I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

He hadn't expected that after he had purged several princes from within the country and quelled the internal strife, the people of the empire would actually come.

The visitors were a middle-aged bald man and a blonde girl.

Father and daughter?

He recognized them somewhat, and after a moment's thought, memories of the two people surfaced in his mind.

They seem to be civil officials of the Empire, the father and daughter who were killed by the Three Beasts and then framed by Night Raid.

I never expected that they would come to my place.

So, what is their purpose in coming here?

The captain of the Hailan Empire's guards knelt respectfully on one knee, his right hand raised in front of him, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the people from the Empire have been brought over."

Hailan IX, Hailan·White Night!

He pulled the Hailan Empire out of the mire, and now the Hailan Empire has complete faith in Bai Ye. Those who disobeyed have long been buried.

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

Bai Ye was very curious as to why this civil official, who would never appear in anime, would come here.

"Look directly at me!"

The civil official paused for a moment, then looked up at Bai Ye, and even his daughter beside him looked over with curiosity.

When we arrived, the head of the guards said that we were not allowed to look up directly at His Majesty without his permission.

Looking at the handsome and young emperor before him, Beth stood there stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind. He had never imagined that the young emperor could end the turmoil in the Hailan Empire and kill several of his brothers to successfully ascend to the throne.

This guy didn't seem like the kind of ruthless person at all. The moment Beth saw him, she learned what it meant to judge a book by its cover.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can help our empire."

"Are you representing the Empire, or Minister Ernest?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Bai Ye's lips as he propped his head up and looked down at the bass on the ground.

In Bai Ye's view, his stance should represent the Empire, right?

So now his request should be to be at odds with Minister Ernest, but isn't that just giving himself an opportunity to take advantage?

He's afraid he won't get a chance.

"empire!"

Beth said without hesitation, a fervent look flashing across his face as he looked at Bai Ye: "I want to rebuild this corrupt empire. The empire is in this state entirely because of Ernest!"

"So you're going to rely on my power? Aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to do something to the Empire?"

Bai Ye was very curious. If Beth was going to rebuild the empire, then he would have to face Ernest.

The empire's collapse was not solely due to Ernest. While Minister Ernest certainly accelerated the empire's decay, its corruption was undeniable.

An empire that has survived for a thousand years. Outside the capital, it is extremely difficult for people to survive, while the capital is a place where people eat each other. The nobles control everything, while ordinary people are killed and exploited for various reasons.

"Fighting will only make us weaker."

Beth shook his head, indicating that he simply did not believe that Bai Ye would choose to start a war with them at this time.

First of all, the Hailan Empire has also just experienced internal strife. They haven't even resolved their own problems yet, so how could they possibly send troops to deal with them now?

Secondly, the only person he needs to deal with is Minister Ernest. In Beth's view, the empire will not weaken after Ernest and his henchmen die; on the contrary, it will gather even greater and stronger power.

Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for them to attack themselves.

"You really have a keen eye."

Without the cheat system, Bai Ye felt that what Bess said was indeed correct.

There are still many unresolved issues within the Hailan Empire. He himself doesn't have much strength, and the ability to stabilize the current situation is actually due to the help of the Hailan Empire's personal guard, the Neptune Crusaders.

The Neptune Crusade is composed of the strongest warriors of the Hailan Empire, consisting of four squad leaders and one captain. They do not participate in the internal power struggles of the royal family; whoever becomes emperor, they will follow.

After Bai Ye successfully took power, he gained the allegiance of the Sea King Crusaders, and it was with their help that Bai Ye successfully suppressed the problems within the Hailan Empire.

Unlike the Imperial Arms of the Eastern Empire, the Hailan Empire relies on its own cultivated magic power to fight.

However, very few people possess magical powers, let alone those who cultivate to become even more powerful.

The four squad leaders are roughly as strong as the eldest brother from Night Raid, while the captain-in-chief is comparable to Esdeath, but whether he can win or not is uncertain.

So under normal circumstances, Bai Ye would definitely not have been so rude in fighting with the other party.

We should wait until the Revolutionary Army makes a move before taking action. After all, according to the anime, the Revolutionary Army eventually killed Esdeath and General Boudoir, didn't they?

But the situation is different now.

