Chapter 315: Empire Maru
"Move the whole thing away."

After thinking about it, Ke Ling decided to move the entire area covered by the shadow curtain into the "Shadow Realm".

Although compared with the territory of the Empire, the current scope of the "Shadow Realm" is much smaller, the explosion of this energy will have a greater impact on the "Shadow Realm". At least the existing settlements will be scrapped, and cities of a new scale will directly enter the Ice Age.

But Ke Ling can manipulate the "Shadow Realm" at will, and he can completely limit the spread of this energy. As the "Lord of the Shadow Realm", he will not be stumped by this problem. As long as he enters the "Shadow Realm", he has the final say.

"Boom!!!"

Ke Ling began to move the entire palace. To people outside the palace, the entire palace was shrouded in a terrifying shadow, as if a huge black bowl was placed on the palace. People outside didn't know what was happening inside.

This left the "Night Raid" group who were preparing to break into the palace to help dumbfounded, as the changes in the palace were beyond their expectations.

"Esdeath, has that guy been defeated?"

There was a dull expression on Nadezhda's face. She certainly understood the reason for the sudden drop in temperature before. It must be Esdeath's ability. The shadow curtain covering the entire palace enveloped Esdeath's explosive power.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Around Nadezhda, everyone from [Night Raid] looked at her, waiting for the boss to make a decision. They were all used to following Nadezhda's instructions. This was not because of fear, not because of Nadezhda's power or status, but because Nadezhda's wisdom was recognized by them.

Under Nadezhda's command, they have not even had any personnel reduction during their operations so far, and have basically not encountered any life-and-death crisis. Nadezhda has proved her ability and her wisdom.

"Wait, there's nothing we can do."

Although she was very unwilling, Nadezhda's mind was very clear. They were close to the palace and had seen the war that had just broken out. To put it bluntly, even if they went there, they would most likely just be delivering food.

Moreover, when the terrifying energy exploded just now, they were not far away and saw it all. Just a small amount of energy that leaked out had caused strange celestial phenomena in the entire imperial capital. If it hadn't been for the shadow curtain to stop it, it was hard to imagine what would have happened. Nadezhda felt a chill in her heart.

Therefore, they certainly cannot make trouble and should not think about breaking the shadow curtain to get in. They even have to pray that the shadow curtain will not be broken, because none of them can prevent the disaster that is about to happen.

Nadezhda has also realized that she had underestimated Esdeath and even Bud before. Imperial tools like [Devil's Appearance·Essence of Demon] and [Thunder God's Wrath·Adramiller] are simply a dimensionality reduction attack for ordinary people.

"Akagami is still inside."

Hill, holding the giant scissors imperial weapon, had a look of worry on his face. He could only say that the battle he had just witnessed was indeed too horrifying. After all, Akame was a flesh and blood body. Could he really survive that kind of battle?

With thunder all over the sky and ice flying everywhere, the "battle" between Ke Ling and Esdeath didn't look like a fight between two humans at all.

Hill couldn't help but worry. What could Chi Tong do in that kind of battle?

"Red pupils."

Nadezhda gritted her teeth. She was also very worried, but at this time, they could only choose to believe it. There was no other way.

At this moment, Chi Tong was actually in a daze. She and Bud, who were guarding the little emperor, were just about to return to the ground, but the passage they had just come down from was now completely blocked and they couldn't get out at all.

"It's the power of Lord Devil."

Bud was able to recognize that it was Ke Ling's shadow curtain, so he was not in a hurry for the moment. Anyway, Lord Devil probably didn't need their help, and going up might just be a hindrance.

“It’s so cold!”

The little emperor shivered, and the temperature in the underground passage dropped a lot. Chitong and Bud didn't feel anything, but the little emperor was no match for these strong men after all.

"Bear it."

Bud said that it was okay to stay in this temperature for a while, and it would not freeze people to death in a short period of time.

"Okay."

The little emperor was trembling, but didn't dare to say much. He could only pray in his heart, praying that General Esdeath would win. This was his last straw.

