However, I refuse!

Perhaps she would never have such an idea in her mind before the "foreigners" appeared, but this time Esdeth clearly felt a sense of powerlessness during the first stop against the northern aliens.

The other party had some kind of strange power or props to make her subordinates die continuously until she was forced into the snow mountain. At that moment, she made the decision to directly use the avalanche tactics to force the "foreigner" in the foreign race out , but when she finished everything, she found that the other party had never appeared before..

It's very strange, but you should know that according to her speculation, it is reasonable to say that the other party has Teigu: it is absolutely impossible for a "foreigner" in a space like Shangri-La to hide from Teigu...

It wasn't until one of the commanders who captured the opponent later that they realized that the 'foreigner' was actually their prince, Numa Seka.

But in the end, when the corpses were counted, there was no Numa Seka. According to the information provided by the commander, their prince has always followed the expedition troops and never left. In other words...the only thing that can be explained at present The only reason is that he was submerged by an avalanche.

But.. sounds weird doesn't it?The majestic 'foreigner' would die in an avalanche?Talking about it might make someone laugh out loud.

"And that Minister Ernest..."

Estes rubbed his temples, recalling the conversation he had with the other party outside the palace.

Yes, she didn't have any evidence to prove that Minister Ernest was a 'foreigner', she just felt that way based on her intuition, that's why she tried it out.

But under such a condition, the other party was able to maintain such calmness when she was not sure whether she would really kill him. If you think about it in another way, she is a 'foreigner' who has already faced such a threat. I won't worry about pretending anymore..

"If this minister Ernest is not a 'foreigner', then it would be the best, just think that I am thinking too much, but if so, I am afraid that he is also a person with deep scheming if he can maintain his disguise under such circumstances ..”

All in all, you can pay attention to Minister Ernest, because there are still many doubts about him that have not been clarified, especially how he knew that he was trapped on the snow mountain, or sent Leone to see what he is Is the purpose just to help her?

..and that map..

Estes recalled the map that was found on Leone when she was in a coma. Although it was not drawn in detail, the target on it was undoubtedly the foot of the mountain where she was trapped at that time. Teigu: Shangri-la was automatically teleported to the hillside...and at that time, the patrol team happened to pass by and found her fainted.

At that time, due to the lack of manpower, I could only let go and trust her. Looking back now, why did Minister Ernest, who was far away in the empire, know that he was trapped in that place.

Could it be that he has the ability to predict the future?

Estes snorted coldly, obviously she didn't believe in this reason, although she believed in fate, but what those 'foreigners' knew was fate that they didn't appear, just like that person said, the future is Change is happening all the time.

Don't die in someone else's hands...my pet...

tuk tuk-

"Come in..."

"General Estes, excuse me..."

Three men in black military uniforms came in, an old man, an uncle, and a young man.

"What's the matter? All three beast warriors."

Estes looked at the three people who came in. They are her direct subordinates. Although they all have strange hobbies, she still believes in the loyalty of the three of them. She can say that if these people are asked to assassinate the emperor, they will There will be no hesitation.

but....

I always feel that they seem to be a little different from usual..

Especially Niu, who is the youngest among the three, although he has a habit of collecting women's faces in his impression, he is indeed the liveliest among the three, but now he keeps his head down and doesn't say a word.

"Lord Estes, I..."

"Shut up, let me tell you! Time is running out..."

Liwa, who is the oldest and most experienced, stopped Niu's faltering voice.

"Lord Estes, we were killed by a 'foreigner' while delivering the bounty from His Majesty the Little Emperor..."

"what!?"

As soon as Estes heard it, the temperature in the whole room dropped below zero in an instant.

At the same time, she looked warily at the three beast warriors in front of her.

The first thing she thought of was not to doubt their words, but...if they were all dead, what happened to the three people in front of them...

"Lord Estes, don't panic, this is just that woman's ability. We will die after a while..."

For a moment, the three of them half-kneeled in front of Esdes.

"Tell me what happened!"

Estes narrowed his eyes and looked at the dead 'Three Beast Warriors' in front of him again.

"We originally distributed the bounty to the poor under your order, General Esdes, but a strange maid appeared in the middle, and then almost everyone died in the blink of an eye."

"what.."

Estes subconsciously felt that Liwa's expression was wrong, but the next moment, Daidas among the three beast warriors hastily added.

"Lord Esdes, Liwa is right. In the blink of an eye, both the transport troops and the three of us...all died..."

After Daidas finished speaking, some strange changes began to appear on the three beast warriors. A shadow gradually faded from their bodies, and the smell of blood began to permeate.

Immediately afterwards, Estes saw that there were many holes in the heads of the three beast warriors in front of her. These holes were like a quilt. It was like being shot through, and she could even see the brains flowing out of it..

But even so, the three of them were still able to speak.

At this moment, Estes seemed to understand why the three of them said that they were dead, and there was not much time left..

"That woman is very cruel. Although I avoided the vital point and pretended to be dead on the ground to give her a fatal blow, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting us go, took out a road sign and directly hacked us all to death. ...."

Like a real-time feedback, cracks began to appear on the necks of the three people, as if they should have been chopped off by some kind of object.

"..."

Estes looked at the wounds of the three people and didn't know what to say for a while. In addition to their description of the woman, it was obvious that the other party was a 'foreigner'.

"How did that woman get you to come to me?"

ability..

As long as you know the opponent's ability, you may be able to guard against it in advance.

"I'm old, I can't judge..."

Liva lowered her head in shame.

Liwa, who was known as the original wise and brave in the former empire, couldn't see through the opponent's ability?

