Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

"I agree. Anyone who shows mercy to the enemy is simply mentally ill."

"That's right!" Esdeath nodded vigorously. At this moment, she felt like she had found a soulmate, and the way she looked at Chen Xi became more and more cordial.

Thinking about her former friend Najenda, Esdeath had a lot to complain about. She couldn't understand why that woman sympathized with the enemy.

Dawn is the best, he understands his thoughts.

The consequence of this incident was that Esdeath always liked to talk to Chen Xi. The more they talked, the more they got along, as if they had met each other too late. She especially admired Dawn's talent, especially in training soldiers and combat. He was simply a genius.

Chen Xi: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

As an orthodox Chinese, who hasn’t read a few books on military strategy? Aren’t these the basics?

Compared to the guy who went to Africa to be a military strategist, he is far behind. That guy is what we call a master strategist.

While Chen Xi and Esdeath were fighting fiercely, Najeshita had a hard time. The night raid was basically completed, but she lacked manpower. She still hadn't found a suitable local leader. Whenever there was something, she asked Rab to go to the imperial capital to inquire about the news. This was not going to work, so she had to ask the headquarters for support. As a result, Chelsea and Susanoo, who were sent to support later in the original plot, arrived early and joined the night raid.

With the loss of Leone and Hill and the addition of Chelsea and Susanoo, the night raid was officially established. However, before taking action, they also had to undergo a series of training.

The main reason is that Esdeath is in the imperial capital, and Najeshita doesn't dare to act rashly, for fear of provoking that crazy woman. What's more, there is not only Esdeath now, but also Dawn.

Thinking of this, Najeshitan got a headache. According to her investigation, Dawn was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. Esdeath was strong, but she had simple ideas. To put it bluntly, she was brave but not wise.

Dawn is different. He is brave and resourceful. He is the kind of person she fears the most. In her heart, Dawn is a greater threat than Esdeath.

If it was just a strategic plan, she could have sent Akame and others to assassinate the other party, but Dawn's strength that was on par with Esdeath made Najeshitan dare not act rashly.

Let's wait a little longer. After Esdeath leads the imperial army to the battle, we can start the night attack.

Time passed quickly, and the prince of the northern ethnic group gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and captured the border of the imperial army with great force. He was regarded as the last hope by the locals.

According to various publicity, this prince is simply the chosen one.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to teach Esdeath a lesson: "See, this is the sequelae. Without you, the imperial army is nothing."

Esdeath was very embarrassed. She had never thought about these questions before, and no one dared to talk to her like that. Now that there was one more person, she felt quite curious.

What really changed her mindset was a sneak peek. Leone and Hill were sparring with each other, and Chen Xi was watching. Watching the two fight, he inadvertently revealed a happy smile.

This smile touched Esdeath's heart. She then realized that the old bastard could also smile. In addition, as all other conditions were met and she and he became more and more compatible, she was moved.

Esdeath was a man of action, and never hesitated to do things. That night, she called Chen Xi to her room and made their relationship clear: "I like you, do you want to be with me?"

Chen Xi had no objection and kissed her without saying a word. He stayed in Esdeath's room that night and the two of them became a couple.

Different from the way Esdeath and Tatsumi get along in the original work, in their interactions, Esdeath gives him more respect, which is also the result of strength. Of course, Esdeath is still the main focus.

When Chen Xi can beat her, the relationship between the two will be reversed, and then it will be Esdeath's turn to challenge him.

Esdeath likes this kind of life very much. It is interesting because it has challenges.

So when she did something wrong, Chen Xi would not indulge her bad habits and would say what needed to be said, but he also knew his limits and never cared about her hobbies.

What does it have to do with liking abuse and torture? It's not like he is abusing Chen Xi.

As for the things between lovers, Esdeath prefers to be on top, which saves him some energy.

The fall of the empire's border forced Esdeath to lead the army once again, and this time, the imperial army will change its previous combat mode. In Chen Xi's view, this is an actual combat training to eliminate those useless people.

The alien races are Chen Xi's food, and he urgently needs soul points, so there is no need to talk about innocence or not. This is war, and the essence of war is to destroy everything.

A voiceover sounded outside the imperial capital: "Najesita, Najensita, when will Night Raid become the number one in the imperial capital?"

