Chapter 95

Esdeath was her former friend and colleague. When she was still an imperial general, they went on an expedition against the ethnic minorities on the southwest border.

She witnessed Esdeath single-handedly burying the city of ethnic minorities in an instant, wiping out hundreds of thousands of civilians along with the city, including powerless women and children. And she condoned the evil deeds of her "Three Beasts."

She watched as Nyau skinned innocent girls alive and filled boxes one after another. Daidara used a knife to chop off the innocent children's heads bit by bit, stringing them together and dragging them away. It was from that moment that she knew she could not change the empire from within, so she chose to join the revolutionary army and was hunted down by two Teigu users of the empire on the way.

Najenda clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "Esdeath...why...are you here? What's going on?"

Esdeath looked over, a little surprised, and immediately understood: "It turns out to be you, my former friend. It's not surprising that you appear here."

Najenda stared at her. "Why are you here?"

Esdeath didn't care about this former friend's hostility towards her and said, "At present, we are in the same camp. I was conquered by the 'God of Gods.' Now I am his dependent."

Najenda was confused. What is "God above Gods"? But she understood the meaning. Esdeath was conquered by a certain 'god' and now became an ally.

Esdeath used to be her friend, and she understood Esdeath's will very well. She believed that the strong conquer the weak, and the weak become the property of the strong. It was natural for them to be taken away by life and death. Now she was conquered by something stronger.

Furina recovered from her confusion and realized that this was the case. At first, she thought it was Lord Tianli coming, but when she felt the divine power that was much more powerful than her and the rules of ice, she thought it was the Cryo Archon from Snezhnaya. After seeing Esdeath's appearance and hearing what she said, Furina realized that Esdeath was captured by Lord Tianli and became one of their own.

Esdeath looked at Furina. She was weaker than herself, even weaker than she was before she became a god. Is this the Hydro Archon? Although Furina was weak, she and Esdeath were now colleagues, so Esdeath decided to protect her a little from now on. Although she was cruel to her enemies, she was very generous to her friends and subordinates.

"Furina, right? Master asked me to cooperate with you in executing the plan."

Furina came back to her senses: "Oh, oh, oh, cooperate with me to execute the plan? Then how are you going to cooperate with me to execute the plan?"

Esdeath continued, "I will go back and continue to lead the empire's army to attack the northern border city. You just need to send people over to take over."

Furina nodded. "I understand. When will we start taking action?"

Her heart couldn't help but start to race. Although she had lived for five hundred years, she had never seen a million-strong army attacking a city. And now she was a participant.

Everyone in the original "Night Raid" team of the newly established "Shadow Chasing Court" took a deep breath, especially Najenda. She knew that more than half of the empire's army was in the hands of Esdeath, the general. And those troops were far more loyal to Esdeath than the emperor. The soldiers had long treated Esdeath as a god and worshipped her powerful power.

If Esdeath wasn't just powerful in force, not a strategist, and didn't have any desire for power, but only wanted to ravage the enemy, the empire wouldn't have handed over a million troops to her.

Najenda was very excited. "The empire will probably be completely destroyed in one day."

The current power of 'Lady Furina' had been enough to completely put the empire and the revolutionary army into the coffin. Now, with the addition of Esdeath, the strongest person in the empire, and her millions of troops, the coffin had been completely nailed down.

Esdeath said, "Okay, I have informed you. Whether you can catch up next is your own business."

After saying that, she turned around and stepped into the 'Gate of the World' again. The Gate of the World would send 'Esdeath' to the front of her former million-strong army.

After Esdeath left, Furina hurriedly went to find Neuvillette. Neuvillette called back Clorinde and half of the elite law enforcement and special patrol teams who were attacking the city around Jerrock. After giving some details, he entered the World Gate and headed to the northern border.

The northern frontier of the empire.

Esdeath had not been taken away by Asmodeus for more than a day, and the empire's army had not yet left the northern border area. However, because their general, Esdeath, who was the source of their faith, was 'killed' by the gods, all the soldiers seemed to have lost their souls and marched without energy. Shocked by Asmodeus's divine power, one-third of the horses had died.

The state of Ru Sang Kaopi's army seemed not to be the army of a king who had just won a battle, but a group of defeated soldiers. From time to time, you could hear the soldiers murmuring listlessly.

"General Esdeath is dead."

"Killed by gods."

"The general is gone."

"What should we do if the general is gone?"

At this moment, an ice wall suddenly erected in front of the million-strong army.

Click, click, click—

The horses neighed, and the soldiers in front screamed.

"What's going on? Why did the ice wall suddenly appear?!"

This scene was so familiar, it seemed to be the ability of General Esdeath.

A sharp-eyed soldier noticed something and pointed at the figure on the ice wall in surprise: "Look at the ice wall!"

"That is!"

"That's General Esdeath!"

"How is that possible?! That's General Esdeath!"

"Isn't the general killed by the gods? Is that the general?"

"Idiot, besides the general, who else has such a power zone!"

"I saw that right, it's really General Esdeath."

"What's going on?"

Esdeath looked down at the million-strong army she led. "Hey! Listen to my order. The entire army stops marching, and all commanders come to me."

Although they were still confused as to why the general who was killed by the gods appeared here alive, the commanders still tentatively came to Esdeath. When they saw it was indeed General Esdeath, they burst into tears.

Esdeath simply explained what they were confused about. After all the doubts were cleared, Esdeath looked at them with ice-blue eyes.

"I respect your choice, but after making the choice, you will no longer be my subordinates and soldiers, but my enemy."
