After he finished speaking, he glanced discreetly at Lu Ye, Dr., and the Fashion Doctor.
In the battle just now, only these two people did not make a move.
Polus wasn't blaming them for not acting sooner; he just felt it was a pity.
Being able to fight Esdeath is an extremely rare experience for a warrior, and it can be very beneficial.
On the other hand, after the probing battle just now, Lu Ye also gained a new understanding of Esdeath.
She is known as the strongest in the capital, and this reputation is well-deserved. Even without relying on Imperial Arms, she possesses considerable strength.
Although she used her ice-making ability when dealing with Kurome's Teigu, Lu Ye knew that Esdeath could have taken a step back then and achieved the same effect.
What an unyielding woman!
Or was she trying to intimidate her new subordinate?
“Although one person hasn’t arrived yet, it doesn’t matter. After we pay our respects to His Majesty, let’s go have a party,” Esdeath said.
"An audience with... His Majesty?" Will was quite surprised.
“Of course, troublesome things are best resolved as quickly as possible,” Esdeath said.
Lu Ye's attention was clearly not on the matter of meeting the emperor.
"Um... General, you said there should have been one more person?"
Esdeath glanced at Lu Ye, and after a moment of silence, said, "That's right, that person's name is Seryu. I think he was a member of the Imperial Capital Guard, but he seems to have disappeared recently. As the captain of the guard, do you have anything to say?"
“Serius hasn’t disappeared, she’s just on leave,” Lu Ye said. “She went to the countryside for some personal reasons and won’t be back for a month. The relevant paperwork has been completed, and I can send it over if you need proof.”
Lu Ye was not lying.
Although the Imperial Capital has very strict regulations for the management of Imperial Arms Users.
However, once the relevant procedures are completed, there will be no problem.
As the captain of the security team, Lu Ye naturally had this authority.
He knew that Seleu would attract attention after leaving the guard, so he prepared these things in advance.
Upon hearing this, Esdeath said nothing more and led the group onward.
A few minutes later, the heavy golden door in front of them slowly opened.
Heavy armored guards stood ready on both sides of the road, holding long spears.
A red cashmere carpet stretched out in front of me.
Esdeath knelt on one knee beneath the throne and then removed her white military cap.
Even she had to be humble and subservient when facing that small figure on the stage.
The other members of the hunter squad also knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"General, please look up."
The young voice reached everyone's ears.
"Then, what do you have to report to me?"
"Your Majesty, an organization targeting those assassins has been established. Give me a little more time, and I will be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, before that, I need your permission to grant me and my team sufficient authority to move freely within the capital."
"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, General."
The young emperor stretched out his hand, and a dark figure immediately handed him the imperial seal and parchment.
Signature and seal.
With a single decree, this document became the privilege of the "hunters".
After handing out the parchment, the young emperor suddenly looked at the tall figure beside him.
That enormous shadow, almost leaning against the throne...
The young emperor sat on the throne, looking up at the people beside him.
"Minister, is this alright?"
“Of course… His Majesty’s decision is truly brilliant.” Ernest’s voice muttered, as if he were chewing on something. “With General Esdeath’s assistance, His Majesty can rest easy in time. Without those pests, the capital will continue to prosper.”
"Yes, I believe you. After all, you've never been wrong."
Hearing this conversation, Lu Ye, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't hold back anymore.
It seems the rumors are true.
This emperor listened to his ministers' advice without question.
It's an excellent gun; it hits exactly where you point it.
However, Lu Ye also understood to some extent.
The person on the throne was less of an emperor and more of a little kid.
Whether it was the diamond-encrusted crown and heavy robes, or the scepter representing power and status, they were all far too heavy for the child. Given his height, where his legs barely touched the ground when he sat on the throne, it was wishful thinking to expect him to have any discernment.
This emperor is probably not even ten years old...
Most importantly, her hair was still a refreshing green...
Your family line is likely to end!
In short, Lu Ye had completely positioned this young emperor as a tool in the hands of his ministers.
After getting what you need,
Esdeath and the Emperor exchanged some more pleasantries.
“Then, please allow us to take our leave.” Esdeath bowed.
"Congratulations on your triumphant return, General Esdeath."
Esdeath stood up, put on her military cap, and turned to leave.
The others quickly followed suit.
However, just as he stepped out of the palace gate, a figure walked towards him.
He was a tall, burly man clad in a suit of mithril armor. He had neatly styled blond hair and a sharply defined face, his expression meticulous, and the aura emanating from him seemed to suffocate one.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Esdeath."
The man nodded slightly to Esdeath, but did not stop, and walked straight into the palace.
