Start from Firefly and speed through the world

So...should I choose to kill Esdeath?

But this seemed a bit of a waste, so Najeshitan fell silent, thinking about how to deal with the problem of Esdeath.

"As for Esdeath, maybe Clara can try to convince her to join..."

When Clara heard Najeshitan mention the issue of Esdeath, she quickly stood up and said that compared to others, Esdeath was easier to convince.

Because of the concept of the survival of the fittest, as a loser, Esdeath doesn't have any objection to the strong people who defeated her, so it's a little easier.

Therefore, it is easier to convince Esdeath than other Hunter members who have their own beliefs.

The only difference is that Clara is not trying to persuade Esdeath to join the revolutionary army, but to join her own camp.

"Convince Esdeath to join us? Is that possible?"

Najeshitan was stunned when she heard this, and her first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible to do.

No one knows Esdeath better than her. Not only is that guy's strength, but his personality cannot be viewed with human eyes.

"Maybe, so Clara wants to give it a try."

Clara didn't make any guarantees, but she still had some confidence.

"It would be great if she could really join us. This way, the chances of overthrowing the empire would be even greater."

Although she felt it was unlikely that Esdeath could be convinced, Najenda couldn't help but think that if she could really join, overthrowing the empire would be just around the corner.

Because of the robots, the revolutionary army advanced faster on the battlefield. Plus, they captured Esdeath, and she suddenly felt... the success of the revolution seemed just around the corner.

"Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Mr. Swarlow to get rid of her once and for all."

Najeshitan decided to let Clara give it a try, even though there was a high probability that it would not succeed.

But it didn't matter, as she could get rid of Esdeath later. She was actually very worried about keeping Esdeath or handing her over to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Death might be the best outcome. Esdeath is too dangerous.

The meeting lasted for quite a while before it ended. Everyone unanimously decided that it would be best to persuade the hunters if possible, after all, some of them were relatives and friends of the Night Raid members.

For example, Black Eyes...

Even though Akame said that she didn't care and could kill her sister, it was clear that she still cared about her sister deep down.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I still hope to give it a try. I will only choose to kill if I really cannot convince the other party.

These hunters are not bad people and have their own ideals and ambitions, but in the final analysis, they are just in different camps and it is impossible to just let them go.

......

"hateful!"

"It's still too weak."

In a separate room, Esdeath tried to struggle with the handcuffs on her hands, but even though she tortured her wrists until they bled, she still couldn't break free of their control.

Not only that, even the control over the ice was completely ineffective.

Even the body is always in a weak state. This magical handcuff is even more terrifying than the imperial weapon.

Even an imperial weapon of the same type cannot control her.

Esdeath did not resent anyone for this, she just felt that her strength was not enough. It was simply because she was too weak that she was captured.

If given the chance, she would continue to become stronger as before and defeat her opponent again.

It seems that she has lived too peacefully these years. She has not met anyone who can fight with her seriously, and she has become a little lazy in training.

I should work harder to become stronger.

but……

"This long-lost feeling of powerlessness is really...great..."

Although she was defeated by others, Esdeath now had a goal to catch up with, and this feeling made her excited.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened... a cowardly-looking little girl with white hair walked in, causing Esdeath to stop.

"You actually let such a little girl come here. I haven't seen you for so long. Doesn't Najeshitan dare to come out and see me in person?"

After looking at the girl in front of her for a few times, Esdeath didn't notice the second person and couldn't help but smile sarcastically. She was already like this now, but Najeshitan didn't even dare to come in person.

ridiculous......

Although it was unclear what would happen next, Esdeath didn't care.

At most it's death.

The strong decide the fate of the weak, and if she fails, she is the weak one...

Even death is normal. The weak are not qualified to decide their own destiny. If you want to dominate your destiny, you have to become stronger than anyone else.

But what surprised Esdeath was that the girl in front of her didn't seem to be afraid of her. Instead, she walked up to her and squatted down.

"Um... General Esdeath, the strong prey on the weak... the strong dominate the weak, that's what you said, right?"

Clara hugged her cheeks, and although her tone was soft and tender, the words she said made Esdeath stunned.

This little guy, what does it mean...

"Right, so what are you going to say?!"

Although she was confused, Esdeath did not deny what she had said.

After all, this is how the world is.

"So now Clara is the winner, can she decide your fate?"

"?"

Esdeath was about to say something when the next moment... Swarovski appeared behind Clara.

Looking at the familiar mechanical creation in front of her, Esdeath suddenly realized that the steel mechanical creature that defeated her was actually the imperial weapon of the little girl in front of her.

It's really hard to accept!

I actually lost to a girl like this.

"I see. I didn't expect that I would be defeated by your imperial weapon. The strong decide the fate of the weak. What are you going to do... I have nothing to say..."

