Chapter 210: Joining the Imperial Army
In the year 1024 of the Imperial Calendar, a group of strangely dressed travelers appeared outside the bustling imperial capital.
From their special attire, it can be seen at a glance that they are not from the imperial capital, or even from the empire, but they are by no means those poor alien peoples. The mere fact that they appeared on the road caused a lot of discussion among the people of the Empire.
The empire, an ancient country with a thousand-year-old civilization, is the most powerful country in the world, and the only country that can compete with it is the kingdom of the West, while the southern islands and the northern tundra are relatively backward, and the eastern island countries are uncivilized.
This group of people, no matter which one of them is noble, is as dazzling as a star in the dark.
Could it be that they came from the Western Kingdom?
Amid the speculation of the people of the empire, this group of travelers walked into the imperial capital.
The imperial capital is lively, and there is a thriving scene everywhere.
At least, that's what Night Sky Star and the others saw. As for the decay hidden beneath the faΓ§ade of this prosperity, it is not known.
After entering the Imperial Capital City, Night Sky Star received the task released by the system.
"Ding, the main quest has been opened, choose between the Imperial Army and the Rebel Army, the mission time limit: two days."
Knowing the content of the mission, Night Skystar's expression became quite strange.
When he first came to this world, he didn't even know what kind of world it was, and let him choose to join one of the forces, was it too impatient?
However, since two days have been given, it is enough to understand the situation in this world.
Thinking of this, Night Sky Star walked into a hotel with all the beautiful girls.
Generally speaking, a crowded hotel is the best place to inquire about it. Although it is easy for him to get into trouble with this group of girls. It's just that if anyone dares to underestimate this group of women, they will wait for bad luck.
Wherever they go, they will be the center of attention, and the women say they are used to it.
They didn't care about the eyes that came from all around them and tried to eat them alive. Calmly found a place with few people and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, a rosacea-nosed man came crookedly. Seeing that his face was flushed and he couldn't even stand on his feet, he knew that the thing was drunk.
Just as he was about to say something, he couldn't help but burp, and the unpleasant smell made the women frown.
Without saying a word, Night Sky Star grabbed his clothes and threw him out. The drunken man who fell into the street raised his head and opened his mouth as if to say something, but fainted in a dark voice.
Seeing this scene, some people with bad intentions also dispelled some thoughts in their hearts.
Just kidding, the drunk man just now had more than 200 pounds, and he could throw it out if he grabbed it with one hand. What a force it takes! Having this kind of strength is not something that ordinary people can provoke.
The phenomenon of fights and brawls is obviously a normal phenomenon in a place like a tavern, and although the others were surprised by the strength of the Night Sky Star Chart, they didn't pay much attention to it, but the voices of the conversations between each other were much quieter. It seems that it is not cost-effective to beat up this group of powerful outsiders if they feel uncomfortable.
However, although the voice of their conversation was not as loud as it was at the beginning, it was not small, and in addition, each of Ye Tianxing and the others was deaf and clear, so it was easy to hear the content of their conversation.
During the conversation of these people, Nightstar heard a few key words.
"Nightraid", "Red Pupil", "Assassination", etc.
This group of people is basically talking about an assassination group called "Nightraid", which has been very arrogant in the imperial capital recently. said that so-and-so member assassinated a certain official again, and what kind of relationship did that official have with the minister, etc., and the most famous of this assassination group was a girl named Red Hitomi.
"I didn't expect it"
Ye Tianxing really never thought that he would come to the world of "Chopping the Crimson Pupil"!
Then the main quest also has an eyebrow.
The nightraid was the rebel army (revolutionary army) to deal with the regular army of the empire, and also to sweep away the scum that was harmful to the revolution. A killer squad of nearly 10 members was formed to assassinate the Empire's crazy lackeys and collect the Emperor's tools scattered all over the place.
If you successfully join the Nightraid, you will join the rebel army.
As far as Night Sky Star is concerned, it must be on the side of the protagonist. Especially there are a lot of high-quality girls on the nightraid side. But since I'm here with you, let's talk to you first.
"Ahem~ You should have roughly known what kind of world this is from the conversations of those people around you just now, right?"
Artoria reacted first.
She frowned and said, "This organization is called nightraid. I think I want to save this country from corruption by removing the cancer, right? The idea is good, but the practice is meaningless! β
"How?"
