Chapter 87
On the front line of the battlefield, the fortress city of the northern aliens.
Originally, the northern aliens, led by the brave warrior of the north, Numa Seka, who was also the prince of the northern aliens, concentrated their elite troops in the fortress city and used it as a base to strengthen the invasion war against the empire.
The northern aliens were at their peak. The brave warrior of the north, Numa Seka, was brave and good at fighting. Facing the corrupt and poorly trained imperial army, he won every battle, causing the empire to lose a lot of territory.
He was brave and resourceful, and was loved by the northern alien people, and was regarded as a powerful threat by the empire.
Therefore, the empire formed a northern expeditionary force to counter the invasion, and Esdeath led the army.
Esdeath and his three beast warriors defeated the 400,000-strong army of the northern aliens with lightning speed, and the so-called brave warrior of the north was also slaughtered. He was not the "strongest" opponent of the empire at all.
"As expected of Lord Esdeath, the dignity of these barbaric foreigners has been trampled by the general!"
"Hahaha, the brave warrior of the north is nothing but a dead dog in front of the general!"
"Only the general can suppress the 400,000-strong army of the northern foreign race almost instantly."
"..."
As Esdeath completely defeated the army of the northern foreign race, the soldiers around him flattered him.
What they said sounded like villain behavior. The imperial army itself was not a good thing, but the northern foreign army was even less a good thing.
You must know that the northern foreign races were the aggressive ones, and the army led by Esdeath was anti-aggression.
"General, there are still hundreds of thousands of survivors in the entire fortress city, including soldiers and civilians. Do you want to take them captives back?"
At this time, a subordinate came to report the situation to Esdeath.
"No, they are all a bunch of wasteful wastes of food. Just bury them all alive. Leave this matter to the three beast warriors."
At this time, Esdeath was sitting on a throne, with her slender legs crossed and her right hand supporting her side face, with a domineering temperament.
She said something chilling in a cold tone.
Even the soldiers were shocked by the cruelty of General Esdeath. These were hundreds of thousands of living people buried alive...
Of course, they were only frightened for a while.
They could not have any sympathy for the enemy, let alone disobey General Esdeath.
First of all, the current situation of the empire could not bear the huge burden brought by hundreds of thousands of captives. Not to mention how much food would be consumed by so many captives, it was still a huge hidden danger and could rebel at any time.
And Esdeath also obeyed the orders from the imperial capital, but she felt that there was no need to explain so much to her subordinates.
Secondly, she really didn't care about the lives of those weak people at all.
It has nothing to do with the hatred of being exterminated by the northern foreign races. Esdeath has always been so ruthless to any enemy.
Under the order of Esdeath, the three beast warriors began to take charge of this matter. First, they asked a group of men to dig huge pits, and then they could bury the soldiers and civilians of the northern foreign races alive.
The prestige of the three beast warriors in the army is second only to Esdeath. They are all ruthless people selected by Esdeath himself.
When selecting the three beast warriors, various devil trainings directly killed many people, and finally only these three people stood out.
And each of them is an imperial weapon user, and their strength is very strong.
"Lord Esdeath, the burying work will probably take a few days to complete."
At this time, Liva, one of the three beast warriors, a middle-aged man with gray and white hair, knelt on one knee in front of Esdeath.
He is the former imperial general and Brand's former boss.
After experiencing some changes, he became a member of the three beast warriors under Esdeath.
Beside Liva, the other two of the three beast warriors were also kneeling, namely Niu and Daidas.
The short, delicate-looking Niu, who was dressed like a girl, was actually a man.
Daidas was a tall and strong man wearing a strange eye mask, with a double-edged axe on his back, which was his imperial weapon "Two Great Axes·Belwak".
It's hard to find a picture of the three beast warriors in the same frame, so let's just take a look
"Well, let's take a break for the next few days. By then, there will probably be an order from the imperial capital. Let's see if we want to pursue the victory and kill all the northern foreign peoples, or if there are other things."
Esdeath said lightly.
At present, it is a foregone conclusion that the remaining northern foreign peoples in the fortress city will be killed, including not only the army, but also a large number of civilians.
Of course, there is an important premise that this fortress city was established after the northern foreign peoples invaded the territory within the empire, so this is a war that took place within the empire.
Those civilians who are about to be killed,They all followed the northern foreign army to invade and immigrate here.
This is the strategy that Numa Seka, the North Hero, thought of. He invaded the empire's territory while immigrating. This invasion is more efficient. To put it bluntly, it is a form of colonial invasion.
The troops and civilians who followed the North Hero into the empire's territory will eventually become victims as the war fails. This strategy itself is implemented to invade the empire.
One thing is one thing. Esdeath is indeed extremely cruel, but it is better to say that the North Hero personally killed the people who supported him rather than Esdeath killing innocent people under the instructions of the imperial capital.
"It feels like... Lord Esdeath seems to have some worries recently. Has something troubled him?"
At this time, Liva asked carefully.
He noticed that Lord Esdeath was a little abnormal recently. He would be distracted and thinking about something from time to time. If it were in the past, Lord Esdeath would definitely not be like this.
"There is indeed something that I am concerned about. I don't know why, but I think about that guy more and more frequently recently."
As Riva mentioned this matter, Bai Ye's face suddenly appeared in Esdeath's mind.
"Who is it? How could Esdeath-sama be so concerned about him?"
Neu was surprised.
"It's Bai Ye that I mentioned to you before."
Esdeath said without any hesitation.
"......I don't know if I should say something."
Riva seemed to have thought of the reason, but hesitated whether to say it, because he felt that it would offend Esdeath-sama.
"Just say it directly, I won't mind."
Esdeath is not so tolerant.
"Okay."
Riva nodded and said, "I think Esdeath-sama is likely to fall in love."
"Huh?!"
Neu and Daida next to him looked at Riva in disbelief.
Although one of them is a battle maniac and the other is a perverted hobbyist and they don't really understand things like love, they always feel that Lady Esdeath's personality is completely incompatible with the word "love".
