I like traveling the most

Esdeath has been preparing for the execution ground recently. After learning about this series of events, it was already the day of the public execution.

"Really? The minister was arrested and Bude was assassinated."

She didn't say anything after hearing the report, she was just a little regretful.

The minister didn't care, Bude made her regretful.

Originally, the two of them would have a fight after they were rehabilitated, and Esdeath was also looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, before that time came, Bude was assassinated first.

"By the way, where are Black Eyes and Will?"

Esdeath looked at Xiao Lin and Lan who were standing behind him, wondering where the remaining two people were.

"Probably dead."

"Dead..."

"They went to stop the thieves from the south, but they haven't come back yet. They are probably dead."

"Yeah."

Esdeath was silent for a moment, and then said loudly: "Will, Black Eyes, and even Bude, they will die just because they are too weak. They can't blame others! But, I will avenge them!"

The law of survival of the weak and the strong has long been engraved in the depths of her mind. She will be sad about the death of her companions, but more importantly, she will just strengthen her heart and implement her own will.

"Let's go to the execution ground!"

Esdeath could feel that the final battle would begin there.

Arrive at the execution ground

Many spectators gathered here, and the person tied to the cross in the center of the venue was Tazmi, the protagonist of this execution.

His condition was surprisingly good, and he no longer looked lethargic like before.

It seems he's ready.

"I actually brought all the Teigu here to use as bait. Is this really good, Captain?"

"Considering Najexitan's naive idea, it is very possible."

Esdeath also knew his former colleagues very well, so in order to prevent the enemy from coming to rescue him, he brought most of his combat power with him.

She would never do this in the past.

But the general who often stopped her was dead. Now the army only obeyed her orders, so naturally they could do whatever they wanted.

And now, in order to show the power of the empire and dispel the arrogance of the thieves, she wants to publicly execute the thieves!

Look at the sky, it's almost noon.

"Okay, it's almost time."

Esdeath drew out the thin sword from her waist and walked slowly towards Tazmi.

"Esdeath..."

"Tazmi, are you ready?"

The rapier was aimed at his throat.

Esdeath is a master of torture, so she knows the structure of the human body very well. She knows exactly where stabbing will cause pain and where stabbing will cause death.

"I look forward to your powerful life force, Tazmi."

Esdeath is going to be tortured and executed!

Only the most severe punishment can scare people who are willing to resist.

He raised his rapier, ready to strike.

Bang--

A dull bombardment fell from the sky and shot straight towards Esdeath.

"Is it coming? Night attack?!"

Esdeath frowned and jumped back to avoid this powerful shot.

boom!

The cannonball fell on the open ground, raising a thick fog, and a figure slowly walked out of the thick fog.

"—Main!"

Tazmi shouted, very excited about the rescue of her companions.

Esdeath didn't panic. After all, she had expected that the other party would come to the rescue. But what puzzled her was why only one person showed up.

Are they all hiding?

Ma'in raised the Imperial Equipment [Romantic Turret] and shouted while shooting: "Give Tazmi back to me!"

"Oh, then you come and grab it!"

Esdeath also used the ice power of the Imperial Equipment [Demon God Appearance] to return color.

The huge ice-shaped thorn went straight towards Ma Yin, and was about to pierce her from bottom to top. Unexpectedly, a fiery laser shot through the thorn and was intercepted by her ice barrier.

【】

"Tsk."

Ma Yin touched the gun body and clicked her tongue in displeasure.

The only weakness of [Romantic Turret] is that too much power will cause the gun body to overheat. At that time, shooting forcefully will cause the Teigu to collapse, so she needs to be careful at all times.

However, in order to save Tazmi, she must force herself! Under great mental pressure all the time, if you are not careful, you will die!

"Take the move!"

She responded with a more powerful artillery fire from Mayin.

Since the beginning of the battle with Esdeath, Maine's Teigu has not fired a single bullet. All of them were cannonballs and laser-type attacks.

One can imagine how much pressure Esdeath put on Ma Yin.

"What an amazing amount of firepower."

Esdeath praised: "Forcing you into a desperate situation will release more firepower? And even though he didn't attack me, he took the opportunity to release Tazmi's shackles. Isn't it quite a feat?"

"Because I am a shooting genius!"

Ma Yin responded equally proudly.

But what Ma Yin didn't know was that this was not all of Esdeath's strength.

because--

"Najexitan will never let his subordinates break into the enemy camp alone. Your companions must be always preparing for sneak attacks in the dark."

In order to guard against sneak attacks in the dark, she preserved most of her strength.

However, this is not the reason why Ma Yin can jump around like a bed bug in front of her!

The energy of ice is gathered in Esdeath's hands.

Ma Yin's attack power is very strong, but she also has the disadvantages that all shooters have, that is, her body is no different from ordinary people, it is too weak.

The attack is sufficient, but the agility and defense are not good!

Then use the ice cubes to hit her. As long as she is covered by the rain of ice cubes, she will never be able to escape!

"Come on! Let's start the fight!"

The ice cubes condensed in the air, covering the entire execution ground. Each ice ball fell down with cold air and gravity, and hit the floor to create a small pit.

"Damn it!"

Main raised the imperial weapon and launched the maximum firepower.

But she couldn't cover it all. The ice cubes kept falling, and her mental power was about to run out.

Just as she was about to be hit, a yellow figure rescued her, and at the same time a black figure appeared from the dark and rushed towards Esdeath, interrupting her chanting.

It was Leone and Akame!

Esdeath didn't expect Akame to eliminate her breath to this extent. She had no choice but to rush back to defend and resist the [One Hit Kill] that was chopped at her throat.

In the deadlock, he kicked Akame's waist and abdomen, and as she flew backwards, he fired an ice sword, but was saved by Leona who came after saving Myne.

Leona exhaled lightly: "Huh, a close call."

"Troublesome guys!"

Esdeath seemed angry, but it was actually a compliment.

She was not out of breath at all because of the chaos just now. Even until now, she was still able to handle the siege of three people with ease.

The strong are so confident.

But the concept of Night Raid is a just beating. After the sneak attack failed, several figures appeared, including several dead imperial weapon users, and all members of Night Raid appeared!

"Xiaolin, Ran."

Two people came behind Esdeath, and she asked: "With so many enemies, there is a high possibility of death. Are you afraid?"

"Afraid? Not at all." Xiaolin shook his head.

Before Esdeath could say anything, she heard Leone yelling from the opposite side: "Xiaolin! What are you still dawdling about? Come here!"

This Leone is really a thick nerve.

Hearing the yelling, Xiaolin scratched his head in distress. He was still trying to do something, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Leone.

Esdeath asked in confusion: "...What's going on, Xiaolin?"

However, Xiaolin behind her did not answer, but walked past her to the front of the night raiders, turned around and stood in the front looking at Esdeath.

"That's what's going on."

Xiaolin said to her: "Stop it, Captain, there are all imperial weapon users here."

Even Esdeath knew why.