"But the old man can say very clearly that that woman is definitely not an ordinary shunpo or teleportation ability... Moreover, she can also control the death state... After we regain consciousness, we accept ourselves The news of the death, I came back here quickly to inform you, Mr. Esdeth..."

After all, the bodies of the three people changed again. The one who reacted the most was Niu, who fell to the ground covered in blood. The tragic state seemed to be a perfect copy of how he died at that time.

"Time is running out... Lord Esdeath..."

Liwa covered his neck with an extremely uncomfortable expression, and at the same time Daidas also collapsed directly on the ground.

"It's completely different from the 'foreigners' I met before. Her ability is very terrifying. I can feel it. Master Esdeth must be careful..."

Liwa vomited a pool of blood, and cracks began to appear on the skull: "Be careful, that woman with two voices..."

With Liwa's final warning, he finally fell to the ground with an extremely painful expression.

Estes looked at the dead three beast warriors and remained silent, but those who knew her, such as the person who betrayed her in memory, must know that she must be very angry at this time.

Provocation, this is 100% provocation.

Deliberately asking them to come back and give me a message is equivalent to a declaration of war to myself..

Ka-!

In an instant, the corpses of the three beast warriors turned into ice sculptures, and disappeared into the air in the next second.

"Liwa, Daidas, Niu, you were killed because you were not strong enough..."

Esdeth turned around slowly, without any emotion, activated his ability to freeze the blood on the ground instantly and then disintegrate and disappear.

I have received your loyalty.

"Only the strong can have it all, whether it's the 'Strangers' or us... both.."

Chapter 180

At night, the house of the village head of the slum where the curfew should have been imposed was brightly lit at this moment. Unlike the usual lifelessness, it looked more like a huge party now.

"Your Excellency... this... Are these all for us?..."

The village head who took the lead pointed to a large box of rewards behind Li Hao. Not only him, but other people present, people from other slums, old and weak women and children were all looking behind Li Hao with eyes like hungry wolves. of boxes.

It is full of golden gold. If it is used to live, it is almost a year, no, at least three years of living expenses for one person.

"That's right, these are the bounties I asked a friend of mine to take out from the army. These bounties were given to you by the little emperor. In other words, this should be what you should have received for joining the army for the sake of the motherland." remuneration..."

"...Thank you..Thank you Your Majesty!"

When they heard that it was a reward from the little emperor, everyone fell to their knees on the ground in tears of gratitude. The scene was like worshiping God.

Li Hao looked at all the people present with a pleasant smile. You must know that although there were only a hundred people in front of him, they were indeed leaders in the slums.

"So... who will come up and get it?"

Like hungry wolves, everyone wants to rush forward to get their share of the bounty, because these are all brought back by their husbands and sons, so naturally they also feel that they should have their share of rewards. share.

"After all, the money was snatched from General Esdess..."

“…”

Estes!

For a moment, everyone's breath seemed to be cut off.

The village chief swallowed his throat: "Your Excellency, you just... just said that Esdes..."

"Hey, that's right." Li Hao squinted his eyes and looked at the village chief: "It's not so much that the little emperor gave you a reward, it's better that it was originally a reward for Esthers..."

"This... how could this be..."

"Why not?"

Human nature is inherently evil, maybe you can’t see it in other worlds, but in this world of "Slashing the Red Eyes", no one is a good person, and the really good people have died long ago...the ones left, but Just another corrupt empire.

Sitting on the stage, Li Hao looked down at the civilians in front of him, and said with a sneer: "According to my information, General Esdess took all the credit by himself, plus you as the lowest level In other words, it is not necessary, is the little emperor willing to make a general who is fighting in the South and North feel dissatisfied?"

That being the case, why didn't he take advantage of it a little bit...

"This...."

Everyone present understood that the bounty behind Li Hao was actually given to Estes, not to poor people like them.

The reason why he appeared in front of everyone was because the minister in front of him robbed the reward that should have been given to Esthers.

Everyone who realized this gasped, knowing that the opponent was one of the strongest in the empire, and no one would want to deal with them.

"What's the matter? Come up and get it...don't you think that these should belong to you?" Li Hao said jokingly, then picked up a gold coin and played with it.

"Well, Your Excellency, we appreciate your kindness. But this is a reward for General Esdes, so we will..."

"Give up, right?" Li Hao put the gold coin on the table in front of him.

"It was originally something you changed, but you chose to give it up because you were afraid of offending the powerful. After all, you only have one life, and if you lose it, you will lose it. But do you know...the life you deserved?"

Our... original life...

Everyone felt that some words had reached their throats, but they couldn't speak them out.

"All of you are thinking that you want to reduce taxes in the future, but this is impossible, because there is no king in the world, every breath of air you stand here is charged, after all... .”

"These are the right to breathe given to you by the little emperor..."

What was the origin of the flag of rebellion in the first place?

Undoubtedly it was all because of oppression and dissatisfaction, and now he just did the same thing, although the means were a bit despicable, but...

All of this is for myself to survive and achieve my goal..

After all, he is Minister Ernest now... Since he has chosen this role, it is natural to play him out, right?

"Do you feel scared? What I said..."

Li Hao's words are very light, even if these words are put in the empire, as long as they are reported, they will be sentenced to death immediately, but they dare not.

why?

Because he's Minister Hornest..

Although they are poor and have little knowledge, they are not stupid. Being able to intercept these bounties directly under General Esdes has already demonstrated his ability.

As he said before, no one wants to offend the powerful.

However, resistance often requires them to accumulate the intention and concept of resistance in their hearts. Only in this way can they truly achieve an uprising.

"After the little emperor ascended the throne, countless people cheered, the system has changed, and everything is developing in a better direction, but...do you really think so?" Li Hao squinted his eyes and was usually present here. everyone.
