Zhu Moye hugged Mayin from behind, slapped her on the butt, and said viciously: "You girl, how dare you tease me!"
Snapped!
After saying that, Zhu Moye slapped him again.
"what……"
Mayin's eyes were filled with tears, but she still said proudly, "No... I just came here to accompany you. Are you unhappy? After all, I am your girlfriend. You should feel honored. Thank you, Mayin!"
"Little girl, you're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you?"
Zhu Moye held Mayin in his arms and kissed her lips hard, constantly plundering the saliva in her mouth... evil thoughts suddenly came to him. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he whispered in Mayin's ear: "I'll punish you differently tonight!"
"What kind of punishment... ah, it hurts!"
Marin asked with a blush, suddenly feeling that her high ground had been broken.
Chapter 344 Wild Hound
The capital welcomed the first snow of the winter, and the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius. Winter had arrived far too early this year, and many civilians hadn't yet stockpiled enough winter supplies, causing them to worry.
I don’t know if I can survive this winter?
All the civilians in the imperial capital looked at the winter snow outside. There were still many poor people sleeping on the streets, shivering. Their eyes fell on the black bread on their desks and they sighed, fearing that those homeless poor people would not survive this winter.
I don’t know how many people will starve and die in this harsh weather.
the other side.
The residence of Chancellor Ernest.
The room was very warm, and all kinds of steaming delicacies were placed on the table.
Minister Ernest devoured meat and drank wine with gusto, truly living up to the poetic line: "The rich feast on wine, while the poor freeze on the streets." He glanced at his son, Sheila, and sighed, "This cold weather is unbearable. I've been so overwhelmed by so many troubles lately, it's almost impossible to breathe. There's the Tianming Sect, the Anning Dao, and now, because of winter, most of the Western tribes are short of food, causing unrest. They're constantly invading the empire, seizing supplies to take back for the winter... I've gained a lot of weight recently due to the stress."
"Hahaha... Dad, you just ate too much, so that's why you gained weight!"
Silla crossed her legs and laughed loudly, "If you can eat less, Dad, maybe you can lose weight."
"That's because the gifts you brought are so delicious. I can't stop eating them."
Minister Ernest, biting into a piece of barbecue, asked, "Although we should let this adorable child travel...but where have you been all these years? Outside the Empire?!"
"I've traveled a lot over the years. In this world... I've discovered that the Empire is still the most advanced, while the rest of the world is still quite backward. Whether it's the southern islands or the frozen lands of the north... they're so backward they don't even have iron cannons."
Silla picked up a glass of red wine, shook it, and smiled disdainfully.
"If we were to compare this to the Empire's civilization alone, the Western Kingdom would probably be the strongest, right?"
Minister Ernest raised his head, glanced at Sheila, and swallowed a mouthful of meat.
"Yes, it's interesting to have a unique culture like alchemy. However, it's a pity that I didn't go to the country known as the Eastern Uncivilized Land... That country is too mysterious, full of extremely dangerous species, and very dangerous. Besides, I don't know the general route... I hope to visit that country in my lifetime. That would be a great idea."
Silla said with some regret.
"Have you completed the task I assigned to you? How many useful talents have you found?"
Minister Ernest glanced at Sheila. When he heard her mention the mysterious country in the East, his eyes flashed a little. However, it quickly disappeared and he asked instead.
"Dad, I completed the mission perfectly."
"Hoo ho!"
Minister Ernest laughed strangely.
"Let me introduce you, Dad!"
Silla stood up and pointed at the dozen or so men trembling in fear in the square outside the window, and shouted, "Hey, little bugs, if you keep going like this, you might be beheaded. How about I play a game with you! If you can defeat the five men over there, you will be pardoned and receive a corresponding reward. Of course, you can all come together!"
After that, Silla gestured to the other five people.
The five men understood. A swordsman stepped forward, patted his sword, and hooked his finger at the dozen men. He said coldly, "Come on, come together! My Jiang Xue hasn't tasted blood in a long time."
"Damn it, that guy underestimated me."
"Let's do it! If you keep going like this, you'll freeze to death sooner or later!"
"Okay, let's fight!"
More than a dozen men armed with weapons attacked fiercely.
"goodbye!"
The swordsman drew his sword and rushed forward... In just one second, he swung more than twenty times, directly chopping more than ten men into countless pieces of fragments and flesh.
"Dad, that guy's name is Izo!"
Sheila pointed at the swordsman and introduced him to Minister Ernest.
"Nice guy!"
Minister Ernest nodded, acknowledging the swordsman's prowess. His expression darkened. "Not bad, they're good. Now that the Four Rakshasa are dead, they can serve me and take down those who oppose me... Execute them all, with all the excuses you need. Hehehe!"
Dad's temper hasn't changed after all these years. But since I have new toys to play with, that's not bad either.
Silla glanced at his father's ferocious face. He was no longer surprised by it. Instead, he thought to himself, "Imperial Capital, my new toy, are you all mentally prepared?! Hahahaha..."
"By the way, have they all been equipped with Teigu?"
