DNF, made by the ancient gods

Before his beloved Najeshtan came to teach him a lesson, Leonai, who was an active member of Night Raid, spoke first.She could not help but frown as she sniffed the inexplicable and unpleasant smell in the air.

"What did you find?"

"The smell here is very messy, extremely heavy medicine smell, light or heavy smell of different people, and... the smell of dangerous species?"

Hearing this, Najie Xitan frowned slightly. At this moment, Leonai had already activated Teigu, and his sense of smell had been greatly improved. Naturally, there would be no gaps in these issues.

"Among them, the smell of medicine can't be distinguished, and the smell of dangerous species is too strong. I can't do anything about those beasts that are full of smell, only..."

He raised his head and stared at the direction Baige was going away.

"The only thing that can be distinguished in detail is the smell of humans. Among them, many of the smells are vague. These people should not have stayed here for a long time...but there is only one that is different."

"That should be the 'master' here, but as far as the smell is concerned, the 'master' here seems to have left, and this residual smell...should have just left."

"That is to say, we happened to be staggered?"

"It should be... wait!"

Her pupils contracted slightly, and Leonai yelled when she smelled a certain smell, but she herself kept a careful eye on the soles of her feet, and then rushed in with her extraordinary physical fitness.

"—Follow up first."

Hearing this, everyone quickly followed in.As a qualified assassin, each of them knows when to talk too much and when not to talk too much.

Since Leonai is in such a hurry, there must be no time for them to hesitate... Besides, they also trust their companions——Leonai is very smart, and it is absolutely impossible for them to take them in. dead.

"Quick, follow up!"

Leonai's speed is very fast, but everyone will not slow her down much.I saw that everyone caught up with Leonai who had stopped in a very short time.During this process, Leonai found the door to the basement by smell, and they followed.

Standing in front of the cage that Baige "carefully" made, looking at a handful of ashes inside the cage, Leonai clenched his fists tightly, his expression inevitably gloomy.

"This is……"

"We're late."

Leonai squatted down, staring at the pinch of ashes.

"This should be the ashes left by humans being burned by fire, and judging from the smell and temperature remaining in the air...he just died not long ago."

At this moment, everyone had time to observe the surrounding environment, but at the next moment, the scene that greeted their eyes made their breathing stagnant.

"—Looks like we've come to the right place."

Chapter 063 Politics

December 1, 1 in the new calendar

——Today will be a special day.

The imperial general who won the victory lowered his head, and the sun shone on her body, but it couldn't make her feel any joy or warmth.Her face was gloomy, and the soldiers behind her were even more angry.

Because they were ordered to retreat, and they were about to come to accept "punishment" at this moment.

"It's too much. We helped the generals of Shilao Pass to defend Shihu Pass. Without us, Shihu Pass would have been breached by the Anning Army."

"That is, General Esdes is clearly capable of counterattacking the An Ning Army, but he was cut off from food by the empire at a critical moment! Are the heads of these imperial officials made of tofu!?"

Said bitterly, the army led by Esdeth will have special respect for this general.But this time, the crime suffered by the entire army together with Esdes was obviously unacceptable to them.

Just five days ago, Esdes, who had been watching this battle for a long time, seized the opportunity one step at a time. She kept most of her troops to guard the recaptured area on the west side of the empire, and she led the A small group of people rushed to the east of the empire to surprise the An Ning army.

Facts have proved that her decision-making is extremely correct. Her sensitive thinking and decisive decision-making brought an unprecedented victory to the empire-the loss of 3 people started to setback the momentum of the Anning Army. The number of soldiers they died in the battle has exceeded the total number of deaths in all previous battles.

——Esdeth is extremely good at killing everything, and in the eyes of those who oppose her, she is completely indistinguishable from a demon.

However, my hero is the enemy's enemy.

In the eyes of the An Ning Army, Esdeth is extremely hateful, but in the eyes of the people of the empire, Esdesh is no different from a patron saint, and has brought back a round for the successively frustrated empire.At the same time, it forced the Anning Army to retreat to other cities far away from Shihu Pass, which also cut off the possibility of the Anning Army using Shihu Pass, which is very close to the imperial capital, as a springboard to directly attack the imperial capital.

