Chapter 307: Peak Showdown! (2/4 guarantee, please subscribe!) )
"General Estes, you did a good job of suppressing the North."
"As a reward, I have prepared ten thousand taels of gold for you." Z.br>
According to the minister's instructions, the little emperor rewarded General Estes who returned to the imperial capital.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I will pass this reward on to the soldiers who are guarding the northern fortifications, so that everyone can feel the grace together."
Kneeling on one knee was a beautiful woman in a white military uniform with long silver-blue hair.
But under her beautiful surface lies a shaky S and a tyrannical and bloodthirsty character.
She is a battle maniac on par with General Bud, the youngest and strongest general in the entire empire - Estes.
The reason why Minister Earnest would allow such a dangerous figure to return to the center of power in the imperial capital was because he knew that Estes was not interested in politics and power at all.
Winning wars and ravaging enemies is what Estes is all about.
And as long as he is in power, Estes can do whatever he wants with his indulgence.
So the two of them are actually on the same side of interest.
Then, Estes indicated in front of the little emperor that he would wipe out the "Night Raid" next.
And when the little emperor asked her if she had any other rewards she wanted, she unexpectedly replied that she wanted to fall in love, which almost ruined the three views of the little emperor and the minister.
At the end of the day, no matter how scary this woman is, she is still a woman in the first place.
。。。。。。
It didn't take long for Najehitan to gather everyone again.
"Bad news, Estes has returned to the Imperial Capital."
Everyone's hearts immediately sank, and their faces were serious.
Except for one person.
Najehitan's gaze swept over everyone, and it lingered on Abel's face for a few seconds, as if trying to read his true thoughts, but failed.
"Leonay, you go to the Imperial Capital immediately and confirm the whereabouts of Estes."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Leonamo left with a fist and energy.
She hadn't seen Estes's terrifying strength, and now she was still thinking about whether she could directly assassinate the other party.
Najehitan then issued several more orders, mainly to suspend the assassination mission first, so as not to fall into the trap of the Empire again.
After the whole team was disbanded, Najehitan called Abel alone.
"A woman's instinct tells me that you don't seem ready to act with us anymore."
"No way, men don't always have much patience. Now that Estes has returned to the Imperial Capital, of course I want to meet the strongest in the Empire."
Najeshitan said with a very serious face, "Abel, I didn't mean to stop you, and I don't know what kind of grudge you have between you and Estes."
"But I know Estes better, and if I want to defeat this man, I need at least 50,000 elite soldiers and more than 10 imperial envoys. This is still a conservative estimate, and the real situation may require more manpower."
"So I don't want you to act rashly, give me a little time, okay?"
Abel looked at her and saw the sincerity in her eyes.
After all, they have a common enemy.
If you want to overthrow the Empire, you must get rid of Estes.
And this undoubtedly requires an excellent timing and battle plan.
If you do it rashly, there is a high chance of failure, and a lot of people will die.
If Abel were from this world, perhaps he would approve of the other party's plan and think about it in the long run.
But alas, he is not.
He was limited in the amount of time he could stay in this world, and he couldn't wait slowly.
So he can only live up to the other party's kindness.
"I'll kill Estes, and you'll take care of the rest."
Abel laughed, then turned to leave.
Najehitan didn't hold on because she knew she couldn't convince the man.
And just as Abel left, the others came out of the room one by one, fully armed.
"You..."
"If he can defeat Estes, then perhaps this is our best chance to break into the palace and kill the minister."
"If Able fails, maybe we'll be able to get him out."
"That's right, Big Brother Abel is so strong, I think we will be able to succeed!" Tazmi's faith is greater than anyone's.
"I'm going too, it's a big deal to give him back this life."
A somewhat weakened Hill also stepped out.
"It's just nonsense!"
Najehitan was furious.
。。。。。。
In front of the food house on the lively street of the imperial capital, Estes sat alone under the pergola, eating ice cream and drinking tea.
On the opposite roof, Leonay quietly stared at his target, and before he knew it, cold sweat was already running down his cheeks.
"After the beastiness, I realized that this guy acting alone was just a trap to lure the assassin into appearing."
"The proof is the smell of her body, an ominous murderous aura!"
"Looking for a chance to take her down or something... It's so naïve."
"Although I am not reconciled, I still follow my instinct and retreat!"
After a battle between heaven and man, Leonai still suppressed the urge in his heart and gritted his teeth and evacuated.
"Huh? The breath is gone?"
"It's a shame that you weren't fooled, and you want to try a new way of torture."
Estes glanced at the roof opposite, slightly disappointed.
But she soon put this emotion behind her, firstly because the ice cream in her hand was delicious, and secondly because a very handsome man sat next to her.
"Excuse me, is it General Estes?"
Abel asked very politely.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just make sure, if you kill the wrong person, it's not good."
"Are you the killer of the Night Raid?"
"Sort of, but I don't have those noble ideas, just to wait for you to come back and pass the time."
"Wait until I get back? Want revenge on me? Interesting. But I've killed so many people that I can't remember the name of the person you avenged for."
"Revenge? No, no, no, who would for such a boring reason. It's just that I want to kill you, that's all."
"There's no reason to declare war on me, it seems that you have more backbone than the guy who escaped before."
Estes stood up and threw away the unfinished ice cream in his hand, "Let's go, let's change to a place with fewer people. If you manage to please me, maybe I can give you a decent death."
"I hope you can continue to maintain this confidence later."
Able shrugged and followed the other.
The two of them walked towards the distance one after the other, and both of them had absolute confidence in their own strength.
After a while, they came to the outskirts of the imperial capital.
"It's a nice place, it's perfect for burying bones, and no one will bother us."
