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

After listening to Beth's words, Neve nodded and voiced another concern in her heart: "They need benefits, but it seems that we can't give them any benefits at all."

"So, Neve, I want to keep you here. Marry him!"

"what?"

Neve stared wide-eyed at Beth, never expecting her father to say such a thing.

Is she going to stay here and marry Bai Ye?

“He has just ascended the throne, and there is no one in his harem right now. If you are able to... Anyway, Neve, you are of marriageable age. He is the king of a country, as you just saw. He is top-notch in appearance, power, and everything else. I think he should be a good choice.”

Beth had already planned it out before she came.

Perhaps they could arrange a marriage between their daughter and their emperor, thereby increasing their influence.

His daughter is beautiful too, but does he really have to be so despicable?

Beth was also wondering if what she was doing was the right thing to do.

So he didn't bring it up in the main hall, but only after returning here did he mention it to Neph. He wanted to ask Neph's opinion, and if she really didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.

Neve's mother died early, and he and Neve grew up together, relying on each other. How could he be so heartless as to send his daughter away after watching her grow up?

And most importantly, he can't guarantee he'll survive this time.

His opponent was a minister, and if he died, Neve wouldn't fare any better. It would be better to marry Neve off to the emperor of the Hailan Empire, at least then she could survive.

"Father, I want to change the empire, but I..."

As Neve spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, for she herself knew that it seemed like a pipe dream to change the empire with their own power.

The minister and Esdeath.

They probably can't handle this, right?

At first, Neve was somewhat confident, thinking that as long as she went back, things might change. After all, General Bud wasn't on their side; he was only protecting the young emperor.

For a moment, she couldn't help but waver in her previously held beliefs.

The other end.

The ministers were discussing the idea that Bai Ye had previously mentioned—to help the empire.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for us to watch them fight amongst themselves?"

The bearded minister looked at Bai Ye with a puzzled expression. He was a staunch supporter of Bai Ye, but he also didn't quite understand why Bai Ye was doing this.

That was before.

An invisible pressure emanated from Bai Ye; if it were in the past, he definitely wouldn't have made a move.

But things are different now; he wants a chance to win a prize!

Therefore, it is necessary to intervene in matters over there. However, the Western Empire has never appeared in the anime.

"I agree! We must defeat them honorably!"

A middle-aged military general, brimming with vitality, was the first to agree.

He didn't want to resort to tricks and schemes to defeat the empire while it was weak; he wanted to defeat it fair and square!

"His Majesty's aura is so strong."

The captain of the Neptune Crusade's gaze unconsciously fell on Bai Ye.

It seems different from before.

But the other side has Esdeath.

"Then let's discuss how to annex the empire!"

Bai Ye stood up, and all the ministers, including the members of the Neptune Crusaders, involuntarily knelt down. His kingly aura gave them an indescribable feeling.

As for Bai Ye, who came from that place, no one could stop his determination to unify the country!

In that place, the first thought of any feudal lord in ancient times was to unify the country!

How could he stand by and watch his people suffer when the empire on this land was so corrupt?

That will all be his from now on!

So let's figure out a way to bring the empire under our control and get all the rewards!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 224 The existence of Night Raid is nothing but a tragedy, Bai Ye's talk-no-jutsu!

“Your Majesty, to attack the Empire, we must deal with Esdeath and Bud. I can handle one of them.”

Enki, the captain of the Sea King Crusade of the Hylan Empire.

He didn't agree with Bai Ye attacking at this time, but he didn't oppose it either.

The Neptune Crusaders are loyal to the king of the Hylan Empire.

“I can handle it, and we also have allies.”

"ally?"

Enki muttered something under his breath, then asked, "Is it about what His Majesty instructed us to do earlier?"

"That's right. Everyone, if you have any questions about the Empire, go back and come up with a plan for me. Whether it's peace or war, you can submit it to me."

Bai Ye has already cleaned up the court, but there are some things he won't say in front of so many people.

He dismissed everyone except Enki, just as the guest who had come from afar seemed to have arrived as well.

"Come out."

Bai Ye called out to the screen behind him, and a woman walked out from behind the screen.

"The Revolutionary Army actually sent you. Najenda, the former Imperial general and current leader of the Night Raid."

The revolutionary army had long been in contact with the Hailan Empire.

Even a significant portion of the Revolutionary Army's supplies were provided by their Hailan Empire.

Otherwise, how could their revolutionary army have persisted until now, given their strength?

Before Bai Ye ascended to the throne, the old emperor had been secretly funding the revolutionary army, hoping that the revolutionary army could turn the empire upside down.

"His Majesty."

Najendan knelt on one knee respectfully.

She was sent here because the revolutionary army arranged for her to talk to the newly enthroned emperor about the issue of future support.

Most of the Empire's resources are controlled by the nobles in the capital. If they want to fight the Empire, they have to rely on a third-party force. They had contacted Kagaya Ubuyashiki before.

However, the other party refused, citing non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki had to deal with the demons in his own country, so at that time the Revolutionary Army also set its sights on the Hailan Empire.

The reason I didn't approach the Hailan Empire at first was because I knew they had ambitions.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki has a gentle personality. Even if the Revolutionary Army wins in the end, he will not come to steal the fruits of victory if you cooperate with him.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was too weak, and given his own personality, he did not participate.

Thus, the cooperation with the Hailan Empire was put on the table.

In the end, the leader of the revolutionary army also decided to cooperate. If they did not cooperate, the most likely outcome would be that they would be wiped out by the Empire. If they could not even guarantee supplies, who would follow them to fight the Empire?

Cooperating with the Hailan Empire is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger, but at least there is a chance.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm already aware of my collaboration with you, but I'm still considering whether to continue our partnership!"

Bai Ye looked at Najenda with a smile. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he did not say it directly.

After all, it's not me who needs to beg the other party now.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Najenda was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Bai Ye's first words would be like this.

But then she thought again and realized that the other party wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get something in return.

"Your Majesty, our battle with the Empire has now reached a fever pitch. If we lose the support of the Hailan Empire, we will be utterly defeated, and all our previous investments will be rendered useless!"

Najendan's words were very clear.

Without resources, their revolutionary army cannot afford to drain the empire here in Hailan.

Actually, everyone knows what the other person is thinking.

"But you've given me absolutely no hope. How are you going to defeat Esdeath and Bud?"

Bai Ye chuckled as he looked at Najenda. To put it bluntly, if Esdeath hadn't been so love-struck and the little emperor hadn't been so brainless, they probably really wouldn't have been able to beat them.

First of all, the young emperor's Supreme Imperial Arms was completely useless; he fought terribly.

Then there's Esdeath's arrogance and love-struck nature, which directly turned a favorable start into a losing battle for the team.

"But your goal is nothing more than to make us weaken the Empire!"

Najenda bluntly exposed Bai Ye's words.

That was all she could do.

In fact, she could also see that Bai Ye was much more difficult to deal with than the old emperor.

However, even the old emperor probably had the same goal, but compared to the more insidious old emperor, the new emperor seems to be more direct.

"That's right, we want to weaken the empire and then annex it."

Bai Ye said without any politeness.

This rendered everything Najenda had prepared to say futile.

She had a lot to say, but you just blurted it out. What kind of logic is that?

However, this also allowed Najenda to gain a deeper understanding of Byakuya.

Did I kill the conversation?

It's good that you know.

Enkidu and Najenda below remained silent, but both understood that since Bai Ye had already said so, what else could he say?