——This naturally makes the people of the imperial capital extremely happy.

However, these civilians who are cheering for the safety of themselves and others do not know what a huge chain of interests their "heroes" have touched.

Because of this, when Esdesi applied for material support and wanted to send troops to retake the area occupied by the Anning Army, he was firmly opposed by imperial officials, so that twelve "imperial decrees" were issued one after another, forcing Make Esdes immediately return to court and accept "punishment".

The reason is that Esdes "disobeyed the dispatch", "violated military discipline", "dispatched troops privately", and "disobeyed the imperial edict".

Many heavy charges directly suppressed this general who could freeze the entire city—she might be able to resist, but out of a sense of responsibility to her subordinates, and facing the imperial capital cutting off the food supply to Shihuguan, countless people suffered. Despite being hungry and suffering, she still chose to go back to court as a teacher.

In this situation where even the blitzkrieg was not unable to start due to lack of initial supplies, even she could not continue the war.

"Damn it! The revolutionary army in the west is like a paper tiger. There is no threat at all. It is a waste of time to send General Esdes to calm down."

"General Esdes was able to gain insight into the war opportunity, see the current situation clearly, save the safety of the imperial capital by himself, and pull the entire empire out of the quagmire. Violating military discipline, mobilizing troops privately, disobeying the imperial decree... What a brain disorder!"

The tone was rather annoyed.

"If we really act according to the imperial decree and obediently put down the revolutionary army, I am afraid that by the time we return to the court, the imperial capital will have changed hands!?"

"I see, they are clearly targeting General Esdes!"

"I can see clearly, this group of traitors, they clearly want to destroy the empire! Behind the scenes, they may have received a lot of benefits from the An Ning Army!"

The volume of the conversation of the soldiers behind them gradually increased, and their tone became more and more annoyed.Seeing this, the imperial general who had already reached the gate of the imperial capital raised his hand, and the entire army fell silent because of her move.

"Give me peace, and whoever dares to say a word, stand up for me and ask the officer above you to receive punishment."

The majestic spirit spread from Esdeth, and she slightly lowered the brim of her hat, scanning the entire army with cold eyes.

What satisfied her was that no one in this army dared to make unnecessary noises in front of her.

The coercion she has accumulated over the years is still very strong, not to mention that the entire army almost has a kind of blind worship for her.This also led to her super high voice in the army.

Looking directly at the gate of the imperial capital, the metal iron hooves kept stepping on the stone brick floor and made an inconspicuous collision sound. It turned out that the horse under its feet was stepping forward again, ready to move forward.

But at the next moment, Estes narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at an inconspicuous small lighthouse.

--no one?

*

The moment before Esdeth looked back, Baige, who had been on guard for a long time, used teleportation to escape from the lighthouse—thanks to his soul, which was far beyond the level, his reaction was very quick.

"Is this... an intuition honed from the battle?"

Watching those troops, Baige didn't overpower himself to spy on Esdeth. During that brief long-distance contact, he probably figured out the gap between himself and her.

"This perception of danger is sometimes really unreasonable..."

——He also has a certain "feeling", which is an "instinct" honed in 16 years of life in the devil world.But even so, his perception of danger is not as good as that of Estes.

This woman seems to be born for fighting.

"How strong is the energy fluctuation in her body?"

- Level: 44

Bai Ge, who had already opened the book, squinted his eyes slightly. He felt a little threatened—this level of combat power could already ignore Huo Ling and his power, and directly change everything in the war.

After all, his own level is only level 36. Even if the combat power is calculated by the soul, the fire spirit after devouring the souls of the entire city is only level 41. Even if the fire spirit can exert a perfect level 41 combat power, That's not enough to watch either.

In this case, if he ran into Esdeth head-on, he would probably be close to death.

"There is such a character in the empire..."

But the next moment, he opened his eyes slightly, and remembered something that he had neglected.

"However, she seems to be... Tegushi?"

Chapter 064 Politics

This was the first time she stood in this hall for the reason of "being punished".

His cold eyes swept over many civil officials headed by the new minister. They were all standing on her left side, while those standing on her right side had serious faces, adhering to the rule of "military generals will not participate in politics". The generals who lead the concept are the generals.

