When all the ministers had left, the young emperor could not help but ask Ernest:

"Hurry up, hurry up, Minister, do you have any good ideas?"

Ernest tore off a piece of the steak in his hand without haste, chewed it a little and swallowed it, then said:

"Your Majesty, this is actually an opportunity."

"Oh, what chance?"

The young emperor was curious.

"After all, due to the existence of the rebels recently, many ministers have become disloyal. Your Majesty, don't you think that now is the time to test and examine the ministers?"

Ernest's hand holding the steak was like a claw, and he grabbed the steak tightly, causing the juice inside to burst.

"After all, this is a time when people's hearts are in turmoil. This is the best time for us to take action to stabilize the empire."

Ernest spoke in a high-sounding manner, but he was sneering in his heart.

He naturally knew that under his rule, many people had other thoughts.

Especially for some loyal and righteous people, he would not accept their gifts of benefits, nor was he willing to be tied to the same boat with him.

Although those who had already rebelled were exiled to other places by him for various reasons, there were still a large number of people who were unwilling to act with him.

This time is just an opportunity to force these people to be on the same boat with him, otherwise all those who do not act with him will be dealt with for treason.

He believed that everyone in the imperial capital was smart and would definitely not risk their own lives for the sake of so-called loyalty.

Of course, those who are not smart will naturally be eliminated one by one by him.

He wanted to make the entire empire into an ironclad entity, with everyone serving him.

However, what made him feel a little regretful was the research institute of that fashion doctor.

In fact, it was he who secretly supported this research institute, and most of its profits were divided among him.

The profits generated by that research institute were staggering. Now that it has been destroyed, I am afraid I will have to find new talents to fill this gap.

After hearing what the minister said, the emperor couldn't help but sigh:
"The minister is indeed thoughtful. I am the emperor of the country, but I am not yet like an emperor. If it were not for the minister, I am afraid I would not be able to run the entire empire now."

"Your Majesty, you think too much. Even if there is no such thing, I will still give birth to a capable person. It's just that I happen to be in this position and need to share your worries."

Ernest consoled.

"Then who does the Minister think should do this?"

"That would be General Esdeath, of course."

Ernest spoke without any hesitation.

"But General Esdeath is still at the border suppressing the northern barbarians. Isn't it a bit unsafe to transfer him back now?"

The Emperor asked with some concern.

The northern barbarians are also a major hidden danger to the empire, so General Esdeath was sent to exterminate and suppress the northern tribes, and no one knows what is happening to them now.

"Hahaha, I was just about to share this with Your Majesty. A few days ago, it was confirmed that all the main forces of the northern tribes had been captured, and even the prince of the northern alien tribe was captured alive."

Ernest laughed so hard that all the fat on his body began to tremble.

"Oh, is there such a good thing?"

The emperor's face suddenly lit up with joy.

"I have already sent someone to give General Esdeath the authority to deal with the chaos in the capital. In a few days, General Esdeath should rush back to the capital. By then, we must let all those villains who disturbed the capital see the majesty of our empire."

Ernest stuffed all the remaining steaks into his mouth, ate them with relish, and sneered in his heart.

Although Esdeath is powerful, he is a cold-blooded madman. All he needs to do is let him fight to keep his opponent loyal to the empire.

As for the empire's other great general, Bud, although the other party also looked down on him, he was loyal to the empire and the emperor and was a staunch royalist. As long as the emperor was always firmly controlled by him, the two major fighting forces of the empire would all belong to his side.

With the protection of two such powerful generals, it was hard for him to believe that the empire would collapse.

As for those clownish rebels, revolutionary army, and northern tribes, they will all be crushed by the strength of these two generals.

And he will gain an empire where he alone has the final say.

"Okay, okay, let General Esdeath come to see me as soon as she returns. I will definitely reward her well."

The emperor said several good words repeatedly, proving how happy he was.

But at this point, Minister Ernest's face froze.

He couldn't help but think of the several times he had interacted with Esdeath in the court.

The other party is moody and it would be difficult to get along with him if he were summoned.

Although he was summoned by the emperor at that time, he would definitely ask for his opinion in the end, which meant that he would be in trouble again.

But this may be the price to pay for controlling the entire empire.

Just get through this period of time.

Orlistat thought helplessly.

On the other side, at the night raid headquarters on the outskirts of the empire.

Leone is recording everything he has seen and heard, as well as the information he had previously investigated, and is preparing to send it to his boss tomorrow.

"Sister Leona, why do you seem to rush back so late at night? Are you recording the news?"

Tatsumi on the side finally waited until Leone had some free time before asking.

"You don't know what I saw in the imperial capital this time."

Leone sighed, and then recounted to Tatsumi everything he had seen and heard before.

"You mean someone fought with the Imperial Capital's Cash Cow Research Institute and destroyed the entire institute?"

He proved a little surprised. Based on Leone's description, he could imagine how difficult this battle would be.

Moreover, this happened in the imperial capital, and someone actually did such a big thing right under the noses of the ministers.

"Yeah, things are really getting more and more chaotic at this time."

Leone sighed.

The situation in the imperial capital was becoming more and more complicated, which made her, who was doing information gathering, more and more worried.

Tatsumi was somewhat puzzled:
"Why are you sighing, Sister Leone? I think this is a good thing. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Leone shook his head and said:

"That's not necessarily the case."

Hearing Leone say this, Tatsumi immediately looked at Leone with some curiosity.

"Not to mention that there are two major factions in the empire. One is the traitors headed by the ministers, and the other is the staunch royalists like General Bud."

