"Congratulations! From today on, you will officially be transferred to the Hunter Corps..."

Shen Yuan has been in the Imperial Guard for some time. With his outstanding strength and talent, he easily became an elite member. Not long ago, he applied to join the "Hunter" force and received personal approval from Esdeath.

Now he is invited to join the special police force "Hunter" along with the imperial weapon user Seleucus Eubiquitus.

However, there seems to be a newcomer at the same time.

His name is Will.

Originally affiliated with the Imperial Navy, he had a great benefactor in the army. With this relationship and the recognition of his strength, Will successfully joined the special police force.

In other words.

There are a total of three new members, Ying (Shen Yuan), Sailu and Will who joined the "Hunter" at the same time.

In addition, a gay genius scientist named Dr. Fashion was also invited to join the "Hunters", but he was not in the team going to the "Hunters" headquarters this time.

"Hello, my name is Will! I used to be a marine. Nice to meet you. From now on, we'll be colleagues, 'August 17th'!"

After hearing that his application to join the "Hunters" was successful, Shen Yuan wanted to leave directly, but was stopped by a young man about twenty years old.

His enthusiasm, integrity, sense of justice and courage attracted Shen Yuan's attention.

"My name is Ying, nice to meet you."

Shen Yuan also smiled back and reached out to shake hands.

"Huh... Thank goodness, someone is finally willing to talk to me!"

Will's tense expression finally relaxed. He looked at Shen Yuan apologetically and explained, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm from a small fishing village in the countryside. I've never been to a big city before. I thought people would look down on me this time. I prepared thoroughly before coming here and brought a lot of special seafood, but it doesn't seem to have much effect."

"No, I think you're too nervous."

Shen Yuan shook his head and asked, "But why did you join the Hunters?"

"For justice and world peace, of course!"

Will spoke righteously, then glanced around at the people around him. After confirming that no one was staring at him, he whispered to Shen Yuan, "Actually, I was forced to do this. My master is a big shot in the navy. He lost a bet with General Esdeath. Then, when the Emperor recalled the generals to temporarily form a team to fight against the "Night Raid," they were short of manpower, so I was drafted in!"

Will said this with an innocent look on his face, and judging by his appearance, that was indeed the case.

"That's really hard on you."

Shen Yuan patted Will's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

"By the way, Ying. Why did you join the Hunters? I've heard of your name. I heard you're a swordsman genius, very powerful, and you volunteered to join the Hunters!"

At this point, a hint of fighting spirit appeared on Will's face, as if strong people would also be attracted to each other.

"I came here to make a name for myself and bring a better life to my impoverished village. Besides that, eradicating evil and slaying demons is also my goal. Only by becoming a high-ranking official in the empire can I change all of this. Therefore, I want to become the future Great General of the Empire!"

Shen Yuan has created a positive image for himself as a serious, rigorous, hardworking and progressive person.

These words immediately attracted Will and won his approval.

"Becoming a general?! That's a big dream, but keep going, I'm rooting for you!"

But before they could continue chatting.

"that......"

Seryu Eubiquitas, standing beside them, interrupted with a smile, "Excuse me, we should get in the car. General Esdeath is waiting for us at Hunter's headquarters. It's time to reunite with everyone."

"it is good!"

"Let's go then."

Shen Yuan boarded the carriage and went to the Hunter headquarters with Seleu Euphikitas and Will.

So far, everything has been going smoothly.

......

Imperial capital, imperial palace.

Sitting on the imperial throne that has been developed for a thousand years, the current emperor is a green-haired boy about twelve years old.

Although he looks like a young girl, that is only a sign of his young age. In addition, only men can sit on the throne of emperor, so there is no need to worry about the ministers finding an emperor dressed as a man.

Today, the luxuriously decorated palace beneath the young emperor's throne symbolizes the dignity of imperial power.

But today, when the empire is gradually crumbling, it seems like an accusation of tyranny, which is particularly ironic.

"Your Majesty, in the 'Night Raid' operation, over a dozen nobles have been assassinated. With their help, the revolutionary army is growing stronger. The situation is now imminent. Your Majesty, please immediately order the complete eradication of this evil force!"