"The country is corrupt because it has gone in the wrong direction in the process of development. If there is no correct leader to guide them, even if one corrupt official is killed, the next corrupt official will appear, and the corrupt official will be killed. When an predecessor who exploited the people once dies, the next one will exploit them again, and in doing so, they will make the lives of ordinary people even more difficult. β
Although Artoria did not know that the "nightraid" was the organization of the revolutionary army, and mistook this killer group for the "messenger of justice" to save the empire, but in general the direction was not wrong, and the nightraid was indeed to save the oppressed people from suffering.
It's just that, as Artoria said, they simply didn't realize that this approach didn't work at all. No matter how many corrupt officials they kill, they will not be able to liberate the people from suffering.
Hearing her say this, Nightstar also understood that his idea of joining Nightraid was in vain.
He could have gone his own way, but Artoria's words made him realize that even if he joined the nightraid, it wouldn't change anything.
Moreover, "nightraid" is a pawn in the eyes of the rebels, the kind that can be discarded at any time. Just look at the ending in the anime, the first thing the rebel army did after overthrowing the rule of the empire was to blacklist the members of the great hero "nightraid", and push all the darkness of the rebel army's revolution to the members of "nightraid".
In that case, then join the Imperial Army.
Although Night Sky Star is not interested in saving the world, if he can attack those high-quality girls in the process, he is still happy to do it.
"I've decided, let's join the Imperial Army!"
"Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
Artoria asked, looking at him in surprise. The other girls were also curious to look at the night star.
Of course, Ye Tianxing would not say the reason for the mission, and he said righteously: "Since we have come to this world, we have to do something, right?" I couldn't bear to see the empire of this world corrupt and the people living hard, so I wanted to help them. β
This lofty ideological consciousness immediately made the women awe-inspired.
"With great ability comes great responsibility, and since we have met this country and have a relationship with this country, we can't say anything if we don't do something. Tianxing, your idea is very good, I support you! β
As an honest and honest king, Artoria can't see the suffering of ordinary people, even if the people of this world have nothing to do with her. If Ye Tianxing didn't say it, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it because of her identity, but Ye Tianxing said so, of course she raised her hands in approval.
Yukikaze, Elquit, Esther, Scarlet Sakura, and Lara basically have the mentality of playing in different worlds with Night Sky Star, and it doesn't matter what you do.
As long as Night Sky Star nodded, they would just follow.
The high-sounding words of Night Sky Star just now were mainly said to Artoria, who had a strong sense of autonomy. After all, in terms of personality, Artoria is the closest thing to an ordinary person in this group.
Although it has been decided to join the Imperial Army, a new problem has arisen.
No matter how corrupt the empire is, it is always the center of the country, and those countrymen generally choose to try their luck in the imperial capital in order to get ahead, and the easiest and most direct way is to join the army.
Nightstar wanted to join the Imperial Army, but he didn't want to start with the most basic soldiers. With his and this group of women's skills, being a general is more than enough!
Sure enough, if you want to be simple and on top, you still have to rely on relationships.
On the imperial side, there are currently the three giants.
Minister Earnest, who manipulated the young emperor to practice an endless tyrannical government; General Bude, the supreme commander of the Imperial Army, who was trusted by the emperor, commanded the palace guards; The youngest and strongest female general in the Empire, Estes, who is on par with General Bud.
Needless to say, Minister Earnest could be regarded as the person they were going to deal with in the end, and it was impossible for him to ask for help, and besides, it was impossible for this thing to meet strangers in order to avoid the assassination of Nightraid.
General Bud was an upright and old-fashioned man, dedicated to serving the Empire, and was not at all polite to his ministers, and was called "old stubborn" by Estes and his ministers. Following the ancestral precepts, military generals could not interfere in politics, so although they were aware of the corrupt behavior of ministers and others, they did not interfere, but only used their authority to protect the officials of the conscience faction.
Although Night Sky Star admired him very much, because of his personality, he gave up the idea of looking for him through the back door.
In the end, it seems that the only thing left is Estes, one of the two strongest female generals in the empire.
Born in the northern border region, Estes is the daughter of the patriarch of the Balutes, a race that specializes in hunting dangerous species, and has been deeply rooted in the idea of the jungle from an early age. After returning from a solo hunt, he found that the whole clan was wiped out by the alien races in the north, and since then he has been more convinced that the only way to survive is to become a strong maniac, and he is a complete battle maniac.
Then it's a lot easier! (To be continued......)