Najeshitan looked arrogant and unruly: "Today~"

Chapter 79: Battle in the North

Chen Xi marched, set up camp, and arranged military affairs every day. Only in his spare time would he practice swordsmanship. The Eight-sided Han Sword that he had never used before finally found a place to use it.

Chen Xi learned swordsmanship from Esdeath. The opponent's sword was a double-edged sword, different from Akame's neon sword, but the swordsmanship was not much different. It included double-edged swordsmanship, single-edged knife skills, and was combined with body movements, the coordinated use of superpowers, etc., integrated together, it became an extraordinary skill, LV1 alien world swordsmanship, which can be upgraded to LV10 at most. It was not high-end, but it was enough for Chen Xi to use.

Now Chen Xi is dressed in local light armor, with a sword hanging on the left side and a python revolver on the right side. The ebony is placed in the storage space for backup, and it is not needed under normal circumstances.

It is indeed fun when Ebony shoots a gun, but after using it for a long time, he will always lose the joy of using the gun. It is far less enjoyable than when he changes the bullets in the Python revolver.

The super-electromagnetic gun is still under development, and it already has a prototype. Chen Xi is not in a hurry. He wants soul points more urgently, and this world is his best chance.

Since he has promised Leone to change the empire, rebellion is inevitable. If Chen Xi becomes emperor, the ethnic minorities around the empire, the An Ning Dao and the revolutionary army within the territory will all be obstacles to him and must be eliminated. Therefore, he will not show mercy in battle, nor will he care whether anyone is innocent. As long as they are not on the side of the empire, they will all be killed and turned into his nutrients.

The first blow was directed at the foreign ethnic groups in the north, followed by the foreign ethnic groups in the west, and then within the empire. The foreign ethnic groups in the south were more troublesome, and a wave of them were killed by Esdeath. The rest of them hid in the mountains and forests.

Sending the imperial army to the mountains to hunt down the locals was a bit of a loss, so Chen Xi simply released the shadow guards in advance and gave them only one order: go to the south to kill the foreign ethnic groups. There was no need to have any concerns, just kill them all.

The shadow guards would bring him soul point feedback from time to time. Ordinary people would get 1 point, and stronger captains would get 10 points. At most, he would get 100 points at a time. No one knew who the shadow guards had killed.

Most of them are 1 point, so Chen Xi can only make up for quality with quantity. He thinks that if he kills all these foreign races, it should be enough to exchange for the weakened version of Saitama's training method.

The northern barbarians rushed into the empire, looted it, and then retreated. They also received the news that Esdeath was leading her army to arrive, but too many victories made the other side's psychology swell to the point that they not only did not flee, but instead prepared for a desperate battle.

Right in the border area, the northern ethnic groups have made preparations and are waiting for Esdeath.

More than half a month later, the army arrived at the northern border. It was already a hell on earth. Just like Esdeath's cruelty towards the other ethnic groups, the other side would not be much better towards the Imperials.

Looking at all this, Chen Xi felt relieved. He felt that his decision was right. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. The best way to deal with foreign races is to kill them all.

When the two armies faced each other, the morale of the northern ethnic groups was high, but the imperial army seemed a little panicked. The main reason was that their fighting style had changed. General Esdeath was no longer leading the charge, and the commander was replaced by adjutant Dawn. They were also afraid.

Before the battle, Chen Xi found Esdeath and said, "You only need to deal with the strong enemies. Don't interfere with the battles of ordinary soldiers."

"I know, stop talking nonsense."

"I'm afraid you can't help it."

"Then...I'll just stand there and watch?"

“This is something they have to go through.”

"I...okay."

Esdeath, who loved her soldiers like her own sons, was determined not to watch. At worst, after killing the enemy's strong men, she would go back to the tent and leave the command of the battle to Dawn. If he lost, he could die to atone for his sin.

The northern foreign tribes launched a charge with a howl, and the Imperial Army gradually calmed down under the encouragement of commanders at all levels and began to prepare for battle according to those in training.

Seeing the enemy approaching, the commander Chen Xi gave the order: "Arrow formation ready, after three volleys, free firing."

The messenger waved the battle flag, and commanders at all levels gave orders after seeing the flag signals. As the flags were waved, the first round of arrows was shot out, like dark clouds covering the sky, covering the enemy army.

Then comes the second and third rounds.

The imperial army at the front also deployed its troops. The tall soldiers held large shields and blocked the enemy's vanguard attack. The soldiers behind them kept thrusting with spears, causing streaks of blood.