Minister Ernest suddenly asked.
"I've equipped them with all the Teigu I've collected over the years, and their strength is quite impressive. Dad, what do you want to do? Those are all Teigu I collected, don't I have the right to arrange Teigu for them?"
"Humph!"
Minister Ernest's face looked a little grim, but he did not deny Sheila's statement.
"In order to allow you to legitimately help me deal with those who oppose me, I will propose to His Majesty that we establish a secret police force to maintain public order. As for the name, let's call it the Wild Hounds. I hope these people can be as loyal as dogs and as fierce as wild beasts."
Ernest looked at the five of Sheila's men standing in the square under the window, then at Sheila, smiling. "Sheila, you're the ruler of this organization. I hope you won't let me down. Hmm... I suddenly remembered that there seems to be a hunter organization under Esdeath's command. They're the main force maintaining public security in the imperial capital. You must not clash with them. That woman is terrifying when she goes crazy!"
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't let you down. I will take care of the guy who's getting in your way."
Chapter 345: The Queen's Western Expedition
With the arrival of winter, heavy snow falls.
The Western aliens, facing a shortage of food for the winter, launched a war of aggression, repeatedly invading cities on the outskirts of the empire to plunder supplies. Due to the Western aliens' formidable combat power and the weak combat power of the Empire's ordinary defense forces, they suffered repeated defeats and were forced to request support from the Imperial Capital.
In just two weeks, the Western aliens had already looted a large amount of supplies and entered a new round of war, causing a significant impact on the empire. Moreover, the Western alien army showed a tendency to advance into the interior of the empire.
The Imperial Capital was also incredibly anxious. They had never anticipated the Western barbarians would suddenly launch an all-out attack on the Imperial border cities before winter arrived. In the past, the Western barbarians would have launched a war and plundered before the end of autumn. However, this year was different. They held off on any action during the autumn, leading the Imperials to believe that the Western barbarians had settled down considerably and that this year would be a more peaceful time.
However, what the empire did not expect was that the enemy chose to attack in winter, catching the empire off guard.
Upon receiving the urgent battle report, the Imperial Capital realized that ordinary Imperial forces were no match for the powerful Western aliens. While the Empire possessed weapons of mass destruction like iron cannons, the Western aliens had long been prepared for them, rendering them useless and ineffective. Therefore, the Imperial Capital quickly summoned the Super S General Esdeath to the palace for an audience.
After receiving the order, Esdeath didn't know why the emperor had summoned her, or what the matter was. However, this order was extremely urgent, and seemed to be related to the Western alien race. She dropped all her work and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you summoned me to the palace."
Esdeath half-knelt on the ground, raised her head and asked.
"General Esdeath, the Western barbarians suddenly invaded the imperial border cities two weeks ago and frantically plundered their resources, causing considerable damage and displacing the people. They are also showing signs of attacking some wealthy cities within the empire. My ministers and I are deeply concerned about this, so I have summoned you to the palace."
The young emperor glanced at Minister Ernest and said with some annoyance.
"Yes, the Western aliens have been restless recently and suddenly started a war. I have lost a lot of weight because of this."
Minister Ernest clearly hadn't anticipated the sudden invasion of a Western alien race second only to the Empire. This was completely unexpected, and ordinary armies were no match for the Western alien army. Despite the extensive destructive power of the iron cannon, the enemy realized this and chose to launch a surprise attack, rather than a head-on confrontation.
In just half a month, several towns fell. Although the Western aliens did not kill people on a large scale this time, the losses caused to the empire were not small. Small losses accumulated over time would become a very troublesome problem.
Because of this, Minister Ernest has recently experienced a loss of appetite and has been feeling somewhat troubled. While he has consistently manipulated the young Emperor, that doesn't mean he's not talented. On the contrary, reaching this position requires not only deep cunning but also exceptional ability. Furthermore, the Empire is now effectively ruled by Minister Ernest, and with someone invading his territory, he's naturally anxious and stressed, leading to a loss of appetite and rapid weight loss.
"Then Your Majesty wishes me to lead the troops to suppress the foreign tribes in the West?"
Esdeath glanced at Minister Ernest. She knew very well that the other party summoned her here just to want her to lead the troops to the west to fight against the invading Western barbarians and completely defeat them.
"Yes, that's right. I've discussed this with Minister Ernest, and having General Esdeath lead the Western Expedition is the best decision. It will also make those Western aliens understand that the Empire's territory is not a place for them to do whatever they want."
The young emperor nodded.
"When will we leave?"
Esdeath has also been in the imperial capital for some time recently. Apart from clearing out the nearby bandits and rebel forces, she has long felt a little bored. Instead, she wants to return to the battlefield, lead her troops to charge, kill the enemy and drive them away.
"The time is undecided, but I hope the general can set out as soon as possible to drive those rebellious Western alien armies out of the empire's territory and seize all the supplies to demonstrate the power of our empire!"
The young emperor glanced at Minister Ernest and, seeing him nod, continued, "If possible, General Esdeath can massacre their alien army, leaving them with no chance of plunder in the coming years."
