Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Not only Lan, but all the team members were surprised.

Why would the mighty "Shield of the Empire" end up here?

Bud slowly scanned the people present, and then he took heavy steps and went straight to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye thought to herself, "This is bad."

While eating, he was still worried about this matter and wondered if the Murphy effect was real or not.

Very well, it seems to be true now.

"Lu Ye, do you know your crime?" Bud spoke, his deep voice like a muffled drum.

"What's the crime?"

A cold voice came from behind.

The speaker was not Lu Ye, but Esdeath.

She sat in the chair, fork on her hand, but her gaze beneath the brim of her hat suddenly turned cold.

Upon hearing the captain's words, apart from Lu Ye and Dr. Fashion, the rest of the team members immediately stood up and surrounded Bud.

Dr. Fashion didn't participate because, as a support character, he doesn't have any real fighting ability.

Unlike before, the team members are now ready with their Imperial Arms.

In other words, even excluding Esdeath and Lu Ye, Bud is currently facing a total of four Teigu users. Although Dr. Fashion cannot fight them head-on, he can still hide in the back and secretly heal his teammates.

"What, as a soldier, you want to lay a hand on me, the supreme commander?" Bud's resolute face showed no fear.

This is a blatant threat.

But everyone stood still, and not one of them backed down.

“Very good,” Bud said with an approving look, his thick hand gripping the hilt of his sword. “Now…you can die.”

With a flash of light, Bud made his move.

That sword strike was swift and unstoppable; even Lu Ye, who was skilled in swordsmanship, dared not guarantee that he could block it.

No one was hurt, because Bud's blade was covered with a layer of ice.

It was ice that "grew" from the ground like a plant, wrapping around Bud's knife like an octopus's tentacles, forcing it off its original attack trajectory.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and Esdeath undoubtedly used her "ice" ability to stop Bud's attack.

"Bud, what are you doing to my men?" Esdeath's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Bud's behavior has crossed her bottom line.

If it weren't for the other party's identity, she would have already killed him.

"As soldiers, our duty is to obey orders. Their actions constitute a capital offense. General Esdeath, without rules there is no order. Such people may be a dangerous factor that threatens the capital."

"is it?"

Esdeath took a piece of parchment from her bosom.

Bud took the paper and immediately frowned.

"This is……"

"A decree personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor," Esdeath said coldly. "If you understand it, then get out of here."

"I see."

Bud understood.

The "Hunter" team is very special.

Their direct superiors were neither the capital city nor Bude, who controlled the capital city's military.

—But it's Esdeath!

There are actually groups that don't obey the capital, which is unprecedented in the history of the capital.

But just now, Esdeath set a precedent.

The precedent is this parchment in her hand.

“But General Esdeath… As the captain of the guard, Lu Ye neglected his duties, which led to the explosion in the capital a few days ago and caused unrest among the people. He should be punished.”

"Oh, dereliction of duty, is that it?" Esdeath laughed. "Then, so many days have passed since the explosion, why are you only now dealing with this matter?"

"General Esdeath, what do you mean?" Bud narrowed his eyes slightly.

Esdeath stood up and walked around to Bud's side.

"Then let me ask you, where were you on the night of the explosion in the capital?"

Bud fell silent.

“What, is it that you can’t say, or is it that… you neglected your duties?” Esdeath said. “That’s strange. Your superiors didn’t react that night, but now that the truth has come out, you’re making your subordinates take the blame… You’re not qualified as a general or as a man.”

“You misunderstand, General. These past few days I’ve been dealing with new dangerous species around the capital. As the captain of the garrison, protecting the capital is also his duty. For those who neglect their duties, I must cut off their arm.”

As Bud said this, he jerked his arm, and all the ice on his sword peeled off.

Esdeath also drew her sword, a cold smile on her face.

"As expected, it's more effective to demonstrate things through battle than through words."

“Without rules, there can be no order, General Esdeath.” Bud did not back down at all.

The members of the hunter squad were a little apprehensive.

How could they have imagined that their first battle after joining the organization would be against the mighty General of the capital?

Tensions were high between the two sides.

