Once upon a time there was an Uchiha

Chapter 306 90. The Dark Department of the Empire
The closest pass to the imperial capital.

Guarding here, the Imperial Army is fighting the Revolutionary Army.

Compared with the troops of the Revolutionary Army, the guards who had been trained by General Bude were far superior in terms of training and equipment.

It's just that their morale was a little low because of the death of General Bude.

They just adhered to the order of the general before his death to protect the imperial capital, but at this time the imperial capital guarded by them was suffering from the scourge of the ministers and others.

In terms of combat supplies, they cannot be replenished in time, and even if the corrupt bureaucrats are in imminent disaster, they are still trying to suck the last drop of blood from the empire.

On the city, the general of the empire was observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope.

After the death of General Bude, he served as the supreme commander of the imperial capital. As for General Esdes, who was as famous as the general in the imperial capital, he suddenly disappeared in the barracks a few days ago.

"General Estes, when are you coming back?"

Shaking his head, the Imperial General sighed.

When General Esdes was around, no matter how many rebels he faced, he could easily deal with it.

But it was different now. After Esdeth left, they could barely deal with the rebel soldiers, but they had nothing to do with the Tegu envoys.

Those Teigu envoys mixed in with the rebels, and to a certain extent dominated the direction of the war.

Especially the Tegushi who can summon dangerous species brought great difficulties to pass defense.

Every time a dangerous species is summoned, the imperial army will lose dozens of excellent soldiers.

Such a loss is unacceptable, but it has to be accepted.

After the revolutionary army launched a new round of offensive, the imperial general could only bite the bullet and continue mobilizing troops.

It's just that as the number of soldiers finished increasing, his heart began to gradually shake.

At this time, an orderly knocked on the door of the war room.

The imperial general glanced outside the house, and then signaled the guards to open the door of the conference room.

When the messenger saw the imperial general, he gave a military salute and immediately said, "The news came from the imperial capital that the minister Ornes died, and his wild hounds also disappeared at the same time."

Hearing this, the imperial general's frowning eased a lot.

These days, good news finally came from the empire. The death of Minister Onesto ordered the empire to remove a life-threatening cancer.

As a military attache under General Bude, he was one of the few officials with a conscience. Only because of the strength of Onestus, he could not do anything to save the empire.

Then, the imperial general thought of the great general Bude, and sighed desolately.

The general Bude had kindness to him, but he died in an assassination. He didn't believe the result.

How could he be assassinated with the strength of a great general, and there were wild hounds under the minister who were present that day.

They were all Tegu envoys. If they encountered an assassin, why would the most powerful general Bud die, and the other wild hounds were only slightly injured.

This is unconvincing, but because he wants to protect his officers and soldiers, he dare not question it at the court meeting.

Even so, he was also transferred to the forefront of the battlefield, responsible for resisting the attack of the revolutionary army.

And at this moment, the messenger suddenly walked towards the imperial general, and under his robe was a pitch-black dagger.

The imperial general, who had experienced many battles, immediately reacted and kept pulling out his saber at all times, confronting the order, and at the same time summoning the guards outside the house.

"Who the hell are you? The minister's subordinate, or the rebel assassin," looking at the messenger, the imperial general continued to say to himself: "The minister will not be so stupid. If you suppress dissidents at this time, then you are the rebel's assassin." assassin."

"Night attack?!"

The opposite is clearly standing in front of him, but his existence is very small.

The general of the empire can almost conclude that the person in front of him is from the night attack of the empire's killer organization.

The assassin disguised as an orderly did not speak, but launched an attack immediately.

In an instant, the small war room turned into a battlefield for two people, and the sand table placed in the center of the meeting room was broken up.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, someone wants to assassinate the general."

The guards at the gate quickly reacted and called a team to storm the combat conference room.

But when they entered the meeting room, the battle was over, the combat sand table was cut in half, their general was cut off along with the saber, and lay on the ground.

"It was the killer who attacked at night." With grief, the guard soldiers came to such a conclusion after examining the body.

At this time, the captain of the personal guard said firmly: "Everyone, stay vigilant. After the death of the general, the rebels will definitely launch a new round of attack."