The young emperor did not understand Esdeath's true nature. He thought that Esdeath was also a loyal minister, who was fighting the enemy for her life, just like Minister Ernest had just done.

Minister Ernest had just refused to be recruited, would rather die than surrender, and went straight up to fight General Bud, which almost made the little emperor cry. This is a loyal minister of the empire! He is much better than those traitors!
Esdeath, who was still fighting "for the empire" at this time, was naturally classified as a "loyal minister" by the little emperor.

"Do you want to leave through another exit?"

Chi Tong looked at Bud and asked seriously, "Who knows when this battle will end? What if the battle lasts for several days? They can't just hide in the underground passage like this, right?"
"No, don't worry, it's all over with Lord Devil."

Bud waved his hand. He had received the message from Lord Devil. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, a shadow swept around him and Ke Ling's figure appeared from it.

"Oh, I was wondering what happened, it turns out this guy is not dead yet."

Ke Ling showed up and saw that Ernest was still alive. He understood why he didn't receive any experience points.

When Bud killed Daidas and Niu of the "Three Beast Warriors" before, Ke Ling received experience points. There is no reason why Ernest would not give experience points. This guy who looks like a fat pig is a master of the Royal Fist Temple. He may be stronger than Daidas and Niu.

Ke Ling took a look at the experience bar and found that he was almost leveling up. This was a bit unexpected, as he didn't seem to have killed many enemies.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ke Ling felt that Bud seemed to give more experience points for killing people, at least more than if he did it himself. Could it be that the gap between Bud's strength and that of his enemy was not that big?
Ke Ling looked at the records, compared them, and finally confirmed that the experience points given by Bud for killing Daidas and Niu were indeed more than those given by him for killing Seleucus Eupictus.

You know, the experience value converted from the ability [Blood Servant Contract] is only 50%! 50% is more than what Ke Ling gets from killing enemies himself. Wow, the reason for only giving 50% is because blood servants give more experience from killing enemies? !

It can't be that Niu and Daidas are competing against Ryu Ubiquitas, right? They are both imperial tools users, so the difference can't be that big.

Moreover, Daidas's level is just that, and he may not be able to defeat Seleucus Euphigitas's [Magic Beast Transformation: Hundred-armed Titan].

Now that Ke Ling has also turned [Two Big Axes·Belwak] into flesh and blood, he is absolutely qualified to say this. The imperial weapon [Two Big Axes·Belwak] is not as good as [Magic Beast Transformation·Hundred-Armed Giant], even in his hands.

Ke Ling couldn't help but be surprised. He had never noticed that blood servants gave more experience points for killing enemies before. Although he occasionally gained experience points before, the amount was relatively small. The blood servants didn't kill strong people, and even the experience points they gave were only in the single digits, so Ke Ling simply ignored it.

But now think about it, if he had done it himself, those weak ones would not have given any experience at all, let alone after the 50% conversion.

"Sigh~"

Looking at Bud, Ke Ling felt like he had discovered a new world. Maybe he really found a way to gain experience points?

"Master Devil?"

Budd was confused. What was going on? Why was he looking at him like that? He didn't seem to have done anything wrong, did he?
"It's okay, just follow me and leave here."

Ke Ling shook his head and returned to normal. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a shadow swept over, covering Chitong, Bud, Ernest, and the little emperor.

When they reappeared, they were already outside the palace, next to Nadezhda, Leone and the others.

The sudden appearance of Ke Ling and his companions obviously scared Nadezhda and the others, but they had seen Ke Ling's methods before, so they quickly realized what was going on.

"Red pupil!"

Seeing that Akame appeared unharmed, Nadezhda, Maine and others all breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere of [Night Raid] was actually quite good. At least everyone regarded each other as companions, and if anything happened to anyone, everyone would find a way to help.

After a brief surprise, Nadezhda's expression turned into shock, because she saw Ernest and the little emperor! Her expression froze, and she didn't know what expression to show.