The two sides were in a stalemate here, the aliens were attacking desperately, and the imperial army was defending desperately. Wherever there were gaps, the people behind them quickly filled them. After the first line of defense, there were the second and third lines.

The archers protected by the infantry in the rear were still shooting arrows at the distant sky. They did not need to aim, just shoot freely at crowded places. The falling arrows were enough to cause enough damage to the foreigners who were wearing loose clothes.

The soldiers in the front were fighting to the death, but the soldiers behind could not rush forward. The vertical force gradually turned into a horizontal force. The foreign ethnic groups began to surround the Imperial Army, but no matter which direction they attacked from, they were faced with the Imperial Army's desperately defended defense line.

The imperial army was also fighting a hard battle. They were used to smooth battles and were not used to this kind of war. But at this time, they had to endure the discomfort. If they did not learn to adapt, they would die on the battlefield.

The strong men from the alien race could no longer sit still, and launched an attack under the leadership of the prince. On the imperial army side, Esdeath also led her men to meet the enemy. Just as Chen Xi requested, she only dealt with the strong.

Chen Xi, who was in the rear, saw that the enemy commander and strong men had rushed out, so he gave another order: "Let the cavalry go around from the side, attack the enemy's camp, cut off the flags, and burn the enemy camp."

After the flag signal, a large number of light cavalry quickly left the camp and attacked by a detour.

"Let the heavy cavalry charge the enemy lines, kill them and then return."

A small number of heavy cavalry rushed towards the soldiers of the foreign ethnic group and killed them from the side. The poorly equipped foreign ethnic group could not withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry and was crushed and fled all the way.

Chen Xi looked towards Esdeath again. This crazy woman was indeed strong enough. She was about to defeat all the strong men on the other side by herself. The prince, who was regarded as the light of hope, had been trampled under her feet.

"Send an order, tell the soldiers to prepare to pursue until the enemy is dead."

When the foreign soldiers saw that the prince was defeated and the camp was burned, they completely collapsed. They no longer had any fighting spirit and turned around to flee. The imperial army, which had been suppressed, finally turned the tables.

The soldiers in the shield formation moved to both sides, making enough space. The light infantry who had been prepared began to pursue, rushing up and chopping down the enemies one by one. The charging light cavalry also attacked again.

The heavy cavalry was resting, and they were ready to attack any place where foreign ethnic groups gathered to fight back.

The battle was commanded by Chen Xi. Every time a soldier killed an enemy, he would gain soul points, and his soul points increased madly.

Seeing that the enemy's defeat was inevitable and there was no chance of recovery, Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, chase them."

Esdeath happened to come back, and Chen Xi gave her an order: "Go to the periphery and block it with an ice wall to prevent the enemy from escaping."

Esdeath: "If I remember correctly, I am the commander, right?"

"I'm counting on you, Lord Commander."

Esdeath rolled her eyes at Chen Xi, but still did what she wanted. It seemed that recently, she was becoming less and less willing to refuse this guy's requests. When did this start?

The innocent Esdeath didn't know what PUA was, nor did she understand what a compliance test was. Chen Xi influenced her through little things.

According to Chen Xi's request, Esdeath blocked the battlefield with an ice wall and left a gap to prevent the enemy from fighting to the death. If they wanted to escape, they could only choose this gap.

Outside the gap, the previous light cavalry were on standby. If anyone escaped, they would continue to chase and kill them. If they couldn't escape, they would die inside.

The empire has been waiting for the other side's prince to gather these people together. If they really have to scatter and hunt them down, that would be too troublesome. It would be better to do it once and for all like this.

After defeating the foreign army, the remaining old, weak and sick people will be much easier to deal with.

Esdeath just likes war, likes to torture and abuse her enemies, and she has no interest in enemies who have no fighting ability.

Chen Xi was different. His goal was the soul points, and he knew very well what it meant to raise a tiger to cause trouble. If he didn't kill all the foreigners, there would be future troubles. He directly issued an order to exterminate the entire clan.

All foreigners, from soldiers to civilians, must die.

Chen Xi hypnotized himself, he was now a general of the empire, standing on the side of the empire, he would retaliate against those foreign ethnic groups the way they treated the people of the empire, there was nothing wrong with that.

It didn't take much time to defeat the alien army, but it took them more than a month to exterminate the alien race. They searched all over the north for the gathering places of the aliens and killed them whenever they met them.

