Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

There weren't that many rooms in the night raid base, so the hunters simply lay down in the courtyard.

Lying on the grass and sleeping.

Porus was on guard, and Hei Tong couldn't sleep, so he sat on the steps and wiped his sword.

Perhaps he noticed something, Hei Tong suddenly turned around and looked directly into Chi Tong's eyes.

Their eyes met. They had had similar experiences more than once in previous battles.

But really speaking of distance and atmosphere, this is the first time they have had such an opportunity.

"You've been watching for too long. If you're planning on taking action here, I don't mind satisfying your needs."

Heitong grasped the long knife in his hand, eager to try.

Akagi didn't say anything, but just walked quietly past Hei Tong and went somewhere else.

The whole night was spent in a strange atmosphere.

And Sailu is probably the person who sleeps the best in the entire base.

The situation was a little better the next day, perhaps because no one got much sleep.

There was an inexplicable mental fatigue, so in the professional context, everyone's attitude softened.

Seleu found Nadezhda in the hall.

Nadezhda's injuries were a little better at this time, at least compared to the beginning, she was able to have a conversation and move slightly.

"For a moment, I thought I was really going to die."

When Nadezhda spoke, all members of the Night Raid were present.

“For someone who has died once, can he still accept death calmly?”

Nadezhda asked.

"Yes, I have seen how powerful you are, but before that, I have seen the deep darkness of the empire."

Nadezhda smiled.

"My mission here is to deal with the Night Raid. I also believe that the Empire is dark."

"But I will have to consider what to do after this. I may not kill you, but you must remain silent for a while."

"Leave here temporarily. I don't care where you go, but you can't carry out any activities anymore."

"I will give you news when necessary. I don't need you to do anything for me, but the empire is also my goal."

Sailu said softly.

"So, do you want Night Raid to help you?"

Nadezhda was silent for a moment.

"If you want to think so, it's actually pretty much the same. Think about it carefully, Nadezhda."

"What kind of people are the Revolutionary Army? They are brutal and wanton. Why would we want to conspire with such people to achieve great things?"

"Even if your goal is achieved one day, it will only be a new round of oppression."

What Sai Liu said at this moment was what Lin Yu asked her to say.

These words might not have been what Seleu originally intended, but they were a huge shock to Nadezhda.

After witnessing the power of Celestial, Nadezhda unconsciously began to consider a new path.

At this moment, Nadezhda fell into a long silence.

Nadezhda's eyes first swept over Seleu, then looked at the other members of the Night Raid.

"If I disagree, does that mean..."

Nadezhda's expression was serious.

She wanted to get a definite answer from Sailu, but Sailu just nodded slightly.

Nadezhda certainly didn't want to see all the members of Night Raid die.

Once again, Nadezhda faces a life-changing decision.

"Okay, we'll help you."

Nadezhda finally nodded.

So, Sailu stretched out his hand, and shot the seed of love power into the brows of all the members of the Night Raid.

All members of the Night Raid soon looked at each other strangely.

They didn't understand what it was, but they could feel the threat it posed, as if their lives were being grabbed by an invisible hand.

That hand could take their lives at any time, and after possessing this seed of love power, their strength was enhanced to varying degrees.

They clearly had a new understanding of Celia, but they also felt the mystery of Celia.

Under Sailu's arrangement, all members of the night raid team quietly withdrew from the base, trying their best to avoid leaving any traces when they left.

They left like the wind, and soon only hunters were left in the base.

The hunters quickly became busy when they realized this. They searched the base over and over again, and a horrifying fact exploded in their minds.

"Captain, it's bad. All the people who came to attack at night have escaped."

Will quickly ran to Seleu and breathlessly told him his discovery.

"I have dealt with the people who attacked at night. They are already dead. I can go back and report now."

Sailu disagreed.

"But...where are their bodies?"

Will asked again.

"I told you, I've already dealt with it, the same goes for the body."

Silu waved his hand.

Will originally wanted to say something, but when he thought about Sailu's strength, it seemed that there was no problem.

So Seleucus reorganized the hunters and took them back to the imperial capital.

When they entered the imperial capital, the people lined the streets to welcome them, as if what the hunters had achieved was a victory in a major war.

There was no reason for a special force like the Hunters to be hyped up, not to mention that this was probably not Esdeath's style.

Until at the end of his sight, what Seleu saw was Ernest clapping non-stop.

Esdeath didn't even show up.

It is hard not to doubt Ernest's motives when he appears at this time.

What on earth does this guy want to do? If he did all these, it means that he, as an imperial minister, is now doing trivial things.

This was originally what his subordinates should have done, such as the four Rakshasa ghosts around him.

"I know you can complete this mission."

As they got closer, Ernest leaned over to talk.

They kept smiling because there were people all around them. Even if the relationship between them was not good, they still had to shake hands and wave to keep looking cheerful.

"How did Minister Ernest know that I must have completed the task?"

Sailu said calmly.

"I saw you guys outside the city when you came back. All of you are here. It's obviously a big win."

Ernest was very happy about this.

His face was full of smiles, but he was too fat, and his originally small eyes were almost invisible when he smiled.

"I am very happy about this and have arranged a celebration party. You will like it."

Ernest smiled.

"Will General Esdeath come?"

Sailu asked softly.

Seleu's question hit the nail on the head. The hunter's clear superior was Esdeath, but Esdeath was not here at this time and in this situation.

Ernest was present in person, but according to the authority, there was no need for Ernest to appear.