He didn't need to be so passive at all.

But for now, it doesn't seem necessary to tell him all this, does it?

Bai Ye thought to himself with a dark heart that he only needed to spend some more time stabilizing the situation in the Hailan Empire.

"Therefore, I hope Your Majesty Baiye will intervene!"

Beth looked at Bai Ye with serious eyes, but the playful smile on Bai Ye's lips made him feel a little uneasy.

“You can’t represent the Empire. Minister Honest holds the power, and your young emperor listens to him. Esdeath doesn’t listen to you much, but she’s clearly not on your side. Bud will only protect the young emperor and won’t care about anything else. There’s also the Revolutionary Army within your ranks. Tell me, who can you represent?”

Are you kidding me?

This is just wishful thinking on Bass's part!

Bai Ye wasn't going to play house with him here!

If Beth could truly represent the young emperor of the empire and ask for help, then he would actually talk to him. But in reality, he couldn't represent him at all.

So no matter how much Bai Ye said to him, it was actually of no use.

"Father."

A hint of worry flashed across Neve's face. She glanced at Beth, then at Bai Ye, who was sitting on the throne, looking at her father with a mocking expression. A sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

My father had received a transfer order and intended to return directly to the Empire to see if he could use Bud's power to contend with the ministers.

However, after learning about the Hailan Empire, he decided to go there first to see if he could get their help.

Hearing his daughter's soft call, Beth turned around and gave Neve a reassuring look, but he also knew that he couldn't fool her anymore. A cold sweat trickled down Beth's forehead.

He was thinking about what he should do.

"You can't solve the situation in the empire; it's different from us."

Bai Ye shook his head. This poor old man, even in his dying moments, was still thinking about the empire.

unfortunately

He eventually died at the hands of the empire.

"why?"

Beth was unwilling to give up; he had actually thought about it before he came.

"Don't you already have the answer? Isn't that why you chose to leave the capital? As a member of the Empire, shouldn't you know better than me? Why pretend to be confused and ask me?"

Bai Ye's words pierced Beth's heart like a sharp blade. How could he not know this?

Just like Bai Ye said before, wasn't it because he couldn't stand the darkness in the capital that he chose to leave?

I'm just like a coward, unable to change anything, so I can only choose to turn a blind eye.

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

"So it's a rejection, right?"

Beth lowered his head. Since he had been rejected, he would resolve the matter in his own way.

With that, he stood up, preparing to take his leave.

What reason can you give us to enter the Empire?

Bai Ye, however, wanted to use Bess to enter the Empire.

But he needed a reason. He came alone, so what reason could he have to get there?

"I can request that General Bud make it a condition that both sides work together to resolve the Revolutionary Army!"

He wanted to use the power of the White Night to kill Ernest. The only one who could kill Ernest was the Hailan Empire, so he could only cling to this unrealistic fantasy!

"So, shall we go in individually, or as part of the military?"

Bai Ye's question left Beth stunned.

Yes.

In what form should they enter?

"So you should talk to Bud first, otherwise this is just wishful thinking. Go and rest."

Bai Ye waved his hand, telling Beth to go down first. He hadn't even made any decisions on his end yet, and he was already asking him to go over. He was really overthinking things!

"I understand, I will get back to you as soon as possible!"

Beth nodded, and then left the palace with Neve, arriving at their assigned bedroom under the guidance of the guards.

"Father, do we really have to do this? Aren't we just inviting trouble?"

Neve had kept quiet for a long time, thinking far ahead: why would the Hailan Empire help?

Wouldn't they take this opportunity to annex the empire?

Would they be so kind as to help the Empire?

Wouldn't a weak and decaying empire be more reassuring?

"We need to exploit their greed, otherwise they won't help. The situation within the Empire is very complicated. If they deal with the ministers and fight Esdeath, they won't win. But if they don't fight Esdeath, they can't swallow up the Empire!"

The Empire is not only about Esdeath, but also about General Bud.

So Beth had planned from the beginning that the Hylan Empire would never have a chance to seize power, but he was also prepared for the possibility of losing some of his territory to the other side.

But no matter what, if he could get rid of the empire's cancer, he felt that all the sacrifices would be worthwhile!

"But."

"Just say what you have to say!"