"Well, Your Majesty is wise. General Esdeath is the most suitable person to lead the Western Expedition in this battle!"
Minister Ernest also interjected, "I believe this war will be over soon."
"Your Majesty, I understand. I will leave tomorrow after I have given instructions to the Hunter Organization."
Esdeath thought for a moment and replied.
"There's one thing I haven't told the general yet. Since the Hunters have been performing well recently, the Minister has suggested I give them a break. Of course, it's only for a week. After that, the Hunters will have to continue their mission, clearing out the criminals outside the Imperial Capital. As for the safety of the Imperial Capital, the Minister's son, Sheila's newly established Wild Hounds, will be responsible for protecting it!"
The young emperor spoke again, "General Esdeath, you can proceed with your Western Expedition without any worries!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
While Esdeath had no desire for political power, that didn't mean she wasn't cunning. After all, she could still see through such obvious promotions and demotions, and even idleness.
She looked up at Minister Ernest and frowned, wondering what he was up to. However, Esdeath didn't take it to heart. Instead, she stood up, took her leave, and left the palace.
Minister Ernest looked at Esdeath's back and sneered in his heart. Esdeath, I originally thought you were on my side, but I didn't expect that you had an unclear relationship with Zhu Moye, the emperor of the Tianming Sect. You can't blame me then.
Chapter 346 The War Begins Again
After leaving the palace, Esdeath came to the Hunter Headquarters and repeated the Emperor's order to Hei Tong and other members. She also briefly explained her plan to march west and warned everyone to be careful when she was not in the imperial capital.
After all, after tomorrow, Esdeath would lead her army westward to fight against the foreign tribes. While she was away from the Imperial Capital, she worried that the Hunters would get into trouble. And without her support, she was worried about what might happen.
Although the Hunters were a special department in the Imperial Capital, during his visit to the Emperor, the young Emperor had already implicitly stripped most of their power, intending to leave them idle and no longer be used. Instead, he promoted the Wild Hounds, an organization founded by Minister Ernest's son, Sheila, to replace the Hunters.
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road!
This was probably the result of Minister Ernest's attention. After all, the young emperor was not well versed in government affairs and could only be manipulated by Minister Ernest. Although not completely a puppet, it was almost the same.
Queen Esdeath, with her keen sense of purpose, had guessed that a rift had broken out between her and Minister Ernest. Although she didn't know what had caused it, she still had to be cautious, as she didn't want her subordinates to be persecuted.
After all, Minister Ernest is a complete villain. He may appear amiable on the surface, but he is cruel and ruthless behind the scenes, doing all kinds of evil. He dares to do anything.
Therefore, Esdeath is not confident in the Hunter Organization.
She gave repeated instructions to the members of the Hunter Organization and temporarily handed over the leadership of the Hunter Organization to Lan... asking him to be careful that no matter what happened, he must not have any conflict with the Wild Hounds, and to wait until she returned from the Western Expedition to deal with any problems.
Although Esdeath's power is not as strong as that of Minister Ernest, she is the strongest general in the imperial army. Her prestige in the army is at its peak. She controls almost 90% of the empire's military power and is one of the empire's mainstays.
As long as the strongest general, Esdeath, the strongest commander, General Budd, and Minister Ernest were there, the empire would remain in peace. Therefore, Esdeath was not afraid of Minister Ernest. If he dared to attack her forces, she would show no mercy and would confront him without mercy.
"Lord Esdeath, please leave the hunters to me. I will keep an eye on them."
Lan nodded and said respectfully, "There won't be any problems."
"Ok!"
General Esdeath glanced at Lan. This handsome young man had worked as a teacher in a rural area near Ruyao in the central part of the empire. He had a stable personality and was capable of great use. There would be no major problems if the Hunter Organization was temporarily handed over to him.
Of course, if the Hunter Organization is handed over to Will and others to manage, I am afraid that as soon as I leave, the hateful Will will come back with a bunch of troubles. It makes me speechless just thinking about it.
With that, Esdeath left the Hunter Headquarters and headed for the military camp, mobilizing her 100,000 elite soldiers. Although 30,000 soldiers had been lost in the previous battle in the Ice Country, Esdeath's army still had a significant number of spare soldiers. Therefore, she easily assembled a 100,000-man army.
According to intelligence, the Western alien army numbered a full 200,000, more than double the number of Esdeath's troops. However, Esdeath was confident in her own army's capabilities, and believed that a one-on-two battle would not be a problem.
After gathering a hundred thousand troops, Esdeath made some arrangements and the next day, she led the army to the imperial border city. It took about half a month to reach the border city.
awful!
One word to describe the current situation of the border city.
The town was destroyed beyond recognition, and countless civilians were displaced and looked extremely miserable. When they saw the imperial army coming, their eyes were full of despair, without any sign of life, like corpses walking.
"Come here, distribute the supplies!"
General Esdeath saw this, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand, called over a captain, and ordered, "Settle the victims first. We will set up the military camp."
"Lord Esdeath, I understand!"