This obviously means that Ernest bypassed Esdeath and wanted to contact Seleu alone.

"I don't know this."

Ernest deliberately left this concept vague.

Then the four Rakshasa ghosts distributed invitations to the banquet to all the hunters.

"If that's the case, I definitely need to go take a look."

Sailu nodded.

The hunters were all very interested in the banquet, and they even had a deep filter for Ernest.

It seems that in the eyes of other members of the Hunters, Ernest is truly an important imperial official who cares about his subordinates and serves the country and the people.

Before the banquet, the hunters changed into beautiful clothes.

It seemed that in their eyes, this was their chance to enter upper society.

Soon all the hunters went to the banquet, which was held at the top hotel in the entire imperial capital, a place that was almost impossible for the hunters to visit with their income.

The carpets here are extraordinary, and the lights and wine are bright and there is an air of luxury everywhere.

Most of those who can attend are powerful officials in the court, and they are familiar with everything here.

Obviously, this was not their first time to come to such a place; they could even be considered regulars here.

The powerful always like to gather in such places. Small nobles need to win over big nobles in exchange for benefits, while big nobles need to use such occasions to operate and consolidate their position.

Huge amounts of money flow here, and often a key position in the empire can be determined over a few drinks with just one order.

The banquet was a cover, but it was more of a transition of power.

Ernest did not appear, but Seleu could easily imagine that he must be here somewhere.

Quietly observing the expressions of everyone present, this might be a pleasure for him because he is the pinnacle of this country.

"Captain, the stakes are huge over there."

Will couldn't help but sigh.

Will had previous experience in the Navy, which was not a military service that always had combat missions.

Sometimes when he has free time, Will will be dragged to play cards with his seniors.

But when they are on the boat, they usually play very small.

It’s nothing more than winning or losing a few gold coins, and sometimes food is used as a stakes.

But the amount of money at the banquet now was so huge that Will could not imagine.

He might never be able to earn that much money in his entire life, and Will originally wanted to get involved so as to mingle with these big shots.

But in reality, Will simply couldn't fit in, no matter in terms of amount of money or status.

This is a place where power is traded, and the hunters are just combatants.

Ernest nominally invited the hunter, but he did not show up, nor did he say it was a celebration party.

If the dignitaries present thought this was just an ordinary dinner party.

It was like a regular show they had been doing before.

So the hunters' arrival seemed like an accident. They were like sudden intruders, out of tune with everything here.

For example, Hei Tong is very quiet most of the time, but when she is hungry, she will touch two biscuits and put them in her mouth.

She ate the cake while taking it at the same time. She was quick with her eyes and hands and put the ones she liked into her bag when no one was paying attention.

Porus was sitting in the corner, but his appearance and size attracted many people's attention. Porus was sensitive and felt restless.

The only one who is still okay is probably Lan.

However, most of the people around him are women, and these women are generally the wives and daughters of powerful people.

Therefore, the powerful people looked at Lan with great displeasure.

The originally harmonious atmosphere became weird because of the appearance of the hunter.

They don't fit in, they don't belong here at all.

The hunters' enthusiasm began to wane, and their physical awkwardness was the best manifestation of this.

Almost half an hour after the banquet started, the real host quietly appeared.

Yes, the real protagonist has never been the theme of the party. No matter how great the military exploits of the hunters are, they can only get cheers from the general public.

But in the eyes of the powerful, they are no different from the guards and bodyguards standing at the door.

Ernest walked slowly down the stairs and the music stopped abruptly.

As Ernest appeared, thunderous applause broke out in the banquet hall.

Those nobles who were seeking something seemed to have put in all their life's efforts.

Ernest enjoyed this feeling. His eyes swept across everyone's faces and he stretched out his hands to signal everyone present to be quiet.

Then he waved to the hunters.

The banquet hall suddenly became quiet as people began to realize why the hunter was here.

This was Ernest's arrangement.

Ernest praised the hunters' achievements and then gave an impassioned speech, which livened up the atmosphere of the entire banquet.

There was another thunderous roar and applause.

The other hunters seemed to like this approach, a classic case of first suppressing and then praising.

The hunters' vanity was greatly satisfied, and they waved everywhere, as if to get along with everyone present.

The banquet continued, the music sounded again, people began to dance, the lights dimmed, and shadows flickered on everyone's faces.

Ernest took Seleu to the second floor, which was more spacious and more monotonous than the lower floor.

There are not many seats here, only one or two sofas, and the four Rakshasa ghosts are guarding the entrance to the stairs.

Obviously, no one would be allowed up easily without Ernest's permission.

It was as if this place belonged exclusively to Ernest.

"This is my private room. I invested in this hotel. Only three people have been to this attic in the past."

"And you are the fourth person."

Ernest poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Seleu.

"Who are those three people?"

Sailu suddenly felt curious.

"The first one is Esdeath. She is very outstanding. There is no reason not to get in touch with her. She was very young at that time and was the future of the empire."

"It seems that every time she goes out to fight, it will definitely bring victory."

"But in fact, her personality is not likable, but her strength and achievements can prove everything."

Ernest said softly.

"You can guess."

Sailu nodded.

It would be abnormal for Ernest not to contact someone like Esdeath. After all, Esdeath not only holds terrifying power, but also an army.

"The second person is Nadezhda."

"She was once our second choice because she was more suitable than Esdeath, both in terms of brains and courage."

“But she wanted different things than we did, so she ended up going down the wrong path.”

Ernest took a deep breath. (End of this chapter)
