Chapter 103
Only four people returned to the imperial capital from the northern fortress city, Esdeath and her three beast warriors.
The rest of the soldiers continued to stay in the fortress city to prevent the northern foreigners outside the empire from invading the empire again.
Now the main force of the northern foreigners, that is, the 400,000 troops led by the brave warrior Numa Seka of the North, have been crushed by Esdeath. The soldiers left in the fortress city are enough to deal with the northern foreigners outside the empire.
"Such an expression is really rare on the face of Lord Esdeath. Even a powerful general like Esdeath has fallen in love after all..."
Noticing Lord Esdeath's blushing expression, Liva, one of the three beast warriors, sighed.
"Yes, before this, it was unimaginable that Lord Esdeath would have such a side."
Until now, Niu still feels unbelievable.
The three beast warriors already knew Esdeath quite well, after all, they followed Esdeath to fight everywhere most of the time.
They thought that a battle maniac like Master Esdeath would not be interested in any man.
Daidas had no interest in talking about this topic, and his mind was full of how to get more "experience points".
"I really want to meet the man that Master Esdeath likes."
Niu's tone was a little expectant.
But he was simply curious, what kind of boy Master Esdeath liked?
"Don't worry, when Master Esdeath returns to the imperial capital this time, that man should be our boss."
Riva said lightly.
Master Esdeath had told them before that Bai Ye would not only be the deputy general in the army, but also the boss of the three beast warriors in the near future.
Although there was suddenly an extra boss, the three beast warriors certainly would not have any objections, because this was the decision of Lord Esdeath, and they were absolutely obedient to Lord Esdeath.
For example, if Leva himself had not been selected by Esdeath as one of the three beast warriors, he would probably never get out of the dungeon until his death.
He knew the darkness of the empire very well, because he had been a victim, but now he chose to serve Lord Esdeath instead of the empire, and he only needed to obey Lord Esdeath's orders.
Esdeath's right to speak in the empire was almost absolute. If she was unwilling to do something, no one could force her, no matter whether it was the emperor or Minister Ernest.
Minister Ernest basically did whatever Esdeath wanted to do, because he knew Esdeath's character, so he was very relieved.
Niu held her hands behind her head, "Yes, he will be our boss soon, and I am looking forward to it more and more."
Little did she know that Bai Ye was basically impossible to become Esdeath's deputy general.
............
During this period before Esdeath's return, Bai Ye and others were certainly not idle.
Bai Ye planned to have a preliminary contact between the members of his "Akatsuki" organization and "Night Raid".
Although they had some conflicts with the Revolutionary Army's ideas, Bai Ye felt that the people of "Night Raid" were not so unreasonable after in-depth contact with them.
For example, in his opinion, although Marin had a bad temper, she could listen to what he said, so there was room for negotiation.
In addition, Bai Ye planned to gradually expand the scale of the "Akatsuki" organization.
What he planned was not the "Akatsuki" of the Nagato period, but the "Akatsuki" of the Yahiko period. At that time, Yahiko had many members in the early "Akatsuki", although almost all of them died later.
If you want to expand the "Akatsuki" organization, then you naturally have to do something.
Bai Ye had already arranged for some members to go to the imperial capital to collect various intelligence.
These killers who originally belonged to the imperial assassination force, no one in the imperial capital knew what they looked like, so there was no wanted order like Akame at all.
Even Cai Jiu had never seen their appearance. It was true that he was in charge of the Imperial Assassination Force, but that didn't mean he would go to the assassination force base to pay attention to everyone's appearance.
After all, in his eyes, they were all consumables, and they would be thrown away when they were used up. Only ace-level assassins like Chitong and Heitong would attract his attention, but cattle and horses were still cattle and horses after all, no matter how powerful they were.
So it was most appropriate to let the members other than Heitong go to the Imperial Capital to collect intelligence.
Of course, to do such a thing, you definitely can't all wear fire cloud robes and wander around the streets. A group of people wearing the same clothes appeared on the street. Wouldn't it be obvious to tell others that we are a mysterious organization?
"After these days of investigation, we have witnessed many crimes with our own eyes. Now the Imperial Capital Guard is almost indifferent to those things."Although the patrols are more frequent and stricter than before, it seems that they are only for 'night raids'."
Members who have collected intelligence will report back to Bai Ye regularly, and this time is no exception.
"We will only take the opportunity to save the victims when we are sure that we will not be noticed by the Imperial Capital Guard. If there is no chance, we can't do anything..."
When reporting the situation, there was a trace of self-blame on the girl's face.
In order not to expose their identities in the Imperial Capital, they must seek stability, and they can only watch when there are risks.
"It's okay, you have worked hard."
Bai Ye immediately comforted: "Leave the rest to me. "
"Hmm..."
Next, Bai Ye learned two important pieces of information.
One is that some merchants are secretly smuggling drugs, and they have also used drugs to harm many women through deception. It is suspected that there is a big man protecting them.
The second is that Esdeath has successfully suppressed the northern ethnic groups and buried hundreds of thousands of people alive. He was temporarily recalled to the imperial capital. This news has spread in the imperial capital. Many people admire and respect General Esdeath even more.
"By the way, there is a strange thing. We didn't see the wanted orders for the commander, Hei Tong and Commander Sailu anywhere in the imperial capital. It stands to reason that Cai Jiu should have known what happened at the assassination base before, but he didn't take any action at all?"
"Really... Although I don't know what Cai Jiu is doing, it is always good to have no wanted order. "
This will make it easier for Bai Ye to act in the imperial capital.
Among the information reported, the one that Bai Ye cares most about is that Esdeath is coming back soon.
Sure enough, just as Esdeath threatened before the expedition, it didn't take much time to suppress the northern ethnic groups.
Bai Ye thinks that he should try to solve some things before Esdeath comes back, especially the drug smugglers.
After that, he will focus on dealing with the most dangerous Esdeath...