When the imperial army retreated, there were not many people left among the northern ethnic minorities after being killed. These were those who hid well. With a population of hundreds of thousands, it was considered a lot if there were only 1,800 people left.

The Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses. As a result of the survival of the fittest, those who were not strong enough died on the battlefield, and those who survived are undergoing transformation. Looking at the Imperial Army soldiers now, their spirit and energy are completely different from before.

In the brainwashing education arranged by Chen Xi, the self-confidence and dignity of the Imperial Army were greatly satisfied. This was a war they won, and it was their victory. They could not only rely on General Esdeath as before.

The pie in the sky has been drawn: "Want to be a general? Then keep working hard, and one day, you will become a general of the empire!"

The imperial army was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. It turned out that fighting personally felt so good.

When it came to treating officers, Chen Xi's approach changed again. He prepared rewards according to their merits, and then asked Esdeath to ask for rewards from the Emperor when she returned to the imperial capital. The most important thing was the status of a noble.

Esdeath didn't understand. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her subordinates making contributions and becoming nobles, but she ignored the size of the cake.

The empire has been around for a thousand years, and all the fiefdoms that should be distributed have been distributed. There is no extra territory left for the new nobles. The birth of new nobles means an impact on the old nobles, which is something the old nobles do not want to see.

Therefore, this commendation order from Esdeath is destined not to be passed, and Minister Onesta will not agree to it. When that time comes, what will be the mood of the Imperial Army officers who are full of expectations?

What Chen Xi wanted was to create disunity between the imperial army and the royal family. When this dissatisfaction accumulated to a certain extent, he would start a rebellion.

The strategy originated from Taizu is still useful in this world. Kill the original nobles and make your own people the new nobles.

While Chen Xi and others were out fighting, night raids began, assassinating nobles in the imperial capital. They successfully completed the mission every time and then retreated smoothly, making the security team miserable.

In a short time, the reputation of the night attack spread throughout the imperial capital.

Chapter 80 Chelsea

Esdeath led the army back to the imperial capital. All those who had been secretly active before stopped, and even the night raiders did not dare to easily enter the imperial capital at this time.

Under Chen Xi's arrangement, Minister Ernest and Esdeath had a conflict of opinion. The fundamental reason was the issue of enthroning nobles. The minister gave the excuse that the merits were not enough and he would wait for the next time, and he would definitely enthronize them next time.

Those Imperial Army officers who were waiting to become nobles were very disappointed, but they did not complain too much. After all, there was still hope. In addition, Esdeath's usual prestige was still there, so they did not have any thoughts of rebellion.

This time it’s over, at most it just left a thorn in their hearts, but what about next time?

Esdeath was in a bad mood, so Chen Xi became her sparring partner. They had practiced against each other more than once. He grew with every battle, but he was still no match for Esdeath. The gap in their four-dimensional attributes was still too great.

After the sparring, the two took a bath together and then changed the battlefield. This time Chen Xi could get back at the upper hand. No matter how strong you, Esdeath, are, you were still defeated by me.

Compared to the shameless lives of these two people, Najeshita's life is not so easy, mainly due to the pressure from the upper class.

The war between the Imperial Army and the northern ethnic groups was no longer a secret at this time. Everyone knew what they should and shouldn't know. What the Revolutionary Army worried about finally happened. The change in the Imperial Army was the worst thing that could happen to them.

In the past, the Imperial Army could only count on Esdeath. She was like a firefighter, rushing to wherever there was trouble. But now, the Imperial Army has begun to grow independently. Even without Esdeath in the future, the Imperial Army's combat effectiveness will not be weak. As a result, the pressure faced by the Revolutionary Army is too great. All these changes came from Dawn. So after discussion, the leadership of the Revolutionary Army ordered Najeshitan to kill Dawn at all costs.

Najeshitan was extremely worried. If the other party was so easy to be assassinated, she would have taken action long ago.

A strong attack would definitely not work. Najeshitan planned more than ten plans, and after rejecting them one by one, she finally placed her hope on Chelsea, relying on her imperial weapon to see if there was a chance to get close to Dawn.

After investigation, there are four people who are close to Dawn. Esdeath and Chelsea are not to be trifled with, so she plans to pick one of the remaining three to impersonate.

Leone and Hill became close friends. They did everything together, either training in the barracks or going into the city together. In short, they were rarely apart and were not suitable to be targets.
