Chapter 300: Go to the north to invite Esdeath!
"Take off your clothes."

Ke Ling spoke, his face serious.

"?"

Bud's eyes widened with shock, which then turned into anger.

"Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Obviously, Bud found it difficult to accept Ke Ling's unreasonable request. He didn't have that kind of hobby!

"Bah! I asked you to hand over your imperial weapon!"

Ke Ling rolled his eyes. What he wanted was [Thor's Wrath·Admiral], so he had to take it off!

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Bud frowned. This mysterious strong man came suddenly and his purpose was unclear. All he knew was that he had obvious hostility towards Ernest.

"I'm here to save the empire from disaster."

Ke Ling spoke up, which made Bud's brows frown even tighter. What nonsense is this?
"By killing Ernest?"

Bud continued to ask. He had already seen that the mysterious strong man in front of him did not seem to have much killing intention towards him.

Otherwise, this person could just kill him directly, and by killing him, he could take the imperial weapon away directly.

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Come with me and take a look."

Ke Ling extended an invitation to Bud. To be honest, although Bud's behavior of sticking to principles seemed a bit too old-fashioned and even a bit funny, Ke Ling always admired principled and loyal people. At least such people were safe to use.

"."

Bud was silent. He seemed to have no choice at this time. He glanced at the soldiers gathered in the distance, and finally he sighed.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Bud made a decision that at least this would reduce some casualties.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the organization behind this mysterious strongman. Has such a strong opposition force accumulated in the dark corners of the empire? Perhaps, it is time to make a change? Has Ernest really brought such harm to the empire?
Bud is not rigid and unchanging. From this point of view, he can still be saved and at least he is still a useful person.

Ke Ling waved his hand, and Bud was taken into the "shadow world". He also put away his two swords, and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadows.

"."

Seeing this scene, the guarding soldiers looked at each other and were stunned for a moment, but soon they all rushed forward and began to search around for the traces of Ke Ling and Bud.

Soon, at the Minister's residence, Minister Ernest received the news that General Budd had been attacked, defeated and captured, and had disappeared.

"what?!"

It has to be said that the events formed by these words together are too difficult for Minister Ernest to understand.

That's Bud! The supreme commander of the empire's military for many years, the user of the imperial weapon [Thunder God's Wrath - Admiral], the empire's thunder god, and one of the "two pillars of the empire" Bud!
"Who did it?!"

Minister Ernest didn't want to believe it. Who could do such a thing? Esdeath? Is that woman crazy? The key point is that Esdeath is not in the imperial capital now!
"It was a young man wearing a white windbreaker, very handsome."

This is all the information the soldiers have at the moment, which can be seen at a glance. They don’t even know what abilities Ke Ling has, they only know that Ke Ling uses dual swords.

"That's right! He can make General Bud disappear, and he himself can also disappear suddenly! He disappeared right under the soldiers' noses!"

The person who came to report thought of a key point, which obviously requires some special abilities to accomplish.

"what?!"

Minister Ernest was shocked again. This ability sounded very similar to the ability of [Dimensional Matrix Shangri-La].

[Dimensional Matrix Shangri-La], this imperial weapon is a space-moving imperial weapon that can instantly move the target to a designated location, but each use consumes a huge amount of energy, so it cannot be activated continuously. Its performance is also among the best among all imperial weapons, after all, it is a space-type imperial weapon.

This imperial weapon is currently in the hands of Minister Ernest's son, Sheila.

“Could it be that Silla is back?”

Minister Ernest was very surprised because his son Sheila had been away for a long time, traveling around the world.

"But can Sheila defeat Bud?"

Minister Ernest had doubts about this. They had not seen each other for a long time, and he did not know Sheila's current strength. However, he was very clear about Bud's strength. He was not someone who could be defeated by just anyone.

With Silla’s strength, even if he had an adventure, it would be difficult for him to grow to that level, so the possibility that it was Silla was very small.

Moreover, if it was Silla, she would have to report to him anyway.

“This matter must be taken very seriously.”

Minister Ernest had a serious expression on his face. He was the supreme commander of the military. If anything happened to Bud, it would definitely not be a trivial matter. Moreover, taking action against Bud would undoubtedly be a provocation to the entire empire.

Soon, Minister Ernest arrived at the palace. Naturally, he had free access to the palace. This was the trust of His Majesty the Emperor!

In the imperial study, Minister Ernest saw the little emperor reading a book, which made Ernest alert.

Why is this little emperor reading a book?

Minister Ernest murmured in his heart that he did not want the little emperor to work hard and become a talented person. After all, if the little emperor really became a talented person, how could he control the government?

He thought to himself that it was time to arrange a beauty pageant for the little emperor. He should get more beauties and more entertainment things to corrupt the little emperor severely and let him experience the joy of being an emperor. This way, the little emperor would not worry about state affairs. An emperor should be a ruthless stamping machine.

Minister Ernest naturally had long made arrangements for the little emperor. He wanted the little emperor to have a child early and then die early, so that he would not want to rule the country when he was old. In this way, their Ernest family could continue to support the little emperor.

This method can be used continuously and repeatedly, so that Ernest and his family will become the real controllers of the empire. As for the emperor, he is just a tool for stamping.

Even usurpation of the throne is not impossible. As long as they continue to intermarry with the royal family, their Ernest family will also have royal blood and may even be able to control the "Supreme Imperial Artifact".

In fact, he still kept the little emperor. One reason was that the royal family had ruled the empire for thousands of years, and there was a loyal royalist force in the empire, protecting the imperial system and the royal family. This "royalist force" was very powerful, and General Budd was an important part of it, which made Minister Ernest a little hesitant.

The second reason is for the empire's ultimate imperial weapon, the [National Guardian Mecha God, the Supreme Throne].

