Eugene and Theresa were both stunned by the scene.

If Theresa's daze meant that she didn't know what was going on, then Eugene didn't expect Abrana to be so cautious, no, foresighted.

Obviously, they were both in a remote city far away from the imperial capital. Obviously, compared to her, he was many years older and had worked in the pinnacle of power, second only to the emperor. But judging from the current situation, it was this child who saw the corruption and tactics of the empire more clearly than he did.

He really didn't expect that the Empire would come to assassinate him.

After being stunned for a moment, Eugene immediately shouted: "Tereya!"

"Don't try to escape!"

Liva's reaction was no slower than Eugene's. Before Theresa was about to mount her horse and leave, he had already jumped over the servant's spear and stabbed the horse with the sword in his hand.

He was indeed very fast, but the servants surrounding the horse had a more advantageous position than him and directly blocked Liva's sword with their bodies.

The sharp blade pierced his chest. Riva frowned and was about to draw out the sword, but then he saw a scene that shocked him.

The resurrected 'corpse' did not fall again because of this fatal attack. Instead, it stretched out its hands and grasped the sword, making it impossible for Liva to escape immediately. Then another servant stabbed Liva's head with a spear.

If the opponent is an ordinary enemy, his choice would be to turn his head to avoid the attack, and then kick the attacking enemy.

But the warmth emanating from these strange corpses made him give up this idea, and he could only put down his weapon with a gloomy face.

Daidas swung his double axes over his head, almost smashing the servants in front of him into meat paste, but with the burning of white-purple flames, the dead bodies gathered together again.

No, rather than saying that it was a corpse but no blood flowed out after it was chopped into pieces, it should be something other than a corpse.

"It's a Teigu similar to the March of the Dead."

Liva said after retreating to a safe position.

Although they are also corpses, the March of the Dead does not have the ability to resurrect after a corpse dies again.

"It doesn't look that easy to solve."

Niu raised her eyebrows, but she didn't suspect that Liva was slacking off. The enemy's situation was unclear, and this was not a suitable place for Liva to perform. It was normal to suffer a setback if he was careless.

but……

"In that case, it seems like this is the time for me to be useful."

Niu took out an ordinary-looking flute, which was the imperial instrument of the flute, the military music dream scream.

It can freely manipulate the emotions of its audience and is known to boost morale on the battlefield. It can manipulate dozens of emotions, not only to strengthen its own side, but also to put the enemy into various states that affect combat, such as falling asleep.

Although you may develop a resistance to the song if you listen to it repeatedly, its power is undeniable as a weapon on the battlefield and for first kills.

As the flute played, Theresa, who was originally trying to soothe the frightened horse, suddenly felt sleepy and almost fell off the horse. Eugene almost fell asleep, with half of his body off the horse's back. Fortunately, Theresa supported him in time.

However, the servants turned a deaf ear to such voices. To put it bluntly, manipulating emotions and making people sleep are essentially stimulating brain secretions, but this is a bit funny for the servants.

Our hearts have stopped beating, we have become metaphysical biology, and you are still playing with this B physics?

"Protect the master and the young lady!"

Guard Captain Henderson finally completed the transformation into a servant. His talent was not outstanding, so he gained more power under such circumstances, and the transformation time naturally increased a lot.

But correspondingly, he also gained enough powerful strength.

Henderson, who couldn't even withstand a single blow from Daidas, swung the spear in his hand and knocked Daidas away with a force that he himself could hardly imagine. Although the opponent was not hurt, the scene shocked Liva and Niu who were standing by.

"My Teigu has no effect on them!"

Niu said with an ugly expression.

"Go together."

Riva's face also turned completely gloomy. This time they had to take action, which meant they could not make any mistakes. Not only would they be punished by Lady Esdeath if they made any mistakes, but more importantly, Neo had used the imperial weapon. In this case, as long as the other party left and conducted a careful investigation, they would be able to find out that they were the Three Beast Warriors.

While this may not be a big deal, it still adds to the trouble.

Niu stopped playing the lullaby, nodded, and started playing a song to strengthen her teammates.

This gave Theresa and Eugene some time to cheer themselves up, but they also felt the current situation was difficult.

Ma had fallen asleep under Niu's hypnosis. They didn't dare to leave the guards too far, for fear that leaving the protection circle would give the other side a chance to behead them. But... although the guards temporarily resisted the attack of the three beast warriors with their immortal characteristics, everyone knew that if they defended for too long, they would lose.

What's more, due to the huge gap in combat experience, the guards' coordination has a practical delay.

This is definitely not going to be good!

What was even more powerless was that even though they knew the situation was not good, there was nothing they could do.