"This, this, this"

For a moment, Nadezhda was so shocked that she was speechless. She was overjoyed. Was everything over? !

The surprise came so suddenly that Nadezhda even began to wonder if she was dreaming or if she was affected by some strange imperial weapon.

Brand was equally shocked. Although he did not hold a high position in the empire, he was still a well-known imperial weapon user and was no stranger to Minister Ernest and the young emperor.

Brand's original boss was Riva, one of the "Three Beast Warriors". Riva was a general who led an independent army. Brand was a general under him and had witnessed the prosperity of the imperial capital with him.

"Ernest! Damn you!"

Brand's gaze was more focused on Ernest. After all, it was because of Ernest that General Riva was escorted back to the imperial capital, and he rebelled against the empire in anger, and then fled before being surrounded and suppressed by the imperial weapons.

It can be said that it was Minister Ernest who destroyed everything for him. Of course, this also made him realize the corruption and depravity of the empire.

Although he was a little surprised that General Liva would become one of the "Three Beast Warriors", he still blamed it on Ernest. Everything should not have been like this.

"Don't rush to kill him. This guy will get the judgment he deserves."

Ke Ling smiled and stopped Brand who was a little impulsive. Since Minister Ernest was still alive, he must be used. He had to send Ernest and the little emperor to the guillotine together.

Of course, when the time comes, Bud will have to do the killing. Experience cannot be wasted, and it will also be a good opportunity to get more samples to verify his guess.

"Is that the Imperial City?"

The little emperor stared blankly at the "big black bowl" not far away. He was completely dumbfounded. He was sure that it was definitely the direction of the imperial city.

And now, his imperial city, a palace that had been passed down for a thousand years, had become like this? What was this "big black bowl"? What was it going to turn his imperial city into?

The little emperor looked confused, but it was obvious that no one would answer him.

"You can tell the revolutionary army to move north. Bud will cooperate with you to control the army and government departments. There should be little resistance."

Ke Ling spoke, and after hearing his words, everyone had different thoughts. The little emperor was in a trance at this time. He truly realized that the empire might perish in his hands.

Looking at the situation, it was obvious that General Esdeath, whom he had placed high hopes on, had been defeated and might even have been killed.

"The Empire is Over"

The little emperor murmured to himself, and Ke Ling denied his words.

"It's not that the empire is over. No one is talking about changing the political system. It's just that your royal family is over. The political system of the empire may not necessarily change."

Ke Ling corrected the little emperor's statement. The empire had existed for thousands of years. Although the royal family had been overthrown, the imperial system did not necessarily have to change, and the steps did not necessarily have to be so big.

If a republic is established straight away, people may not be used to it. Not to mention the common people of the empire, even the officials may not be able to adapt to it. Some things need ideological support to take root. Otherwise, even if it is forcibly transformed, it will only be a castle in the air, just an imperial system with a different name.

"."

The young emperor didn't know what to say. It made no difference to him. Their royal family had been overthrown, so the continued existence of the empire had nothing to do with him. To him, it was the end of the empire.

"Click."

Ke Ling knocked the little emperor unconscious with a casual blow, and then took him into the "Shadow Realm". The blood of this little emperor is still useful. It is the key to activate the imperial weapon [National Guardian Mecha God·Supreme Throne] and is a sample worthy of study.

Although for Ke Ling himself, he can use [National Guardian Mecha God·Supreme Throne] by directly transforming into flesh and blood, this method of blood binding is still worth studying. The imperial tools he will create later can also use similar abilities.

If imperial instruments are bound to fixed bloodlines, only descendants of fixed bloodlines can use them. At least the imperial instruments will not be scattered all over the empire and will not fall into the hands of the enemy. Even so, it is possible for thousand-year-old families to emerge and truly live as long as the country. This is probably difficult for rulers to accept.

But for Ke Ling, there is nothing to worry about. This approach of "only those who can use it can be used if I say so" is particularly suitable for him, and the main point is "official appointment".
