I, Manye's best friend, face General Raiden at the beginning

Najeshitan listened to Leone's story with a serious expression.

At this moment, she was in the main position.

The people who were going to attack at night also gathered together.

In exchange for Esdeath's death, he offered three imperial weapons.

Moreover, the reward will be paid after Esdeath's death, so it is a sure-win deal no matter how you look at it.

but!

Tatsumi looked at Su-nii.

Everyone looked at Mr. Xu.

In their view, [Susanoo] is more than just an imperial weapon.

He is still a member of the night raid and everyone's partner. How could they hand him over as a bargaining chip?

"If I can kill Esdeath, I can do it."

Susanoo said this while being watched by everyone.

He understood everyone's determination to overthrow the empire, and he also understood the resistance brought by Esdeath.

Maybe this is a good idea, provided that the so-called Fatui have no ill intentions towards the night raid.

Najeshitan shook her head slightly.

"Night Raid will not trade with his companions."

"I will inform the headquarters of the situation and ask them to send [Water Dragon Possession] and [Five Visions Universal Power] over."

"If the Fatui have no ill intentions in their night raid on us, the two imperial weapons will be our reward."

"After all, Esdeath was their target, wasn't she?"

Hearing this, everyone who had attacked at night breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Mr. Xu is the boss's imperial weapon, and the real decision-making power actually lies with the boss.

Although [Water Dragon Possession] and [Five Visions Universal Power] have been delivered to the headquarters.

But it is said that no suitable holder has been found yet.

There won't be any problem if you take it now.

but.

Can the Young Master of Fatui really kill Esdeath?

Does another world really exist in this world?

Everyone in Night Raid knew how powerful Esdeath was.

Even when Leone said that the threat posed by the other party was no less than that posed by Esdeath.

In fact, they didn't really believe that the young master could kill Esdeath.

They just believed in Leone's judgment and thought that the young master could at least have a brief fight with Esdeath.

If it is used in conjunction with something to carry out the assassination.

Or if they use some strange imperial tool or otherworldly means...

The preparations of [Water Dragon Possession] and [Five Omniscient Visions] were only used to deal with the small probability of Esdeath being killed.

Of course, they are also looking forward to this kind of low-probability event.

……

Inside the empire.

Because there is still no progress in the case of the soldier's coma.

Will temporarily went back to the troops with Esdeath.

I had already noticed the captain's expression after he read the paper.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Captain, what about the previous attack and what was written on that piece of paper?"

After reading the piece of paper that fell as the carp turned into ice and snow, the captain seemed to be somewhat happy.

Face Will's problem.

Esdeath gave an irrelevant answer.

"Will, go inform His Majesty that I will be holding a tournament tomorrow."

Will was stunned.

Tatsumi, who won the last martial arts competition, won the captain's favor. Could it be the case this time?

Not daring to ask more questions, he followed the captain's orders and walked towards the little emperor's residence.

The corners of Esdeath's mouth were curled up, and her expression was somewhat excited.

The paper held in the slender fingers turned into ice chips and scattered.

"The Fatui—Secretary."

empire.

the next day.

Whether it is on the streets, in taverns or in the mansions of nobles and wealthy businessmen.

There is a piece of news spreading rapidly.

"Have you heard? There will be another martial arts tournament this afternoon."

"Yeah, it feels like there will be something good to watch this time."

"I don't know what happened to the last winner, Tatsumi. I heard he joined the Hunter Corps, but I don't know if he actually got the Imperial Tool."

While everyone was discussing this, someone who knew more about the inside story stepped forward and spoke.

"This martial arts competition is different from the last one."

"This isn't a competition to select an imperial weapon user. Someone challenged Esdeath."

"Did you see that huge carp in the sky last night?"

"That's the other party's way of sending a declaration of war!"

"I was nearby at the time, and I almost thought that a super dangerous species from the empire had broken into it."

“Who knew that the giant carp would be instantly shattered into an ice sculpture by General Esdeath.”

Hearing this, some people were surprised and uncertain.

"Could it be the people from the Night Raid? They don't even want to assassinate, but want to fight head-on with the strongest in our empire?"

Some people laughed and said, "How can those guys who attacked at night be a match for the general?"

"They are just a bunch of clowns. While the general was suppressing the northern tribes, they were still playing house!"

"latest news!"

"Latest news!!"

At this time, someone rushed over shouting.

He panted a little and said, "I heard that the challenger this time is a new organization that I have never heard of."

"It seems to be called something like The Fatui, and the challenger seems to be called The Secretary."

Everyone who heard the news looked at each other in surprise.

Immediately they all burst into laughter.

"Fools, what a stupid name!"

"No wonder you dare to challenge General Esdeath."

They originally thought it was a night attack and were a little worried.

But after hearing that it was this kind of unknown and second-rate organization, they immediately took up the mentality of watching a good show.

"What kind of secretary? I guess he doesn't even dare to show up after seeing his special skills being easily broken."

Someone laughed like this.

In their view, the giant carp that flew high in the sky of the empire yesterday was most likely the Fatui's trump card.

I guess he won't show up today after seeing how General Esdeath handled the issue so casually.

But people who always love to join in the fun still choose to go to the competition site in the afternoon to see if the so-called Fatui dare to really show up.

If it really happens, they will have to enjoy watching the strongest battle in the empire.

……

Night attack on the stronghold.

Everyone gathered together again.

Leone looked a little confused after hearing the latest news.

"How dare they challenge Esdeath head-on?!"

If she were to challenge him head on, she felt that even that young master would...

And by then, the empire's other strongest general, General Bud, will definitely go to watch the battle.

In this case, it would be almost impossible to kill Esdeath.

Fatui... Sir, what on earth are you thinking about?

and many more……

"Boss, who did you just say the challenger was?"

Najeshitan's expression was also somewhat fluctuating. "The Fatui - Secretary."

This!

Leone, who didn't pay attention to what was said later at first, was a little surprised.

"Why would it be the secretary? Didn't the young master do it himself?"

"Even he wouldn't be able to defeat Esdeath head-on."

In her opinion, the Young Master should be the strongest among the Fatui.

But when facing Esdeath, not only did the young master choose to challenge her head-on, but he also chose to take action himself?

Damn!

Leone felt that she should explain to the young master in advance how powerful Esdeath was.

He couldn't really think that General Budd was the strongest in the empire.

You don't really think that Esdeath got to the position with the support of the ministers!

Suddenly, Najeshitan asked Leone, "He claimed to be the executive officer of the Fatui at that time, right?"

"Well, that's indeed what he said."

Leona confirmed, she was a little confused as to why the boss suddenly asked this.

"What if there is more than one Fatui executive officer?"

"What if the secretary is also an executive officer of the Fatui and has strength that is no weaker than that young master?"

These questions immediately made the people who were on the night raid unable to recover from their shock.

Leone was also a little bit unbelievable, but he couldn't refute it.

It was her wishful thinking that the Young Master was the strongest of the Fatui, and this was not information she got from the Young Master himself.

In other words, the secretary may be at the same level as the young master, or even stronger.