Just when it looked like a fight was about to break out,

Two freshly cooked meat skewers were suddenly thrust in front of Bud and Esdeath, emitting a wonderful aroma.

Everyone else was shocked.

Because the one who dared to extend the meat skewers in front of the two generals of the capital was none other than Lu Ye!

Dr. Fashion couldn't help but sigh.

Borus was wearing a mask, so his expression was not visible, but it was clear from his blank movements that he had lost his mind.

Will's face turned pale. Fighting General Bud was already enough to give him trouble, and now Lu Ye was jumping out, waving a skewer of meat in front of him... wasn't he just asking for death?

Even the gentle Lan couldn't help but let a bead of sweat trickle down her forehead.

Only Kuroko looked towards the table when she saw the meat skewers, but she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to eat a skewer at this time, so she simply took a biscuit from her small bag and secretly stuffed it into her mouth.

Esdeath glanced at Lu Ye, then opened her mouth and bit into the skewer.

At the same time, she lowered her hand, proving that she no longer had the desire to fight.

"What do you mean?" Bud asked, puzzled.

"General, from what you're saying, it's because I neglected my duties and failed to protect the capital that I'm being punished, right?"

Bud nodded.

"What if I said I didn't neglect my duties, but instead got entangled with the thieves?"

"Do you think I'd believe your one-sided account?!"

"Then General, you might as well ask the minister how it went, because on the night of the bombing, I was attacked by the horse-headed one of the four Rakshasa demons."

"You mean, the minister wants to kill you?" Bud narrowed his eyes.

"No, he didn't want to kill me. His real intention was to find the Imperial Arms on my body."

“Behead Zank,” Bud said.

"That's right. That Imperial Arm originally belonged to Zank the Decapitator, but when I killed him, I didn't find the Imperial Arm on him. At that time, I discovered the horse head and it started attacking me, so I couldn't get to the scene immediately after the explosion. When I returned, I was also drugged and interrogated by the Minister... You can ask the Minister for verification. Of course, I'm not asking you to do this, I just don't want to die without knowing the truth. If we really want to hold someone accountable... then I can only be ranked last, the Minister who sent people to follow me should be ranked first."

Bud fell silent, then the tip of his sword slowly descended.

Indeed, if what Lu Ye said is true, then the responsibility does not lie entirely with him.

Let's consult the minister first.

"I apologize for my rudeness until the matter is clarified tonight. I apologize for the inconvenience caused tonight."

He said this to Esdeath.

But the latter completely ignored him, still chewing.

After saying that, Bud made a move to leave.

But Lu Ye called out to him, extending the meat skewers in her hand.

"It won't taste good when it's cold."

Looking at the still-steaming meat skewers, Bud was silent for a moment, but finally accepted them.

Chapter 231 Help Wipe Your Mouth

"Well done."

On a lazy afternoon, sunlight streamed quietly through the gaps in the leaves.

After Bud left, Lu Ye was called to the shade of a tree in the backyard by Esdeath.

“Your fabricated story has convinced him somewhat. Bud will definitely go to the minister to verify it. I have already sent someone to deliver the message to the minister before that. He will cooperate with us. In this way, the matter will be resolved, and you don’t need to worry about the bombing anymore.”

"No... I didn't make that up at all, every word was true." Lu Ye muttered, "But Captain, why are you so sure the minister will listen to you? Wasn't what I just said very disadvantageous to him?"

“Bud is an old-fashioned man. I’m not very close to him, but I know him well. In short, he’s the type of person I hate,” Esdeath said. “The minister and I share common interests, so he would never refuse if I asked him for help.”

"I see."

Lu Ye roughly understood, but soon he noticed something else.

"But given General Bud's temperament, could he possibly do something detrimental to the ministers?"

"Is it just my imagination? You seem to be looking forward to it..." Esdeath didn't dwell on it and explained, "Budd wouldn't lay a hand on a minister. He has always followed the ancestral rule that 'military generals should not interfere in politics.' Even if he were to target a minister, the crime of the bombing wouldn't warrant the minister's death."

Lu Ye finally understood.