All the civil servants stood grandly on the shore that had nothing to do with the war, while the generals held their heads high and stared straight ahead—even if there was nothing in front of them.

——This is the current empire.

The imperial general standing in the center of the hall raised his head expressionlessly, and rarely looked at the little emperor whom she had never looked up to—just as she thought, he got rid of the control of Minister Ornest, but the little emperor The emperor has become the puppet of the new minister.

"General Estes, you..."

Hesitating to speak but stopped, the little emperor with his mouth open shook his legs uneasily, clenched the scepter in his hand tightly, and his faint veins tensed accordingly.

"You repelled the An Ning army that was planning to attack Shihuguan, which should be a commendable feat, but..."

Looking at Esdes, the little emperor didn't dare to continue talking - Minister Ernest helped him contact Esdes before, and the communication between him and Esdes was easily eased Many, but today...

It was the first time he saw Esdeth's face so gloomy, which made him tremble with fear.No matter how you say it, Esdeth is a terrifying figure who buried 40 aliens with his own hands. Even with the general watching, he still feels uneasy.

"Your Majesty, is this what you mean?"

Looking at the little emperor who seemed to be stuttering and biting "but" in his mouth, but couldn't say anything, Estes spoke slowly.

"The reason why you called me back to court has already been told to me by the herald, so you don't have to worry about telling me yourself... Now, I just want to know one thing."

"Is this your will?"

Slightly aggravated the tone, which naturally aroused the general's dissatisfaction.

"Esdes, how can you be so undisciplined! Hurry up and apologize to His Majesty!"

General Bude, who was once called "old stubborn" by Esdes and Ornest, yelled at him, but this only attracted a slightly disdainful glance from Esdes.

"This……"

Looking back at the reaction of the new minister, the little emperor, who thought he was doing it very secretly, failed to escape the attention of everyone present.

"It is indeed my will."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, he took a last look at the new minister who was smiling gently, and the corner of Esdesh's mouth curved into a disdainful arc.

"Then, minister, accept the punishment."

The smile on the new minister's face became even stronger.

Esdes's crimes can be big or small-to put it mildly, she is taking the overall situation into consideration, saving the empire from danger, and can be dealt with lightly.But if you go big...

Military generals defied the emperor's will and led the army to join wars in other regions without authorization, which can already be dealt with as the crimes of "treason" and "rebellion".

After all, the profession of generals who wields military power is bound to be suspected by the rulers, and it is understandable that there are such strict laws.

"Read, Esdes, the guilty general, violated His Majesty's imperial decree and disobeyed the laws of the empire. First he left the western front of the empire without authorization, and then led troops to join the eastern battlefield of the empire without authorization. His crime was serious and seriously violated the general's bottom line. People who are so proud of their talents are not the pillars of the empire..."

The crime of Esdes was announced, but as expected by others - the empire did not dare to execute such a strong man. After all, if Esdes resisted, most of the people present might be killed or injured.

"—Remove General Esdeth from his post and relegate him to the rank of a civilian."

Estes, who walked out of the hall again, is no longer that glorious imperial general, she is just a "commoner" at this moment...Of course, if someone really thinks so.

Looking at the prosperous imperial capital, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"—it's really boring."

Of course, there are always some things that can arouse her interest... For example, the letter she received yesterday.

*

January 1, 1st year of the new calendar——

"Master Deputy Commander, we have settled down the members of the former revolutionary army, and the supplies in the army have been properly handled."

"Understood, let's go down first."

"--Yes."

After his subordinates withdrew, Cromwell pulled out the drawer and took out three of the letters.

The first letter was a letter from a big businessman in the imperial capital, and the content of the detailed talk was to let them intensify the war.

This can't help but amaze him.

"A character like Esdeth will be restrained because of political struggles, but it's really ironic..."

He shook his head, paying attention to Esdesh's information, he naturally already knew the news that Esdesh was dismissed by the empire and demoted to a civilian.

While lamenting the fall of this invincible general, he couldn't help paying more attention to the big merchants of the empire—these guys who have penetrated into the political situation are not soft-boiled, and you have to be careful if you want to cooperate with them .

Otherwise, the order established now will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later.

The second letter was sent by the general who defended the city in North Yorkshire. "Smart".