Leone explained.

"Both factions want to keep the Empire in power. They are undoubtedly enemies of our revolutionary army, but in fact, they don't usually fight each other. It's just that General Bud has to guard the imperial capital. He basically doesn't interfere in state affairs, so the ministers are so rampant."

"In other words, General Bud is actually inclined to wipe out our resistance army?" Tatsumi figured out the subtext of Leone's words.

"Yes. In addition to these, there are actually many people who are loyal to the empire, but they are unwilling to go along with the ministers, so they are excluded. Our revolutionary army has the possibility of poaching them."

"Also, there are actually many countries around the empire that have seen the empire's decline and are ready to make moves. These countries are also ambitious and cannot be called friends at all."

Leone was worried. The troubled times had arrived and all kinds of monsters had come out.

At this moment, a provocative voice came out:

"Leone, stop threatening the newcomers. No matter what you say, the Empire is our common enemy at this moment. As long as the Empire hasn't arrived, they are our natural allies. So, there is no need to worry about these things now."

Lubbock, who had green hair, held a can of milk and smiled at Leone.
"As a human being, it's not good to think too much. I advocate enjoying life in the moment."

"That's why women don't like you. Who would like a man who has no future at all?"

Leone patted Tatsumi on the shoulder and continued:
"Tatsumi, you must not learn from Lubbock."

"Hey, so what did I do to piss you off..."

Lubbock was distraught, feeling that his defense had been breached.

Tatsumi suddenly said:

"By the way, do you know who the person who killed Beheading Zanke was?"

Leone, who was originally happy because he had touched Lubbock's sore spot, was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Tatsumi suddenly brought this up, but he still said:

"Well, it should be a man named Sailu, not very famous. I heard that he was a member of the Imperial Capital Guard."

"Well, if there is anything special, it is that she is also a Teigu user, but in the battle to kill Zanke, she didn't seem to use her Teigu."

"A user of imperial equipment was abandoned by the empire? And he volunteered to participate in the arena?"

Lubbock was a little surprised.

"Yeah, we didn't expect that at all."

Leone spread his hands. In fact, there were many imperial tool users in the imperial army, but the empire did not seem to pay much attention to these imperial tool users, or to be more precise, it did not treat the imperial tool users differently.

"And I remember this person should be the adopted daughter of Ouka, my first target."

Tatsumi continued:

"Do you think it's possible that she was the one who did all these things? After all, it can't be such a coincidence that a master suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right?"

"Your idea is totally unfounded. I actually did some research on Sailu, whom you mentioned. Although she had joined the Imperial Capital Guard before, her own strength was not strong. What people were more concerned about was her identity as an imperial tool user."

Leone shook his head, thinking that this guess was extremely unreasonable.

"Yes, and from what I saw from Leone's previous description, it would be a bit unreasonable to fight against such a being with just one's own strength."

Lubbock couldn't help but agree.

"And most importantly, Sailyu has no motive to do this. There is absolutely no conflict of interest between the research institute and the arena where she works. Why would Sailyu do these things?"

Leone patted Tatsumi's shoulder:

"Okay, newbies, stop imagining things and focus on your training. I suspect that after this chaos, the Empire will most likely respond."

Lubbock also nodded:
"Yes, after all, we have been active in the Empire recently. In addition, there has been such a vicious incident as the destruction of the research institute. It is very likely that the Empire will take action against us."

"Well, I'll wait and see what the boss has to say."

The objectives and actions of the night raid were mainly determined by the Revolutionary Army.

Leone usually goes to the market to take on missions, which is actually only when he is in the Empire and the security is not so strict.

Therefore, if the Empire really has a major operation recently, then her activities in the market will also be reduced.

"Really? Maybe I'm just imagining things."

Tatsumi didn't think too much about it, he just said it casually as the thought suddenly occurred to him.

It can't be true.

…………

As it turned out, the minister's arrangements began to take effect the next day.

Or to be more precise, the minister had prepared for these things a long time ago, but there had never been a good opportunity.

Overnight, a large number of members who were operating in the gray area and openly or secretly serving the Mahayana faction suddenly became members of the Imperial Capital Guard.

They searched the homes of the ministers on the pretext of searching for thieves.

Then, many corrupt officials were inexplicably caught.

All of these ministers had livid faces and bleak expressions.

Because they know very well who put these charges on them.

This scene appeared in various places in the imperial capital, and large numbers of people who were guilty or suspected were transported to the imperial capital's prisons.

Waiting for a new round of review.

Not only the homes of ministers, but even ordinary vendors and civilians outside have undergone various inspections to a greater or lesser extent.

However, the arena where Seryu was located seemed unusually peaceful.

Or rather, it was just like before, the scene was extremely hot and intense.

At this moment, Sailu is killing people on the field.

After possessing inner strength, Sailu's strength increased again.

It can be said that these people in front of him have less and less to do with the training of Sailu.

So Celiudo used some unskilled moves to deal with these challengers.

In order to try out one's new moves, the battle will naturally become more intense.

After all, it won't be as easy to deal with the opponent as before.

"Lord Saiyu wins!"

As a clear voice came out of the referee's mouth, Sailu's opponent fell down and fell unconscious.

The audience in the stadium immediately cheered loudly and with satisfaction.

After that, people started to get up and leave.

This is the last match of the day.

Amid the discussions that countless people were having relish, the arena gradually became deserted.

And Sailu was soaking in the warm water of appropriate temperature comfortably.

The curvy figure is looming under the water.

She raised her hand and looked. (End of this chapter)
