Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

She quickened her pace toward the base in the suburbs, deciding to temporarily set aside the question of who these mysterious people were.

The most important thing right now is to bring the intelligence back.

Meanwhile, Esdeath returned to the northern military camp through a portal.

She immediately convened a meeting with three trusted confidants and senior generals.

"I've come back this time to take you to the capital and help me take over the empire."

Esdeath got straight to the point.

Liva stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Why is Your Excellency suddenly interested in power?"

As the person who knew Esdeath best, he knew that the general had never had any interest in politics.

"I've taken care of both the ministers and the young emperor."

Esdeath explained briefly, "We need your help to stabilize the situation now."

Those who want to come with me, pack your bags; those who want to stay, continue guarding the border.

"We swear to follow you to the death, sir!"

The three subordinates answered in unison.

Although the foreign tribes on the border had just been suppressed, they preferred to follow Esdeath rather than guard the frontier.

The Three Beast Warriors were the first to respond, followed by other high-ranking officers of Esdeath's Legion who also expressed their willingness to follow.

This is not surprising, as Esdeath, despite her eccentric personality, is exceptionally generous to her subordinates.

She always exchanged her war merits and spoils for gold and silver, and distributed them all to the soldiers of the legion.

This kindness made the soldiers extremely loyal to her, even willing to rebel.

Even if the emperor, General Budo, and the ministers were still alive, they would follow Esdeath without hesitation.

"Excellent! Assemble your troops immediately. I will use a teleportation portal to take you directly to the capital, saving you the time of a long journey..."

The situation over there is urgent.

Esdeath was pleased with the soldiers' reaction and then explained about the portal.

"I never expected you to have such a wonderful encounter, sir! Congratulations!"

"So, it seems that Lady Esdeath's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion?"

"Long live Lady Esdeath!"

Liva and the others were amazed, and some even cheered.

It was half a day later that the troops were fully assembled.

Esdeath contacted Gu Beichen for help in expanding the portal, and he readily agreed to enlarge it to accommodate dozens of people passing through side by side, greatly improving passage efficiency.

"It's unbelievable that someone can control the power of space!"

"That's the difference in talent."

As the portal expanded, the troops quickly arrived in the capital.

Esdeath immediately assigned the urgent mission to the Legion.

Meanwhile, a night raid was launched on the base.

"Chief, something big happened!"

Leone rushed back and reported the latest situation in the capital to Najendan.

"Such a thing actually happened? Just who are these people?"

Najendan looked completely bewildered.

"What do we do next?"

Leone pressed for an answer.

After hearing the news, Akame and her group were all quite restless.

"Don't rush into action. Let's see what they're up to."

Najendan analyzed calmly.

She turned to look at Jixiangling: "Go and find out the details of this mysterious organization."

Lucky nodded; this task was indeed very suitable for her.

On the other hand, Najenda was surprised by Esdeath's sudden move to purge the corrupt nobles.

She simply couldn't fathom what this woman was thinking.

In Najenda's eyes, Esdeath had always been an incomprehensible madwoman.

Now her behavior is even more unpredictable.

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong."

Najendan frowned and muttered to herself.

Leone volunteered: "I'll go and gather some more intelligence."

"Proceed with caution."

Najendan gave her instructions.

She understood that intelligence was crucial at this moment, and that she might have to return to headquarters to report once she had gathered enough information.

In the dark alley, Zank stared at the girl in white and grinned maliciously: "What a pretty little girl, killing you would be quite fun!"

Lu Xueqi coldly drew her Tianya Sword: "So it was you, you scoundrel."

"It's so disgusting."

Misaka Mikoto looked at Zank with disgust, a flash of electricity crackling in her hair. "Xueqi, can you handle this?"

"It'll be fine soon."

Before Lu Xueqi could finish speaking, lightning flashed on the sword's edge.

Zank laughed arrogantly: "Take me down in seconds? Dream on!"

He tried to predict Lu Xueqi's actions with his Imperial Arms, but his expression suddenly changed drastically: "What's going on? Why can't I see your future?"

Lu Xueqi didn't take Zanke seriously at all, but the opportunity was too good to pass up, so she made her move decisively.