A man was kneeling on his knees at the bottom of the hall, reporting recent intelligence to the young emperor.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the civil and military officials and nobles on both sides changed and became extremely solemn.

Because no one knows who will be killed next.

At this moment, those who had something to hide began to panic.

"It seems that the 'night raid' has become a sharp weapon used by the rebels to intimidate and spread terror. We can no longer sit idly by..."

"If we don't come up with a solution quickly, the empire will be in danger!"

Several frightened ministers began to whisper to each other, and their discussion reached the ears of the little emperor and the minister "Ernest".

"Please be quiet!"

The young emperor immediately stood up from his throne, waved his scepter, and shouted to the civil and military officials in the hall, "It's just a small force. Our empire is so powerful that there is no need to panic no matter what situation we face. Wouldn't it be more efficient to let the rebels gather together and then wipe them out in one fell swoop? Don't worry, everything is under my control!"

After the majestic little emperor said this, he shocked the entire audience, and his aura was no less than those of the battle-hardened generals.

"—Is that all that's required, Minister?"

The young emperor seemed satisfied with the reactions of his subjects. He turned to look at a giant Khan man who was munching on meat and hamburgers, as if asking for his opinion.

"Mmmmm~~" Minister Ernest seemed to be still greedily eating something. His burly body weighing several hundred pounds was like a mountain of meat in front of the little emperor. As he swallowed the food, he praised: "Oh~ As expected of His Majesty, you are wise! But since these little thieves dared to offend the imperial power, let us eradicate them once and for all..."

I don’t know if it was because the meat was too tough to chew, or if it was something the minister was thinking about.

He paused, then continued, "The Imperial Capital Guard has been attacked numerous times. Many of the Imperial Capital's nobles are facing threats to their personal safety and property by the professional assassin group Night Raid. It's said they also possess a large number of Imperial Artifact Users! They're truly a formidable force that shouldn't be ignored!"

Having said that, the minister angrily grabbed the huge piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, tearing and biting it off, with minced meat flying in his mouth.

“In that case—Your Majesty!!”

The minister's face was twisted and ferocious, like a demon. "We can no longer tolerate the rebellious behavior of these rebels. Please recall General Esdeath, who has suppressed the north, to the imperial capital! Let her defeat these little thieves!"

Hearing Esdeath's name, all the civil and military officials in the hall were suddenly frightened.

They all seemed unwilling to see the sadistic ice queen who was decisive in killing people and had a terrible temper.

"Um... Minister, wouldn't it be better to let General Bud do this?"

A civil servant swallowed his saliva. Esdeath was famous, and nothing good would happen if he recalled her.

"Are you telling me what to do?" The minister glared at the official and said coldly, "General Bud is stationed at the Imperial Palace. How could he, a calm and steady man, throw away his pride to deal with such a petty thief? On the contrary, General Esdeath is not so stubborn. She only likes to hunt valuable prey!"

"Your Majesty, let Esdeath take action!" The minister said this, then looked up and looked directly at the little emperor, as if giving an order.

With his keen sense of smell, he had already sensed the danger of a "night attack".

If this rebellious force is not eliminated soon, it will be a major obstacle to his future rule.

Therefore.

A crisis is gradually approaching "Night Raid"!

......

at this time.

Shen Yuan, who was sitting in a carriage on his way to the "Hunter" headquarters, did not know the situation on the minister's side, but he knew the plan for the "night attack".

Because Shen Yuan is a member of the Imperial Capital Guard, commonly known as a "ghost".

Not long ago, the "Night Raid" suffered a devastating attack that almost resulted in the loss of its members. The members who attacked them were the "Three Beast Warriors", Esdeath's subordinates. They had fought with the Esdeath army for many years and were an important fighting force of the Esdeath army.

If it weren't for Shen Yuan's timely notification, Brand, the big brother of the professional killer group's night raid, might have died in this operation.

After all, the leader of the Three Beast Warriors, "Liva", was once Brand's boss. His imperial weapon was [Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin]. He was a former imperial general who was both wise and brave. He was framed and arrested for refusing to bribe, but was later rescued by Esdeath and has been loyal to her ever since.