The other guards nodded.

Although their general was assassinated, the task of defending the city is not over, and they will continue to stick to it according to the established plan.

Until the arrival of General Estes, or all died in battle.

They all served under the General, inherited Bude's will, and would continue to guard the Empire.

On the other side, Chi Tong changed into a robe and appeared in another part of the city.

Before that, she originally planned to assassinate Esdeth with her other companions in the night attack, but according to the feedback from the insider of the empire, Esdeth was not in the imperial capital, but on the front line.

Therefore, Najieta ordered the night attack Tegu to support the actions of the revolutionary army and assassinate those generals who had the will to resist.

Reduce the losses of the revolutionary army.

Putting on a soldier's mask, Chitong walked in the city, patiently recording the defenses inside the city.

In this mission, apart from killing the generals of the empire, she also collected information inside the city to facilitate the revolutionary army's attack.

Goooo!

Hearing the growling of her stomach, Chitong realized that she was hungry, so she quickened her pace and quickly ran towards the outside of the city wall.

Outside the city wall, there are spies disguised as civilian revolutionary army, who will lead them away from this kind of city.

Before leaving the city, Chitong noticed several complicated symbols on the city wall, not only took a few more glances, but at the same time, thoughts appeared in his heart.

She recognizes those symbols, which are the symbols of Anbu's connection.

Are the imperial assassination forces also involved in the frontline battle?

It has been a long time since she and those Anbu partners who have grown up together have not seen each other for a long time.

However, this time they met, they were already regarded as mortal enemies.

……

In the palace, the little emperor summoned the high-level officials of the imperial military.

Compared with solving the remaining remnants of Onesdu, solving the rebels who are about to attack the imperial capital is a higher priority.

Under the micromanagement of the ministers and the rebellion of the local prefect, it only took half a month for the rebel army to attack the hinterland of the empire from the south of the empire, and their troops were directed at the imperial capital.

But this does not mean that the empire lost its power in the First World War. Except for the land occupied by the rebels, the empire still has a vast land and rear, providing soldiers and war materials.

It's just that the vassal princes and prefects who are in power in those vast rear areas don't intend to support the imperial capital, but watch the fire from the other side, and wait until the two sides almost have a winner, and then attach themselves to the winner.

At this time, only a few high-ranking military officers were left in the imperial capital, looking at the emperor with active thoughts.

They are different from the generals who fight on the front line, but the dark side of the empire. They are usually responsible for dealing with the internal instability of the empire.

In other words, the few people in front of the emperor were the leaders and members of the imperial assassination force.

Staring at these important officials of the dark department of the empire, the little emperor looked over and over again with scrutiny.

In the past, these were all attached to the ministers of Onesto, and under the orders of the ministers, they were aware of the germs of rebellions within the empire.

It can be regarded as a hard-working soldier who guards the empire in the dark.

But the little emperor didn't dare to trust them at this moment. Firstly, it was because they used to serve under the ministers. Secondly, they had great power, and he didn't have too much contact with them.

The leaders of Anbu never looked at the little emperor with faint eyes. Even though the other party was just a puppet monarch, the aura passed down by the royal family for thousands of years had been oppressing them.

When Minister Osnedu died, they also briefly had the idea of ​​controlling the little emperor and tasting the taste of supreme power.

But this idea was quickly dispelled, they were just night watchmen in the dark, and they could never see the sun again.

And when he saw the two young guards beside the emperor, even his last thoughts disappeared.

The two young guards gave them a feeling of fear.

It should be noted that when they were young, they were also from Huangquan Temple, the top group under Tegu's envoys.

Now that he is getting older, his strength has dropped a lot, but his vision is still there.

It is clear that the guards beside His Majesty, even among Tegu envoys, cannot be called weak.

Thinking of this, the leaders of Anbu couldn't help wondering whether Ornes was ordered to die by His Majesty. After all, no matter how powerful the killer night attack was, it was impossible to assassinate General Bud and Ornes in a row.

In that case, the meticulous defense inside the palace is not a joke.

Feeling the strange gaze cast on him, the little emperor snorted softly, which made the leaders of the Anbu tremble.

