Chapter 278: No Factional Threat
Since the Coalition won a great victory and took the entire empire, most of the members of the NightRaid have left separately, and only Najeta, Willow, Rovan, and Lubbo have stayed in the imperial capital to assist the new emperor in ascending the throne, resulting in a weak garrison in the imperial capital, and it is impossible to organize useful manpower to stop the menacing imperial army for a while.
Zhang Chai knew this, and his eyes swept around Najeta and the others, curious about who would be the emperor in the revolutionary army?
Soon, Zhang Chai's eyes locked on a petite figure protected by everyone in the revolutionary army, this person was crimson!
At this moment, Crimson is wearing a luxurious robe similar to that of the little emperor, and it is obvious that the person who is the new emperor is Crimson!
"It's a pity...... Crimson pushed away the general of the revolutionary army who was protecting him, walked to Najeta's side, looked directly into Zhang Chai's eyes without fear, and said unhappily: "You are still alive!" β
"Oh?" Zhang Chai said in a deep voice: "Compared to my life and death, should you explain your true identity to me, Miss Crimson!" Or rather, you are simply the head of the headquarters of the revolutionary army! Otherwise, how could you be the emperor! β
Crimson narrowed her eyes slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, the revolutionary army was indeed created by me!" That's because I'm going to take back the throne that rightfully belongs to me! Do you know? I am the crown prince appointed by my father! The throne is mine! But those stupid ministers don't agree with me because of their status as women, and they also support my incompetent imperial brother as a puppet, which is really an idiotic move! β
"So......" Zhang Chai thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "You don't hesitate to provoke civil strife in the empire." Even borrowing troops from foreign tribes to mutilate their own subjects, right? Also, you deliberately approached me last time. Are you looking for a chance to kill me? β
Crimson shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "That's right, I hid it from everyone to get close to you, but it's a pity that before I could really get close to you, you were beaten away by Willow's brother, wasting a good opportunity to kill you." β
Zhang Chai said coldly: "That's too embarrassing." You think you can kill me? Amusing! β
After saying that, Zhang Chai ignored Crimson and glanced at Najeta and Lubbock. "Listen carefully to the voices around you, this is the voice of the people, they welcome the Imperial Army, not you!" If you really want peace and stability to return to your country. Just surrender. I promise not to hurt you, and I will give you the opportunity to govern the empire. β
Looking at the relieved smiling faces of the people of the imperial capital on both sides of the street, and the welcome to the arrival of the imperial soldiers, Lubbo muttered, "Could it be ...... Are we doing it wrong? β
"Lubbock!" Najeta pressed Lubbock's shoulder and said sternly, "This is not the cry of all the people! These Imperial Capitalists have only tasted a small amount of petty profits, and they can go against their conscience and cheer for this truly evil imperial regime...... This is unforgivable ignorance! We've just taken over the Empire! If we govern well, they will come to their senses! And the majority of the people are on our side! β
"You're ignorant!" Zhang Chai said coldly: "What qualifications do you have to insult the people and accuse them of ignorance? Lubbonch! I ask you, a 'new empire' that ceded land to a foreign race. What can a 'new empire' that has gone through serious wars and internal strife rely on to improve the lives of its people? Even the people of the imperial capital can't recognize you! What else to talk about? β
"Uh......" Lubbo gritted his teeth. He bowed his head and said, "Even if this is the case, I will be on Najeta's side!" Even if my choice is wrong......"
"Zhang Chai, can we sit down and have a good talk?" Luo Fan looked around at the imperial soldiers who were blocking the surroundings, he felt a tingling in his scalp, and knew that the general trend had gone, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to recover the defeat.
Zhang Chai smiled lightly: "Of course, I have the certainty of unlocking the hidden way of life, and I welcome your arrival at any time." β
"Hidden way out...... Luo Fan listened proudly, and his legs couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Zhang Chai, are you really sure?" β
"Don't believe his! It's not over yet! Liu Shu stretched out his hand to stop Luo Fan, glared at Zhang Chai coldly, and shouted inwardly: "Zhang Chai I'll tell you!" My brother will be back soon! I advise you to hurry up and take your people away! Otherwiseβ"
For Liu Shu, it doesn't matter whether the hidden way of life is true or not, she is neither a person who is willing to admit defeat, nor does she believe that Zhang Chai will let her go, after all, she asked Liu Guan to kill Zhang Chai three times and twice, she doesn't think that Zhang Chai will be so broad-minded as to forgive a person who wants to kill herself.
Just as Willow thought, Zhang Chai had already killed Willow, and he didn't want to keep Willow by his side.
"Your brother?" Zhang Chai pretended to shrink his head timidly, but his face was full of narrow smiles, "I'm really scared!" Your brother's corpse is still soaking in the sea, and I guess it's been eaten by sharks or something, and there are no scum left, right? β
"You ......" Willow's face changed drastically, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" My brother would be killed by someone like you? Impossible! β
Zhang Chai looked at the willow tree with pity, then took out a trident from his back, spread his hands and said, "This weapon was fished up from the sea, it should be your brother's thing, right?" I heard that it seems to be the halberd of Poseidon, the god of the sea! β
Willow stared at the trident in Zhang Chai's hand, and his heart was shocked, there could be no mistake...... This is indeed my brother's weapon!
"I laughed." Zhang Chai put away the trident unscrupulously, looked at the wavering Luo Fan, and suddenly said coldly: "What are you hesitating about?" Either bury with the willow tree, or follow me. β
If it weren't for the fear that he would become a non-factional person, Zhang Chai would not have wasted time persuading Luo Fan.
Luo Fan felt that he was caught in the middle, and couldn't help but ask, "Can I be neutral?" β
"Can't!" Zhang Chai and Liu Shu opposed at the same time.
"I just want to get a living! Don't embarrass me......" Luo Fan said as he walked towards Zhang Chai.
However, as soon as Luo Fan took a step forward, Liu Shu made a strange gesture, only to hear an explosion, Luo Fan's body exploded in vain, and suddenly blood rained, and finally turned into a puddle of minced meat.
Luo Fan died violently, and everyone was stunned.
"Hah...... Hahahaha! Liu Shu withdrew his hand, laughed a few times madly, and provoked Zhang Chai: "It doesn't matter if my brother's doppelganger is dead!" Because now Luo Fan is also dead! And Luo Fan's survival point is not enough, he is resurrected! That is to say, the only survivors are you, me and Gu Xinyan! Zhang Chase! Do you still dare to kill me? If you kill me, there will be heavy casualties in the Japanese manga system, and you will have to reconsider changing factions. You're smart guy, you know it's not a good deal, right? β
Obviously, Liu Shu had secretly manipulated Luo Fan's body in order to prevent a situation like the current one, so as to use no faction to threaten Zhang Chai.
Looking at the willow tree that fell into madness, Zhang Chai couldn't help but feel a deep chill, the woman Willow was too ruthless! (To be continued......)