The other two are a perverted transvestite boy who likes to collect human skin masks and dissect small animals, and a warmonger who likes to fight against the strong.

The three beast warriors initially fought against Brand, Tatsumi and others who attacked at night on the dragon ship.

However, because Shen Yuan revealed the actions of the "Three Beast Warriors" in advance, Chi Tong and others also participated in the battle. Under siege from multiple sides, the Three Beast Warriors were eventually defeated and killed.

This incident also angered Esdeath. After receiving the recall order from the little emperor, she immediately expanded the size of the special police force "Hunters".

As a result, Shen Yuan successfully joined the "Hunter" and got the opportunity to get close to Esdeath.

"so cold......"

In the carriage, Seleu Euphikitas suddenly couldn't help shivering.

"cold?"

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Will.

The upright and righteous young retired navy officer also felt a slight chill and nodded: "It seems there really is a sudden cold snap, but it's clearly not winter yet!"

"..."

To be honest, Shen Yuan also felt a chill. He looked out the carriage window and the sky seemed to have changed slightly.

Unlike the gathering places of ethnic minorities in the north where there is a vast expanse of white frost, there should not be a cold climate and flying snow here, but the temperature is still terribly low, and the movement of carriages is also greatly restricted. This force does not seem to be a change in the natural environment.

Could it be that it was Esdeath's power?

"Snowflakes?"

Shen Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky. Because of the power of ice, the sky and the earth were covered in white. Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky. In just a dozen seconds, the earth was covered in silver.

There was a hint of cold air in the air, mixed with a faint pungent smell of blood.

It was as if he had just returned from a tragic battlefield. The frosty air was mixed with the smell of blood.

But this is not a battlefield, why is there such a strong momentum?

The only possibility that Shen Yuan could think of was that Esdeath appeared nearby. She seemed to be testing him and the others, or testing their strength.

"Looks like we're almost there."

Shen Yuan said indifferently to the other two.

He was surprised at Esdeath's imposing display.

I've heard of generals in ancient times massacring cities, or allowing their soldiers to massacre cities with blood, but this general who killed 400,000 prisoners had an even more terrifying aura. Feeling the cold and bloody breath, Shen Yuan vaguely had a picture in his mind.

Led by Esdeath's three lieutenants, the "Three Beast Warriors", the soldiers of the Imperial Army hollowed out a vast expanse of white ice into a huge tomb, and then tied up the captives of the northern ethnic group and threw them in one by one. Piles of cold frozen soil mixed with snowflakes were buried from the shovels wielded by the Imperial Army on high altitude, covering the mountains of corpses.

Even if some of these people were still conscious and alive, they were buried because they had lost the ability to resist!

Maybe strength is justice, maybe weakness is sin.

As the snow continued to fall and covered the huge tomb, the warriors who had watched all this blood turned around and left, while the officials who came to the northern ice field of the empire to convey the message were trembling with fear, as if they had never seen such a scene before.

"Ying! Wake up, there's something happening up ahead!"

Will and Sailu's words brought Shen Yuan, who was immersed in this momentum, back to his senses. He looked up and looked forward.

On the frozen ground of the road.

A tall and slender figure stood there motionless, with long ice-blue hair reaching past the knees.

Blue pupils, long blue eyelashes, a white military uniform, a belt around the waist, slender thighs, and white boots. He said nothing, but his cold eyes seemed like those of a natural king, staring at this side coldly.

The empire's strongest general just stood in the middle of the road. The ground beneath his feet began to freeze, and the air nearby stagnated and froze. With a neigh from the carriage, the wheels slipped on the icy surface of the frozen ground and began to roll to one side.

“Too lazy!”

Esdeath snorted coldly, as if dissatisfied with the reaction of these newcomers, and began to move.

"Disappeared!"

Will got up from the ground in panic, then looked left and right for the icy blue figure.

But the next moment, he suddenly groaned, rolled his eyes, and was hit on the back of the head by a knife without any preparation. He fell to the ground unconscious.

"Will...you bastard!"

Seleu Eubiquitas raised her head on the other side and looked at the figure that appeared in front of her in shock and anger.

But before she could recognize who the person in front of her was.