After understanding the situation, Esdeath no longer took Clara's cowardly look seriously.

The Imperial Equipment is a part of the Imperial Equipment User. Swarovski's strength also represents Clara's strength, so she has nothing to be angry about losing to the loli in front of her.

For Esdeath, there is no right or wrong in this world, only strong and weak.

Weakness is the original sin; this is what her father taught her since she was a child.

Especially at that time, when she returned from hunting, she found that her entire clan had been wiped out by the northern foreign tribes. From then on, she became more convinced that the only way to survive was to become strong.

Any painful experience can only be attributed to one’s own weakness.

Even if Clara killed her now, she would not feel any resentment, because her strength was inferior to hers.

The weak deserve to be bullied or even killed by the strong. Those dangerous species, humans, and hundreds of thousands of ethnic minorities killed by her were weak, so they deserved to be killed by her.

The same is true if you are killed by someone else.

Because of weakness...

"Really? In that case... General Esdeath, can you be Clara's pet?"

Clara seemed to be waiting for her to say this. She stretched out her little hand and placed it on Esdeath's head, as if she was stroking a dog's head, and said something that surprised Esdeath.

It is not easy to conquer this sadistic queen in front of you. This is a decision that Clara has thought about many times.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable, a hint of anticipation appeared in my heart.

Wouldn't it be interesting to let a queen like Esdeath experience what she often does to others?

"you……"

Hearing this, Esdeath was stunned. She wanted to do something but found that she had lost the ability to resist.

The little girl in front of her actually dared to say that to her. She was really bold. But she soon calmed down. This was also the fate of a loser.

It's just that Esdeath never thought that she would encounter such a thing. She has always let others lie in front of her like dogs and lick her boots.

What goes around comes around, and today it's my turn.

"Think about it carefully, General Esdeath. If you die, you will have nothing. As long as you are alive, you still have the opportunity to become stronger and take revenge."

"Clara, can you ask Mr. Swarlow to be ready for your challenge at any time? How about that?"

The girl didn't mind Esdeath challenging her again. After losing the first time, there would be no chance for her to defeat Swarovski next time.

So it doesn’t matter, why not make it a condition?

Anyway, as long as Esdeath has a battlefield where she can hunt and fight, she doesn't care who she serves.

She is not a loyal subject of the empire.

She joined the empire simply because it provided her with a battlefield and a platform for killing.

These are not impossible to provide...

Chapter 57: Harmony of the Star God Xipe

"You're not going to kill me?"

Esdeath didn't care about Clara's humiliation of her, she just looked up and looked into the girl's eyes with cold eyes.

From what she said, she was not going to kill her, but would give herself a chance to work harder.

"If you agree, Clara will not let Mr. Swarlow kill you, as long as you promise..."

Clara took back her little hand and spoke in a serious tone.

Although there are mechanical creations to help, building a mechanical empire still requires manpower. With Esdeath's help, it will be much more convenient.

As for fighting and killing, even if you don’t like it, it is inevitable.

At the end of the empire, even if the empire collapsed, there would be no shortage of ambitious people who wanted to occupy land and become kings and start fighting for supremacy. What's more, there were so many foreign regimes and Western countries...

The chaos that followed the fall of the empire would only intensify.

This is essential at the end of any great unified dynasty.

The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the separatist regimes in various places at the end of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties all illustrate this point.

On the contrary, the description of the revolutionary army establishing a new country in the original anime and comics is too simple. How could the division between the parties be so simple?

Only through true grand unification can we achieve success.

Not only this ancient civilization with a thousand-year history, but also the territories surrounding the empire, the western kingdoms, the southern islands and the northern frozen land.

Even the uncivilized island countries in the East have completely unified the world!

"Ah……"

She had no hatred for this little humiliation. Compared to the losers who fell into her hands, it was nothing.

It’s just that the little girl in front of me is a little too confident.

"If you don't intend to kill me, I hope you won't regret it later."

She admitted that the robot behind Clara was powerful, but she didn't kill her now and instead gave herself a chance. I hope she won't regret it.

This failure aroused Esdeath's desire to become stronger again.

"So you agreed?"

"..."

Esdeath didn't want to admit it, but she didn't deny it either.

Although she was never afraid of death, she wanted to become stronger and then crush the powerful enemy in front of her. Not killing her immediately must be the thing she regretted most.

And what happened before this was not completely unacceptable. When you defeat the opponent again, it will be even more satisfying to return the favor twice as much.

"If you don't say anything, Clara, just assume that you agreed to this, General Esdeath."

Clara reached out and touched Esdeath's head again, as if she was touching a dog's head.

She had no intention of winning her back because that was simply impossible. The ideas that Esdeath had grown up with were not so easy to change.

In short, as long as she remains stronger than him, she will not play two-faced until she officially defeats Mr. Swarovski.
