Chapter 26
There is actually no right or wrong in this matter.
Esdeath is not cruel to other ethnic groups, but other ethnic groups will also harm innocent civilians on the border of the empire.
Unless the unification of multiple ethnic groups is achieved, this kind of feud will never end.
After all, this world has not developed to the level of civilization before Bai Ye traveled through time, just like it is unreasonable to criticize and attack the ancient feudal dynasty with modern moral values.
In the feudal era, it was almost impossible to treat enemy prisoners and enemy civilians preferentially, and the quality of the army could not be very high.
It can only be said that General Najeshitan is probably too kind.
Of course, the atrocities of the army led by Esdeath are just an opportunity. The most fundamental reason should still be the darkness of the empire. As a general, Najeshitan should know those dark and corrupt phenomena.
"General Najeshitan has now become a member of the revolutionary army. No, she should not be called a general, but a rebel army."
Sailu said: "But the most dangerous enemy at the moment is the 'Night Raid', which is rampant in the imperial capital. The members of the 'Night Raid' seem to be all imperial weapon users."
"Let's wait and see for now. Unless they kill innocent people or come to trouble us, there is no need to regard them as enemies."
Bai Ye said lightly.
As long as the "Night Raid" really specializes in assassinating those corrupt officials and evil people, he has no intention of being hostile to the "Night Raid".
The darkness and corruption of the empire are caused by those assassinated targets. Bai Ye even hopes that they will be killed.
............
Today, someone came to the palace to ask to see the minister.
In the palace, the current minister is eating and drinking.
His name is Ernest, and he is the real culprit who made the entire empire so dark and corrupt.
He looks fat, but he is actually a strong man. He received strict training when he was young, which is why he can maintain a healthy body despite overeating all day long.
"Lord Ernest, the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, Oka, was killed. It was the deputy captain Bai Ye and an imperial weapon named Sailu who did it. I feel that Bai Ye's behavior does not seem to be in the same group with us..."
The man who asked to see the minister was also an official of high status. It was obvious that he was related to Oka. At this time, he knelt on one knee in front of the minister and said.
At the same time, he was also one of the corrupt officials who were in cahoots with Minister Ernest.
"I have heard about it. The news of Oka's death is really sad. It made me eat two more sausages."
Minister Ernest was crying and saying some nonsense. The food in his hand almost never stopped.
The man seemed to have long been accustomed to the appearance of Minister Ernest, and he didn't react much.
"But you don't have to worry about Bai Ye. He is a talent recommended by General Esdeath himself."
Minister Ernest's expression changed faster than turning a page, and he suddenly became calm. "I also heard that Oka invited three masters of the Royal Fist Temple to assassinate Bai Ye, but they were all killed by Bai Ye. No wonder General Esdeath thinks so highly of him. I suddenly feel that he is probably a very qualified killer."
There is a cooperative relationship between Esdeath and Minister Ernest, and Minister Ernest knows that Esdeath is only interested in war and doesn't care about politics at all, so he trusts Esdeath very much.
He needs Esdeath to resist foreign enemies and consolidate the rule of the empire, and he also regards Esdeath as a trump card to deal with General Bud.
General Bud is the supreme commander of the imperial army. Before Esdeath grew up, General Bud was the "strongest" in the empire. Even after Esdeath grew up, the two were equally strong in the empire.
So Minister Ernest was very afraid of the threat of General Bud.
For Esdeath, Minister Ernest gave her the military power she wanted, and even the imperial weapon, satisfying her desire for fighting and killing.
And Esdeath has always been interested in fighting with General Bud, so she is happy to cooperate with Minister Ernest.
As Bai Ye is a talent promoted by Esdeath himself, Minister Ernest naturally prefers Bai Ye to that Ouka.
He hopes that the people under Esdeath are as strong as possible, so that he doesn't have to worry about General Bud.
"Is... is that so..."
The man was a little panicked when he heard it, "I am ignorant, I didn't know that it was a talent that General Esdeath valued."
Because he knew that Minister Ernest was moody, and he might die if he was not careful.
However, Minister Ernest ignored him at all, but thought about Bai Ye's affairs, "Let's do this, let him transfer to the assassination departmentTeam work, and expand the assassination team to deal with the "night raid" and the revolutionary army. "
"Yes!"
The man didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of saying something wrong and angering the minister.
When he left the palace in disgrace, Esdeath just walked in from outside.
Esdeath didn't even look at the man.
"Esdeath, it's a good thing that you're back. The Bai Ye you introduced before has done some interesting things recently."
Minister Ernest looked very welcoming to Esdeath's return.
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Esdeath said with interest.
Unlike other people who had to kneel in front of Minister Ernest, Esdeath was completely equal.
"The original captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, Oka, died a few days ago. That guy invited three masters of the Royal Fist Temple to assassinate Bai Ye, but they were killed by Bai Ye. He is worthy of being the talent you recommended. "
Minister Ernest said.
"Of course, three masters of the Royal Fist Temple alone can't kill him."
Esdeath didn't show any surprise on her face. She knew that Bai Ye was very powerful.
"And he also accepted an apprentice, I think his name is Seleu, his apprentice is also interesting, and he successfully matched the imperial weapon 'Hundred-armed Giant'."
Minister Ernest seemed to be talking to Esdeath, and also seemed to be talking to himself, "Suddenly I feel that it is not bad for this imperial weapon user to switch to the assassination team."
"Seleu?"
Esdeath didn't know Seleu at all, but the name sounded like a girl's name.
Her eyes were slightly cold, "Is she a woman?"
"It seems so, I'm not too clear, I just remember that it seems to be a little sister who always talks about "justice". "
Minister Ernest hardly ever left the palace, and of course his subordinates told him about Bai Ye and Seleu.
"I understand. I'll go to the Imperial Guard."
After saying that, Esdeath turned and left.
Minister Ernest immediately muttered to himself in confusion, "Huh? Why do I feel that General Esdeath seems a little unhappy today? Maybe it's an illusion."

ps: General Bud is very strong in the comics, and his strength is actually in line with the title of "the strongest". He is just a stubborn and loyal "royalist". The animation may have changed him to be a little ugly.