A flash of sword light, the two figures clashed, and the outcome was decided.

"Let's go."

She sheathed her sword and beckoned her companions to leave. 0.5

Zank stood frozen in place, bloodstains slowly appearing on his neck, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Don't waste Imperial Arms."

Angel Yan raised her hand and removed the equipment from Zanke's head, handing it to Lu Xueqi.

“That’s disgusting.”

Lu Xueqi frowned as she looked at the spoils of war, her face full of disgust.

"You don't want it? Then I'll take it."

Angel Yan pretended to take it, "Although it's a bit ugly, it should be able to be exchanged for a lot of points in the City of Myriad Realms."

"and many more!"

Lu Xueqi quickly used her spiritual power to take it and put it into her spatial bracelet, saying, "I'll keep it safe for now."

She strode towards her next destination, the laughter of Angel Yan and Misaka Mikoto echoing behind her.

This girl's contradictory behavior is quite amusing.

On the other side, inside the palace.

Esdeath led her men through the portal and immediately gave orders: "You are responsible for subduing the palace guards. Riva, the three of you, come with me to reorganize the imperial army."

Remember, you must be in complete control of the situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three beastmen bowed respectfully.

She turned to Gu Beichen: "Do you want to work together? Or wait here until we're done?"

"Let's go together."

Gu Beichen responded calmly.

Gu Beichen came mainly to check on the situation; he left the specific tasks to the group members.

The purpose of organizing activities is to get everyone involved.

He was very interested in Imperial Arms and made a lot of progress after studying them, especially in weapon crafting and alchemy.

The Wrath of Thor obtained from General Bud has been analyzed and can be mass-produced as long as the materials are available.

He compiled the manufacturing method into a book and uploaded it to the group's online store. Then he took out another Imperial Arm obtained from the Minister's Treasury to continue his research, while keeping up with Esdeath and the others.

Esdeath easily won over most of the Imperial Capital's guards with her prestige and strength.

Chapter 118: Watch how I deal with you all!

Only General Bud's direct troops resisted fiercely, but they were quickly frozen into ice sculptures by Esdeath and shattered into pieces.

The remaining soldiers, in order to save their lives, all chose to surrender.

Meanwhile, Leone returned to the city and discovered that a large-scale purge was underway, carried out by powerful individuals.

She was puzzled; these people seemed to have noticed her, but no one paid any attention to her.

Upon seeing Esdeath incorporate the army, she rushed to the vicinity of the palace to gather information.

Leone was shocked to learn that the minister, the young emperor, and General Budo had all died, and that they had been killed by Esdeath.

She suspected that Esdeath might have staged a coup and that she had to bring the news back to Night Raid headquarters immediately.

The empire is about to undergo a major transformation, and perhaps this is the opportunity they have been waiting for.

As Leone was walking, a gentle male voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Please tell Najendan that we will visit her tomorrow to discuss the Imperial reforms and purge plan."

I hope you are prepared.

"Who's talking?"

Leone stopped abruptly and looked around warily.

"I am Gu Beichen, the city lord of the City of Myriad Realms."

We can discuss the details tomorrow; it won't be a bad thing for you.

The sound rang out again, but no one appeared.

No matter how Leone called out to him, the other party did not respond.

She scratched her head in frustration: "What the hell? What do we do now?"

She originally intended to return immediately to report the intelligence, but considering the other party's mysterious and unpredictable methods, she worried that it would expose the base's location and endanger her companions.

Gu Beichen, who was hiding in the shadows, noticed her concerns and couldn't help but find it amusing.

With his abilities, he already knew the location of Night Raid headquarters perfectly well; this distance was no obstacle for him to discover.

He suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, and amidst Leone's scream, he used the laws of space to send her directly to the front of the Night Raid headquarters.

"Stop guessing, little girl."

His voice rang in Leone's ear, "I've already figured out where you are."

Remember to pass on my message to your boss; we will be visiting him promptly tomorrow morning.

Don't even think about running away, it's no use."

Leone stood there, stamping her feet in anger.

"Could this guy read minds?"