Seeing this, the little emperor smiled, and looked at Iyeas and Shayou beside him.

They were sent by Mr. Lihuo to protect his own safety, but they played a big role when he met his courtiers.

After pondering for a while, the little emperor asked the leader of the Anbu: "My dear friends, how many troops are available in the Anbu of the Empire?"

The leader of Anbu immediately replied: "Return to Your Majesty, there are not many people in Anbu who can continue to fight, only a dozen or so."

"However, these people wear court equipment and unite to pose a threat to Tegushi."

The little emperor nodded, and had a certain degree of awareness of the strength of the assassination troops.

This department, which has existed in the empire for hundreds of years, has cultivated many assassination elites for the empire, and a small part of these elites can master Teigu and become Teigu envoys.

The little emperor even heard familiar names such as red pupil and black pupil in the list of Anbu elite group.

With a wave of his hand, the little emperor wanted to send Anbu elites to the front line to support the guards fighting on the front line.

But he suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "In the Anbu of the Empire, how many Tegu envoys, or Tegu?"

The leaders of the Anbu were stunned for a moment, and replied: "There is no Teigu, the Teigu envoy has been recruited by General Esdes before."

The little emperor nodded and motioned for the leader of Anbu to go down.

At this time, Uchiha Lihuo came out from behind the curtain, looked at the back of Anbu leader Lihuo, and said in a low voice, "Anbu, it's really a familiar name."

"Mr. Lihuo used to be a member of Anbu of the Empire?" The little emperor stood up and asked Uchiha Lihuo.

Uchiha Lihuo shook his head, it was difficult for him to explain to the little emperor.

After a pause, Uchiha Lihuo continued: "Little emperor, it is very difficult for your empire to win, so let's talk about peace as soon as possible, and it will cause less damage to the people."

The little emperor said: "I don't want war either, but will the rebels agree to peace talks? They have such a big advantage now."

As the emperor of an empire that is about to collapse, he naturally does not want to go to war. He hopes to have enough time to carry out a thorough reform of the empire and continue the empire's vitality.

It is not that he has no solution to the current predicament of the empire, and those are all placed in the study of the emperor.

It's just because he relies on ministers to govern all the year round, he never has time to read it.

"I can contact you." After a pause, Uchiha Lihuo continued: "As a fee, I need a tube of your blood."

"can."

After a brief silence, the little emperor asked, "Why is Mr. Li Huo willing to help me like this?"

Uchiha Lihuo glanced at the little emperor and said, "I want to get more Teigu and improve my strength."

"With Mister's strength, Teigu is already very strong." The little emperor was puzzled.

"No, it's not strong enough." Uchiha Lihuo shook his head and said, while looking into the distance through the relief of the palace.

After taking care of the members of the Wild Hounds, he went to Esdeath's mansion, but did not find Esdeath himself.

Facing Esdeth, although Uchiha Lihuo can suppress to a certain extent now, but the other party wants to escape, he has no way at all.

After all, he couldn't deal with Esdeth's special skill - Moko Botmo.

If he doesn't completely defeat Esdeth, he is always worried that his collection of Teigu will be hindered to a certain extent.

Moreover, there was a grudge between him and Estes.

That battle-thirsty ice general will never let him go easily.

Uchiha Lihuo had a faint premonition that Esdesh was accumulating strength somewhere, preparing to make a final break with himself.

For the battle of Esdeth, Uchiha Lihuo will not choose to back down, but will try to win the battle.

After all, in this world, he is the only one who can make him fight with all his might.

at the same time.

Estes in the polar ice field felt a throbbing inexplicably, and his face changed slightly.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

Lan asked with concern. Just now, there was a fierce battle between his captain and the polar super dangerous species. Before the wound healed in the future, he embarked on the journey back to the imperial capital.

"It's okay." Estes touched the demon mark on her chest, just now she felt a sense of fighting inexplicably aroused in her heart.

"Is it you? Lihuo." Esdeth thought of Lihuo who cut off his own arm, and at the same time began to drive the super dangerous species under his feet to speed up his flight.

Just now, she defeated an ice dragon from the Northland.