This is the original and strongest imperial tool. It is both the origin of imperial tools and the pinnacle of all imperial tools. It is called the "Supreme Imperial Tool". Legend has it that it possesses powers comparable to those of gods. Only those with the blood of the First Emperor can use this imperial tool.

The First Emperor was the one who founded the empire thousands of years ago, gathered the power of the empire to build imperial tools, and laid the foundation for the empire's millennium. His bloodline has also been in charge of this huge empire, and the existence of the [National Guardian Mecha God·Supreme Throne] has made great contributions.

The reason for keeping the little emperor and coaxing the little emperor was naturally all for this powerful weapon.

This is also the reason why the little emperor still has a lot of autonomy, because he really plays an irreplaceable role.

Although this imperial weapon is now in the care of Minister Ernest, it can only be used by the little emperor himself.

The other members of the royal family were basically slaughtered by Minister Ernest on the pretext of fighting for the throne. Not only could the little emperor not blame him, he even had to thank him.

"Minister? Why are you here?"

Seeing the minister enter the study, the little emperor put down the book and greeted Minister Ernest, who was in a daze, with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, an urgent message. General Bud was attacked and captured."

Minister Ernest told the little emperor the news directly, and the news naturally shocked the little emperor.

"what?"

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, as if he was wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Minister, are you talking about General Bud?"

The little emperor asked cautiously. He thought it was a misunderstanding. How could General Budd be General Budd?
"Yes, although it sounds incredible, it really happened. He was attacked and captured in his official residence."

Minister Ernest nodded. He was not joking.

"Who did it? Then. What should we do now?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from Minister Ernest, the young emperor was instantly at a loss. He was completely panicked. General Bud was one of the people he trusted the most and also the top fighting force of the empire. Even General Bud could get into trouble. The young emperor instantly felt uneasy.

Now that he said that, he seemed to have indeed heard thunder just now, and he was wondering why there was thunder suddenly out of the blue?

Now that I think about it, it was most likely General Bud who was fighting the enemy. Such a dangerous enemy had actually sneaked into a position so close to the palace. If he was able to defeat and capture General Bud, he might also have sneaked into the palace and threatened his life!

The little emperor looked at Minister Ernest with hope in his eyes. Now he was counting on Minister Ernest to give him advice.

"Perhaps it is time for us to let General Esdeath return to the court."

Minister Ernest touched his chin and made a suggestion that it was time to invite back the other of the "twin pillars of the empire".

"General Esdeath?"

The little emperor's eyes lit up. Yes! And General Esdeath!
"Hurry up and go to the north to ask General Esdeath to return to the court!"

Without any hesitation, the young emperor gave the order. As for the barbarians in the north, there was no need to worry at all. The empire never cared about the surrounding countries because they posed no threat to the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Minister Ernest nodded and agreed to the "order".

The northern ethnic groups had been invading the border for some time. Under the leadership of Numa Seka, the "Brave Man of the North", the northern ethnic groups united and began to encroach on the empire's territory to the south.

The Empire did not tolerate them and directly sent General Esdeath to deal with it. Minister Ernest felt that it would not take much time, and now he ordered Esdeath to return to the court, which meant that he wanted Esdeath to stop playing with them.

As long as Esdeath gets serious, the so-called "Hero of the North" Numa Seka is nothing but an ignorant clown.

"Minister, do you want to stay in the palace? General Bud has been attacked, and you might be the next target. The palace is safer, do you want to move in for a while?"

When Minister Ernest was about to leave, the little emperor suddenly asked a question with a very serious expression on his face.

"."

The little emperor's words made Minister Ernest stop. He looked at the little emperor and began to feel emotional.

This little emperor was so cooperative that he could not bear to kill him. If this little emperor did not cause trouble, it would not be impossible to keep this child and let him enjoy the good life in the harem.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Minister Ernest did not refuse and agreed immediately. It was indeed safer in the palace.

There are imperial tools specially used for setting traps, as well as a group of dangerous species raised with the tools to protect the safety of the palace.

Of course, even if he was alone, Ernest was not afraid at all. He was not afraid of anyone when fighting alone.

With the [Jewel Headdress·Ireston], any imperial tool user must kneel before him. Moreover, even if he relies on his physical strength alone, he is not afraid of the imperial tool user. He is very strong. Even General Bud has to respect his strength.

"We need to mobilize more imperial weapon users. The Imperial Capital Guard has been destroyed, so it's a good opportunity to set up a new unit."

Minister Ernest made a suggestion. He realized that the safety factor in the imperial capital was indeed a bit low. In just a few days, first the imperial capital guard was destroyed, and then Bud was attacked. It was simply lawless!
"Okay, very good, go ahead."

The little emperor agreed hastily. He also hoped that the capital would be safer. This was the emperor's territory. How could such a thing happen? !
On the other side, General Bud, who was pulled into the "Shadow World", opened his eyes.

Bud did not realize that this was already another world. He was just shocked by the scale and strength of the "resistance organization". Such a terrifying resistance force had actually grown in the shadow of the empire. He had never even seen many of the weapons and equipment!

"Is the Empire really going to end?"

Bud couldn't help but start to doubt in his heart. He wondered what the hell was Ernest doing, what the hell was the Imperial Assassination Squad doing, they didn't even notice such a large-scale resistance force! Were they just eating for free every day? !
The current "Shadow World" is indeed very lively. There are more and more buildings gathered around the Sky-Supporting Tower and the Einzbern Manor. It looks quite large, so it is no wonder that Bud was surprised.

The mechanical and android troops responsible for patrolling and guarding were enough to make Bud stop and observe. Their technological capabilities were indeed far superior to those of the Empire, and even he, who didn't understand technology, could see it.
