Chapter 22: The Imperial Capital

Two days after the army marched south, the temperature gradually rose.

The empire is in autumn, and the weather in early autumn is not hot and dry, and a cool breeze blows from time to time to make people feel refreshed.

The current location has penetrated deep into the territory of the empire, and the imperial capital is in front of you.

Finally arrived, the imperial capital is the main battlefield,

Gradually approaching the imperial capital, the main road occasionally encountered merchants, who immediately drove their carriages to give way when they saw the army, their heads bowed, and they did not dare to look directly at the army.

But after seeing the blue-haired female general at the head of the team, the merchants were obviously a little surprised.

"General Estes is back, isn't she rushing to the battlefield in the far north?"

"It won't be ......"

A merchant did not dare to say any more.

"Don't talk nonsense, look at the momentum of the army, is this what it looks like after the defeat, it is clearly a triumphant return."

"But a battle of that scale will take at least a year and a half."

The merchants whispered, and their fears and resentments had vanished.

If the imperial capital had an army that was supported by the common people, it would have to be the current one.

The direction of the army's march is not in the imperial capital, but in the military camp outside the imperial capital, the news of the polar victory has been transmitted back, and there are three generals in front of the military camp who are waiting for Estes to return, the three of them are Estes's henchmen, and all three of them are imperial envoys, collectively known as the three beasts.

Among the three, there is an old man, a strong man, and a cute girl?

The old man's housekeeper is dressed as a liva, a former general of the empire, who was imprisoned for offending the powerful, and was later rescued by Estes, with a very high loyalty.

The strong man's name is Daidas, a battle maniac, and the emperor's name is 'Two Great Axes Belwak', the two large axes are usually one, which can be disassembled from the middle, and after throwing the axe, as long as the axe still has strength, it will track the enemy.

The last 'girl' dressed up as a cute girl is named Niwu, although this guy looks like a cute girl, but he is a **cute girl, which means a man wearing women's clothes.

Niou's Imperial Tool is 'Military Dream Scream', which is a flute that can manipulate the enemy's emotions and physical state by playing different music, and assist the Emperor-like Tool.

The three of them stood straight in front of the barracks at this time, and when they saw Estes's figure, the three of them immediately stepped forward.

"General, it's been hard all the way, and my subordinates have prepared a banquet for you."

The old man Liva spoke, leaning forward as he spoke, one hand pressed to his chest, white gloves on his hands, and dressed like a butler, he was the captain of the Three Beasts.

"You don't need to celebrate the banquet first, I'll take you to meet the little emperor later, but first help you introduce a colleague."

The three orcs were all a little puzzled.

"Colleague? Could it be that the general subdued talents in the far north. ”

"Well, this time it's a treasure that has taken in a shadow of another country."

Hearing Estes's words, the old man Liva's brows furrowed slightly, the members of the assassination team generally had complicated backgrounds.

Kliva won't say anything, it's Estes' will, he won't disobey.

"Let me tell you in advance, this colleague of yours is a member of the top assassination force, I have fought with him before, and if he has the ability to fight alone, his strength may not be weaker than mine."

The three orcs were startled and looked at Estes a little sluggishly.

"Strength... Not weaker than the general you? ”

**Moe girl Niwu swallowed, his voice on the neutral side.

"White Night."

Estes shouted to the army, and the eyes of the three orcs were fixed in that direction.

A man with black hair and black eyes with a long knife at his waist walked over, the man's figure was not burly, but it gave people a sense of sharpness.

"This is your future colleague, White Night."

Estes looked at Su Xiao.

"These three are also my subordinates."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao replied, he had already recognized the three of them.

The trio is called the Three Beasts, although their strength is not weak, they can all receive bento boxes in a later mission, and the strong man died the most simply, and he was seconds in less than five minutes after appearing.

"Pay attention to the tone of the general's life."

The old man Liva spoke, his eyes were not good.

"Don't care about this, Bai Ye's character is like this, the members of the top assassination team have flaws in their personalities, and he is the most normal."

"I took the liberty of it, General."

Liva bowed again.

Su Xiao didn't care about Liwa's tone, why should he have trouble getting along with a guy who had just appeared on the scene and received a bento.

"It's not early, let's go meet Your Majesty."

The four of them got into a carriage and went to the imperial capital, which covers an area of not small, belongs to a large city, and the whole city is in a stepped shape, and the more central the position, the higher the position.

The center of the imperial capital is the imperial palace, and the imperial palace can be called the city within the city of the imperial capital, which shows how large the scope of the imperial palace is.

The whole palace is a bloated circle, with a spire building with layers of upwards, and the highest point is even hundreds of meters.

Horse-drawn carriages run through the imperial capital, and there are many pedestrians on the streets of the imperial capital, and they are richly dressed, this is the capital of a country, and economic prosperity is a matter of course.

The sun hung listlessly in the sky, and the entire emperor was shrouded in the dim sun, and the time was already six o'clock in the evening.

The carriage drove to the front of the palace, which was supposed to be a heavily guarded place, but the guards in front of the door, after seeing the signs on the carriage, only let it go with a simple question, and did not even need Estes to show up.

The area of the palace is not small, and the carriage travels for a while to the front of the main hall of the palace.

This made Su Xiao a little surprised, you must know that this is the palace, how can the general drive the carriage to the front of the main hall? Get off outside the palace and walk to the main hall.

It seems that the little emperor is more wasted than he imagined, at least Estes doesn't care much about the little emperor.

Get off the bus and enter the main hall, the main hall is very solemn, the ground is covered with a red carpet, and there is a gold-cast seat on the innermost side, and the seat is higher, which is the emperor's table.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was sitting on a seat, this was the little emperor.

The little emperor is thin and weak, giving people a feeling of malnutrition, and his purple clothes are even more nondescript, showing a bit of a sissy.

Although he was the emperor, he had no sense of majesty, and Su Xiao felt that this was a very empty teenager.

Estes took Su Xiao and the four of them into the main hall, walked a few meters in front of the little emperor and half-knelt on the ground.

Rather than half-kneeling, Estes was half-squatting on the ground, kneeling with her leg not landing, and this posture says a lot.

Looking at the little emperor again, his complexion did not change much, as if this was a normal situation.

Su Xiao also did the same, half-squatting, kneeling is absolutely impossible.

At this time, he had already considered whether to use his hands to capture the little emperor, and this young man looked like a soft persimmon at a glance.

Next to the little emperor stood an obese old man with a big beard.

Obese middle-aged people have white hair, but because of their body fat, their skin is not wrinkled, and the old man does not look old, if he is not full of white hair, some people believe that he is a middle-aged person.

This fat old man is the minister, the minister who controls the little emperor.

The minister held a plate of meat in his hand, standing beside the little emperor with a big belly, and the plate of meat was eaten by himself, not for the little emperor.

After a preliminary observation of the situation, Su Xiao decided to give up, he was not sure if the key was on the little emperor, which needed to be considered in the long run.