Time passed minute by minute. Although the three beast warriors were humans with limited physical strength, their ability to sustain combat was not bad. Continuous tests had allowed them to figure out the defensive weaknesses of this strange team in front of them.

After exchanging glances, the three of them cooperated tacitly to open a gap for Daidas that was just enough for an axe to break through, but this was enough.

A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. These guys who couldn't provide experience points made him bored and angry. After fighting for so long, he could finally complete the task and gain experience points.

The power of Belvak's two axes was activated instantly. After losing the obstruction of the guards, Eugene, the number one target, will face endless pursuit. Even if Theresa is willing to block the axe for him, it doesn't matter. They have plenty of time to create a loophole again.

The huge axe that passed through the crowd made everyone's heart tighten. Just as Daidas expected, Theresia crossed her spear without thinking and tried to block the attack, but the clear premonition that she could not resist made her determined to die.

However, just before the axe was about to hit, a spear fell from the sky, and the huge force knocked the axe directly to the ground.

This sudden scene made Daidas subconsciously stop urging the axe to chase, and instead looked behind him.

Not only him, the three beast warriors' extremely sharp battlefield intuition allowed them to immediately feel the danger of being tightly locked by a powerful life form behind them.

They saw a team of about twenty people who had arrived less than three hundred meters away from them. Everyone in the team was dressed neatly in white formal attire, like a non-commissioned officer's uniform, and rode tall horses with clear muscular lines.

Standing at the head of the team was a mature woman with long platinum hair and two horns on her head.

One of her eyes was hidden in her drooping bangs, and the green pupil revealed was not warm, but instead full of coldness and aggression. Combined with the playful smile at the corner of her mouth, she exuded an astonishing sense of oppression.

Who is this woman...!?

Chapter 4: Love Brana's ambition.

“Ella…?”

Seeing the figure, Theresia was a little nervous.

Although she was the daughter of a former minister, Theresa had never participated in any key events. Every day she was either practicing martial arts or on her way to practice martial arts. Occasionally, she would go to the Government Affairs Office to chat with Abrana to relax. However, she had always known Abrana as someone with good physical fitness, but a civil servant like her father.

Unlike Theresa, Eugene has a deep understanding of Abrana. He knows Abrana's abilities and has studied the documents of the first Draco. He is even more aware of Abrana's powerful strength and the ambition that matches that strength.

Liva had been a general in the empire, but there were many generals in the empire, and he was not considered a high-ranking official. When he was a general, he did not know much about Aburana.

However, after following General Esdeath, he seemed to hear General Esdeath excitedly mentioning his desire to compete with the legendary 'Duke of Dragon' after drinking. Unfortunately, the Duke had been dead for nearly a thousand years, and his only bloodline had been wasted and trained, and he had completely become a corrupt civil servant.

At this moment, he had to connect the girl in front of him who looked like she had just reached adulthood with the corrupt civil servants that Esdeath had mentioned, but he just couldn't connect them.

Corrupt civil servants? Really?

Looking at the dragon girl riding a horse and walking towards him at a leisurely pace, Liva felt that the blood in his body had stagnated.

Powerful and oppressive, it was as if Lady Esdeath was standing before him.

But compared to the extremely wild and fiery oppressive feeling of Lady Esdeath, the girl in front of him was more like the tip of an iceberg on the calm sea. Although she didn't look amazing, everyone could immediately realize that she was much more than that.

"who are you?!"

Niu was the first to lose control and asked through gritted teeth.

"A mere agent of a lord, or a pioneer who ignites a flame that should have been lit long ago."

Abbrana's eyes followed the question to him, and Niu, who was about to snap at the riddle, suddenly caught her breath.

"Your Excellency...we..."

Liva knew that they had already formed a feud with these two teams, and it was impossible to escape because all members of the opposing team had horses.

In this situation, I have to find a way to control this dragon girl.

As he spoke, he approached the girl in front of him. Even though he knew that his idea was a bit far-fetched, it was his only recourse at the moment.

"I don't want to hear your explanations now. Your bravery was misplaced, but it won't happen again."

Abbrana's voice wasn't majestic, but rather sounded more like a gentle woman speaking her heart out. But if you listened carefully, you'd discover it was more like a whisper that gradually took over the mind, a whisper that made the prey willingly step into the trap.

Not wanting to listen to any nonsense, Abrana raised her black-shafted, white-headed spear, blocking Riva's advance. The smile on her face grew more playful, as if she had read his mind. "Stop here, Fool."

Are you treating me like a clown for your amusement?

Liva's eyes narrowed, and the ring on his finger suddenly popped out a sharp hook, which then cut his thumb without hesitation.

"The Water Dragon possesses Black Marlin!"

This is an imperial weapon that can control water, and it can also control one's own blood.

Although he had the ability to take poison and then use blood to exchange for one with the enemy, he did not think he had a chance to perform such a big move and survive in front of this dragon girl.

The sharp column of blood is enough to pierce anyone's skin. Once the skin is pierced, the blood can be used to disrupt the blood flow in the opponent's body, and even achieve an instant kill.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

Because the attack that he placed all his hopes on did not achieve the expected effect. Not to mention the expected effect, it did not even reach within half a meter of the dragon girl.

The blood that should have pierced the enemy's skin ignited and evaporated at the front end. The familiar high temperature and purple flame made him think of the strange phenomenon of the guards who came back to life.

“It’s you…!?”

"Don't worry, your abilities won't be buried here. The empire that betrayed you deserves to be considered your enemy. Esdeath can only grant you the right to repay an eye with an eye, but cannot grant you true revenge that would sever the root of hatred."

"Is your enemy only the lord who framed you?"

The smile on Abrana's face faded slightly. Facing this dying man, no matter how many sins he had committed, they were already a passing cloud. In his final words, Abrana made a promise: "I will give you a higher perspective, allowing you to see the truth of your broken life, recognize the reality that you have become a tool of the enemy, and then give you a chance to truly seek revenge on your enemies."

Liva had lost all perception of anything. Only the burning sensation of the flames and the light yet bone-deep muttering still existed in his world.

Ignoring the three figures engulfed in purple flames, Abrana dismounted and walked in front of Eugene and Theresa.

"you……"

Eugene's expression was extremely complicated. Although he had overestimated Abrana's strength as much as possible, he did not expect that it still exceeded his expectations. But what exceeded his expectations even more was Abrana's words just now.

"As you can see, Lord Eugene."

Abbrana understood Eugene's timidity and loss of courage due to age, but she had given Eugene enough opportunities to face reality: "This is the empire today. It has existed for a thousand years and is now entering the countdown of its death."

"What you want to do...isn't fighting for the throne!?"

Hearing this, Eugene, who had already prepared himself mentally, was shocked again.

It was said that they were fighting for the throne, but in fact they were plotting to usurp the throne. This crime was already very serious, and it was a crime that was shameful enough for an old minister like him. But even with such a crime, he could do it to save the empire, but... what Abrana said was completely different.

She is not trying to usurp the throne, she is trying to conquer the country.

Although she is the emperor's daughter, usurping the throne is completely different from conquering an empire. If she conquers an empire, she is no longer the "daughter of the previous emperor" but the "founding emperor."

"Marquis Eugene, your skills and abilities are unmatched in the world, but your ambitions and vision are becoming increasingly narrow."

Abbrana was not upset by Eugene's gaffe, not only because Eugene had been her adoptive father for twelve years, but also because she knew very well how important Eugene's talents were to her.

To put it bluntly, she currently has no rear-end manpower. Eugene is capable of being the starting point of her power now, an assistant in handling government affairs, and power management in the future when her power and talents increase.

Don’t live in seclusion, old man. You are only fifty years old, which is a good age to work hard.

Chapter 5: Cooperation?

Eugene did not give any further response, but his attitude of not refusing seemed to have explained his inner hesitation.

Abrana was not in a hurry. There was still a lot of time. Even if a war was to start, it would not be possible immediately. Although she was much better than Abrana in controlling the dead fire because of the Taixu sword energy, separating the flames would still consume her own strength.

If you want your flame to burn more vigorously, in addition to making your own flame stronger, you can also grow it geometrically through "lending".

Let the flames burn and grow in other people, and then let them infect more people. In this way, when you recover the flames, you can collect the extra interest.

But that's what Aburana did in the original book.

As someone behind her, Abrana had many solutions. The simplest one was to apply for a core or spirit crystal, but that was somewhat wasteful, so she applied for something cheaper, the Shennong Stigmata three-piece set effect.

This stigma that increases the efficiency of blood and energy pack recovery in the game has become an unconditional increase in blood and energy recovery after optimization. Although the recovery amount has been weakened, the bonus of the stigma itself is already visible to the naked eye.

Recovering from her thoughts, Abrana looked at Thereya, who had been suppressing her emotions and remained silent.

"What does it feel like to actually fight?"

She asked with a smile.

Treya pursed her lips and said, "I led the team to deal with all the robbers on the road."

She has always been aware of Aburana's over-maturity and eccentricity. In the past, she often tried to build a good relationship with her, but the results were not optimistic. Although she always considered herself to be Aburana's sister and subject, this misplaced identity and Aburana's smile in her eyes always made her unable to confirm her thoughts.
